A Stroll in Kan Sns City.

When morning came the rain had ceased
falling, but a dense fog still prevailed, and
kept our views from becoming too flrreach-
ing A good nights rest has rccuperatcd us
sufficiently from the effects of our trip, so
we accepted an invitation to take a stroll
through the city.
From an insignificant steamboat landing
of few years ago. it has become one of the
great railroad ccntcrs and stock markets of
the West To one accustomed with the
solid old cities of the East it soon becomes
apparent that it is but of yesterday. Some
Of The est corner lots in the heart of the
city beng vacant and some Of the new
streets are without pavemcats and many
without crossings. The recent heavy rain
with the last named accommodations miss.
ing, made the streets seem rather uninviting
to an eastern pedestrian. The SOIL in and
around the city is of Il deep black loan and
when saturated with rain, clin!s with
tcnacty cqua! to glue.
fortunately we did not have far to go UNI
til we reached the cable cars. 1t requires
but short ride to demonstrate their superb
GRITTY over the common street car. The
cable runs faster and mlintalns the same
rate of speed ascending and DIES zen ling the
steep bluffs, as on the level. The cars
receive their motive power from the cable or
chain which is operated by an engine of
100 to 1000 horse power. Etch engine
runs from ) to miles of cable. The rails
are laid on V shaped iron ties through the
center Of which runs the cable. | am told
they are very expensive, Uhe cham or cable
alone costing $4,000 bat always pays Il
handsome income.
We next inspected the stock yarls where
Thousands AMI thousands Of cattle, hogs and
sheep from all parts Of the West can be seen.
We then VISITED one Of the packing houses
and went through all the different depart
ments. To give oar readers even Il vague
idea of the work and business done in one of
these packing houses would consume too
much valuable space. S ltiirc it to say this
one has capacity for Strengthening ten thou
sand hogs, four thousln sheep and three
Thousand heevcs per day. There are six
more packing houses besides this in X. G.
Cyclones travel this way occasionally, but
they pay little heed to this fact in thu cree
ton of buildings some of them beng twelve
AMI thirteen stories high. The different
styles of architecture and the majority of the
bull lings beng new make a find appearance.
In past years the vicinity Of X. G. used to be
the rendezvous Of the James gang.

which they raide the toll box is now occu-
