]. ". MILLER VISITS WICHITA
FORMER RESIDENT RETURNS AT.
TER ABSENCE OF 10 YEARS.
Man Who Built Fort Scott and West
ern Railway Talks of City-Is Ac-
companied by His Wife.

j. w. Miller, former Wichitan, who
built the Fort Scott and Western railroad
into this city, and who is now general
manager Of the Long Island Steamship
line, of New York. was here yesterday
looking after his private railroad inter-
ests and incidentally had some very
pretty things to say of Wichita.
Mr. Miller was. in an early day, one
of the leading business factors in the
citys onward march and helped to lay
the foundation for greater Wichita. In
1856 he moved to New York city and
became connected with the greatest rail-
road interests of the east, since which
time he has been gradually forging to
the front in the wealth-producing cir
Giles of New York.
Mr.. Miller is a pleasant, courteous
gentleman and. in conversation with
reporter for the Eagle, said:
Indeed. sir" in answer to question
of the reporter as to whether he would
consent to an interview, with great
pleasure shall I talk to YOU
with due respect to other cities OF
Kansas he continued, lit behooves me
to say that your city is just a little the
most progressive and fourishing in the
state. l have at heart the interests Of
all Kansas, but Wichita looms up in
my memory as dear old-time home,
and l cannot readily forget it"
1T was a surprise to me to see the
growth the city has made; and the thor
oughness of business industries; the
thriving fervor manifested in manufac-
turing circles; the cleanliness of the
streets; the beauty of Riverside park,
and the general commercial aspect OF
the city greatly impressed me-"
"I have missed many old friends who
have left in the course of time; friends
who were both dear and helpful asso-
ciates of mine.
Wichita, in all its prosperity, ought
not to forget Marsh Murdoch, Kos Har-
ris, Mr. NiederIander, NJ. w. Levy, Mr..
Oliver and others who did so much twen-
ty years ago to bring railroads here and
start Wichita on its era Of prosperity.
When asked about the political stu
alton. Mr.. Miller said: 81 am not a
politician; my business is centered on
railroads and steamship lines
Mr. Miller. in company with his wife,
returned home yesterday. after remain
ing in the city three days. They were
stopping at the Hotel Hamilton.

TO GET $4,000.
Members of Cemetery Association
Will Raise a "Care Fund"

Ten thousand dollars is the sum which
the ladies who have for the past four
years been caring for the old cemetery,
now hope to raise for a permanent care
fund
More than two-thrds of Highland
cemetery was sold years ago and the title
passed to the lot owners. AS many OF
these lot owners are non-residents, and
many more are careless about such mat
tiers, it was but natural that the part OF
the cemetery thus sold should get TO
looking neglected, forlorn and desolate.
as is the history of all cemeteries where
q permanent care fund is not created.
The cost of caring for a cemetery as
o whole is but 1.-THE of what the eN-
pense would be to individual lot owners,
each paying for their plat, and sooner
or later almost every lot ceases to have
fits interested overseer. The movement
for a permanent endowment and per-
petual trusteeship, is therefore in all re-
spects a worthy one and will no doubt
be encouraged and literally subscribed
to by the people, especially by every lot
owner in Highland cemetery. AS only
four to five per cent interest can be
relied upon for safe, long investments,
Is is proposed to raise fund of $4,000
IL possible This will give an annual
income of $500 to 500, which will keep
the cemetery in tidy condition for all
time to come. Through the kindness OF
Judge Sluss, in cooperation with the
Ladies Highland Cemetery Improve
ment association, the following board OF
trustees has been appointed to care for
this fund and to see that interest only
II expended each year in caring for the
old Highland cemetery: Coler l.. Sim.
president: Chas. Lawrence, secretary and
treasurer: Martha Ferguson, j. NJ. Allen
A. A. Hyde tinlay Ross; vacancies in
the board are 10 be filed by the district
court The Ladies Improvement asso-
citation has subscribed $1,000, Maple Grove
Cemetery company. s,eO. and various
lot owners and organizations of the city
are subscribing literally.
Mrs. Ferguson has probably done more
than any one person in pushing forward
this movement and deserves great praise
and, encouragement Subscriptions made
to her or TO any of the above board OF
trustees will be thankfully received by
the ladies.
