\ VALUABLE OPINION.

Hon. Joseph g. Walters, Of Topeka, one
Of the leading legal lights of the state,
who is attending to some business for
Judge Foster, of the United States district,
court called yesterday for brief moment
for the sake of old time relations an &C
quaintanceship. Mr.. Walters is, and al
ways has been at least one Topekan who
stands ready to acknowledge the import
auce of Wichita. After speaking of the
great amount of business which had accu-
INFLATED in the United States court here,
he remarked: We'll, Wichita is still here
and still full of life; they may claim what
they please for other points and say what
they may against Wichita; she is bound
to be 4 great commercial city" This
coming from a man who Is conversan,
with tue standing of every city in Kansas,
and who for years as an attorney for the
Santa Fe road had the best of opportunl-
ties for studying the relative advantages
and importance of the principal cities up-
on that line, is quite fattering. While
such an opinion coming from so prominent
and DISTINGUISHED source might not IN
crease the faith of our citizens which has
never been shaken, it is nevertheless COM
ing unsolicited, valuable and important.
Mr.. Waters will be il the city two or
three days.
