FLATTERING STATEMENT.

In another column will be found the
semi-annual statement of the Wichita
Perpetual Building and Loan association,
one of the prosperous financial institutions
of the city.
While the volume of business has not
been extraordinary large since the organ
ization of the association last April, owing
to the depressed times, yet it has been
very profitable. The loans that have been
made are gilt-edged and the association is
in a highly prosperous condition.
The officers of the association inciude
many of the leading business men of the
city, who are devoting their time and
energy to its affairs more for the purpose
of building Up successful and much
needed institution of this sort in this city,
than for any pecuniary gain for them
selves as individuals Their standing IN
the community is sufficient assurance that
the affairs of the company are consery-
atively aud economically administered.
A building and loan association when
properly managed as this one is, proves a
great boon to persons in every class who
desire to begin savings fund by laying
aside small amounts weekly. By uniting
in cooperative scheme of this plan
better profits from these small amounts
can be realized than from any other poss
bic source known in legitimate business
investments.
The Wichita Perpetual Building and
Loan association cannot be too highly
commended for the good work it has
begun, and it is not often in any city that
business men of so high a standing in
terest themselves in the success of a matter
of this kind

DIR. DAYS LECTURE.

The lecture Of DR.. Mary Gage Day.
which was the second Que Of the course
by which the pupils of Fairmount college
are being favored, was largely attended
and highly appreciated. DR.. Day was in
troduced in Il very graceful manner by
Mrs. Lucy, who, IN connection with Miss
Mathis, has charge OF the course.
DR.. Day spoke for little over an hour
upon the general subject of hygiene, the
topics embraced being contagious diseases
and the causes leading TO their contraction
and prevention. Dividing her subject into
three topics, viz: air. water and food, DR..
Day spoke first of vitiated air and poison
Gus molecules: second, of the water sup
ply in cities. and the quantity OF water
calculated for the use of each person for
drinking. cooking and bathing, finding
that in English cities the supply is based
upon twelve gallons per day for each per-
son: at Johns Hopkins university, Balti-
more. It is found 10 be about 80 gallons
for the same purposes. Oxygen as food,
the assimilation OF food, aud causes OF
together with some excel.
lent rules of health for students, closed a
most instructive lecture

WANTS CLEVELAND TO DIE.

Very bright and full of life were the
busines streets of Wichita yesterday The
payments were all a clatter throughout
the day and the sidewalks a jostle of men
and women seemingly intent on business.
A rain fell along the southern border of
the state in the early morning and the air
was moist and of a springtime softness.
The usual street corner crowds made up
of men who had come to town to do a little
trading and more talking together with
the unemployed of the city discussed the
tightness of the times and politics. The
average kansan must not only know
what's going on in the world, but reason
for all shat is wrong. As for the merchants
they complained not of lack of buyers.
but of the amounts purchased. This of
the dry goods and other dealers such as
queensware. furniture, hardware, ,clothiers.
etc. The groceryman's trade falls off but
little. People must eat and so the butcher,
also, a busy man on Saturdays. especially.
The drug men were setting around wait
ing for an unfavorable turn in the weather,
which threatens never to come, and the
jewellers for Cleveland to die or declara-
tion of war in Europe. Hogs and cattle
had downward tendency, and the same
might be remarked of the stock in trade
at the joints up to late hour. For dead
level times too many things seem to have
downward tendency. The hotels are all
full and SO were the fellows who were
later in the evening kindly taken in as
guests of the city. The banks were all
closed after o'clock and it is feared that
they will not open again before o'clock
next Monday. Nothing was dryer than
the weather, local news and the bed of the
Arkansas excepted.

PERECLkslAN ENTERTAINMENT

The Periclesian society met last evening
in its cosy ball in the Gelto bnldiug, and
the program. which was the best the So
cie,y has had fer some time, was greeted
with such large audience that standing
room was at Z premium. Each number OF
the program WAS enthusiastically received
The recitation by Miss Wood was excel
lent. and the young lady eviuced much
eloculionary talent. The Misses Getto
favored the assembly with Il piano duet
which was much appreciated and well re-
ceived. Ar. Frank Rich rendered two
elegant recitations. aud mis- delivery and
style were such as 10 merit the applause
and encore which he received. The crown-
ing event OF the eyea;ng of pleasure and
entertainment was an illustrated lecture
by Professor Barber, who held the au-
dience spell bound with his graphic des
crip,ions of noted places be hsd visited
and the steropiieian illustrations were SO
vivid as to make the very scenes seem real.
The Per:clesian society Is surely -four
ishiEg as is deserves, and the enthusiasm
and energy OF is members IS making it a
most pleasant placs os resort one evening
each week. X .

IT MEANS SOMETHING.
Rents in Unusual Demand and Offers for VAL
uabie Properties Daily Occurrence.

The first town in the state of Kansas to
give evidence that an improvement in the
commercial conditions in the state is at
hand will be Wichita. Wichita is the
best, the most reliable commercial barom-
eter for Kansas. Kansas City, Kansas. in
a business way, and view. is largely of
Kansas City, Missouri. Wichita having
sweated it out before most of the other
places had even begun to feel the heat,
was back, practically, to a normal condi-
tion when the national squeeze set in.
Aud being still in condition, the very first
forward movement a3d improvement by
the state will evidence itself in Wichita's S
life and trade.
While statesmen, firanciers and
students of economy are no.
where predicting any immediate
return of good times, there is no denying
the fact that encouraging incidents and
instances are occurring in connection with
the affairs of this city. They may be but
vagrant or illogical pulsations but they
are nevertheless felt and recognized. The
strongest and probably the most encouy-
aging Of these is the sudden demand for
buildings by outside parties for business,
storage, residences and the like. Within
the week applications have been made of
the agents for most of tue hig brick struct
ures located near and along the lines OF
the Santa Fe and Rock Island roads.
Some of them have been leased
A Missouri river forwarding firm, takes
The big three story brick block on South
Mosley avenue among others. Healy and
other property agents and representatives
say that the increased demand for rents
and sales are very marked and for almost
every class of property.
Whether but an ephemeral coincidence
Or otherwise coming of substantial re-
newal of life, Wichita has only to hold to
her own aud stand by the advantages from
which her existence originally sprang, and
which have safely tded her through
troubles and enabled her
to rise superior to such organized op-
position as would have totally ruined any
,own of less stamina, TO become that
which, as market center, the environ
ments warranted and her original advan-
,ages still guarantee.
