a CITY OF BEAUTIFUL HOMES.
Wiehita's Tree Uncovered Avenues and Many
Fine Modern Residences.

A well known Chicagon, in a late visit
to this city remarked: There are finer
and costlier residences to be found in the
older cities of this country, but no city on
the continent of its size and age can show
as many splendid homes as Wichita" The
observation was undoubtedly correct. For
a variety of fine and even splendid resi-
dences no city of its age and population in
America can rival Wichita The style OF
the architecture Is as varied as the taste Of
her citizens, who have come from all parts
of the country. So marked are the styles
that a traveller Of much experience was led
TO eXclalm a short time since. where did
your architects air come fromsn And they
are not in number to be counted on ones
finger ends. They flank cur long, smooth
and delightfully."- shaded avenues where
trees ranging either side for miles and
miles and touch each other with their
leafy branches across the way, forming IN
many places a complete arch over the
streets. No material predominates IN the
construction of these several homes,
but wood and brick and stone
Of every variety and character have
been employed, some of the stone being
brought from long distances. There are
homes which cost fifty thousand dollars
and upwards, and the houses which cost
from five to twenty-five thousand dollars
can be numbered by the scores. And
Wichita's homes are not damned in and
crowded together on narrow lots. The
broad, expansive and illimitable landscape
seemed to have inspired the founders Of
the city with generous thoughts and broad
ideas, commensurate with their dreams OF
the city's future greatness. Streets were
laid out wide and long through level
stretches that cost but the price per acre
fixed by the treaty between the Indians
and the general government. And the lots
and plots and squares were broadened
and deepened portionately, so that every
home, however humble, has its grass lawn
and its shade and ornamental trees and
vines, and every pretentious residence its
ample grounds and liberal surroundings.
On last Sunday morning the EAGLE
presented its readers with views of three
of Wichita's most costly public edifces,
buildings which would be an ornament to
any city however great, the three aggre-
eating a cost of over half million dol
lars This morning we give prospective
of the latest finished pretentious home
erected in the city. 1t is the new residence
of Hon. Robert E. Lawrence, built upon =
portion of his original homestead or pre-
emption right. We have no description of
its details or floor plans, but it is built of a
whitish gray native stone Of pleasing
tone and is as beautiful as it is solid and
substantial, a very modern palace, inside
and out, in short, a grand home of pleas
ing design and harmonious proportions.

THE NEW RAILROAD.
The New Union Pacific Connection Going
Along SWimingly.

The meetings held during the past week
in the interest Of the Halstead Belt Line
company have been well attended, and
great interest has been shown. Meetings
have been held thus far in Eagle township
at Bentley in this county, at Halstead, and
at point five miles north of that point.
All of these meetings have been addressed
by Senator Bentley, Of this city. The
meeting held in Eagle township, on Friday
evening, had by actual count sixty voters
present. There is every indication now
that the aid asked viii be voted along the
entire line The people north of Halstead,
between that point and Mcpherson, have
assured Mr. Eisenmyer, president of the
line, that they will aid him. As soon as
aid is voted on the elections now
called the first ten mile section
from Bentley to Halstead will be built.
The franchise from Halstead to McPher-
son is now being worked up. The propo-
sition in Eagle township is for s., 600. This
is the lightest and fairest proposition ever
submitted to a township in Kansas, and
the people should have no hesitation in
voting this aid, even if the new line falls
into the hands of the Frisco and the road
is never built south of Bentley, it makes
Bentley an important transfer and divis-
ion station on the Frisco line. People who
have lived in Kansas know what division
terminus on an important railway line
means. 1t means a thrifty town and a
good trading point. In meant more than
one hundred railway employees in Burton
when made division station on the Kan
sas Midland railway, and it means the
same thing for Bentley

MEETING OF CITY TEACHERS.

