GRASP THE BARGAINS, THEY ARE SURE FLY (First Publication February 13, 1890.1 Publication Notice. 'J growing every day. I have no doubt whatever that we are on the eve of the greatest era of prosperity Kansas has yet experienced. The people of Kan-as are the most tenacious set of beings on the earth, and then whey area unit in putting their shoulders to the wheel, nothing but good rusults can follow. Keep your eyes on 1800 for Kansas and Wichita.

II. S. Pearce That is correct. The basis of all our wealth is the volume and diversity of our productions. Geo.

Blackwelder That is right. I saw the same thing occur in Illinois in the latter part of the seventies. The people there raised unusually large crops in 1879. 1 bought property in January of that year and sold it in less than a year at an advance of seventy per cent. W.

31. Levy Martin Ileller as telling me about that very thing in Illinois today. History repeats itself and we are going to be the next subject of that repetition. What we need is to have the currency inflated about one hundred million of dollars. I think the present congress will do something in that direction.

Then Kansas with her big crops on hand ill boom. A. AY. Oliver That is all right. Stock men and feeders are already looking to Kansas for their future field of operation.

The day of cheap cattle is fast disappearing. And that means, not only that there is going to be a demand for our corn, but also our vast fields of unexcelled pasture lauds. These lauds when stocked ill be a means of resource unknown to other states. And by the way, the French and German governments have recently experimented with corn as a ration for their armies, and the day is not far distant when the relative value of wheat and corn will be much less than it now is. AA.

A. Thomas That is just right. Farmers who are looking for farms, and men who want to buy lands for permanent investment never asked the price of grain. All they want to know is that the land will raise the grain. The change of sen'iment in Kansas on the prohibition law is going to bring us settlers and millions for investment.

Geo. L. Rouse If corn is not wealth, what is? 31oney is only good to buy corn and other things. If I were as eloquent as I am enthusiastic, I would have everybody in AYichita swinging their hats in less than ten minutes. You are right, and AYichita is coming to the front.

AVe have the soil to raise corn, wheat and hogs, and the salt underneath the soil, with which to salt the hogs when slaughtered. That is better than poor soil above coal and iron. AY. S. Woodman Your position is well taken.

There are many things that might be said that is not necessary to mention here. AYichita is all right, certainly, and the situation was never so promising as today. J. AY. Hawn That is just right.

I do not want to wear myself out shipping grain. I have said all the time that this country would be rich in a short time if they would only feed or hold their corn. I wish they would do it.

Candidates for the city council should not be backward about coming forward and offering their services to the dear people.

The salary is now fifty dollars a year, and if the council will give their whole time to the city, as they should do, I am of tlie opinion the salary could lie raised to fifty one dollars. The new court house is rapidly nearing completion. La-t week a rock about the sie of a lump of coal was put into the tower. It is not yet determined whether they ill let it remain or take it out to be dead sure it fits all right. If the weather remains favorable, another one will be put in some time in March.

The men whose words are quoted must not claim they are misrepresented in this column. In every instance either tlieir exact words are used or just what they ought to have said. If a man ought to say a thing and don't say it, I am not to blame because lie did not say what he ought to have said. Anybody can see that. Sheriff Cone All the way I have ever gotten along was by rustling.

I would not have a man about me who sleeps until eight or nine oclockin the morning. The people of the North Temperate zone are the most energetic people on the earth just because nature has given them a proper time in liich to sleep, but you waut to sleep during the night and get up in the morning. II. AA'. Lewis It is my opinion that we do not need an extra session of the legislature.

3Ir. Douglass reasons are not sufficient; that is because the legislature was called in extra session a few years ago to pass laws in the interest of stock men is no reason that one should be called now. Because one governor made a fool of himself, that is no reason Humphrey should. In kingdoms the power of government is reposed in the king but in this government the source of all power is the people, every American citizen is a king. Sometimes the man who wants office is compelled to haul the American king to the polls and give him two dollars for his vote.

