THE PUBLIC WORKS.
The People Employed on Out Door Jobs and
How They are Prospecting.

All of Wichita great public improve
ments have continued to move along
almost uninterupedy up to date. The
fall months are not only gone but nearly
half of the winter is gone and there has
hardly been a day in which bricklaying,
etc., have not gone right along. The prin-
cipal mains of the sewer system have been
going steadily forward and the guttering
and curling contracts are up on Market,
Main and Douglas avenue. The founda-
ton for the government building was
completed weeks ago and the main edifce
will soon be rising. The iron girders and
the joists of the lower floors of the court
house are all in and the smooth cut stone
walls are growing all around, and the
inside brick walls and backings going
steadily in without any halt save during
the holidays. The brick block on the
corner of Main and Elm is being pushed
by great number of masons. The brick
blocks on Topeka and Oak are being fin
ished, and the wholesale house of Captain
Bruuk is being pushed rapidly. The work
on Whittaker's immense packing plant
has been rushed from the day the first
spadefull of dirt was thrown. This pack
ing house will cover more ground than
any plant of the kind in the west, if not in
America. 1t is simply a great mammoth
establishment, the floors of which will
cover acres and acres of space. Hundreds
of carloads of stone and brick and lumber,
necessary for the construction of the va
rious buildings, are being rapidly deliver
ed and Superintendent Thomas has his
hands full.

SWEDISH REUNION.

At Mrs Henry Strabels', PIG South To-
peka avenue, last night, was held the first
social reunion of the Swedish portion OF
the Wichita population, people noted for
their industry and strictly moral charac-
ter. 4 feast was spread Of all the season s
delicacies and the guests showed their APP
probation by partaking heartily. After
supper the time was very agreeably passed
in each one giving their experience since
leaving the dear old fatherland, the gen
tlemen made speeches and the ladies sung
songs The Swede was The only language
used, so that those present could imagine
themselves back in the land of their birth
were it not for the cruel awakening when
the hour of parting and bidding ava was
announced by the dawn's early light peep

THE TELEPHONE SERVICE.

Mr. c. c. Allen, manager of the tele-
phone business of this city, has succeeded
in getting the company to give telephone
service to residences for SD per year, re-
duction of IS. This is lower residence
service than any other city in the state.
The charges for service at business estab-
lishments is allowed to remain the same.
And by the way it may be OF interest to
refer to the fact just here that the bust
ness houses OF the city call for more
boxes than The business establishments of
any other city in the state. There are
seyenty-two residences supplied with the
service and three hundred and eight
places of business with some more orders
that will be filed in due time. There are
more telephones IN one city in the state
than in Wichita but the business interests
of the same city call for nearly one hun
bred less phones than Wichita. Remem-
bering this ia CT a gentleman stated yes
terday that it was but natural that it
should be true. 1t was more than probable
that the city doing the most business
would call Tor a greater number of tele-

A CHICAGO CAPITALIST LOOKING wICH.
TIA OVER.

Mr.. J. s. j. Miller, capitalist OF Chi
caSo. and father of W. L. W Miller, the
fire insurance agent of this city, called yes
terday. Mr. NJ said that he was visiting
this city at this time solely and for the un-
disguised purpose OF determining in his
own mind whether the claims made for it
were well made, and that ii he should
reach an affirmative conclusion he would
transfer his interests here at an early date,
probably in the very near future. He had
been looking over the other points in south
western Kansas, but that the few days he
had spent here had well nigh convinced
him that there was tut one future for
Wichita, and that a great one. So far as
the Indian territory is concerned and its
coming great trade, there was no possible
rival % Wichita except Kansas City. Not
yet knowing the financial bottom, not bat
little OF Nichita's enterprise, he was not
prepared To give an opinion as TO the result
of the cantest which must inevitably come
up between Kansas City and Wichita, but
that IL ought to be plain to every man tia.
in location Wichita held aight out OF ten
of the real advantages

A ROARING WELL.
Is 1t Gas, or Wind, or What.

