letter ready for the press when the epi- demlc came, and we were forced to wait for more suspicious time. Is not that time the present? We have the very bright est press women in the world here in the south, and beyond doubt organization would be not only a pleasant bond, but positive benefit.
 Kindly let your readers hear from you upon this subject, as I am sure you will have some very practical suggestions to offer. Very cordially,

A Woman's Press Club
For Alabama

The following interesting letter from Mrs. with pleasure by the newspaper women of the south, and especially those of Alabama An expression of opinion from the women journalists of this state is requested by The Age-Heraid. Alabama should have a Woman's Press club as speedily organized as possible. Until this A accomplished it will be difficult to take the proper steps towards getting in line with the other news paper women of the south The work being accomplished by so many Alabama women in literary and journalistic fields should no longer be ignored. These women should be in touch with the other women of the coun- try who are engaged in similar pursuits. The power of union is as much needed by women as men, and the sooner Alabama women band themselves together in help full association the better for them and their work:
 My Dear Mrs. Ball:-
 Your comments and those of Mrs Nose ley regarding Woman's Press club were of great interest to me in view of the fol- lowing facts: Last summer wrote to Isma Dooley of the Constitution and Helen Pitkin of the Times-Democrat upon this same subject. Hearing from them immediately and favorably. we secured the cooperation of Ella Bentley and others, and the move. ment seemed in definite shape, when the fever came. Our plan was to address cir cular letters to the women writers of the south, calling for a meeting in New Or leans. the home of women journalists, nota- bly Miss Pitlsin, Catherine Cole, Julia K. r,- Ty-

Due to Dissension in Cabinet.

London, Jan. 1.-The Daily Mail says: "The delay in action regarding the West Indies and sugar is due to the dissension in the cabinet. MT. Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, favors counter vailing duties; but other ministers, fearing oposition from the free traders, prefer the policy of assuming a portion of the West Indian liabilities and substituting other in- dustries.

icaIlv but it can be depended upon to
howl for accommodation. Nobody finds
fault with the Missouri Pacific after get
tnie on the cars. It is one of the great
systems in the country. It ought TO build
a depot in keeping with the importance
of the road and the city.
The citizens of a town take an interest
in it's railway stations as in everything
else. Everything else being equal man
will take his visitors leaving to the sta
ton where it is the most pleasant to wait.
The present station of the Missouri Pa
cific is simply awful in hot weather. A
reporter for the Eagle at one time last
summer heard a party of five starting 70
st. Louis discussing the route. It was
family that had come in from the coun-
try and some friend in a remark about
the Missouri Pacific depot caused the
party TO go to another depot and take
train that arrived in St. Louis nearly
two hours later than the Missouri Pa
cific
The public has waited long and patient
" through the hard times of light freight
and passenger receipt until business has
picked up and now nothing in the way
Of an improvement would delight Wich-
tia more than to see the Missouri Pacific
people build a new depot commensurate
in size and convenience to the business
it can have from this city and surround
ing country.

Went Through Wichita and Captured
in Newton.

A telegram was received here yesterday
about noon by the police department ask
ing them to keep a lookout for two men.
One said to be about five feet ten inches
L!Eh, light complexioned; the other five
feet SIX, chunckey build, having two
horses in their possession. The animals
were described as follows: One light
bay, whiteface and nose; the other, white
horse, shod all around. Arrest and wire
chief of police of Ponca City, o. T. The
telegram was received here at 100 p. m.
The message asked that the officials of
Newton. Augusta FL orado, Eureka and
Peabody be notified by telephone, which
was done It so happened that on Mon
day afternoon Captain Shields was on
the street and saw the two men and
horses When the description arrived he
remembered them and said that they
were going north. Last evening a tele-
gram was received from Sheriff Judllins
Of Newton stating that the thieves had
been caught together with the horses.
The reward was 500, which will be paid
to Mr.. Judkins. The sheriff of Ponca City
wired that he would start for Wichita

TO MOVE THE PERRY OFFICE
Rumor Says the Land Offiee VIII Go
TO Guthrie.