That does not affect the legal fact above stated but I am willing to admit that it knocks some of the party out of the subject. The hoys around the court house last summer urged their friends to take a deep interest in local politics for the reason that they did not want to have any Democrats in office when they moved into the new court house. It looks sociable to have them mixed, but I am beginning to be afraid that, if they do not hurry up the court house so as to give the present officials possession, they will all be Democrats by the time they get into that magnificent structure. George L. Douglass Yes, I think the governor ought to call an extra session of the legislature.

The Resubmissionists and farmers are demanding it. There is some legislation in favor of the people that is urgently demanded. It seems to me that the people are now required to show a terrible state of affairs in order to get an extra session. Only a few years ago an extra session was called on account of a few old cows had the foot and mouth disease. It seems to make a great difference what the legislature is called together for.

One of the hoys in the Journal office the other day told me a good joke on John Iloenscheidt. lie said the Journal artist go up a cartoon intending to show the evil effects of Prohibition. It represented a number of immigrants arriving in New York and being turned away from Kansas by signs giving notice that Kansas was a Prohibition state. An impression of the cartoon was submitted to John. He looked at it for a few minutes and then said, that can not go in the paper.

ou have made those immigrants look so cussed much like tramps, that every man who sees it will vote for Prohibition to keep that crowd out of Kansas.

Do the Signs of the Times Indicate a Coming Prosperity or Adversity? What Some of our Business Men say. The calm precedes the storm and the darkest hour is just before the dawn of dat'. Will the commercial calm that now prevails in Kansas, soon be followed by a season of commercial activity and a general prosperity, is the question that thousands of people are asking themselves. It need not be said that Wichita can not be prosperous while the state at large languishes. Everybody knows that would be impossible.

To be able to form even the remotest idea of when business of all kinds will be revived, we must first ascertain the immediate cause of the depression. Whatever may be the different opinions entertained as to the remote causes, all can agree that the immediate cause is the inability of our farmers to receive a good price for their produce. It takes but a novice in financial affairs to be able to explain that, if the thousands and millions of bushels of corn raised in Southwestern Kansas last year could have been sold at reasonable prices, or rather say an exorbitant price, one dollar per bushel, that Wichita would now be having such prosperity as her people never saw or expected to see. All our merchants would be taxed to their utmost to supply the demand for goods. Money would be plenty and seeking investment and every branch of business would feel the thrill of the new force set in motion.

Other people would hear of our prosperity and come to join us; farms would change hands at advanced prices, city lots would be wanted on which to build houses. Farms would be improved and city properties would be repaired and labor, labor, would be the cry. No man would stand upon the streets idle because no one had hired him; there would be work for all. But, we did not get a dollar a bushel for com, hence these other things did not take place. Instead of going to market, a very large proportion of the com raised last year remains on the farms where it was raised, and if all signs do not fail, another bountiful crop will this year be added to that of last year.

Southern Kansas will then be in the condition of the man who owns the richest mine of gold ever discovered, and standing at the mouth of his shaft just ready to appropriate the precious metal. This com is a mine of wealth. It is no use for a man to say that he can not get money out of corn. If he will knock two or three boards off the end of his cribs and turn a couple of old Poland sows into it they will get the money out for him. They will almost bring the shining golden eagles and put them into his hand.

Some are constantly saying that the farmer cannot hold his com, when all the time they know he could not sell and has held it, until here it is time to go to work raising another crop. He cannot sell it now and in twenty days more he cannot sell it, even if the market should advance because he will not have time to haul it to market. Just think of it. In one hundred and seventy days more and Southern Kansas will have another matured crop of com to pile on top of that we now have. The Democrat has no hesitancy in predicting, and going onward, that this very com that will be on hand next August is the very mine of wealth that will make Southern Kansas the happiest land on earth.

