Local Matters.
RECEIVES MANY COMPLIMENTS.
Augustus Main Business Street Greatly Ad'
mired BY Many Summer Visitors.

The people of the city are occasion
ally heard to complain about the APP
pearance Of our main business street,
Water street, and find fault with 1t.
1t is not often. though. for the ma
jority of the citizens. are proud of II.
and we'll they may be, for it is seldom
that a city of this size has such
handsome business street.
who are in the city for few hours ON
their way to and from the Boston boat
and resorts in this section, are not at
all backward about their praises for
its appearance. They are delighted
with it, and there are but few who
leave without on more than one occa-
sion expressing their admiration at the
fine appearance of the street.
Many wonder at the nice buildings
with their heavy plate glass windows.
The window dressings are all original
and up to date and in their makeup is
seen the latest goods which are for
sale in the larger cities. There is no
doubt that our merchants are enter
prisng and always after the very lat
est things and they produce them
much more quickly than many mer-
chants in even larger cities.
There are no buildings less than two
stories and all are of stone or brick be
tween Bridge street and the Rines hill
south end. There is nothing elabotai'
about the majority of them but all are
substantial looking. The little window
panes are not seen here as in many
other Maine cities, even larger than
the Capital. The fire of september 1860
which swept Water street from Win
throp to Bridge was blessing in dis
guise for over the ruins of the old
buildings has sprung up business
street that is not surpassed in appear
ance in Maine.
The street is kept clean and nice and
a person can cross at almost any point.
even during heavy rain,and not have
his boots all covered with mud. The
lower end of the street is probably the
most interesting for here is the beau
tiful government building which is 50
greatly admired by all visitors. then
Just below is the handsome Masonic
Temple and across the Hill Macomber-
Wight block. one of the handsomest
business blocks on the whole street
The Vickery block. farther up, is the
finest looking. perhaps. Again. cross
ing the street will be the handsome
new Journal building, in progress OF
erection and just below is the new ODD
Fellows block Strange to say it is al
this end of the street that the wooden
buildings are located with the excep-
ton Of one.
Augusta has reason to be proud Of
its street. one feature of the streets
here is the absence of broken down
hacks. All the public carriages are in
good repair and most of them are nice
" painted and the horses all look as
though they had enough to eat one
of the chief blots on many cities is the
poor condition of the public carriages
which are about the city. The city
authorities here realized this and they
keep all of the old carriages off.

Band With Funst0n's Regiment Will
Give Entertain ments


The magnificent hand with the Twen-
tieth Kansas volunteers, now on their way
from Manila to San Francisco, are ar
ranging to tour the state with a series
of concerts after their arrival home. Cap
tain W. T. Burgess of this city received
a letter yesterday from S. f. Barton of
Wellington, who is a member of the regi-
mental band, and is to be the manager
of the band in its tour. Mr.. Barton says
in his letter that in about ten days after
their muster out in San Francisco the
band will begin its tour of the state, CIV
ing its initial concert in Topeka. Mr..
Bartons letter was dated from Manila,
August Is. He said the regiment would
arrive in San francisco in about ten days
after Captain Burgess received the letter
at Wichita, and Captain Burgess received
the letter yesterday.
The Twentieth Kansas is said to have
one of the finest bands in the volunteer
service and there is little doubt but that
the public would appreciate their concert
sufficiently TO give them a most liberal
patronage at every stopping place. Mr..
Barton says they viii play about thirty or
forty towns, including Wichita, and if
there are no impediments in their trip
to Topeka, the band may be able to get
around to Wichita in time for the Street
Fair. Captain Burgess will urge them to
do so. Mr.. Barton concludes his inter
esting letter as follows:
1--WE are to begin our tour ten days
after the muster out Of the regiment, and
our first concert will be given in Topeka.
I will run down TO wellington for couple
of days before the tour begins.
'I suppose you have heard that 1 was
wounded, but am almost well. Our
band had three wounded and one killed.
We did all kinds of duty, such as guard
ing ammunition trains, building railroads,
hauling artillery, serving. in hospital
corps in the field and as private in the
companies"

ILLUMINATED FLOATS
Big, Dazzling, Fantastic SURPRISE for
Carnival Night.

