BIG MEETING ASSURED.
Fifty-two Counties Selected Delegations TO At
tend the State Immigration Society
Meeting.

The committee having the immigration
Society meeting in hand is very much en-
couraged over the prospects. At first it
was not certain that much interest would
be taken throughout the state but the
facts could not be known without making
an attempt. Every day the secretary re-
ceives letters in answer TO the circular re-
questing delegations 70 be ID attendance
The canvass in thirty-eight counties show
that meetings have been held and delega-
tons elected to come TO the meeting to be
held here on the 18th inst. The delega-
tons as rule are large and the informa-
ton is such as TO show that decided in
terest and Importance is being attached TO
the meeting. In addition TO the thirty
eight counties which held public meetings
and selected delegations, fifteen counties
so far have been heard from in which dele
gates have been selected By the county
commissi 1ners and will be in attendance.
This makes hfty-two counties in which
delegations have been selected TO attend
the organization meeting 1t is believed
this number viii be greatly increased pos
sibly reaching ninety counties by the
last of the week and next Monday nine

Nothing is known as 10 the organization
or what will be done. The convention, or
whatever it may be called, viii no doubt
organize and adopt some plan OF action
which will be adjudged most foreible in
inducing some of the people coming west
to locate in Kansas. 1t is conceded that
the eastern states are crowded as badly as
ever and that the advantages in the west
over the east are just as many and potent
as ever; il Is also said there are as many
people coming west from the eastern states
as ever, but it is the opinion of some that
Kansas is not getting as large per cent of
the emigration as formerly. That Ne
braska and Texas with certainly no better
inducements or fattering promises than
Kansas, ara being filed up quite rapidly,
and it is believed this condition of thingsis
due 10 lack of information east concern
ing Kansas. Some of those who have been
instrumental in taking the initial steps toA
wards the formation OF an immigration
society are of the opinion that the society
in an emphatic way should not hesitate TO
proceed as rapidly as possible to give the
state substantial advertisement in the old
err states and give them some facts which
will bring about a change in the stopping
place for western immigration,

vITRrFIED BRICK.
Location Of Brick Plant Being Considered
Probable Cost Of same.

Tie paving contract awarded j. ". Ri
| ley 6 Co. calls for over 10 600 square yards.
Ihls OF itself TO the company coutemplat-
ing putting in vitrifed brick
plant IS not enough to warrant the expen-
diture for plant as large as the company
could afford TO put up for a contract call
ing for $1,000 or 10000 yards. One Of the
gentlemen interested in the matter stated
yesterday: You see we would like to put
in plant that would be one of the finest
n the west; to cost absolutely not less
than S35. goo. This would be good plant.
We would have machinery that would
turn out 5000 brick an hour, or in
ten hours, an average days work, We
would have so, COO brick. But the present
contract, in and Of itself. does not call for
such an expenditure, but we believe that
we will be able to make fine brick, that
the public will so decide, and in this event
we will be able to do more paving in the
city with brick OF course we would ike
to have much larger plant, but person
ally have little fear but that it will be
wise TO go ahead and put in a large plant
and take the chances on doing much of the
city work don't know how the gentle
men interested in the enterprise outside
the city will feel about it. On this point
directly l have not had word from them
for some days but expect this matter to
be settled in few days. While we have
three months in which TO get ready
am certain this time will slip away quite
rapidly and in the absence of good luck
and lots of it we may not be able TO get
ready for business before the expiration Of
that time
I'VE have" he continued, 'three very
good clays and at present the location mat
ter is receiving attention. We have Sc
cured clay on the Missouri Pacific with
in two miles OF the north line of the city,
also one on the Midland not far above the
north limits and also hate a clay south.
The railroad rates will settle the question.
The road that gives the best rates to the
city and the best yard facilities Will no
doubt get the plant and we viii give few
days for figuring on the question. think
we will get reasonable terms"
The gentleman said machinery would be
ordered this week and he expected little
delay from this source.

