A Spicy Note About Winning wichita.

John Hogarth Lozur writes the Inter
Ocean an account of General Ayers visit
to Kansas in which he puts in some COM
pliments for and differences about the Peer
less Princess. He says:
L greet you from ''The Windy Wonder of
the Westn The wonder" to me is that,
after all, there is so little wind and so
much that is really solid and grand in this
wonderful city away over here at the forks
OF the Arkansas river. Wichita is a tri-
umph of faith; but that faith has its broad
foundations in these hundreds of miles of
fertile lands that spread out all around
this commercial center. Iexpected from
what had heard and read to find city of
vast dimensions ION paper" but L find
city of stately blocks, of elegant residences,
of extensive packing houses and manufac-
tories, and of no end to enterprise and
nerve" already here in visible and tangible
substantially / might add, in fidelity, to
truth, that the prospect for a good crop of
corn and other produce is fiattering for the
owners of the outlying leagues Of Wichita

Hghtfully shaded, and the main street of
the city is soon to be laid with patent
granite composite, Sioux Falls, s. D.,
product that is helping to bring our new
Dakota sister state into greater promi-
nence than ever.
Through the courtesy of the board of
trade, General Alger and party enjoyed a
visit to the leading packing houses, an en-
thusiastic reception in the board of trade
rooms, and an ''Eiffel tower" view of the
city and environs from the roof of that
building; our escort being President

BAR ASSOCIATION MEETING.

| The quarterly meeting of the Wichita
Bar association was held last night in the
| district court room, President Edwin
/ White Moore presiding.
! p. 4. ROhrbaugh, Esq. paper on the
needs and advantages of terms of the fed
eral court being held at Wichita. The
writer wisely aimed to be practical, rather
than theoretical, and in strong paper,
couched in graceful, elegant diction, point
ed out the necessities and advantages to
both bar and people that would come from
having terms of the United States circuit
and district courts here. The completion
Of the we'll adapted and commOdiOus gov
eminent building affords splendid accom-
modations for the courts and the large bus
mess of southwest Kansas makes it a
matter of high Importance to the people of
state, which advantages were set forth
forcibly and in detail by the paper read to
have sessions of the federal courts here.
Resolutions were adopted by the
association calling upon our sen
ators and representatives in CON
gress to speedily secure such leg
islation as will give annually sessions,
two or more, of both the United States
circuit and District courts at Wichita.
A committee was appointed to correspond
with the bar of southwest Kansas to Sc
cure their interest and cooperation in
obtaining successful action in the prem
Uses. That terms of the above mentioned
courts, to be held here, are needed is be-
yond question. Mr.. Rohrbaugh took the
ground that it was not advisable and ex-
pedient, as this time, to try to get a separ-
OTTO IL of
the state.
Mr. c. H. Brooks read an interesting
paper on Needed Legislation" reviewing
at length the "hard tines and the
causes" thereof, and advocating change
and reform in the pleading, practice and
law of mortgages and the sale of real
estate under mortgage. The paper finally
stated time" as the most efficacioUs pana-
cea for the many ills that at present
affiict us. Judge f. p Martin read the
concluding paper-having for his theme
Lawyers.
The Judge, while he was entertaining,
also offered some valuable suggestions to
the association touching the matter of
fees, cooperation and other matters of in
terest and Importance to the profession.
w +. Stanley. J. W. Adams and A. h.
Helm were designated by the executive
council to read papers at the next regular
quarterly meeting of the association.
Judge n. c. Sluss, chairman of the library
committee, presented an exhaustive and
well considered report upon the matter of
establishing law library for the use of
the bar of the city. The report received
very favorable consideration and the COM
mittee was instructed TO formulate and
carry out the plan suggested which pro
vides for organizing chartered library
association upon plan that seemed prac-
tical and advantageous to the association.

