ANOTHER RAILROAD.

A charter for the Wichita Il South
western Railroad Company, was filed
yesterday in the Office of the secretary
of State. The directors are as follows: 9.
X. Holiday, Il. J. Peter, Topeka; j. Il.
Mead, G. +. Gilbert, j. M. Steel, VIM.
Griffinstein, III. q. Sluss, Sol. II. Kohn,
S. c. Johnston, Geo. Schlichter, G. I'll.
Smith, Wichita; Frank Fulton, Sedg-
wick City; r. p. Muse, Newton. This
road is to begin at some point on the
A. L. j. s. +. r. R., between Peabody
and Newton, and to run to the south
line of the State through Wichita. The
distance is ninety miles. Arrangements
have been perfected to secure the i'm
mediate building of the road to Wichi-
ia. A corps of engineers will COM
mence next week to make the survey.
The distance between the initial point
on the Santa Fe road and Wichita is
about twenty-five miles. The men en-
cheering the enterprise are earnest,
Wide-aWake men, and mean business.
This road will be an important feeder
to the Santa Fe road, the value of winch
is appreciated by the company, and in
directly, they will back the enterprise.
We congratulate the good people OF
Wichita on their assured prospects of a
railroad, under the stimulating inf1u-
ences of which their town will grow
with renewed energy and unprecedented
speed. This road must, in large meas
ure, control the cattle trade of the
southwest.-IODekG Commonwealth.

The Indian claim commission will
meat at Marion Centre Monday and
will be in session there one week.
A man has inst cut q fine crop Of
wheat from the Elk Falls (Howard
county,) town site. So says the Elk
Falls EcaDsiner.
The Lcavenworth Bulletin is an en-
terprising paper, bnt Eureka was not
touched by the hate storm. We are
sorry to spoil its sensation story.
TEFr HousE.-This old and popular
hotel at Topeka, still has the run of
business in that town. AS landlord
our old friend McBfeekin cannot be sur
passed.
Mrs. Mary Wattles and Mrs. Helen
Comb, have entered into partnership
for the practice of law in Leavenworth.
This is the first female attempt at law
in Kansas.
The s1nstituten of the ministers of
Emporia district of the Kansas Confer
ence will be held at Cottonwood Falls,
on the Sth of August. The new church
at that place is expected to be occupied
by that time.
The Seneca Courier, the best paper
in Northern Kansas, has the following
Nine miles south of this place, j. F.
Brock has 81 acres of wheat, VIM.
Myers 40 acres, John and Fred Kruger
60 acres, and John III. Dennis Is acres.
These farms all join each other, and we
understand their wheat will average %
bushels to the acre. 1t is said to be
looking very fine, and the parties intend
to commence harvesting early next
week.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. June 24.-Wheat
and corn prospects according to the
Departmental agriculture are not flatter-
ing for the country generally. Acreage
appears to have been somewhat increas-
ed, in and like proportion owing to the
variety of causes the chief of which is
a dry spring in most parts of the coun-
try. The largest increase in acreage of
wheat is reported from Kansas, where
it is thirty per cent greater than last
year. A report on wheat is not speci- |
ally discouraging except as failing to
show increase in product over other |
years as might be expected.
BAHGoR.-Deputy surveyor Charles |
Brown, informs US he has just finished |
laying off the new town of Bangor, for |
the great Welsh colony, twelve miles |
southwest of Burlington. The town |
plat embraces a tract of one hundred |
acres, beautifully located in the midst |!
of fine tract of rich farming country. |
Quite number of Welsh families are !
already on the ground, and the agent |
of this colony will proceed forthwith to |
erect business Office, and establish |
other needed facilities for the develop |
ment of the colony. Success to these
hardy foreigners.-Barltng patriot. |

FROM SUMNER CITY.

ED. NEWS: I have just returned
from prospecting tour through South
ern Kansas.
In company with DR.. j. B. Mitchell,
of Eldorado, Noble Jewett of Ohio,
and "Jovial Abe" of Illinois, with camp
equipage and eatables, we started from
Eldorado, June 8, when that quiet viii
lsge was all aglow with joy and pros
perity, with all the surroundings be-
speaking for tia long life of beauty and
loveliness; with nothing foretelling that
within one short week her beauty would
be departed; that her streets and ave-
nues would not be thronged with her
former commercial enterprise, bat with
wreck, ruin and desolation, and families
made homeless; with sorrow, pain and
death in many household-but such is
the sad story to tell of that Inflated but
pleasant village.
Our prospecting tour lay through
western Butler, Sedgwick and Sumner
counties, and we must say that we were
agreeably surprised in finding so fine a
body of land as there is in Sedgwick
and Sumner counties, but we found the
greater part of the best lands of Sedg-
wick county already taken up, and
| many fields of waving grain showing
that the enterprising farmers had not
been idle. Wichita, the metropolis of
Sedgwick, is beautiful, enterprising
town, situated ON the Arkansas river.
And judging from its location and the
spirit of the people, we are led to be-
lieve that at some future day, not far
distant, it will be ranked among the
first towns of the state.
Directly south of Sedgwick is Sum-
ner county. This is one of the new
counties of Kansas. Last Christmas
twenty souls constituted the population
of the county. In April the census was
taken, when it was found to have in
creased to six hundred. Then the sur
vey was just being made, which has
been completed. The immigration has
been 30 strong that there is at present
not less than three thousand inhabitants
But you ask, Why such rush for Sum.
ner? The answer is very easy. 1t il
because the good lands north and easi
have principally been taken, and the
people are just learning that Sumner ii
one of the best counties in the State
and that she is still holding thousand
of acres of those choice lands for thu
: lpre-emptor. 1t iswell adapted both fol
farming aud gra4ing, is as well Wateret
! and timbered as Che majority of the bes
} counties in Kansas, and believe it ha
: less broken land than any county il
: kansas.
There are also . number of new
: towns Just starting in the county tina
; have fine prospects before them. Sum
ner City, the leading town in the coun
: ty, is sitnated about in the center of tn
: county. and is now in very promising
Q condition. A number of business an,
8 dwelling houses have already bee
!, built, notwithstanding the town organ
: ization is only about two months ole
g and we see there what we seldom see
r. these new western towns, and that is,
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1871-06-30

