THE UNION PACIFIC CONNECTION.

Senator Bentley received word yesterday
from his client, c. Eisenmayer, Jr., of
Halstead, that the prospects for the early
construction of the Dakota, Wichita and
Galveston railway are very bright. Mr..
Eisenmayer is the president of the pro-
posed line, and has already expended con-
siderable money in the preliminary work
the city propositi n in the late election
carried, and it had been expected TO begin
work on the new line at this point
The construction in this city and county
will depend upon certain contingencies,
right of way and other details, ali pre-
liminary to beginning active work.
Ten days will probably see a surveying
party in the field locating the line
1t is probable that the first ten
miles of the line from Hal
stead to Bentley will be built
this fall The grade is very light
and the right of way inexpensive, follow
ing half section line the entire way be-
tween the points named From the latter
point into the city is about fifteen miles
in a direct line to the stock yards, which
no railway entering this city can afford to
miss. Much valuable right of way in
Eagle township has been guaranteed to
the railway company
1t is quite likely that the new railway
company will soon appear before the coun-
Gil asking for right of way through the
town. Close inquiry reveals the fact that
the company desires to 20 down Wichita
street, crossing the Arkansas river near
the present Missouri Pacific railway
bridge and following the west bank of the
river in southerly direction
from this point. In any event
it is probable that the line will
be built south from this city 1t is thought
by some that new line constructed in the
city should be be compelled to use streets
already occupied 10y lines now built. Mr.
Eisenmayer, the protector of the new line.
is entitled 10 great credit for his public
spirit, push and energy, which it is hoped
viii soon be carried To a successful term
ination.
Ii is supposed there will be the usual
powwow about the right of way through
he city There will no doubt be resolu-
tions. reports and ordinances referred to
{ he railroad committee. 1t will no doubt
take many weeks and possibly months be
fore the matter will be made ready TO slide
But as most OF the exciting city
work seems 10 be over and possibly an
other railroad franchise would assist in
breaking the monoJony OF the dreary
winter months.

SOMETHING of THE SITUATION.

The Hon. s. r. Peters was in the city
yesterday few hours, en- route home from
Kingman, where he was attending TO some
legal business. In a conversation last eve
ming he said be was quite glad that be was
not on the train that was partially smashed
on the 4th inst. He is of the opinion that
when the legislation of the last congress is
better understood it will be better appre-
ciated and more popular. The imagined
defects creating such howl when put to
the practical test, he thinks, will prove to
be purely imaginary, and the meritoriOus
features will be felt and recognized in the
commercial world.
Mr.. Peters says he is quite glad to get
away from public life and get down to pri-
vate business. 1t is hard to realize
the great work that is connected
with representing the largest district in
the United States and the correspondence
alone is enough to employ many clerks
and demand hours of personal attention
from the representative. Mr.. Peters says
the work is painfully monotonous.
Mr.. Peters leaves for Washington on the
2lst inst. to attend the nesting of the
committee on appropriations which is COM
PEELED to commence work before the ses-
sion begins. He expresses the hope that the
next congress will comply with it's pledges
and as the calamity members from Kansas
are with the majority in the house he sees
no reason why they will not be able to
suggest some "cure alp remedies.

inches. The pump in the station has a
capacity of two thousand gallons per
minute Everything is ready for the water
and the pumping will commence today.
1t will be made ready TO absorb the low
temperature in order to get an
ice crop. With the average amount of
low temperature Mr.. Hoff expects
to get several six inch layers of ice which
may be calling for silver and gold next
summer during the lemonade and ice
cream season.
In the event the ice crop is failure, Mr.
Hoff istready to try it in the fish raising.
He is prepared to catch the coon "a gNvin

for 10000 German carp TO be delivered
next spring which will be turned loose in

source which will gradually increase and
finally amount to handsome figure. Be
fore stocking the lake with carp the banks
will be boarded up making a solid wall
Some stone will be thrown in to make an
inviting home for the fish.

WILL TACKLE THE THIEVES.

The Electric Railway company Is after
thieves. The management was unani-
nous in resolution 10 tackle them wher-
ever they could find them, and on all oc
casions would find them. For some time
the robbers nave been going on the theory
that it is perfectly legitimate to steal from
the company. As result they have been
stealing ties. all kinds of lumber, trolly
wire or any other kind of wire and any
and all kinds of construction material. II
seems that the thieves are hungry, or at
least they steal material valuable to the
company, but which can be sold for very
little They are having great time con-
cealing the goods, and so far this week SIX
of them have been unsuccessful They are
being arres ed on state warrants. and viii
be given careful attention by the company.
Ii is intended 10 prosecute vigorously, and
there is no doubt but that some will be
caught who will be greatly surprised at
finding out they have been caught.
The company has received the steam pipe
which mas caused 50 long delay. 1t IS now
being put in position aud steam power Will
be ready TO use by the last Of the week
The new dynamos for tie power station
have arrived and the electric machinery is
about ready for business The two new
dynamos will furnish the power for the
plant until the Riverside dynamo and the
one stationed At the plOw works are re-
moved to the Central station where the
four will be ready for service on any emer-
gency.
The company will be ready to utilize the
Douglas avenue bridge across Chisholm
creek as soon as it is completed Ii IS sup
posed the construction OF the bridge Will

the grand entrance to the worlds fair, art
gallery, the statuary department, etc. An
attempt to describe the beautiful scenery,

lists. The closing of the third act Is the
finest piece of stage setting ever seen in

Of rich comedy throughout the piece, which

The electric lights on West Douglas and

4 representative of the Thompson
Houston said yesterday that the contract
for all night as presented by the council
wonld be given TO the directory. The only
change made was to cut the per cent on
overdue bills He thought that feature
would not make any difference 10 the com
pany provided the city would pay its bills
on time, which would not call for per cent
high or low, but the experience during the
last year was such as to suggest delays Of
several months and also suggested that
il would be business on the part
of the company to provide for such emer-
gencies in a business-hke way. The 10 per
cent was allowed the Citizens company
and was legal rate and as low as the com
paay could borrow money should it be
forced TO do 50 becau sc OF failure on the
part Of the city 10 pay promptly Under
the circumstances he thought the COM
pany could afford 20 give half night serv-
ice at s. 50 per month per light instead Of
all night at - with the chances Of giving
the service an 10 per cent money and wait
ing for payments at per cent. This. how
ever. was a matter the directory would de
termine upon in due time and in the
meanwhile the Second ward and North
Main will plod along with half night serv-
ice while the citizens in that section assist
n paying for all night service in other
parts OF the city.
