KANSAS AND WICHITA.
Some Wonderfully Astonishing Facts
About the Central State and Its
Central City.

The attention of the business world
will soon be turned to Kansas again.
Her resources in field productions and
her unusual railway facilities combined
are bound to send her people to the top
of the next great wave of prosperity
which shall sweep over the country.
Facts which lie concealed mid the tables
of statistical data will soon be compre-
hended by the commercial world, which
has but to understand to act. Despite
all of the drawbacks incidental to the
development of new state, and the re-
lapses which ever follow in the wake of
imitation, Kansas will, per force of her
actual successes, soon be placed among
the leading agricultural and commercial
states of the Union, as she will be found
to be one of the richest and most pros
porous.
There are facts connected with our
wealth and standing as a producing
state, which are never brought out by
state agr. cultural department in an inn
pressive way or in such light as every
body can see and understand Kansas
is not only great in being the second
railway state in the Union, in her coal,
salt and mining interests, and very great
in her live stock interests, but superla-
lively great in her production Of grains.
And while upon the one hand she Is
midcontinental, upon the other hand all
ocean and lake ports of the continent
with their markets are hers in an adj
vantageous sense not enjoyed by the sew
eral states lying contiguous to either Of
the oceans or to the lakes.
In this connection we desire TO offer
some facts embraced in official figures
which we feel assured are not under
stood or appreciated even by Kansas
people. According to the United States
agricultural report for 1SS9,-the last
upon issue, Kansas produced:

Thousands of horses, cows and cattle
are annually shipped East from the West
and sold here at good prices. Every one
has to get acclimated; great many are
unable to pass through this stage of sick
ness and die. All these animals are dis
posed of as soon after arrival as possible
and are generally put at work and, if not
already sick, soon become so and, in this
condition, are driven through our streets,
allowed to drink at watering tanks,
spreading lie disease, if it be such, in
our midst. We have at present disease
among our horses and cattle and many
have died. AS protection against this,
it seems as if each State, or county even,
should have quarantine where these
animals should be kept until acclimated
quarantine should be under the care of
leompetent veterinaries, whose duty it
should be not to permit an animal to
leave until perfectly acclimated. Horses
or cattle that become sick with contag-
ious disease should at once be sent to
this hospital, in order, il possible, to stop
the spread of the disease and many val
liable animals saved. There is no need
that this quarantine should be large

pensive trimmings. but cheap, light
and comfortable place with plenty OF
ventilation. The expense of keeping this
