to the depot to take the train for his home,
in Towanda, he was accosted near the
corner of Second and Water street by two
colored damsels of not very savory char
acter, if their actions are any guides.
They tried all sorts of schemes to work the
doctor Tor portion of his money and
finally began pushing and pulling
him about, when he left them
and went to the depot. When he got
on the train and was asked for his pass he
reached for his pocket book, which was
missing. He at once suspected what had
become Of it and, having the train stopped.
he notified Officer Sutton of his loss and
pointed out a couple of women who he
thought were the guilty parties. They
were arrested and taken to the police sta
ton, where they were locked up to await

WICHITA IN THE FUTURE.
Well Known Man Talks About Kansas an
Wichita

Hon. g. r. Archer, who came into the
city few days ago on business, is one of
| the heavy landowners of central Kansas.
As he is well known and prominent in a
number of counties, his opinions are
sought and people usually profit by his
advice.
''Oh, well, the wheat crop is simply i'm
mense; all up in good shape. a vast
| breadth was cut. True the excessive rains
shrunk the grain some. The corn crop is
very fine. Can't tell just what it will do.
| If we can get fair price for it, and if we
| can escape the trusts, combinations and
the wheat bears, we ought to receive
enough from this crop to pay two-thirds of
all the mortgage Indebtedness. l don't
think that there is or ever has been
| country that groaned so Justify
under the burden of immense crops as
Kansas does today. A travel of thirty
miles per hour through fields OF wheat
and past dwellings, fit abodes for the gods.
man is surprised with the facts that be
long to great people in great country,
at great time. The engine seems to
breathe the inspiration and chafes under
restraint and leaps forward at double
length at every revolution. You can re-
alize after wheeling up one hill and rat
ting down another in Missouri or Ar
kansas the instant you strike Kansas as
by the rapid, easy motion Of the train.
WHAT do you think of Wichita and her
future destiny? was asked. Wichita is
giant on the plains. 1t is wonderful to
contemplate what has been accomplished
here in so short a time" .D fre nd

century ago the buffalo and wild elk
grazed where now stands those colossal
blocks and palaces of brick and stone 1t
takes European cities three to five hundred
years to accomplish what this did in fif-
teen years, and yet people in other states
at times are disposed to turn up their
noses poke sticks at Kansas about going
back to the wife's people OF course they go
back to the their wife's folks, but to take
them something to eat and live on. True,
Wichita out growed the country and to
some extent became abnormal. Wichita
with her known enterprise and dash
should bend every energy towards turning
trade to Galveston. Wichita should be
the first great distributing center
north from Galveston, which by
nature has far more CONNER
cial advantages than Chicago. Galveston
should and will be the great commercial

chase, which is an empire within itself. 1t
