ABOUT THE wa1rr.KEx PLANT.

Mr. robert e. Hamiltoo, who came up
from St. Louis in he interest of the newly
organized firm OF Francis Whitaker e.
sons Packing company, returned yester-
day morning. In a call made on the
EAGLE the evening before leaving he said
That there was no other aim or object but
to operate the plant here as soon AS the
sale can be made good and the title to the
property be left without cloud. He
affirmed all that this paper had said
touching the matter, and agreed with it
iuiiy that Wichita held superior advan-
tages as packing point, and that IN
questionably the Kansas City packers
would materially feel it when the two
houses here should resume at full capacity.
Mr.. Hamilton has been investigating
somewhat the feeding of wheat to hogs
and is not only convinced that wheat makes
hne meat, but that at present prices is un
qnestlonably a profitable food A very
prolific pea, suitable to this country, was
also proving very profitable food for
hogs.

he turned in going to or from any part of
the house. In this way work aud time
will both be saved.
Nearly 200 car loads of material will be
used in the construction and the building
will be much stronger than any available
building in the city.
The foundation for the walls are repre-
scented as six feet wide and six feet square
foundations placed on cement will be dis
tributed every ten feet. A metal plate
will be placed upon this base and upon
the metal pillar which will support the
first floor Directly above this pillar will
be another to support the second floor and
so on, one pillar above anor her to the roof.
The pillars will be pinned and bolted to-
gether so that shrinkage is impossible
Outside Of the packing houses the building
will be one of the strongest, If not the
strongest, house in the city.

Yesterday the city hall was electrified
for few moments by "A startling rumor.
So spectacular has been the kepley side
walk contract. and so often has il emula-
ted Banguo's ghost by bobbing up at op-
perfume times, that when itiwas whispered
about that retiring members of the coun-
ell would attempt to transact business
Monday night and among other things
pass the contract over Mayor Cox's veto,
there WAS good deal of excitement.
Immediately the question arose
as TO whether the old members of the
council had right to transac. business
the night on which the new members came
10.
City Attorney Wyatt could not be found,
but ex-City Attorney Harry Gordon was
seen and said:
1T Is fact that the old members have
hitherto transacted business on the first
night of the new council, but they have no
legal right TO Go SO. When new MEM
Der has qualified, he can demand his seat.
The old council as a canvassiDg board has
already declared these men elected"
For time it was thought the part OF
discretion to get all the new members of
the council to qualify, tomorrow, SO that
they could demand their seats tomorrow
night ut the start and beat the supposed
conspiracy.
But it turned out that the rumor was
hoax. and that the old councilmen were
thinking Of doing nothing OF the sort.
10 fact, the one question that is puzzling
every one. is ''where is the contract ai?"
1t is known to be Mayor Cox's intention
to veto it tomorrow night, But great
many people insist that there is nothing
to veto and that the parliamentary tangls
into which the matter was thrown, last
Monday night, effectually does away with
the contract.
The most significant remark on the mat
ter made was the expression Of Councilman
Mellinger, who said last night: There
will be no veto. There is nothing to veto.
The contract was not let, on account of
OF that parliamentary trouble" This
would indicate that the Kepley contract
has finally passed into history. Mellinger
has, up to this time, stood by the contract
through all its tribulatlons.

It Is reasonably certain that Governo,

tion. AT least if be does. unless the pres
ent sentiment changes materially, it will
be without the Endorsement of his party

word, until the meeting of the Populist
county central committee yesterday.
He now knows better
For some weeks the aforesaid little boss
aided and abe.ted by the police COM
missioner from the West Side and by the
husband of lady who has TO support her
self by running a school of physical
culture, has had his hired man, Joe
Furnish, touring the country precincts
Seeing" the supposed leaders here and
there, and distributing everywhere. liter
allure designed to arouse sentiment IN
favor of the denomination of Lorenzo
Lewelline for governor this fall.
The little boss plans haven't worked
and yesterday he discovered that the
decent element of his party regard him in
about the same light as the average white
man does the Digger Indian who tries TO
hog everything, both in and out of sight, by
eating the snake that ate the toads that
ate the bugs that Nature made.
Ii had been intended To bring up for con-
sideration the ACCESSIBILITY of renominating
Governor Lewelling at the meeting of the
Pop central committee yesterday after
noon, but the little boss interviews with
the committeeman as they came in from
the country apprised him that the times

the topic should not be introduced in
manner adverse to the governor, he pre-
vailed upon LewelliDg to attend the COM
mittee meeting in person.
Aside from the Office holders" said q
member of the committee afterwards to
au EAGLE reporter, the governor seemed
to be almost friendless as a candidate
among the party councillors. The three

effect that it WAS the sense of the commit

= SIGNS OF GROWTH,
New Homes Being Built and Other Indications
Of Active Life.

| Notwithstanding the hundreds of boom
| buildings which have been moved into the
morei eligible ceDters of the city, and all
| OF which are occupied as soon as reopened,
there are number of neat new residences
being built here and there on upper Mar
ket street, on South Main and elsewhere,
, tnis spring. Wichita has greater prospects
that any city in Kansas. There is more
! bottom to her business life, more advant-
ages IN her location, a greater amount of
capital employed in her enterprises than
any other city in Kansas Besides these
Facts she already possesses greater num-
Der OF the appurtensDceS and improve
ments necessary to city than any other
In the state, Iu the matter of water sup
ply, sewerage, gas, electricity. etc, and
public buildings, she is sufficiently equip
ped for population OF from one to
two hundred thousand people. The
present Indications are that the
building operations for the COM
ing year will exceed those of any town
or city In the state. Ii is evident that as
soon as the general stringency of the
country at large lets up in any sppreciable
degree that Wichita will commence to
grow. If any point in the west has sub
stantial prospects of vigorous growth
and expansion surely that poiut is Wich-
Ita. The advantages that she possesses
cannot be taken away by receiverships or
diverted elsewhere. No single state in
stitution is located here no state or inter
state corporation controls a single inter
est at this point. What she has is here,
developed in and of her own environ
mentS, and all substantial and perma.
nent. and future growth therefore is sure
Inevitable.

