HOME OF ITS OWN
JohnSton-Larimer Company TO
Build a Brick Block.
BUSINESS DEMANDS IT
And a Fifty Thousand Dollar
Structure May Result.

One OF Wichita's largest wholesale
firms is contemplating the erection Of a
big brick block during the first months
Of the coming spring for their use. This
firm is the Johnston-Larimer Dry Goods
company. They are now situated in the
big block on Topeka avenue, just north
of Douglas, and wish to enlarge their
business. It is impossible to do any en-
larging in stock in the present quarters,
and for this one reason the firm viii
build
The new building, as conceived by W.
W. Johnston, senior, president Of the
firm, viii be Of brick. It viii be entirely
modern and the estimated cost VIII be
near the $4,000 mark The building will
be several stories high and the entire
structure wiz be occupied by the John
ston-Larimer people.
The site Of the proposed building has
not yet been determined upon Several
locations have been looked over but this
matter will be settled within the next
few weeks. The members of the firm are
not very anxious to have their building
down on the tracks. Their business is
not in such condition that it is neces-
sary to get near the tracks. However
having the business on the road would
save carriage expense. The idea, how
ever, is to be near the center Of the bust
ness portion and in this respect it would
be more easy of access for out Of town
merchants who come here annually and
oftener to select their stock of goods.
The new building which is proposed by
the Johnston-Larimer people is only an
other step in Wichita's advancement as
q wholesale and 5obbing center. No firm
tn Wichita. has had such marked success
as this firm Their dealings have always
been on the square and the firm is made
up Of thorough business men.
Mr.. w W. Johnston, senior, the presf-
dent Of the Johnston-Larimer Dry Goods
company, is one Of the oldest dry goods
men in this country. In spite Of his
years his is an active mind and no man
IS keener in business than Mr.. Johnston
The people Of this city will be glad to
see the new building Of the dry goods
firm and appreciate their business enter
prise of getting quarters Of their own.

TRIED TO COMFORT HER.
JUDGE MORRISON TALKs.

Although Jessie Morrisons attorneys
gave orders that no one outside of the
Immediate family Of the prisoner should
be admitted to the cell, the Eagle CORE
Epondent gained admittance. The pris-
oner was lying on the cot surrounded by
her family. Judge Morrison said: Jessie
was fearful Of two Of the jurors from the

thought that she would be acquitted. She
had that opinion until after the jury had
been out two DAYS. when she expressed
the opinion that it would be q hung jury.
