panies her. Please see that her connec-

The conductor said that the passengers
had taken quite an interest in the lonely
little traveller and had been uniformly
kind to her, buying her such refreshments
as could be secured on the train.

A CITY RUlLDING.

What is the matter with the city buying
the county building and converting it into
a city building? 1t is central, contains
magnificent room for . council chamber, a
splendid police court room, all the neces-
sary vaults for care of records, all the
necessary rooms for city officers, rooms
which can be fixed for strong central fire
department, etc, etc. The commissioners
have the power to sell we believe and when
the building was taken years ago by the
county for debt it was expected at that
time that the building would fall into the
hands of the city sooner or later.

ANOTHER WHOLESALE HOUSE.
To Be HI own IS W. Z. Bishop 4 Sons. Who
VIII be Ready for whoiesaling Cigars
in Few Days.

1t will be remembered that last Febru-
airy Mr.. W. T. Bishop and son, Frank T.,
OF Cincinnati, were in the city looking
over the facilities for starting wholesale
business in cigars They had left home
with the intention of visiting Kansas City,
No., Denver and Wichita. and make Sc
lection from the three cities for commenc-
ing business. They visited Kansas City
and Denver and took in Wichita last.
After remaining in the city few days and
spending some days in the surrounding
towns sizing up the country naturally
tributary TO Wichita. they concluded TO
locate in Wichita, and as result secured
a room twenty-five by one hundred feet in
the Clement block, the lease to begin on
the 18th of this month On the 14th Mr.
and Mrs. Bishop, their two sons, II. NJ
and Frank T., and Mrs. H. NJ. Bishop and
daughter arrived to make Wichita their
home.
The firm will be known in business cir
cles as W. T. Bishop & Sons. and will do a
strictly wholesaling business in cigars.
They expect to be ready for business in a
few days, not later than the last OF this
week. They will carry full line Of Key
west cigars, many brands of New York
and Philadelphia factories, and all brands
of the Hawk cigar factory, of Cincinnati.
which by the way is operated by r. NJ.
Bishop Sc Co. The Ohioans and many
others will remember r. NJ. Bishop as
once governor of Ohio aud holding many
positions of honor in the state, and who is
now member of the board of commits
sioners of the Cincinnati Southern rail-
road. He has been in the cigar manufac-
turing business for over twenty-five years
and the Bishop cigars are known with al
most every dealer in the Mississippi basin.
The retailers in this city and in all the ter
ritory tributary to Wichita are acquainted
with the Bishop trade in cigars which is
an important fact in favor of an
early business for the new firm in this city.
Mr.. Bishop stated yesterday that he
don't feel like he is among strangers for
on every hand he is accosted by Ohioans
and people VINO have for years done BUSH
ness with the Cincinnati firm and who
have good word for his new venture. He
says he has assurances already Of many
customers and he proposes to make his
conversation interesting to them in BUSH
ness way and assist them in making Wich-
tia wholesale point in cigars as well as IN
other classes of business. He is almost en-
thusiastic over the prospects. Reaching
the city in the evening after days travel
in the state, he puts it the Bishop family
wer. more than pleased with the outlook
for satisfactory business and pleasant
home.

TROUBLE AHEAD PREDICTED.

AS a result of the step in the direction of
paving Market street the superintendent
Of the water company, Mr.. Amsbary,
stated yesterday that the company would
make arrangements at an early date to
take up the wooden main from English
street to Elm and replace II with iron.
The wooden main is six inches in diameter
and the iron main will be eight inches,
which will give better fire protection for
the large buildings on the street. 1t is
not certain when work will commence but
it will not be many weeks There may be
some difficulty in getting iron pipe as fast
as 1t is needed.
Should the council hasten the scheme OF
paving Market street few weeks, accord
ing TO member of the council, will find
them ready. 1t is thought the water COM
pany will not be out of the way with the
main work. In addition TO this il Is
stated that for some kinds of pavement
the street should not be disturbed by any
sort of work for at least year before the
paving work is commenced. II is
said the ground should be solid,
and II il Is not the
work can not be done in satisfactory
manner. This feature Of the question
causes some OF the property owners TO turn
pale in the face and think paving improve
ments are coming By freight They seem
10 think, however. that the motor company
Will not remove the old wooden mains IN
til paving is ordered and when they are re-
moved part of the street Will resemble a
plowed field and not ready for the i'm

ton for Main street stated yesterday that

HEAVY RAINS.

Reports from railroad offices have it that
considerable damage resulted from a very
heavy rain the counties of Butler and
Greenwood. Some speak of it as heavy
Kansas rain, while Others apply the term
cloud-burs At any rate it seems that the
branches of the Walnut and and White
rivers were filled to overlooking and made
things quite interesting around Augusta
and FL Dorado early Sunday morning.
The Missouri Pacific seems to have suf-
fered the most inconvenience, as an en-
bankment of fifteen hundred feet just east
of FL Dorado bridge across the Walnut
was washed away taking with it the track,
ties and making very level spot of
ground The bridge was saved by the
company running a freight train on it and
going the elements one better in the game.
In a short time after the water was at its
highest, the railroad fill had been re-
moved and an outlet for the water in
creased the chances for saving the bridge.
Six of the railroad bridges within fifty
miles east of El Dorado were removed. AS
a result trains were suspended Sunday and
yesterday, but it is thought everything
will be ready to resume business by this
evening. No accidents as result of the
washout happened TO any trains, passen-
ger or freight.
The Frisco track through Augusta was
under water and the offices were visited to
the extent of five feet. For some time
Sunday morning it was thought the bridge
had disappeared, but it held its place and
trains went over it yesterday afternoon.
The road is ready for business today. 1t
was reported also that the Santa Fe at
Augusta had lost few hundred feet of
track.
1t was reported that number Of farm
houses on the Walnut river north Of FL
Dorado were washed away and five or six
people had been drowned. In Ell Dorado
before daylight Sunday morning a man
discovered water in his house and con-
cluded TO move his family to high land.
He started with his wife and two children,
and crossing bridge it was carried away.
The wife and one child were drowned
while the man and the other child were
carried in tree top where they remained
until daylight when they were rescued.
1t was reported that quite large
amount OF wheat was destroyed. Ii is
thought the loss in this particular greater
than any other as far as property is con-
cerned. Several hundred acres of the river
bottoms were covered with water and the
wheat harvested. Much Of it washed away
while some already in stack was badly
damaged.
1t was also reported yesterday that the
Minnesota was beyond its banks and the
Mulvane branch of the Santa Fe had lost
bridge and was not bsing operated yes
