A few more of those interesting east
ern "greenies" who come to Kansas ex-
pecting to get first-class land adjoining
some town of 1000 or 5000 Inhabitants
ut SIPS per acre, have been doing
this section of the State lately. They
went away "cussing" Kansas, of course.
The friends of Kansas are always glad
to see them get out of the country.

For downright specimen of impu-
dence, commend us to the lawrence
Daily Tribune. 1t says Clarke has sew
enty votes among the members of the
Legislature elect, for Senator. 1t will
be remembered that this same paper
claimed from forty to fifty majority for
the same individual at the late State
Convention. Being so badly mistaken
then, can its word be relied on now !?
Not much. 1t cares nothing for its rep
utation for reliability. 1t is without
decency in any respect. 1t cannot find
over thirty votes for Clarke to save it.
No one knows this better than the Tri-
bwne, and hence we are led to wonder
what it expects to gain by wholesale
Misrepresentation. We dare it to print
. list of the seventy names of members
claimed for Sid. Prove your assertion,
or stop your blowing.

beautiful city, rapidly growing into
prominent importance. It's citizens are
of that enterprising turn so invaluable

of morals are also characteristic quail
ties. Yet this large, beautiful town and

desire-a natural desire-to give them
decent and respectable burial. This
last duty which one can perform for a
faithful friend, fond parent, beloved
child, loving sister or brother, one
naturally desires to discharge with the
utmost decency and respect. But when
one loses q friend in Emporia, he must
take that friend to his last resting place

An important circular has been issu-
ed tending to the more speedy collec-
ton of the accounts of the outgoing
revenue collectors. Heretofore the ac-
counts of such outgoing collectors
could not be settled until taxes over
which they had receipted, which re-
manned in their hands upon leaving Of
flee, should have been accounted for
either by cash collections or claims for
abatement. Such claims and such col
lectiOns had first to be made by the sue
cessor in office, and consequently the
settlement of collectors accounts de-
pended almost entirely upon such sue
cessor. This plan has greatly retarded
prompt settlements, and the new regu-
lations provide that in the event of out
going collectors producing evidence OF
due diligence in attempting to collect
all taxes remaining in their hands, the
same will be credited to his account
and charged to the new official. The
circular gives particular instructions in
regard to the mannerin which the trans
fer of office shall be made.-RecOrd.

Emporia should have a hearse. We
shonld not allow another fortnight TO
pass away without attending to this
duty-for it is duty. We owe it to
common decency. We venture the as
sertion that there is not another town
in the State whose population approx
mates our own, but that is provided
with a carriage for their dead. It is a
shocking sight to strangers who come
here and witness a funeral procession
following corpse to the grave borne
in a large two-horse wagon.
A hearse would, it seems US, be pay
ing investment. If some one of our
furniture men were to take this matter
in hand, we dare say he would find it
rather profitable than otherwise. If at
any time in a mans life he feels an in
clination to be liberal, it is when he has
lost some dear friend. Then it is, if
ever, that he is anxious to do what lies
in his power to express his devotion
and love and we believe there would
scarcely death occur but that the hearse
would be engaged. We know it pays
in Eastern towns, and do not see why
it should not here. There has been
something said about hearse being
purchased by a stock company. This
is good idea. Let us at all events do
something about the matter Immediately

