The judge was in a most amiable aiood, and was very glad to see the representative oi the Sunflower daily. In the course of the conversation the judge said that in his opinion the people ot this city should never consent to the sale of the government reservation.

It is not generally known to the patrons of the Western National fair the extent of the sacrifice the management made when tney decided to exclude all games of chance from the fair grounds. In carrying this order into effect it has caused the omcers to retuse worth ot game privileges. hen the largeness ot this sum is fully conceived by those in the habit ot attending the lair the question naturally arises how is the management to be re-imbursed for the extensive reduction in its revenues? Ever since the organization of the as sociation it has been customary to allow these disreputable gamesters to plv their thieving contrivances upon the unsophisticated. Thousands of dollars of hard- earned money has yearly been carried away by the s-mooth-firtted hounds who are generally the owiiers of the various games ot chance. the managers ot the lair considered it money in the pockets of their patrons to adopt the policy ot exclusion.

Again there has been a public demand so strong that it would not admit of anything but the adoption of the above policy, consequently the moral feeling of the management was aroused. After carefully considering this demand they come to the conclusion that the leaders of this crusade for the right would recognize the extent of the loss to be sustained by the association and lend their aid to build up the fair as earnestly as they have sought to remove these distasteful games of chance. The only way for the association to recover itself from this heavy loss is to re-ceiye the aid of every citizen who wants his family to attend a show as pure in morality as it is possible for anything to be of the same magnitude. Ihe exclusion of games of chance is not the only thing for which the management think it should receive the hearty support of every one. They propose to substitute for the gambling schemes every conceivable game ot sport that can be placed at the disposal ot its patrons.

It is hoped that this action on the part of the management of the fair will meet with the hearty approval of every good citizen, and that they will graciously remember the management by the presence of themselves, families and triends at the fair.

Colvln's Great Roman Hippodrome and Colossal New Wild West. The coming of the above-named monster amusement enterprise is a cause of enjoyment already among our show going readers, and we are now authorized to state that the great shows in all their combined unity, will positively exhibit at Leavenworth on Monday September 5. It is safe to' predict a large crowd for the circus on that day as everywhere the Shows have exhibited they have been attended by tens of thousands. Such leading papers as the Chicago Times, Cincin nati Enquirer, St. Louis Times -Democrat-Boston Globe and Herald, speak in glowing terms of the monster unification, and say that it is the largest, best equipped, best managed and most truthful show on the road.

In connection with the Great Inter-Ocean Circus, Menagerie, Museum, and Elevated stage, will be exhibited a grand Roman Hippodrome, and a magnificent new Wild West. The stars connected with the circus number fully 200, the riders in the Hippodrome count nearly as many, The Real Estate Markets And Upward Tendency in Values GREAT UUelNESS ol'TLOOE. The "Times" Reporter Interviews Several Prominent Real Estate Men The Views They Expressed aa to the Future or the Cttj In-terestiog Reading. The real estate market during the week has been very active. Every agent report increased activity.

During the last tew weeks, on account ot the hot weather and the unsettled future policy of the city, business in real estate was not so good as it ought to have been. Since the different interests have been harmonized, however, and the policy of the future settled, abstracters of titles report that they are flooded with orders for abstracts to new additions, and abstracts to other property have been left with them to carry down and complete to date. The air is full of "boom," and every property owner is preparing his goods for the market. Negotiations are being carried on for a hvrge quantity of property. There is no city in Kansas that has made so little noiee after having received so many new enterprises into the city as Leavenworth.

This year there is being built in our midst a union depot, owned by the difierent railroad companies that pass through the city. While we think this depot much too small for the city, as the population is increasing eo rapidly, yet it is a beautiful structure, and adds very much to the appearance of the lower end of Delawaia street. The public building, which is now being erected on the corner of Shawnee and Fourth streets, is three stories in height, and built of Ohio stand-stone. Architectually, this building is an ornament to the city, and when completed will be the largest and most commodious public building in Kansas. Added to this mast be named the new freight and passenger depot, now building on Shawnee, west of Broadway, for the Leavenworth, Northern Southern railroad.

