Madam Go will not nppenr until mx week, likewise the checker department. dv Wichita wants establishments that will give empiloy ment to her people nnd induce others to come and help build up this magnificent city, yet when here do they support them? Let ns see. The Main street theater gave emiilcyment to twenty-two people nine in lb company, six in the baud and orehesfia, ticket seller, door tender, two curtin and property iiinn, aiul general roustabout. Nearly half of this number were heads of families, who earned their money in Wichita nnd spent it here.

The sulnry list was from $250 to $300 per week, consequently nearly all of that amount with the exception perhaps bf a few dollars, wns expended in this city. 'Yet the people would pass by the Mnin street theater whore they could witness a good show 25, 35, 50 cents and go to tho Crawford and pay twice and three times that amount to see a razzle-dazzle entertainment, the managers of which pocket the money to spend elsewhere. Cf course it was their privilege to do so, but what we are getting nt is this: what is.tlie nse of spending money to get manufacturing establishments and other business institutions to locate here when yea dont support those you have. Wellington is to hove a club the near future. 'U Cy '7 NO.

Doud, Freedom Station, sends to the Ohio Farmer a sketch and description of a device lie uses for hanging hogs. It is shown in Fig. 1. It consists of throe stout poles, about ten feel, long, flattened at on end, with a stout holt passed through all throe. Place a hook on each outside pole, about tho right height for the length of a hog.

These hooks take the place of the old gambrel stick. After tho hog is attached to the hooks it is elevated by means of the middle pole or lever, and tho hog can be spread out as desired by moving the two outside poles. M. W. ytoner sends a sketch of his device tor hanging a beet.

It is shown in Fig. 2, and he describes it as fol- low By tl is method you' need only one joist or tie. The device cau-be moved from pince to place with little, trouble, and it takes little work lo make it. Take a piece of scantling 3x3 mebes, good hard wood, 0 led hmg; round it It inches on each end leav the remainder square. Make two holes 1x3 inches, and make two levers to tit the boles.

Put the rope over any joist or tie that is strong enough to sustain a beef, toi tiling a loop over the tie so tho rope will not slip. Slip the ends of the rope through holes near the end; start level, and wind up to where you waut. Bv leaving the lever in, it rests against the beef atid holds it every time. No ratchet or spreading stick is wanted. YVc have used it on all sires of beeves.

When liearingtliia neighbor relate the af-tuirnext dav, I asked why ho didn't take his windlass alone. He said he thought Ihe man had one. and when ho explained it to him he said lie never heard of or saw one.

teller knife, especially do. signed for slicking hogs. It is described bf C. U. Ashtabula, as follows: Almost any smith can make one from an old file, uml I have found by actual experience that it pays to have one.

The idea is to have tho blade broad and blunt at the point, so that it will sever both veins at once without cutting 'com side to side, or turning the knifo aroir as some do who pretend to be butchers blade of this knife, should be six inches in length, ami cue and a half inches broad at the point, with a small kecu point, as shown in thedugrum. lu the hands of an expert it, is only necessary to put ths kuife iu and out as quickly as possible. It Is of sufficient width to cut both arteries ab once.

First it was tho Main s'reet. then the Muse, now the oldest place of lh kind lias closed its door3, the Uoutli Main slrtet museum. This ought to demonstrate beyond a doubt to all managers and would be manager that Wichita is too small a city for a museum or a stock company.

It has been tried lime and tiLle again and only during the boom did it prove piofitablo to the managers. People seem to prefer patronizing traveling troops made np largely of amateurs and one part actors than to patronize firsclnss stock com pinnies such as Wichita hns'itd at various times. There has been rotton steel; companies nnd plenty of ham actors in this city daring tne past twoyirs; jet nt the same time there has several good companies and a number of goil people, who have not been appreciated. 1 For instance, Jack Lodge and Jala wife, who played a long time at the Main street theater and were poorly pntrouized, yet when they came through hero with Pete Baker, the people flocked to tlnj.rawford and paid $1 00 to see these peoC oct when they cntild have seen them at any time while nt the Main street for 25 cents. That old saying piroves a good one a prophet is not without houor save in Uisvj I I Is superior to nil others in point of Easo, UipiJity, and Precision of Action, Uniformity of Tension und perfection of seam, simplicity nnd durability, elegance of design, excelleu-e of workmanship, form and quality of cabinet work, and general appearance as a whole.
