A Kansas man always has an eye to
boom. A Harper county man, writ
ing home from Yokohama, says: There
are no sidewalks. The people walk in
the middle of tho street. Space in
front is to storekeepers, only conven-
fence to display their goods. From the
number of new buildings going up,
we Judge that the city is growing rap"
idly. Every roof is of tile, whether
of native or of foreign built

Il is not Palmer Cox's funny charac-
ters alone that have made c. b. Jeffer-
son, Klaw & Kralnger's great produc-
ton, palmer Cox's Brownies, the re-
marlSable success it is. When the cur
tain rises on the splendid scene of the
elaborate spectacle at the Crawford
Grand, Wichita early in January, the
audience will witness one of the most
beautiful collections of, young women
ever seen upon the stage. The princi-
pals in "The Brownies" Eva Tanguay,
Gertie Carlyle, and others well-knoTn
to the theatre-goers, are unusually
handsome. All the chorus and ballot
girls have been selected out of hum
dreds OF applicants on account of their
extreme beauty of face and form. The
fifteen young women who appear in
the Oriental ballot of beautiful women
are especially attractive. The cos
tunes throughout are as costly and OK
quisite as money can buy, and all is in
perfect taste, with nothing to offend
even the most fastidiously inclined.
