FALL FESTIVITIES.
Kansas City's Record for ATordinE
Pleasure to Visitors Has Never
Been ExceIIed in the West.

Kansas City gives the public each fall the
finest entertainment that is provided by
any OF the Western cities. ard brings here
each year from 100000 to 22J.G1 people from
the surrounding country. The parades of
the Priests of Pallas, the first of the kline
organized west of St. Louis. and strikinGly
distinct and different from anything else
Yet produced in that line, have for I dozen
years been very popular and grow more so
each year, as they are bettered and bright
ened. In connection with it is the annual
Flower parade, a society event. hat is of
SURPRISING beauty and affords nc end of
pleasure to the public. and the annual Kar-
nival day parade, when mirth and jolliii-
cation have full limit of enjoyment and
everybody has a day off TO relax and grow
young again Kansas City receives mucr
from the generous and wideawake people of
the surrounding country. and she appreci-
ates and enjoys it, and in heaptng measure
repayS it with the finest entertainment that
can be given. This week of fall levity and
enjoyment added to the Horse show. that
is also given each fall, the annual ball of
the Priests of Pallas. and the other gather
ings thar are to be added now that the
Convention hall furnishes an assembly place
of ample capacity. will enable the city to
repay the people for their journey here
each fall. and to instruct and entertain
them in royal style. What Kansas CITY
does Is right and il sets the pace for all
other Western cities.

CHARITABLE AID SUPPLIED.
The City Has Ample Facilities for All
Claims of the Poor.

While the prosperous conditions sur
rounding Kansas City and the very general
opportunity for the employment of labor
than are ordinarily found in a city OF the
same size, still there are demands contin-
ually for charitable aid among those who
fail of success or are victims OF sickness
and misfortune. There is spent annually
in the city about $4,000 for aid TO unfor-
tunates but so well is the same distributed
that 1t gives a very great measure of re-
lief. Nearly all relief given is through the
Provident Association and the Helping
Hand institute. The business men of the
city support the Provident Association and
agent for the distribution of relief. Its
affairs are handled by a board and in a
very practical way its bounty is distributed.
III mas a wood yard where men are en-
pioyed and a department OF labor for wOm-
en- NO aid is given until an examination
mas been made and impostors are shut out.
The Helping Hand opens its doors to the
wanderers and homeless and provides shell
ter always and employment as much as can
be done and distributes its bounty con-
~tinually. 1t has done Il great work and
has been fairly well supported.
Inc charitable spirit of Kansas City has
always been very great and has never al
lowed suffering or wan when ii was
known. The churches do n great deal to
supplement the work of the two organize

often handle cases quietly.

The Union National bank will begin the
New Years business by removing to the
rooms that are TO be its home during the
coming years in the New York Life build
ing, where the Metropolitan National bank
was formerly located. The location is an
ideal one for a growing bank and offers eX-
ceptional advantages in its location so con-
venient to the large wholesale district and
in the splendid arrangements of the rooms
for the banking business. 1t was a rare
piece of good fortune that the splendid To-
cation was possible, as it is considered one
of the best in the city. both as regards
present and prospective conditions. The
bank will temporarily occupy the rooms on
the east side of the hall while its own quar-
tiers are being overhauled and Frightened
and made ready for its use and convenience
later. The bank will move from its old To-
cation on Tuesday, January 3.
The change of location is made for the
purpose of securing quarters more ample

have been very much crowded to handle

PATRIOTIC KANSAS CITYANs.
Many Arc Now Serving Their Country
in the Colonies and on
the Sens


Kansas City and the surrounding cities
made a splendid record during the recent
war with Spain III the number of men
who volunteered to serve as soldiers. Two
entire regiments We're recruited here for
the volunteer service. and there were
enough others anxious to enlist to have
made another full regiment. While none of
the volunteer soldiers got 10 the front dur
ing hostilities. they responded to the call
and We're in the service and did everything
that was in their power 10 get into action.
In addition to those in the volunteer serv-
ice more than $50 men from this point have
enlisted in the regular army since the war
was declared. and they are now scattered
wherever American soldiers are stationed.
Some are in Manila, others on their way
there; some are in Honolulu. others are
scattered at the forts along the Pacific
coast, while others are at Havana. Porto
Rico, Santiago and among the forts on
the Atlantic coast. In the navy are Il score
of Kansas City men. several of whom served
with conspicuous Valor during the war,
one being a lieutenant with Dewey at Ma
Mia, while others We're in the fleet that
vanquished Cervera'S squadron. Sc far as
pr triotism goes and the Willingness t serve
the country on land or sea. Kansas Cityaus
sustained their credit without i flaw at all
times.

AMONG THE CHURCHES.
Religious Organizations Are Numer-
GUS. Well Organized md Active.

The moral atmosphere of the city has
always been strong and healthful, and the
forces that operate for the moral and spir-
jtual welfare of the citizens are well organ
lied, strong and successfully handled.
There are 10 churches and missions in
operation in The city. They are nearly
all self-supporting. and a number of them
exceptionally strong and forceful. The pull
pits are filled by men of ability as minis
ters and many of them are also actively
identified with other moral and civic or
CARNATIONS that aim at the elevation of
man and the advancement of the city along
the best lines. The number. of church
many of them very great. The religious
field as a whole is well cultivated and a
number of charitable organizations con-
nected with the churches that dispense
their bounty among the poor and the I'M
fortunate during the year, making their
professions productive of substantial and
practical results.

LUMBER TRADE HAS GROWN.
Wholesale Trade Good and Retail
Trade Very Active.


