The Wichita and Southern.

Wichita, Kan, Oct. 26.-The City
Council of Wichita tonight, at a
special meeting called for the pur,
pose, appropriated 500 as part OF
a SO, 900 guarantee by the Com
mercial Club to pay the expenses OF
a preliminary survey for an exten-
sion of the Kansas Midland from
Wichita to South McAlester, l. T.,
to be known as the Wichita and
Southern. City Engineer Jackson
was granted two months leave of
absence, with pay, to accompany a
party of surveyors, who will start
over the route of the proposed eX-
tension early in November. The
extension is the plan of Receiver
Wolf, of the Midland, who has Sc
cured the agreement of local men
and capitalists of Louisville and
New York to finance the deal. The
line is proposed to extend to Tex
arkana, Ark, by way of South Nc

The truth of the ancient maxim,
that a cobbler had better stick to
his trade, we End demonstrated
daily in the commonest affairs of
men. If one has adopted the Prac-
tice of medicine, the science of ped
agogy, or any other calling as his
life profession, it is presumed that
he is more efficient 10 that partIcu-
lar line than as an editor or man a.
ger of a newspaper, and, conse-
quently, in ninety-nine cases out Of
a hundred he will find it more pro-
fitable to stick to that which he
understands and of which he is a
master.

LIVERPOOL MARKET STIFF.

Yesterdays reports from Liver
pool caused many outlaws to issue
from the Office of those gentlemen
dealing in futures. The reporter
happened to be in the vicinity-in
fact he was in the next room to
where the "ticker" was hammering
away at dashes and dots, which
when read, told of the increased
points in favor of futures over Fri
dayl's report, and he detected the
laugh of Col. Webber and Judge
Byrne, and knew that the news the
"ticker" brought them, put a
thousand or two in their pocket
books they did not have there when
they got up and made their toilet
in the morning. The hour was too
early for Clarence Taylor to be out,
and Ben NJ. Foreman, who has prov
en- TO be "plungcr," was not in, but
we saw Colonel Hayden Skipping
across the street with a ten thous-
and dollar smile on his face and a
81. 80 American beauty rose in his
button hole, aud we knew at once
that those New York cotton specu-
latsrs would have to shell out to our
far-seeing spectators. We learn
that Judge Byrne made a cool
thousand on Friday by selling a
block of future holdings and he re-
invested his profits, and with the
rise of yesterday he is apt to make
few more hundred, and what can
be said of the Judge will hold good
with the balance of the gentlemen
engaged in cotton futures.