ladies Of this city to need much comment.
SOME OF THE DESIGNS.
| Space viii not permit even mention of

played was so arranged as TO form a part

spectators

In the jewelry department IS a balloon
made of china silk and spools just ready
TO make an ascension.
In the handkerchief department the
Eiffel tower reaches 10 the ceiling, CON
structed entirely with .handkerchiefs cum
ningly arranged and fastened.
In the linen department is a mill and
water wheel revolving made entirely of
linen. The mill pond is also represented
and ducks are seen swimming about. Its
construction is so ingenius that at first
glance one fancies that the water is real,
although only represented by linen towel

partment looked very natural. represent

entirely of goods in the department.
In the front center of the main store was
center piece made of swiss tiounces, stat
uary ribbons, flowers and notions, repre-
senting the Gates Ajar, " "CInging TO the
Cross" and Rock of Ages"
In the rear of the main store was an
other center piece representing picnic
scene. Upwards of twenty wax dolls in
picnic attire were holding picnic. Some
were III swings suspended from shade |
trees, others were holding tete-a-tees with |
their sweethearts, while a small group |
was enjoying luncheon. The entire !
was very realistic.
In the center of the west store was a |
representation of the Boston store as it APP |
peared in March SO its first opening date. |
In the foreground Is the store as il APP |
pears at present, showing EAGLE block |
which joins it on the east. The whole is
almost entirely of corset boxes
and does credit to the skill and patience of
the architect. The likeness is striking and
it was pronounced by many to be the hap
piest hit amongst the designs.

GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.

Concerning the fact that the tally sheets
and ballots from the first precinct of the
Fourth ward could not be found by the
canvassing board yesterday, the election
commissioner, Colonel Taylor said that he
is certain he received the returns from the
judges; that when all returns were in
Tuesday evening he turned them over TO
the city clerk with the suggestion that he
put them in the safe. Mr.. McNair replied
that the safe would not hold them and just
leave them in the room. The returns were
allowed to remain in the room and moth
ing known about any precinct taking
leave of absence until roll call, when it
failed to answer.
Mr.. McNair stated last night that the re-
turns would probably be found in some Of
the ballot boxes in the room
The affair created considerable talk on
the streets yesterday. As Glaze for Coun-
ell practically had no opposition, he WAS
by resolution declared elected but al TO the
school board contest the matter as re-
ferred to would be entirely different. The
returns as reported for early information
showed Mr. Charles Balance elected by
five votes but the precincts not accounted
for give him fifty majority over his op-
ponent Mr. W 3 ThrockmOrtOn. The
other three precincts counted alone would
change the result but what viii be done a.

A RUSHING BUSINESS.

W. T. Bishop & Sons yesterday removed
their wholesale cigar business from the
Clement block on Main street to the first
floor of the Masonic building, on the south
west corner of Main and First streets. The
big sign put up yesterday by Mr.. Joe
Henly in the interest of the firm attracted
no little attention. 1t was placed at the
top of the building, is twenty-five feet long
and five wide; ground work in tuscan red
with imitation gold letters.
A little over one year ago w. 7. Bishop.
Sr., reached the city, having come here
from Cincinnati to look over the induce
ments for going into the wholesale cigar
business The result was that within a
short time he had decided to move here,
and less than year ago the firm took the
first order. The present quarters are
twenty-five by one hundred and twenty
five feet, in one of the best locations in the
city. In the west end of the room is the
Office of the head bookkeeper, Mr.. II. W.
Bishop. Mr.. Frank c. Bishop gives most
of his attention to the city trade
while Mr.. w. T. Bishop is general
manager and gives special attention to
the travelling men. They have six men on
the road working exclusivelyfOr the house,
covering Kansas from east to west, the
Territory and Texas. Another agents goes
on the road next week for the house, travel
ing in Colorado exclusively.
The business of the house, according to
the manager, has in fact far surpassed
their expectations, but a surprise of this
kind they can endure without offering a
single objection. They claim that every
thing is conducive to a successful jobbing
business in Wichita, provided those ca
gagged in it do the proper amount of work.
In the absence of work, so far, the bust
ness men in no city have secured business,
and in Wichita the labor is not so great as
in many eastern towns of far more preten-
tions than the metropolis of the south
west. Within a few weeks in addition TO
cigars the house will handle tobacco and
cigarettes.
