Daily To be Increased "When Duild-'
' Ing is Conlpletcd.
Some montho ago Mr. George Kuisz.
of
St. Louis, who has spent twenty yeava in
the paint lousiness jind who was operating
a paint establishment in that city, decided
to make an observation of the west with
the intention of storting a plant farther
west, if the surroundings called for it. He
visited Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska,
and Denver. While they offered some in
ducements for such an enterprise, he was
not thoroughly satisfied to make a change.
Returning to St. Louis with the intention
of continuing. business there, near two
months ago 3Ir. Steinhaufcr, of Stein-hauser-Merkle
who "had heard of his
looking for a more suitable loca
tion, called on liim to talk Wichita
and Kansas. Mr. Krusz had heard con
siderable of this section, and was easilj-
mduced to give the matter an investiga
tion. On his. ay to Wichita he stopped
at Leavenworth and Topeka, taking in
their importance as manufacturing towns.
Reaching the city he made an iuvestiga-
tion lasting some days, and then took a
I trip down into the southwest and out
west. Returning lie decided to locate
here, and immediately work wsts com
menced in organizing a company. It was
not long until the Kansas Paint Manufac
turing company was organized, with a
capital stock of .S.")0,000. 31 r.
George R. Steiahouser is pres
ident, E. Steinhou-er vice-president,
II. II. Linze, secretary and treasurer; Geo.
Krusz. expeit and superintendent.
As soon as the organization was effected
Mr. Krusc returned to St. Louis, closed
out his business there and visiting Chi
cago and New York, purchased machinery
for the Wichita plant costing 20,000. No
time was lost in getting it here aud put
ting it in place.
For the piesent the machinery is in the
third floor of the Steinhauser-Merklebuild-
jng. V. ork was commenced last Tuesday
and the plant is turning out over twelve
hundred gallons of paint per day. The
establishment gives employment to
firteen hands. At present one
traveling man, Mr. Hamburg, is on
the road and two moie will be added on
first of next month. Theordeis from the
city have been especially encouraging,
while the trade in the southwest and west
has been even more than could be ex
pected Yesteiday's mail from Winfield
"and Caldwell brought good sized orders,
the result of seeing the price list of what
Wichita can do in the way of manufaetur

feature ouite enco'irnirinir to the cnmmtnv

here as in St. Louis. He had fignied on it
costing something more but happily found
he was mistaken.
The company will make perfectly pure
paints, ground inliuseed oil. lead and zinc,
muKing a beautiful finish and more dura

the latest improved Mr. Krusz claims
that his ideas ot mixing paints are new
and best chemistry on the subject is fol
lowed. The company is electing on the sooth
side of the Steinhauser-Merkle building a
four stoiy brick with a front of fifty feet
and one hundred aud forty feet deep. The
building lias reached the second story and
when completed -will lieentiiely occupied
by the paint fact on.
The machinery will be run bj two twenty-five
horse power engines furnished with
steam by a sixty Iioim; power boiler. A
kiln and crusher will be added, and the
machinery of the plant will be increased
costing not L'ss than ."o,0iX). They will
then nnke all varieties of colors ;md
be the largest paint manufacturing
onipany west, of St. Louis if not
the largest west of Pittsburg, Pennsylva
nia. It is the only establishment of the
laim in uie tnie and the company is more
and more pleased every day with" the en
terprise. They are "daiiv filling good
ouiers in the city, one of the most impor
tant of which is orders for the Burton Car
works.
Machinery has already been ordered for
the plant, to be p.it in the building now
lK'ing creeled. When work is commenced
with the increased capacity over fifty
hands will be employed. The company

After the reading and adoption of the

Discussion of the above was opened by
Mr. W. S. Williams, who made the follow

j Mr. W. M. Ander.son next read a paper
! on, "The Child's First Day in School," and
interspersed the same with some remai ks
on his own work.
The speaker on the subject, "Political
Science in Common Schools," being absent
Mr. C. if. Sharpe, the leader of the discus
sion, was called. He denied the justice or
possibility of teaching the subject
branch of study to children. Mr. llo-" de
manded it for all pupils on tiie ground that
republics especially needed it. Prof 'Fit.
patrick denies any need for teaching the
science to American boys or girls either
for that matter. Theoric scientists hae
ever been opposed to the best i uteres ts of

