Second street depot with the entrance on
First street. The cars will be open TO the
public next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day from $50 a. m to 8 p. Ii. each day.
California on Wheels is nothing more
or less than rolling fair from the golden
state in an elegant vestibule train of three
handsome coaches. One coach is filled
with thousands of bottles of wines for
which California has become noted. An
other coach is full of luscious fruits and
mammoth vegetables. Among the eX-
hibits which may be considered notable in
Wichita, either on account or their
size or their rarity of production,
here are: Peaches fifteen inches in cir
cumference; pears twenty inches IN cir
conference and weighing nearly six
pounds each; persimnions twelve inches in
circumference; sweet potatoes weighing
twenty-four pounds each; silk, cotton, to-
bacco, orange, dates, bananas, olives and
India rubber tree-all grown in California
as articles OF commercial value and not as
hot house curiositieS.

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

The residence ofAlderman SchnitZler on
the corner of Riverview and Central, was
brilliantly Illuminated last evening and it
was evident to a casual passer-by that
something of more than usual interest was
going on within the hospitable doors. IU
was "a family reunion in honor of Mrs.
Schnitzler's birthday, and it was a merry
time for all present. The affair had been
managed by the children in such way
that it was complete surprise. During
the week Mrs. SchnitZer had several times
suggested the idea Of having little party
Oh account Of her birthday, but every mem
Der of the family had discouraged her, for
a purpose, until she was inclined to feel
just little bit hurt. In the afternoon
Mrs. knoblauch invited her to come to her
house to tea, and when she returned home
at half past eight she found the entire
house lighted up and all the members of
the family present.
Master Willie first presented his mother
with fancy towel roller, and then Miss
Dcllie made her gift of "a handsome tidy.
A birthday cake, beautifully decorated,
was there from Mrs. Petry and Mrs. Hen
ry Schnitzler presented her with black
satin hand bag, deliberately trimmed and
hand painted. Mrs. Graves and Mrs. Eek
stein each sent pot of byacinths in bloom.
Then an ice water set completed the list of
presents, which bore card with the
names of the donors. as follows Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Schnitzler. Mr.. and Mrs. Otto
Kopplin and Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Knob
LAUGH. The pitcher was of heavy and fam
cifully cut glass, surrounded by six glasses
to match, and the whole supported by a
solid silver stand Of magnificent design
and Workmanship.
The gifts in themselves were valuable
but the fact that they were given as tokens
of love and affection makes them of in
value to the recipient. The
party then sat down to supper, which had
been prearranged by the children,
And merry the feast and long
After supper was over the evening was
wiled away in variety of amusements.
So MANY pleasant little incidents were
into the one evening that it will
take Mrs. SchnitZler some time to fully re-
alize the extent of her happiness and the
recollection of this occasion will be
cherished in her memory all through life
and may she live to celebrate forty more
BIRTHDAYS.

SAINT VALENTINES DAY.

The unusual number of people turning
west on First street last night was the
subject of comment by the bystanders;
They were all going Co the post office and
some had letters in large envelopes and
others had neat little packages wrapped
in white paper and addressed in their best
hand. 1t is safe to say the carriers will
have an unusually large local mail this
morning and doubtless a hand cart will
come in handy,
st. Valentine day has its observers,
and judging from the numbers the old
gentleman is as popular as ever. Il Is i
great day for the baShful young man aud
affords him an opportunity to
give his lady love taffy enough for the en-
tire year and she has not the faiutest idea
who her valentine is; not she. One may
know that eFery innocent looking young
man on the streets today has been guilty
OF covertly sending his love TO some young
lady. The original idea of the day was
that the young ladies should have an op-
portunity to select valentine for the
coming year The girls would like to have
this idea preserved and have solemnly
promised not To be the least bit offended
even if the wrong young man Is the first to
put in an appearance and claim 70 be her
valentine The pretty sentiments on the
valentine would have double the weight
spoken,

THE WICHITA LIBRARY.

TO the Editor of the Eagle.
While the men of Wichita are laying the
foundation on broad basis of all the ma
terial interests of a first class city, the wo-
men of Wichita are also efficiently manag-
ing those affairs looking to the moral and
spiritual uplifting Of the people. Among
these factors for good is the library-uow
numbering some 800 volumes-suited to
all tastes. Here students from all parts
of the county come to consult its works OF
reference, and scores of the youth Of our
city have wiled away hour after hour
among the volumes of fiction. These
books have been selected by a committee
of fine literary taste and the worn condi-
ton of a large number give evidence that
they have been greatly enjoyed.
This is the only circulating library IN
our city and is open for exchange of books
every day, Sunday excepted, from a. m.
to o. m, the very small fee of 81 per year
being charged for membership. In No
vemner twenty-four volumes were bought
to replace some entirely worn out and
great number need TO be at
once replaced, aud a great many fresh
books to be listed for the benefit of those
who have been constant readers. A new
catalogue must be prepared as soon as the
new books are purchased and mum bered.
To accomplish all this money-yes, 500
is needed, and our brave young friend,
Master Albert Fechheimer, son of our es-
teemed townsman, has kindly consented
to try and sell 100 tickets. Now, there may
not be as much fun and frOlic guaranteed
when buying one of these tickets, but just
stop moment to think, they are good for
a year. Every member of the board of
trade, every member of the fire depart
ment, every father and mother who wish
for II good influence around their children,
every young man who wants to make u
suitable gift to his best girl, every teacher
willing to help forward good influence, it
is Hoped, Will be ready, yes, even anxious,
to aid our bright young helper to accom-
plish the purpose he has in mind
Every ticket bought helps us to sustain
library worthy of our community. for we
have now the nucleus to fine city library,
and as soon as we can arrange to put up
some kind of q suitable structure on orr
very eligible lots opposite the new post
office our library will then make fine
showing. At the present moment we have
about twenty volumes of various maya
zines-Century, Harper's, St. Nicholas,
Atlantic. North American Review, DEM
and others-waitipg to be sent to the
bindery. The income from the sale OF a
hundred tickets will at once be turned into
various channels of trade in the city.
The library committee earnestly request
the aid and cooperation of our citizens III
this matter when presented to you by
Master techheimer.

EXPRESS COMPANY IMPROVEMENTS.
All the Companies Making Arrangements for
More Room at Depots

The United States express company is
making arrangements to put up brick
building just south of the Rock Island
passenger depot for their business. Il is
thought, the company, however, may be
able to make arrangements with the Rock
Island and get room in the building used
for passenger business Or in the new
freight depot which will result in the COM
pany not being compelled to put up a
building.
The Wells, Fargo have plans completed
and contractors in the city are preparing
bids for a stone building to De located just
south of the Santa Fe passenger depot
bIilding. It will be a cubic block twenty
five feet on either side and twenty-five feet
high, built of stone. Work will commence
in few days and few weeks will fad the
building completed.
Some days ago when an official
of the Pacific express was in the city
he said he would like to see the Missouri
Pacific come to the front with q depot
building as his company would like to put
up building which would enable them 10
give the city better service.
The express company agents are making
out statements of last months business
according to the new rate sheet TO COM
pare it with the corresponding month last
year. The business this year is much bet
ter than ii. was last but OF course accord
ing to the new rate they are losing money.
