COMMANDMENT AFPER-MAT

The commencement exercises of the city
| normal and High schools. followed III
rapid succession by those of the Paramount
institute, Lewis academy, the Wichita
and the Garfield universities, indicate a
degree of educational enterprise that is
destined to make of the Peerless Princess
the Athens Of the west.
Professor McGbbons of the Garfield on
Thursday night responded, foc the second
time since his graduation, to the call of
his fellow alumni to deliver the annual
| address at Chaddock college. Quincy, Ill.
Professor Shull says that eight years
ago. with population of 5000 and no
other schools of secondary or higher in
struction in the city, he had one assistant
and forty five pupils in the High school
A comparison with present conditions
would be instructive in many ways.
The audiences at the Garfield during the
past week were the largest ever known
there, standing room being al a premium
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. This
taken with the fact that there were i'm
mense audiences simultaneously attend
ing the Lewis Academy and Wichita Uni
yersity exercises, is a fair index Of the
est among our citizens.
Some two hundred dollars worth of
prizes and scholarships were awarded at
the Lewis Academy commencement on
Thursday.
President Griflin's Baccalaureate adj
dress has been widely commented upon
as brilliant and scholarly pro-
duction, rich in the wisdom of the past
and in advanced thought upon questions
of today, and presented by spirit of broad
catholicity 1t might be truthfully
added that the gentleman is capable of de-
livering it with equal eloquence in either
of three or four different languages be-
sides his own.
The Garfield has adopted the plan of re-
curing written theses submitted to the
faculty, instead of public orations from
candidates for the Bachelors degree.
Hereafter only candidates for the Masters
and other advanced degrees will present
their.theses publicly, the opinions or state
ments of which they will be required TO
publicly defend.
The difference between the highest and
lowest average in the Burke-Periclesian
contest in defamation was only thirteen
twentieths of one per cent, and between
the averages of the representations by So
cieties only five-thirtieths of one per cent.
The High school and Lewis academy
alumni seem to be the only ones this year
who can indulge i'll the luxury CT a ban

PURvEYORs FOR TIE STATE.
Messrs. Farnu,n & Co. Receive The Awarl for
Furnishing The State Institutions With
Their Line OF Goods for
the Com ny Year,

After being subjected to one of the most
rigid tests that was ever made in regard to
quality and quantity. the award for fur
nishing the state institutions for the com
ing year with baking powder, spices and
tea was given to the well known firm OF
Farnum & Co., proprietors of the Royal
Spice mills OF this city. Messrs. Farrum
s. Co. feel justly elated on their success in
winning the award on their Spray baking
powder and granulated spices. which are
manufactured by themselves in their mills
in this city.
This firm has the only spice and coffee
roasting mills in the state. and the con-
tract was only awarded them after thor
ough practical tests of their goods made
by the state board and against such well
known and justly famous competitors as
Chicago, st. Louis and al! the Missouri
river towns.
The awarding of the contract as above
stated only demonstrates the fact long ago
made public by the EAGLE, i. e., that as
fine line Of articles OF all descriptions
can be manufactured at profit in Wich-
tia as i'll any town in the United States, if
properly conducted. And in the lines
above stated MessrS Farnum 81 Co. have
amply proven it to be true The secret of
their success lies in the fact that they pos
sess full knowledge of their business and
that they turn ont only the best quality Of
goods at reasonable rates In addition to
the manufacture of baking powder, yeast,
spices, cotees, mustard, etc, they also
carry Il class of teas which the state board
pronounce superior to any in the state for
the money. This is the first instance that
the contract for any such award has been
allowed west of the Missouri river towns,
and speaks volumes for the energy dis
played by the gentlemen interested and
shows that when Wichita man sets his
head for anything he is going TO have 1t If
true merit and hustling abilities can &C
complish it.
Wichita may justly feel proud of the
success of her business men.

Last Thursday night while Rev. Hiram
Smith was attending a meeting of his
church, the New Hope Baptist church on
Mead avenue, his house and everything in
it burned up. 1t is thought to have been
set on fire as there was no fire left about
the house when he left it. Rev. Smith
said he did not know that he had an
euemy in the world that disIiked him so
much as to burn up all he had. Nothing
was saved except his Bible, which he had
with him, and the suit OF clothes he had
on. His library, which he has been col
Letting for eighteen years, at a cost of
81 400, was his greatest loss. Rev. Smith
is laboriug on a small salary and his
church is not able TO help him much. l
feel like making an appeal to the charita-
BILE people of our city i'll his behalf. He is
a worthy colored brother and deserves
help. Household goods. kitchen furniture
and some money are the needed things.
Whatever you may wish to give if you will
report to me l will see that he receives it.

WICHITA WATER.
Quet.

The water furnished by the Wichita
Water company is the finest in the land
El Dorado Republican,.
PROFESSIONALLY Wichita has the finest
water Of unlimited supply of any city in
Kansas, If not in the world. 1t might
prove little tedious to the outside world
to read how it all came about, but tie
American Water Works company, who
own the works, and who supply many
cities and towns, say that as shown by
both quantitive and qualitive analysis
Wichita has the puresS water Of any city
of which they have any scientific record.
There is no end to the supply and it comes
from the hydrant-cock in sparkling beau
ty. 1t carries no organic or other trace.
It's water. clear, pure and wholesome. No
sediment or settings are found in the
mains No storm or surface water can
reach it. If Wichita hadn't been cut out
and located for great commercial center
it would have been a famous health re-
sort. However, the health is not ohiec-
tionable and there is nothing to prevent
anybody from resortins here.
