ADULTERATION.

AdulteratiOn of all products has become
so common that the general public has lost
interest in the subject. Mr.. James Gray.
of Washington, who is at present securing
statistics for the census department, is in
the city and relates some interesting facts
concerning barytes Baryta and other
compounds of this element are remarkable
for being much heavier than related earthly
salts. The barytes of commerce is min
eral found and manufactured in Germany
and is shipped into this country in large
quantities Quarries of it are also found
in Missouri and st. Louis has three large
factories putting hundreds OF tons OF. il on
the market annually. 1t costs about 81 a
ton at the factory, where II Is ground and
sold at s. a ton. The article Of commerce
when it leaves the factory Is an impalpable
powder being perfectly white and very
heavy. 1t i not at all injurious but Is
simply worthless 1t i used mainly
in adulterating pulverized sugars and
white leads The inferior paints that are
often blamed on the oil is more frequently
made inferior by the presence Of barytes-
1t is almost impossible TO detect it, and it,
presence manifests itself mainly IN the
poor lasting qualities Of paint exposed to
the weather. OF course a good deal Of it

was making a mistake but he thought diff
| ferent and went ahead with the business
| He ran the factory about year and sold
out to T. NJ. Casad and James Gillogly.
! They removed the plant to Emporia, near
First street, and resumed the business in
a thoroughly business way Mr.. Conrad
has spent years in the business at Lafay-
cite, Ind, and was quite sure he could see
a demand for the business in Wich-
tia. Mr. GillOgIy, from the great
state of Illinois reaching the city a few
months before going into the business had
enough faith in the city to think there was
business here on general principls, and not
being stingy with strength and application
to business was quite willing to join as
partner
The business which they have built up
has far exceeded their expectations. As
they expressed it yesterday they figured
they could make boxes here just as cheap
as they could be made elsewhere, and the
freight on the incoming material used in
the factory being fourth-class and on boxes
sent i'll by eastern factories double first
class, they expected to make fair profit
on the boxes made, but the only fear was
that the demand might not be enough to
call for clever business. It is the third
factory in the state, the first in Atchison
and the second in Kansas City, Kan. They
were quite certain that they would be able
to supply Wichita and surrounding towns
and shut out eastern factories but would
the demand be enough to enable them to
do a profitable business was the
only question that gives any trouble
and the only way to solve it was
to apply practical test. The business of
the first year has answered the question
more thoroughly and satisfactory than
the same time spent in theOriZing They
have made and sold over five hundred
thousand boxes and when they commenced
the business they would have been glad to
have had good guarantee for orders for
two hundred thousand boxes in the year.
The first year dispelled all doubts as TO
the demand for boxes. They found many
manufacturing and jobbing concerns in
the city who had formerly been compelled
to send east for boxes who were quite
anxious to patronize a factory in the city.
especially when to patronize a home fac
tory they could get boxes cheaper than
elsewhere and less delay in orders. The
cheap part of it, is considered the most
forcible argument which caused those
needing boxes to change their orders so
promptly.
This clever business was in response to
the demand in the city alone; excluding
most of the surrounding towns. Within

never aimed to keep any boxes ahead but
simply work on orders The rule has been
an easy one to follow for the reason that
the orders have come in about as fast as
they could be filed but very soon addi-

ture of large amount of boxes, kept in

WHAT AN EXPERIENCED MAN SAYS.

Mr.. NJ. X. Moser came down from Her
rington yesterday. Besides his vineyard
of fifty acres of bearing grapes and the big
gest apple and pear orchard in the state, he
is also into cattle and hogs, having now in
vested in the live stock business twenty or
thirty thousand dollars. Mr.. Moser says
Wichita will be his future home, and as
soon as he can arrange his affairs He
says whatever other cities in the west may
or may not amount to. that Wichita is the
coming great city. He had a talk the
other day with an old live stock friend
from Cincinnati, which friend had spent
two days last week around Wichita and
about her stock market and packing
houses That friend said to him that
Kansas and Nebraska in the near future
were going to be the famous hog and cat
tie states of the union, and that in his es-
timation no power or combination of in
terests, however great or strong, could pre-
vent Wichita from being one of the greet
est live stock markets on this American
continent. nor hinder Wichita from be
coming a mighty city whose property val
ues would go up and up until they became
as valuable as those of the greatest cities.
Such declaration from an old and expert
enced and very conservative man, which
Mr.. MoSer says he is, is a valuable declara-
