KANSAS EDUCATIONAL JoURNAL.-We
have received the October number of
the organ of the State Teachers Asso-
citation. 1t is made up of Is pages of
advertisements, including the covers, a
pages of other matter, distributed under
six heads, one of which, entitled "Orig-
inal Contributions" occupies pages of
said periodical. In "a pages, "a small
rivulet of text meanders through a
meadow of margin" The eye is de-
lighted with other blanks and shadows
in the stream, feebly flowing through
these leaves of literature. Is the Kan
sas Educational Journal about to ''dry
up?" We do fear it.
The above is from the Burlington Pa
t1'iOt, and is mean as well as mythical.
We can inform the Patriot that the Ed
UcATIoNAL JOURNAL is not about to "dry
up" When the press of the State have
so unanimously complimented it, we
cannot see why the Patriot slashes it so
terribly 90 The JOURNAL had a hard
struggle for life in its earlier years, but
is now on a. sound footing, financially.
Its printers bills are paid punctually.
The fact that the present editors have
been elected by the State Teachers As
ISOLATION for four years in succession is
proof that their conduct of the JOURNAL
is satisfactory to the educational people
of the State. The JOURNAL never pro-
posed to give more than twenty-four
pages of reading matter. Could the Pa
tri0t editor or any other reasonable per-
son expect more than this for $1per year !?
! The cost Ofissuing the magazine is $1.10
per year for each copy? Is there any
sensible objection to having few extra
pages of advertising to make up the
deficiency in subscriptions, and pay the
editors hundred dollars or so year
for their labor? If there was the least
excuse for this attack of the Patriot we
should have nothing whatever to say,
but when, from every other source, the
JOURNAL is complimented, we are forced
to believe the Patriot merely wanted to
say something severe % and hit upon
the JOURNAL for subject. We don't
say this because we happen to print this
monthly, but because we know it to be
uncalled for and unmerited. We can
assure the Patriot, and others curious
20 know, that the price which we re-
ceive for performing the labor is no in
ducement for us to do the work, and we
would cheerfully part with it at any
time.

EASTERN ELECTIONS.

No very full returns from New Y York.
The State has probably gone Democrat
ic by from 10000 to 10000 for State Off
GERS. Both branches of the Legislature
are believed to be Republican. The
Democrats lost about $1,000 votes since
last year in New York city and Brook
Ign, but made heavy gains in the inter-
ior counties.
The Republicans have carried Mime
sofa by about 5000 majority, including
both branches of the legislature.
Wisconsin goes Republican by 5000
majority.
The excitement in Illinois conferred
on the contest in Chicago, where the
citizens made fight to rid themselves
of the corrupt leeches who have bled
them in the county offices for years.
All the city papers except one united in
supporting the citizens ticket, and it is
supposed to be elected by 5000 MAORI
ty. Thus the people of that city have
shaken off set of thieves who have
been sucking the life blood out of them.

THE CAPITAL.

Speaking of the State House the To-
peka Commonwealth says:
''On Wednesday we paid visit TO
the State House, and were gratified to
find the work so far advanced. The
balustrade, which was part of Bogart
and Babcock's contract is now COM
plete, and gives a finished appearance
TO the fronts of the building, while the
ends, from the absence of porticos, still
Messrs Paul and Hopkins, is without
question, the best job of plastering
ever done in Kansas. The freScoeing,
by Messrs Jeyne and Amino, of Chi
cago, is progressing finely. The Sen
ate Chamber is completed and nearly
all of the rooms and corridors in the
first and second story, and the work
looks remarkably well. The prospective
is correct and the paneling and center
pieces might easily be taken for stucco
work. The steam heating apparatus, by
Mr.. GOodin, of st. Louis, was being
tested while we were there. Arrange
ments are also made for lighting the
building with gas as soon as it can be
obtained, which cannot possibly trans
cend the time when onr next Legislature
shall convene. Messrs Tweedale and
Cook, contractors for the carpenter
work, have large force engaged in
putting up door and window frames,
stairs and inside finish. All this work
is being done in St. Louis. The spec
iticatiOns call for an absolutely perfect
job, and it is impossible to get it in
time outside of a factory having ma
chinery, and an organization of skilled
workmen. The work so far is fully up
to the specifications, and if completed
in the same manner will not be excell-
ed in character and style of finish by
any public building in this country.

NEOsHo VALLEY RAILROAD LANDS.

Prof. j. T. Goodenow, Land Com
missioner of the Southern Branch Pa
cific Rail Road, offers 100000 acres of
land for sale at reasonable prices and on
long time. Those who desire to invest
in land will find this an excellent OPP
portunity. The Junction City Union,
in speaking of these lands, says: "They
lie all along the line of the road and
the Neosho river in Kansas. Nearly
two hundred thousand acres are in Cof-
fey county, and there are more, we be-
lieve, in Woodson. The opening of
these lands to settlement will be a
grand thing for the Neosho country.
Emigrants and colonies seeking farms
will find no better opportunity for pro-
curing what they seek than what is pre-
scented by Prof. Goodenow." The To-
peka Commonwealth, in calling the at
tention OF the public to this large body
of land, says: 'They unquestionably
rank among the best i'll the world.
They are offered at low rates and on
long time. No better opportunity is
offered to the poor man to obtain a
valuable home than what is presented
by Commissioner Goodenow. All of
the land is valuable"

SOUTHERN BRANCH RAILROAD.

