LOCATION DETERMINED.
Stewart, Coney & Co. to Remain Where They
are-Plant to be Doubled in Size.

For some days Stewart, Coney & Co..
have been considering the bids submitted
on the first Of June, for the location of
their plant. The north part of the city
was represented; the West Side; the local
ity around the nail factory building; Law
renee avenue at the Wichita & Western
and the vicinity around the old location
Of the plant. Most Of the bids were even
much better than the company had eX-
pected to see. Three of them were about
equal in valuation and it took some care
full work to reach conclusion.
1t was decided yesterday to accept the
proposition received for the present loca-
ton. Mr.. O'Neal, who owned the build
ing which was destroyed by fire, will
rebuilt the same size, it being two stories,
with a front of seventy-five feet and
one hundred and thirty-two feet deep.
Another building Of same size will be
erected adjoining on the north, which will
give the company the room desired to
carry on their immense business. They
will then have a two-story building one
hundred and fifty feet front by one hum
dred and thirty-two feet deep. This will
be one of the largest foundry buildings in
the west. The company has ordered an
immense amount of new machinery and
will be ready in few weeks to start up
full blast.
The old foundry is now being used, the
first heat being taken yesterday, which
turned out twenty thousand pounds OF

OLE TO SEE ,EM TROT.

The famous school board committee ap-
pointed to trot educators up and down the
track to make a selection of superlnten-
dent of schools left last night on their
eastern pleasure trip at the city's expense,
paying for the fun. The committee con-
sists of J. j. Fegtley, l.. w. Clapp and
George L. Campbell 1t is said each men,
Der had intended to make a trip east this
summer to attend to some private bust
ness matters but the present outing will
occupy so much time that they will be I'M
able to make another trip, and will attend
to the private business matters while they
are away this time, and the city pay rail-
road fare board bill and "sundries." They
expect to leave the train first at Kansas
City, No., union depot and owing to rail-
road time tables will be compelled to re-
main there an hour or two, unless they
hire special for st. Louis. 1t is thought,
however, the time can be spent very pleas
emily in the old time Blossom house
and the city saved the expense of a special
train. At Carthage, Mo-, it is thought
they may take a look at the country, and
the next shake of the box they will roll
out in the office of the Southern. After
paying strict attention and noting points
of favor and defect in St. Louis educators,
they may whirl up to Chicago, dredge the
lake for Cronin, then 60 on to Johnstown
to see the damage done there by the food
and what class of architecture used there
which was injured most by the water and
the kind that stood the raging torrents
best. This, it is thought, will be most
valuable information to be applied 20 Tie

BOARD TRADE CLOCK.

The Sidney Automatic Advertising
Clock Co.. have placed one Of their clocks
in the board of trade room of this city.
The advertising spaces are used exclusive
~ by the manufacturers and jobbers, there
being forty spaces in all and the lettering
principally done with gold and silver on
glass is very ornamental and attractive.
The clock is an eight-day, calendar clock,
made by the Ithaca Calendar Clock CO.
One particular novelty about the clock is
the three cylinders placed 1t the base of the
clock, each cylinder holding four advertise
ments. the cylinders make a quarter
revolution simultaneously at intervals Of
five minutes, displaying new cards each
time they revolve. The gearing which
runs the cylinders is very simple and
durable, and runs eight days Below the
cylinkers set OF pigeon holes is located,
one for each advertisement, in which TO
place his cards, printed matter, etc. On
the whole the clock, while being useful
and ornamental. is also une1celled as an
advertising medium. These clocks are
being fplaced in board OF trade rooms
throughout the east and west.

college were held Tuesday at 10 a. m. in
the chapel of the university. The attend
ance was better this year than last, and
the Interest manifested in this department
of the university was greater. We were
glad to note the attendance of a larger
number of the friends of the university
from other cities and towns.
The music was furnished by the orches-

saying that it was good.

cises:

ago, and Miss Flora Lloyd, who had asked
to be excused from reading her essay.
At the close of the exercises certificates
of graduation from the Normal college
were presented to the twelve members of
the class by Prof J. NJ. Atwater, the dean
of the Normal college.
This class becomes now the freshman
class of the college of Arts and Sciences.

