Usage, NEOSHO & WALNUT VALLEY
RAILROAD

We notice that this enterprise is at
tracing the attention of railroad men
all over the country. The possession of
the franchises on this route is eagerly
sought for by several railroad builders,
and also by several Shylocks and noun
tebanks who only wish to benefit them
selves, but who will never build, or
cause to be built, mile of road.
The course adopted is evidently a
wise one that is, for the local company
to control the franchises, until suitable
parties can be found to build the road.
The great value of this road to the
State may be seen at once, by consider
ing that from its location it cannot fail
of becoming great trunk road. Run
ming due west from Ottawa, following
the rich valley of the Usage, it strikes
EmpOria, the acknowledged gateway of
the great Southwest, to which is tribu-
tary the whole of the Cottonwood and
upper Neosho vallies. Thus far the
line is due west from st. Louis. From
this point the line bears southwest
through the entire length of the WAL
nut valley, which within the past two
years has become one of the most dense
ly populated sections of the State.
This portion of the route secures the
trade of at least three populous coun-
ties, now totally unprovided with rail-
road facilities. Arriving at the south
line of the State, it will command fair
share of the cattle trade, and all of the
government freight to the southwes-
tern military forts and Indian agencies.
AT this point the present enterprise
stops. But far-seeing, thoughtful men
have spied out the land far beyond, and
find this the best and shortest route to
the great salt district which is destined
to supply three-fourths of this continent
with that indispensable article. They al
30 find that in the direct line to Santa Fe
there lies rich tract of country forty
miles wide and one hundred and sixty
miles long, watered by the North Cana
dian and Cimerron rivers, which is pub
lie land, and through the entire length
of which very valuable land grant
may be obtained.
Arriving at Santa Fe, the whole traf-
fic of that vast territory is secured, and
the upper Rio Grande made tributary
to road traversing the best portion OF
our own State. At or near Santa Fe
the connection will undoubtedly be
made with the great Southern Pacific
road, whose great western points are
Arizona City, on the Colorado, and San
Diego, on the Pacific. Thus may Kan
sas derive the full benefit of another
route to the Pacific. That this is nc
chimerical scheme is proved by the fact
that ut least TWO of our railroad kings
are, at the present time, looking with
eager eyes III that direction, and are
gathering quietly but surely all the in
formation possible on the subject, and
laying their plans to reach the great
Southwest by the identical route we
have indicated.
Let the people along the route i'll this
State but do their duty, and do it now
and the immediate future will fulfill the
hopes of the most sanguine friends o.
the enterprise.

THE BOND PROPOSITION.

The proposition now before the peo-
pie of Lyon county is simply this ::
The county owns 100000 of full paid
stock IN two railroads-$20O,O 600 in the
NJ, X. & T. road, and 100000 in the A.,
T. & s. Fe road. The law requires that
before this stock can be sold for any
purpose whatever a vote of the people
must be had. We want another railroad
through the county from east to west.
Instead of voting more bonds, it is pro-
posed to give this 100000 of stock to
secure it. 1t ia stipulated that only
$50, 900 of the money raised from the
sale of the stock can be paid to induce
the building of the new road.
So far as we are able TO see, we
think it would be a good investment for
the county to dispose of this stock, if
by so doing they can get another road
through the county. The Holden road
would perhaps be of more benefit to us
than either or both the other roads.
Were it constructed freights and fares
would at once be wonderfully reduced ;
the northeast section of the county
would be settled; we should have
brought within our reach inexhaustible
coal mines manufactures would be es-
tablished, and hundreds of thousands OF
dollars would be added to our tax roll.
From what light we have on the snb-
ject, we most earnestly urge our people
to vote for the proposition TO sell the
stock

HO: FOR KANSAS.

