This is the last issue of The News Of its pres
ent size. Before another paper is printed shall
add another column to each page, and length
en- the columns about two and half inches,
maxim g. altogether at least six eoluns addition
tiOnal of the present size Of the paper. We
shall appear in our enlarged form next week if
possible. Our advertisements must be reset,
which will be a considerable job, and unless we
can enlist some outside help it will be impossi-
BILE to issue next week. If we can get extra help
we may get out. We will say to our readers. TIC
make ourselves safe, that if they get no paper
next week they need not be disappointed.
We have undertaken this enlargement at con
siderable risk It will add to Cur weekly cost
and we hope the people of this section of Kan
will help us by subscribing for the paper.
We need several hundred more subscribers. The
people have done well by the paper. 1t has a
larger circulation than any paper in Southern
Kansas but we can count scores of men yet VIII O
do not and who ought to take it. Every man
who ought to take his county paper. Of
course we cannot promise that the PAPER will
suit all or even maj GRITTY in all respec's. NJ
man could print paper that would suit every
body. It will do the very best it can for tn e in
printed, and for tn d whole of Southwestern Kan

cannot afford to be without it. 1t ia the chan
Ael through which ali the official acts of the
county are published. Ali other considerations
aside. those who take in teresC in the affairs of
the county will receive more than the two dol
lars yer year which it costs them, in information
concerning home matters.
The paper will devote some sple, to political
matters, and will take the radical Republican
side of all questions. 1t will not be cont roll ed
by any clique or person, other than the editor
1t will advocate pr Inciples, irrespective of men,

RIeHr.-The Conservative very judic-
iously remarks that if Leavenworth ci ty
wishes to escape scenes of violence and
bloodshed, let the numerous dram shops
now licensed to peddle out intoxicating
drinks be closed. This is "hitting the nail
on the head" While every other or every
third door is rum hole, no city can enjoy
good order, peace and quiet. One grog-
gerry will cause more disturbance in a com
munitY than will grow out of all lawful bus
mess combined. Is it not strange that
with such facts before them people will yet
uphold dramshops and drinking 1t is one
of the strange anomalies in society, and is
inexplicable on any principles except that of
depravity-of desire on the part Of men
to do such crimes as please their fancy or
fill their purse, while they punish others in
