HOW THEY PROSPER.

Mr.. F. A. James. who lives near And
over. Butler county, was in the city yes
terday and paid off a loan of $500 that was
not due for nearly year vet. Mr.. James
said that it was money made the past year
in his business, and that he had no cause
to complain of Kansas He is an old set
tier, having located there in the fall OF
1870, and was one of the crowd who had to
wait five days on the west side of the river
here for the water to fall so he could get
back home from a buffalo hunt He
thought the Arkansas bottoms worthless
then. as they were mostly under water
The loan he paid off yesterday was made
by party who left the farm to engage In
speculation. end is now bewailing the fate
that has swallowed up the farm. and Is
among the number who curse the govern
ment that permits them 10 sell land once
given them by the said government and
engage in business they know nothing OK
with the avails of the sale. Mr.. James is
not the only successful farmer in that
community along the border OF Sedgwick,
who, by good management, have made
fine homes of the land they pre-enpted
and are now buying and paying for more
land yearly. There are no farms for rent
"a that locality and wheat is in fine condi-
ton

A BAD RUNAWAY.

Yesterday afternoon about $50 team
belonging to Geo. Bradshaw was being
driven on South Main, near the Wichita
and Western track, by Il. L. Chambers,
when they took fright at an electric car
and started to run. The breast straps
broke and the tongue of the buggy came
down. This caught in the ground and
threw the buggy over, spilling Mr.. Cham
bers out.
The team then ran up Main to Douglas,
and ran against carriage belonging to
Mr.. T. J. Menifee. who was driving east
on Douglas, completely smashing the car
rage and throwing the occupants, Mr
and Mrs. Menifee and little son TO the
ground. The boy received slight bruise
over the eve and was taken into Chas. Law
rence's drug store, where he soon recover
ed from the fright
The team was caught by the bystanders
and held unil the owner came up.

MORE PEOPLE COMING.

Mr.. Hale Cowley, of the state bureau,
returned from Canada and Michigan yes
terday afternoon accompanying a number
of people whom he located IN
Sedgwick county on his last trip. They
returned east loud in praise of the great
Arkansas valley and they not only come
themselves, but implore their friends to
come, emphasizing the fact that whatever
the reports may be or whatever eastern
papers may say of us that Kansas posses
ses more for the farmer than they can ever
hope for in the east. Strip our eastern
farmers of their buildings and whats left
wouldn't be worth fencing. But give Us
the lands of the Arkansas valley and they
look like house without even being
fenced. Mr. Cowley brought number Of
Canadians and Michigan people. we
would like to see more initiate this good
work

What Is and Is Not Perpetual Mot

AS is generally known. perpetual
motion machine is one 10 be moved by a
power furnished by the machine itself
and not from any source outside OF 1t.

rise and fall Of the tide Is not perpetual
motion. Neither is machine that runs
by the power ef terrestrial @ ssAW nag
nesisa, o. of The wind. or Il vasisaaens
IN the weight Of tho atmosphere, O. BY
electricity coming from outside Of the
machine, or by the force Of heat coming
from the sun. A wheel that could a.
ways of itself keep more weight At one
side than the other and thus turn &c
long as its materials lasted would be
perpetual motion, and such has been the
form of most Of the machines invented
for the purpose. Chicago Herald.

COL. STEWART RETIRES.

Col. Milton Stewart retired last night at
~ o'clock from the active management OF
the Hotel Metropolis and was succeeded
nv Nessrs. Keller 81 Young, who will con-
duct the house in the future.
Col Stewart gave his last supper last
evening, and had quite number OF his
friends in the city to partake of the meal
with him.
Col Stewart makes very good landlord
and the travelling public will greatly miss
his genial face and manners from the list
of bonifaces.
Other business arrangements made it
necessary, however, for Mr.. Stewart &c
give up the hotel business, and as his sue
cessors are well known to travellers no ma
terial change will be found in the arrange
meuts of the house.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKETS GRO WITH.