ness streets paved.
c. II. Luling-Let's quit swimming and

T. H. Robinson-Strictly in favor of it.
We need it. Am ready to pay my part OF

r. L. Bostic-It is the all important
thing; must do it to be "a city. Let US start
in the work soon.
w. F. Green-I want to see Douglas ave-
nue. paved from the river to Washington
avenue. Main street paved from English
to Central or to Oak street; First street
from Water to Fifth avenue; Lawrence
avenue from Douglas avenue to Thirteenth
street. Am willing and ANXIOUS that resi-
dence streets should also be likewise i'm
proved, and am quite willing
to put up my part of the taxes. Lawrence
avenue paved with asphalt forty-fve feet
wide, parked on either side, will be one OF
the finest avenues in the world.
j. G. Woodsworth-Think it would be a
good thing to pave the business streets.
Endorse most heartily the position OF the
EAGLE on the question. 1t will make
Wichita city sure CROUCH.
Ed Dumont-Paye the streets of course,
al least the business streets, and one or
two residence streets.
J. II. McCall-We can not have a city
with the ordinary country road. Must
have paving soon or take out the electric
motor and other improvements and sell
our elevated curb and gutter on North
Market street to some more enterprising
county seat. Asphalt is good, vitrolized
brick has proved success under the
heavy iron teams of eastern cities for
several years. Use the best, and COM
mence right away.

THE CLAY CENTER TRAGEDY.

The following telegram was received at
Hotel Metropole yesterday morning from
Clay Center:
81. B. Wellington shot here this morn
ing. Cannot leave. Send friend here at
once. Z. ,. LEWIS,
Proprietor Hotel Bonham.''
Mr.. Wellington's little boy, who is here
in the city working at the Globe" left
Immediately, accompanied by Mr.. Rosen-
helm, of the Fashion," and Mr.. Coin, of
the Globe"
To the friends of Mr.. Wellington here
in Wichita the news was not much OF a
surprise. He had been frequently warned
by travelling men to remain away from
Clay Center, and while going to
the train Sunday in the bus
he was again cautioned to stay away from
that town. He replied that be was not
afraid.
Wellington has for some time past made
his home at the hotels OF this city. He
was twice married; his first wife, the
mother of the child, is dead. He has not
lived with his second wife for some time,
she being now with her parents in st.
Louis. The rupture grew out Of firta-
| ton which Wellington had with married
woman here in Wichita.
The cause Of the shooting, as is well
known to his friends, grew out of a fiirta-
ton with the wife of banker
at Clay Center. How it has been
carried on is not definitely known, but is
believed to be for some time. He frequent
" spoke to his friends of the matter and
seemed to have a great affection for the
woman. Her picture he had in his room,
and to his friends he would read her let
tiers, full of the most affectionate and en-
dearing terms. A gentleman who has
heard them read said that these letters
were generally of fifteen or sixteen pages,
and full of loathing and disgust for her
own "loveless partner" Her husband, it
seems, was a prominent young banker
possessed of many good qualities,
but, as is generally the case.
they sank into insignificance in
the wo-lan's opinion when contrasted with
the eloquent appearance of Wellington.
Reference was made in one Of these epistles
to trip together to Kansas City, but it
was discovered and this led to the young
lady's father taking up the matter, and
finally in Yesterdays tragedy.

RIVERSIDE

Grand opening" dodgers for Riverside
park were distributed yesterday and last
evening at O'Clock five electric cars were
in waiting at Market and Douglas. The
band was present and gave selection
which attracted the crowds on the streets:
In few minutes the cars were filled and 4
short run TO the park. The park was
lighted up by incandescent lights from the
station of.the railway and Chinese lanterns.
In short time there was an immense
crowd present. The bowling alley, dance
platform and the merry go round" were
occupied.
From conservative estimate there were
about eighteen hundred people present.
Some disreputable characters well known
in such circles arrived. but were given the
grand bounce, and took the next car re-
turning. The park viii be open every
night but special program given occa-