This building will cost, when completed, upwards of $100,000. This company seems to be pre-pariug themselves to an immense business in Leavenworth not only their road, but their buildings are being erected in the most substantial manner, regardless of cost. During the last three years buildings have been erected at the Soldiers' home, which if spread out would make a good Bized town. This year the government is building a hospital at a cost of Thus it will be seen in the way of buildings Leavenworth is not behind her neighbors. In every part of the city the carpeuter and painter can be found remodeling and redecorating present buildincs.

The new buildings in prospect for this fall are a large office building on the corner of Fifth and Delaware to cost the Young Mens' Chriftian association building to cost 000; an office building on the corner of Fourth and Cherokee to cost and a new Congregational church to cost from $25,000 new buildings on Delaware street to replace those destroyed by fire, besides a number of residences. In the matter of railroads Leavenworth is far ahead cf her neighbors. The Leavenworth, Northern fc Southern road, which has just been completed through the city, connects us with the enterprising system of the Santa Fe. The construction of this road, in the matter ot grades and material used in building it, clearly proves that the j- company intended it lor a through main this road alone, when it is in lull operation, is sulliciect to give Leavenworth a bigger boom than aDy other city in Kan- sas Add to this road another, which is known as the Wyandotte Northwestern. This road has been built by Memphis cap-j italists who are seeking Kansas trade for 1 the South, and have connected with first to secure her manufactured goods.

We will aleo mention the Rapid I Transit road, which is now being built from i ort Leavenworth to the penitentiary, and perhaps in the future to Kansas City. Some ot our leading citizens have amalgamated themselves together and have a charter for an air line to run from Leavenworth to Denver. As Boon as arrangements were completed for building the first vo roads named, a party of gentlemen organized a company known as the River Side Coal company, and commenced sinking a coal mine south of the sugar factory. It is expected that they will be down to the main seam of coal by the middle of next month. This will employ upwards of five hundred men.

Gentlemen connected with the St. Fee railroad have also purchased a large quantity of coal land, and intend sinking a coal shaft. Another company is being organized, between Kansas City and Leavenworth capitalists to obtain coal land and sink a oal shaft near the Greenwood cemetery. To these may be added the new gas well, the contract ior which has been let to Mr. Reed of Pennsylvania, an expert in that line of business.

Uis men are at work erecting a derrick and machinery, and in a few days his drill will on its three thousand feet journey through the different stratas, until it reaches the natural gas reservoir, which experts say is beneath our city. Their calculations are based upon the fact th.t when experimenting in the present cof.l shaft, at a depth ot 1500 feet gas in large quantities was found, so much so that further experimental operations had to be suspended, and the hole filled up. The smaller enterprises must not be overlooked. West of the city there is perhaps the finest bed of clay that, can be found in the United State3. Some of our business men are experimenting with this clay with the object of starting a crockery factory.

We are also having new streets made at a cost of from seven to $800,000. Laborine men are now receiving from $1.50 to $1.75 per day, and a sufficient number cannot be got even at that price. The way to boom and build np a city is to establish new enterprises, such ai factories, coal mines, railroads and every other kind of industry that provides labor for the working man. Manufacturing cities are the safest to invest in. It is well known that one enterprise brings another, and the things we have named are only the commencement of a new era which has struck this city.

In the future we may look for harmony amongst our citizens, unity of action toward all new, solid enterprises, an increase in population and wealth and the building ot the largest manufacturing and commercial city in Kansas, and general it A n-ut Purf J.

UNITED In an interview with one of te elders, we were informed that the congregations at this church are very good, and especially for this season of the year, as they average about double the membership. The prayer meeting is well attended and the outlook is more promising than since the present pastor took charga. The officers of the church are very much encouraged, and are looking forward to a very prosperous fall, as they consider that all things point that way. The services at this church are as follows: Sunday school at 10 and preaching at 11 a.

As the sale of thit ehurch property has not yet been consummated, the officers are uncertain as to when the regular services will be resumed, but hope to be in a position to make some announcement next week, and iu the meantime the Sunday school is the only service being held.

