IT'S A UNIVERSITY
Planted on College Mill by the Ger
man Reformed Church.
Tlie Cty Donates a JtcautSful site and Uclldings,
While the Church liaises an Kodowmcnt
Fund. Wichita the Athens of the
Southwest as Well as the
Commercial Center.
About throe mouth? ago, Rev. D. B.
Shuey, of the German Reformed church,
was in this cit3'. lie is engaged in mission
ary work in Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado.
While here a meeting was called at Mr. N.
F. Xiederlander's office, which was attended
by himself and a numlxjr of the prominent
citizens of the city. The object was to dis
cuss tho propriety of tho German Reformed
churcli locating a university ia this city.
The task seemed a herculean one to all who
were present, but despite that fact it was de
cided to further investigate the question.
Tlio first meeting resulted in adopting reso
lutions relating to the organization, and
notice was given that a board of trustees
would be elected at the next meeting consist
ing of prominent members of tho church,
and a few of the leading citizens of the city.
A subscription paper was set in circulation
and at first led to moderate success. Mr.
Fees gave tho enterprise substantial encour
agement by donating twenty acres of land
on the summit of College Hill, near two miles
southeast of tho city. It commands, per
haps, the most comprehensive view of the
city ami valley of an' point on the hill. It
is in every particular suitable for the loca
tion of an institution of learning.
Tho liberal support extended by Mr. Fees
was quite sufficient to lend courage to the
most doubting of those who were aware of
tlio enterprise. Tlio funds of the subscrip
tion paper were increased and a new impetus
imparted.
The committee appointed to take tho mat
ter in charge lost no opportunity to get in
the good work. As yet it was an experiment,
a thing of possibilities, but the prize was of
such value there was no timo for discour
agement.. A number of meetings were held and re
ports of tho different committees submitted
and a plan of procedure discussed and all
worked for the grand consummation of tho
task. It was not until three weeks ago that
.those who had been connected witli the af
fair were able to make a definite proposition.
Rev. Shuey attended a meeting held at that
time and it was agreed lo give grounds and
buildings if the chuich would come forward
with an endowment fund. Rev. Shuey said j
ho believed he would be able to raise the latter
and expressed himself as well pleaded by the
oirer made by the city. Ho said ho would
immediately go to Fennsj-lvama and attend
the meeting of three synods for the purpose
of imparting tho news to them and raise the
necessary money. A letter was received in
the city a few days ago from him slating
that he had attended the meeting of two of
the s3nods and the money asked from each
had been voted almost unanimously. The
third which he referred to will meet in Phila
delphia this week, and ho writes that lie is
not at all alarmed but that tho remainder of
the money will be voted.
As tho matter stands Rev. Shuey writes
that the question may be regarded as set
tled. Tho church will furnish tho endow
ment fund agreed upon, and now the con
necting link is a few thousand dollars yet re
maining to bo raised by Wichita.
With a few days of average Wichita gen
erosity this amount will be raised and another
university w ill bo located ia this city. This
work of completing the subset iption money
will bo commenced immediately with in
creased vigor. Those who are inclined to do
nate to educational institutions will bo given
an Opportunity to do so. Tho subscription
paper is in the hands of Mr. J. D. Hutchtngs
at Xiedorlander's oflicc.
Those who havo taken this matter in hand
have moved very quietly all along the route.
They havo sounded no trumpet or sought
publicity, but have adopted the characteris
tic German method of moving slowly but
surely.
Tho plan of the building has not yet beende
cided upon, but sufficient money Avill be ap
propriated for it to make it ,0110 of
tha best in tlio state and it is
proposed to supply it with all tho conven
iences and modern appointments and make it
in every particular first-class.
Of course but little is now known concern
ing the cxtensivencss of tho course of study.
But with the endowment fund agreed upon a
faculty consisting of several members can
bo employed, which calls for an extensive
curriculum. It is not without reason to sus
pect that tho present fund will gradually in
crease which will extend the educational
facilities.
The church in this state is not largely rep
resented, but in the eastern states it is very
strong, and additional funds from there
can well bo expected. From tho beginning
the institution starts out under highly favor
able auspices. It is placed upon a sound
financial basis, and it cannot in the first fow
years suffer as main- similar institutions in
their infancy. Its life will not depend upon
the number of students in attendance. It is
thus protected from the dangers that often
times prove fatal to similar institutions.
COUNT V TEACH EKS ASSOCIATION'.
Tim Sedgwick County Teachers' Associa
tion met at the High School building 3-ester
day at '2 o'clock, p. m., with all the officers
present. Tweutj- townships were represent
ed in an attendance of sixty teachers.
The programme was carried out as pub
lished with the exception of tho article on
"Advantages of Higher Education," bv J. C
South.
