day from Salt Lake, accompanied by his
wife. who has entirely regained her health.
In a call last evening he said that he Is al
ways glad to get back to Wichita, and
that be was never more glad than this

estimates that it is a good town with a
future of no inconsiderable Importance,
but so far as prices on real estate are con
cerned that the future has been very
strongly if not too greatly discounted He
saws so far as Wichita is concerned that
with a single exception he heard nothing
but good words from western capitalists,
all of whom predict brilliant future for
the Peerless Princess, and that he himself
Is convinced that at no time in the past was
her prosperity on so sure a foundation as
at present.
