THE UNION PACIFIC EXTENSION =.

There is living today in our neighboring
city of Halstead, a public spirited and pro-
gressive citizen 10y the name of c. Eisen-
mayer Jr This gentleman is a man OF
force, push and enterprise. He has large
property interests in Harvey county and
is financially interested in this city. Mr.
Eisenmoyer is the protector and one of the
financial hackers of the Dakota. Wichita
g. Galveston railway 1t takes large CAPT
tai to build a railroad. During the pres
ent winter it is proposed TO build the first
sixty miles of this line. A direct connec-
tion will be made in Mcpherson county
with the Union Pacific railway. The next
year will see the trains of that great over
land route at our doors. From this city
the line will run in southerly
or southwesterly direction pene-
trating the Indian Territory and head
ing for Texas. To accomplish all
this requires energy, patience. and capital
No single individual can build a great
trunk line of railway, it requires an ag-
gregation of capital. The country CON
tiguous to the new line will reap great
benefit. This city with its expanding
trade. its growing live stock market. and
us UNIV 'littl POSITION As the DuSln eSS
metropolis OF the new southwest, will feel
a new impetus from new railway, and
this great county with its diversified in
terests Will gather new force and addition

Let Wichita and Sedgwick county remem-
Der now, as in the past, that they can

able railway proposition submitted to the
voters. The proposition is fair one. Ii
Is business proposition from business
men. Let US again put our shoulders
to the wheel, and aid this great enterprise,
the completion of which means so much

VOTERS, MEETING.

A meeting of the voters Of Waco town
ship was held last evening at Riverside
school house. a large crowd was in at
tendance, including quite a number of
members of the Alliance. The meeting
was addressed by Mr.. Sturdevant and 5.
NJ Tucker, who each occupied over an
hour and held the attention of those present
throughout the evening. Some DISPOSE
ton was shown by few of the Peoples
party fellows to disturb the speakers, but
they poured the solid Republican truths
into the disturbers so strongly that there
was no loop hole left for them TO escape
at. The meeting was a most enthusiastic
one aud augured well for the straight
Republican ticket today.

KILLED HIS HORSE.

Yesterday morning about 7:3O O'Clock, as
Charles Reese, who drives a delivery
wagon for John Weger's bakery on East
Oak street, was attempting to cross the
Santa Fe railroad tracks on Oak, a freight
going north struck his horse, and tearing
it loose from the wagon, carried it up the
track hundred feet or so and threw it in
the ditch, with one hind foot cut nearly
off; legs broken and jugular vein cut so
the horse bled to death in few minutes.
Mr. Weger states that there was no flag
man in sight, and as the driver came
around the hotel on to Fifth avenue and
got on the track he saw the train almost
upon him. He attempted to back the
horse, but failed to do so in time to save
him. The driver escaped unframed.

HOW WICHITA SPREADS.

Wichita's wholesaling interests are not
only increasing in a most gratifying way,
but the trade of the various lines are reach
ing out farther and farther and spreading
generally. We noticed in the vestibule of
one house the other day big pile of boxes
and packages for different Texas towns.
Mr. Bishop, of Wichita's big cigar and to-
bacco house, as he was running over a big
pile of mail order for goods, incidently
called our attention to the fact that three
Of the orders were from Missouri,-one of
them from Springfield, and another from
right under Kansas City's nose,-one from
Sherman, Texas, and one from Pueblo,
Colorado, together with several from Okla
homa and southern Kansas What
ever advantages Wichita may have
as a natural center, and what
ever superior railway facilities and
of train service, there is no disputing
the fact that her jobbers are men who
would succeed anywhere. While they do
not ignore the advantages of Wichita as a
uloUIibuOihS OeheeI, Ihey are not JHe less
determined to reach every portion of the
country to which they can sell goods with
profit to themselves and to their custom
ers. And this is what builds up a trade
Before or by spring Wichita will have two
or three mammoth jobbing concerns, after
which the gauntlet will be thrown down
to St. Joseph and Kansas City for a good
third Of all the trade of the territory which
has been so moropolized by these Missouri
river towns.

COLORED REPUBLICANS.
A Large and Enthusiastic Meeting OF the
COIored Republicans Held at the \.
". l.. Church.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
colored voters of the city was held last
night at the A. NJ +. church, on North
Water. The meeting was addressed by
Rev. Watson, pastor of the A. NJ. T..
church, and Messrs. Rollins, McAfee,
Douglas V. Donnelly and Albert j. Aubin
Messrs. Aubin and Donnelly held the
close attention of all present and gave
some very conclusive reasons why the
straight Republican ticket should receive
the support and vote of every voter in the
CITY,
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed
throughout the entire meeting and the
speakers were frequently interrupted by
rounds of applause such as only vigorous
colored man can give when he is i'm
mensely pleased. 1t is almost necessary
to state that the meeting was solidly Re-
publican almost to man. All who were
there, will without doubt, vote their
honest convictions today by casting a
ballot for Republicanism and in the inter
est of Wichita

ancial condition of the state His refer

Mayor Clement followed in a short but
very pointed speech. He gave his obser-
vations of Kansas during the campaign
and was cheered enthusiastically by the
audience. He assured the audience that

ADJUSTMENTS.
CRAWFORD GRAND.


A large and enthusiastic audience was at
1 the opera house last evening TO see Salvini
/ in '-Child of Naples" Much was ex-
pected of Salvini and the generous ap-
| plause given in his presentation of the
character of Cirillo certainly indicated
that all expectations were realized. The
character of Cirillo is a new one to the
majority of our theater goers, a character
| that none but an artist could pre-
sent with any degree Of success;
tbs one that deals with love and gratitude
promptly by an act of kindness on one
side, intense hate for an injury on the
other, a character once seen always TO De
remembered. His rendering OF the charac-
ter is an inspiration, the gratitude and
love of the street urchin and galley slave
for the woman, who as a girl. had done
him an act OF kindness, was his religion
As a romantic actor Mr.. Salvini is certain
ly entitled TO position among the best.
The play itself Is one which all
should see, intensely interesting from be-
ginning to end, it calls for the most strict
attention As to the company nothing
but praise could be given Miss Belle Ar

actress, as Lucia, was all that could have