For the month just ended the receipts of
hogs at the Union Stock yards were 35,463.
For February of last year the receipts
were 1862, and for the corresponding
month of 1889. Q, 400 1t will be noticed
that the volume of business has been
more than doubled in the last year, and in
the past two years it has been almost
Quadrupled. Could a more fatterlng
showing than this be expected, even If 1T
was desireds This shows not only
steady growth, but a remarkably rapid
one. 1t is not necessary to go into specu-
lations as to what extent the market Will
develop in the future. 1t is enough to
say that every day there are shippers send
ing their stock here who had been ship
ping to ChiNago and Kansas City, and there
have been okders in the hands of buyers
here for morn hogs than were received,
while the local hackers have not been able
to secure near as many as they wanted dur
ing the mon h.
The receipts of hogs for the week were
1855, an increase over last week OF about
2, 600. The prices paid during the week
have been very near as high as Kansas
City, there being only difference of 21s to
cents. During the past three days one or
our packing houses has been compelled to
send to Kansas City for hogs to keep their
orders filled 1t will be apparent to
shippers of the surrounding country that
| they should market their stock here when
they can get as much for it as they can in
Kansas City, and, too, when there is such
| demand here.
| Cattle receipts were 59l. There is not
much change in the cattle market. 1t does
not vary much, more or less, from GER
tain amount of business, and for the mouth
of February for the past two years the re-
ceipts are about the same. But The mar
ket is growing, and is sure to make the
center for packing houses that will pack
the hogs for the great territory which
| Wichita is the metropolis of.

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
A Grocery and Butcher Shop on East Douglas
Consumed Yesterday Morning

At Cos yesterday morning. as the fire
brigade was taking final snooze and
dreaming sweet dreams of Annie Rooney,
the alarm rang out sharp from East Doug
las avenue, and sharp, short run was the
result. The fire which caused the alarm
was located in the butcher shop, 5l2, and
the blue front grocery, $40 East Douglas.
The fire originated in the back room OF
the butcher shop, and was caused by
gasoline stove that had been leaking, and
when fire was started in it it communi-
Gated to the floor and set the building
afire
The flames soon found their way
through the partition wall to the grocery
store owned by Mrs. \. d. Tewney, IN
which three boys were sleeping, namely:
John Dyer, Henry Gray and Willie
Peachin.
The boys, awakened by the smoke and
flames, had forethought enough to send in
the alarm by the telephone from the store.
The deartment frcm Stations l and 2
were soon on the scene and throwing
water The intense cold of the morning
made this hard task, but four streams
were soon playing on the fire, but the
DullOiiGS, DcliiS, Vi Mood dhu hiiOu "ANH
dirt, were as inflammable as finder.
The fire boys worked heroically and
many of them suffered from frozen ears
and fingers, but the fire spread to the fur
store of Peachin e. Sons, sos East Douglas,
before it was brought under control.
The stock of Frank Petry, Fulton mar
ket, was damaged considerably, but was
insured for $500.
The stock of groceries of Tewmey was
valued at about $1,000 or $1,000 and was
only insured for 81 900, The stock is al
most total loss, except some canned
| goods.
! The stock of Peachin & Sons consisted
| of secondhand furniture and hides and
| furs. This stock was almost total loss.
| No insurance.
The buildings were owned by Deacon
! Smith and were totally destroyed. but
were covered by a light insurance.
During the fire several of the Eremen
were in the second story of the building
with nozzle playing on the fire in the
roof, when the floor beneath them gave
way and they fell to the ground floor, Gov
cred with the falling debris which was all
on fire. One man was severely hurt in the
! back and hips, but all got ont awe al
though somewhat bruised.
Henry Colby and wife and Mr.. Brown
and daughter lived in the rooms over the
meat market and had a narrow escape,
barely saving themselves and personal
effects.
The boys who were sleeping in the gro
Gerry had so short notice that two OF them
had to rush out minus pants or shoes.
This is the most disastrous fire that has
occurred here for year past, and falls on
those who can i'll afford the loss.
Mr.. Peachin had a large quantity o.
pickles, chow-chow, chill sauce, ETC., OF
his own make, which he sayS were stoleI
as fast as taken from the building.
