SOME TTA-R.T) TACTS CONOEEimiG- WICHITA'S PRESENT AND rTJTTJEE. The Work of the Board of Trade and Other Organizations Synopsis of a Talk With President Geo. L. Rouse, Sr. There was more business activity yes teiday in the city than the average. While the average is good enough, yet an im provement by way of an increase is always acceptable in any city, not excepting Wichita. For some days the increase has been noticeable, It has not only been noticed on the streets but elsewhere. The 'elsewhere" means that it has been no ticed in,the columns of figures that stand for so much money changing and entering into business. The stranger as well as resident to a considerable extentestimates the city by the number ot people rushing around attending to business and by what they see that looks life commercial life. While this may be regarded os a thermom eter upon which some reliance may be placed, yet one outside the city, not haviug a chance to loot out upon the streets and see the busy stream of people may not be able to get as good an idea of the commercial importance of Wichita from a description of the streets as from some cold facts. To begin with, the clearing house for yester day shows 5218,027.27, with the corres ponding day last year, $103,433 89. Yes terday was 12,000 more than double what it was the corresponding day last year. This fact may of itself be of some weight to one who is acquainted with what it takes to make a snowing in the clearing house. The total for the week will not show such a per cent of increase, but it will be an eye opener to the eastern peo ple who read it about breakfast time next Monday morning iu the weekly report. The clearing house shewing such an increase it was thought of Interest to give some more facts of the day. The 'average calls on the central office are from eighteen hundred to two thousand. Yesterday the calls were over thirty-three hundred and almost as far above the corresponding day last year as the clearing house showing. This may be another pointer to add and there is an other one in the line of facts. At the' postoffice the outgoing and incoming letters for some days are greater in num ber than In any time. The increase there may not mean everything, but to a gentle man who was acquainted with the fact said it certainly meant something. The business houses of Wichita and business interests sending out more business let ters. They hustle to get the letters oi. on the early morning or early evening trains. They want them to go for they relate to business. All who are entitled to an opinion on the question are free co admit that there has been more hard work at the board of trade since the beginning of the year than at any other corresponding time, and, for that matter, more directory meetings of the board of trade and other associations that labor to the best interests of the city than possibly ever before iu the same length of time. Relating to the board of trade the presi dent, Mr. George L. Rouse, Sr., said yes terday: "It has been said that the work of the board of trade is not well understood by the public at large, and some of the now members of the directory express them selves ns surprised at the amount of work actually done by the board. Now, much of this work would better not be discussed in detail by the general public, as such discussion would often defeat the end in view by disclosing our plans and aims pre maturely, but as the men who elect the directory expect discretion and good judge ment in all sucu matters that phase need not be dwelt upon. Still it seems that something might be said as to the work being done and the objects of that work in a general way that would be entirely proper and which the public would have au mtercst in and a right to know." Continuing, Mr. Rouse said: "In the first place, the directory are aware of the fact that now, at this time of all times, the opportunity presents itself for efficient, intelligent, hard work. It has been under taken by common consent, as by one man, and every man OF THE TWEXTV-FOIT. is at work in earnest, and iu the following lines of effort: Manufactories, jobbing houses and railroads so much has already been done this jear as will certainly result in the near future in the establishment of additional manufactories, jobbing houses new lines of railroads. Rounding up the immigration move ment he said: "The immigration move ment which originated in Wichita has been and will be fostered and supported by the board of trade, is a grand move ment from which the greatest good may bo expected and has alread- become as broad as the state of Kansas, embracing as it does every county, and when the state organization shall have secured laud explorers and immigrants rates on Feb ruary 11th, prox., the success of the move ment will be assured." "There are other movements," ho con tinued, "of equal importance with those mentioned, of which the local real estate exchange promises to become an import ant factor in advertising our advantages to the country at large." Glancing over the board of trade work: "For three years the board of trade, sup ported at all times by the good citizens of Wichita, has been sowing cood