SEEING WICHITA.


Mr.. Burton ID Sanborn, prominent
real estate man of Greeley, Col, enjoyed
looking over the city yesterday in company
with his old friend and fellow townsman,
Rev. n. Hoagland. Greeley is about the
same age as Wichita aud Mr.. Sanborn is
one of its first settlers. His father-in-law
was the first colonist on the ground
Twenty years ago Greeley was patch of
sand-burrs and cactus. 1t is now a town
of beautiful. healthy homes, attractive
gardens and shaded streets. Mr.. Sanborn
has been prominently interested in all the
public enterprises that has made Greeley
what it is, the Gem City of Northern Colo
RADIO. He was very favorably impressed,
not TO say surprised, at the evidences of
large population and business activity as
manifested on our streets. The solid buSl-
ness houses and elegant residences which
he saw in IA short drive convinced him that
Wichita had taken firm root in good soil
and WAS only getting ready to grow. Mr..
Sanborn is just returning from a three
weeks tour of eastern cities, where he has
been pushing the introduction for raising
and lowering electric lights in which he is
interested

THE DEMOREST CONTEST.

Last evening the Baptist church was
filled with an appreciative audience to
witness the Demorest medal contest in
which six misses acquitted themselves
| most eloquently. Mrs. J. G. Trotter who
has charge of these popular contests in the
city, under the auspices of the Ladies'
Society of the Baptist church, gave this
most creditable entertainment. AS every
one knows all recitations were on the sub
ject of temperance thus enforcing its
principles in the most forcible manner
possible. The music was under the direc-
tion of Miss Mabel Aver was excellent in
every appointment. Miss Aver in her en-
ergy and tireless efforts not only perform
ed her part of the program with great
credit, but also arranged many prelimi-
naries for the other musical perfor mers.
The ladies of the Baptist church are
pleased to express their warm apprecia-
tion Of the ,gratuitous services of Mrs
Finlay Ross, Mrs. Virgaline Lucy, Miss
Odessa johnson, and all others who aided
in making the contest such a success.
Professor Crowell presided and Professor
j. c. South offered prayer. after which the
program was rendered as follows:

of Miss Mabel Moore. Prof. DAYS., on be-
half of the management, presented to the
successful speaker a handsome silver
medal; and to each of the reciters beau
tiful valentine The rectations were of
high order of excellence. Each young
lady performed her part so creditably that
deciding among them was not an easy
task, however, the decision of the judges
when rendered met the approval of the
entire audience. Miss Moore, the sue
cessful contestant, has magnificent voice
under perfect control; her grace of manner
and appriateness of gesture won for her
the liberal applause which she received.

THE PRATT-SCOTT NUPTIALS.

Messrs. William A. Smith and George
ID. Cross returned yesterday from Burling-
ton. Ia, where they had been to attend the
wedding of Mr.. George L. Pratt and Miss
Eunice Scott. The ceremony was cele-
brated at o'clock Tuesday evening in the
Christ's church of Burlington, the Rev.
DR.. johnson officiating, and the church
was crowded to its utmost capacity. The
wedding party went from the church to
Mr.. Scott's residence where a reception
was held after luncheon was served until
10 O'Clock, when the happy couple took the
train for Niagara direct. From here they
will come to New York, thence Washing
ton, returning home to Wichita about
March !. Burlington is losing one of its
leading society ladies but Burlington's
loss will be Wichita's gain. The bride has
a host of friends who remembered her
with wedding presents too numerous to
mention, one room would scarcely contain
them all. Messrs. Smith and Cross were
the groomsmen and the Misses Nettie
Wyman and Laura Poor attended the
bride. The wedding was the largest and
gayest witnessed IN Burlington for years

ROYAL HORSES.

A member of the Judiciary committee OF
the city council said yesterday that he
never knew until recently how many fine
horses there were in the city. He had
learned officially that fine horses were
much more likely to be injured by defective
streets than an ordinary animal. A horse
life insurance company would certainly
want high rate on fine horse, while the
scale would show that a very low rate on
an ordinary horse would be a paying in
vostment to the insurance company. In
fact, ne never knew of m average horse
getting tangled up in ditch or a water
pipe, or in fact anywhere. It was always
some blue grass Kentucky dandy that got
sprained or injured. Of the many petit
tons. mournful petitions before the COM
mittee and council for damages ia every
instance the damaged animal was at his
best the finest horse in the city He sug-
gested it would he 2 good plan for the city
to invest half million in fixing up a
royal horse graveyard, and whenever a
horse was done up or suspicion of the same
send him there for distinction.

