The four main buildings are: The slaughtering and rendering house, the cooling and curing house, the smoking and packing house, and the boiler and engine house. These buildings are built upon twenty acres of ground and their dimensions will bo given below. Directly past them are laid the tracks of the Missouri Pacific, the Rock Island, the Frisco and the Santa Fe railroads. Connecting the slaughtering house and the stock yards is a. stoutly built elevated driveway, up which the hogs and cattle are driven, and when an unfortunate porker or bovine once commences to travel this passage he is as surely doomed as though already in the scalding vat.

The house which the hog enters is only a part of the main slaughtering and rendering building, and is called the hog house. It is 32xht feet in dimensions and ten stories high. Upon each floor is built a pen which will hold 300 or more hogs. The journey to the top floor is made up inclines, from floor to floor, up which the hogs are driven, and given a rest upon er.cn floor, being advanced as the supply at the top gives out. THE FIRST SQUEAL.

The victims, having arrived upon the top floor, are crowded into a narrow pen, at the sides of which stand several men, who vutIi wonderful celerity fasten a chain around one hind leg of a hog, and before the latter knows that lie lias been been captured he has been jerked into the air and hanging head down is rushed on towards a bloody individual who stops him i on his journey long enough to plunge a knife into his throat and give one twist, i The chain which is fasten' by a spring clamp around Mr. Porker leg is attach- ed to a wheel which runs upon an in- dined road, and which travels by the; weight of the hog, after it has been automatically raised toils position. Ao tho hog swings towards the sticker he is uowerless to do anything but squeal. Auer having received the thrust in the throat the hog swings on 'over a blood trough to the scalding vat, which is i reached in a few seconds, and before on- given tering which lie is allowed to hang for a very short time, until nearly all tie blood has left the body and the shrill squeal has been reduced to a gasp. ON A CURIOUS JOURNEY.

A touch releases the clamp from tbe hogs leg and lets the latter fall into a deep vat of scalding hot water, while the wheel and chain returns to the hog pen upon another line. The hog is rolled over and over in the vat until the opposite end is reached, when a scoop, operated by the distant engine, throws him upon the scraping table, over which two sprays of cold water play all the time, and-at which thirty men ar working, scraping and sharing the bod as it rolls past them. This table is about, thirty feet long, and by the tun the end is reached nearly every vesTigo of hair and bristle has been removed. IN THE RENDERING ROOM. Leaving the scraping table, the hog is again swung into the air.

Questions of commercial importance relating to the inexorable laws governing food supplies and demands must now be solved.

But what to other cities of less energy and enterprise, or perhaps less favored by nature, would be a decisive point in determine whether or no the future was to be of advancement, to ichita it is merely a turn in the road which leads more directly to success. Wichita stopped a moment for breath, and now, full of enthusiasm, is once more pushing forward at the same old pace which for three years surprised the country and directed upon itself th9 eyes of all. NATURAL TERRITORY. South and west of Wichita lies an immense territory, which is yet practically new to man. Not one acre in a hundred is under cultivation, or yielding from its stores to th-r wants of the world.

Resources of untold wealth yet remain locked in the mysteries of nature. Grand rivers will yield moisture to a soil richer and deeper than has ever been turned to the sun by the plow share. Grazing lands and forests of the finest timber are awaiting the conquest- of civilization. Coal of a quality equal to the best, and of a quantity beyond computation, lies so situated geographically as to be within easy reach, and also so situated as to be of direct use in developing the wonderful deposits of other minerals. For this territory there must be a provision city, at i A 4- ot The New Treasi ror.

Singer, one of the st known wood turners in the west. All of the mills do a sash and blind business and furnish all builders supplies.

The stair- industry is a seper-ate branch of the business and all are equipped for this work. Probably no branch of industry works up to higher standard than this, and the competition keeps prices down to bed rock. THE OVERALL FACTORY. Mr. A.

R. Jeserich has recently established a factory for the manufacture of overalls, at No. 117 North Topeka avenue. Although but fairly under headway the demand for home manufacture has steadily increased to such an extent that the proprietor talks of enlarging his premises. Upwards of fifty hands are constantly employed and when he can find room room this force is increased to seventy-five.

Everything in the line is made and put on the market at prices that defy competition. LEATHER AND FINDINGS. At number 111 West Douglas avenue of the leather emporium of Jos. Gold-bach.

This needs no demonstration, it must ha admitted by all.

This territory must of itself build up a great city. And the logic of facts will prove conclusively that Wichita is the city destined to receive the benefit. There will be other cities which shall pay tribute, but Wichita is and always will be the city. There will be bright and -enterprising and energetic cities within the territory mentioned, but there will be no rival of Wichita. This idea ha3 been so often under discussion that it is unnecessary to give it much attention at this time.

