WHICH CORNER
WILL GET BIG
BUILDING
Rumored Several are Under
Discussion.
WOULD BE GOLD MINE
To the Man or Corporation
That Put 1t Up.
WOULD BE GOLD MINE

Yesterday. for the first time in months,
the big modern Office building rumor''
was abroad in Wichita. Investigation
proved that three or four plans are in
embryo, but that none have reached a
definite stage. Five corners. it was found,
are aspirants for the structure which
everybody agrees would create a com
merciaI beehive in this city.
The first spoken of is the southeast
corner of Main street and Douglas, the
site at present occupied by the National
Bank Of Commerce. It has been rum
ored pe1sistenuy that big building was
contemplated at this point Mr. A. c.
Jobes was asked about it yesterday and
said that he believed that such a build
ing would be a paying investment of the
first class. but denied that any definite
steps had been taken.
The next corner under public consid-
Grafton is the southeast corner OF Main
street and Douglas, now occupied by the
Boston Store. All that could be dis
covered in this matter was that the pro-
posed syndicate which planned to rear
a great Office building on this site was
still hanging fire. but from the expression
Of men of means who We're asked about
such an investment and expressed their
willingness to subscribe TO the invest
ment. the only reason apparent for the
failure of action, is the want OF some
one to take the initiative.
The third corner under discussion in
Office on Williams street. This is re-
garded as an ideal site but inquiry
proved that nothing is contemplated there
at present.
A lively rumor had It that on the Smyth
corner. on Douglas and Main, big build
ing was being seriously considered. If
this IS true It could not be discovered.
Another report had It that the corner
across the street on Lawrence and Doug
las recently purchased Of the Barnes
estate by a Kalamazoo banker for $4,000,
was the corner which was to be gAced
by the big building. This conjecture was
strengthened through the reason that the
present small frame building which oc-
cupies it, cannot return an adequate in
terest on the investment
The story Of a big modern Office build
ing in Wichita IS always given much
life through the generally accepted belief
that such structure would be a gold
mine to the man or corporation which
built It. 1t is said to be possible TO lease
in Wichita every inch of floor space in
a modern structure, with rapid elevator,
for five years before n brick could be laid.

FL DORADO WAS
NOT IN GAME
Business College Defeated
Them by Score of 10 10 2.
WAS ONE SIDED GAME
But Some Snappy Ball Was
Played.

The EIdorado baseball team came to
Wichita with plumes flying and banners
waving and met the Wichita Business
college team on the Paramount field and
the Eldorado boys went home with their
banners trailing in the dust and their
caps on one ear. for the local team ad-
ministered 20 them the hardest drubbing
they ever had. The score at the end OF
the ninth inning was % TO in favor Of
the Business college. Wichita walked up
to the plate and smacked the ball in the
nose and then trotted around the diamond
while the ElDorado lads looked on. but
courd not join in the fun. It was the
most one-sided game played in this city
for a long time.
Although the score was high on one side
the game was not without its redeeming
features. with the exception OF two in
nings. the first and sixth. The first
inning, the Business college team with
two hits. a base on balls, two errors and
good baserunning. worked five men
four hits. two errors and two sacrifice
hits brought in six runs. In the fourth
and seventh innings a run was scored in
each.
The Ell Dorado team was never danger
Gus and in the second inning they could
get but two scores, and this was on an
error. LimpSin, who was on the rubber
for the visitors. had a glass arm during
two innings but after going up in the air
he was Strengthened up and was effective.
In the two innings he allowed ten safe
hits, and during the game he give two
men passes 10 first. He struck out four
locals. Betch allowed but one measley
hit and allowed three men to walk TO
first. but twelve visitors were puzzled
by his twisters and famed the air The

TIE NER Fiscal KnAR.

