ANOTHER PREDICTION FOR WICHITA.

Thomas j. Ball, representative of the
Hapgood Boot and Shoe company, one Of
the big manufactures of Pennsylvania, and
in which Mr.. Ball holds s., 600 stock, spent
the past few days with Mr. f. Coen of this
city, who showed him around Mr.. Ball
before leaving for Denver last evening, said
that no Western city stands higher in the
estimation of eastern men than Wichita,
and no town about which of late so many
complimentary things are being said, and
of which there are so many bright prOphe-
cies. The old talk that the town had over
grown had given place to the conviction
that no city in the West would grow so
rapidly and substantially After two days
of close study Mr.. Ball said the situation
was even more promising and better than
understood East That, in short, he had
found no town in the West so full of
life and activity. In short, the EAGLE
is rapidly convincing the capitalists of the
east through a thousand channels and by
lrrefutable facts and figures, that Wichita
in her present, and in her future prospects
is without a rival west Of the Missouri. A
reaction is taking place in the minds Of
those, Who because Wichita has suffered,
as other western cities have, from a general
depression and two short crop years, that
therefore the country had failed and Wich-
tia with it; but they now begin to realize
that Wichita will inevitably make greater
a grander and a more rapid growth in the
near future than she ever did in the post

THE HALF HAD NOT BEEN TOLD.

A party of Michigan homeseekers ar
rived in the city yesterday morning and
being chaperoned by Secretary Cowley of
the State Immigration Bureau, they
spent the day in spying out the country
round about. They already declare in
chorus that the trip into the state thus far
is a complete revelation to them, that
they never saw it after this fashion before
meaning of course the comliness of the
landscape scenes and imcomparably fat
tering prospect for filing the cOrnucopia
to running over with the fruits of the
field, orchard and garden.

THE WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENT.

The work of putting down water mains
on Douglas avenue was completed yester-
day from Washington to Main and the
water turned on. All the old pipe has
been removed and sold to Mr. L. c. Jack
son who will set force of men to work to-
day removing them from the street. The
trench will be filled in and tamped today
provided no breaks in the main are discOv-
cred, which will add to the comfort of the
travelling public considerably.
Mr.. Amsbury, superintendent, said yes
terday that he would very soon get an
answer on the proposition to extend the
mains to South and North Mosley avenue
to accommodate the sewer district. He
recalled to cover the two districts properly
with mains, leaving no dead ends, and
thus furnishing good water for all con-
Sumers, would call for about four miles of
pipe. This would be an expenditure be-
tween fifteen and twenty thousand dollars
and hence a matter of some Importance
1t might prove very costly in the face of
the expense to make the extension. In the
meantime the water committee of the
council are figuring how to supply all the
flush tanks at as reasonable expense as
possible.

The police were notified by telephone
last night shortly after twelve o'clock that
the Missouri Pacific freight cars side
tracked at the Fort Scott elevator were
occupied by tramps. Officers Parks and
Snyder went over to investigate and found
that the majority of them had decamped
but found four whom they brought over.
They said that they wanted to leave town
and had slowed themselves away there
having learned that the cars would be
pulled out in the morning. As their in
formation was wrong the suspicion of the
citizens that they meant no good was
strengthened

THE FOOT RACE.

Last evening Just before dark the alley
in the rear of hose No. was the scene of
considerable excitement. A foot race be-
tween AL Clark, a member of the hose
company, and Bryan, one of the South
western Business college students, that
had been talked of for some time, took
place. 1t had been on the tapis long
enough to work up quite an interest and
several hundred spectators were on the
ground when the race was called. Both
men were in pretty good condition, and
seemed to be pretty evenly matched. In
advance the betting had been even but
when the time arrived it was two to one on
the collegian AS matter Of fact the fire
bows didn't have much money so as soon
as that was up the collegians were safe in
Offering two TO one because the would-be
takers had no money. A few outsiders
scooped in the odds, and in all probability
the total stakes would sum up
$40 Nevertheless the boys had all
the fun they wanted. The best
feeling seemed to prevail throughout. 1t
had been rumored about that Bryan was
professional, trained by Kettleman, and
on the other hand Clark's friends claimed
he was a dark horse in the sprintiDg world
The fifty yards were measured off in the
alley and all the preliminaries arranged in
a few minutes. After several attempts the
boys got started keeping about abreast the
entire distance. The race was so close
that the excitement ran pretty high and
the judges awarded it to Clark by probab-
ly less than six inches. Bryan lost his
shoe just before the race finished, which
accident his friends claim lost him the
race. There is some talk of another meet
ing, but nothing definite has been decided
upon.