The city teachers met yesterday at the
High school building at the usual hour,
After the opening exercises, papers were
read by Principal r. S. Barackman, of the
Washington school, and Miss Smoke, OF
the High school.
The subject of Mr.. Barackman's paper
was Physical Training in the American
Schools" which he handled in a mastery
manner, evincing the fact that he under
stood his subject, both physically and in
its relation to the education of the present
day. The strong. active, driving brain, is
found in the body of like energy, while the
sluggish brain is the result of the slow cir
culation of the inactive body. The SUBJECT
was discussed pro and con by Mr.. A. Rosen-
berger, Mrs. Booth, Prof. Young. Miss
Amidon, Mr. McMichael and Miss Mills.
DR.. Stevenson said the use of muscular
exercise was to increase the intensity of
the thinking power of the brain.
At this point of the program Miss Jessie
Clark rendered an excellent instrumental
solo, which was heartily applauded.
The subject of the paper read by Miss
Smoke pertained Character Building "
Almost every sentence was suggestive of a
volume of thought. The factors entering
into the structure of character are home
influence, teachers influence and the in
fluence Of schoOlmates and asso-
ciates. Other necessary elements are
habits of work, self-control, well directed
plan and aim in life, and an appreciation
and improvement of opportunities. The
material for the furnishing of the build
ing is gathered by the reading and assimi-
Iation of the best thought of the standard
authors.
Miss Bryson, Mr.. Burns and Prof Shull
discussed the subject matter Of the paper.
DR.. Stevenson emphasized the important
fact of reading and re-reading and digest
ing a good book, until it became a part Of
the readers character. We prove our in
heritance to the legacy bequeathed by the
past by the assimilation of good books.
The following resolution was unani-
mousIy adopted
Resolved, That we, as body of teachers,
hereby tender our hearty thanks TO Mr.
Pierce, secretary of the board OF trade,
Messrs Barnum, Wagner and Hamilton,
managers of the packing houses, for the
uniform courtesy and attention shown US
on our recent visit, and for other kindness
on their part which made the day instruc-
tive and interesting.
After remarks by the superintendent
concerning the final examination, the
meeting adjourned with the singing Of the
doxology.

LARGEST BUSINESS IN THE HISTORY OF
THE YARDS.

The receipts OF live stock at the Union
Stock Yards during the week just closed
have been the largest in the history Of this
organization Prices on both cattle and
hogs have been very satisfactory and ship
pers have been well pleased with results.
The business is growing very fast, in fact,
it has no precedent. New shippers are
coming daily and say they can not afford
to 90 by the Wichita market. The live
stock market and packing houses certainly
have the brightest prospects OF any OF
Wichita's numerous industries
Many who have given the matter some
thought, all unite in saying the prospects
for one Of the largest markets in the [ nited
States is certainly very hattering. The
company are now at work on an addition
TO the new yards which viii more than
double the present cattle capacity. which
they supposed would be large enough for
at least one year from the time the new
yards were completed, some four months
but they are now badly crowded for room
and an addition viii be added. L Is simp-
IL wonderful the manner n which the
business is increasing. and il viii continue
70 grow until il becomes one Of the great
est markets IN the country.

INSPECTOR TO BE APPOINTED.

DR.. 7. w. Armstrong, government IN
spector of live stock and stock yards, who
is stationed at Kansas City, and under or
ders of DR.. d. L. Salmon, chief of the
Bureau of Animal Industry in company
with j. 7. White, of Ada, Kan, chairman
of the State Live Stock Sanitary commits
sion, inspected the Wichita Union stock
yards Yesterday This inspection bureau
was created for the purpose of looking
after shipments of southern cattle coming
from fever districts between March Is and
December 1, to see that they are properly
handled in transit and yarded in pens
where native cattle are not handled, and
thereby prevent the spreading of splenetic
or Texas fever TO northern cattle. The
large increase of business on this market
caused these gentlemen to come here.
They made thorough inspection of the
yards Yesterday. They found everything in
first-class condition and they say
our facilities for handling all classes
of stock are the very best. The old yards
which will be used for the exclusive use of
southern cattlo coming from the infected
districts are so far removed from the new
yards where all the northern or native
cattle will be handled, and located on q
different track makes it absolutely safe for
farmers or feeders to get cattle through
the new yards here without their coming
in contact with the southern cattle.
These gentlemen wish it thoroughly IN
derstood that they did not come here with
the idea that there is more danger than
seasons before, on the other hand they
think there is much less as the system
which the railroad companies and their
agents handle cattle coming from the fever
infested districts make ii almost impossi-
BILE for northern cattle 10 come in contact
with it.
They are taking all these precautions to
prevent any outbreak of the fever among
northern cattle The agents of the differ
ent railroad companies have orders TO I'M
load all cattle coming from south Of the
fever line to unload them at the old yards.
There will be an inspector appointed here
for the purpose of seeing that the orders of
the Railroads and Stock Yards companies
are carried out.
Doctor Armstrong is much pleased with
Wichita and said she certainly has a
bright future before her and that before
her people realized it there would be
very large stock market here.
Mr.. White said he was here IN 1872 and
was offered a quarter section Of land on a
part Of which the Carey hotel now stands
$500 He IS much pleased with the city
and says he can see no reason why a very
extensive live stock market cannot be
built up here.