decent little hotel, which will be opened
in n few days under the management o.
Converse & Fee, couple of gentlemen
who 'fknow how to keep hotel" And
we learn also that a printing press viii
be there in few days, and g paper al
once started. So we see nothing tc
stop the town from going rapidly for
ward. Consequently there is q good
opening for business men, and cattle
men can find no better grazing county
in the state, and as the Texas cattle trail
runs directly through the county, they
have every opportunity for buying di-
rectly of Texas men.
There is now regular stage route
opened up direct from Newton, a sta
ton on the a. T. s. S. F. R. r., to Sum-
ner City, distance of fifty miles.
We learn that on the 4th of July there
is to be Grand Barbecue of Buffalo,
in Sumner City, with speeches, Indian
War Dance, hosting for the first time
in Summertime American Flag, firing of
guns, &c. All are invited to attend.

GERMAN SOCIALISTS SANCTION FRENCH
COMMUNICATIONS Socialists do not
shrink from applauding the deeds that
have been done in Paris. Her Bebel,
who is one of the four Socialists me m
bers of the German Reichstag, assured
his fellow Legislators that the aim OF
the Paris Commune was neither impos-
sible nor pernicious. He said:
"NeVer mind If the insurrection
is suppressed; what is doing now at the
French capital is only an outpost skirm-
ish, which will be followed mp some
day by a great European battle. War
TO the palaces; peace to the cottages
and death to luxurious idleness, is and
ever will be the watchwOrd of the pro.
letariate in all parts of the world"
Bismark did not consider the above
worthy of a reply.

In the Superior Court in Boston on
Friday last a case of interest to the
travelling public was decided. A Mr..
Coleman of Boston ATTEMPTED to ride
from New York to New Haven on a
coupon ticket, which was rejected by
the conductor on the ground that, al
though it was good from New Haven
to New York, it did not pass the hold
er over the road in train going in an
opposite direction. Mr.. Coleman in
sisted that the company was compelled
to receive the ticket, as it represented
money paid for passage between those
points, and was put of the train by
force, receiving such injury as to sfiect
his health. He sued, the New Yori
and New Haven Railroad Company
and recovered. The Railroad COmpa-
ny obtained a new trial and was heater
again. On exceptions to the ruling o
the Judge the defendants obtained ;
third trial. which terminated in q yer
dict for Mr.. Coleman for $500 DANA
ges.

to depart. The Sedalia Times well ex-
presses thele sentiments in the follow
ing:
We desire to ask all " accept the stu

the question: What would be the con-
ditiOn of this country to-day, had Geo.
Washington and the other patriots Of
the Revolution accepted the situation

were quite as many ana as cogent rea-
SONS to cause them to q acceps the situ-

more tolerable than is that of the peo-
Pile of the present day. Had the fathers
sufficient reasons to refuse to accept

The mercantile importance of little
things is shown very clearly by the
present condition of the shoe button
trade. These buttons are made of pa
pier mache, by single firm in Paris.
Formerly used for trousers pockets,
they were sold in large quantities to
tailors. The style changed, and tailors
gladly sold the buttons for seventy
cents per gross. The war broke out
and the price rapidly rose 81 and S1.25
gross. Tailors who still had stock
on their shelves, buried beneath the
accumulated dust of months, fastened
with ecstacy to sell them and secure the
profits. Then they rose to $1.75 and
50. a gross, and the same tailors III,
grooming at their folly. The buttons
now sell for S2.75 a gross, and are hard
ly anywhere to be bought. On this
small article alone, many fortune hat
been made.

The average wheat crop of California
during the past five years has been II, :
100000 bushels, or 100000 sacks of 100
pounds weight. The amount exported
in 1870 was 800, 900 sacks, and during
the first few months of this year $500,
GOO sacks. IL is estimated that the area
planted this year is sufficient, if the
usual quantity of rain falls and the
weather proves favorable, to yield g.
100000 sacks. The annual consumption
aggregates about 100000 sacks.
