TWO DAYS
AND THE CUDARY PEOPLE MUST
ZEE MET.
Several Thousand Dollars to be Sc
cured for the Fund.

Two more days for work and the mat
ter regarding the securing of the Cudahy
packing plant for the city must be settled
up. The committee in charge have been
working faithfully and have secured the
greater portion of the sum of money nee
essary. There is still several thousand
dollars to be raised and the committee
win go out again to secure it. This mat
ter should not be overlooked by Wichitas
citizens.
Every visitor to the city fI2m the east
has said that Wichita needs more pack
ing houses and points out the reason for
such a statement. When they learn of
the Cudahy proposition. they state that
the thing will be Of great benefit to the
city. Wichita people should see the bene-
fit as plainly as do the visitors, and this
morning when the members Of the COM
mittee call on you, you should be liberal
for the. demand warrants it.
When everything, salaries, trade I've
stock market, is taken into consideration
no such an offer has ever been made
Wichita and a strong, steady pull to-
gether of her citizens is all that is neces-
sary to bring the thing to desirable
close.
That the Cudahys are people who will
do wonders for this city has been demon
strated time and time again, and the
only thing which now remains for the
city is to have their old time energy and
do the right thing.

Of NICHITA'S FUTURE
Mr.. w. B. Mckinley of Ohio
Grows Enthusiastic.
SECRET OF ClTYS SUCCESS
Is III the Patriotic Devotion of
Her People.

| ". B. Mckinley Of Champaign, H..
the man who first came to Wichita and
determined that this city ought to have a
new electric railway, is here again, hav-
ing arrived last Sunday night He is the
representative of the eastern capitalist
who built the new line here, and it was
took the task of building here in wich-
tia the best street railway system in the
west
Mr.. Mckinley sat in the Office of the
ing his cigar when a reporter for the
Eagle called there. His face had the ex-
preston of one who is pleased with his
surroundings. When asked what he
thought of the outlook here. Mr.. Nc
Kinley removed his cigar from his mouth
and held it with his thumb and index
finger and said with much emphasis:
II am more than pleased with the out
look. Commodore Nelson has been writ
ing US that Wichita is the best town in
the west and 1 made UP my mind to come
out and see the place again. When
first came out here last spring to look
the ground over told our people that I
believed that Wichita had fully recovered
from the collapse of its boom and would
shortly become a great city. I told them
now was the time for them to identify
themselves with Wichita 1t has always
been the policy of our people to thor
ougly identify themselves with the cities
where they own street railways and
stand or fall with them.
Our people tell Commodore Nelson
that he Is the most Kansan they ever
saw. When he comes back east he tries
to make us believe that Wichita is the
only town on earth. I am delighted with
the way Wichita people have received US.
1t is certainly great town, and while
do not take any credit to myself for it,
1 think observed the secret OF Wichita's
success the first time came here. 1t is
all in the patriotic devotion Of her peo-
pie. You all stick together. Back in the
eastern towns you will hear people grum-
bic about their towns and say If we only
could have a few frst-class funerals the
town would do better. have never
heard any thing of the kind here. # don't
make any difference whether I go up to
the Commercial club or meet-your whole
salers, retail merchants or professional
men on the streets I find everyone of
them striking out from the shoulder Ike
a trained athlete for Wichita Those are
the kind Of people TO identify yourself
with if you want. to win success. This is
the kind Of a town that 1 like to invest
my money in and tell my friends to do
the same thing
Yes, we are pleased with our property
here. Not so much for what it is doing
now, but or what 1t will do in the fu-
ture. To my mind there is no question
about W1chita's future. 1t is going to be
the greatest city southwest Of Kansas
City. Men Of push and energy are the
materials that make great cities and
Wichita has more of that kind to the
square yard than any other place on
earth. They are alert and wise; they
will never let an opportunity pass that
offers good to this most wonderful OF all

Rock Island Excursions From the
East Bring Many Peopie

The Rock Island low rate excursion run
on October 2. for the purpose OF stimulst-
ing emigration into the west, was a grand
success. over 700 people awaited them
selves Of the chance TO come west at a
moderate cost Many Of these people
will no doubt find homes here, and the
gratitude Of the state should be extended
to the Rock Island road. The second ex-
cursion will be run on October Is, and
emigration agents OF the road say that
IT gives promise Of being the largest ex-
cursion ever run by any railroad. The
low rate Of fare the well known and fav-
orable opportunities IN the west and tho
prosperity abounding throughout the
country is resulting in the heavy traffic
westward. These low rate excursions
were inaugurated by the Rock Island and
are doing an immense amount Of good In
advertising and settling the west

When Mrs. Paul was thrown from her

NO ONE READING LAST WEEK
Library Presented a Deserted Appear
ance and No One Called.

People commenced making visits to the
public library yesterday afternoon, the
first time for a week. A visit there last
week during the carnival found an al
most empty room so far as people were
concerned. Miss Gross, the librarian.
stated that less than half dozen calls
for books were made during the day and
1t was then only more as a reference
than anything else.
The tickets for the library are being
rapidly called for, but people seem to
fail to appreciate that the library is free
and that there is no charge unless for
fines. There are many reference books
for students. and Miss Gross has said
that these are the least called for.
