A Valuable Coin Found.

silver half-dollar of the first mint
age of the year 1853 was found in the
dirt during the excavation in connee-
ation with the Mcintyre building at the
corner of King and Fort streets. The
coin found is rare one and it is said
that the owner has refused $500 for it.
1t is thought that the coin found its
way to Hawaii very soon after it was
minted and before the value of such
coins became known. 1t was then
probably lost and remained buried in
the dirt of the old Mcintyre building
until it was excavated a few days ago.

tain Mckenzie of the San Rafael sent
his ship along under a slow bell.
He was somewhere near Alcatraz
island when the Sausaito, coming
from Sausalito to San Francisco

passengers on the Sausalito, but they
were badly scared and for a few mo

going down. When it was seen that
the Sausalito was not badly injured
she stood by the San Rafael, and Off
GERS, crew and passengers engaged
in the rescue of the unfortunate pas

Both boats are side wheeiers and
ordinarily carry many hundred pas

there were not so many passengers

Interest Of Former DAYS.

NJ. ". Levy and Kos Harris were ex-
changing "reminiscences of early days
Wednesday and the conversation was di-
rected to the interesting subject of money
loaning in the seventies. They recalled
one man who came to Wichita and revo-
lutionized the business by offering to loan
money at twenty and twelve; that is.
twenty per cent interest and twelve per
cent for procuring the money. He was
hailed as public benefactcr and almost
set the old time money loaners crazy.
Previous to that time it was sixty and
twelve and clause inserted in the mort
gage allowing s100 for attorney fees pro-
N1ded collection would have 10 be made

rate not only sought to justify himself.
but actually grieved because the public
failed to realize and acknowledge that
he was a public benefactor AMI the real
maker Of Sedgwick county into the para
disc that it is. His philosophy was this.
that the higher the rate of interest was
the harder a farmer would have to work
to be able to pay it ana the harder he
worked the sooner the valley surround
ing Wichita would be developed. In 9th
er words the bigger the obligation a
farmer woul5 have to meet the more land
he would cultivate to enable him to meet
it. 1t was a peculiar philosophy.

PIoneers Worthy Of Honors.

The question of identifying the interior
of the city building, especially the coun-
Gil chamber, has been revived again and
the committee on public buildings has
been instructed to submit a general rlan
at the next meeting One general sug-
gestior made is that the pictures of the
Eve dead mayors be hung on the walls.
Everybody IN town is for this. The de-
ceased governors Of the city are James
Hope William Grinenstein, George w.
Clements and John B. Carey, all men
who have been strong factors in the build
ing of Wichita and about whose individ-
ual lives clings more than usual interest.
In the case of jim Hope there is only one
picture OF him extant and this is rapidly
fading so that inside of few years the
face Of that picturesque citizen viii be
beyond the knowledge of artists. There
is nothing in Wichita, either in marble or
in canvas thai does honor to William
Griffenstein, the father of Wichita, all Of
which ought 10 make a. people blush for
shame How can the lives Of pioneers be
respected BY future generations when the
generation that knew them failed to fit
tingly recognize their merits? Then there
is John 3. Carey the friend and pro-
moter Of public improvements and the
man who was scrupulously honest in the
public service he rendered to his pet pie.
who cannot say that George Clement
should be forgotten. the man of great
local patriotism and enthusiasm-the man
whose silver tongue and fine brain were
always talking and working for Wichita
He was wrecked with the city when dis
asters came and died poor There could
be nothing more appropriate than that
with the revival of the city his memory
should be honored And the ex-mayors
should not be the only people the city
should honor There are the pioneers
and founders of the metropolis They,
too. should be held in honor. because they
mad worth and merit and carved out and
built rp Il great inheritance for their sue
cessoIs to enjoy. Instead of holoring
gods. demi gods ard pagan godesses who
never existed and who therefore could
never have done any. service for Wichita
the committee on beautfying the public
building should honor those who existed
and served and whose flesh and blood
are still in the citizenship of Wichita.