Practical science skeins the
birthright of Americans They breathe
its spirit in the air. As a matter of pat-
' riotism we need it not. Patriotism is not
derd, but a living reality awaiting only
the occasion to breathe foi th anew.
Prof. Naylor then jnesented the practi
cability of "experiments in natural science'
in common schools as a means of interest
ing pupils in other studies. He illustrated
his arguments by the history of numerous

and practical, and opened up new fields of
thought and inquiry to many teachers.

showed the detrimental effects of certain

Prof. Fitzpatrick, so well known in onr '
county, next spoke in a very interesting
manner. He denied that teaching!
has yet arrived at the dig-'
nity of a science. The problem '
of life is before us all. and manv of us will
work it out successfully in as many difier

As is known, the Wichita Boot and Shoe
Manufacturing company was. organized
last July with a capital stock of $50,000,
with Theodore Deming president and su
perintendent; C. F. CofQn, secretary; J. E
McClung, treasurer and manager. The
board of directors now in charge are Theo
dore Deming, C. F. Coffin, J. E. McClung.
F. Wunderlich aud S. A. McClung. The
directory takes in the leading stockholders
of the company. Soon after the company
was organized work on a building, 30x00
and three stories, on the corner of Robert
and Weston avenues, in the southwestern
part of the citv, was commenced. Everv-
thJnS progressed as rapidly as possible and
the factory some davs ago commenced
work.
The officers of the company are from
New Albany, Indiana, and for a number of
years were engaged in the same kind of an
enterprise. They are experienced men in
that line, and are much pleased with the
business outlook at the new plant
Last Thurday's visit of hundr eds of peo
pie from the city, in response to invitation
from the proprietor, was quite eutertain
ing to the public and gratifying to the
company. A member stated yesterday that
i he did not think any citv could take as
! much interest in her manufacturing in
i dustrie as AVichita evidently dtvs As
specimens of their work ou thatd.t Misses
Mamie Mend and Kate Murdock were
each presented with an elegant pair of
twenty-two button shoes. Since Thursday
the visitors have been many both from the
country and city, aud with pleasure the
1 the proprietors have shown them through
the factory. ,
The company gets it stock from Phila
delphia, New-York and St. Louis, consist
ing of kid, goat, calf, and glove calf up
pers. Bottoms are made of oak sole leath
er. The stock for tippers is taken to the
third floor in the cutting room. The cut
ter is given a ticket showing quality of.
stock and kind to be used, sizes and styles
of upper to be cut. When the cutter has
done his work, the order is passed on to
the foielady of the room, who cuts linings
and the order is again moved to the losei
From this it goes to the rubber, where the
seams are rubbed down. Seanis stayed, i'
passes on to side stitching, button hole
machine, then to a table where buttons are
.-ewed on. The order is then sent to tin
second floor. The ticket is passed to the
first floor, on which is the department
where soles and heels are died out 'lit
' part of the order is sent to th'- si ,n.d
I floor aud the uppers and soles are given to
J the luster. From him it goes to the '
Standard sewing machine. The heeler is
I the next man, according to the logic of the j
1 factors, that gets a chance, it passes '
j fiom him to the trimmer, burtdsher and j
finisher, who, with a i.ipidly i evolving

The boiler and engine are nfieen horse
j and located on the first floor. On the third j
; floor are a liumlwr of Wheeler & Wilson
sewing machines, buttonhole machine,
vamp folding machine, crimping machine.
j punching and eyeleting machine, sheer. J
j cutting patterns, crimping forms. On the
third floor is sole leather rolling machine, I
! ,i.:,.i.
is quite a mnrKed improvement on i
the flat-iron and hammer combination, i
sole leather splitting machine, MoKaUsj
sole eviug machine, and sand paper
machine. 1
The stock is kept on the first floor and is
of the best made, and handled by first
class operators. Thirty hands are now
employed the most of the work on the '
third floor being done by ladies. It is
thought that before many months the
factory will give employment to seventj
five workmen. TIip company is
much pleased with orders m far
j and as a result the proprietor- are glad
j they finally decided to come to Wichita.
The company will lie reorganized in a
j few months with a capital stock of ?Hf i

the south will be erected another brick
