Express conpany-paily Mail.

We learn that Richardson's BIO.
Express Company has purchased the mail
route between Kansas City and Topeka,
and will hereafter carry the mail in their
express carriages, between these points.
They commenced last Monday with a
daily messenger on the route; and purpose
carrying the mail daily as soon as they
can get the sanction of the department at
Washington. This express Company has
become a matter of considerable import
ance, as we'll as convenience to the people
of Kansas. In fact it could hardly be dis
peBsed with, and the wonder is, how our
business men have been enabled to get
along for such length of time without
the services of such company.

Passing along Massachusetts, street the

new building on our right, over the door
of which We saw Boots and Shoes and

at the door prompted US to enter: where
we found our friend 81. SHANKLIS, late Of
Fort Wayne, Indiana. who has recently
opened first class boot and shoe store in
Lawrence, and is engaged in the whole
sale and retail trade. We learn that he
has entered into engagements with the
country merchants in the interior, and is
supplying them with boots and shoes at
prices lower than they can be bought in
St. Louis, adding freight and incidentals.
Mr.. s. has formerly been engaged in the
manufacturing business, and is well quail
flied for his present vocation. being ena-

has large supply.
