The Commercial Club OF Kansas City MIKE 4
short stop---Received at Board Of
Trade and by the Core
IrrIa

On Tuesday the Board of Trade wired an
invitation TO the Commercial club at Kan
sas City TO make stop at Wichita. The
club was down in Texas, having left Kan
sas City on the 18th inst. for trip in
Northern Texas and the Indian Territory.
The club had not intended to come north
by way of Wichita, but on receiving the
invitation it was accepted, aud IN answer
stated that they would reach Wichita at
$50 last evening. An effort was
made to get them here before
that late hour. hoping they
would have a chance to see something OF
the city before dark The Santa Fe men
said they would try and make better time
and the special train might arrive by p.
m, but they were unable 20 shorten the
time, aud 50 announced at noon yester-
day.
Tue board of trade selected the follow
ing gentlemen as a committee OF reception
to meet the distinguished commercial
visitors at the depot: George l.. Rouse, H.
l.. Pierce. VI. NJ Murdoch, A.
". Oliver, A. 7. Carpenter, Geo
II. Blackwelder, e. W. Clement
+. W. Oliver. J. Z. Allen, NJ J. Oliver
George l.. Pratt, George Cross, VI. ".
Levy, y. f. Niederlander ". T. Carey,
i. D. Skinner. The committee was at the
depot in waiting with carriages when the
special pulled into the Santa Fe depot. The
visitors were soon in carriages ANA were
brought down Douglas to Main and north
on Main TO Park and back by way Of Mar
ket to the Board OF Trade. Most OF the
visitors had been in Wichita before, but
some Of them had not, and they were the
victims of the most surprise. Ihey
had not been given a chance 20 see much
of the city but indeed quite enough OF the
business center to warrant the conclusion
that some how there was quite city very
near the vicinity. They were surprised at
the number OF people on the street, and at
the magnificent business blocks II was
quite easy TO conclude that there was a
foundation for the clever showing IN the
clearing house report every week.
