cutters were put in and the work of
paving commences with the excavation.
Large plows, drawn by four and six
horses, cut the surface to a depth of
twelve inches and the heaviest draft teams
are employed to haul away the now super
fuous covering The ground is then
leveled and smOothed and rolled solid by
the two immense steam rollers of the
Barber Asphalt company.
The work of making and putting down
the concrete is next in order. The local
quarries furnish all the crushed stone nee
essary for the work and the heavy draft
teams are again brought into requisitiOn
to haul it to the spot. This stone is mixed
with Portland cement in the streets into
durable and solid concrete base 4 cover
ing of two inch plank is first put down and
this is covered with five inches of concrete
.tamped down solid by heavy hampers and
the surface left even and smooth.
The cOlOFed gang does the mixing of the
concrete and place it on heplank covering
ready for the work of tamping. This gang
seems to find considerable pleasure in the
work, keeping its spirits up with an oc-
casional chant andfirmly believing that its
share is the easy part while the work is
done by the other fellows.
In several days after the laying of the
concrete and it becomes fairly set, thin
layer of soft asphalt is spread over it and
is what is termed the cushion coat. In
several hours this becomes firm and the
street is ready for the wearing surface
The compauy's teams haul this mixture
from the works while it is hot and in this
it is spread on at a depth of sew
eral inches at as high temperature as
possible Ii is next raked over smooth
and leveled to the exact grade of the street.
The surface is then smooUhed by

firm and solid mass. Before it has time to
cool thoroughly the two immense steam
rollers; also shown in the engraving, are
brought into requisition and the entire

A CINCINNATI CAPITALIST.
Comptroller Stevens Talks About Wichita's
Great Future.
sylvan beau

Hon. Edwin Stevens, comptroller of the
city of Cincinnati, whose arrival was not
ed in yesterday mornings EAGLE, made US
a pleasant call yesterday in company with
George L. Rouse, president of the board of
trade. AS Mr.. Stevens is a man of high
standing in the business circles of Cincin-
natl, being prominent figure on change,
and as we knew that he had been closely
watching and studying Wichita for three
or four years past, we asked him, the first
thing, how the city impressed him on this
visit. He replied that Wichita had had a
past, but that twas not worth abiding to,
much less worth talking about, when COM
pared to what her future as a real city
would be. He said that Wichita
is becoming a central figure of
the west in the minds of eastern
business men. AS for the capitalists,
and business men of Cincinnati, he was
frequently approached on the floor of the
Exchange building by individual members
with either inquiries of what he knew
about the stalwart young business metro
polls of Kansas, or with opinions and sug-
gestions touching bright future for this
city. He knew of several business men of

ton of visiting Wichita, with an eye to
business, this spring and summer naming
among others the head of one of the great
est enterprises of the west, who, he says,
is thoroughly convinced that he must
make this city base of operations for
vast territory, including the Rocky noun
tain district and the Gulf regions
Among other things observed by
Mr.. Stevens was his noticing the
twelve inch water mains on Douglas ave-
nue. He said the water company in the
course of a half dozen years would find
that they had great city to supply and
that their work would again have to be
done over. And so with all other matters
and interests pertaining to Wichita, he
said that it was in and of her inevitably
great future in the contemplation of, and
for which her people ought
only to think and work, RELOCATING the
past to the past as the days of small
things unworthy of further thought,
or even remembrance. In
short Comptroller Stevens seems thorough
y of the opinion that the Peerless Prin-
,ess' splendid future is too well assured TO
admit of even debate.

shower during the day, and can almost
notice the vegetable growth since his de-
parture in the morning. The great fields
OF grain bend more majestically in recog-
milton of the warm salute of the southern
wind, and the blushing fiowerets lift their
heads in glad smile of welcome.
Such routine of experiences can not
fail to implant in the breasts of all a strong
home feeling, and probably in no country
in the world does everything more gener-
ally conspire to promote and foster pride
| in and fidelity to the land so signally
blessed by the Creator. Strangers visiting
this part of the state are often prompted
to ask, what more can these people want?
As matter of fact, they want nothing
more, or, at all events, need nothing more
and if cOntentment finds a home on this
this mundane sphere, here is her-abiding
place.
The scope Of this article will only per
NIT glance at the long, shady avenues of
the residence portion of the city; the mag
nificent and home like residences and the
many surroundings that make a home
pleasant and desirable. Every afternoon
these avenues are more or less crowded