seed and dilhgently cultivating the field not, doubt inc the crop would be in kind and com mensurate with our deserts, and I can fairly say that in my opinion, and in the opinion of the men with whom I have the honor to act, the harvest time is near and will bo abuudant. But as this harvest time will be shared by all, let us all and each one of us in bis place and ac cording to his ability and oportuuity con tribute hi share of sensible, efficient, honest work, so that when the harvest of 1SD0 is divided none of us may be com pelled to eat the bread of idleness, nor to reap where we have not sown." Speaking in general of the city: "Wich ita today stauds before the country a sound, energetic, live city, honetly great in all the elements of greatness and can and will become whatever e, her citizens, shall determined. If it had been the good fortune of every citizen of Wichita, as it has been that of the directors of the board of trade and mine, to hear the hearty un biased opinion of our destiny as a city as shown by the rich country surrounding us, the geographical position, and our locatiou in reference to cattle, hogs, gram, and the demand for same in Colorado, Texas and farther west, and railroad facilities now existing and projected, an opinion expressed by scores of men of natioual reputation, of the largest ex perience in business and affairs, they would unite with me and plan for a Kan sas City in size nnd importance on this spot in less than fie years." By way of a clance for the present year Mr. Rouse observed: "All financial experts appear to bo unan imous in predicting that the year 1$!)0 will be one of unusual activity and prosperity the country over, and this opinion is shared by all thoughtful men. And as our city is, thanks to hard, honest work. in position to re3p her share of this pros- . - i&-ft perity I can not refrain from congratulat ing our fellow citizens tipon its outlook. We are coming in on the rising, tide and the same care and thoughtfulness that has characterised us histerto- will land us safely on the golden shores of prosperity." There were quite a number who were in in the board of trade aftersome committee work last evening who heard Mr. Rouse's views as given substantially who coincided fully in everything he said and were forci bly impressed with the opinions presented. The work for the year, they remarked, was so far, by far more encouraging than they had ever expected and never in the history of Wichita was there more to be encouraged over in the line of truly sub stantial growth that at present. AK3IOKIES. At a meeting of the directors of the Gar field Post association and the officers of Wichitn Light Infantry at the Hotel Met ropole last evening terms were agreed up on for leasing by the military company of the Garfield hall for an armory. The lease will be executed today and work com menced Monday morning in removing the stage, adding a gallery and putting in a new floor, which when completed, will make an armory second to none in tbe state. The Wichita Light Infantry in se curing this armoiy were compelled to as sume a financial burden, but as they in tend to make of their armory the finest and in fact the only large first class hall in the city, the boys seem to think the pat ronage of the citizens for gatherings, balls, fairs, etc , will be given them. For some time Battery A, First regi ment light artillery, Kansas National guards, has been figuring on securing an armory. They have been looking over the city and have been unable to find a suita ble room. The matter was suggested to Mr. J. S. P. Gordon, and the proposition considered for his erecting a building suitable for the company. When the question was first presented the infautiy company had not selected an armory aud it was thought possible to erect a building allowing lower floor to be occupied by artillery and the second by the infantry. Since the latter has se cured an armory at the Garfield the former stands alone to get suitable quarters. There seems but little doubt but that ar rangements can be made whereby Mr. Goi don will yet erect a building for tne artillery. The proposed site is on the east side of Market street between Central av eaue and Elm street, and has a front of fifty feet and HO ft et deep. Mr. Gordon stated yesterday that if the arrangement could be reached he would put up a two story brick building with a fifty foot front and 120 deep. The lower floor would be used exclusively for an armory, and the second would be cut up into rooms for of fices. As soon as the new court house was ready to use the rooms could be easily rent ed for offices, and possibly some of them could be rented before the building was erected. The battery boys are anxious that steps in the matter be taken immedi ately, aud Lieutenant Metcalf is rushing the matter as rapidly as possible. It is thought within a few days some definite action will be taken. X.1TEKAKV. The Younc People's Literary society last evening at the First Baptist church was largely attended. After a prayer and reading of the minutes by the secretary, Miss Grace Davidson, the following pro gram was rendered, Prof. Theo. Forby presiding: Recitation....

