An Excellent Soda Fountain.

Reader, are you fond of a cooling bev-
erage at this season of the year, the ten
dency of which is to allay thirst, and re-
duce the general heat of the body, and is
yet destitute of any pernicious effects
upon the animal economy? Call on Mr..
J. WEBSTER, at WOODWARD & FINLEY's
drug store, and you will find syrups pre-
pared with great care, from lemon, pine
apple, strawberry, sarsaparilla, ginger, or
any of the preparations of that character,
with an excellent soda fountain always
supplied with ice cold spring water, from
which the thirsty can drink and be filled
for five cents glass. The sarsaparilla is
PARTICULARLY recommended for its fine fla
vOr and medicinal qualities, while the
strawberry will probably be as palatable
as any other drink. Those wishing to
treat friend, can do so at this fountain,
without having the modification of seeing
him an hour after half delirious from the
baneful influence of alcoholic stimulants.

False Charge.

We are beginning to fear that the charge
.,.t the Kansas Herald Of Freedom has
t,.-s.,ted the Free State cause, has some
sGnndstion in truth. The following ex-
..,r, from an editorial in recent issue is
...icrIated to induce such an apprehen-
son:
nTbe policy of Gov. WALKER is pol
80 the people of Kansas have reason to
Ill with delight. 1t will release them
tom G nolitical thraldem; it will give them
rs. session ! Of all their God-given rights"
Gov WALKERS policy urges and CON-
,,ands obedience to the infamous bogus
Avs! This is supporting freedom with
:. vengeance. The Herald Of FreetOne must
nance its tone if it would retain the con-
6Iepce of the Republican party through
ont the States.-E5ie Gazette.
And what was "the policy of Gov.
W.kktR" which we SO heartily approved?
and Of which the Gazette says we must
change our position to "retain the conf
deDce of the Republican party?" 1t is
that which submits the Constitution to a
vote of the ,clole people of Kansas. The
bopls laws were not alluded to by us. The
Republican press are pursuing policy
ioyard us that is unfair and cruel; but we
can bear it if they can, though We confess
that we feel Inundated at their want of
generosity. The policy of Gov. Walker
!. almost universally approved by the
people of Kansas,-not the policy of APP
proving the 'Jogus la,os," but the policy
which will enable us to get rid of them.

Sold Out.
The Toledo Blade saws

aThe Herald of Freedom does not, and
has not at any time, advocated the voting
of Free State men at the bogus June cleo
tion."
Neighbor, if you will turn back to the
Herald of three weeks since, or therea-
bouts, you will find leading editorial,
calling upon the Free State men to turn
out and vote at the bogus June election,
and sustaining the position of the n. Y.
Times on the subject. Neighbor, the
Herald is bogus--it has sold out for thirty
pieces of silver TO the enemies. Let it so.
.-Chtcogo Tribune.
This is but specimen of the .fdisehoots
which a corrupt partisan press is employ
ing against the Herald of Freedom. Instead
of urging people to vote we everywhere
urged them not to vote. For the future
we expect to see them vote, let political
conventions advise as they viii.

The Fourth.

The young people had a very fine party
athe Central House, last week, in honor
Of orr national anniversary. Quite a
number of citizens collected at the Nor
TOW House, on Friday evening, and talked
Cd political matters, censuring those who
did not choose to see things just as they
did. A party dressed in fantastic costume
paraded the streets in the evening of the
Eth, to the great nirth of the chill dren, and
10 the apparent satisfaction of those con-
nscted with the party. Their sport as
sumed harmless form, and probably will
be repeated.
The celebration at Clinton partook of a
political character, and was used by the
speakers to vindicate the Topeka Consti.
tuition. A premature explosion of can
non bowed off an arm for the person
loading, and severely injured him in his
face.
We have no information from Othel
places in the Territory as we go to press
1t was our design to have visited Tecum-
sch on that day, but circumstances pre-.
vented us from doing so.

The History of Kansas.

We commence again this week the pub
GcatiOn of our KANSAS HISTORY, which
has been suspended for several months,
owing to the absence of our associate, Mr..
WATTLEs, from his post. He has return
ed and will remain with us from this for
ward, unless prevented by some circum-
stance over which neither of us has any
control. We shall revise and republish
the preceding numbers Of the history as
soon as practicable, and supply new sub.
ScrlbcrS with ii, as also those who have
Oeen prevented from getting the early
numbers of the paper containing it.
We hope all our old subscribers who are
Interested in the paper will interest them
selves in its behalf. Whilst there is a
systematic attempt of partisans to crush il
cut, the people, who desire the triumph Of
Tue truth, without regard to its partisan
influence, are requested to exert them
selve for it.

To the People of Lawrence.

In taking the census of Lawrence, many
persons were absent, and it has been i'm
possible, in many cases, to get an accurate
list, it was also impossible to see a great
many, and give them an opportunity to
sign the petition for the Free State Consti-
tuition. The census returns and petition
will be kept at my Office until the 10th
inst. I hope all persons omitted on GEN.
sus returns, or who wish to sign the Free
State petition, will call and do so imme-
diately. One sheet of census returns has
been lost, will the finder please return the
same to my Office? S. \. WOOD.