Word was received here last evening
that at sunset ragged man and womal
crossed the state line near Caldwell. They
were on foot and were wheeling a diiapi.
dated baby carriage before them in which
there was 4 frail infant.
The man gave his name as Otto Fenck.
He said he aud his wife had travelled ali
the way from Fort Worth on foot, and the
pitiable condition OF their shoes confirmed
the story.
They have wheeled the baby all the way.
begging for food and shelter along the
route. Many nights they have been coyu-
PEELED to sleep out Of doors and it has told
on their health.
During one of the recent storms in
southern Oklahoma, they spent the night
under tree, the mother protecting the
baby with her skirts.
Fenck says he is = wood carver by pro-

leaving Texas, he had worked for his
board alone. He is bound for Winfield,

Ground was broken yesterday for a
large new business block. 1t will be the
property of the Wichita Wholesale
Grocery company.
The situation for the building is oppo-
site the Santa Fe freight depot on the
corner of Williams street and Fifth
avenue.
For some time the company have had
under consideration the erection of this
house and have bad the plans drawn.
Every detail, however, was not exactly
suitable. Many things were seen after
the plans We're drawn which little change
would make more convenient. and which
would save space in the building and
lime to those working for the company.
The building will be of brick and will
consist OF four stories and basement. 1t
will be about one quarter longer than the
building which the company at present
occupy on South Market street. 1t will
consist OF two fronus. The one facing on
Fifth avenue will be IS feet front and the
one on Williams street will be 40 feet.
On Fifth avenue there will be plat
form extending from the building TO the
car track and over he platform will be an
awning. This awning will be supported
by iron posts and the roof consist of cor
rugated iron.
At the top of each front will be the
sign of the company extending the full
length of each front.
The sale-room will be placed on the cor
ner of the two streets and will be spacious
and well fitted. Back of this will be the
Office.
The building is SO arranged that in case
the company wishes it either of these
rooms may be extended until the whole
length of the building on the north side to
the rear end is occupied by them.
In the rear car track will enter the
building. This track will connect by
switch with the Santa Fe railroad. Cars
will then be run into the building and
loaded there.
From the Firth avenue front to the ship
ping clerks office in the rear is clear
space in which the porters with their
trucks can make direct line. Along this
space the elevators and scales are placed In

HIS VIEWS ON PANTS.

From the Union Printer.
A boy in the Wichits schools has been
suspended for reading the following essay
on pants:
Pants are made for men, and not men
for pants. Pants are like molasses: they
are thinner IN hot weather aud thicker in
cold. The man in the moon changes his
pants during The eclipse. Don't you go to
the pantry Cor pants, you might be mis-.
taken.
Men are often mistaken in pants. Such
mistakes make breeches Of promise
''There has been much discussion as to
whether pants is singular or plural. Seems
to us when men wear pants they are plural,
and when they don't wear pants it is
singular.
Men go on tear in pants. and it is all
right; but when the pants go on a tear it il
wrong"

JOSEPHINE GETS A DIVORCE.

Peter Helms court troubles have at last
been settled. Yesterday Judge Reed
granted the wife of Peter a divorce as
prayed for save that she obtained no ali
mony. The custody of the children was

Shultz' office during an operation upon
her child and was sent to the county Jail on
the charge of insanity and who afterwards
applied for q divorce from Pete.

came to the conclusion that she may have
whipped the little Hurley harder than she
had intended and the father agreed per
haps he was carrying the case farther than
was absolutely necessary. Consequently
the jury and spectators were disappointed
but happy.

nFpDLEDIN . DOG FIGHT

J. r. Maxwell learned an old but true
lesson never TO NEEDLE with someone else's
fight. Yesterday large bull dog was in
the act of eating up another smaller dog
and a gentleman WAS trying TO hold the
dog back. MIR. Maxwell attempted to
separate the two which he succeeded in
doing by shaking paper in their faces.
His nose bled profusely as he picked him
self from the sidewalk. He now thinks
the man with the bull dog did not want
the fight stopped.

FISH WHEN YOU LIKE.

Some days since the EAGLE published a
rtice from the state fish commissioner
foru.1ding fishing in any manner on any
of the streams of Kansas during the
months of May and June, that being The
spawning season. We thought at the
time that the commissioner WAS off his
base. There is no law against fishing with
rod, line ana hook at any time of the year.
The law is against netting. seining, trap
ping and so forth. Worms and all other
kinds of bait, save bait IN a bottle, goes.

OFFICERS HAD TO PAY IT.

Alexander Griggs. the negro who held
one of the men whom Policeman Otto
Koch arrested few days ago on the
charge of drunkenness, presented his bill
to the police commissioners for 81 80 yes
terday. The two men became too much
for Koch and he had TO turn one over to
someone or let him get away. The board
charged the amount to the policeman aud
the chief of police.

Ozane g. Dyer, any old clothing that can
be MADE use of. The society needs old
dresses and gentlemen's clothing to make
over for the children. The supply of
clothing is entirely exhausted, and the So
ciety still has good many calls to clothe
children who are going to school.
