CATTLEMEN
THE ME MEXICO CATTLE" OOFTEff
TION TAKE IN WICHITA-
The Santa Pe's Great Cattle Men's
Special Names of Gentlemen En
route, and Some Thing of
What Was Said About
Wichita.
The New Mexico delegation to the Fort
Wortli convention of cattle men reached
the city yesterday at 11 o'clock, and the
special Pullman was side tracked to be at
tached to the Santa Fe's great great special
cattle men's train, leaving Kansas City
j-esterday morning at 9:30. Tue special
reached the city shortly after 5 o'clock in
the evening, giving a lay over of six hours
in the city, qufte time enough to see
something of Wichita and get some idea
of the importance of the city. They were
met at the. Douglas avenue depot by a
number of the leading citizens, and soon
afterwards were at the Carey hotel. The
party consisted of thirty of the leading
cattle men of the territory they represent
ed. It was quite a business looking crowd
aud the citizens were quite glad to give
them every attention possible.
Among the leading delegates were S. M.
i Folsom. president of the Albuquerqe ns-
uuiiiti UftnK, a rnncn owner ana cattle
grower; Governor Hadley, of Palo Blanco;
W. H. Hulby and J. E. Stout, of the
Alamo Cattle company; W. II, Slaughter,
of the American Cattle company, who has
"the finest ranch in the world," as some of
his friends said; R. M. Barbour, W. S.
Lyons, H. W. Hardy. Nathan Hall, H.
Pomezo, Wiley Ward. F. Nichols, S. S.
Jackson, Lewis Lutz, G. L. Brooks, T. It.
Jones, manager of the Pueblo stock yards,
and Mr. J. G. Albright, of Albuquerque,
editor of the Albuquerque morning Demo
crat, the only paper taking full associated
press in the territorj'.
The party represented over two and a
half millions of cattle and the "cattle on a
thousand hills" clause would by no means
express it. Soon after dinner they were
escorted to the board of trade rooms and
spent a few minutes looking over tho fine
exhibit of Kansas products aud city dis
play. They were all greatly pleased at the
showing and many were heard say that
ichita had the finest board of trade
rooms of any city of its size they had seen.
Mr. Geo. H. Blackwelder rapped for or
der and presented Mayor Geo. W. Clement
who gave a few words of welcome to the
visitors. In part he saia:
Gentlemen. It is always a pleasure for
our people to extend our cordial greetings
to the stranger who may come within our
gates or to any body of gentlemen, who
may honor us with a visit for the purpose
of inspection, pleasure or business. And
it is especially gratifying to welcome to
our city a delegation of gentlemen repre
senting an interest so vast iu importance
and so prominent in the commercial
affairs of ourcouutry as the great cattle
industry. Therefore we extend to yon,
cattle men of New Mexico, a most cordial
greeting, and trust that your visit to our
city, though brief, may result in a
pleasure and a mutual benefit to both
parties. We trust we shall be
able to show you that it
will bo to our mutual benefit
to enter into a compact, each to do certain
things for the other.
Tho men you see here today have been
working with united and determined
effort to build up here a great city, and as
all great cities have some one prominent
industry to lead them upward, so we have
been laying the foundations of an indus
try that will determine the character of
this city in the years to come. Wichita is
now aud ever will be the great meat pack
ing center and stock market of the great
southwest and we fear no rival, for we
have the resources to build our assurances
upon. We are in the very center of the
great corn belt of the country. Southern
Kansas has no rival in this product. The
four counties of which this city is the
commercial center are known as the "Big
Four," being the four most productive
counties iu the great state of Kansas.
Kansas has the past year produced 27G,-
000,000 bushels of corn, and Sedgwick
county has grown 8,000.000 bushels of that
beef producing cereal. Are we not able to
fatten your cattle? Go on with your breed
ing and producing, and we will take your
cattle to fatten and prepare for the
slaughter. Within the past two jears the
people of this city have contributed more
than 1,000.000 in cold cash to establish
here two of the finest beef and hog pack
ing plants in the country. We will prove
this assertion to you by the visit we will
soon make to those plants. We know you
have a grand country for stock raisiug.
and we believe the rapid development your
territory is making m that aud other in
dustries, will soon bring you into the
grand sisterhood of states. We sincerely
trust the acquaintance formed this day
will be permanent and profitable to both
parties. Witli the hospitality character
istic of Kausas people, we welcome you to
our city.