Messrs. Amos B. Fits and Lon Whar-
ton, two of Perry's prominent citizens,
were at the Carey yesterday afternoon.
They were here on some personal bust
ness but they spared enough time TO say
that Perry was the best town in the OK
lahoma country and would eventually be
the capital of the state. Mr.. Fits said
that Perry would yet send her 10000 bales
of cotton to the north. The question re-
garding the removal of the land office
then came up and both gentlemen said
that when they left the rumor that was
afoat was about like this: 1.-The eastern
portion of the western district, which in
| cludes the city of Kingflsher, the north
| ern portion of the Oklahoma district and
three townships of the Perry district
which are in Payne county have the land
| Office at Perry. It is said that all of this
! land Office district above mentioned is TO
be transferred to Guthrie and be under
! the Jurisdiction Of that Office. The reason
/ of this is to equalze the districts. The
citizens of Perry are all opposed to this
movement upon the part of the govern
ment and vigorous resolutions have been
passed and sent on to the proper author
! tiles at Washington.

TOUCH RICH COAL FIELDS
Action Taken BY the CON-
merciaI Club.
TOUCH RICH COAL FIELDS

On Monday nigh: the Commercial Club
held quite an important meeting. Re
Gently there has been organized a traffic
freight bureau in this city. and Mr.. T. H.
Griffith was chosen as chairman or
more properly speaking commissioners.
Griffith wrote to the Commercial Club set
ting forth the advantages OF having the
Kansas Midland extending their line into
the Oklahoma country and making direct
connections with the NJ. X & 7. r. r.,
thus giving Wichita the benefit Of getting
the coal from Oklahoma and besides get
ting a direct outlet 10 the Gulf of Mexico
The coal which is mined in the Okla
homa country, is said TO be much superior
TO that sent here from the eastern part
of the State and Missouri. Besides the
quantity is unlimited. These are the two
principal advantages 20 be derived, but
still there are many others. 1t is hoped
that if the project goes through that
! Wichita will be able TO get better freight
/ rates to the Gulf and thereby obtain a
| much better price for the cereals. which
now have to go TO New York City for
| shipment abroad.
| Two of the Midland's officials were pre-
! sent at the meeting, although the propo-
I sition was submitted by Mr.. Griffith.
/ Should the road conclude TO go south,
only about sixteen miles will travers
/ Sedgwick county, but in ord TO reach
/ the coal fields and to make connections
with the NJ X & r, It viii he neces-
sary to extend the line about 275 miles
AR Griffith said that the road would be
built for one-third OF the actual expense
I per mile which would be s. 500. This would
make it necessary for Sedgwick county tc
| vote bonds for the amount OF $4,000, OF
! about s., 500 for each mile built in the
| county. AS Oklahoma is a territory. they
| cannot vote bonds, but many of the town
| ships have raised subscriptions. whicr
amounts to the same thing. The subscrip
! tons are really better, as they are IN casf
and viii be paid over upon the compile
ton Of the line. The Midland officials
| have a route already mapped out desig
ing Just what towns Will be on the line
They are all the best in their respective
territory and are the headquarters 70
both grain and cattle industry which Il
second 10 none in the world. The terininu
may be Sapulpa, although this is no
positively decided upon. The Commercial
club took hold Of the movement an
passed favorable resolutions and have sig
nified their intention of lending all posi-
BILE aid to the new project. If the arrange
ments can all be completed the work vii
likely begin in the early spring.

SHOW HOME WARES
Will Have an Industrial
Exhibition,
PARADE AND FIREWORKS
1t Will be Given to Encourage
Home People.

