LEWIS SELLS HERE.
Says That Prosperity Is Bound to
Come Very Soon.

OOu40 v cry 7OCL
Lewis Sells is in Topeka. He still
lleeus his eve on the movements of the
show owned by Sells Brothers but he
slipped away long enough to come to
Topeka and look over his property in
terests. He viii join the show in few
days in New Jersey
Mr.. Sells was seen by Journal re-
porter last evening at the National. He
was asked whether there was any
truth in the rumor that he is contem-
plating the erection Of several new
buildings in Topeka.
No" said he Il do not intend to
erect any new buildings this summer. 1
have great confidence in Kansas and
Topeka and think that the state is one
OF the best in the Union but I will not
put up any buildings now.
i am very well pleased with the ap-
pearance of things here. I notice that
since We were here with our show just
one year ago today new buildings have
be "a put up and more are in process Of
ere ton That indicates better times
and am glad to see it.
But 1 see the same conditions every
where I would be willing to stake my
life en- the statement that we are at the
dawn Of better times. They are coming
just as sure as the sun rises. A great
many people made the mistake of think
ing that better times would come at
once. That is a mistake. They can
only come gradually but they will come.
You may rest assured of that. In every
town We visit L notice that great deal
of painting and fixing up is being done
and that means that people are feeling
better

20 Make Wichita the Central Point
considerable Change.

Wichita, June 15.-From official
sources it is learned that a long con-
templated change on the Frisco rail-
road will be made on July 1. Train los,
leaving here at $40 in the afternoon,
will go to Newton, where it will make
connection with the westbound Santa
Fe train. This will give the Frisco
either express or passenger, over the
Santa Fe to Denver and all western
points.
Train los, leaving here in the after
noon, will hold over at Newton until
the following morning, when it will re
turn, coming back under the train num-
Der of 106. This train will arrive here
at 1880 and will then go east to St.
Louis All of the other trains will stop
here, making this city the terminus.
This includes the passenger train which
from the east and all freight trains.
The Frisco east leaving at 10 o'clock at
night viii probably under the new or
der leave for st. Louis about two hours
earlier, or at 8 o'clock
The train going to Newton will be
Frisco cars and engine, which employs
a force of four men, and will virtually
be Santa Fe train, as the Frisco viii
run over their track to Newton This
Will give Wichita one more connection
with eastern and western points.
Eventually the Frisco will have to
maintain repair shops and engine
houses in this city, but for the present
temporary arrangements will be made
with the Santa Fe to house their en-
gineS and do their repairing.
The men now employed by the Frisco
will be moved here from Burton as
soon as the new changes are made

AGAINST STOKER.
Opposition to His Appointment as
Deputy Street Commissioners

The trouble about the appointment of
a deputy street commissioner in North
Topeka has not been settled. Mayor
Fellows still insists upon appointing
George Stoker and Councilmen Skin
ner and Pattison still oppose the ap-
pOintment-
There is no friction over this matter
between the councilmen from the First
ward, said Councilman Skinner today.
Mr.. Pattison and myself are working
as unit. 1t is not true that we have
recommended different men for the
place. We told Mayor Fellows that we
would pick out three men who we think
would be satisfactory to the people of
North Topeka and the cOuncilmen and
he might make his choice from them
but he insists upon appointing Mr.. Sto-
ker and we don't want Mr.. Stoker and
I am satisfied that the people of the
First ward don't want Mr.. StOker eth
err We presented a protest against Mr..
StOker's appointment signed by eight
cOuncilmen and 1 think that ought to
cut some figure
The appointment is still hanging fire.

Rings His Be,i When Hungry.

The strangest bird that ever reached
the Philadelphia 200 came last week
from Brazil. 1t Is the bell bird. fat and
puigy. curlously marked In its plum.
age. and about the size of small
pigeon. Its most striking character
Istic Is its wonderful voice, from which
it gets its name. When hungry the
bell bird suuats on its launches, throws
its squarc-cut bill up towards the skies
and utiers It's peculiar resonant notes.
The song is not unlike the sound pro-
duced by the striking Of a hammer on
an anvil, clear ana ringing, so peneirat.
Ing that II can he heard throughout
the gardens There Is no let-up in the
cries until the keeper responds by
bringing cream nuts, the food on which
the bird thrlvcs In itN native forests.
The creature Is n great consumer, often
making away with n quart Of The nuts
in single day. 1t breaks the hard
shell easily In It's vice-like beak. After
stuling Itself it rests contentedly until
the bangs of hunger are again felt
