The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1903-06-28


you have about you to get out-one cent
a mile to get in and three cents to get
out Judging from the crowds that have
arrived in Wichita and passed through
to the south and west with those that are
here and those still coming there will
be a harvest hand for each shock OF
wheat in the country. Better. stop bring
| ing any more here and send them further
north.
Did you see that alley? What alley?
Well, all the alleys in town have been
! cleaned UP. If your alley has not been
cleaned up telephone the mayor 10 send
| hiseforce of hobos to your alley. II you
know of a stray pile or lot Of tin cans,
old corsets, old shoes and SIGH drop note
! to the city clerk or telephone him and
it will be attended to instanter.
| 1t would be well enough to have your
boats and life preservers ready for If
while the Big river is giving US its
annual June war dance the Little river
| should conclude to join in with a couple
of cloud bursts lot of people living in
this valley will need to hunt for a Mount
Ararat.
1 would stop boys riding bicycles from
| catching on to the street cars and hang
| ing to them as they go rolling along the
street. 1t is very annoying to the pas
sengers, fearing some accident.
AS I stood on the street Friday and
saw the fire company make a run and
saw a demonstration of how 10 stop hitch
| ing teams to the poles along the sidewalk
with the carriage out in the street. that
hose wagon can take the hind wheels of
| a string of carriages across a block with
out Stacking the pace a particle.
| During the famous Beecher- Tilton trial
Henry Ward Beecher was asked what was
| he going to DO in reply TO the very
grave accusation made against him. His
reply was what would you do if while
passing down the street a servant girl
would dump bucket of Stops upon you?
That is what / thought on meeting
young lady on the street, who. in walking
along one of our principal business streets
was de!uged from the second story win
dow with tobacco spit, face. hat, waist
and skirt at one squirt. What could the
young lady do but go home. cry and take
a bath while the slob continues to squirt
his nastiness.
And still the process of cleaning and
clearing the streets of signs and poles
goes on. The combining of plants, using
one pole and removing the other one
takes half of the jobs away. Chief Burt
has succeeded ngetting up a partnership
on the west side of Main street, and fuor-
teen poles have been cut down. Douglas
avenue should do the same thing. Why
use two poles where one is sufficient.
Come. gentlemen, get together and help
improve the looks of our city.
Wherever 1 see man with an armful
of bills, posters or bag Of cards and
hammer 1 would arrest him on suspic-
ion that he was going to the residence
streets to scatter his, bills or tack his
cards on the parking boards.
I would request the gentlemen who own
hedge fences in the city which occupy
one-half of the sidewalk to cut them
/. down.
Mlth what a IoOh VI llilIlSiCu ASS
and doubt was expressed by an occas-
ional visitor who arrived in our city yes
terday upon the Missouri Pacific when
he reached the corner of Main and Doug
las avenue on looking down South Main,
getting a view of the City building, and
when told that it had been standing there
a dozen years or more he could not un-
derstand 1t until told that the wagon cor
raj. poles, boxes, coal houses, police box
and bicycle houses had been removed
from the street and sidewalks.
There is a cemetery organization in the
city supposed TO exist for the purpose of
identifying and adjoining the Maplewood
grounds before it passed into the hands
of the present company. Some OF the
members would like to know how much
money has been expended and how and
what amount is in the treasury at the
present time.
The canal in Market street is all right.
Just the thing for the interurban rail-
road. Market street has now nine or
ten business blocks.
Will YOU kindly remember "heh YOU are
driving on the Avenue and Main street
that the white wings cannot do their
work successfully and watch teams. Also
please drive around them.
That new law relating 10 marriage
should be amended to read that any per-
son being divorced save for the one rea-
son-given in the old Jewish law. should
be allowed to remarry.
l think the sexton of the Unitarian
church is very remiss OF his duty in car
ing for the grounds around the building.
In the case OF young men in our city
on small salaries buying Panama hats on
the intalment plan I consider IL proper
proceeding. young man who is par
ticular OF his dress and VIII take care
of his personal snd physical comforts and
interests TO that extent does not blow
his money in on billiards and like amuse-
mants and II will not be long before he
win have his salary raised so that he
can pay cash. You need have no fears OF
such fellows getting on in the world
MONUMENT TO SLAVE.
