THE ROCK ISLAND AGENTS.
VIII Stop for an Hour or Two this Morning
and VIII be Met at Depot by Citizens
With Carriages.

Last evening the party of Rock Island
agents making a trip over the line passed
through the city going south. The special
train followed the regular passenger train
and shortly after o'clock pulled into the
Douglas avenue depot. They will wake
up at Kngfsher this morning and after
an hour looking around there, will start
back, and it is estimated will reach Wich-
tia between 10 and ii o'clock this morning.
Last evening they were joined at the depot
by Mr.. G. A. Rutherford, city ticket
agent of the Rock Island, and on leaving
kingfsher he will wire the editor of the
EAGLE the exact time they expect to reach
Wichita for the benefit of the citizens
who will meet the party at the depot with
carriages. The board of trade directory
will act as entertaining committee
and have made arrangements for others
to join them to be able to
handle the crowd. The program can not
be fully outlined until the train arrives
and something of tbs wishes of the party
known. 1t is desired, if time will admit,
to show the party the leading features of
the city. They Will probably come down
Douglas avenue and up Main, take in
board of trade rooms. and, should there be
time, go to the north part of the city,
taking in packing houses and car works.
This program would allow the special
train to run up to the packing houses
where the party could go on board. 1t
does not matter, however, what the pro-
gram it, the visiting agents will get some
idea of Wichita.