Governor Hadley in response said he had
heard so much within the last two years
of Wichita that he had a great anxiety to
visit the city. He had in his short visit
already seeu much more of a city than he
had ever anticipated. A city so young to
have such fine avenues fringed with trees
and business streets with palatial blocks
on either side was something simply won
derful and was quite suflicicieut cause for
so much to be said about Wichita outside
of the state. On behalf of the delegation
ho wished to extend his sincere thanks for
the welcome greeting. And in doing so he
wished to call attention to the mutual in
terests of Kausas and New Mexico. He
said his country could furnLh the bone
aud Kansas with its corn could
put on the finest me.it to be found in auy
market. The union of interests between
the two should be conceded and every pos
sible effort made to increase trade rela
tions. He had always been a great ad
mirer of Kansas and had always referred
to it as one of the very best states in the
union.
As to Wichita it had the proper location
for a great commercial center aud the sec
ond and only thing else necessary was the
men to make a city. The reputation of
Wichita business men abroad was such as
to cause him to believe the busiuess men .
here were equal to the task, siuce seeing
the city he was sure of it and that Wichita
would continue to grow rapidly, he aud
his friends were willing to concede.
He promised that before long they
would be back and bring with them cattle
and return with some of Wichita money.
New Mexico and Kansas could successful
ly compete with the world in the cattle
business. After again extending thanks
to Wichita he closed amid enthusiastic
cheers.
Carriages were in waiting to take the
delegates to the packing houses. Ou
reaching the mammoth establishments all
were delighted to find as some were heard 1
to express it "such solid concerns put up
tn cri iiw! 1r Imcinocc " Tnpr ro.irif n 1

Assistant General Freight Agent O. H.
Brown, of Topeka, has the train in charge
and is caring for the guests and delegates
in a royal manner characteristic, of the
Santa Fe's hospitality. The running time
between Kansas City and Ft. Worth bids
fair, to eclipse the Nellie Bly special. The
train frequently exceeded the speed of a
mile a minute.
The party were enjoying the trip hugely
as a "stag" croivd of cattlemen and rail
road men only can. If the passengers had
their way the train would run
"wild" clear through to Texas. Traffic
Manager Hanley informed the engineer
at Newton that it was not necessary to
reach Fort Worth before sundown as the
engineer alter leaving Florence, where the
train stopped for dinner, made the run for
a time of seven miles in six minujtes.
Nearly one hundred passengers were on
board and all were happy.

AN INSTRUCTIVE DISCOURSE.
Rev. David Winters delivered himself
of a delightfully practical discourse Sab
bath moiniug at the First Presbj-terian
church, which was a happy and concise
reflex of the spirit now animating the bet
ter portion of this community. His text
was the light behind the cloud, which
cloud obscured Job's horizon and left his
home and life in darkness. The subject of
the sermon was the depressing times aud
their effect on such despouding natures as
are unable to discern either rifts, lights or
silver lining, but only the darker and
gloomier side, all unmindful of the fact
that the glory just beyond is undimmed
and will soon burst forth in old time
brilliancy. Of course tho grumbler
whose pessmiistic harpings tend to dis
courage the optimist and to bring to
naught the earnest efforts of hopeful, hon
est men, met with a deserved castigation.
The sermon was full of good hard sense
and the speakerclosed.it up with a can
did and convincing argument for the
future of Kansas and a splendid tribute
to the inteligence, enterprise and morality
of her people, whom in these respects, he
held to surpass all peoples of whom he had
any knowledge or with whom he had ever
come in coutact.
WHAT THE RMNT HILLS PRODUCE.
At the invitation of some of our leading
citizens there will be placed on exhibition
iu the board of trade rooms today (Tues
da3T), a few specimens of what can be pro
duced from the extensive clay and stone
deposits recently discovered on tho Gene
see ranch, in Greenwood county, owned by
Mr. A. S. Mann, of Rochester, N. Y.
Thorougli tests have been made of tho ma
terial for different uses, and the practical
results obtained will readily suggest to
any intelligent mind that resources of
great value are only awaiting capital aud
energy for their development. Specimens
of fire brick, paving brick, pressed build
ing brick, sewer pipe and stoneware, ce
ment and plaster, marble and building
stone, material for wall finish and filler
for natural woods will be iu the collection.
Ail who are interested in these different
branches of manufacture, as well as those
who are on the lookout fornew enter
prises to be started in our city, are invited
to spend a few moments looking over the
products from "the hills," as they will
only be here tor today.

COUNCIL MEETING.