At the close of the programme the presi
dent presented a ptau of work for the asso
ciation. The plan is to divide the county in
to eight districts, and organize in eacli dis
trict a load association, to hold meetings
monthly: said association to Insubordinate.

THE BIG BUILDERS.
Building still continues. Many of the
large structures, note of which havo been
made in these columns but recently, are now
occupied as business places, others are just
commenced, tho foundations marking sitse,
the architect's designs and drawings telling
of the structure that is soon to arise there
upon. The Oliver building is up to the third story,
the Hacker & Jackson block exteriorly very
nearly complete. At the Cary hotel build
iug workmen were engaged yesterday upon
tho brick work of the rear and side walls,
and the magnificent cut stone arch that will
span the west entrance of the front.
Tho foundation has for some time shown
the magnitude of this grand hotel, and now
as the building rises an idea of its architec
tural beauty can be conceived.
The elegant building which Mr. Fech
heimer is erecting at tho corner of Douglas
avenue and Market street, has so far had
little work done upon its front, but the rear
and side walls are up to the second story.
Across Market has already been piled up the
four stories of superior brick work that com
pletes the Bitting Bros, block, one of the
largest and finest in the state. The carpent
ers were yesterday putting up tho joists of
the roof, and before long tho building will
be taken from tho hands of the
mechanics, and withiu its walls will be the
hum of Wichita's business, life and energy.
Down Market tho Mcrcautlo company are
still engaged upon their first story; nine
stone cutters aro kept at work and six of the
tea large arches of the fiont are completed.
Up Market, at Lewij academy, tho brick
work is done on the first story and Monday
it is expected that tho second will be com
menced. On South Main, work is still upon the
foundations of the Wagner and Fisher
blocks. The Kos Harris building has tho
first story up; and that of Colonel Stewart's
as well as the one across the street
will soon bo read j- for oceupancy
The second story of tlio Harris and Van
Ness structure on West Douglas is completed.
On North Main the Gotto building has just
been commenced, the Clement building needs
bat a few capping stones to complete its
walls, the Heiserman and McClees hundred
feet square is going up, while tho large
blocks that have been under construction 011
the east side of the street aro almost ready
for occupancy.
The foundation of the Miller block on
North Water will soon have upon it the first
layers of brick. Beside it will bo the Gibbi
building, of which Messrs. Keilogg & Sou
have niado the plans threo stories, with a
front of tweut3'-sevca feat on Water and
eight3' on First.
And so on with the other buildings' of the
eit-; no stopping or halting, but as fast as
material can be found and men can work
thej' rise into statery, magnificent structures.
THE LONG riilGUT,
The Homeing pigeons of which these col
umns spoke, were turned loose by Mr. J. A.
Zorn 3-estePda3T morning from the top of the
Occidental hotel. They were a beautiful pa.'r
of birds, solid steel bluo iu color, with bright
yellowish eyes with red cornea. When taken
in hand they showed little if any fright.
They were let go at twenty minutes to nine
bv central timo. Tho youngest bird flew
around a few times and setting once or twice
on adjoining buildings and showing a desire
to return to tho cage. The older and heavier
bird l!ew about, enlarging the c ircumference
of its flight each timo until it disappeared
eist of tho M. E. steeple. Tlio young bird in
a short time returned and lit on the cage.
Whether either or both lit out for their home
cote among the hills of West Virginia, wo
know not. The Wheeling Dail3' Intilligencer,
which came to hand 3csterda3', contained
the following:
Mr. John A. Zorn of this city, who has
gone to Wichita. Kansas, took with him two.
pure bred homeing pigeons belonging to Air.
Michael Freismuth. Mr. Freismuth has a
brother living in Wichita and he and Mr.
Zorn, after tho birds havo been well fed and
rested thei e, will fly them. This will proba
bly bo done next Saturday morning, al
though they may uot be flown until Sunday
morning. In case they are allowed to go
Saturda3" they will lie looked for Monday af
ternoon, and if not fllown till Sunday they
will be watched for Tuesda3r.
Mr. Freismuth will be advised by Mr. Zorn
by telegraph at just what timo the birds aie
released and ho iu turn will notify them iu
Kansas of tho time of arrival; their watjhes
were set alike before Mr. Zorn left.
Both the pigeons aro female birds; one is
one and a half years old nud the mother of
tho other, which is six montlis old. Ti:e3'
have both besn flown from various points
about here and havo alwa3s made good time.
The distance from here to Wichita iu a
straight line is between 1.100 and 1,200 miles,
but Mr. Freismuth has no doubt but what
the birds will make it all right. He has a
fine flock of these pigeons, and is thoroughly
posted as to tho care to Le taken of them,
their habits, etc. Their distance to travel i;
tho longest that carrier pigeons have ever
been know n to fry. and the result is awaited
with interest bvinanv.