With the building CT more railroad lines
that reach the big timber supply Of the
states Kansas City has been given
a very greatly increased Importance as 4
market. The number Of firms en-
gagged in business here has increased and
the business has grown to such proportions
that its annual value reaches close to
S5.000. 900. The immense timber interests of
the South find here their natural point of
distribution through the Northwest. where
there is an increasing demand each year.
No branch of business here is handled by
men who have more life or who put more
energy into their business dealings and
with the supply available and the freight
rates favorable the business responds to
their efforts with a big advance.
All of the big mills of the South have
agents here who handle their product.
Then there are jobbers in large numbers
who do a heavy business. Everything
from legs, railroad ties. poles, bridge tim
bers, dimension stuff and on 10 the finest
of the finished product in all the different
kinds of timber is sold through the deal
erS here. The business is well classified and
each man handles his own line. The deal
ers are able to supply at any time any
order for any kind OF timber in any state
of preparation.
The retail trade in lumber has been re-
good demand all the time from the build
ers and vast quantities have gone into new
homes. new buildings and repairs and en-
largements. Many buildings are contem-
plated for the coming season. SO another
good year is assured.

There is no more correct way of measur-
ing the growth of a city's business than by
the business done through the postoffice.
When business is good the postofIice gives
the sure indications. and it mirrors
every advance or records every i%nterrup-
ton to trade advancement. 1t is accepted
everywhere as Il sure and correct indica-
ton of the true condition of business.
By this measurement Kansas City has
had the best year in her entire history,

previous record by about Sleo.000 and will
reach about S5j0.o0o i'll round numbers.
Every department of the office has shown
the growth. the number OF pieces of mail
handled, the pounds OF mail in and out OF
the office each day and in all other de-
partments. There has never before been
so much mail for city delivery, so many
money orders bought and presented for
payment, nor such a rush OF business all
over the office.

1895 and 1897 compared are given herewith:

Lively Manufacturers.

The Importance of the city as a jobbing
center for tobacco and cigars has grown
steadily for a score of years. While there
are a number of cigar factories employ
ing n few hundred men all the time. that
business here has not been as wei! de-
yeloped as it should have been, still there
are 4 few Kansas City brands that have

ways been given Il liberal support at home.
Eastern factories do an enormous jobbing
trade here. and jobhers and dealers i'll

Kansas City manufacturers of iron work.
machinery and engines. boilers and iron
supplies of all kinds, furnish so varied Il
product as to max it possible for any
sort of an order for iron work. engines or

SHOWCASES.
4 Growing Demand for Artistic Work
Is Met by the Manufacturers
OF Kansas City.

The growing demand for something new
and which enables the dealer to better dis
play his goods TO the view of the public
without injury calls for much ingenuity
in the manufacture of showcases for the
retail trade in all lines. and the firm that
sells its goods must lave the cases built
in every shape, size and style. to fit every
nook. corner and counter that careful
builders make in the great business houses.
Kansas City manufactures that kind OF
showcases. and sells annually AN immense
number all over the country. Anything
from the plain counter case 10 the hand
some plateglaSs cases of unique design can
be made on short order and furnished at
as low a price as is asked for the same
work in any other city. Ii is demonstrates
that Western genius in that line, as in
many others. is equal to that found my
where else. and that Western products are
Just as good and can be sold just as cheap
as similar goods made anywhere.

GR0CERS' SUNDRlES.
F~IayorinG Extracts Are Made and
Shipped in Large Quantities
Other Articles ndl

There is a surprisingly large business
done in Kansas City in a very quiet way
in the manufacture and sale of sundrieS
for the grocery trade and the annual foot
ings OF the various companies engaged IN
that business amount to Il snug Su.h.
Some manufacturers have come from sur
rounding cities because Of the better
chances for disposing of their goods and
the better railroad facilities for their bus
mess. They make everything included in
the grocers' sundries and find Il ready sale
for their goods.
The manufacture of fiavorins extracts
has been wonderfully developed and the
various other articles that are a part OF
the grocery trade are made in large guam
titles. Each OF the companies made Its
start in a small way and has won its
standing by close attention to business and
the exercise of that sagacity that marks
the Western man who risks his savings IN
q new enterprise.

Business men agree that the increase is
due largely to the increased business done
at the stock yards, the packing houses. the
increase in the grain trade. the wholesale
the increased activity in the manufacturins
lines of the city. Business in all lines has
increased but only in a norma. way and
for that reason the figures are the more
significant. Had the real estate market
been active there would have been another
big increase in the footings. but real estate
has been normally quiet and the transfers
while numerous have been mostly of small
amounts.
banking business the past year was the
organization OF the New England National
bank from the New England Trust Com
pany and the consolidation of the Citizens
National bank with the Union National.
The Citizens was an old and popular insti-
tuition established in 1SS2. 1t had done a big
business all the time and had weathered
all the storms of the depression in the
West. 1t had a capital stock of $4,000 and
its doors in liquidation.
This leaves now in the city but six ma
tional banks with a combined capital Of
s.. 100. Tine December statement showed
total resources of over $33, 600 go and above
So. 0o1,o 600 in deposits.
In addition to the national banks there
are seven state banks here doing business
with a combined capital of si70.c 900 and foot
ings of nearly s2.c6O.OO. All of the banks
are in a healthy condition and have a
growing business. While the consolidation
of the banks has decreased the numbers
It has not weakened the strength of the
business in any way and they are amply
prepared to handle all the demands of the
business.
experimenting the banks are six loan
and trust companies doing n business an
nually of a very great magnitude. They
have a working capital of over $500 900.
They are active operators in financial mat
tiers and annually handle deals of great
magnitude.
The December returns of the national
banks of the city to the comptroller show
the following interesting and satisfactory
