Local Cotton Belt employees are en-
thusiastie in favor Of the removal Of
Tyler to this city, and eagerly nues-
toned the Gazette yesterday to know
" any additional information had been
received.
They say there Is nothing to be urged
against Tyler except It's inaccessibllty.

change. They figure II out that about
two days time could be saved in the

BIRD AND KANSAS MILLS
What His Forthcoming Annual Report will
Show for Industries.

Labor Commissioner W. G.. Bird was
in the city yesterday. His forthcoming
annual report will include a very com
plete statement pertaining 10 the value
capacity and output OF the mills OF
Kansas, with other interesting informa-
ton concerning them The report
shows that there are 3S5 mills in Kan
sas but a large proportion Of these
are so small as to hardly be worth men
tioning Responses TO inquiries came
from 100 mills. OF these twenty
merely stated that they had not run
during the past year. The reports of
the remaining 1s9 represent 50 per cent
of the entire milling industry Of the
state.
It appears from this report that the
capacity of these 169 mills IS 25,762 bar
rels every twenty-four hours, which is
equal 10 the grinding of 50 million bush
els of wheat per annum, without work
ing on Sunday. The actual output Of
1O3 mills for the year ending December
81, 1895, was pa, 066 barrels. The num-
Der of bushels of wheat ground was
Il, 9S2. 268, which is a little over four and
One-half bushels to the barrel Of -four.
The year 1895 was the worst the millers
have had in a long time 10y reason OF
e-AC 4SCDA NAOps Dtbtl ~ 4OaAAtS dA4
quantity, and a good deal of wheat
shipped in from other states, particular
Ky Nebraska, was used by Kansas mills.
The offal (bran, chops, etc.) manufac-
tured was 81 million pounds
Returns from 100 mills show total
cost of plants TO be 81 ,034 S51, while 127
mills report present value TO be s., &c.,
600.
There are 10Y mills using steam
power, thirty-nine using water, twenty
using both, two using wind power and
one electricity. The total number OF
sets Of rolls in 80 mills is l ,401; and sets
Of burS 1877 in Sc mills.
The average number of employees dur
ing the year was 929 IN 139 mills; great
est number, 1,214; least, 67S; wages paid
S453. 126.
One of the surprising showings of
the report is the small quantity of corn
ground-Only 1.2A, 6O9 bushels, by 50
mills
The average cost of the wheat ground
was so cents q bushel. If much poor
wheat had been used the average price
would have been much less than that.
On the Average wages paid miIers,
forty-eight reports showed $2.33 a day;
thirteen, s19.11 per week; fifty-six
$50 So ger month; and four. sZa6 per
year.
Ninety-six mills reported that they
had not been closed during the year

as well as grass, that a big demand
would be made from that section which
would require the entire surplus OF both
this and last year, and that by the build
ing OF the public elevator rates would
be secured which would bring the con-
sumers and producers in such close
proximity that fair prices would be real
lied.
This class also realized that the les
son taught the railroads this year would
Be a lasting one and they would be slow
10 organize again 10 steal the entire
crop Of the state. and if they did that
the farmers would burn corn and thus
not only put their grain cars idle upon
the sidetrackS, but their coal cars as
well
One large farmer in speaking Of the
situation yesterday said:
If this turns out to be another big
corn year, and ii is almost sure 10 be
now. those who have thousands OF
bushels Of last years crop cribbed VI
should not get blue. The farmers will
crib more corn this year and hold X IN

sTALwARTs GETTING READY
wichita Democrats VIII Go on en- Masse t.
Chicago Convention.

WICHITA DemOcr&ts w III on en- hasse TO
Chicago Convention.
The Democrats OF this city are max
ing up a party to go to the Chicago con-
vent!on and from the encoura cement
given it looks as If about 100 viii go.
Assistant Postma ster Locke will pro-
baby be one of the officers of the con-
vention, as he has been rendered a posi-
ton as assistant sergeant-at-arms. This
Is what is encouraging the local Demo-
Gratis to go. They know very well that
if they do go Locke win provide for
them amply. Harry Stewart never
misses a Democratic convention and he
mas his grip packed already. John De
Mott is also ready to start. These two
went to the last Democratic convention
and found the hotels so packed there
that they wandered about looking for a
place 10 sleep until about 2 o'clock IN
The morning. Finally they came to a
large building and they paid the watch
man half a dollar apiece if he would let
them sleep in it. He met their propo-
sitiCn with aiacrity. Both went in and
laid down on benches and when they
were awakened in the morning they
found TO their horror that they were in
the morgue. They went 10 bed early the
next night and We're quite sure that
they were in some place other than the
mOrgue.

SOMETHING ABOUT RAIN
Does a Heavy Rainfall in June Presage .
Rainfall During July

The late persistent rains have brought
out many theories and among them one
is to the effect that if the ground be
well soaked by June rains the moisture
in the ground Will cause a larger than
usual rainfall in July. An examination
OF the records fail TO show any pro-
nOunced verification OF the theory. The
following are the facts:
The normal rainfall here for June is
81 inches, so that whenever that
amount is exceeded it would be classed
as heavy.
Now, in 1889, our June rainfall was
7.S9 inches and was followed IN July by
Az inches
In June, 1890, there fell sos inches, fol-
lowed in July by .s5 inch.
In 1891 June had 40 inches. followed
In July by $50, the heaviest July rain
fall recorded here.
In 1892 June had 10 inches and July
275 inches.
In 1893 the amounts We're 3.41 and 5.o2.
In 1894 June had 9.43 inches, the. heavi-
est for any June, while July had but l. -
inches, the lghtest for any July, except
1880.
On 1895 the June rainfall was AT
inches, followed in July by ETA inches.
The normal rainfall for July is 3.o7
inches.