The Pink Domino Ball given by the
ladies of the Turnverein Forwaerts at the
A O. L. ". hall last night was q grand
social and financial success The floor was
crowded with dancers while che sides OF
the hall were lined with guests who only
came to look on until the masks We're re-
moved.
At ll:30 the dancers uumasked when the
dancing became general \ short inter
mission occurred at u O'Clock. The music
was furnished By Shaw's orchestra The
dancers during the fore part of the even
ing were ali dressed in pink dominoes and
presented a very gay appearance, but not
until the masks were removed did the full
beauty of the scene become apparent
Smiling faces ana pretty costumes told
very plainly that all had come for good
time and were having it.

A VALUABLE VALENTINE.

That was lively and valuable valentine
delivered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. N
o. Herrig yesterday. 1t was as pretty as
a cupid, but of the other sex, and weighed
eleven pounds DR.. Wendell seems to
have been the officiating postman for this
tender little bud of flesh and blood. The
EAGLE congratulates its friends on the re-
ception of keepsake and token of the
day, and of their constancy which will light
up the love in their hearts and render
their home thousand times brighter
than all the show and tinsel, all tine senti-
ment and gold ever combined together in
memory of the saint who presides over
youthful loves and the matings of birds.

STREET NAMES.

Everybody interested in the city's future
without doubt will endorse the movement
lately made to unity the names of streets
aud do away with duplicate names What
sense to an outside man is n description of
location reading, for instance, 1.-THE corner
OF Second and Second street." Yet such
descriptions occur. There is no sense in
such work Many streets are but block
or two long under one name changing two
or three times within a distance of a half
a mile. Streets of the same name and
avenues of the same number are found
running both north and south in a most
confusing way and many streets entirely
distinct bear the same name. A street
should bear the same name from end to
end, and no addition should be permitted
to be filed unless the streets of such addi-
ton conformed to the other streets in
width. direction and name. For instance,
when Lawrence avenue is spoken of every
body knows just what is meant, for as far
as it goes north or south it is Lawrence
avenue all the way through. So it should
be with all other streets, and unqUestion-
ably.

GOOD PROSPECTS.

Mr. r. NJ Piatt received a letter from
Mr.. Frank Williams yesterday stating
that the committee sent to Chicago by the
immigration bureau would probably re-
turn today. The committee consists of
Messrs. Frank Williams, J. ID. Hewitt and
Hale Cowley. The letter is full of hope
that eastern passenger associations will
act favorably upon the request of the bu-
reau. 1t states that the railroad commit
tee with them from the Trans Missouri as
ISOLATION is working earnestly, faithfully
and honestly, in his Judgment, to assist
the Kansas bureau. There is good pros
pect that the result Will be known by the
last OF the month, when arrangements
will be made for the excursions and the re-
suit of the much work in organizing and
all along the line will be felt.

CORN AND HOGS.
Some Facts Presented at the Board OF Trade
Suggested Work TO the Packing House
Committee.

Mr.. John Skinner, who lives near Chi
cage, is visiting his brother, j. NJ. Skin
ner. He is one of the leading farmers of
his section and was recalling some inter-
esting facts at the board of trade rooms
Yesterday His market for corn is IS cents
per bushel, and some days ago he sold
some hogs for 1855 per hundred. The
same day he noticed by the EAGLE that
the same quality of hogs sold here for So 65
per hundred, the same as the market at
Chicago, and also noticed that corn here
was bringing IA cents per bushel. of double
what be WAS selling il for. He considered
it business for him 10 raise hogs on IS cent
corn at s.. IS per hundred. and he reached
the conclusion that it would pay the farm
ers of southern Kansas 10 raise hogs on IA
cent corn at the prices than to sell the
corn.
The statement made by Mr.. Skinner
was regarded as quite forcible. and con-
tanned facts on the situation which would
warrant the conclusion which be offered.
Some of the board of trade members said
that something should be done to bring
the facts before the farmers of the south
west That it would be of great value to
tnem. w Hile Tue TaisiuS Vi AogS IN the
southwest in the last year or two had
greatly increased. in the minds of SOM.
but not as great as the best business pol
icy would suggest. Some were in favor of
the packing house commute for a time
turning it's attention to the question and
see if it is possible to place in the hands of
every farmer the facts concerning hogs
and corn, hoping that the information
would prove of great benefit to many
farmers in particular and result in great
good TO the southwest ID particular.
