OVER A MILLION
LETTERS SENT
That's Record for Business,
for 90 Days.
Ia PER CENT INCREASE
For Year Shows Wonderful
Growth of City.
IA PER CENT INCREASE

Over one million letters OF first class
character have been sent out Of Wichita
in the last three months. From this
some idea of the enormous amount of
business being done in this city can be
formed According to the quarterly re-
port of the postmaster OF Wichita, which
was forwarded TO Washington yester-
day. the amount Of postage stamps sold
during the time covered by the report is
$23. .2Ss52.
This is but one item. Leaving the
money order business out of the calcu-
lations the total receipts for the three
months from the people OF Wichita was
S24. so9S So, or about $500 Add TO this the
amount of currency sent into the Wich-
ita office. a depository for the smaller
postofhces, this amount being Sl6. 1853.
and the total is 4l.097.Ss This $4,000 and
more is placed in Wichita banks and
thus Wichita receives the benefit OF the
use Of money raised from an area Of
many hundred miles around
For the year ending March 81, 1893, the
increase in the business done by the
Wichita postoftice is Is per cent What
correspondingly high rate OF increase
in the general business world of Wichita
means can be readily seen.
The postmaster estimates that the rev,
enues of the Office will without any
doubt exceed s1OO.oe0 the coming year
A few OF the other important items Of
the income and disbursements for the
past ninety days show
That salaries amounting to s10,0 81
were paid to As people.
That ss.9s2.7 was paid 70 railway mail
clerks in salaries.
That s4,27e-s6 was disbursed for free de-
livery service.
That horse hire for city delivery
amounted 10 s3l25s.
That s22 500, over and above expenses
was RENTED to the United States treas
ury department. of which fact if every
postoftice in the country could boast the
postoftice system might be a paying in
vcstment.
These figures make it superiuous to
say that Wichita Is growing; growing
more rapidly than any other city in the
state Of Kansas; growing in business. in
population and in permanent construc-
ton and improvements. 4 finer class of
both business houses and residences are
being built. Businenss houses and build
fngs now under contract for immediate
construction aggregate a half million
dollars In value.
Another proof OF this more than graft
flying growth is the bank clearing house
reports for the past several weeks. The
percent OF increase over last year pub
iished yesterday morning shows Wich-
ita leading all the other cities in the
country.

Fred Brown is on Road to Speedy Re-

Yesterday Mrs. N. S. Brown of 251 Ida

pital in this city for treatment. In the
meantime q man named Dunham, who
was in the habit of visiting Dunn at
the hospital, was apprehended by De-
tective Sutton on suspicion Of having been
implicated IN the Clarksville bank rob
berry This naturally led the police 10

investigation, they also connected him
with The bank robbery, the wound for
which he was being treated was supposed
to have been received in the fight which
ended in the death of Sheriff Powers.
Late in March. and after Dunn had
been placed under guard. a fight occurred
at St Francis hospital between the
forces Of Sheriff Simmons and the police
as TO which should have official custody
of him. a few nights afterward he eyaded
the guards al the hospital and escaped,
causing. at the time quite a sensation.
Recently, il is said, Dunns wife left

The chief defect of the box kite, Of
which DR.. Langley's aerodrome is an
elaboration, is that the weight in.
creases with the cube as rapidly as
the lifting power does with the
square, so that the larger the kite
the less it will lift in proportion.
