MUCH TALK ABOUT CORN RATES.

Mr.. r. C. Stewart, of the Stewart Iron
works, returned last evening from two
weeks trip in western Kansas and says he
had a very interesting time of it. He says
that part of the state is getting along very
we'll and considerable Improvements are
being made in the line of buildings in the
many towns, which fact made it quite in
teresting to him from business stand
point He says be found the business men
everywhere quite willing and anxious to do
business with Wichita, especially when the
line of talk on the price list suited them.
This fact was potent among the many
favorable inclinations to have a business
year in Wichita.
He says he found quite feeling among
some of the farmers wanting to devise
some scheme for getting better rates on
corn. In the absence of anything favor
able in that line many of the farmers
found the present situation consisting of
freight rates on corn out and freight on
coal in made the former cheaper for fuel,
and as result are using it. They think
this an unnatural state of affairs and
should in some way be remekied. Down
in Kiowa county he heard some of the
farmers talking about directing the atten-
ton of the state railroad commissioners to
the situation, hoping they would De able
to in some way bring relief.
On the same question one of the leading
business men of the city said yesterday
that reduction of three cents per hun
dred on corn to St. Louis and Chicago
would on the amount of col n to be shipped
ont of Sedpwick county bring the county
in cash s275,OOO. He thought it a very Jpn
portant question how to dispose of corn to
the best advantage. Having an abund-
ance of it, it was more of question this
year than last.

MEPROPoLE AND METROPOLITAN.

The completion of the Hotel Metropole
has not only added symmetry to the archi-
tectural appearance to the building but
gives it rank with the many fine and sub
stantial buildings noticeable in Wichita.
He who helps to build city by the eX-
penditure of money for building material
and labor in these hard times is public
benefactor He shows his faith in Wichita
by his works. He gives the mechanics
and laboring men, who have cast their lot
with US, chance to maintain themselves
and families-otherwise they must look
for homes elsewhere. In times of general
prosperity the case is somewhat different;
then everybody wants to build and labor
is in its greatest demand.
This is simply in the line Of argument
pursued by economists with regard to
public improvents; that in hard times
both public and private enterprise must
be stimulated in order that he who
earns his bread by the sweat of his face
may have an opportunity to eat it,
There are rookeries in this city occupy
ing good business sites whose owners it is
claimed, should be induced to replaced
with business blocks in keeping with a live
city. A dozen buildings costing in the ag-
gregate a quarter of million of dollars
erected on eligible business sites, in this
CITY, would do much it is thought, to
stimulate trade at this particular juno
ture.
The building up of the Metropole has
stimulated building to some extent on
south Main street and the chances are that
several fine buildings will go up in that
locality the ensuing year.
To say nothing further of the exterior of
the Metropole--the interior arrangements
are unsurpassed by any hotel in the state.
Pleasant rooms with a southern exposure
and bathroom attachments, access to every
floor by a hydraulic passenger elevator.
steam heat and electric light throughout
and furnished magnificently, with a cuis-
inc unsurpassed, places the Metropole de-
servedly in the front rank of leading
hotels. Business has been much better
than expected when opened up near the
first of the year. The original capacity Of
the hotel has many times been unable to
meet the demand, which fact caused the
owner, Colonel NJ. Stewart, to provide adj
ditionaf room much sooner than he had
originally intended. The hotel at present
has between seventy and eighty nicely fur
nished rooms, and comfortable in every
particular.

THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.

The address of Hon. r. Hatfield, deliv-
cred on Friday night in the Lewis acad-
envy auditorium, was a rare treat to the
audience. The speaker, by his graphic de-
scription of what he saw while travelling
through the park last summer. almost
made his audience feel that they, too, had
seen it all. The lecture introduced the
nearer by the line of old Concord stages
from Cinnabar to the whole panorama of
the mammoth hot springs, the mud
springs, the spouting geysers, Old Faith
full, the Little Faithful and the Lioness
and Cubs. The pathway to the DEVILS
Kitchen was not SO smooth as some would
haye it, but once entering it,
the guest found it sufficiently
warm to lead him to retire before the re-
puted host presented himself. In addition
to the beautiful word picture the lecturer
also illustrated his statements with some
fine views prepared by an artist of Empo-
ria. This park, said the speaker. is pro-
nounced by travellers as unsurpassed in
sublimity and grandeur of scenery and in
awe inspiring evidences of volcanic power
by any other piece of land of equal area in
the world. 1t is already becoming a great
attraction to tourists and with new rail
road facilities will be the great center Of
assembly in the United States. Those who
failed to hear the lecture missed profita-

COMES TO LOOK AFTER WICHITA,

Mr.. George H. Lloyd, of Chicago, who
three years ago made quite number Of
investments in the reality of this city,
buying much valuable property, arrived
in the city again yesterday. Mr.. Lloyd
has not been in Wichita for nearly three
years He has just returned from long
and extended tour of Europe. During
three years he says he has read the EAGLE
quite regularly, and from what he knows
has concluded that never in her past his
tory was there a more opportune time to
invest money in Wichita than today. Mr..
Lloyd says that he is ready to do some
building and with that idea in view he
has, after resting up, come down to look
the ground over. and that if he should
conclude to go into building operations he
will spend the winter in Wichita.

