Elcrator Should l)e Built to the Frnits of tlio Coming Harvest Sonc Probability That a Move- meut Will "be Started in That Direction ii s- restions Coiiccrn- iag Wichita's Grain Trade.

For one or two years Wichita was the greatest wagon-wheat market in the world, a fact that was shown at the time to be tiue by the figures of the agricultural department Ht Washington. It was before either the Missouri Pacific or Rock Islaud railroads liad built into southern Kansas, and when the eastern terminus of the Santa Pa was on the Missouri river. Wichita at that time had seven elevators and two storage bouses. But because of her lack of storage capacity, wane of power to grade, and facilities tor cleaning, together with the struggle made for the wheat tiaffic by the new roads coming in, the trade fell into the bands of Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City grain dealers and was scattered to side-track car-loading and small station elevators erected by these eastern grain interests all over the wheat growing belc.

Ever since that time the wheat of southern Kansas has been subjected to being mixed, tolled and gradtd by foreign dealers. The direct way for the farmers of south Kansas to realize the Missouri river price for wheat is to concentrate it at Wichita for the purpose of cleaning and grading to bo forwarded on to destination without any additional lay over freight charges. To do this elevators and storage capacity is absolutely necessary. A grain buyer of the Nevling Grain company writes sensibly on this subject as follow Wichita, April 20, 1891. To tae Editor of the Eacle.

Our Grain and Trade convention has resulted iu no effort on our part to build au elevator. If our people are waiting for outsiders to do the work it is time for us to kuow it and ubmidon hope. When an auditorium was considered necessary, a few energetic business men raised the required funds. If our business men believing as they do iu Wichita's supremacy ns a grain center sell their birthright, what will be the consequences? An effort is now being mude to aggregate tbo shipments of grain from this point for the sake of comparison with Kansas City shipment. There is not one car of grain out of every hundred moved by our local grain dealers which is stopped at Wichita and would appear to our credit.

Shipments originating at Wichita or Kansas City are comparatively nil; but takiug the number of our dealers and the relative disadvaiitiges of rates Into account, we can show more shipments than our rival. -In view of what wo are doing, in view of what we can do, in view of the irredeem-hble less to this part of the state, in view of teeming prospects, and in view of our interest and faith in Wichita, the west and the south; let our iiiflueiui.il business men take the elevator matter up. Let the same public spirit characterize their efforts which has been shown in other mailers pertaining to the public good, aud we will have tho long sought tor and ruuen needed elevator in time to handle our coming harvest. There hns oen many suggestions as to the ways aud means wliicli are feasible, hut, whatever plan should be adopted. Wichita should own her elevator.

The most exciting runaway of the year occurred about o'clock last evening on North Main street. Mr. and Mrs. N. H.

Spencer were duven to the depot by their servant girl Florence Gee, and while she was returning home two nieu, unknown to her, frightened her horse near the Occidental hotel and he dabbed down Main itreet at a terrible rate of speed. When she realized that she could uot stop him (he jumped from the vehicle aud fell to the ground with such force that bhe wrenched her arm badly and came within a trifle of breaking it. The horse continued to run with all his speed down Main street, and he was finally stopped by running into a telegraph po-it In front of Chapman ic Walker's. He ran just a block and a half, only, but in that distance he succeeded iu wrenching the wheels off thrte buggies and a cart, be-Mdea pulllug the shafts and two wheels 1MB the vahiclo ho was hitched to.

Well Known Kestiui ant Dloa on Train in message was received last night from Big Spiing, Texas, by Bob McCaun, stat-iufg that Fred Edick, one of the proprietors of) the Elite restaurant ou Mam street lifted in the train near that place.

It is t-Mideut that he died very suddenly, for, iijypnienily.hewas identified only by a business card iu h's pocket. Last Monday Fred lett here for Arizona ncxiording to the advice of his physician, but KtFort Worth ho had aseveie hemorrhage mj.4 had to Hy over there a few days. During pust few yars Mr. Edick has belen suffering from consumption, but wyrked riht along iu establishment, uiiviag only taken a few briet lay oil's. (He was oC years old and leaves a wife but no children to mourn his loss.

