A hospital. as the name implies, should
be place where the virtue of hospitality
can find expression OF course it is under
stood that this hopitality is intended for
certain class, namely, the i'll and
afflicted. But the facts are that the III
and affection of the wealthy do not need
special provision. 1t is the stranger and
the poor man who needs this provision
Therefore anything that stands IN the way
of making the best possible provision Tor
the greatest number of sufferers is to be
regretted and removed Among the evil
dent drawbacks or hinderences for efficient
hospital provision in any city may be
counted lack of friends and hearty coop
Grafton and interest of enough citizens TO
offer help wherever it is needed and ele-
vate the actual work of caring for the pa
tients into respected and responsible en-
ployment To become trained nurse for
the sick is morally nobler than to endow
bed Both are good, however, and in this
as in all truly philanthropic work, there is
place and duty for everybody. a good
hospital in this city wants what all great
institutions need. men and money.
Now it does not appear to me at all rash
to assert that we can have both if we will
consolidate. Just how far consolidation
can be brought about am perhaps poor
person to say. But as the head of a body
of Christian people in this town l will
pledge my support and that of some if not
all of my Pensioners. Where there are
three hospitals | believe there should be
only one There may be conditions of
responsibility which make it right for diff
ferent churches to provide for the sick I'M
der their own auspices. But such re-
sponsibilities usually bring with them the
means to support the institution indie
pendently. But it is not evident that any
church in Wichita has any such response
bility. And the principle of unity which
is here indicated for the churches applies
also TO the schools of medicine. If then
the churches don't care for separate
hospitals, nor the physicians, who does
and why? May the power of union pre-

WICHITA WINS AGAIN.
ANOTHER GREAT JOBBING CONCERN
COMING.
The Leases Signed by an Eastern Firm
for the Miller Building for
Term of Years.

The wholesale trade, unlike the retail
trade, is of slow growth. The retailer
follows with his store the customer wher-
ever he may go but the wholesaler pulls
his customer back to him as long as pos
sible and only moves when the new base
for Operations has been so well defined as
to render its permaneney beyond all ques-
ton. Many have wondered why Wichita
with her advantages Of central location, of
freight rates and her superior facilities
generally, didn't pull big per cent of the
st. Joseph and Kansas City jobbers down
here at once. The truth is WichiUa's
future jobbing concerns will not come
from these points in any numbers no more
than did those that are here already, and
for obvious reasons. AS remarked by
prominent st. Joseph jobber last week
while in his city: "Wichita's future
as jobbing center is deter
mined beyond per adventure, but that fact
ought not to lead Wichita to expect all
the concerns in the west to locate here at
once as they will not, even with branch
houses uni il they are compelled to by the
jobbers, whom you will acquire from the
old centers and by those who will grow up
from your own retail trade" adding IN
the same connection, "Wichita's present
wholesale trade is not only wonderfully
healthy, but more diversified than could
be reasonably expected, in a city 50 young
or country so new"
A few weeks since the president and
head of an eastern wholesale grocery house
visited Wichita He said nothing to any
one as to his business, but he spent a week
in the city looking at it from every stand
point He estimated the aggregate
yaIue of the OUTPUT of all
our manufacturing concerns, figured
up railway connections and rates, etc,
etc, took up the business Of our jobbers,
and packing houses, and stock yards, etc.
The day before he left ne called upon A.
+. Helm, Esq, and told him to secure a
lease on the Miller building on Water
street for term OF ten or twelve years on
the best terms possible. This building Is
fifty feet front. three stories high. with
basement, and is reached by track from
the Missouri Pacific railway. He eau
toned Mr. Helm to say nothing about the
matter until the lease was secured. Mr..
II. Immediately entered into negotiations
with Mr. Miller and in few days had
the satisfaction of nothing his principal
of fattering success. The terms We're
accepted, and yesterday Mr.. H. showed us
a letter from the gentleman, who says that
all was entirely satisfactory and that in
the very near future, or as soon as it Is
poesible to ship the goods, his firm will
open up an additional wholesale grocery
house in Wichita.
Mr.. II. assures us that the firm IS a
strong one one of experience, and that
they are not unacquainted with the trade
Of this section. Our recollection is that
the letter fixes the first of October as the
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1890-08-03

date of opening; at least it will be as soon
as the building could be got ready and the
goods transferred.
OF course this new firm will
Jump right into big bust
ness, as have all the jobbing houses
locating in Wichita heretofore. Competi-
ton from Kansas City, st. Joseph or else
where, is not dreaded or feared by Wichita
iobbers The advantages of position, OF
time. of freight rates and transportation
facilities are all here in so marked a way
that they have never seriously felt either
Missouri or Mississippi river competition.
So the card of another great jobbing con-
Germ is to be added to the list of wholesale
houses and manufactures carried on an
other page of the EAGLE, an examination
of which list will convince anybody that
Wichita is already jobbing center of no
small pretentions.

PROVIDENCE WELLS.

Quite number of parties have been Wis

bed ofthe hard subsoil TO receive and hold
the water. This process increased the
yield of wheat five bushels per acre over
that adjoining treated exactly the same ex-
cept the subsoil blowing. | expect 10 re-
ceive similar benefits for other crops and
one subsoil blowing will be good for sew
eral years.
My best wheat was upon a piece that
was summer fallowed, after the old fash
toned way. No crop was sown in the
spring. but the ground was plowed when
the weeds had got good start and no
weeds allowed to mature. Two plowlngs
sufficed and the wheat was sewn the same
as the rest of the field The result was
thirty-five bushels TO the acre, while the
other part of the field yielded only twenty.
Experiments like these prove something,
and that is we have only TO adopt the cul-
tivation and seed 70 the climate and no
failure will ever occur. The possibilities
of our soil cannot be measured.
