There is a rumor on the streets, and II
Is nothing more than a ruInor and no one
should regard II as a fact, that Wlchlta Is
TO have Union depot to be situated some
where on East Douglas avenue.
The matter Is said TO be taking shape
from the fact that the Missouri Paclfic
Railroad company can not secure land on
West Douglas avenue for its new pas
Benger depot. Prices are 50 high that
the Missouri Pacific officials, it Is said,
feel that the road is there almost prohio-
tied. and that they have approached the
Santa Fe and Rock Island with propo-
sition for a union of depots on East Doug
las avenue, probably between the present
Rock Island and Santa Fe depots, with
track privileges for the Missouri Pacific
from the stock yards down over the San
"a Fe and out on the Wichita and West
ern to the junction near the Friends Uni
versity.
No one knows positively that the Mis-
souri, Pacific has made any such prop
osition, but it is rumored that the road
has.
1t would be a great thing TO Wichita II
this happened. Wichita's Union depot
would become the greatest point Of in
terest in the city, if all the trains ar
rived and departed from IT. 1t would
mean a continual crowd there from morn
ing until evening with perfect jam, ear
ly and late There are forty-two trains
carrying passengers which arrive and de-
part from Wichita daily. Most all these
trains arrive and depart from o'clock
!n the morning until in the evening
This would easily mean at a union de-
pot three trains an hour and the air of
rustling and the crowds would do great
deal TO advertise the greatness Of the
city 10 those passing through, as well as
be a great convenience to local travellers.
The spot is an ideal one for a union de-
pot. The main part Of the big depots IN
the large cities is a gigantic iron and
glass covered train shed, and there is
room for just such a thing at this local
itv
At present the Santa Fe, Frisco, Wich-
ita and Western and Midland trains car
ryjng passengers all arrive at one depot,
which is called the Union depot. The
Rock Island is but a block away. The
Missouri Pacific alone comes in at some
distance, in fact clear across the business
portion of the city. and if this road runs
its trains south from the stock yards and
thence west to the West SIDE over the
Wichita and Western tracks. all the pas
senger trains of the city viii arrive and
depart within one block of one another
II will not be a very long step then to
a union depot in fact with train shed.
The railroad men Of the city have been
but they do not know just what there is
IN it

RAcE ZOE IMPROVEMENT.

The most marked thing about Wichita
today Is IL air Of Improvement. II Is like
a contagious disease Il has SIS run in
neighborhoods much the same as nea-
sizes and ike naladies. For instance. one
man cannot paint MS store front withou;
his Hs4ghbor. either from getting a sug-
gestion thereby. or being made shabby IN
comparison. az once rgEsIles ar0und and
paints his front. In the last twD weeks
In Wichita twenty-five store fronts have
been painted. one can easily ina CINE
how busy the painters are ard that many
OF them have jobs ahead 10 cover the
whole summer.
No matter where you go IN the city
you VIII find localities where improve
ment Is epidemic. Take foT instance that
part Of First street living between the raft
roads ard Hydraulic avenue Here a
house is being painted. here an addition
Is going Up. there porch Is being aatei.
there a fence Is being put IN. Almost
every man along that street q doing
something IN the way OF making his
place Of abode better and brighter. In
every other portion OF the city the walk
er or driver or rider Will easily pick out
neighbOrhoods where there seems 70 be a
race toward Improvement

THEN AND NOW

Real estate men in Wichita find a good
deal of trouble with outside holders Of
property of late. The real estate dealer
viii find a property. owned by an outside
man, and win write the fastener an
offer. Formerly the easterner would
grab at the offer. Now the self-same
easterner raises the price a little and
then if that is accepted he will crawfish
and slip the price up a few more notches.
In some instances the owner will send
an eastern agent out TO Wichita TO look
the ground over and find the real value
Of property.

LET HIM ALONE.

Not very long ago a Wichita man dis
appeared. The police and every body else
turned out 70 ind him. and after a two
days search ne was nabbed- he had
been drinking. A friend found him and
started to take him home On TIE way
there the man who had been found OK
cursed himself. bought another bottle and
disap peared again for FIVE days. Tae sec
ord time 10 one searched for him

WAS HE INNOCENT

An innocent hose repairer was soliciting
business on North Lawrence avenue the
other day. and stopping at a very fine
house, where he saw some old hose lying
in the yard, he remarked:
Madam, can repair the holes in your
hose?"
What do you mean, sir?"
The young man was so abashed that
he looked down at the woman's feet and
managed to explain himself
why, see that your hose have holes
in them"
= wen, declare" said the lady, and
the man went away.

THE INCREASED RENTS.

The man who has had his rent raised
on him is in evidence some Of late. He
is mad at the world and believes rhe in
creased rent is an imposition. A year or
50 ago there was rebellion out in the SUI
burhan part Of the city when il was no
longer possible to live in houses for moth
ing lust TO keep the insurance alive. -
People who had been doing that for a
year or two and then were compelled TO
hunt new house probably not half as
good and pay rent for it. howled. They
said that it was the newspaper talk and
boom nonsense which caused the rents to
increase, or TO exist at all It was in fact
the increase in the towns prosperity and
population.

fun he had laid out for Saturday, and
When he awoke at O'Clock and found his
play ground muddy he was disappointed,
but he awoke the household, and then
went out and tried to pay football in the
mud, with the result that he received
whipping before breakfast for spelling his
clothes, and was then told that he could
stay on the sidewalk or in the house.
Wen, he STAYED on the walk. He is
progressive boy; the passing of his boy
hood day are fraught with ideas which
he tries TO develop, and as he leaned
against a tree in front of the house and
scratched one leg with the toe OF MS other
foot, and gazed into the back yard of his
nearest chunn he was developing an idea.
He smiled to himself, stole around 10 the
kitchen, got his "weja" board and one of
has fathers cigars, went out 10 the barn.
told the darkey coachman there was a
cigar in it for him if he would play

Weja" said walk front of wheelman."
The darkey got afraid and quit the game.
The boy, somewhat disheartened, went
out IN front and pondered over the re-
marks Of 'weja-" A girl was coming
down the sidewalk and the boy whist,ed,
Il Want TO be a Good Boy and saunt-
cred down the walk. Soon the girl came
up to him. Wont you please get off the
walk SO I won't have TO get Off" said
she. The boys eyes shone; 'Weja" was
dandy Nav said the kid, and walk
ed along. The girl came up to him and
stopped, got off her wheel and walked 70
the kid. He turned his back to the
street, skipped along sideways, and sang
to himself. The girl got on her wheel,
and the boy, who was now walking, al
lowed her to come up to him. She sot
off to walk past him, and again he
skipped like a goat. She was mad. So
don't care if do get fined, I won't get
off again." But she did. She ran after

The boy smiled and waited for the victim
and praised the city council for making
law compelling whee,men TO dsmount
when they meet anyone on the sidewalk.