What will Wichita be then? Let him who has a foothold continue steadfast. Let him who has money and no Wichita property catch on quick. Wichita has enthusiastic friends but their conception of what Wichita will be ten years hence is but a mouse compared to an elephant; a current bush compared to a forest of oaks. The writer saw corn in Illinois, in the latter part of the fifties, for two successive years sell for eight and twelve cents per busheL He saw destitute farmers (almost) with immense cribs of com on their farms. In a remarkably short time Illinois bounded like a giant to the front rank of states.

Her prosperity was marvelous to behold, and her cities raised as if by magic. This thing is going to be repeated in Kansas. Just watch Wichita grow, now very soon when the result of this accumulation of farm products begins to be turned off in stock. Everybody will say if the farmers could keep their com and feed it, they would make money and we would have prosperity. Whether Southern Kansas desires it or not, we are today subjected to conditions that will compel this section to have on hand the first of next August the largest supply of com ever before known in any other section of country of like extent on earth.

The result will be that a prosperity undreamed of will follow. Wichita, as no other city, will be benefited by this prosperity. The foregoing was submitted to a number of our business men and asked the question, what do you think of the results here predicted? The following are their answers to the question Geo. Walters I think that is a correct conclusion. Col.

M. 31. Murdock That is sound as a dollar. W. F.

Green I do not know about that. I expect you know what you are talking about. I have noticed in the last eighteen years that many of your ideas about this country have been good. -L. D.

Skinner Those conclusions and arguments are irresistable. You are correct. J. O. Davidson I think that is ist what will happen.

I believe in the long ran it would be better if the railroads would advance rates on corn so as to compel our farmers to feed it. This country and Wichita will soon be all right. N. F. Neiderlander I think the results you have produced will come.

That is what will naturally follow from such conditions. C. A. Walker That is just right. Farmers do not want to come to a western country where they cannot raise com.

We have oceans of cheap com, that shows we can raise it. Wichita is all right, sure. All we want to do is to quit growling and keep right along at work. Ex-Mayor Allen I have argued all the time that it would be better if farmers could hold their corn. But what they are going to do for immediate relief I do not know.

Col. H. W. Lewis I can not see any farther into a mill stone than anybody else. I do not know what the result will be.

I am glad you fellows all do know. S. E. Jocelyn The position is sound the result is certain individuals may suffer and some fail if pushed to the wall but the outcome is sure sure as day follows night. There are too many men in the world who want will have such opportunities when available not to bring the result predicted.

The good times will come as the dawn comes when the watcher is most dependent and then the gloom will all be dispelled. What we all should do here among ourselves is to be patient with those who would if they could but cannot. It is bad policy to crash them when the outcome is so near and so certain. W. D.

3IcCormick Why certainly it is coming you can feel it in the air, everybody is feeling better confidence is N. A. Ilerrig was around last Saturday setting up the cigars. It is a girl. Mother and Nick are both doing well.

Charles E. Burrows, former captain of police in this city, has been appointed chief by the police commissioners. The uncertainty of local politics this year has caused fewer candidates to appear now than at this time last year. J. D.

Houston has removed his law office from the Sedgwick building to rooms 8 and 10 in the Fechheimer building. It is said that Engineer Naud of the wrecked train said in Wichita after the wreck that he would never run another train. California on Wheels, two cars of California products, has been on exhibition at the Missouri Pacific depot in this city since Monday last. Poor Peters, the road master killed in the wreck on the A. T.

S. F. south of this city last Monday, leaves a wife and eleven children in Newton. Some unknown parties last Monday night made a target of Detective McMahan at the Fort Scott depot Four shots were fired at him, ail striking the depot. Kesubmission orator Payne gives it as his opinion that in all sections of Kansas where he has visited that fully thrpe-foarths of the people are in favor of repealing the prohibitory amendment.

The jury in the dam damage case brought here from Sumner county, allowed the farmer one cent damage for for having the water backed on his premises, rendering a ford on his farm impassable. Already there is considerable interest manifested in regard to the coming election of aldermen. It is the general talk among citizens of Wichita that none but business men of acknowledged ability will be elected this spring. A Winfield man was arrested in the south part of this city last Monday night for looking into the windows of private houses. It is supposed he had read Ralph Easleys account of the Wichita joints and was looking for one.

