By our telegraph dispatches yester-
day, it appears the President is resolved
to enforce the Territorial laws in Kansas,
as they may be interpreted by the courts
OF the territory.
1t is reported that the grand jury have
found indictments against all the Free
State leaders in Lawrence, and the same
authority says over 200 persons living in
Topeka and neighborhood have also been
indicted, and warrants are now in the
hands of the civil officers, who will be
supported by the military in serving
them. On the 18th INST, company of
dragons passed through Lawrence to the
village OF Franklin and arrested six of
the inhabitants and took them to
Walkers camp. Their offence is not
stated.
Lots on some Of the principal streets
in Lawrence are selling for $1,000 each.

site of the city is in dispute and the case
is now pending before the courts. 1tsp.

A LARGE ESTATE. The Worcester
Npy learns that the estate OF the late ex-
Governor Sprague. of Rhode Island,
amounts TO over six million dollars! A
most remarkable fortune to DE accumula
ted by single family in one generation.
In 1921, Governor Sprague's father was
a small farmer on poor farm, in the vi
cinity of Providence, R. l. He attend
ed Sheriff's sale and purchased small
calico print works, whose owner had
failed. In the watts and dye kettles were
found dye stuffs enough to pay nearly
the cost of the whole establishment
This fortunate purchase led him into the
manufacturing of cotton cloth and print
ing calico; aided by his two sons, the
business prospered and increased till
"Sprague's Prints" were standard goods
throughout the country. and were worn
in every household in the land. In the
beginning, not having been bred to com
mercial habits, it was said the father
carried all the accounts and papers o
their business in the crown of his hat
subject to be scattered to the wind by
any little puff or breeze that might rais'
the old beaver from his head. Though I'm
systematic. they were always correct, in
dustrious and prompt, and they grew il
wealth, while thousands in the SAM
line, who deemed themselves more com
petent, sunk and lost their whole invest
ments. The father died few years age
at good old age. The elder son wa
mysterously murdered one evening, b.
an unknown assassin, while passing fror
his factory to his house, few rod
through field. The last member {
the firm was the Governor. whose estat
IL me ntioned above. They have bee
one of the largest and most prosperou
manufacturing firms in the country.
