Kansas Is Prosperous.

A correspondent in Wichita tells of re-
markable revival thus: Has Il miracle
been wrought beside the Kansas Nile
Is this a case of the dead brought to life
Truly prosperity has breathed into the
nostrils of Wichita. The fever of boom
ing ragged here in its most malignant form.
1t was followed by Il trance-like state of
such continuance that some mistook it for
death. But an awakening has come. The
flush of returning health is plainly visible.
The pulse is beating strong. In the banks
of Wichita are more deposits to-day than
at any previous time since the boom was
at its height nearly ten years ago. They
are exactly double what they were one
year ago.
On one of the principal corners stands
a bank which has been organized a year,
with $23, 900 capital. 1t has in deposits
to-day $3.50, 900, just ten times its capital
stock. Six hundred loans came due this
year in Sedgwick County, of which Wi
chita is the seat, and $50 of them have
been paid off. Money is going begging.
Block, the millionaire capitalist, has been
trying for three weeks to place 10000
where it will earn something and still
has it Travelling men for Wichita job
bers, whose sales year ago averaged S.
600 week are now turning in orders for
$4,000 week. A new mill grinding 800
barrels of flour day has just started.
In the directors room of one of the
banks eight or ten of the substantial men
of Wichita We're gathered to make prepar-
atoms for the Kansas bankers conven-
ton, to be held here. One of them talked
and the others acquieSced in this view of
the changed conditions: I'VE are infinite
iy better off than we We're last year. We
have doubled our deposits and are carry
ing stronger reserves than ever before.
We have on an average 60 per cent in
cash in our vaults. Our jobbers are doing
double the business they did last year.
There isn't one of them that can keep up
with his orders. We have five wholesale
grocers, two wholesale drug houses, two
jobbers in dry goods and the same num-
Der in boots and shoes. Ten or fifteen
more jobbers could come here and do we'll
The country banks all around US are in
fine condition with larger deposits than
they ever had. The live stock interests
in this vicinity are larger than they ever
were. The reports show that we have
$4,000 hogs in this county of Sedgwick.
In Sumner, the next county, the whea t
crop this year was 4, SOC, 900 bushels, more
than was raised in any other county of
the State. More people are buying homes
In Wichita than at any time since the
boom period. The books of leading real
estate firm show more transactions in six
weeks past than in six years preceding.
We think good times have come to Wi
chita to stay And these are but few
instances of Wichita's prosperity.

Money Circulation Increases q Hum
dred Million in a Year.


Mr.. Bryan and his free silver colaborers
would like to blot out the newspaper rec
ords of their speeches year ago. 1t was
just this time in the campaign of 1896
that they were asserting that the country
was suffering from a lack of currency, and
could only be supplied by the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver. The people
of the country did not agree with them.
and free and unlimited coinage has not
been put into operation. Yet the October
statement of the Treasury Department
shows that the money in circulation to-
day is, in round numbers, $4,000, 900 in
excess of that one year ago. Curiously,
more than one-half of this increase is in
gold. The following table, issued by the
Treasury Department on Oct. 1, shows
the money in circulation Oct. I, 1897, COM
pared with Oct. 1, 1896:

Life's Little Days.

One secret of a sweet and hap
Ply Christian life is learning to
live by the day. 1t is the long
stretches that tire US. We think
our life as a whole, running on for
us. We cannot carry this load
until we are three score and ten.
We cannot fight this battle con-
tinualIy for half-a-century. But
really there are no long stretches.
Life does not come to us all at
once; it comes only day at a
time. Even tomorrow is not
ours tillit becomes today, and we
have nothing whatever to do with
it but pass down to it fair and
good inheritance in today's work
well done and today's life well
lived.
It is blessed secret, this of
living by the day. Any one can
carry his burden, however heavy,
till nightfall. Any one can do
his work, however hard, for one
day. Any one can live sweetly,
patiently, lovingly, purely, till
the sun goes down. And this is
all that life really means to US
just one little day. "Do today's
duty; fight to-day's temptation,
and do not weaken and distract
yourself by looking forward to
things you cannot see, and could
not understand if you saw them. "
God gives nights to shut down
the curtain of darkness on our
little days. We cannot see be-
yond. Short horizons make life
easier, and give us one of the
blessed secrets of brave, true,
holy living. British Weekly.

Many of the northern orange
grove owners who decided a year
or more ago to abandon their
groves are now writing to friends
here to find out what condition
they are in. Some of them are
sending orders and money to
friends here to have their groves
brought back to life and bearing
at almost any cost. 1t Is fair to
say that before the end of the
present year nearly if not quite
every grove that shows any signs
of life will be tenderly cared for
and brought back to the bearing
period as soon as possible.
