Items of Interest About Differ
emf Employees.

| 1t now looks quite favorable that Wich-
| line will open up new and fertile por-
ton of Oklahoma which is not pene-
trated by any other at present. The
citizens of the western part of the terri
tory are becoming greatly interested in
this new enterprise and are doing much
toward getting the road TO build through
their section. The following letter writ
ten to Secretary Resting of the CONNER
cial club is self-explanatory:
Selling, Q. T., Feb. 49, 1904
Secretary of Commercial Club, Wichita,
Kan:
Dear Sir: Believing the commercial
interests of Wichita 10 De interested IN
having direct railroad communication
with western Oklahoma, the people of
this section are DESTROYS of enlisting your
cooperation in securing the proposed
road from kioWa to Elk City and from
there south.
The geographical location of Selling is
such that with the location OF a through
line, giving fair freight rates, it must
become the principal trading point for a
first class farming section extending
twenty-five To thirty miles in all direc-
tons, excepting a small segment of such
circle, lying within the large northern
bend of the Canadian river, directly
south of this place.
Being located on the narrOwest strip
between the North and South Canadian
rivers ana near the intersection Of Wood
ward. Woods and Dewey counties, and
now having the trade from large areas
of all three counties, ii is easy to see the
Advantages such line of road would
bring us.
our people are awake to the benefits
to be gained and are ready To do the fair
thing with the railroad company. We
believe it possible to secure the right
of way from the Cimarron to the South
Canadian river.
If your people fully understood the
character of the country and the desira-
bility of our town location it would al
once be seen that We are the most i'm
poftant point between Kiowa and Elk
City
Probably John Poverty of Lehman
Higginson Grocery company knows as
much about this section as any man from
your town.
We shall be pleased to hear from you.
and to receive any suggestions in the
matter. Very truly yours.

PROFESSOR BLUME
DIES SUDDENLY
Death Came at an Unexpected
Moment.
AT TER A SHORT ILLNESS
VioIiniSt Had Lived Here Many
Many Years.

Prof. c. H. Blume died at 1870 O'Clock
yesterday morning at the Battle Greek
sanitarium, 81 North Market street. The
professor was one of Wichitas best
known violinists and, although he had
been in i'll health the greater part of the
winter, his sudden death yesterday was
great shock to his wide circle of
friends
lie first suffered from an attack of
pneumonia but had recovered sufficiently
to be able to play IN public again. His
last engagement was filled just a week
ago. 1t is thought by his friends that he
was too hasty and overtaxed his strength
before he had entirely recovered from
his previous illness.
About a week ago he was taken to the
Battle Creek sanitarium. where he was
considered dangerously sick for some
time. but on Monday afternoon he seemed
much improved and in The evening Mrs
Hume who had been staying with him
wont TO their home. At 100 she was
summoned to the sanitaTium by tele-
phone message, but she arrived there too
late to see him alive. 1t was said that
a doctor who was in the next room to
Mr.. Blume heard a peculiar noise and
hastily entered the room. where he found
upon examination that the patient was
dead Up, to that time he was thought
TO be improving and it is supposed that
h was suddenly seized with an attack
of pleuriSy. to which he succumbed in
stantly
arl wac m TDnSSpl1nTf
Germany. in 1856 and came TO America
while just a young boy. He was violin
fist Of unusual ability and stood without
q peer in the musical circles in the city.
He came to Wichita in 1892 and was at
that time in the employment of Thomas
Shaw In 1894 Mr.. Bume started out for
himself and was a great success, espe-
cially in music furnished for dances. His
circle of popularity as a musician eX-
tended far down into Oklahoma. as far
east in the state as Fort Scott and out
in the western part as far as Larned.
al of which places his orchestra was
well known and frequently furnished the
music for different social events. Hutch
fnson. Newton, Ell Dorado and yelling
ton and other neighboring towns usu-
ally employed Prof. Blume's orchestra for
their social festivities.
Professor Blume was also leader of the
orchestra in the Sunday school of the
First NJ E. church He also played at
the pro-cathedral. Prior to his coming
10 Wichita he was leader of the United
States band at Fort Mckinney. Although
Professor Blume had travelled in nearly
ali localities of the United States, he set
tied in Wichita. choosing this city as
his home. and often expressing warm
praise in its advancement and prosperity.
He leaves wife and three sons-Her-
man, Fred and George-to mourn his loss
and to whom the community extend their
deeDest sympathy.
The funeral services have not been an
nourcod as yet but will probably take
place Thursday morning from the pro-
cathedral. The Musicians union will at
tend the funeral in body and Will fur
nish the music for the services.
