prise and led to believe that city had
sprung up at the junction of the two
Arkansas rivers, which according 20
postoffce calcula tons was larger than
Kansas City. The postoffice was locat-
ed in what was then known as De
lano. but now West Wichita. d. A
McCanless was the postmaster and he
conceived the idea that postage stamps
were legal tender, and began buying
buffalo hides and supplies for mis- store
with the same. At that time pOstmas-
tiers, in offices not in the presidential
class, received stamps al so cents on
the dollar and hence 'Nichita's Bill
Nye' was fast making a fortune. Con-
gress was still in session and owing 10
the pluck of Wichita the law was
changed.
In early days there was no political
or denominational distinctions. All
that a citizen had TO be convinced Of
was that the action was in the interest
of Wichita and all united. There
might have-been some jealousies but
there were subservant 10 the interest
of the Wichita. 1t was a city without
a city tax: il was place where much
wickedness abounded, but hypocrisy
was unknown; it was a city built with
its chief cornerstone, pearl, dia-
mond known as ''hOme-rule.' Il was
builtand sustained through all its trials
and adversities on the same principle
upon which the revolution was fought
and freedom won. Ii is not a lawless
city, but it does object to having its
rulers appointed at the dictations of
the residents of that whiten sepulchre,
known on the map as Topeka, Kan.
and this same feeling of unkindness to-
wards the seat of hypocrisy was early
born in the hearts and breasts of the
pioneers of Sedgwick county.
1T may not be generally known but
yet 1t is a fact that the original plan
Of the Santa Fe railroad was by the
junction of the two Arkansas rivers,
and thence west TO the Pacific slope,
making a saving Of 1O9 miles between
Newton and Dodge City. But the road
fell in the hands of the schemers of
Topeka, and because the early pioneers
would not surrender their all to the
projectors, by giving them a fee simple
deed TO their homes, printed across the
face of the instrument-Here Lords, 1
give myself away, it is all l can do
the unholy fight was begun against
Wichita and has continued until the
present time. Ii is witnessed now by
the shippers of grain being compelled
10 ship his grain via Kansas City in or
der 10 reach southern market.
AN instance of this home rule spirit
was plainly portrayed in the spring of
1872. Many men had prophesied that
by the city reaching out via the old
Chisholm trail and calling hence the
Texas cattle trade that the movers
were bringing death and desolation to
the place. Baxter Springs had fallen
10 the rule Of the cowboys. Abilene had
been sacked and the boys with the red

Is What Won Every Victory.
Yesterday and last night was Old
Settlers day, and the city was turned
over TO the early pioneers by Mayor
Cox, who welcomed and rendered 10
them the liberties Of the city.
During the forenoon the residents of
the country who settled in the county
as early as 1872, began pouring into
Wichita from every portion Of the coun-
~ and the hearty greetings extended
10 them by their city friends was cordial
and heartfelt
At 2:3O O'Clock President Rochelle
called the meeting 10 order and invited
J. r. Meade, William Matthewson, J.
VI. Balderston, W. T. Jewett, Z. z.
Thompson, c. F. Hyde, DR.. Tucker and
other old settlers to the platform.
Prayer was offered by DR.. Tucker,
which was a touching appeal. and fully
set out the great objects of the meet
ing in thus gathering to again renew
acquainitances and pay tribute 10 those
who have gone to their external rest
At the conclusion of Hon. W. E.
Stanley'S address, which viii be found
in full in another column, c. f. Nessly
of the Eagle was introduced and spoke
in substance as follows:
Parents and men often make the
mistake of forming an idea that a boy
does not heed current event. 1t is too
often the case that two men will go
down an alley for the purpose of TAX
ing drink and if a man appears they
willput up the bottle, butifa boy should
appear no attention viii be paid TO him,
and thus often a boy gains more infOr-
nation than man Today if you will
start two men and two boys out on an
investigation for joints and places Of
immortality the boys viii return with
the information of three times the
number that the men will. Thus it is
often that the boy becomes the ablest
reservoir for furnishing news.
I'VE might stand and relate in
stances of unpublished historical
events. but shall only briefly recall a
few
The first silver discussion in Wich-
tia happened in the spring Of 1871. 1t
was not to obtain the free coinage of
silver, but TO get rid of a 80 cent piece
that had came to the town. At that
time the church building was located
near the residence of the Woodman
estate and was a half dug-out. 1t seems
that on Sunday when the collection
was taken up, that among the poker
chips-which were worth their face
value at the gambling house where
they belonged-there was found a so
cent silver piece. ]. NJ. Martin was a
member of the vestry, and by some
strange process the silver money fell
in his hands. He tried 10 get rid of it,
and traded it to Doc Lewelling for gro
ceries, but the next day il came back
to him in change, and thus the silver
passed backward and forward twenty
times; nobody wanted il. They prefer
red the shin-plaster. But the silver
was legal tender and had TO be taken.
At last the vestry met in Schattner's
saloon and John had his silver. While
waiting the arrival of some of the be-
lated vestry men John engaged in
game of cards and to settle his bill
turned in the silver, and the next day
il was turned over to the United States
revenue collector and thus the silver
question was settled.

Speculation at the stack Exchange Was
Again Outlet Yesterday


Again Quiet Yesterday.
New York, Jan. 16.-Speculation at
the stock exchange was quiet again TO-
day. The opening was strong on the
announcements from Washington of the
notifications III the bond circular
whereby the time for the payment for
the new bonds is distributed over a
period of four months. This, accord
ing to Bankers, means a comparatively
easy money market while the govern
ment bond deal is being carried out
London came higher, and this had a
good effect on prices during the early
trading. Foreign houses, however, sold
at the advance, but not in important
amounts. For that matter home opera
tors were not any too anxious TO take
on hong. commitments in the railway
list ana speculation dragged through
out.
In the industrials there was a fair
degree of activity, the result of COW
ering of short contracts. Leather pre-
ferred was the special card and rose
nearly points TO ga on the revival of
the rumors that the company intended
a 2 per cent. cash dividend in Febru-
airy. Tobacco broke from 79% to 77s
on the announcement of the formation
| of combination of the southern manu-
| facturers of tobacco. Chicago Gas sold
| up to 81 on reports from the west that
Attorney General Molbney will decide
in favor Of the reorganization commit

The strength of the industrials had
| a good effect on the general market

way list. The ifldustriais, except To-
baccp, which lost is per cent, gained
