A HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

| Mr.. Editor.
| Several recent visits to the State Histori-
cal society at Topeka have confirmed me
! in the belief that Wichita should have a
Historical society. The old Chisholm cat
tie trail, the place of the council fires at
the meeting of the rivers, the sites of
| early buildings erected both for good or i'll,
are surely teeming with historical memo
ries and traditions But who shall pre-
serve these memories? The generation of
men (the founders of this city,, who once
knew these so intimately, Will soon pass to
the beyond. The men who knew Jesse
Chisholm, who listened with mingled emo
lions to the first church bell of the Arkan-
sas valley, or who hunted buffalo from this
starting point, are yearly growing fewer.
All these need but encouragement to pour
forth "reminiscences of great future histori-
cal interest. Why not utilize at once their
memory, as well as the relics now prob
ably in their possession, but which last
may pass in few years to friends or rela-
tlves of distant states?
Then, too, in the rapid progress of our
city, old landmarks are rapidly giving
place to new and commodious business
structures or dwellings, tasty and elegant
! /
her past In the near future she will be a
city of two decades, housed in structures
creditable to a city of a century's
growth. Where, even now, are the
buildings of ten years ago, and
who can properly describe them2
Who could reconstruct Douglas or Main?
Photographs of these old time buildings
and progressive pictures of the above
named and other streets would be not
merely of passing note, but of constantly
growing interest as the years fly.
Why not engage our club Of amateur
and other photographers in what viii be
to them a pleasant labor, and u Us and
those who come after Us a source of con
slant delight.
VIII you not, Mr.. Editor, employ your
powerful pen in advocacy of the above or
you busy in recording such items as came
to your own notice. and files of the EAGLE
Will soon be the only source of information
concerning our past. But might not
sources of information be disclosed, and
mines of tragic or pathetic song, story or
tradition be disclosed if jheir possessors
but knew they were yielking their stores
to some great public enterprise TO which
the EAGLE gave countenance and support
Believing the object named to be patri-
otto and OF pressing interest If ever accom-
plished, and feasible now, and hoping that
some steps may be taken towards its full
fillment, | remain very truly,

resorts for the bachelors. Every comfort
and convenience are added and those who
desire recreation can find it there
Up stairs admits you into a large and
hospitable hall and gives suggestion of
the elegant and luxurious furnishings of
the parlorS The parlor is a model in both
size and furnishings and yet not too large
to accomodace the needs of the hotel.
On this floor are several suites of large,
beautiful rooms affording every cOnven-
fence and comfort that heart could wish
for The furnishings throughout the en-
tire establishment are in keeping with the
suggestions of taste and refinement one
gets upon entering the hail. 1t is needless
TO state that each suite of rooms and every
hall is provided with every modern con
venience
\ broad gallery, the width of the side
walk, runs the entire front of the building
commanding an excellent view of Main

three separate rarlors may be thrown into

Its location is counted by hotel men to
be the best in the city, being central and
within easy distance of all the railroad
depots. 1t is on the southeast corner of
Main and Second streets and as nearly as
possible in the center of business. When
the new court house is completed, and the
new buildings on North Main street, at
present in course of construction, are occu-
pied, its location will be still further i'm
proved.
The offices open out on Main street and
are large and airy. The annunciator shows
that at present there are siXty-five rooms at
the disposal of the guests. In the rear of the
office is a large reading room where all the
exchanges are kept on file, the daily papers
and leading periodicals are also at the
service of the guests. Easy chairs and
settees are there in abundance suggesting
every comfort that can be found outside of
the sacred precincts of home The con-
slant coming and going, registering out
and registering in, an extra dinner or two,
the CHEEKY call of the bus man, annOunc-
ing the departure of the numerous trains,
all give the office an air of hustle that is
very gratifying to landlord and SO much
in keeping with busy western hotel that
it is even pleasing to the guests.
The billiard parlor and smoking room
are large and comfortable and are favorite

tions and stepped forth on her husband
arm on path literally strewn with roses
Its drawn shades and crape-hung walls
have again witnessed the last sad rites
over the mortal remains of some loved de-
parted There is home feeling about the
very corridors that impresses even the
casual guest and will ensure custom for
the hotel long after the present generation
shall have passed away.
In addition to the office, reading room,
etc, already mentioned, on the lower floor
are the laundry, baths and one Of the most
important features in the management of
the hotel, viz: the dining room. A dinAer
at the Occidental places at rest forever the
question of the kitchen. Its old-time rep
utation for good cheer has never suffered
and its bill of fare indicates anything that
can be desired from the most frugal and
abstemious repast to a Delmonico ban
quet The table is sufficient evidence that
the kitchen appointments must be all per-
feet and thorough.
The dining room is a large lofty hall
neatly decorated in perfect taste and keep
ing with the general excellence Of the
hotel. The furniture is suggestive Of
massive and certainly is a realization OF
comfort. Handsome side boards are piled
high with fruits, salads, CONNECTIONS and
pastries The windows have interior
shutters and are draped with lace curtains.
The ventilation is perfect and the light is
allowed TO stream into the apartment in
subdued rays that charm the senses. The
epicure may indulge his most fastidious
tastes to his hearts content without a fear
of that dread visitor dyspepsia. This
dining room has been the scene of many
large banquets and the many toasts that
have elected immortal responses would fill
volumes. The Occidental is the historical
headquarters of this city and is seen by all
for it is about the first place visited by
strangers.

The building is Of brick and most sub

Is designed with view to its appearance.
On close inspection one will observe that
its walls are unusually thick, and even the
partition walls are of brick A glance is
sufficient to satisfy anyone of the quality
of the workmanship and material. 1t is
safe to say the Occidental will be standing,
a monument to the astuteness of its pro-
jectorS, when many more modern build
ings shall be crumbling into decay.