shady sidewalks are well patronized by
health seekers, and the pretty little babies
are trundled leisurly along in carriages by
their trim nurse girls
In the northern suburbs of the CITY the
sewer gangs are encountered, just complet-
ing one of the most thorough and perfect
systems of sewerage to be found any
where.
A drive out into the shady country roads
and across the magnificent stretches of
rolling prairie is out of the question
Suffice it to say that here the roads are
always good. So good that people never
fail to congratulate themselves with the
statement of the fact that Kansas has the
best roads to be found in the union
But to return to the business portion of
the city again one is soon mingling with
the same eager throng that he left an hour
ago. In spite of the evident hurry that
manifests itself in the gait and manner of
every pedestrian all take few moments
to watch the work of paving. The sub
Ject never seems to grow old or lose its
interest, and hundreds of spectators may
always. be found watching the putting
down of the concrete base or the smoothe
surface of the asphaltum.
The streets were all brought to grade
when the cement and stone curbings and

famous in Kansas for whetting the appe-
tlte and sharpening the ideas.
Last but not least, nor noticed least or
last, the genial spring weather has invited
the ladies TO the main thoroughfares of the
city TO do their inevitable shopping Their
presence on the streets has lent an air of
beauty to the busy scene, and what citizen
has not felt proud of his heritances Their
aristocratic mien and beautiful costumes

the police have been busy assisting the

An occasional April shower that pre-

streets and only transforms the surging

dainty female gathers her rich draperies
gracefully about her ankles and under the
kindly shelter Of sun shade and umbrella

travel.
In few moments the sun breaks forth
again. the shower is over, and the cool re

ANOTHER FOR WICHITA
"The Cereal Manufacturing Company
to Confer With the Board Of Trade
for Location.

The object of the above corporation viii
be the manufacture of all kinds or food
products from Kansas grain. There Is a
great variety of cereal food that finds a
place on our tables, but only small por-
ton of ii is manufactured in Wichita or of
Kansas grain.
The annual increase in the consumption
of oat food in its various forms and the
different preparations of wheat and corn
prove conclusively that the people are
making a study of hygiene, and are giving
the preference TO the cereals rather than
the heavier animal foods, and, in conse-
quence, are Kidding themselves Of the nor
rors of indigestion, dyspepsia and kindred
ailments and enjoy instead more buOyancy
of mind and vigor of body than under the
old regime.
1t would seem therefore, that the Cereal
Manufacturing company would be sue
cess from the start. The location of this
industry in Wichita would prove boon
TO the city at large and to every citizen
individually
The various buildings required viii cover
considerable ground to accommodate the
receiving and storing of wheat, corn, oats,
rye, etc, that viii be brought in car loads
and for shipping the manufactured product
throughout the country.
Among the buildings required, exclusive
of the engine and boiler rooms and the
main building for machinery, will be

facture of cooperage for that portion OF
the product to be shipped to the south in
barrels. A department for the manu-
racture of boxes and paste board packages
for grocers shelf goods. Buildings for
Smelling corn, cleaning grain and prepar-
ing it by the kiln drying process 10 make
it keep in any climate, etc.
The gentlemen at the head of the enter
prise are figuring on a site and we hope
that our board of trade may locate them

CARPETS AND CURTAINS.

No such collection of new and beautiful
designs in carpets has ever before been seen
IN this city as we are now displaying The
extreme lowness Of price which charactcrizes
all goods in this department is also an item of
great Importance
We have large selection of choice designs
in lace, chenille, silk and brocatelle curtains,
at prices to suit one and all, and this week we
are going to make some deep cuts in this de-
partment.
Look at the Cambria Embroideries and
Swiss Flouncings in our north window. You
will wonder how we can sell such beautiful
goods for SO little money, but our way of do
ing business is the cause of it. Buying for
spot cash and selling the same way is the
reason Of our success.
