kERA MES.

Up in the art department OF Cash Hen
derson's yesterday and the day before, the
blossoms of sprifg and the verdant
green of May, the sparkle OF April show
ers, and the gold of lingering sunsets has
been admired by passing groups OF feml-
nine critics; not in the original poetry OF
nature, but transferred to odd pieces of
china of white, opalescent purity.
These pieces of art, limned in delicate
lines and witching tints were the work of
Mrs. Ella G.. Shields class in decorative
china. Three tables were very prettily ar
ranged and the work displayed to good
advantage.
The first exhibit was some ice cream
dishes and small buffers by Mrs. Fred
Rush. These were all skillfully executed,
the coloring being particularly good. An
ice cream plate with a dash OF white
daisies was selected as the chef douvre OF
the group.
Mrs. G.. II. Laughiin came next with a
bevy of pretty conceits IN decorations.
The beauty of her work is greatly in
creased by the excellence of her drawing.
and the correctness of her lines. A fancy
plate with velvety pied pansies was here
the choice Of selection Of the best.
Some trays, tea plates and
buffers grouped in good taste
attracted attention. This was the work
of Miss Minnie McKibben. a good piece
of work was tray with row Of yellow
roses.
Miss Maude Pratt had set OF bread
and butter plates done in dehcate tints
! and gold which were the object OF
circle of admirers throughout the day.
They were very pretty.
/ Mrs w D. Sharpe's work was marked
( by very skillfully decorated set OF tea
plates with handsome initial - N the
| center of each. Some pretty little butter
dishes were noted, and tray which was
particularly admired.
| Miss Virgaline Lucy bad one o. the
prettiest displays OF decorated chIna that
| has ever been seen in the city. IL was not
large, but everything was marked with a
touch OF taste and artistic grace. lea
plates in flowers and scenic etects; a

A GREAT WEEK.

This has been great week a. the Stock
wards. The receipts OF hogs for the week
have been the largest OF the year, with the
exception Of week IN February. There
we're II. si4 hogs on sale during the week
The local packing house. consumed q
greater number than for any week Of the
wear. Prices have held Up remarkably
well. and though some OF the shippers felt
dissatisfied with the decline that has taken
place az this and the other leading markets,
all admit that wichita still holds the
honor OF paying higher prices than any
other market. One shipper last evening
was ccrn planning bitterly because prices
were only shade higher than at Kansas
Cit<. He couldn't see, he said, Why prices
shouldn't be l5g:o cents higher, - they
have been for the pas. few weeks
There Is bat little change n the volume
Of business in the cattle line The receipts
were $50 head. The packing houses have
done q very fair dressed beef business fol
the week. supplying most q the towns
surrounding the city.

THE WAY THINGS ARE LOOKING.

The mercantile trade of this city is not
only expanding but growing as to individ-
ual cases. This dealers not only readily
admit, but it is a thing that everybody
sees. Trade in all the retail lines is com
ing from greater distances. The head of
one of the great retail concerns Of the city
said this week that two-thirds OF bis trade
was with people who come to the city by
rail Especially is the increase marked in
the line Of dry goods, footwear, furniture
and carpets and in the clothing trade. No
such stocks in these lines can be found
west of Chicago and st. Louis, except at
Kansas City, and the stocks in the latter
place only rival and do not exceed those OF
Wichita People of all the more import
ant towns of central and southern Kansas
desiring finer house furnishings, later
STYLES and better goods than their own
merchants can afford to carry, are
learning that in style. quality and
price Wichita can equal Kansas City IN
either of these essentials. So they are
coming and SO Wichita's trade N these
lines is expanding, expanding IN most
gratifying way. being at least from 80 to
so per cent greater than il was last year,
the last per cent being named by prouni-
uent merchant as that shown By MS books
for the month OF April This ali being
true in the face OF the fact that our great
staple crop, corn, was largely failure
last year, and the crops of this year yet
undetermined. logically there must come

ent ruling prices, Wichita this fall VIII be
/ the IiveIiest and most prosperous city west
1 of the Missouri river as she IS undoubtedly
( that very thing today.

DOES THIS MEAN YoU?

1t seems strange that there are so many
people almost wholly Indifferent to the
public welfare and prosperity OF their own
city and town.
We have often been amazed 20 find the
most absolute want of public spirit among
some of our best citizens. Tney like to
see the town prosper, but never think OF
raising their voice or hand in behalf OF the
common welfare.
No good citizen should forge. that he

all untimely attacks In connection with
this. marble lavatory furnished in silver
plated trimmings, counts as one OF the
Injuries.
The warehouse is really the most in
teresting portion of the building. This is
large iron sheeted building 40 feet long
and "a feet wide. 1t has gravel roof and
is substantial and complete throughout. In
all the 10 feet, the whole side, next to the
tracks is one succession of doors that slide
upwards. This fixes it SO that no matter
where car may stop, it will be of easy ac-
cess, as is the case in loading. The side
for the teams and drays also has large
number Of doors for the same purpose.
The warehouse is always the scene of ac-
tivity, and large corps of warehouse
men being always busy. 1t IS
lighted by gas, and laDors in it do
not cease with the setting sun. 1t is
provided with two check offices and three
Fairbank platform scales that are IS true
as a dollar. Mr.. Parsons says that this is
the most complete warehouse be has ever
seen, and he has seen hundreds of them in
his time. South of the warehouse large
platform extends, at the end Of which is a
gigantic hosting crane which is Embedded
fifteen feet in pillar of rock and cement,
and will lift anything. A heavy iron cell
directed to the sheriff of Oklahoma county
had just been swung onto the platform,
with the ease Of gentleness and the light
ness of feather.
The tracks at the yard are an interesting
study. 1t is not generally known that the
yard was laid out from the plans and by
the directions of A. A. Robinson, general
manager of the Santa Fe system. The
| yards are said to be a model. Over four
and one-half miles Of track have been
added since last November, making in al
| over ten miles in the whole yard. The
construction is in this wise. Two leads
cross the yards with scale track between
them, so that four engines can work in the
same locality at once. The two tracks al
| the side of the warehouse facilitate the
matter so that sixteen cars can be loaded
at one setting This is done by putting
eight cars on each track and loading one
set through the open doors of the other
There is enough train tracks to accommodate
two hundred cars and the whole yard Is
marked with excellent system ant
Vaccination. Superintendent Parsons
not sufficiently satisfied with the beauty
of his charge, will next proceed to embell
ish the yard, which he will do by filling II
the low places and covering the whole
with rock spall.
Mr.. Parsons is very enthusiastic owe
his new quarters and careful or a casua
survey. either, will prove that his pride il
perfectly pardonable.

from Omaha last Friday. While there he
heard the cathedral choir render thrill
ing "Laudate Pueri" at vespsrs and re-