U'he news was a great shock to Mrs. Ecick, for while she knew him to be very delicate, nevertheless, there were no indications when he left home that his life wt)xld be cut short -o soon. has not been decided yet whether the remains are to be brought back to Wichita. The any frieuds of Mrs. Edick will be serry to hear of the cause of her sorrow.

C. Becker of Middleton, Is a vLitor in the city. He is connected with a boot and shoe factory and seems to understand the cause of the general distress prevailing. He cays it is owing nearly altogether to a lack of confidence, on the part of the men who are financially interested in industrial enterprises in the Democratic party, to properly legislate for general business interests. He thinks, also, th.it; if the tariff bill is disposed of soon, no matter in which way, that times will improve a little.

Dilly dallying with the tariff keeps the manufacturers in a general state of uncertainty. They don't know how to buy or sell; not knowing what the value of the raw material will be after the tariff bill is passed. When asked his opinion of the Coxey movement he said: "It reminds me to pome extent of Jack Cade's little racket in Enslaud during the reign of Henry the bixth. Yon will find that it will end in a fizzle, as did Cade's revolution. I didn't know that Coxey resembles Jack Cade I can't say that he does personally but his followers certainly resemble the fellows that went with Cade.

Cade was the cat's paw of the duke of York; Coxey is the cat's paw of the Populist party, which, in time, expects to reap any of the doubtful advancages that may accrue from the movement. "All this talk about concentrating unemnloved men in Washington as a living petitiou is mere nonsense. There will uot be 1,000 members of the army in Washington ou May 15. "Will there be bloodshed?" not a drop: These people will find ont that this is a strong government aud they will not attempt to precipitate any trouble even if there were enough of them to raise a disturbance. The fact is, there is no serious importance attached to the movement in the eastern states.

It is the enterprising and imaginative reporter that is filling up the Coxey ranks and creating his armies. I hear more Coxey talk out here during au hour than I would hear in Middleton during a week. I heard a group of your citizens on the corner today comparing the movement to the French revolution. There is no comparison. I have also heard some comparing it with John Brown's movement.

In this there is also no comparison. John Brown was followed by armed cranks; Coxey is followed by unarmed tramps." VICTIM OF A J0K3. Why James Gaiver Mude a Flying Trip to Cznalia. Whn RarvAv. traveling Dassen- rrpr Hrnt.

Mr RnrvpT 11 ere.it rustler after IS- sengers and whenever he hears of any number of people who desire to travel east he loses no time in getting to see tuem. A few days ago while in Kansas City he received a telegram from a friend saying "Come to Omaha at once; quite a number of people hre who desire to go to Washington." He hastily packed his grip and started in a run to tho depot to take an early train for Omaha. At the Union depot he met other passenger agent who asked him where ho wa- going in such a great hurry.

He wanted to scoop them in the passenger business and he couldn't tell them truly where or ou what mission he was going so he wiped a tear out of his eye and sorrowfully told them he was going out to Kansas to atteud the funeral of a relative. When he arrived at Omaha he hunted up his friend to find out who the parties were who desired to go to Washington aud he was told Kelly's Commonweal army. After petting up $30 for champagne ond payiug for the service of a colored gentleman to kick him, he conspired with other friends to make other victims of the joke. Every passenger ngeut in three states were sent telegramB such as Mr.Garvey received and in twenty-four hours every road was represented at Omaha by a traveling agent. Garvey is due here in a few days and there is lots of joshing in store for him.

That she sold the milk from the cow and iu this way sustained and supported ht-raelf. But that her hus-btud bore down upon poor bossie and would not allow Caroline to milk her and so the petitioner had no means of support. She therefore aked the court that her husband be required to pay a weekly stipend to her for her support which she claims he is able to do as his business of blacksmith briugs him $25 a week.
