THE PAVING QUESTION.
A Matter Which Must Vow Soon Confront Us.

During the absence Of the editor OF this
paper we see that the matter OF paving has
been brought up. The EAGLE has only
been waiting for the past two years and
until the mains and submains OF sewer
system should be put in, to commence the
advocacy of paving several streets or prin-
cipal portions of them. The sewer system
is going in, in apparently satisfactory
shape, and it is already apparent that no
urging or argument is going to be neces-
sary with cur business men. They almost,
if not quite, unanimously recognize the
fact that this matter of paving is now the
only thing that Wichita lacks of being
full fiedged city, with all the accompany
ing rattle of street racket and cleanliness
as to business. The only question which
seems likely to provoke discussion is the
material or character of the pavement.
The EAGLE is on record, and has been
for years on this question, and 1t went on
record to the same effect two years ago.
There are only two kinds of pavement
worthy of consideration, Asphaltum and
Belgium or Granite block. The cobble,
the macadaEl, the vitroliZed and ham,
mered bricks and all species of wood, how
ever treated, are delusion and snare,
as hundreds of cities have demon
strated over and over again. The
granite block is the most durable but it is
the noisiest, the hardest on ali manner of
vehicles, therefore expensive, and its first
cost is the greatest. The asphaltum is the
smoothest, least noisy, most easily
swept, and next to the granite
the most lasting. The bed, or
foundation of the asphaltum pavement
of course never gives out. The surface
coat runs from five and seven years to
twelve and fifteen years with little or no
repair, which repair comes out of the gen.
eral fund. Resident streets need but lit
tie repairing. The cost of sprinkling dirt
streets will keep the asphaltum always
clearly swept. All kinds of stone except
granite and also all manners Of brick dis
integrate and all woods give way and dis
appear or become impossible from rotting.
When we get ready let Wichita choose
one of the two best, either of which
though costing the most in the first place
will be found the cheapest even at the end
of the first ten years. For resident streets
for all times and all places the asphaltum
is the thing

WEDDING BELLS AND CARDS.

From far away Guaymas, in its almost
tropical setting on the shores of the Sea Of
Cortes, the borders of whose waters know
no winter, whose flowers and fruits bloom
and ripen, there reaches us an engraved
card from Senior William l.. Zuber, who
requests our presence at his home on the
9th of March to witness the giving of the
hand and heart of his fair and only daugh-
ter, Mary, to the life-keeDing of A. E.
Mead, the auditor of the Sonora branch Of
the Santa Fe road. Albert Mead is "A
Wichita boy, known to many of our local
readers. the son of Mr.. and Mrs W. B.
Mead, of this city, who will depart for
the Gulf of California on the 18th of Feb
ruary to participate in the browning event
of their sons life. The expectant bride is
said to be exceedingly beautiful of face
and form and of the richness of complex
ion which the constant sun of that lati-
tude ever imparts to the faces of her dark
eyed daughters. The EAGLE congratulates
the anticipating pair most intimately con-
cerned, not forgetting the parents on both
sides and all the relatives and friends.

respond to this pitiful call?-Ed. EAGLE]

Last night the gentlemen Of the Metro
pole entertained their friends in most
elegant manner at the hotel parlors. So
nicely arranged had everything been by
the gentlemen themselves, and the propri-

remembered with pleasure. The two large
front parlors were thrown open and can
vass spread upon the floors, while the third
parlor made most delightful place for
conversation and social intercourse.

freshments were served. The ladies were
all in elegant evening toilets, the lighter

slightly manner of fixing the curves has
