Pay a Short Visit-Entertained by the

siOnS Obtained.

citation en- route for Galveston paid Wichita
a visit yesterday and the members ex-
pressed themselves as amply rewarded for
their lay over. The party arrived on the
Santa Re at 40 and were met by a com
mittee of citizens, appointed by the board
OF trade. After breakfast they were driven
to the packing houses, car works and other
points of interest. On the return they
were given glimpse OF the city and shown
as much of it as was practicable in the
short space of time at their disposal.
At II O'Clock they all assembled in the
| board Of trade rooms where Mayor Glenn
ent being introduced by President Rouse
OF the board of trade, delivered an address
of welcome. He spoke briefly of many
portions of the city the party had not
been enabled to see and referred
IN modest way to the phenomenal growth
| of Wichita in the last few years. AS his
! listeners were newspaper men they were
quite able to appreciate the rapid advance
ment evident on every hand, and were no
ways slow to express their admiration.
The speaker further stated that the pres
ent prosperity of Wichita had been pur-
chased, like every success, with brains, en-
| terpriSe and hard work, and that the peO-
pie Of Wichita had plenty more just such
capital on hand. In both word and man.
ner hearty welcome was extended to the
| eXcursionists, who, one and all, seemed to
be glad they had come.
The Hon. A. T. Riddle, of Minneapolis,
! Ottawa county, ex-lieutenant governor,
responded briefly, in substance as follows:
Il have on diverse and sundry occasions
/ hot
| tia, and been received with open arms; it
| is not only noted therefore as the windy
wonder, but as the most hospitable of all
! the hospitable cities in the state. Wichita
| has faculty it would do well for many
other cities to initiate, that Of making peO-
| pie like them, and it emanated from open
hearted hberality. That spirit that did
not pass its time in fault finding, or tear
ing down under wrong impression that
it was the way to build up, but they were
broad guaged; as ready TO give as to take,
and If possessed of a fault, it was the eX-
IRENE of their hospitality, which made
them enemies among the cities the spirit
of whose citizens was mixed somewhat
with the element that clOgs-parsimony.
Wichita is an ornament to Kansas, and no
one has as great belief in Kansas as its
newspaper men. Their faith is rock rib
bed and as bOundless as its prairies. This
has been the greatest factor and in its
mighty achievements as 81 state, NO news
paper man ever became discouraged, even
if there was a failure. They always be-
lieve that everything will come out all
right in the spring. The city's guests to-
day represented this element, they would
return all well pleased with their recep-
ton here, and if like me, with a faith in
Wichita as matter of state pride, allied
to the state and as inseparable. We are
not talking people, especially on this oc-
casiOn; we are out on lark, we have all
worked pretty hard for year and are en-
titled to a recess once a year, which we are
now in process of taking"
Our location being remote in so large
state as Kansas, we are not in the habit of
making weekly visits to Wichita. but as a
factor we can not be ignored by Wichita
because not in the district called southern
Kansas. Many among those of US here to-
day are for the first time seeing the city
they have heard so much about, and being
among them, can say that the absorbing
interest among them since we started out
was conferred in their desire to visit Wich
tia" He hoped that at their departure
the same would not be said of them that
was officially said of the Kansas Legislature,
1--WE are glad they have left us"
After the speech making they passed the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That as Kansans we are proud
Of the wonderful city of Wichita, of her
many fine churches, of her splendid public
school buildings, her factories, her beauti-
full residences, Of the pnbliC spiritedness of
her citizens; and we extend our thanks to
the mayor, the president of the board of
trade, reception committee, and to the citi-
Zens in general Tor the cOurtesleS extended
to us during our short but delightful visit
Our sincere desire is that her future de-
velopment may be as rapid as in the past.
