THERE Is NO BOOM
But Choice Real Estate is Going Up In
Price Every Day.

There Is no boom in Wichita real es-
tate. It would be gross misreprensenta-
ton to give out word that buyers were
fighting over the bargains, but no one
can doubt that there is an increased de-
mand for property for actual use. If
any one doubts this let him start out to
buy home. The agents will report
| numerous hales made within the last
few months, or the last year, but every
sale taking bargain out of the market,
there are fewer houses now to choose
from. The result is that the list is be-
ing curtailed day by day, and home
seekers are in dilligent pursuit OF some
thing to suit while prices are low.
This certainly shows healthy condi-
tons. II also presages an advance in
values. That this will come, the Eagle
has never had a shadow OF doubt. Wich-
tia has the same material advantages
she always had. If there were reasons
justifying the growth of 1887 and 1883,
the same reasons exist now. If the
country tributary to Wichita was capa-
bic of supporting a population of 10000

lance. every year. Our implement and
lumber dealers ara reaching out year by
year. Wichita is developing her schools,
and improving her streets, thus adding
to her attractions as a place to live. The
re-equipment OF our electric system will
prove great benefaction to the whole
city. Our packing houses are increas-
ing their product. and making a better
market for hogs and cattle month by

These are substantial reasons for the
better demand for houses. II is not

speculation. That is not the idea. 1t is.
rather. the desire to buy while property
is cheap, in the faith that Wichita viii
grow, and values increase in due pro-
portion. There is no risk in buying good
property at present prices.

WILL COME SURE
3. G. TOLER TELEGRAPHS THAT
BRYAN WILL BE HERE.

Last Monday the Omcers of the Fair Asso-
citation Received q Letter From Mr.
Bryan in Which He Said He Thought
He Gould be Here on October 1-Mr.
ToIeT Took the Train Immediately for
Lincoln Where He Saw Mr. Bryan and
Last Night Received Positive Promise
That He Would be Here
Last Monday morning the officials OF
the fair associat ton received letter
from William Jennings Bryan, dated at
Lincoln, Neb., IN which he spoke in a
very discouraging manner about his be-
ing able to come here for the fair this
fall The fair people had already been
putting out advertising matter in aoun-
dance throughout the southwest and on
all the paper Mr.. Bryan was advertised
to speak III Wichita on October I. There
is no doubt that Mr.. Bryan is drawing
card and when the fair officials learned
that il was possible that he would not
be here they were afraid that the people
would think that rank fake had been
perpetrated on them. After holding a
consultation it was decided that Secre-
tary H. G. Toler should go to Lincoln
and have a personal talk with Mr.
Bryan. He left Monday night and last
night Mr.. B. B. Herndon. president Of
the fair, received the following telegram
from Mr.. Toler:
Lincoln. Neb., Sept. I, 1897.
B. B. Herndon, Wichita, Kansas
Bryan will speak as advertised Oct. l..
sure. II. G. TOLER.
The fair officials as well as others who
were acquainted with Mr. Toler's miss
ion, were greatly pleased last night
when it became known that Mr.. Bryan
would positively be here, and that no
change in the program would be made.
There has never in the history OF the
county been such active measures taken
for successful fair as is being done
this year. Everybody that has any con-
nection with the fair is putting forth
their best efforts and most varied pro-
gram will be presented

JOHN BROWN NOr GUILTY
Practical Joke Perpetuated and He Il Made
to Believe He Is Arrested.

In last Sundays Eagle appeared a
short article declaring that John Brown,
the colored porter a the Manhattan, had
been arrested for stealing watermelon
and that Messrs. Van Dine and Clayton
had gone on his bond. II seems that
such was not the case. Mr.. Brown did
not purloin the melon nor did the gentle
men go on his bond. There was melon
stolen and some of the men around the
hotel put up job on Brown for joke.
