hotels appear 10 be doing bri-k business.
WE hear from many directions that wheat
that was sown broadcast is generally winter
killed. while that pu. in By drill looks finely.
All. The men that can be obtained will be
put al work On the Kansas Central Rosd as
soon as spring fairly opens and the weather
becomes settled.
HE proprietors Of the carpe; factory are
proposing to add such machinery to their
establishment as will enable them to manu-
faciure yarn, instead o; getting j; from the
Eat.
TIE city is filled with strangers, from the
East, who are at this early period Of the
opening sea.on, on their way to the Wet,
looking for new and more lucrative business
locations.
MRs. CATHERINE BUTLER, mother OF
Rev. Father Butler, of this city, died at
Dublin, ireland, Oh the S0.h ult. Father
Butler will receive the sympathy of our citi-
zers, irrespective OF creed, in his sad attic
ton.
THE river rose about two feet Sunday
night, bu; commenced falling again yesier-
day afternoon, and had receded some six
inches by dark. II viii probably soon be
coming up again, IS the Platte is reported
rising rapidly.
Ok d! that duel between three journalist,
is among the possibilities Of the present week.
Kansas Oily Bulletin.
Is il 10 be triangular duel, like Midshir-
man Easy's2 II so, We hope none of the
psrtie. will he wounded as one Of those
'Iuiidies' il said 10 have been.
THE general impression prevails tina, the
action Of the las: Republican State Conyen-
Snoidy, was not member. 1t is proposed
10 have new Convention, but If they 90,
perhaps Snoddy will again forge credentials
to il.
GEORGE JOHNSON, who was arrested for
passing counterfeit money, was yesterday
examined before U. s. Commissioner Brit
ton and bound over TO appear at the next
term ofthe L. s. District Court, in the sum
of 81 900, in default Of furnishing which he
was committed to Jail.
THE Lawrence papers are giving nearly
the whole Of their local columns to reports
Of Mr.. Hammond's meetings. We Judge
from this that nothing else is going on in
that city. There must have been great
deal of wickedness in Lawrence, for there
certainly seems TO be almost unlimited re-
pentanoe.
THE following cheerful advertisement ap-
pears in Des Moines iowa paper. They
must make a pretty festive matter of a
funeral up there:
Have you heard it? Good news? A
hesdstone for five dollars, or Z monument
for FIVE thousand dollars; or anything in the
line Of Marble work at bottom prices. AT the
Davis Marble Works.
THE river is now clear at this point, and
passengers for the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific Railroad leave the levee al O'Clock
4. m. and at , o'clock p. N. per steamer
Ella. Travel through this city is largely
increased since this route was opened. A
gentleman who has just arrived from New
York informs us that the fastest time he
made was between Ashland and Leaven-
worth, on the Southwestern.
An Item from TOnSanONie.
The Touring mill at Tonganoxie has been |
sold by Mr.. Kammerling, TO Messrs. f. F.
Davis and A. c. Williams, who Immediately |
enter upon possession with sufficient facilities
10 place the establishment on 4 par with the |
best in this part of the country. Both are
among the most enterprising citizens of the
county, and by taking hold OF this piece Of
property, have still further increased their
means for assisting in the development Of
on most fertile resources.
FIRE lm AichisOn.
Mr. Reisners stable, on Second street, |
Atchison, was burned down on Monday |
night, and the Champion says:
But the saddest part is TO relate. Shortly |
after the fire had spent its force Deputy Mar
shall John ID. Seeplar discovered in the ru-
ms of the stable the charred remains of
human being. They were examined and
properly taken care OF. 1t is supposed they
are those of man named VIM. +. Candle,
formerly mu-ic-teacher at Troy and Doni-
phan. and well known there. 1t is said he
was about the stable before the fire broke
cut. and he has been missing since.

last in the matter of population. The pre-
vious course OF this cotemporary, in placing
an unjustly low estimate upon the number Of
people in Leavenworth, renders the honor
able course now taken by that journal adj
ditionally surprising. Last Sunday the
Times published TIE following dispatch.
