IN FINE SHAPE.

Harry Walsh. travelling representative
of Dun's commercial agency of this city
returned yesterday after an extended trip
through southern Kansas and Oklahoma.
Mr.. Walsh's particular business is to as
certain the commercial standing of the
merchants and to guage the prospects,
and it is needless to say that he found
everything In the most excellent shape.
He is shrewd, keen-sighted and expert
enced man. and his opinion carries with it
considerable prestige, otherwise, such a
responsible institution as Dnn's would not
have him. He told a reporter last night
that 1.-THE trade" in his district is in the
most satisfactory condition, that generally
speaking the merchants are in more
prosperous condition than they been in
years, that business Is healthy and grow
ing. and that the prospects ahead are In
the most excellent shape. This he basis
on the excellent crops of southern Kansas.
From Harry's report there is less excuse
for calamity talk now than at any time
during the past five of six years.

WICHITA LoosEs A GAME
Charlie Evans is Ba ted Hard by the Cyclone
City Siuggers

About twenty people witnessed yester-
day afternoon at Riverside park the pref
tiest game of the season between Yelling
ton and Wichita. IL was battle royal and
victory perched on the banner OF the boys
from the Cyclone city only after the last
hand was out in the last half of the ninth
inning When johnson of Wichita went
to the bat in the last half of the ninth
inning the score was to z, two men were
out and Hunt was at third ready to bring
in the tieing run. johnson hit to short
and was thrown out.
Tie management is discouraged with
the poor support it has received
during the last few weeks.
rain and poor attendance have diminished
the gate receipts. Yesterday only few
persons witnessed the game. IL Was the
same the previous day yet these two clubs
are playing great bali and are very near
even on victories won. Wellington can
draw better crowd in one day than
Wichita can all week yet the patrons ex-
pect the town to keep winning team.
Charlie Evans was in the box yesterday
for six innings and nine hits for ten bases
were made off of him. Johnson finished
the game In the DoX anu came very near
pulling it out of the lire.
Oryille Frantz was particularly vicious
with the stick and made four hits out of
five times at bat.
The score was 10 when the last half
of the ninth inning was reached. Borland
started off with a single and Woodcock
went out on fly to first. Lauck sent Bor-
land to third by hit to left
field and Reynolds scored him
with another hard one. Roy Evans drove
a long fly into the left fielder's hands, max
ing the second out. With two men on
bases Morey came to the bat and hit safe.
Hunt did likewise, and four runs in all
were in and Hunt was at third, when
Johnson failed to make the necessary hit.
1t was exciting and the few persons pres
ent cheered until il sounded as if hun
dreds were there.

CHERRYvALE's Loss wIoHIrA's GAIN

The Cherryvale Republican speaking
about the removed of SUahl g. Gathers CT
gar factory from that city to Wichita has
the following to say:
In February, 1887, W. H Stahl and u.
w. Gathers formed a partnership for the
the manufacture of cigars i'll Cherryvale,
Six people in all, Including "strlppers"
constituted the entire force, both mem bers
of the firm working at the bench. The
capital of the firm at that time WAS not
more than thousand dollars. By close
attention to business, this establishment
has gradually but surely grown year by
year, until it is the largest cigar factory
in the state. employing about fifty people
and with working capital OF go, 900.
Besides their own success, they have done
more to advertise Cherryvale than any
firm that has ever located in the city. so
far, SO good. But now comes the un-
D easant part OF il. This morning at D
ocloc k, the factory and its apurtenances,
all excepting the building in which 1T was
located, was shipped to Wichita on Il
special train on the Gulf. The train con-
sisted of five freight cars and one passen-
ger coach, and about sixty people less
make Cherryyale their home in conse-
queuce of the change To say tn at our
people are sorry to lose such an ms t1tutlon
does not give full expression, but the best
wishes of all go with them.

A LARGE CONCERN.
Move on Foot to Start an Immense Depart
ment Store in wichita

Two gentlemen from Fort Scott aud
| one from Topeka were in the city yester-
| day on business mission that will proba-
bly, result in an immensely large CONNER
cial institution in Wichita Very little
could be ascertained of their plans in de-
tail, but it is said they received the most
favorable encouragement here aud that it
is almost positive the deal will be COM
pleted. IL appears some bright minds in
the third party movement have conceived
an idea TO start out in commercial enter
prise something similar to the Alliance
stores that were started all over Kansas
few years ago. One will be started in Fort
Scott, Salina and Wichita, but Wichita will
probably be the largest. The plans are to
commence here with capital of at least
$4,000 and TO carry everything from
needle to suit Of clothes, the store to be
run on the department plan. The three
gentlemen named are willing to put 50, 900
in the enterprise, and the balance of the
capital TO be taken up In shares by the
Populists The store will carry stock of
nearly 500, 900, which the managers of the
enterprise think they can do on paid up
capital of $50, 900. Their idea is to get as
many as possible of the Populists into it
by making the shares small, and then to
sell the shareholders their goods at small
proft-smaller. they claim, by handsome
per cent than the regular merchants are
selling them. OF course in order TO get this
enterprise up the men at the head are
claiming that the business men are now
charging exhorbitant profits and that the
people are being robbed by them. In fact
the same middle men" argument is pro-
duced that is usually made in the average
reform speeches. They met several men
yesterday who are engaged in the reform
movement who pledged them that the
enterprise will be backed in this valley and
that all they have to do is to open their
books for stock. They have also urged the
idea that the scheme will strengthen the
third party as many men will join it in
order to have the privilege of becoming
members of aud have the low price privi-
leges of the cooperative firm. The gentle
men left last night for Salina, promising
to be back here again next Tuesday.
