INCREASE IN BUSINESS.

The Western Union shows for the month
of May business amounting to over 80 per
cent more than for the corresponding
month last year As noticed the increase
comes from all branches Of business, but
the greatest business is local. The sur
rounding towns and the south must have
more to do with Wichita than ever before.
The jobbing houses use the wires more in
comforting with the trade, also the rapid
growth of the live stock market has built
up the local business wonderfully.
This may be taken as a fair index of the
business of the city. Possibly it would be
one of the most reliable sources for infor-
nation to form comparative estimate of
the business in the city that could be found
anywhere. AS estimated by many there
could be no more encouraging feature for
Wichita than to observe the wonderful in
crease in local business. 1t is credited
with meaning that Wichita is simply in
creasing in business in the jobbing and
manufacturing lines and this is meeting
the demand for a distributing center and
hence is increasing as a city.

THE PAYING CONTRACT.
A Special Meeting of the Council Probable Il
Consider the Street Railway Paving.

There was considerable discussion yes
terday about the question of paving the
! street railway space on Main street and
Douglass avenue, The council at its last
meeting awarded the contract by unani-
nous vote to Mulvane 6, Kepley to use Fit.
Collins sand stone The contract calls for
about seventeen thousand squire yards of
paving and according to Mr.. Davidson,
president of the Electric railway company,
/ about ten thousand yards will
be paid for the by the company and
seven thousand by the property
owners. He says that jasperite, in his
judgment, would be much better than the
sand stone and would cost no more and the
company having TO pay for ten-seven-
teenths of the contracts, he thinks the
council should to some extent consider the
wishes of the company and the arguments
to be presented. He thinks that with sand
stone blocks for pavement. the ties being
placed on the ground and reached by water
would be moved by the heavy motors
passing over them. In time the
track would be spread and the paw
ing would be taken up and track
repaired, causing not only a constant eX-
pCA1SC " CuO NOLlOdAg OuI III pdiA IAC SCA-
vice of the city and result in keeping paw
ing repairs continually going on in the
city. He estimates that with the jaSperite
a concrete base could be put down upon
which the ties would be placed, making an
absolutely solid foundation. The concrete
would also be filled in between the ties
and upon this the jasperite, making uni
form street and giving a chance for rail-
way track that would be solid for fOur
or five years. When it became defective
the Jasperite blocks could be removed,
and new ties put down and paving blocks
put back at little cost.
Mr.. Davidson has insisted and the mayor
given an opportunity for hearing on the
question before he signed the contract. 1t
is though probably a special meeting of
the council will be held today to consider
the question. Some of the mem bers of the
council suggest that petitions be solicited
from the property owners to get an ex-
preston from that source. 1t would be
difficult to estimate until action will be
taken.

copies of their premium lists of the dis
trict fair As has been stated, this work
viii be one of the most complete of its
kind, n 5 inches, $50 pages, with Iitho-
graphed cover. 1t is the intention to dis

ties of the district not later than the sec
ond week in July, thus giving an oppor-
tunity for all to prepare themselves for
the event of 1890.
The Chicago Horseman, in its issue of
May %, has the following to say about the
Wichita meeting: The Southern Kansas
Fair association wants all of the fast har-
ness performers, young and old, at its
meeting, and at the present moment it
looks as if their stables would shelter the
majority of them the first week in Oc-
tober.
Arrangements have been perfected and
the work of remodeling the grounds will
be commenced at once The art hall viii
be rebuilt and other buildings erected at
once. Many private buildings Will be con-
structed for exhibits of individual firms
and it is presumed that much OF the space
which has heretofore been unused will be
utilized and made very attractive by the
exhibitors
1t is the intention of the secretary to re-
serve the grove for picnic parties or fami-
les who may wish TO enjoy themselves
away from the moving crowds and where,
at luncheon time they may enjoy them
selves without mOleStaJion.
The U~;al,sr, E'lac--.o