Geo. w. Dennison, one of the managers
of the Land-Grant Railway and Trust
Co., of New Y ork, and Hon. r. S. Ste
vcns, General Manager of the U. p. r.
W., 5. B., were in town Wednesday,
The first named company is well known
to our readers as having the contract
for the Southern Branch road. Messrs.
Parsons and Dennison are on a tour of
inspection through the valley in the in
terest of the company they represent.
They express themselves Us satisfied
with the progress of the work upon the
railroad since Mr.. Stevens took charge,
and say that no effort will be spared to
reach burlington before the season
closes.
The company are now putting into
market their lands, which they have eX-
tensively advertised in the east and in
various parts of Europe-and Judge
Parsons says that Kansas will receive an
immigration next season much greater
than ever before known. In this con-
nection we can assure our readers that
this contamination, If reached, will be
largely due TO the active efforts of the
Company, of which Messrs. Parsons and
Dennison are members in circulating
reliable information about Kansas, and
especially the Neosho Valley.
Messrs. Parsons and Dennison went
from here to Burlington and Hum
boldt, whence they will return to New
York.
Mr.. Stevens made arrangements
while here for side tracks and depot
buildings at this place, and gave assn
RANGES TO several of our business men
who called upon him that freights ship
ped from Chicago or Cincinnati on and
after the first of December would reach
here via the Southern Branch Road,
without detention, and that rates OF
freight would be az low as on any road,
old or new, in Kansas.

GOOD ENOUGH.

The people in this part of the State
will be rejoiced to learn that the Atch-

hngame and Emporia and Topeka and
Atchison. We clip from the Common
tceoIM of Wednesday this item of news :
Sol. Holiday, who, in company with
Superintendent Peter and Commission
er Lakin, went to New York a few
weeks ago on business connected with
the n. L. and S. f. r. r., returned to
town yesterday. Peter and Lakin are
still in New York. The Colonel re-
ports that our railroad matters are in
capital shape; that the work on the San
ia Fe road now in progress below Bur-
hngame will continue without Interrupt
ton, and that work between Topeka
and Atchison will soon be commenced"
A letter from Senator Pomeroy to the
Atchison Champion confirms this glo-
rious news.

ANOTHER APPALLING DISASTER.
Over goo Lives Lost.

News reached US this week of another
disaster which was frightful in its de-
tails. The steamer Stonewall was to-
tally destroyed by fire on the night of
October 9th, at Neely's Landing, above
Cape Girardeau, and 125 miles below
st. Louis. The boat caught fire from a
candle which the deck passengers had
near some hay while playing cards.
The steamer was run on a gravel bar,
the captain supposing that the passen-
gers could wade ashore on the bar; but,
unfortunately, at the end of the bar
there was slough, and here it was that
the larger number were drowned. The
boat was not run on the shore but two
feet, and the shallowest point about her
had five or six feet of water. The
boat had SO much hay about her that
she burned like finder, and all efforts to
put her out were unavailing. The
Belle Memphis came up at half past
nine o'clock, three hours after the acct
dent, and rendered all the assistance
possible. Out of two hundred and
fffty-three passengers and crew, only
thirty persons are known to have been
saved.
The only officers of the boat known
to have been saved are Geo. w. Fulton,
chief engineer, Edward Fulkerson,
pilot, and z. p. Watson, carpenter.
The scene on board was heart-rendiHg
in the extreme. The flames spread
with wonderful rapidity, under the
action of strong wind, aud the pas
sengers in wild terror, crowded the
forecastle until they were forced over
board i'll a mass, and drowned each
other in their desperate struggles to
free themselves. Others would Jump
into the water, whirl around in the
strong current for an instant, and then
disappear forever.
Mr.. Fulton jumped overheard and
attempted to swim ashore, but coming
in contact with a number of mules, he
swan to and climbed into the wheel of
The boat. While there the steam pipe
burst, and the wheel revolved three
times. he clinging to it, however, and
was finally taken ashore in skiff.
Chas. Williams, deck hand, says he
tried to smother the fire when first
seen, with blankets, but the wind blew
so strongly that he failed. An effort
was also made to bring the hose to play
upon the fire, but the crowd of frenzied
deck passengers rushed with such ire
sistable force upon the men having it in
charge that they were obliged to give il
up. Williams thinks that not more
than thirty persons were saved, but it is
hoped that many were able to reach the
shore at different points down the river
and that further information will show
that the loss of life has not been so ter
rible and appalling as present advices
indicate
