TESTING CIaAYS.
Looking for Clay to Make Vitrfned Brick-AI
Important Meeting Yesterday.

For some time experiments have been
made by some parties testing the qualities
of clay found within a few miles of the
city hoping to find a clay of which could
be made vitrified brick for paving The
experimental work has been going on for
some weeks, in fact the hunt commenced
months ago. There are three crowds in
vestigating. Each have clay they are
testing and one crowd or company seem
to think they have found clay that win
make an excellent brick, and the next step
in the scheme is TO organize company. A
meeting was held yesterday to consider
the question. Some OF the clay had
been sent to Atchison and tested with
unfavorable results reported, but it oc-
Cured that the Atchison fellows might be
hoping and figuring on selling brick for
Wichita paving, and made returns accord
ingly. Another batch had been sent to St.
Louis and the result was NEST favorable.
Those interested in the matter seem to
think they have struck lead and intend
TO follow with vim.
1t was decided at the meeting yesterday
morning to give the clay another test, one
of the number taking some of it to a fac
tory, and in case it was all right beyond a
doubt. company will be organized and
the council on its paving bids will be pre-
sented with a vitrifed brick bid by Il
Wichita company.
The other two parties figuring are at
work earnestly on the clay and hope to
succeed in finding it all right. II SO, prob
ably two other companies will be formed,
provided both are not investigating the
same clay at the same place. which might
cause both to go in one or one get shut out.
They have been working at the matter
very quietly, very careful to not allow any
thing to get away and especially DESTROYS
that the farmer owning the clay at present
does not find out that he has anything
more than soil. If it should be all right
some stranger may buy his farm some day
and after the papers are made out he will
probably be very much dissatisfied.

AN ALCOHOL FIRE.

Last evening at 8 o'clock the alarm of
fire was turned in from the Adams express
office on the east side of Market between
Douglas and First. The department re-
sponded promptly and found big fire in the
cellar of Mr.. Henry Schnitzler, which is
under the Schnitzler building adjoining
on the south of the building occupied by
the express company. The chemical was
put to work and in a few minutes the
building was out of danger. In the alb
sence of prompt action by the department
and by the chemical the loss might have
been very heavy. 1t is one of the few
fires in the city of late that origin is
known. 1t seems that Sid Norman, a
colored man, IN the employ of Schnitzer,
went to the cellar and was drawing some
alcohol from barrel by the light of a
lamp. The alcohol in the measure, about
half gallon, exploded and sid" was
badly burned about the face and hands.
He ran out and give the alarm. Had the
barrel of alcohol caught fire it is thought
there would have been trouble. AS it was
the loss was light.
DR.. Ed. Whitlock was called and cared
for Norman who seemed to suffer con-
siderably.

MEETING OLE FARMERS

The various clubs among the farmers on
the west side of the river have made ar
rangements for grand picnic to be held
at Johnsburg grove, nine miles northwest,
Saturday next. There are twenty clubs
on the West Side and day off for picnic
it is thought will find the most Of them at
the grove. The grove consists of about
sixty acres heavily timbered and is one OF
the best known resorts in the county. AT
an early day il was about the only good
grove in county and was the leading spot
for public gatherings.
During the meeting ON Saturday some
questions that most concern farmers will
be discussed. The Alliance is giving its
attention to some matters at present in
cident to a big crop year which will be
discussed. Some of the leading business
men of the city expect to spend Saturday
afternoon at the meeting. The fair asso-
citation will be represented by Messrs.
John Kelly and ". j. Wilson who will
urge upon the farmers the necessity fol-
holding fair this fall. They go upon in
vitation of some of the leading farmers
who think it would be an opportune time
to consider the matter and explain some
of its features to the people.

SOME FACTS ABOUT CORN.

Mr. c. G.. Morford yesterday brought to
the EAGLE office samples of the corn crop
from his Kingman county farm. 1t is OF
the early variety and is thoroughly
matured The ears will average about ten
inches and the grains are full average size
Though the ear is smaller in diameter than
the common corn. The samples were
taken from upland, and although the crop
matured fully within ninety days from
planting Mr.. Morford is confident the
yield will be sixty bushels per acre.
Mr.. Morford says he has been raising
corn in this section for fourteen years, and
during all that time has been trying to
find a variety of corn that would insure a
crop and at the same time afford fair
yield. Finally this spring he adopted the
suggestion of the EAGLE. that it has urged
for years, Of planting early maturing
corn from the north, and that he has found
what he has been looking for all these
years. Last year on the same ground he
had seventy acres of the common or big
ear variety, and did not harvest from tho
whole crop any more than be will get from
one acre this year.
In order to thoroughly test the merits Of
the two varieties of corn, the early and
the common, Mr.. Morford says he planted
ten acres of the latter at the same time
the other was put in the ground; put it on
the same kind of ground and treated both
alike as to cultivation, and while the early
corn is now ready for the CRIB the other is
just in good roasting ear, and notwith-
standing the exceptionally favorable sea-
son the late corn will not yield any more
per acre than the early. The result of the
test has settled the question of the sort Of
seed corn to use hereafter. He will take
no more chances, but plant early corn
every time.