Irwin, Andrew Smith and J. N. Townsend decided the question as to weight of argument in favor of the affirm ative. After which Prof. H. S.

Hnr risou was elected vice president and Miss Estella Cobb secretary for the' ensuing two weeks. The question for next week, Fri day evening, is: "Resolved, That the signs of the times indicate the downfall of the American republic." This will be handled by leading disputants in an in teresting manner.

C, Arrives Home, Accompanied by Mrs. Eaura Mjers, Secretary Their lteceptlou. Mrs. Clara Juckerraati, the department, president of the Woman's Relief Corps, ar rived home last night at G:30, accompanieu by the secretary of the department, Mrs. Laura Myers. They were met at the depot by members of the corps aud of the post, and Mrs. Juuderman, was given a hearty welcome and warm congratulations upon herjadvancement to the head of the order in Kansas. Mrs. Junkernian bore her honors very gracefully, and if this year does not prove one of the most prosperous ones for tne Woman's Relief Corps iu this state it will be from no lack of ability and sagacity on the p.trt of the president and secretary. The delegates from this corps to the de partment convention, Mrs. Kate Martin, Mis. Emma C.iswell and Mrs. Laura Myers, have reason to ba proud of their work, and will no doubt receive from their corps the welcome p'audits, "Well done, good and faithful servants." A reception to the new president is to be arranged for in the near future, probably Tuesday night. XO TIJ1E TO BE falCK. On Thursday eveninc Sheriff Cone went home sick. He took all the old fashioned remedies and went to bed. He had scarcely gotten comfortable when he received a tel egram fiom an old acquaintance, Charles Short, stating that his horse, a valuable one, had been stolen. The clue given in the message would be uuinteligible to auy oue but thesherifE himself, who got up aud dressed and went after the horse, deliver ing him to the delighted owner yesteiday. A warrant is out for the thief who is prob ibly captured by this time. The sheriff does not know now whether to go back to bed and be sick or keep at work. OOUTCKFEITEK 10 HE TKIED. A. A. Bass, a colored detective, will have a preliminary hearing before Commission er Sherman today on the charge of coun terfeiting. Bass is one of the party that was found at work by Deputy United States Marshal Metcalf in Hutchinson. The circumstances iu Bass' case are such that he will in all probability eventually be cleared. It seems that he was, as a matter of fact, only leading the rest of the gang on in order to get the necessary evi dence to convict them, but in working the scheme he did so much of the counterfeit ing himself that becomes within the scope of the law and will have some trouble in clearing himself. A VIOLENT LUNATIC. Robert Black, who lives on the West Side, .' was reported murderously insane yesterday. Officer Williams went over to investigate, and after getting a good look at the broad shoulders and closely knit form of the lunatic thought it prudent to send for Deputy bneriti uaaismnn. in me meantime Black had been amusing him self in attempts to kill his brother-in-law, and when tho officers returned showed fight. He was captured with some diffi culty and taken to jail. Both the officers and the prisoner came out of the affray slightly disfigured. Black is too violent at present to be given a hearing in the probate court. HISHOP UN1E. Bishop W. X.

They inquired after the orgauization of the bureau, its strength and importance quite carefuily and seemed well pleased over tho united effort to bring immigration to Kausas. Some little comment was parsed yester day on the street concerning the contiti ied absence of Mr. William A. Jeffries, who left tho city about two weeke ago, estensi bly in tho interest of the Kansas and Texas Coal company. Nothing was thought of the matter until his family left rather unexpectedly for Philadelphia, shipping tho piano and music box and reporting that the furniture was disposed of to the second-hand man. These facts led to an investigation of his financial standing and it was learned that ho owed various amounts to different parties in the city and Leavenworth, amounting to about $3,000. Mr. Jeffries' record heretofore has been tho best aud his various creditors ex press no apprehensions of loss. They gen erally suppose that ho will settle all his accounts nnd feel pretty confident that he has the means to do it. Mr. Thomas Og den, of Leavenworth, was in the city last night in the interest of a Leavenworth Coal company, to wh om Mr. Jeffries is in debted for about $1,200. THE CHURCHES.

A simple, and the proper method is to make suds of hot water and Ivory So.r, and allow to cool till lukewarm. This solution, while very effective, is perfectly harmless. A WORD OF WARNING. There are many while soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the ' Ivory' ;" they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.