Jasperlto Selected to Pave. Doualas ATenue
Considerable Jlotltlno Business
Given Attcntioa.
The council meeting last night called
out quite a number of the leading citizens
of the city. The lobby was well filled, the
proceedings watched rather closely. The
leading feature as shown by marked at
tention was the paving. It was generally
believed the contract for paving Douglas
from Wichita to Washington would be
awarded. It was known that there was a
diversity of opinion among the property
owners on the avenue as to the kind of
material to be used. There was consider
able talk along the speculative line before
the matter came up as to what would be
done. When the head of unfinished busi
ness was called it was not difficult to tell
tnat most of the spectators were interested
in the paving matter which came up at
that moment. The speeches made for
any kina of material from the applause
certainly had supporters and when the
question was decided for jasperite there
was considerable confusion soon followed
by many leaving.
TITE PROCEEDINGS.
Roll call showed Healy. Carson, Down
ing. Schnizler, Barnes. Williams, Glaze
and Coffin present with Mayor Clemeut
presiding. Before the minutes had been
read, Mercer, Johnson and Wight arrived.
Steinmetz & Sullivan asked that an or
dinance be passed regulating tapping of
the sewer.
Mercer thought it should be referred to
the sewer committee.
Healey as chairman of that committee
said he hau nothing to report more than
he had submitted formerly. He wanted to
recall up his old ordinance in the question.
Mercer said some protection should be
provided by the council.
Glaze said something should be done to
prohibit the promicuous tapping of the
sewer.
The mayor said the question had often
been brought up and nothing done.
The motion to refer the communication
carried.
The Postal Telegraph company wanted
a fianchise to get into the city. On mo
tion of Mercer, it was referred to franchise
and license committee.
Timothy Mahany had some property in
northeast which he does not want taken
into the city. Placed on file.
G. L. Smyzer, in southeast, did not want
to be in corporate limits. Remonstrance
placed on file. The Midland Investment
company submitted a similar document. A
number of others were disposed of simi
larly. Some appropriation ordinances were
passed, including an appropriation to
widen Lawrence avenue, near Kellogg
street, $400; for registering city building
bonds, $10.
Healy, of sewer and drainage, calling
up flush tank ior sewer, said there was no
stop-cock outside flush tank provided and
the improvement should be made.
Mercer thought the contract called for
the stop-cock, according to report of the
city engineer.
It was decided to examine plans as
adopted.
The light committee reported favorable
to a string of lights on Sixteenth, Seven
teenth and Eighteenth streets, and, ou
motion of Mercer, placed on the table.
Healy, of the fire committee, said the
alarm at water station was defective aud
caused insurance in the city raised.
The fire marshal said the wire already
there is all right. Tho trouble comes from
the engineer at the station, who fails to
watch his instrument.
The fire committee was instructed to
make an examination.
Williams, of the health committee, said
work on flush tanks would commence in a
few days.
Reaching paving, Mercer presented a
petitiou for jasperite on Douglas avenue,
representing four thousand five hundred
and thirty-five feet.
Senator Bentley said he was not repre
senting any paviug company or as an at
torney, but as a property owner and rep
resenting those who wanted jasperite.
He recalled the petition and said
the first choice, according to the petition,
was for brick and second choice
jasperite. He thought the brick could be
made in Vt ichita.
Mercer said the majority petition was
for jasperite and he moved that the con
tract be awarded Mr. Wilson for jasperite
at $2.50 per square yard.
Healey thought it would not be right to
give contract to jasperite as in his judg
ment brick had been more thoroughlj
tested than jasperite.
Mercer said the petition for jasperite
was taken from the other petitions and
was in the majority.
Mr. Chas. Smythe said it seemed brick
had no chance and it was decided to make
a poll on jasperite.
The mayor said no contract for paving
would be signed unless a majority of
property owners wanted it.
Coffin said he did not understand the
petitions as well as he would like, owing
to the cross petitiou or petitions. He was
unable to tell what was desired. He
moved the contract be awarded for vitri
fied brick.
The lowest bidder tor brick was J. E.
Riley &; Co., at S1.97 ou concrete.
Mr. Reese said he had circulated the
Jasperite petition and nearly all the
signers wanted brick if the brick could be
made in Wichita.
Iu answer to Coffin the city attorney said
according to bid could not compel J. E.
Riley & Co. to use "Wichita" vitrified
brick. Mr. Coffin then said he was afraid
no "Wichita" brick contract could be
awarded, and moved as an amendment
that all bids be rejected.
