of expressing their appreciation of the

One man declared that the night pre-
vious just as the clock struck u. and
he was laying on the bed thinking, that
it appeared to him as though a great
load had been rolled off of his breast.
and when he heard the shots fired, the
bells ringing, the whistle blowing, the
dogs ysfping, the drums beating, he
forgot all about the rheumatism and
got I'D and yelled. He declared that he
had not felt the rheumatism since, and
ne predicted that the year 1896 would
be the most prosperous year ever wit
messed by the citizens of Wichita. The
man IS not in the real estate business.
but there is mo telling how soon he
Will be.