Mr. Joshua Edwards, who owns farm
in the northwest corner of Butler county,
one and half miles from Elbing. north OF
this city, on the Rock Island road, in sec
ton six, Paramount township, and who
was in the city yesterday, relates story
which seems in some of its phases little
hard of belief. His farm is il the highest
part of Butler county on the high divide
between the head waters of the Walnut
and Doyle creek, where water is scarce,
especially SO in dry years. His wells hav-
ing failed, he some time ago procured a
six inch drill and set to work with the de-
termination to go down through the stone
formations to such depth as would insure
him regular living supply of water for
culinary purposes. Last Tuesday morn
ing at a depth of sixty-six feet he struck,
he says, current iof something that
he thinks must be gas, or something
of that nature. which rushed up
and out with terrific violence
and roar that could be heard for quar-
ter or half mile. He was compelled to
suspend work and wait for the phenome-
non to blow itself out. But it fails to do
it, That is, it keeps blowing out with an
apparent tremendous volume tn6t pro-
duces roar that can be heard at long
distance. He was advised last evening to
go home and try the application of little
blaze of fire. In answer to that he said
that a neighbor north of him, in sinking
well some time since, struck vein of es-
Gaping gas which burned quite freely, but
there was no noise to its escape. We have
given name exact location and facts as
furnished, but venture nothing further.
Our informant, merchant in this city,
who was transacting some business with
Edwards, says that he is evidently a very
ignorant man. The board of trade might
send up its mining and gas committee to
investigate

ADJUSTMENTS
CRAWFORD.

CRAWFORD.
Last night Mr.. Timer scored a decided
success as General Josiah Timber in ''Fol
Congress" He kept his audience in the
very best OF humor from first to last with
his clever portrayal of the tricks and arti.
fees of the not over scrupulous American
politician. Persons who have seen Mr.
Raymond in the same character say thai
Mr.. Timer plays the character equally as
we'll as he. Miss Timers Anna Wooley
was very good yet the requirements of the
part were not such as to display her abili-
ties to the best advantage. Mike, the SER
want, was well done by Mr.. German, as
was also both Peter Wooley, by Mr.. Clark
and Pelham Periwikle, by Mr.. Pierson
Mr. Timer and his company may be as
sured of rousing welcome should they
return to Wichita.
Hazel's performance tonight at the Gar
field opera house will certainly be nov
city. Besides the many marvellous feats
that he does in mind reading he fully
demonstrates the various methods OF
spiritualistic phenomena used by such
mediums as Slade, Cook, Arnold, Bald
Win, w dlhluS. 11Ou1ldA dnQ ludl
others.
Every possible means will be used to en-
lighted the auditors as to whether these
so-called wonders are enacted through the
aid of spirits or are the result of natural
agencies.
Regarding his performance is appended
the following extract:
Whitney's was packed last night to see
Hazel. His theories regarding
spiritualism will find great weight among
many who heard him, etc.
The sale Of seats has been large and
there is every indication that the house
will be crowded.
CAMILLA URSO.
The leading musical event Of the week
will be the appearance tomorrow night of
Nine Camilla Urso at the Crawford
Grand. The program, in which she will
be assisted by prominent musicians, has
already been published in the EAGLE OF
her the New York Commercial Advertiser,
January 90, 1883, said: The chief attrac-
ton Of yesterdays public rehearsal of Mr..
Thomas six symphony concert was again
Madame Camilla Urso, who had selected
Mendelssohn's violin concerto for this &C.
casion. which she played with her usual
brilliant execution and highly poetical in
depreciation. Since her return to New
York Madame Urso has played three COM
positions as distinctly different from each
other as they possibly can be-Rubinstein' S
great, thoroughly characteristic concerto;
Beethoyen's concerto, one of the compost
tions which mark the acme of the classical
school, and yesterday Mendeisshon's con-
ception. one or the choicest flowers OF the
romantic period. Each OF these remarks
BILE works Camilla Urso has rendered with
admirable conception of the composers
intentions, and yet with an amount of in
dividuality that made every bar she played
interesting"
