Ols widder, BoONABTIEL. Letter From Kansas- Salina Kanh., July 14, 1888. Ed. Pout : While I take up my pen to try and write a few lineH, this part of Kansas is getting a shower of rain, the value of which cannot well be rated too high, for they were very much in need of rain here. But to take it as a whole, Kiuihiih has not suffered for rain very much this season. Wheat, which is now being harveHted is all that any person ex pected, oats might be better, but corn at this time is doing very well j but in this country they can be sure of nothing till it is threshed. Pros pects are now that there will soon bo more money handled than there has been for some time. Borne of the wealthiest men in (tome of these towns cannot to-day pay their small grocery bills. Enough of that, now back to Kansas city. A year ago all Kansas towns were booming and at that time Kansas city was booming more than at any other time, but it has been having a steady growth for several years and is still growing, while the Kansas towns are having their reaction now. I sojourned there a week last fall and at that time took notes that I have never taken time since to write from. A European war would make this town the superior of Chicago in a year, and whether the French and Germans conclude to fight or not, it is a great town, and is destined to bo a greater. People in the East and South have very littlo idea of this western- country. To them Mis souri bus no deliuito placo iu mem ory except as the James brothers have mado it famous. But Kansas city is a town with which none of theso memories have anything to do. It is a product of the now life which has come to the United States, since tho war, and it is tho greatest and best examples of American vim and energy and push that I ever saw. It is in an angle where tho Kaw river runs into tho Missouri. The Kaw or Kansas river is a sluggish torrent of black mnd, running through the deep prairies of Kansas, and after making abend, butting it self against the Missouri river direct ly up stream. But the Missouri don't mind that litt le diversion tit all. It is a whimsical, woman-like river which had as soon run up stream an down. In one place it will be a cou ple of miles wide and about six inch es deep. Somewhere else it will be 31)0 or 400 yards wide and deep enough to float a man of w ar. By next year all of this may be reversed, you can't tell. Part of town in the west bottom is in Kansas but the bulk of it is in Missouri. In the triangle between tho two rivers the re is quite a city, with about- twenty railroad running through its Union depot, and the rest of the ground occupied with it huge stock yards, its tremendous packing and canning factories and the habitations of its laboring peo ple. But buck of this south of it the red clay bluff rise 300 feet into the air and on top of them tho town of Kansas city is built. If you want to get up there, there is a cable road running car every five minutes from a station iu the air above the roof of the depot to the top of the hill. There is also a winding carriage-w ay which will enable you to reach the town. And the big mouth of a tun nel looks ut you from the side of the clilT when you gel off the cars. This has been finished since I was there and is now tho avenue for another cable road. I suppose that in a year or two they will have a balloon so as to drop .vo'1 on tP "f the hill, or a pneumatic tube to shoot you up the craggy steep before you can say Jack Itobison. Once up here you are more surprised than ever. You did not expect to see such a town, and you would have been a crazy man if you had expected it. Iu lots worth . l.ouo a front foot, you see sunflowers blooming and wild hemp nodding its heavily ladeu head, full of seed pods.bcforean eternally blow ing breeze. Sunflowers and buffalo grass are everywhere. They come up through the auger-holes in the rude wooden sidewalks, and Haunt their faces iu the very doorways of palatial residences and cast their shadows over the carved mountings of costly stone steps. You are sur rounded on every hand with surprise and inconsistencies. Magnificent buildings riso out of the earth like a dream, and miserable shanties worth perhaps $1000 squat on land worth perhaps twice that sum a front foot. You rub your eyes and wonder. On every hand the most beautiful build uigs are going up and the sound of the hammer and saw are beard all night and all day Sunday. Every body is on the jump seven days in the week and if you wanted a tunnel built in the atmosphere some fellow would construct it for you in long pavements, and suspend it by cables from the moon so you could go to a different quarter of tho city every night. They have no time station on industry there ; no brake upon progress and no burden on faith. The city has a great future, and if you look around it and keep your mouth shut, you cannot help but see it. Kansas, Texas and Colorado are all behind it with their millions of fertile acres. For their corn. their cattle and their hogs they must seek an Eastern market, and they can send their products east no other way bo well as through Kansas city and to save freight, tho hogs must be packed here, and the beef must be canned here, before it goes to Europe. And tho hides of the bullocks must be tanned here and their bones ground into fertilizers. Even the hog bristles havo their commercial value. So, like a great net, this city sits here waiting to catch all the sediment which will and must come to it from tho boundless and fecund west. And the west grows every day more fruitful. Across tho Kaw river, in Kansas is tho thriving city of Wyandotte, which is to Kansas city what Brook lyn is to New York. You can go from here, on the lull tops, down the cable road and then on the elevated road over tho tops of the houses in west Bottoms, along past the great packing houses, and pork slaughter ing establishments, (where you can cut tho atmosphero in slices, with a lull knifo and fry it in its own grease.) over tho Kaw river on a substanti a bridge, and then through Wyandotte to tho country. Of course, "in the country" is a relative term there, for you never know when you get into tho country. In a corn field or or chard you will see the sign of a real estate agent and tholegand. "Theso lots for salo at $50 a foot. All over tho woods there uro streets aud lots, and plats of land. You cannot be lieve your own eyes, and yet, when you pinch yourself, there you are. But that is not Kansas city. Wyan dotte is on a boom too. Most of it was once owned by an old Indian chief of the Wyandotte tribe named splitlog, who is still living in Wyan dotte and is said to be worth two or three millions. He is now engaged extensively iu railroading and real estate. To give an idea of what kind of building they put up there, I will give tho amount of rent received by owner of one of them on Main St. With two store rooms on the ground floor and three more floors divided for offices, earns over $40, 000 a year rent. Of course I cannot say much about A city liko this in one letter but when a person remem bers that but 15 or 20 years ago it was but a village, one naturally says "wonderful." I had intended that this letter should begin and end in Kansas City, but I learned something to-day that may bo new to some of your read ers. I asked wliy they bad lynching parties for all the men who had been commiting murder of late, and they told me they had a law in this State opposing capital punishment aud if a man was found guilty of murder in tho first degree the Judge would sentence him to be hanged and he would bo taken to the Penitentiary but tho Oovernor w ill never sign the death warrant, and for that reason they have tho nct-k-tio parlies for them. I have been on the sick-list at Mc pherson and being too warm to-day for me to venture out. I took this opportunity to write what I had in tended writing before this. G. W. St IIWKXK McCi.vue Items. Fanners are busy cutting aud putting away their outs. The lioiiHe and lot of Anna Dreese dee'd, was sold on Sat unlay last at public sale to Tiliuan Weader for $1000.