We copy the following from the
Lexington, n.y., O6SerroF s. Reporter.
Between two and three thousand acres
of land on the Neosho colony of Bach
eller s. Jones of this city have been
selected for these parties;
We dropped in the other day over
the storeroom of Mr.. 4. NJ. Bell, upon
a goodly company of stalwart, hardy
looking young men, earnestly consider
ing the propriety of banding themselves
together as a colony for Kansas. Be-
fore separating, we understand that
iowery-clad inviting valley ofth Ne
osho, there, to permanently settle.
With strong young arms and firm will
to accomplish their aim, none can doubt
of their success. There is not, per-
haps, in the whole far west, more Sc
ductive, promising inducements held
out for emigration than are presented
in the rich, fertile and beautiful locality
they have selected. This plan is prac-
teal and quite as feasible as could well
be conceived of.
Their company is to consist of at
least twenty bona 1ide, permanent set
tiers, which will prove the nucleus of
what may hereafter be a prosperous
city, surrounded by productive land,
with vast railroad facilities for trans
portation, sc. TO have heard, as we
did, the glowing accounts given of the
country by reliable, trustworthy gen.
tlemen, who are just from there, and
whose fortunes are to be cast with the
company, none could wonder that q
spirit of enthusiasm has taken hold OF
large number of our young men, in
regard to Kansas emigration.
| Those who had not the pleasure OF
attending the organization of this new
company, by calling upon Mr.. Il. NJ
Bell can learn all they desire in regard
| to it

So far as we are concerned, the mott

sary. We never pay any attention to
the propositions of irresponsible ad-
vertising agents, and have never been
"taken in" A paper that will publish
the advertisements sent them by ire

want work done at half price, and then
want to charge % per cent. for their

never had any transactions. There are
a few responsible agencies, but

nothing left worth bothering with them

The Chicago Tribune laments the de-
cadence of the grain trade OF that city.
Not that the absolute quantity of grain
handled by Chicago dimishes, but that
the trade does not increase with the
growth aud product of the Northwest
crn grain fields. The rivals of Chicago
divide that territory and its products
with their former undisputcd mistress.
Milwaukee received as much wheat
last year as Chicago. Toledo has drawn
largely on the corn of Southern and
Southwestern Illinois, as we'll as the
winter wheat of Indiana and Western
Ohio. st Louis has succeeded in es-
tablishing q grain center on the Mis-
sissippi river, in active and equal rival
ry with the great mart at the head OF
Lake Michigan; and Chicago is obliged
TO content herself with n division OF
the spoils. ...

yield. In France, notwithstanding the
difficulties OccasiOned by the late war,
agricultural operations have not been,
except in particular localities, greatly
interfered with. The wheat crop has
suffered from unfavOrable weather ear
ly in the season, and will be short but
all other crops promise beautifully. In
Germany the crops arc excellent, and
promise large yield. In Great Brit
ain the prospects are also very favora-
BILE. Throughout the United States the
reports are favorable, excepting those
relating to spring wheat, which has fail
ed extensively in many western dis
tricts. Corn has increased in acreage
and looks well. Winter wheat thrashes
out well, and a yield above the average
is expected. There will be good yield
of oats, while cotton will, in spite OF
misfortunes, turn out an average crop.

DEMOCRATIC HISTORY.

The Grand Army Journal Of August
9th has a long story about the rebel
guerilla, Quantrell, purporting to de-
scribe his latest death. 1t matters lit
tie whether he be dead or not, but we
extract a portion of the article in
which "Prof. Grenshaw, of Missouri"
is reported to give the following &C
count of Quantrell's reasons for de-
stroying Lawrence:
''During scouting expedition of the Home
Guards. Of Lawrence, they were insulted by
two young and respectable ladies. The
ladies were arrested, taken 10 Lawrence, and
confined in an old, jlilapidated brick building,
that was expected to fall daily. Their friends
begg ed the authorities TO transfer the ladies
TO 4 building of more safety, but the authori-
ties failed to heed the cntreaty. The result
was the building fell, killing the pr isoners.
They each had brother in Quantrelfs band.
The brothers swore TO avenge their sisters
deaths by killing the belle Of Lawrence. The
consequences OF their fearful oaths are famll-
lar to ALL"
"Prof. Crenshaw, of Missouri" had
better not undertake to write any more
history. The facts in regard to the Ia
dies mentioned are these: There were
three ladies, living south of Kansas
rendezvous for Quantrellis gang, and
guerillas generally. A detachment of
the 11th Kansas Volunteers, was accor-
dinghy sent to arrest them, TO break up
the rendezvous. They were arrested,
taken to Kansas City-not Lawrence
and placed in the guard house, which
was one of row of brick buildings.
Soon after it fell, killing one of the
ladies. One of the soldiers on guard
was in the same room at the time,
and other soldiers were in the building,
40 its fall was quite unexpected. After
wards, the other two ladies were re-
leased. They were kindly treated
during their imprisonment, and Law
renee, or Lawrence citizens, were in no
way responsible for what unfortunately
befell the one who was killed. Guam
trell and his gang sacked Lawrence
without proYocstion, and to distort
history, a. the above extract attempts TO