KANSAS STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

The Kansas State Teachers association
meets in Topeka this year on December
25th. 26, and 9th. 1t is the twenty-seventh
annual meeting and promises to be very
important gathering. The following are
the officers of the association:
President. j. n. Wilkinson, Emporia;
vice president, Ii. A. Goblin, Baldwin;
secretary, J. w. Ferguson, Kansas City;
treasurer, j. H. Hays. Winfield. The
directors are: Geo. W. Winans, president;
d. S. Pence, secretary; w. NJ. Davidson,
Geo. Z. Ryan. j. n. Wilkinson.
All railroads in Kansas will. on Deem
Der "A and %, sell tickets at the rate of one
fare for the round trip. These tickets are
good returning as late as January 8.
Roads running into Topeka will sell
tickets through to that point from all
their stations in Kansas, without making
the 200 mile limit, which was enforced last
year Tickets covering the whole journey
to Topeka must be bought on one of these
dates, even though they are not to be need
till the Goth or 9th. This suggestion ap-
plies also to buying tickets at junction
points, where passengers change to another
road

OUT AT THE STOCK YARDS.
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING OF THE
MEMBERS OF THE STOCK
EXCHANGE.
The st. Louis Bylaws Adopted by q
Unanimous Vote--Some Facts About
Wichita's Future as Stock Mar
ket--Oficers Elected by
the Exchange.

For some time past the members of the
Live Stock Exchange have been making
efforts to adopt a constitution and by laws
for the government of the exchange and
for systematizing business, and placing 1t
on regular business basis. At the first
call but few of the members were pres
emit at the meeting on account of other
business, and the meeting adjourned and
another call was made Yesterday afternoon
at o'clock, when nearly all the members
of the exchange were present. Mr.. NJ. C.
Voris was elected secretary, vice A. c.
Runyon, resigned, and Dennis Bryan, Geo.
Dold, w. r. Dulaney, T. c. Redman and
r. I. Bean were elected as board of di-
rec5ors for the ensuing year. After the
organization was completed the constitu-
ton and bylaws of the St. Louis Stock
exchange were adopted. 1t was a very
enthusiastic meeting. and will form the
ground work for the advancement of
Wichita's stock interests as we'll as for the
benefit of the members of the exchange.
1t is also formed on basis that will be
lasting, as the members have commenced
the work in a business like manner, for
they can now see nothing but success in
the development of our stock interests.
Stock traders throughout southwestern
Kansas already recognize Wichita as their
most available market. They can ship
stock here and dispose of it almost at
Kansas City prices and return home the
same day, saving both time and money in
the transaction. Only few days since
one of the leading shippers of this section,
MIR. Dobbs, of Arkansas City, came to this
market with car load of sixty-nve hogs
averaging 325 pounds each. The entire
cost of placing them on this market was
only fraction over S2S, while the cost of
going on to Kansas City would have been
S545l. Mr.. Dobbs placed the difference,
SIG 81 ON single car of stock, in his pocket
and returned home on the evening train.
The above statement has heretofore been
given in our market reports and is merely
referred to here as an illustration to dem
onstrate the fact that the Wichita stock
market is every day receiving new
customers, and the very best men
in the country who have heretofore
been dealing at Kansas City. The
packers are also going around with broad
smiles on their faces, for they are daily in
creaslng their orders and have commenced
of the country by car load lots. And in
this connection it must be remembered
that this is Wichita's first year in the meat
packing business, and now near its close
the figures from the books will show that
she has in one year secured the amount Of
that it required other trade centers five
years to build up. This Is due to the fact
that we are located in the very heart of
the best agricultural section of the coun-
try with reduced freight rates and ample
railway facilities for the shipment of
stock

Very truly, HARDY SOLOMON.
The foregoing letter needs no explana-
ton, but it furnishes text for good SER
mon if we had time to write it. The first
thought that strikes US is one of thanks to
the mayor and citizens Of Pittsburg for
this second evidence of their interest in
our city The secondly" Pittsburg must
be made of the right kind of stuff sup
ported by the right kind of men. and that
Pittsburg by these tokens is bound with
her innumerable advantages to become
one CT the greatest, most prosperous and
wealthy cities of Kansas. The thirdly"
is that these contributions from q city two
hundred miles away constitute a very
loud hint to Wichita as to what
the people of Pittsburg think is Wichita's
duty to herself in the presence of so i'm
portant matter. And ''fourthly" and
lastly, that Hardy Solomon. with his He
brew name and Jewish nationality is none
the less a christian in his impulses and his
Judgment as to what is the proper thing to
do in this Young Mems Christian associa-
ton enterprise. From Moses who built
the Tabernacle to Solomon who built the
Temple, or from Abraham the father OF
the Jewish race down to that morning
whose light revealed the infant Christ, the
only christians of the world were Jews
whose patriarchs prophets and teachers held
firmly to the Young Men, who by precept
and example were taught that they, the
Young Men, being right the rest OF the
world per force would have to be. Christ
as young man gathered about himself
young men and as young
man taught in addition to
the old Jewish doctrines of
DUTY" and "Deity" also Destiny" So
Hardy Solomon. the Jew, comes not with
out authorization teaching by example the
Christian his duty. Apd ne has the thanks
of that association of young men whose
cause he would thus stimulate.
And what was true of the times and
people who were so signally blessed with
the birth of Jewish teacher whose div
unity revealed that at the end of Duty
through Deity there was Destiny, or in
other words Immortality, is just as true
today. A home. community. state, a
nation, ID just what the young
men of these are. In the young
men are found the inspirations OF
all the ages. AS old men they may
sustain the genius and triumphs OF the
young men, but and yet the hope OF the
world is in its young men.
And this brings us down to the benedic-
tion and amen, which are, rush those sub
scriptions and finish up 'Wichita's Pride"