The residence of the popular alderman of the second ward, Mr. Schnitzler, presented a lively and animated appearance last Thursday evening. The happy occasion was a party given in honor of Mrs. Schnitzler, that being her birthday. The representative of this paper did not learn how old Mrs.

Schnitzler was, but she looked on that happy occasion to be about eighteen years old. The lawyers of Wichita will give a grand banquet at the Carey tomorrow evening. None but lawyers are expected to be present. The lawyers of Wichita are numerous enough, and brilliant enough, to make the occasion one long to be remembered. There is some fear expressed that the collection of this heavy talent in the eastern part of the city will cause the fifth ward to tip up.

James E. Grant and his son, John Grant, were in Wichita last Friday en route to Edmund, I. T. Charles M. Grant, son of the farmer and brother of the above named, was found dead on his claim near Edmund a short time since.

The best evidence oblainable goes to show that Charles Grant was murdered for his money. The father and brother said they were going there and that they will make a vigorous effort to bring the perpetrators of the murder to justice. The Real Estate Exchange, recently established in this city, seems to be working in good shape. The members express a belief that the organization is going to be beneficial in facilitating business. Last week the following gentlemen were elected members of the Exchange: E.

G. Raferty, Hardy Soloman Sons, W. A. Plummer, J. H.

McCall, Arthur E. Allen, M. W. Levy, A. H.

McKee, and Applegate Mallory. The association now numbers about sixty, and will it is thought in a very short time receive a number of new members. The south bound passenger train on the AT. S. F.

was wrecked last Monday I morning about one mile south of Green station. Green is the first station south of Wichita and is about six miles from the Douglas avenue depot. The wreck was caused by a burned bridge over a small depression. Roadmaster Peters, of Newton, was riding on the engine at the time and was instantly killed. Engineer Eugene Naud and Fireman Jacob Benfer jumped from the engine.

Nauds leg was badly fractured and Benfer received a strained ankle and was otherwise badly bruised about the neck and shoulders. The engine, tender, baggage and mail cars were all badly smashed to pieces, but the baggage master and mail clerks came out with slight bruises. Besides the cars mentioned, the train consisted of five or six passenger cars. The passengers were badly jarred and scared, but no one hurt. Weheard Col.

Jocelyn talking to an Ohio man the other day. You are subject to drouth here, said the Buckeye man. I have been here for eighteen years, said the colonel, and I have never seen but two failures. Now in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio in that time you have lost five crops by cold backward springs or frost in the early fall. Now which is the worst, to lose five crops by being frozen at both ends, or to lose two crops by being burnt up in the middle The Ohio man said he would rather have the two crops burnt in the middle.

There is anoiier thing, said the colonel, that shows that Kansas is a great state. Our farmers pay from ten to twelve per cent for money. They are at the end of a long haul, and have the tariff and Prohibition solid against him. Now you see, if our farmers had not the best soil and climate on earth they must have gone under long ago, and they have not gone under yet. The Ohio man said, that is the best argument I ever heard to prove the productiveness of Kansas soil.

It is a good state that can do that and no mistake. The Democrat has on its subscription list the names of some old settlers in this county. Among the list of names is that of R. Q. Snyder.

Quince, as the boys call him, came to this county and settled on a claim about two miles southeast of Derby, ust twenty years ago last uesday. At that time Quince, Perry Eaten, Me Williams and Ed. Osborn were about the only settlers in that section. Quince was but ninteen years old at that time and could not file on his claim. Every few days during the following fall some one would come along and threaten to jump his claim, but by threatening a contest, Quince stood them off for about one year.

His brother Henry then came, and Quince gave the claim to him and settled on the east a less desirable piece of land, and held that until he became twenty one years old, when he filed on it and proved it up. He lives on that place today and with the exception of being a radical Republican is one of the best citizens in Rockford township. alley Grove Alliance. F. 31.