Mercer said the amendment, in his judg
ment, was out of order.
The chair said the amendment was in
order or would be entertained.
Colonel Jocelyn said that personally he
would not object to the question before
the council. He went over the brick pav
ing agitation, and said contracts awarded

A IiADY INVENTOR,
Wichita is unique. Ever of her or from
her the unexpected may be expected. She
has no parallels and patterns after none.
Her men and women, like her life and in
stitutions, are sui generis. The last thing
is an invention by one of her women. Ella
A. Stauffer, who had remarked often the
hard, painful and dangerous task of wash
ing the outside of windows, set her mind
to work to invent
51BS- a machine to
wash the outside
of windows, atid
succeeded iu con
structing a sim
ple device which
she calls the win
dow washer, and
which is now in
the hands of the
commissioner of
patents at Wash
ington. Several
of the machines
&?' are being con-
s t r u c s. e u, oi
which the ad
joining cut will
lurnisb some
idea. The oper
ator, as we understand it, stands
within the room. The lower sash
rests on the machine which washes
the upper and lower sashes by simple
manipulation. Miss Elia A. Stauffer, the
inventor, is satisfied that her inven
tion will do the work intended quickly,
neatly and without any exposure ot Jife or
limb. She says she has given the contriv
ance much thought and many tests. Her
father was an inventor of some considera
ble reputation. All the parts of the win
dow washer were whittled out and ad
justed by herself while alone in her room
during the loug winter evenings, and now
she will want sv number of ageuts to sell
the machine. For terms see or write to
her. As soon as the patent is issued terri
tory will be for sale.
THE NEW AKMOltY.
The repairs at the armory of the Wicihta
Light Infantry are now completed and
Wichita can boast of an armry second to
none in the state, and one that is iu keep
ing with the first class organization that
occupies it. The floor put in by the in
fantry is the same as that in the govern
ment building and makes the armory the
most desirable hall in the city for large re
ceptions, and the company hope to receiye
the patronage from the citizens they
merit.
Tho drill this evening will be the first in
the new armory and the company will ap
pear in their new uniforms. An invita
tion is extended to visitors which will
probably be accepted by many.
In addition to other improvements a
visitor's gallery has beeu put in which
commands a perfect view of tho entire
floor. The hall is very neatly and taste
fully decorated.
A SUKPKISE.
The friends of Dora Mnrtin gave her a
very pleasant surprise last evening, the
occasion being her seventeenth birthday.
The large party spent a delightful even
ing with her at her father's residence, and
until the midnight hour the merry voices
could be heard in music an 1 games.
Among the guests were Mr. nnd Mrs.
fiercer, Mr. aud Mrs. Bayless, Mr. and
Mrs. Simons, Mrs. Merrill, Mrs. McMil
leu, Mrs. Noon, Misses Grace and Maud
Rafferty, Nannie Clegg, Allie Dodge,
Birdie Fisk. Nettie Slayden, Ro3e Gazel,
Minerva Townsend, Edith Mercer. Dora
Simons, Messrs. Herman, Parkinson,
Simmons, Dodge, Weaver, Bayless, Mer
cer, Clark, East, Story.Simmons, Atchison
and Charles.
1JASE 11A1-U
The first of a series of match games of
base ball was played yesterday afternoon
between the Periclesian society and the
Edmond Burke society, resulting in a
score of 1 to 2 in favor of Periclesian.
The game was an interesting one through
out. The interest was increased by the
earnest rivalry between the societies, each
societv being encouraged to do its best by
the presence of many of the ladies of the
societies. The features of the game were
the pitching of Anderson, the long throw
to first from the field by Sawyer, the
batting of Woodside and Schooler. The
battery for the Periclesiaus was Aderson
and Wilson, for the Burkes Hendryx and
Metcalf. Will Ayres umpired the game.
IJADLY CUT.
Mr. A. D. Howells, of Gladj-3, the Rock
Island agent, met with a red streak of bad
luck Sunday evening. After his work at
the station had been completed nnd while ,
going home Samuel Shaw, a farm hand,
attacked him with a knife. Mr. Howells
was seriously cut about the head before
parties interfered.
As reported there had been trouble be
tween tho two for some time, growing out
of a misunderstanding about some freight
matter and also it is stated that Shaw wai
in the habit of stealing a ride to the city
and the agent apprised the conductor of
this fact, which resulted in Shaw getting
kicked off.
