WILL BUILD At ONCE
Missouri Pacific Depot Site
Must be Cleared by April 10
TITLE HAS BEEN OBTAINED
Plan of Building to be as
Previously Announced.

Mr.. Phillips, of ST Louis. who looks
after the titles and other legal
affairs connected with the depot
sites and other realty interests
of the Missouri Pacific railway,
has been in the city this week clearing up
everything preparatory to the building of
the new Missouri Pacific depot at the
corner OF Douglas avenue and Wichita
street. He has ordered all building re-
moved from the site of the new depot
upon the termination OF the thirty days
notice, which ends on the 18th Of this
month. Lawson Bros, who own the liv
cry barn on the corner, will get their
buildings off the ground next week and
B. T. Mclean has already begun the
erection of a new Office building for his
lumber yard, which will be removed to
the corner Of Waco and Douglas AS
soon as the ground is cleared MIR. Phil
lips says the foundation work for the
handsome new depot will be commenced.
The titles to the property have been
cleared and everything will soon be In
readiness for the beginning Of work Mr..
Phillips went to Hutchinson last night to
look after the late purchase of the H. &
S. terminals, which the Missouri Pacific
has made there, and will return to Wich-
tia next week.
Wichita people who began to think the
new Missouri Pacific depot project had
been abandoned, owing to the delay Of
starting the work, need not fear. tMr.
Phillips says the depot is assured, and
that it will be just as handsome and sub
stantial as it was pictured in the columns
of the Eagle.
General Manager Russell Harding, who
was here a few weeks ago, is said to
have hurried the clearing jof the site of
the new depot, and Immediately the orders
were given to vacate the ground. Mr.
Harding is anxious, too, for an early
of the new depot, and it is
said that he will order every part of the
work done on as quick time as posi-
BILE after it once begins.

system. Though the predictions were
made in earnest, yet 1t was hardly be-
lieved that they would be realized so
Soon Monday, March Y, Mr. Harding
was chosen general manager of the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the st. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern systems, and a
few days later was chosen as one of the
vice presidents of the same companies.
He resigned similar positions on the Cot

Funeral Services VIII be Held This
Afternoon.

Funeral services over the remains of
Mrs. Susan Meade will be held at 2:30
p m today from the residence of Mr.
Charles H. Noe, 2O9 st. Francis avenue.
Grandma Meade as she was famil-
| iarly called, was born in Virginia eighty
years ago, and came to Wichita in 1884,
and has resided here ever since. She was
a member of the German Reformed
church. She leaves three children, Mrs.
Charles H. Noe of Wichita, c. H. Meade
of Winfield and William Meade of Boise
City, Idaho. The cause of her death was
old age. She was we'll known In this
city, and well loved by her many friends
for her amiability and good qualities. A
friend of the family composed the fol-
lowing in her memory:
GRANDMA"
April u. 1900, her spirit took fight.
To enter those regions of celestial light;
And God, with his angels, in the bright
heavens above,
Has another sweet spirit to cherish and
love.
Her life is returned to her Creator-her
God.
After her faithful journey of life has been
trod
Though before her he planted the Rose
and the Thorn.
With true Christian spirit these SORROWS
were born.
She was so dearly loved by one and by
all:
With sweetness she filed that dark cup of
gaI:
With no thoughts Of hersef-just loving
and kind.
Praising ali goodness. but to all faults
blind
When Easter morning dawns clear and
bright,
And choirs of angels. in pure. spotless
white
Around the great throne OF our Sweet
Savior kneel.
Another dear spirit will quietly steal.
Into their midst. Lo. 3 spirit was borne
To heaven aoove on bright Easter morn.
And among the sweet lilies in their fra
grant bloom.
She praises the God who arose from the
tomb
