A NEW ENGLAND CAPITALIST.
A Glimpse at the Country AIlays All His Fears
and He Goes Home Happy

Colonel Titus of Newport, R. L, and Mr.
Perrigo of Kansas City have been spending
few days at Wichita and left for their
eastern homes last evening very much
pleased. in fact delighted, with what they
have seen here. They are both largely in
terested in the Lombard Mortgage com.
pany. This was Colonel Titus first visit
to Kansas, but it will not be his last for,
in the parlance OF the day. he is mashed
on the Peerless Princess. He thinks it is
the most remarkably progressive city he
had ever seen and could hardly compre-
hend how a city Of its character could
spring from the ground in twenty years
until he saw the surrounding country, and
then it all seemed plain enough to him.
He spoke very freely and con6dentially to
Mr. Bristow with reference TO the country,
and he candidly admitted TO him that the
praises of Southern Kansas were only half
sung. He was so pleased with Sedgwick
county that he wanted to see still more Of
the Southwest and accordingly drove
down into Sumner Harper and Kingman
counties. Everywhere he turned his eyes
they rested on evidences OF pros
perity and comfort He never before
in his life had a full comprehension
of the agricultural resources OF Kansas
until he made the trip. Stacks upon
stacks of wheat greeted his eye every
where, corn in bins, in the fields, in heaps,
and in the ear, be could see everywhere,
while punches of fine, fat cattle romped
and gamb led at every turn of the road.
And then the farm houses, the school
houses and the white painted churches,
that dotted the prairie everywhere, in
spired him with new species of admira-
tioa for the state that is being villi6ed
throughout the length and breadth of the
eastern states by PETER. Simpson and the
other men of their stripe. Cal Titus says
the speeches made by these men, in which
they draw horrible pictures of the distress
of the farmers of Kansas, have caused
distrust among the financial men of the
east for the present, but thinks they will
ultimately result in good, for they have
inspired New England men, who have
financial interests in Kansas, to come here
and look at the state, and that ninety-nine
out of every hundred men who will come
here in this way will be so much disap-
pointed that they viii return with 10
fold greater confidence than they had be-
fore the calamity cry was raised. For his
part he returned home fully satisfied that
every dollar he had invested in Kansas is
as safe as if it was locked up in the Bank
of England.

CHILDREN,S HOME.

Yesterday Thomas Tracy Of Augusta
formally adopted from the home boy
named Charles Carter. He had the boy
under his guardianship for the past two
years, and became so attached to him that
he concluded yesterday to take upon him
self all the responsibility of adoption.
Walter S. Lawrence of Eureka adopted
boy from the home yesterday and felt so
go over it that he made the home pres
eDt of IS for the good of the cause. Mr..
Lawrence is a banker and being a very
kind hearted man, the little fellow is in
luck His name is Frank Preston.
The home needs just $50 more to pay off
its Indebtedness, and the management is
in hopes that the young men of the city
who have taken such an interest in it will
enlist enough more young men in the
cause to pay off the entire Indebtedness.

FINANCIAL MATTERS.

The secretary Of the board of police COM
missioners has notified the mayor that the
board is now ready TO turn over to the
city the sum of IS. 600, which they have on
hand. to spare, after paying the police for
the month of October. The total amount
they had on hand previous to paying the
police was 81, 800, and the sum paid out
was 81. 200 so there is yet $500 in the
treasury. After turning over $1,000 they
will have on hand 5000 which, when add
ed to uncollected fees, will be sufficient to
pay the police for the comming month at
so. The board are setting themselves
down to good financial policy and by the
first of January they will have another
handsome sum to turn over to the city
treasurer which will materially tighten
the burden of the taxpayers.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL REVIVAL

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL REVIVAL.
Rev. Shawhan took his text last night
| from Zacariah 9-12. His theme was
Christ. the Stronghold"
The early meeting of the Epworth league
and the service of song and praise and the
unusually sweet solo singing OF Mr..
Shaver had prepared the large congrega-
tion that had gathered to listen with rapt
and prayerful attention. The proposition
running thro9sh the sermon was that in a
certain and id brtant sense man is as
| strong or as weak as that which he "ties"
to. Tue man who steps aboard a palace
car is stronger than the man who relies
upon the stage coach; the man who takes
his stand on principle is a tower of
strength compared with the man whose
guiding star in life and business is
expediency. These great truths were am
plified aud driven home by repetition and
illustration till the vigor. the inspiration,
the elevated plane of thought of the
preacher were perceptibly felt by the con-
gregation. Suddenly the speaker brought
himself face TO face with his previously
announced topic, and asked the question,
what has this TO do with the unpardon-
able sin?' Proceeding TO explain his view
of this mysterious though solemn doc
trine, Rev. Saawhan said that every sin,
great or small, is stab at and weakener
of the will; that every contest with
temptation in which the victory is on the
wrong side permanently robs the will OF
its native power of resistance
and choice, so that sooner or later there
viii come, or may come in the experience
of every man, a time when he cannot, or
at least will not, choose to resist sin and
accept and embrace Christ. Coming to
this point is to commit the objectionable
sin. 1t thus follows that every sin COM
mitted is contribution, large or small, as
the case may be, toward the commission
of the one objectionable sin of coming in
TO or inducing a permanent antagonism to
God and salvation. Whether this view
will or did commend itself to all, or not,
its presentation was listened to with bated
breath and solemn silence.
That somewhere along this line there is
a point of great danger, and that it would
not pay to face ii, attempt TO ignore ii,
was thoroughly apprehended by the con-
gregation.
Many hearts were stirred to action; the
number who arose for prayers was large,
and the Christians were active throughout
the congregation. The altar service was
peculiarly solemn, as old and young were
kneeling together seeking the gracious
gift of salvation.
There will be special service today at 8
p M, conducted by the evangeiists Shaw
han and Shaver, and all are invited. Ser
vices as usual tonight at lis and at 7;45.

