a Santiago Ccntenarian VINO
Looks Only Thirty-five Years
Old.
Globe Democrat
Living in Santiago, Chill. is an ap-
parently woman of thirty-five, rather
good looking, spry as a girl, and pro-
nounced coquette. yet it is known posi-
lively that she is eighty years of age
and may be much older She has
granddaughter who looks old enough to
be her mother. This remarkable wo-
man Is of Spanish extraction, native of
Peru, and her name is Bockman,
her second huSbJnd, now dead, being
German. Middleaged people aver
that she was grown woman when they
were children, and that she does not
look Gay older now than she did then.
She is regarded with SuperStitiouS awe
by the more ignorant of the natives,
over whom she could undoubtedly exer-
else great influence were her morals not
| so VIGOROUSLY bad. She is passonately
fond of dancing, has musical voice.
swapping black eyes, and beautiful
set of teeth.
She claims that she owes her wonder
full preservation to a charm which an
old half-breed Indian doctor exercised
over her when she was child. She
says she will neither grow old nor die
! until the charm is broken. Some of the
natives express the belief that she is in
league with the devil. She got into an
alteration with young woman not
long ago and cut her seriously, but the
latter was afraid to enter complaint
against her, lest she should exercise
some baleful influence over her. 1t is
said that she has many admirers, and is
soon to be married to young Gillian
of considerable wealth.

CAPTAIN wHARRY WATCHED.

Yesterday afternoon at the courthouse.
while the storm without made everybody
feel the gloom that pervaded everything,
there was gathered in the private Office of
register of deeds happy company of men
-grey-haired men-every one of whom
had withstood the shock of battle during
the days when giant rebellion grasped the
throat of the nation. They were there to
meet Captain James Wharry of Ashland,
Kan, and to witness the presentation of a
handsome 15-jewelled gold watch to the
grand old soldier who commanded Mr.
Barrett's company during the war.
The presentation speech was made by
Senator Bentley in his usual impressive
manner Captain Wharry's frame shook
with emotion as he replied in fitting
words from the great heart that swelled
with pride as he referred to the days when
he and Barrett were serving their country
on the battle field. AS the two soldiers
grasped each others hands, tears filed
their eyes, and then the boys all cried.
The inscription is as follows: Present
ed to Capt. Jas. Wharry by Comrade S. L.
Barrett -

A very prominent citizen of Paramount
made his entire family 60 to the cellar
Thursday night during the storm. declar-
ing there would be cyclone. He had his
wife take chairs down and make beds on
them for the children, and even went Sc
far as to remove the dining room furni-
ture, fearing it would fall on them. He
then put out the light, and. with his wife,
sat waiting the cyclone which failed to
appear But when he finally decided there
would be none. he began scolding his wife
for being so foolish as to be frightened at
such little wind. but when his S-yeat old
baby began teasing him ne said he had not
been frightened at all, and told all his
children that the first one who mentioned
ii at school next day would get sood
licking.
And, now, every time the storm is men
toned he says he slept so soundly that be
did not even hear the wind.

EVERYBODY IS SEEING 1T.
Assuring Indications ana W arranting Facts no
Longer Deniable.

That Wichita is once more conscious OF
her strength and Importance as leading
| factor in the financial and commercial
affairs of the state of Kansas, and OF the
Southwest, cannot be denied. The results
of the reaction of period of over specula-
ton and consequent depression are no
| longer problematical The proof of her
| superior location and the test Of her fit-
| ness to survive as a great trade center
were undeniably severe. but the favorable
elements and advantageous environments
responsible for her existence in the first
place have proved superior to every dis
aster and to all discouragements, and
this past winter and spring have not only
renewed hope, but established faith
with even the most skeptlcai
and timid. 1t would be no slight task to
enumerate the numerous evidences and
substantial proofs of the satisfactory fact.
They are to be found on every side, ami
mating every line of business and branch
of trade, to be seen in the increasing life of
her streets, in the rise in rents, and the
difficulty of securing desirable properties,
in the weekly increase of the bank clear
ings. and in the growing surplus of bank
deposits 1t is undeniably true that
Wichita today is in better condition finan-
cially, that she is more solidly forging
ahead and is more hopefully, all around,
maintaining her prestige than any city in
the west. So prominently evident are
these things that anxiety as to present
and ultimate values no longer exercise
property owners, and eastern investors
daily become more numerous in the office
of the real estate agent. In short, the
field of Wichitas opportunities is not
only being developed and growing in
richness, but broadening and widening
into almost limitless possibilities, and the
conservative opinion is being daily ex-
pressed that, barring unforeseen disasters,
every value pertaining to the city will
be doubled within five years. OF
all the countries within the
bounds of the United States there
are none so vast, so rich and full of promise
for the immediate future as Southwest
Kansas and the lands lying along the bor-
der of the Indian Territory; so, as certain
ly as that the seasons with their rain and
sunshine continue to come and go, just so
certain is it that corresponding greatness
awaits its chief market and trade center,
a greatness that is no less seen in all her