Dofffemyer introduced some resolutions which were adopted by the Valley Grove Alliance of this county that have the Tight ring. These resolutions denounce in unmeasured terms the plan adopted by the national farmers Alliance at St. Louis in recommending that the government furnish storage for the farmers grain. Valley Grove Alliance declare that they do not want the government to take care of them, and that they are opposed to the government taking care of any other interest. This Alliance sums up the gist of their objection in the following resolution: Resolved, that we are unalterably opposed to granting special favors to any class, even if that class be farmers.

AVe say, Equal rights to all and special favors to none. That knocks the props right square from under every protected industry in this country. Equal rights to all and special favors to none, is a good healthy doctrine. The farmers in this instance may have builded better than they knew, like most everyone else hen they do a good thing. If all the farmers in the western states would inscribe this for a motto on their banners they would do more than they have ever yet done to get ustice for themselves.

Resolved, further, that we favor the passage of a law by congress in which the president of the United States shall be empowered to suspend for a reasonable time the tariff laws of the United States when it shall come to his knowledge that any article of merchandise offered for sale in the United States or territories is, in any way controlled by combinations or trusts. Hip! hurrah for the farmers of Valley Grove Alliance! That is just what every interest in this country does when protected by a high tariff. Kansas congressmen had better come out and learn statesmanship of this A lliance of farmers. District Court, 18th Judicial District, Sedgw ick County, Kansas. Wm.

J. D. Houston, riaintm's Attorney. 55t The Arcade is the place for bargains. This is the verdict of the people and in this country their verdict counts for something.

Country people when visiting the city in these days of 10 cent corn, will find that a good solid dollar will go a long ways and purchase vast amounts of dry goods at the Arcade, 139 North Main street. The store thronged with people every day, and a competent corps of accommodating clerks, always ready to attend to the wants of customers. 5-lt Frank A. Cooper Manufacturers and Jobbers of the Famous Calla Lily Toilet (roods. AAIichita Market Review.

There has been so little change in local markets since our last report that we are compelled to let last weeks quotations stand with the exception of a decline of 2 cents on hogs. Receipts of all kinds of grain by wagon are almost the same as last reported but there is an increase in receipts by rail. Last 3Ionday J. AY. Hawn received fifty cars and shipped thirty -seven cars of corn, wheat and oats.

Cattlr The receipts of cattle during the week past have been scarcely up to the demand, and in sympathy with eastern markets the Wichita market has ruled higher on butchers grades, while choice shipping cattle are very active and in demand at last weeks quotations. Choice and fancy shipping steers are selling for $3 804.S;0. Cows and heifers suitable for butchers are in good demand at prices ranging all the way from $1.75 2.65. The best grades of this class of stock are bringing 30 and 40 cents higher than last week. Hoos The receipts of hogs during the week past have been moderately liberal, but have not been anything like up to demand of packers.

All hogs offered have found ready sale at 2, cents below last weeks prices. Good qualities of hogs are now selling and have for some days past sold for $3 67, nearly every lot sold going for that figure. The quality of hogs on the Wichita market are so generally good that there is but a small range in prices. Sheep The market may be quoted steady for good mutton sheep at $3.25 3.70. Good to extra lambs will bring $4.004.50.

Wheat The receipts of wheat during the week past have not been large, farmers being inclined to hold. There is now a good demand for wheat by Texas millers, and shippers are active competitive buyeis against local millers for all good wheat oflered. While last week only very choice lots brought 60 cents, all good sound mill wheat will sell for those figures Local millers, while taking all offers at prices quoted, are not anxious to lay in large stocks, as they think by the 22d, when the new schedule of Texas rates take effect, markets here will be lower. Low grade wheat may be quoted at 2540 cents, which is the same as last weeks prices. Corn Corn during the week has been in active demand owin to a reduction of freight rates to Texas points and is now selling one cent above last weeks quotations.

Good sound, dry yellow corn brings 1414J cents, while white is selling at mills for 16 cents. Oats There ie a good demand for oats but prices have not advanced since last weeks report. Prices range from 815 cents. J. L.