Today begins the new fiscal year Of the
government and the notable fact in con
nection with It is the abolition Of the
var taxes Of 1898. After today the
taxes which were levied to carry on The
war with Spain will end and the prom
Use given by the republican party that
these taxes should be abolished as soon
as 1t was practicable to do so will go
into effect. 1t is another illustration of
the good faith Of the party In power in
carrying out Its assurances to the peo-
pie.
The abolition Of what lie known as the
war taxes will take a considerable sum
out Of the annual of the gov
eminent. Those taxes yielded a large
sum, but they are no longer necessary.
and the republican party, following Its
uniform policy Of relieving the people
of unnecessary tax burdens, has ordered
the REIMBURSEMENT Of this taxation,
which amounted to many millions an
nually. While 1t is true that these taxes
were not felt to be particularly burden
some, because of the general prosperity
Of the country, there will be a general
feeling of satisfaction that they are re-
pealed. AS to the effect upon the rev.
enues of the government, the reduction
will amount to a larg sum, but accord
ing to official estimates there lie no
danger Of a deficit resulting, unless con-
gress should be more extravagant In the
matter Of appropriations at the next ses-
sion than 1t has been in the present one.
1t is not probable that 1t will be- On
the contrary, it is reasonably to be ex-
pected that the disposition will be to
curtail appropriations for the next fiscal
year to what is absolutely necessary to
the public service. The appropriations
at the present session have been on a
pretty liberal scale and 1t may fairly be
assumed that the limit has almost been
reached.
At all events the cutting of Of taxes,
which will reduce the income Of the
government many millions annually,
must compel congress to pursue a CON
servative and prudent course in expendi-
lures. The national treasury is well pro-
vided with money and the revenue out
look is satisfactory, but the situation
does not warrant undue extravaganza in
public expenditure.

part Of millionsirss that have mere money
than they know what to do with. The
fact of the matter Is that the genius OF
the newer education has begun to inhu-
ence even the millionaire, who had few
chances for education himself and made
his way up from poverty by sheer brute
force. His endowments are his tribute to
the gods Of his lost opportunities which
are present before him the mere clearly In
the light Of his great financial success, In
the broadening life Of the community the

worth anything the end itself is werth,
II Is not the millionaire. whe Is making

confidence Of his board of directors, who
felt forced to exercise his functions
themselves through committees or indi-
vidual members. Imagine any other big
Institution under like conditions whose
general manager because Of his incom-
potency had to be shorn of authority,
without which discipline is impossible.
Would not a change in manager be i'm
perative as soon as his contract should
expire7 Would the stockholders of any
large concern allow the directors to
Jeopardize its success by retaining a
general superintendent or manager who
lacked the necessary executive ability
and was unable to command the respect
of su%bordinates or superiors?
This is precisely the handicap under
which the public schools of Omaha have
been administered for several years
past and under which they will con-
tinue to be weighted down until a COM
petent educator is placed at the helm as
superintendent.

OUR GROWING EXPORTS.

Evidence of the magnificent expansion
of the business of the United States is
seen in the statistics of the exports for
the eleven months of the fiscal year
ending with May. They show a volume
of exports almosti unprecedented and
which attest, particularly with reference
to the agricultural products, something
absolutely out of the ordinary. : For ex-
ample, the statistics show that the ex-
ports of agricultural products last year
were greater than eve before for any
single year, and this Notwithstanding
the fact that in the same period we will
also SEND abroad a greater amount of
manufactured products than ever be-
fore in our history.
These facts are particularly impress
sive. They demonstrate a commercial
power on the part of the United States
that is infinitely greater than any politi-
cal influence which it a possibly exert.
The real power which this country is ex-
ercising today and will exert in the
future is absolutely financial and COM
mercial. The productive energy and
power of the United States, the indus
trial expansion and growth of this ma
ton, will have more to do with b
spread of it's influence and authority
than even its political and diplomatic
power.
That our trade will continue to expand
seems to be an absolute certainty. All
the conditions favor this proposition and
especially the fact that we are able to
surpass every other country in both the
quality and the quantity Of our
labor. The fact is universally recog-
nized that American labor is the
best and most productive and et1-
cient in the world, and 1t Is
largely due to this that we are able to
outbid and outvie the world in all the
contests In which labor is the chief ele-
ment. What has already been accom-
plished in the extension of u manu-
features to foreign markets suggests
that greater achievement lies In the fu-
ture. The superiority Of American labor
that has won so much in the past can
reasonably be depended upon to win
more in the future. We are today
stronger than ever before in all our his
tory in those conditions which make for
material progress and there is every
reason to expect that in the years to
come our advance in the markets Of the
world will be more rapid than in the
past.