THE CAMl'MEETING.
Yesterdaj- was observed by t je pooplo at
the camp ground as the Sabbath.
Meetings were held nearty- tho whole day
after Sabbath school at 9 o'clock. It was
consideml the last day of the encampment.
Special effort was made for the conversion
of all upon the ground.
Although the' havo confined themrelves
principallj- to doctrinal subjects, yet they
bolievo and preach on real conversion. Tiie
subject last night was conversion, the S2nr.on
being delivered 113- Elder Rogers from Act.
'5:19, "Repent therefore and bo converted
that your sins ma3- be blotted out.'"
The audiences during the week have been
large, and the interest apparently wtll sus
tained. - Today is the last of the campmeeting: atid
a larger congregation is expected thi3 even
ing than am previous meeting.
Although tha camp meeting closes there
will be other meetings held in the city, cf
which notice will be given.

THE lABOE MEETING.
The labor meeting at the G-. A. R. hall last
evening was attended by a good sized aud
ience. Besides membsrs of the labor organi
zations there were present many business
men and quite a number of ladie3. J. D.
Caldwell was elected president of the meet
ing and Chas. Streeter secretao.
Hon. Dr. Walling was introduced and af
ter a few introductory remarks took up the
leading economic questions of the daj-; first,
supply and demand; next, transportation of
manufactured and agricultural products,
the introduction of bills in the Iegis
lasure and the opening up of
the Oklahoma countrj'. He stated that
upon these and other economic questions
it was tho intention of the labor party to en
ter the field and to apply to them strict tides
of justice an,d interpretation.
Of railroads he said, that if the- were con
trolled bj" the government or state the
charges for carrige should be fixed upon the
basis of a certain per cent, on the price that
article will bring in the market; and further
"wo must aim to own these lines; if corpora
tion can make money out of them wiry then
cannot the government." Ho contrasted the
the cost of telephone service, a private con
cern, with that of mail service, a department
of the government.
He then called attention to tho rent ques
tion, and afterward to tho cost of
running the government under the
"s3'stem of reform.' He next referred to the
contraction of the currency, severly de
nounced a congressional committee who
asked advice from Wall street magnates, and
demanded a dollar that was sent and did not
fluctuate.
Mr. Carlisle s tariff speech ho compliment
ed, but inquired why was a legislative act
in accordance with such view never given to
tho county. The tariff bill he favored was
given in tho memorable words of the onl3
workingmau's president, James A. Garfield.
He favored, too, the opening of the Oklaho
ma country, the education of Indians to
farm work by farmers, and tho ousting of
the cattlemen.
Ho was followed D3' Mr. Sherwin, master
workman of the Knights of Labor lodge,
and afterwards Ly J. G. McCoy, who as a
Democrat bitlerh- denounced the bossisrn
coutroliug that part as was manifested ac
tho last "so willed Democratic convention,''
and predicted the downfall of the part3 if
such was not eradicated. Farmer Dolittle
who said ho considered it the greatest calam
ity that could befall a conutry to have all the
services under coutiol of tho government,
spoke next, and was followed bj' J. D. Cald
well with a few remarks upon centralization.
Win, Ross addressed the meeting until tho
committee on resolutions olFered their report.
Mr. Barret read the report, which consid
ered labor of greater interest than inanimate"
capital, that they were not waging war
against legitimate capital, nor would they
receive overtures from an3' political parties.
Afterwards, two other short addresses
weio listened to and tlio meeting adjourned.
JUSTICE COUKT.
Mr. Joseph Hamilton was arrested Friday
night in Eagle township on a peace warrant
by Doc Worrall and was brought to the cit
3'esterda3r. He was somo time sinco acquit
ted in the probate court of tho chargo of in
sanity preferred against him b3' Mr. N. Cal
houn. Some da3's ago ho iuibified too freely
and found snakes in his boots. He threat
ened to dispose of Calhoun, which led to his
arrest.
He was not tried 3-csterda3 on account of
the absence oCsomo material witnesses. Tho
case will be called probably tomorrow.
Tho invincible George M. Smith attracted
his honor's attention for a time 3-esterday.
Au officer had been auxious to read a couple
of warrants to him for some da3's, but George
was not anxious to listen to the elocutionary
entertainment, so ho kept himself at a dis
tance, llo was charged with selling the ar
dent and with running a gambling hall. His
attorue3' succeeded in getting him out of the
first charge, but tho second called for .$100
aud trimmings. Ho paid the fino and prom
ised to bo a good bo3 as far as the liquor
question is concerned.
