CHEROKEE Station, Crawford County,

business houses there, hotel, station and

Two towns in Southern Kansas, contest
ing over the county scat, accuse each other
Of ''fraud." Really, we had hoped this
word would never he used in our State. AT.
ter fourteen years of peaceful and harmoni-
oris existence it is to I've regretted that any
citizen will, at this late day, accuse neigh
Dor OF SO scrious crime as fraud. The in
PRODUCTION of this word into Kansas will
cause a general feeling of sadness.
THE Lawrence Tribune and a paper in
Southern Kansas are alternately Boosting
over cabbage heads raised in their respective
localities. As the largest yet seen by either
party is miserable little subtcrfugc weigh
ing only twenty-six pounds; it is not worth
while for first class exhibitors to meddle
When we find foemen worthy Of our steel
We shall present the dimensions Of that
cabbage leaf on the Levee now used rs 4 tar
pauiin to cover up freight. We trust our
contemporaries will Cease Ia disgust the intelli-
gent reader by such stupid attempts to palm
of peas for c;,bhases.
In its rerort Of the Northern District Fair
the Atchison Champion and Ifess says:
Mrs. r. J. Campbell, Of Leavenworth,
cxcellcd She had on exhibition 4 large
collection "f preserved fruits, Jelly, cake;
etc, and received nine first premiums. This
is a larger number Of premiums than was
taken by any other exhibitor in this Depart
meni Mrs. Campbell also took larger
number "f premiums than any one exlIbi-
ting preserved fruits, six, at the lIcaven-
worth FAIR.
Mrs. Campbell took large number Of
premiums in the same line at the Icaven-
worth Fair, and is evidently the champion
If the State in culinary skill. ~
COl. Jrnaison's Colt.
OF Col. Jennison's colt, "Ieinster,"
which won the great two mile race at st. |
Joseph on "Wednesday, the Hc1uid says:
The time made in this heat does not COM
pare with former runs by Revolution, and is |
not extraordinary for either Of the horses. |
The circumstances, however, indicate that, |
although Col. Jennison's colt was pressed 10
a great deal uf unnecessary exertiOn in the |
run, he WIS altogether cut of his element in
that lot Of s,.rk, and it will he difficult e.
make M another race for Ieinster. There
was u" iockeying in that race, evidently, |
The rider must have seen that he was too
far ahead Of his opponents TO make the
sI,eed Of his horse profitable to his owner,
and it was concluded he was unable to re- |
strain him. The movement Of leinster Is |
elegant, and he is Young enough to say Of
him that he is destined Ia the first giories of
the Western turf Col. Jcnnison and the |
State Of Kansas may well he proud of him.