Jollier-in-C Chief George Bergman, who Is
bossing arrangements for Carnival night
Friday, October 90. of the Street Fair will
spring the biggest surprise on Wichita
the town has ever had in a long time
that's the guess OF Mr.. Bergman's friends
There will be band music and cake walks
and genteel smiles, comic Illuminated
floats, dozen or so of them, procession
in masquerade and a general hot time
But there won't be any paint or -four or
horse play such as Kansas City allowed
its native Missourians to engage at the
carnival MP there a year ago. Everybody
is invited to get up float or smile or
march in masquerade or cake walk. Mas
querade suits should be prepared at once
and all other arrangements completed as
rapidly as possible. Carnival night will
be high tide of the Street Fair and you'll
miss two years solid fun If you don't
jump in. Address George Bergman It the
Office of the secretary of the Street Fair
for any directions.

PATCHEN AND GENTRY LEAVE
For Los Angeles Midst the Good
byes of Admirers,

The kings OF THE turf, John R Gentry
and Joe Patchen left yesterday on the
Frisco for Los Angeles, Cal, where they
will race again for honors. A crowd of
people visited the car to take a last look
at the famous horses before they left
their native soil. The two horses, their
four attendants and two managers, An
drews and Dickerson, together with all
the paraphernalia, occupied one large
express car. and it was "a model of neat
ness and compactness. The horses were
closely blanketed and their stalls were
padded on either side and carefully bed
ded. The horses were as clean as human
beings and were dressed like babies The
men who attended them We're as kind
and attentive as the professional nurse
In the middle Of the car were stored the
various equipments. Liniment bottles
brushes, bandages, etc. were in abund-
ance. The car represented considerable
wealth and the engineers who pull Pat
chen and Gentry probably observe their
orders closer than when they pull the
officials Of the road. The horses are in
sured for $4,000.

BUY BRICK BLOCK
Singer & DonneIl Invest in
Fine Wichita Realty.
DEAL CLOSED YESTERDAY
For the Freeman-B aughman
Property on S Emporia.

Yesterday Messrs. Singer & Donnell,
the North Main street furniture dealers,
purchased through Tucker & Dickson, the
fine large brick block at the corner of
Emporia and English street, better known
as the Freeman & Baughman block.
AIessrs. Singer & Donnen purchased the
property partly as an investment and
partly as a necessity as a warehouse for
the immense stock which they carry at
this season of the year. They will use
the building as a wareroom and storage
house, and the upper floor will be rented
for living rooms, as it is very conveniently
and handsomely arranged for that pur-
pose.
The block cost to build S19,5OO, besides
the lots on which it stands were very val
liable at the time it was built, and the
property is worth a good deal of money
now. The building is three stories high
and of fine proportions. 1t is fitted with
an elevator and the upper story is fur
nished with water fixtures and every con-
venfence for living purposes. The front
of the building is composed of fine pressed
brick and is an architectural beauty. The
second floor will be re-arranged in apart
ments for the reception Of any class of
goods for storage purposes, and the
ground floor will be used by the firm for
storing their extra stock of furniture,
stoves, etc.
Messrs. Singer & Donnell have been try
ing for some time to purchase acceptable
Wichita real estate, as they have IN
bounded faith in the city's future and the
stability of the present prices. A few
months ago they were just in the act Of
closing an important deal for North
Main street block, when another pur-
chaser heard of the pending deal and Of
fered higher price for the same block.
When they became aware of the fine block
on South Emporia they began figuring
and managed to keep the deal quiet until
they had cinched it, and they are wei
pleased with their purchase. They will
begin to remodel the property suitable for
their own use Immediately.
