THEY ALL SAY SO.

The travelling inspector for the express
service who was in the city day before yes
terday in talking to the secretary of the
Board of Trade. Remarked: 1.-THE world
is going to get onto the fact, and that be-
fore long, that Wichita is the most ener-
getic and busy city of its size in the entire
country, and that her ever forward atti-
tude means something more for her and
for her future than is realized by the aver
age inland city of thirty or forty thousand
people" He went on to say; II travel all
over this country and know something of
the towns north, south, east and west. but
l only know one Wichita, which is as
much wonder under the cloud that has
dampened the ambition of all western
cities as she was wonder in u boom in
which she led all the rest" He concluded
with, "look at the number of express
wagons run in this city look at the life of
your streets and tell me where is there an
other town of twenty-five thousand people
which makes such a showing' There are
none. Wichita is 10 be great city and
her property people of today
will be her future wealthy men. am a
defender and champion of Wichita wher-
ever go, but she only has enemies among
the prejudiced aud envious OF greater
cities "

THAT SEWER DAM BUSINESS.

The EAGLE has said nothing touching
the report or proposition for the city to
pay $50. 900 per year for maintaing the dam
at the head Of the race, from the fact that
we were satisfied that it would never go
through in any such shape. But as the
matter is liable to come up again tomor-
row night there can be no harm in saying
that aggregated opinion is squarly against
it, as it ought to be. A row OF strong oak
railing and little brush will form all
the check to the flow necessary to an
abundant supply of water for sewage pur-
poses and such q check or dam would
prove permanent, at least at very small
annual outlay. Besides there was origin
ally deeds or condemustions covering all
the rights if we are not greatly mistaken.

PRESS CLUB CONVENTION.
New York City to Send Eleven Represen
tatives to the Gathering.

New York City to send Eleven Represen-
tatives to the Gathering.
A dispatch from New York says that the
Press Club of that. city has voted unani-
mously to send II delegates to the Inter
national Press Club Convention to be held
in Pittsburg. Among those who will come
are Foster Coates,s managing editor of the
Mail and Express; Eugene Berri, proprietor
of the STANDARD Union, of which Murat
Halstead is editor; Charles w. Price, of the
Electrical Reuie,O; Major McElroth, propri-
etor of the american Annaiist; j. A. Hen
messy, correspondent; Leon N. Salmon,
editor of the Sporting World; William Il.
Worrail, associate editor of the Mail and
Express and j. j. Hanway, Chairman OF
the Board of Trustees OF the Press Club.
The New York Press Club is the fifteenth
organization that has accepted the invitation
to send delegates to the convention. This is
exclusive OF the seven German press clubs,
which will be represented by the general
Offices of their national organization. Ow-
ing to weeks delay of the European mail
at New York the call for the convention
was too late in reaching the Berlin and
Vienna press clubs for the election OF dele
gates by those organizations. AS previously
stated, however, the famous Paul Lindau,
who will probably reach this country in
time for the convention, may represent the
Berlin club. A Aresponse from the London
Press Club is expected this week.

NARROW LASTS FOR CHICAGO.

A Drummer Claims Big Feet Always Exist
in HiIly Localities - Shoes Made to
Adapt the Topography of the Country
Where Pittsburg Comes in.
81 want to tell you some peculiarities
about the fee: of people living in different
localities" said drummer of leading
Boston shoe house at the Anderson yester-
day. "Our people have made a study Of
tine feet, and we make a different shaped
shoe for the Pittsburg trade than we do for
Chicago.
"a joke is joke and il sticks. The St
Louis women are known for their big ears
far as Chicago is concerned the joke
won't apply. My experience has been that
outside of the length Of the foot, which av-
erages about the same in all cities, the Chi
cago people wear a narrower shoe and take
up less foot capacity than any other people
in the country.
81 will explain WHY. In Chicago there is
grade of only two feet In 169 miles. The
surface is almost level, and when you walk
on the streets of that city the foot comes
down fat and does not spread out.
In cities like Pittsburg and Boston,
where there are heavy hills and surface
Irregularities, the foot works forward, some.
times backward and on the sides to adapt
itself to the surface of the ground. What
is the result? The ligaments and the mus
cles toughen, and the natural consequence e
is that the loot grows larger and its shape
changes. Like the boy who runs barefoot
during the summer, his feet became SO en-
larged that he can't wear his old shoes in
the fall. 1t is fact that we make broader
shoe for our Boston trade than we do for
Chicago, and shape that would suit
the customers in one city will not
do for those in another. You sespmy boy,
there is more science about the shoe busi-
ness than you imagine. Men who have been
raised in the saddle like The Indians and
herders have long, narrow feet. Itwould be
great mistake to make shoes on a broad
last for them. On the same principle the
Indian who has never done anything except
handle rifle has long, tapering hands and
fingers. After all, you newspaper fellows
must take back that big ieet' joke on Chi
cago, and give the palm to the people who
live in hilly cities.
'The shoe manufacturer who doesn tstudv
the locality in which his buyers live and
tails to adopt the shape to the topography of
the country, will not make a reputation for
producing an easy fitting SHOE: For people
on the prairies we make narrow shoes
broader ones for those living in hilly dis
tricts"
