MADE GOOD PROFIT.
Deacon Wilson Secured $500 for Ten
Acres Of kaffir Corn.

Deacon Wilson Secured $500 for Ten
Acres OF kaffir Corn.
Many instances of profitable farming
in the Arkansas valley have been related
in the Eagle. but Deacon Wilson's ex-
perience in raising kahir corn last year
for clean profit beats anything hereto
fore published.
Mr.. Wilson told a reporter for the
Eagle yesterday that he had made big
money raising kaffr corn. He said last
May be planted ten acres of his land 10
kafir corn. and the value of that crop
was astounding 10 him.
The chinch bugs ate up about one acre,
which left him only nine acres to har-
vest The ground had formerly been
seeded to sugar cane, and he said that
al over the kahir corn patch there We're
stalks OF cane. He discovered that there
was a demand for kaffr corn at the seed
stores in this city. and he determined to
let the corn get ripe instead of cutting It
green for fodder. as he had Intended.
When he topped lne corn, he threw every
stalk of cane in separate pile.
Hc throshed the kafnr corn and sold It
in this city for $40 and had $40 worth Of
cane seed left. and then he took his
moving machine and moved the kafir
corn stalks for fodder after il had been
TOPPED. and be thinks the fodder was
worth another forty dollars, making in

BIC BLOCK PLANNED
Rumored Offer Made for the
Boston Store Corner
WOULD GIVE $4,000
Syndicate Ready to Put Up
Six-Story Building.

Overtures are being made to the par
ties who own the property between the
Eagle Office and Main street with a view
to buying it for site for what is plan
ned to be the finest commercial and Of
fee building in Kansas. 1t is hard 70
get the owners to set a price on it as
they Go not want TO sell It is stated
! unofficially that bid of $4,000 has been
made for the property. What the result
Of this rumored offer has been is not yet
known.
1t is said that the bid has been made
by local syndicate of capitalists who
mean business and are in absolute good
faith IN their effort TO secure the prop
erty. It is doubtful whether they can
can get il as it is understood that Wal
lenstein and Cohn who wanted 10 buy
the property have been assured that it
Is not for sale.
An Eagle reporter has got the state
ment from reliable authority that the
money is in sight to erect a $4,000 build
ing en- the site if it can be purchased
One man who has at least $4,000 to spare
for such an investment told the reporter
that between him and two others they
could spare more than half the cost in
volved in the proposition and that there
would be no doubt about the syndicate's
ability 10 raise the money provided the
property can be purchased. OF course
there are no natural plans so far, but
! the informal plan Of the syndicate is 70
tear down the present block consisting
OF five two-story rooms and TO erect one
massive six-story building. This build
ing would be constructed for store rooms,
a large chamber of commerce hall and
offices arranged according TO modern
ideas It is proposed to have a law
library in the building and to have a per-
feet janitor system by which offices
would be cleaned, ventilated and heated
at the expense Of the owners of the build
ing. A perfect system of elevators is
also proposed SO as to make the block an
ideal Office building in every respect.
Some figures have been made that are
compl etc in detail and experts on rental
values are positive that a building of that
kind would bring in an income of eight
per cent.
Another proposition in connection with
this syndicate is. in the event of failure
TO get this property, to buy the corner
opposite the postofice building and erect
an Office building there, but this PROPOSE
ton is not nearly so popular as the one
to build on the Boston Store site. 1t is
quite evident that there is a strong dis
position and inclination to erect a modern
Office building somewhere in Wichita and

BOUGHT MORE LAND
Frank Means Invests s., 900 More in
Sedg.tilk nmntY

Yesterday Leopold Hays, the whole
sale saddler. sold his farm of go acres
six miles east of town to Frank Means,
for $1,000 The deal was accomplished
by Fred Israel who says that Mr.. Means
secured a handsome bargain. Mr.. Means
began in this county with one farm, and
il is said that he now owns sixteen o.
seventeen. lie certainly has the wolf-at-
the-doOr question solved. as 1t Is esti-
mated that his annual profits from his
acquired landed possessions are about
equal to the value OF his farms. The
compromising Of his farm possessions bids
fair to make him one of the wealthiest
men in the county.

1t is said that Pierpont Morgan's
alleged decision to defeat the Piesi-
dent for denomination il possible had
its origin when Mr.. Roosevelt was
Governor of New York State. At that
time Il bill taxing franchises was pass
ed by the legislature at the Governors
urgent suggestion. OF course the
corporations were all against it and
Mr.. Morgan made personal appeal
to Roosevelt on the subject. 1t was
the great fnaDcier's first personal e.
fort to influence legislation, and he
was cmphatically turned down, the
Governor paying no more attention
to his request than if it had been pre-
ferred by a broker. The bill went
through and is now on the statute
books, aud his defeat has ranked in
Mr.. Morgan's mind ever since.

The Boers are still fighting. The lat

rounded a house to each Beers in sup

pened:
A single Boer broke away from the
house, and the British started TO pursue
him. The Boer climbed a kopje, the
British following. Immediately a heavy
fire was opened upon them from three
sides. The British fou Id themselves in