The latest movement on foot among the
live and energetic citizens Of Wichita Is
to have an industrial exhibition or home
carnival, wherein all the manufactured
goods made at home will be on exhibition
together with everything that is grown
in Sedgwick county. The Commercial club
is behind the movement, which insures a
success and completion Of the idea.
There are many small things which are
manufactured here that thousands of cit
liens 90 not have any idea but that they
are made in New York or Chicago. Even
many of the merchants do not realize
the fact, though they may be purchasers.
1t is proposed to let every one have an
opportunity of seeing what is made az
home and thus stimulate the people TO
call for home articles and also give en-
couragement to the men who have located
in Wichita.
Only the first steps have been taken as
yet but the industrial exhibition will be
held either in March OF April The Com
mercial club have decided to push the
matter and urge every one to lend their
aid and assistance. In the past, while
many have put their wares On exhibition
at the fairs which have been held, 1t is
| now proposed to make a special solicita-
ton and ask every one to put on their
/ best goods together with a complete line.
The matter was brought before the cluh
last Monday night by Mr.. Charles q.
| Cohn, president, who is always on the
| lookout for the benefits and advantages
! which will promote the welfare of Wich-
| tia and her business men. No one had
! thought Of the unique idea until 1t was
! suggested by Mr. Cohn but all saw the
! feasibility Immediately and Joined him II
| furthering the matter. Mr.. Cohn appoint
! ed the committee on manufactures which
! is COMPOSED of Mr. Charles Aylesbury
| chairman; Mr.. George p. Dold, Mr.. New
ton Garst, Mr.. Cash Henderson, Mr.. L.
| w. Clamp and Mr.. c. w. Southwark
! These gentlemen will consult with the
local manufacturers and others who coulc
make an exhibit and ask them if they
will respond to the idea They viii prob
ably report at the next meeting of the
| club. Although it has not been positive
~ decided upon, the club may ask TIT
| bupsiness men to have q parade after TIT
order of the Rag-a-muffins which wer'
| so popular several years ago. At nigh
possibly a pyrotechnic display will b.

M'ADAMS- ARMSTRONG NUPTIAL
Former Wichita Gentleman Married
in Independ ence.

In EnuepenO ehcc.
The independence Daily Reporter gives
the following long account of the wedding
of Mr. Charles L.McAdams to MissFannie
Armstrong, which occurred in that city
on the evening of January 18th:
Charles L. McAdams and Miss Fannie
Armstrong were quietly rlarrier at about
$50 o'clock last night at the home Of the
brides mother, Mrs. B. Nj. Armstrong, on
North Pennsylvania avenue.
This announcement will be read with
surprise by the hosts Of friends Of these
popular young people. While it has been
freely phophesied by their nearest friends
that the happy nuptials would occur in
the near future, none but the relatives OF
the bride who witnessed the ceremony
knew that last night was the date set
for the important event, so unsuspecting-
" have all the preparations been made.
The bride is one of the most popular
Young ladies that have ever held sway
in Independence society. Pretty, &C
complished and noted for her many
graces and virtues, Miss Fannie is warm
" loved by the large circle Of girl friends
with whom she has grown TO womanhood
in this city: and, like the majority of the
beautiful young women Independence de-
lights to honor, her birthplace is here.
Mr.. McAdams the groom. came to hide
pendence from Wichita. Kansas. in June
1886. to take the position Of pharmacist
with the firm of Sinclair & Co. During
his comparatively short residence here
his friends have increased in number daily
rendering him deservedly popular with al
with whom he has come in contact, either
in a business way or socially.
The ceremony last night was performed
by the Rev George T. Nichols pastor o.
the CONGREGATIONAL church, being the sim
| pie and beautiful ring service
/ For the present the happily married
| pair will be at home at the stately and
/ imposing residence where the wedding
| took place.
! Congratulations are certainly in order
and they will be showered upon the pop
! lar young couple today by all who have
/ the good fortune 10 be listed among thei'

Did You Make Your Grain-O This
WaK2

Here are the latest directions: Use one
teaspoonful of Grain-O to two cups Of
cold water Mix the Grain-O with half an
egg and add the water. (Be sure to meas
ure) After the water gets to the boiling
point let boil for fifteen to twenty min
utes. Use cream and sugar to suit the
taste. If you have not cream use hot
milk.
A lady said: 1.-THE first time I drank
Grain-O did not like it, but after using
it for ten days and forming the habit,
nothing would induce me to go back to
coffee" This is the experience Of all. If
you will follow directions, measure it
every time and make it the. same, and try
it for ten days, you will not go back to
coffee

BANK ASSETS SOLD
Golfer Sim Buys state National Pro-
perties.

The assets of the old State National
bank have been bought by Coler Sim for
the sum Of $4100. There have been divi-
dends amounting to about 80 per cent de-
clared upon the $245,O0O of liabilities of
the bank, besides the sum to be paid by
Mr.. Sim and the money Mr.. Leland, the
receiver, had on hand prior to the sale.
It is probable that the entire dividend
will now reach 40 per cent.
The assets purchased by Mr.. Sim were
largely in the shape of notes, fixtures and
realty.
