TAIL0R-MADE
C[0AKS
ARE WINNERS.

The Arcade ventured out
Of the usual course eaaly
this season and made ar.
rangements to handle ex-
clusively in this market,
Tailor-made Cloaks, and al
though it costs one dollar
extra on every garment to
have these cloaks cut and
made by tailors, the Arcade
was convinced that it would
more than pay as an adver-
tisement, and as a result the
Cloak trade Of the Arcade
this season has been far be
yond that Of any other
house in Wichita. In fact
nearly every lady you pass
on the street with an ele-
CANT fitting cloak on would
say, if you asked her, that
she purchased it at the Ar
cade.
If you still have not pur.
chased your Cloak come TO
to the Arcade this week and
got one.

5 dgwick county is so covered with
railroads that it IS impossible to get
more than five or six miles from a rail

Radiating from Wjchits are four great
trunk systems with ten different lines of

towns and stations Three fourths OF

are so conveniently situated between two
roads as to use either at will. There
cannot be any lack of transportation
facilities to the farmer who lives in
Sedgwick county, and his markets are
at his door, almost.
With all these advantages to attract
the enterprising farmer. there should be
no hard work needed to get the small
portions of unsettled Sedgwick county
land taken for farms and homes within
very short time.
And what is true Of Sedgwick county
is in most respects true of the seven adj
joining counties, Wichita the great central
market being within two hours run, by
rail, of the farthest point Of the territory
mentioned, giving the citizens of all por-
tons of this wonderful, this charmed
circle of fifty miles radius, the advan-
tages of residence Immediately adj
jancent to the principal market of the
state, both in selling and buying.
With all these advantages, therefore,
of fertility of soil, salubriousness of eli
mate, advancement in the work of pub
lie Improvements Chat have been paid
for as made and not entailing legacy
of debt to be paid by those who shall
succeed the citizens and taxpayers of to-
day., of the unsurpassed social and civil
privileges-the wonder is not so much
that current prices of realty are SO low,
but that there is a foot of land to be had
at any price. And it will not be long
before just that state Of case exists, when
the farm lands will be in the hands of
farmers exclusively, who will have their
permanent homes on their farms, and
who will till the ground and manage
their active farming operations for the
great profits to be made thereby, and at
the same time to get the fullest measure
of enjoyment and satisfaction out Of life,
to be had from such a source alone.

The old method of settling difficulties
between rival lovers down south, that is
according to the code duello, still OBJ
tains in some portion of that section.
There were two such affairs in Georgia
last week, in both of which one of the
combatants was killed. From the
standpoint of higher civilization such
acts seem barbarous. Nevertheless, there
are those who insist that it is a less
heinous crime to thus destroy a rivals
physical life than to do the assassin act
and detroy his good name and reputation
through lying and deceit

The Atlantic Constitution saws: "The

quietly working in the interest of Crisp

that through his influence and that of

1t really looks like Crisp will receive the
solid support of the money-bags interest

CHURCH ADJUSTMENTS.

Methods of church work were dis
cussed by the Episcopal congress recently
held in Washington, the danger of the
entertainment feature in church services
having been dwelt upon by one of the
speakers. There can be no doubt that
what is of itself legitimate attempt to
sustain or to increase interest in church
going has often been abused; yet this is
no argument against the use of any
agency which may help to bring good
fellowship and reach the great body of
the people. One of the great lacks in
church polity has always been the fail
ure to provide suitable entertainment for
the young members as they are received.
The usual custom has been and still is to
a considerable extent, good deal like
the practice of horse trader who, upon
purchasing a colt turns it into pasture
and leaves it to shift for itself. There
is this difference in favor of the traders
reason, however; he knows that the colt
will become wild and unruly and will
need to be "broke" when it is wanted
for service, while the church expects its
young members ito grow to the full
stature of men and women in Christ
without training or counseling or advice
or encouragement. And it is often dis
appointed in its expectations.

GOODBYE WALL STREET.

The papers of New Orleans are proph-
esying that their port will become the
greatest shipping port of the country
within the next ten years greater even
than New York. They say that the pro-
ducers in the northern states west of the
Ohio river and in the southern states
west of the Alabama river have found
out that they can ship grain, cotton and
pork to Europe from New Orleans more
cheapiy than from any other port. A
few days ago committee of the Kansas
Millers' association visited New Orleans
to make arrangements for exporting
Kansas -four to foreign countries by way
of that port at the rate of 1O,0OO,O 600 bar
rels year.

The Electrical Engineer announces
that estimates are now being prepared
for the conversion of one of the largest
street railways in New York city over
to the electric system, after the plan OF
Mr.. Edison. This seems to assure a
practical trial Of the new underground
system, which will do away with the
poles and wires now used Mr. Edison

a means Of electrical propulsion for cars
that should combine safety, speed and
economy, and he has no doubt that he
has hit upon the right device.

WHAT KANSAS DEMOCRATS
WILL DO.

The policy of the Republican party has
just commenced to make itself felt in
American affairs again, and who will
deny that times are not frightening IN
der the decreased imports of protection
and the increased exports of reciprocity?
Nobody. 1t took Cleveland's admins
tration fully two years to reverse the
high-tide of American prosperity, as it
has taken the Harrison administration
two years to put the country back on the
great highway Of success. The balance
of trade in favor of the United States for
the twelve months ending October 81
was S109 100000. This does not look
much as if the new tariff law had dam
aged our foreign commerce. The only
thing to be dreaded by America, by
all her industrial and commercial in
terests, is the ascendency of the
Democratic party throughEthe Alliance.
But IN states like Iowa, Minnesota,
the Dakotas and Kansas the average
Democrat is too intelligent to be
forced to sinking the Democratic party
into the Peoples ticket, whatever Demo-
cratic bosses may direct. 1t was seen in
Kansas at the late election that thousands
of Democrats rather than take any
chances for the election of Alliance men,
voted the Republican ticket. So in 1892,
if the Democratic bosses of this state at
tempt fusion with the Peoples party
thousands upon thousands of Democrats
viii vote for the Republican electors.

Brass Band Religion.
From the Arkansas City Democrat.

From the ARKANSAS ClIy DemOcrat.
We heard minister say from the pull
pit recently, that the trouble with the
church of today was that they had not
kept abreast with the world. 1.-THE devil
is making use of some things in this cam
paign that ought to be powerful weapons
in the hands of Christianity. If it takes
brass band to get the young people to
come to church and find the salvation OF
their immortal souls, brass band is pre-
eminently the thing to use. The world
progresses, and if it finds more to interest
it in a smiling, joyful face, it is not go
ing to catch hands with that which is
gloomy, morose and cold" We believe
that there is much food for thoughtful
young men and women who have the
good of the young at heart in the above
statement.

Paradoxical Poetry.

Fishes are weighed in their scales,
And an elephant packs his own trunk;
But rats never tell their own tales,
And one seldom gets chink in chunk.
Dogs seldom wear their own pants,
Which fact lays them open to scorn:
No nephew or niece fancies ants,
And a COW never blows his own horn.
A cat cannot parse its own claws,
No poreupine nibs its owr quill;
Tho orphan bears still have their paws,
A bird will not pay its own bill.
Sick ducks never go TO a Quack;
A horse cannot plough its own name;
A ship is not hurt by a tack.
And a window ne'er suffers with pain.