Withrnb, two story brick dwelling on lot 26, block 21, on Cherokee street, city proper, estimated cost, $3,500. i was next called upon. He said that while he had nothing in particular to 6ay, he was greatly cheered over tho fact that recent inquires for lands indicated that there were larges numbers of men in the city who had capital and wero anxious to make investments.

A number of parties recently made inquires of him in relation to coal lands, and he had been most creditably informed that a new coal shaft would be sunk, and that negotiations looking to that end had already commenced. e. Jameson. Mr. Jameson, the real estate agent, was seen.

Lie said that since harmony had bean eflected he had been kept busy eery day, and that this week he sold two houses and three lots, and that he had several other trades on hand which he expected to effect. With reference to the fail trade he said that as things looked at present, "we were going to have the bicgest boom this fall that the city had ever seen," aud that property was cheaper to-day than ever it would be again. As to the change in the Eentiment, he considered the different feeling that had been brought about in one week, marvilous. it any one haa tola him one week ago that such a change would come about in so short a time he would not have believed them. As to the future he believed that Leavenworth would double her population in five years.

MR. IIUKTKR of the firm of Mizzlewitz Hunter, said: The outlook for the luture of Leavenworth real estate was never better than at present, as we have new railroad facilities that, when fully completed, must bring an influx of new people into the city. We also will have new coal mines in oppera-tion by October 1 that will employ from 200 to 300 men, and a gas well will, in the near tuture, be sending gas to light onr streets and furnish heat for our lactones and houses. Phere has of late been con siderable inquiry for city property. JUDGE A.

F. CALLAHAN, who has been actively and constantly in the real estate business in this city for thirty years said: Keal estate is entirely too cheap in Leavenworth city and county, ihere is not another city and county in the entire country to-day, of like population, where property is not four or five times as valua ble. There are many good, active, earnest men in Leovenworth, with sense, discrimination and judgement, who could soon, it encouraged, have the streets teaming with a new and vigorous population. Ihe croakers and grumblers have heretofore been in a majority, but. I am pleased to know that the good sense and determina tion of the progressive element is at last asserting itself, and revolutionizing pre vailing ideas and methods.

"The real estate market is firm, thoug not very active, but with a strong tenden cy upwards. The inquiry for property of all classes inreases daily, rom this on 1 predict renewed activity and there are many good reasons for the fact. The easy condition ot the money market throughout the country is a potent reason there being an immense surplus over and aboye both necessities and demands, which is constantly seeking safe investment. Of Leavenworth it is known everywhere, that she had years ago reached the bottom ana that she has tor hve years been on the upward scale. This gives tone to real estate and confidence to buyers Strikes.

outlawry and fanaticism, throughout the na'ion, has caused investors in stocks to un. load, and place their capital in the safest and surest of all investments real estate." There is no reason why Leavenworth should not go straight ahead and double in population and treble in real estate values, three years at most. The great improvements, so illy understood, which have been made in this city during the past two years, with the certainty of yet vaster improvements now planned; the enormous wealth centered in the city the equal facilities for import and shipment uow enjoyed by our merchants and manufacturers enduring Fort.Soldiers home and Penitentiary, inexhaustible coal and splended water, our easy drainage, unsurpassed landscape and healthy situation, all point to further enhancement, progress and agrandizement. It is as utterly impossible to hold Leavenworth back and to prevent her from becoming a great and prosperous city, as it would be to depopulate London." "Why," continued the judge, "I have resided in Leavenworth for thirty years and I have never lost faith in her. 1 am more fully satisfied of her future greatness than ever.

Look at the marvelous activity and strides achieved in the past two years in outside aud suburban real estate. Where cattle then browsed and horse3 pastured is now swarming with bright, fresh homes, occupied by thrifty citizens and laborers their owners. The sale of lots in the new additions familiarized the people with the varied locations, and largely increased the values of those once neglected neighborhoods. The two new railroads, to which we gave aid, have seen faithfully completed, and an inter-state bridge and other railways are to follow. When the landscape puts on its Sunday clothes, in the approaching autumn, yon will witness more life and activity in Leavenworth than ever before.
