Each day sees some new fans wanting TO

is getting together Now that two games
have been arranged between the Kansas
City Blues and the Eagles, the anxiety
for warm weather and the dates for the
games increases. The business men in
general have given their encoura cement
and everybody seems to be overjoyed to
know that after ten years this city is TO
have professional team. The fence on
the ball park has been completed and
work on the grand stand would have been
commenced had not the rainy weather in
terfered. A score of carpenters will begin
to erect the grand stand on Monday.

Manning's Kansas City Blues, acknowl-
edged to be among the best in the West

carriages. 1t will be general gala day,
/ The Blues will play here on Friday and
| Saturday, April s and 9.

after they receive a defeat or two. For
! that is what they will get, as Mr.. Alex
ander has promised to have a winning
! team, and if he hasn't got that combina-
ton together now he will get them imme-
diately.
The following letter from Winfield ex-

DOLD TO MAKE SOAP
Factory to be Built With
5000 Pounds Capacity
MANY NEW BUILDINGS
Glue and Fertilizer Factories
to be Established.

The Jacob Dold Packing company VIII
commence in the next ten days TO make
some radical improvements and erect
some new buildings which will cost be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. There will be
FIVE new buildings erected, and probably
more. In what is now the cattle lot on
the north side of the large establishments
there will be built a two-story frame
building 1O0x6O feet. Herein the new An
derson fertilizer dryer, with capacity Oh
twenty tons per day will be operated. An
o+bar building for the stick machine, con-
.onfra+ed tankage with four tanks, vacu-
UNI pressure, will be built. The very lat
est machinery now in vogue Will De put
in. which means that the residue VIII con-
tain 3S units of ammonia, which IS very
heavy. This residue is mixed with water
and spread over the soil. It is used chle1-
lv in the raising of tobacco, and also IN
the manufacture of cement. The prlncl-
nal object of the concentrated tankage
IS 10 take away all Of the glutine matter
from the water. As it is now, this waste
>
sewer and being of a gelatne substance
II sticks to the sewer and forms in a white
coat and obstructs the mains. This Will
be obviated, as nothing but pure water
will be turned into the mains, as all Oh
the adhesive matter will remain in the
tanks.
new fve-ton elevator is now in the
course of construction on the east end OF
the building where the porkers are now
killed IT has a guaranteed capacity of
hoisting 10000 pounds from the second
story to the tenth, a distance Of 200 feet'
every two minutes. The machinery Tor
the elevator arrived yesterday and VIII De
nut in place Monday, the frame work haV-
ing been finished last night. Heretofore
the hogs have been killed on the tenth
floor. but hereafter this work will be
done on the second and the swine sent
UP to the tenth.
The matter of putting in a glue and soap
factory is being seriously considered. Mr.
Jacob Dold is now here from Buffalo and
&c in consultation with his sons, Messrs
George and Fred Dold, looking over the
field with the view of establishing the
two factories mentioned. The glue Factory
will mean that all the sinews of cattle
and pigs feet will be used.
Figures and plans have been consulted
with the result that if the factory is put
up which now seems to be foregone
conclusion, it will be three-story brick
= building. with the most improved machin-
cry TO be obtained. The dimensions have
not vet been decided upon, but it will be
large enough to do the work for several
years. The capacity will be 5000 pounds
of White Clover Floating soap.
Four new hog pens will also he erected
in the cattle lot They will be the best
that can he built, having vitrified bricl
floors. The pens will be 1924 feet double
decks. with a storage capacity of SOC
hogs. All of the plans are drawn anC
work will commence Immediately. The
buildings are being laid out with view
to extensions which viii give them double
capacity. If need be.

FIVE MILES OF MAINS
Gas aud Electric Light COmpany's
ImnrnRemenfS.


A reporter for the Eagle had occasion
to call yesterday at the Wichita Gas,
plant. 1t is Observation-Disclosures
Electric Light and Power company 5
plant 1t is always supposed that gas
and electric light plant is a greasy and
coal black place to visit, but the Wichita
plant, which is the largest of its kind in
Kansas, is as neat and clean as new
broom and painters can make it. The
floors were scrubbed white, and the
company has just about completed the re-
painting of the building; also the two
large gas holders. There has also been
erected a large and commodious gas fit
ting shop in order to better handle the
large, increased business in the gas stove
line. Mr. Ward says he expects to give
away this season at least 500 gas ranges.
and if his expectations are realized the
patrons Of the gas company will be able
to purchase gas for the least money that
it was ever sold in Kansas-S100 per LOCO
feet.
Superintendent Ward says it is easy OF
proof that cooking by gas can not be eX-
celled by any fuel on earth. No smoke,
| no smell, no explosions, nothing to carry
in. nothing to carry out; always ready
and can be made the cheapest fuel in
| Wichita.
All you have TODD is to give the company
chance to prove it to you, they laying
the pipe, furnishing the stove, and all you
have 70 do is to pay your gas bill.
While tasty signs adorn the entrance
lance" you can always find Superintend-
ent Ward in the Office, who is not only
wiling but pleased to show the public
| through the plant, and the reporter car
vouch for Mr. Ward C'Ben," as he is more
Familiarity known as not only being :
very clever gas engineer, but jolly good
| fellow.
The company are at present contem
plating the laying of about five miles o.
new and larger gas mains, all of which
will enhance the value of Wichita prop
| erty.

The surface of the body being chilled the pores closed

A SAD AFFAIR.
Christmas Frolic Brings On a Dlth-
Guilty In Which Two Lives
Were Lost.

In Beech township about IA miles
from this city and in this county, a
difficulty, with a sad ending, began
and terminated at John Meningitis
home on yesterday morning. We
have heard several versions of the
difficulty leading to the killing of
White Easley, and daughter Of
Mcknight.
The report current on the streets
says, that on Christmas night some
young men in the neighborhood
took Sam Ferquerou's wagon to
McKnight's house and Meningitis
wagon to Ferqueron, changing the
wheels on the same.
On Monday morning Sam Fer
querson, accompanied by John and
White Easley, went to Meningitis
house to make the exchange in
wagons, and while there a difficulty
was brought on, by Mcknight firing
4 charge of shot at the men en-
gagged about the wagon. The load
took effect on White Easley and the
report SAYS he crawled to John
Easley's winchester and opened fire
on Mcknight through an open win
dow and shot several times, killing
a young lady and wounding another
one in the room.
John Mcknight and his nephew
who was in the house at the time
have been arrested. Sam Fer
gueron and John EasleY have not
been arrested as far as we can
learn.
This is deplorabe and to think it
all grew out of lot of Christmas
fun.