1T WONT COST MUCH.

There are many poor people in Wichita
as well as elsewhere aud many Of these
have too much pride TO accept direct
assistance although at times they stand in
sore need of it. Recently an old lady de-
pendent upon her own resources completed
a very warm and elegantly worked quilt.
She was anxious 10 sell it but could not
conveniently find purchaser as nearly all
OF her friends were as poor as herself.
Mrs. w G. Mcconnell took the quilt and
ratified it realizing handsome price for it.
Since that Mrs. Mcconnell has been be-
siged by everybody who has anything 20
dispose OF but she says that her commits
sions are so small that she cannot afford
20 do the work except in cases where it is
absolutely an act of charity. On Monday
Mrs. Mcconnell viii be around with an
other quilt asking her friends TO buy a
ticket at a mere nominal sum il order TO
put few dollars in the pocket CT . lady
with TWO little children VITO are nearly
destitute.

OUR KANSAS HOME.

| The following poem was read by the
composer. Miss Nellie NJ. Amidon, AT the
meeting of the Ohio society Tuesday even
ing, January:
| We are Clan Ohio Kansans proud,
| For doubly blest are we
| Blessed in the land that gave us birth,
| Broad land of our nativity.
And proud of our adopted state,
Fair Kansas of the plains,
| May we meier regret to share her fate,
| Her losses and her gains.
Aye. "Clan Ohio Kansansn proud,
None prouder on earth than we,
| Well sing Ohio long and long,
| Blessed land Of our nativity.
The Buckeye state, polished so we'll,
No lovelier place on earth,
| Ohio, by name, "the beautiful"
And wisdom proves its worth.
True, thoughts of home and friends bersft,
To each heart brings tie tear.
But we're met, lot TO talk OF treasures
left,
But OF those we are gaining here.
The Buckeye" bright and firm and
sound,
Our emblem still we claim,
Yet Kansas honors high resound
As at the stars we aim.
We read how bindings when they have
grown
Too large for the parents care,
VIII learn fight By their elders long
known,
While they mourn for the vacancy there.
And oft to US mortals these longings ap-
pear
As the soul and the mind become great,
Not that our homes ever grow the less
dear,
But we yearned for wider fate.
Genius and merit here may skim
To heights that dreamers know,
While business talent, tact and vim
Shall plough the depths below.
The very sweep of the wind doth say,
Look out, look above, look around,
Improve but your chances each hour and
day,
And success to your hopes shall re-
spond,n
For broad and free as the wind.
Jnshackled, untrammeled and pure,
4 world widens out IN each mind,
And the noblest OF feelings allure.
The sun, with it's mornings soft rays,
And its blazing splendor at noon,
By its constancy strict doth appraise
The Great West" of its God given boon.
Does it rain in this broad land of ours,
Then it comes in a rushing sheet,
And sea of waters from heaven outpours,
And flows at our very feet
The lightning is fiercer, the wind is more
strong,
And brighter the sunshine seems here;
The evenings are cooler, the winters more
warm,
The stars seem more sparkling, the
nights more clear.
And all things around US seem brightest
and best,
From the rest of the land set apart,
All nature combines to make of the west,
A paradise just to her heart.
And we mortals that dwell here, must
surely respond
To the quickened emotions that start.
And give Us assurance of something be-
You'd,
And above, in which we'll have part.
Each must haste to the work that is wait
ing for him,
There are thousands of things that do,
And though they seem lost in the crowd
and the din,
Let's push through that crowd. clear
way through.
And right there in front, ahead of the rest,
We surely will see much to do,
Then success will return, and our works
shall attest,
We have the Kansas fever anew.
All honor to Kansans who early allied,
Their fortunes with pioneers claim,
Right nobly they lived, most nobly they
died,
No whit would we take from their fame.
But to the kansans of today,
No less shall honors come,
And being one of them, we say,
God save and bless our Kansas home"