At noon the wind was blowing a gale, accompanied by snow and rain.

The captain of the Foster noticed that the strange schooner was steering badly and was falling astern. He watched for signals of distress and was prepared to render assistance. A little later, being about one and one-half miles in the rear, the unknown schooner suddenly sank and Captain Tufts has no doubt that all on board went down with her. The unknown schooner was laden under deck, carried a main topmast and had a new foresail. She appeared to be 120 tons and American build.

THE WIRE NAIL FACTORY.

A cut of which is here given, has not yet been finished although tiie tion is built and the lumber is on tire ground for the next step. There are two contesting parties after this plant and 1 he one 13 apparently trying to freeze out the other. The machinery for this factory is all boxed up at Joliet, awaiting shipment to Wichita. Wire nails have displaced the old kind to a great extent all over the world, and as nails are a staple article and can be made in Wichita as cheap as anywhere else, considering the tariff on the iron, which is all im ported, Wichita can supply tiie entire wost and southwest with nails, one of the best, paying industries on tiro face of the globe.

In a separate building, attached tothe others only by bridges, the smoking and packing of hams is attended to. The I smoke houses have four floors, each 22x 50 feet. In these houses 120,000 pounds of meat can be smoked and dried at a rime. It takes sixty hours to smoke the meat ready for market.

There is however to bo completed in Wichita within the next six months a plant which will be even superior to the Dold plant.

This week tho contract was signed with Francis Whittaker Sons, of St. Louis, binding them to erect and operate a packing house in Wichita equal to any ever built. Architect Thomas is even now at work on tiie plan -of the plant, and as lie gives iris word that it will be as extensive as any, all Wichita may engage in the congratulation business. Francis Whittaker Sons have been in the business since 1818 and they have the advantage of a long experience. Their plant hero will dilfer some what from Mr.

Dolds. The buildings will not run up so much in tiie air, but will cover more ground. The capacity of tho Whittaker piant will hogs, 600 cattle and 3(XJ cheep per day. The average run will be I hogs, 300 cattle and 150 sheep in tiie Summer per day and twice that in tiie winter. The Dold capacity is about tho same; probably 3,000 hogs, 500 cattle and 300 sheep per day.

Mr. Dold expects to commence killing 1 about the 5th of next month, and will run from 500 to 800 hogs per day, in creasing as tiie market increases. In one year from to-day the Dolds and Whitta- kers will be slaughtering from 4,000 to 5,000 hogs per day. SMALLER PLANTS.

The building in situated on tiie block bounded by Main, Central, Pine and Market streets, which i3 also the site of the new court house, lie foundation of which is already laid.

The jail is two stories with a basement and an attic, Constructed entirely of brick and iron, with all tho modern improvements and conveniences in tbe residence portion, while that portion which is allotted the prisoners is fitted with tho latest improved appliances for manipulating and caring for the inmates. Three aims seem to have been in tiie minds if the projectors, tiie security of tiie prisoner, lie safety of the jailor, and the necessary a eommodu-lions for the proper care of criminals. The jail proper, is constructed by the Pauly Jail Works company, of Ht. Louis, and according to their methods revolving cells are of chrome steel, warranted to withstand the hardest tile or drill, and so arranged that in case of lire the inmates would tie a safe distance from the flames. Overhead is a thick concrete floor absolutely tiro proof while nothing on either hand or liow is of a combustible material in the rear oT the basement of the building are the boilers which are of sufficient size to heat the nl and the new court house.

The southeast corner is devoted to store room, kitchen and if necessary oneofthe rooms would make a very comfortable winter diningroom.

The cattle and sheep are killed much the same manner as the hogs. They are driven up to the eighth floor, where they are driven one at a time into a narrow pen over which the striker stands. By a well aimed blow the skull between the eyes is fractured and tho animal drops stunned, and almost dead.

The body is hoisted just as is the hog, and the throat is cut and the blood drawn in exactly the same manner. Passing into the rendering room the skin is removed, the entrails taken out, the body split into halves and rushed forward to be cooled. THE COOLING ROOM. The cooling room, or rather the winter ding room, is on the seventh floor of the curing and packing building and is 65x167 feet in dimensions, and is connected by a bridge with the slaughtering house. It will hold 3,000 hogs, and in the winter the entire cooling is done in ttiis room, but in the summer the meat i3 allowed to hang in this room long enough to nearly dry, when it is lowered to the next floor and cooled by ar tirtcial means.

Here the complete arrangement of the establishment is demon itrated. In order to lower the meat to the next floor, elevators are used which are operated by their own weight. A double pulley is used and as one elevator goes down, by the weight upon it another is raised, and as the swung so as to all slide toward vators, the only work necessary is to unfasten the clamp chains and start them upon tbeir journey back to tho rendering room.