The highest point attained by the thermometer
during the month of August, 1870 was 9i'5
degrees, on the 9th. This, it will be seen, was
exceeded in the corresponding month of 1869,
1864, and 1862, the warmest days of the four
years, with their maximum temperature, having
been the following
August 0, 1870 945 deg. August II, 1864 sc deg.
a. 1869 95'5 a. :" 0, 1852 81. sc a.
But in 1862 and 1869 the mean temperature OF
the month was less by more than two degrees.
The mean of August 1868 1916 degrees-was
not only the highest during the period of fifteen
years detailed above, but the highest on record
since the year 1890. The month opened exceed
iDgly warm, and until the 25th the thermometer
at the Pennsylvania Hospital ranged between S5
degrees and 81 3 degrees, excepting on the 18th
and 18th, when it did not go above rs and 81
degrees respectively. From the 1st to the 18th
inclusive the maximum ranged between 81 and
94'5 degrees; and from the goth to the 25th be-
tween 80 and 81 degrees. After the 25th it did
not rise above IS degrees, the maximum ranging
between that and SO degrees. On eleven different
days during the month it scared among
the ninetes, and came within one degree of
that sweltertDg height on several other days.
The mean of August, 1864, was 79 40 degrees,
a mere fraction below that of the preceding
August. The warm spell OF this month was
almost equal to that of August, 1868. Starting
out with maximum of 95'5 degrees, on one day
only previous to the 18th did it fail to 60 above
85 degrees, on the 4th, when the maximum was
but so 5 degrees; and on nine different days it
rose to or above 80 degrees
In August, 1869, the mean temperature OF
which month was 76'30 degrees, the thermometer
rose above so degrees on two occasions only,
as shown above, but on one of these, the 2lst,
it went up to 95 degrees, or one degree higher
than the highest point attained last month.
The month just closed with mean tempera-
ture of 1877 degrees, came within SO degrees of
the maximum OF August, 1868, and was, there
fore, one of the warmest on record, taken as a
whole. From the lst to the 18th, "a degrees
and over were attained, aud on six other days
an equal height was reached; while on eleven
different days the unenviable nineties were
reached. But on the 25th, when 90 degrees
were marked, the ''heated term" came essen
TALLY to close.
Taking the temperature of the three summer
months together, we find an average mean
temperature of 1892 degrees which is the
highest on record in this locality since 1890. In
the following table are shown the comparisons
OF the mean temperature of the three months,
singly and together, with previous years.

During June the thermometer at the Pennsyl-
vania Hospital rose above 90 degrees on nine
different days, during July on thirteen different
days, and during August on eleven different
days-a total of thirty-three days, or more than
one-third of the entire summer season.
As everybody knows, there is considerable
difference in the standing of the thermometer at
different points in the city at the same time. All
the above data referring to dates subsequent to
1895 are derived from the extensive and valuable
meteorological records of the Pennsylvania Hos
pital, the location of which is such as to render
the temperature there fair test of the heart of
the city. But in some places the thermometer
has at times gone up to or above 100 degrees,
even in the shade.
In conclusion, we give the quantity of rain
which fell in the city during three summer
months, compared with the fall of previous
years, as follows

The New Orleans Republican of the 2sth ultmo
says:-
Last Friday evening a patrolman In the Sixth
District late City of Jonerson discovered haggar-
looking young woman walking the street, in some
way burdened or lame. The officer investigated the
poor womans condition. as at every step she took
he heard the clanking sound of iron chains. Being
requested TO show her feet the horrible fact was
vealed that both her ankles were fettered with
chains fastened with handcuffs as il to prevent her
stepping more than an inch at one time.
She is not more than twenty or twenty-five years
old, and is OF foreign birth. At first the poor thing
was unable or unwilling to reveal how she came in
such singular predicament and has not given her
name further than Joan or Johannah. Yesterday
Captain Woodruff took her to his residence aud Re-
corder Campbell provided some proper garments TO
clOhe her nakedness She finally stated her parents
reside in the Third district and that they had placed
her in an asylum in the Sixth district. Further
than this could not be elected from her. While
around the Captains house she assisted in the daily
duties quite cheerfully.
Here is an unwrtten history, which most likely
contains sad amount OF baTbarity, but Recorder
Campbell intends to ferret out all the particulars,
and II possible, ascertain by what right power a
citizen Is fettered and chained. He caused the irons
TO be cut or It is incumbent on him to learn every
particular in this and doubtless he will pursue
the barbarous perpetrators letthem be who or what
they will.