FoR THE POOR CHILDKEN.

Yesterday bags were delivered to all the
school children in the city in the interest
of the Children's Home and today these
begs will be brought back filled with the
offerings of the children. The children
were tickled over the enterprise and it is
safe to say that many a youthful brain
was active last night figuring out what
would be the most suitable thing to offer
to their unfortunate little brothers and
sisters at the home. 1t will be Thanks
giving offering and from the interest
manifested in it By the children it will be
entirely worthy of the little children of
Wichita.

KANSAS, NET; WIGHT, NET.
A Boom Estimate and the Facts in verlncatior

The president of one Of the largest man
ufacturing trusts of the country, last week,
said to prominent banker of St. Louis,
who in turn repeated it to a member of the
Board of Trade of this city, There is more
outcome to Wichita, Kansas, proportion
ately, than to any city in the west or in
| the south"
In verifcation of the above estimate,
which was given expression in the city of
St Louis by an eastern capitalist, without
any expectation that any one interested in
Wichita would ever hear it, we note down
the following facts cognizant to every OBJ
servant resident of this city:
October and November, thus far, this
yesr, have been the best months, from
business standpoint of any in three years.
Rents have advanced 10 per cent. in the
last ninety days.
More goods were sold at retail last Sat
urday in this city, than for any single day
within the year 1891.
The Wichita banks have a greater
amount of deposits than at any time with
in two years
A greater number of substantial people
are becoming residents of this city at this
time, than of any other city in Kansas.
There were fewer failures in Wichita of
business men during the past three years
of depression, proportionately, than in any
city in the west.
A greater number of men desiring in
vestments are looking around Wichita
than at any time within three years
A greater number of farms are selling
now than at any time in the past five
years.
A greater number of eastern investors
and of people generally are thinking about
and speaking well of Kansas and of Wich-
ita than at any time since the boom days,
if not than ever before.
Nothing has ever more advantageously
advertised Kansas than the 60,C00 900
bushels of wheat harvested the past season.
Nothing in a political way ever re-
bounded more 10 the stability of Kansas
than the news of the defeat of the Alli-
ance
No state in the Union has so favorable
an Quito k for big crop of wheat next
year AS Kansas.
Kansas is. net, the best state in the
Union and Wichita is, net, the city of the
best prospects.

THE BOYCE CASE

The common pleas court was yesterday
enlivened during the trial of the case of
Benjamin Boyce against the St. Louis and
Sau Francisco Railway company, by bit
Of repartee between Senator Bentley, who
appeared for the plaintiff, and Fred Bent
lev. who appeared for the railway COM
psny. This case has been on trial since
Friday last Ii has been very stubboruly
contested by counsel and q cloud of wit
nesses have been ex mined on both sides.
1t relates to the overflow of Chisholm
creek during the high water of 1890 81, as
the plaintiff claims. occasioned by excava-
tions made by the section men ia the
banks of Chisholm creek. aud the water
being high. passed out through the bitches
and flooded the crops of the plaintiff on
land north or the creek, which is lower
than the banks of the creek
Other cases are pending, and the railway
company is making a test case OF the
present cause. Ii viii be remembered
hat this case WAS tried last term before
Judge Balderston and jury, and after
the jury were out six days and six nights
they came into court disSgreeIug only as
20 amount Que of the jury received n
stirring rrprimand from Judge Bafierston
on that occasion. Tue svl lence was closed
IN the case yesterday at noon, and after a
careful aud very elaborate charge to the
jury by his Honor. Judge Balderston,
nearly all OF the remainder of the after
noon was occupied by counsel in arguing
the ctse. AT about ?. m. yesterday the
Jury retired 10 make their verdict, with
iort y-uine special questions submitted 10
them by Fred. Beull leg, counsel for the
raj way company. Tue large number of
special findings asked by tne railway coun-
sci, caused some rather sarcastic com
menIs on the part OF Senator Bentley AT
tue hour of going TO press the jury are

HOUSE BREAKERs AT WORN.

Burglars tried to enter Harry Piper's
cigar factory night before last. They
raised the window about eight inches, but
owing to the fact that the wooden frame
was swollen they could not raise it
high enough to gain admission through it.
Harry thinks they were boys. and if not
boys he thinks they were amateurs at the
work. He has put bars up before the win
dow and has armed the man that sleeps in
the factory with revolver, and woe be
unto the man or boy who tries to enter
there again.
