In 1872 the Wichita Eagle broke its
shell, and with a shrill scream bought a
new hand-press and began the opinion
moulding business. The editor now oc-
cupies a luxurious Office, with rich tap
estrles torn from the treasures of Eu-
ropean princes. He lois back on q Turk

evening paper. it printed on Monday
morning. and was the only paper in the
state which did SO. Harvey Flemming
who was then on the Eagle. but who is
now managing editor of the Kansas City

several columns Of sensations which the

Biggest Division In America.

It is not generally known that the
Wichita division of the St Louis and
San Francisco railway is the largest
railway division, so far as mileage is
concerned, in the world. There are zoos
miles in daily operation, under charge
of one superintendent. He has but two
trainmasters, and two sets of dispatchers.
The division covers all the line between
Ellsworth. Kansas, Okeene. Oklahoma,
Monett, No, Oklahoma City, and Sher-
man. Texas. with branches in the Joplin
district. This division extends into three
states and two territories and taps min
craI, agricultural. cattle, gas, oil, coal.
salt, cotton and timber districts. 1t prob
ably reaches more various natural re-
sources than any other railroad in the
world.

recital they will be assuring one another

Nearly every hotel everywhere is filled
and some are turning people away
Jacksonville is the first stopping place
in the state. Nearly everyone stops there
to rest ard then they appear to scatter
out to all parts Of the state. It is the
gateway, situated on the hanks OF the
beautiful St Johns river. This stream is
noted for being one of the rivers OF the
world that flows north. 1t is wide and
has several large lakes in it. The burnt
district of Jacksonville Is building up
rapidly with fine hotels, residences. and
business blocks. Tampa is a great ship
ping point for oranges and has many
large cigar factories here, which pay out
to employees S1200 900 every Saturday night.
St Augustine IS the quaintest city in the
state, having been founded by the Spanish
and soma of its narrow crooked streets
today remind one of the larger cities in
Mexico.
Orange trees, roses. lilies, peaches
plums and pears are all out in bloom here
now, so also are the straw hats. The
barefooted boy is now in the climax OF
his happiness.
There are many charming little lakes
in the state which are beautifully sur
rounded by stately pines, palms, msgno-
las Some of the hotels are situated up
on the edge Of these lakes. affording
convenient boating, fishing and hunting.
Around Tampa, and below here are many
valuable 'pineries where pineapples are
grown It is an interesting study 10 visit
them. Those who visited the horticultural
department of the Pan-American last
year have a fair idea of the nature of
a 'pinery1 Last winter while doing

of Tampa on the picturesque Manitee

part of the state in February, 1895. has

plums, peaches and truck gardening all
of which do well in the state anywhere. !
The farmers here and in Southern Geor-
gia plant their oats late in the fall and
use some for winter pasture. etc. No
wheat is seen here. This state produces
a big crop of aIligators. We can buy lit

Ernest Rambeck. who died during the

worst into France. In entering a French
town of considerable magnitude during
the Franco-Prussian war, he had a liver
