a BIG GRAIN ELEVATOR.
wichta's Claim Recognized, Her Opportunity
Coming,

For years the EAGLE has urged the
necessity of elevators for handling the i'm
mense amount of grain tributary to Wich-
tia. Recent articles in the EAGLE have
shown that over (G0. 600, 000) thirty million
bushels of wheat is tributary to Wichita,
to say nothing of corn and oats. No such
a condition of things exist any where on
earth, where city of 10000 people has so
much grain produced within as short
distance from it as has Wichita. While the
EAGLE has devoted columns of space in
placing those facts before its readers 1t
has also claimed that the natural market
for our graiu products was not Chicago or
the east, but that our grain bad nearer
and better market south and southeast.
For years some of our prominent board
of trade men have worked with capital
lists in all the large market centers, and,
while the logic of their arguments have
been universally acknowledged to be
sound, no one could be found
to take the initiative step
towards building elevators at this point.
Yesterday morning some twelve or fifteen
prominent men met in the board OF trade
rooms and were introduced to the repre-
sentative of some eastern capitalists who
made a statement to the effect that he had
been sent here to look up location for
large elevator aud that they proposed to
have it ready for the next crop;
that the parties he represented real
when the grain of this section must be
handled at some central point here. All
the encouragement asked of our people
was readily guaranteed This is but the
initial step. Others will be brought to
see that local inspection and direct haul,
either to the gulf ports or to southern
states Tor consumption, demands that
a great grain market must be built
here. There has been but one single
reason or obstruction standing in the way
of great central grain market Tor all
southern Kansas at Wichita, and that has
been Chcago's interests which up to the
present have been conserved as against
southern and southeast shipments by
freight manipulations, and by that only.
This is what has beaten Wichita
out of her natural advantages and
rights 1t had been hoped lately
that this difficulty of the past would
be removed through the good offices and
fair action of the new state administra-
tion. But that hope has failed. For
months each year, the ice for Chi
cago and other lake points, and
low water and ice in the Mississippi
for ST. Louis, have conspired to pile up in
storage elevators at these points millions
of bushels of wheat which could not be
moved and which simply hampered the
banks that carried this clogged surplus.
The firms named see a way out through
elevators at Wichita for many millions of
bushels annually, which including hire
cleaning, inspection and grading could, be
moved by rail direct from initial points to
export ports without reference to frozen
lakes or low rivers. To this end comes
the representative alluded to and the
promise to which Wichita has long looked
hopefully brightens perceptibly.

AN UNIQUE PIANO RECITAL.

There are musicaes and musicales, and
recitals and recitals as the average reader
of Sundays EAGLE can we'll attest, and
that Wichita is undoubtedly the musical
center of the state no well posted person
would dare deny; but few after all know
of all the schools and classes of that divine
art flourishing in our city, not to mention
the musical teachers regularly employed
for the public schools. The most unique
and at the same time probably one of the
most interesting enterprises in the line OF
music is being conducted by Miss Magee,
a most competent teacher who resides
with her mother at the corner of Topeka
avenue and Oak street. Miss Ms forte is
the ''small boy" at a nominal tuition. She
has n fine class of little fellows on the
piano. and their progress and efficiency
are wonderful. Her boys, who include
numb Der from the families of the surround
ing blocks, would rather be with Miss NJ.
ard her lesson than an hour at shinney or
football These boys bad a recital at her
home last evening and if the average girl
of the North End don't look out she won't
be in it as player on the piano alongside
of these boys with their sympathetic and
successful instructor.

THAT MUSiCAL EVENT.

The beautiful woman and interesting
artist, who plays with such exquisite grace
and singular skill, whose every movement
is poem aud whose delightful concep-
lions are rendered so delicately at one in
slant and with such dash and vigor at the
next as to enrapture her auditors, Miss
Nealey Stevens, under whose touch the
piano is no longer an instrument OF grad
uated chords and keys but an embodied
soul power of love whisperings and com
mingliug battle cries and storms, as she
wills or wishes, will be at the Grand opera
house in Wichita on the evening
of the 18th of March, under the
patronage of Mrs. Walden, who becomes
responsible for her appearance here in the
interest and for the deiectation of Wlch-
ita's many artists and lovers of music.
Mrs. Walden, herself deyotee from child
hood of song and harmonies. finds her
greatest happiness in delighting kindred
spirits with these pleasures. While Miss
Stevens has been greeted with great
houses in the east, where opera cloaks,
flowers and dress suits were no incon-
siderable part Of the p!essurable sur
roundings, she will find in a Wichita au-
dience as appreciative and finely discrimi-
mating listeners as she ever displayed her
wonderful talents for, and the sign will be
the encore, and we expect that it will be
scarcely less fashionable and large.
