THINKS THERE Is A SITTING TO III.

Mr.. Sullivan, of Sullivan & Stinmetz
sewer contractors, said yesterday that the
water company according TO recent com
munication to the council, might want
500 for damage TO mains reported TO have
been caused in sewer connection. He sup
posed the city council would allow the
amount out Of the sewer fund, holding the
same from the sewer contractors, but ia
his judgment the contractors would not
loose the amount on the round up. He
said the council formerly had been liberal
with the sewer fund money in paying TX
Councilman Mercer Tor a horse which Is
Vet doing service and he thought the rlnaI
settlement would find that amount COM
ing back to the contractors with interest.

4 NEW YORKER LOOKING FOR A LO-
CATION

Mr. Barney B. Taylor OF Portland coun-
ty, New York, called yesterday with Mr.
S. Z. Hubbard, OF this city, who was born
in Mr.. Taylor's home county. Mr.. T.
who comes 20 Wichita and the great val
ley with an eye to business said that
he was taken ab&ck by Wichita. He had
been trying to figure it out how it had all
come about in comparatively so short a
time and failing of a satisfactory solution
had enquired of his friend Hubbard. He
finally came upon a solution and 1t was
the right one, viz: the immense and innu-
merable natural resources of q country
whose soil demanded no change Of crops or
rest. The proposition of field yielding Il
crop of corn seventeen years in succession
without once seeding it down TO grass, and
the last crop the biggest of the whole
series was entirely outside his experience.
4 country of such soil was bound to he
great and its greatness must come quick.
When all of the areas of southwest KanseS
have been brought under the plcw. Mr..
Tylor not only, but the world Will see
in Wichita not only much greater city
shan she is today, but one of the greatest
markets on the continent in the midst of
the wealthiest and most prosperous agrl-
cultural districts in the world.

LIVE STOCK AND GRAIN.
The Eagle Building the Wichita Mark

The late editions of the EAGLE illustrat-
ing the live stock and grain markets of
Wichita seem to have had a wonderful
stimulating effect. Yesterday was the
| banner day in the history of the live stock
market and one of the biggest the city ever
witnessed in the grain market. Up
about the stock yards and down
about the elevators the switch
engines were putting and screeching
pulling and backing in the livest sort of a
way all day and until a late hour last
night. The record on the hog market was
broken in wonderful way and broken all
to pieces, while the cattle made a record
never equalled more than a few times.
The receipts of corn and oats by j. w.
Hawn & Co. today is about sixty-fve cars,
and the largest they have ever had. This,
together with 2612 hogs and 346 cattle on
the live stock market, means great deal
for Wichita, and the days business in
money amounts to about 1900, a large
part of which goes into the pockets of the
farmers and stock raisers of southwestern
Kansas.
