A KANSAS INSTITUTION.

The now wholesale dry goods house
of Briggs, Saunders q Townsend, in
Leayenworth, commenced business
promptly on the first day of March,
according 70 the promise made in their
circular letters. We are Informed by
those who know, that their stock OF
dry goods, notions, clothing and mems
furnishing goods h, without exception,
superior TO anything of the kind ever
brought into this State. The building
occupied by these enterprislng gentle
men Is four-story brick and iron
building, and Is literally packed from
the basement to the roof with their
goods. On the first floor, just in the
front Of the packing and receiving
room, are the muslins, tickings. sheet
ings, table linens, cuttings, bagging,
blankets and goods of that character.
On the second floor, which fronts i'm
mediately en- Delaware street, are the
dry goods and samples of notions.
This department was filed by the good
Judgment and cultivated taste OF Mr..
Horace Saunders, the well known re-
taller OF LeaveRworth, who worked
day and night during the month Of
February in buying the stock in New
York and Philadelphia. He has sup
piled q want long felt in the trade in
this State in the dress goods line, with
a selection OF fancy paterss and designs
OF every conceivable variety of color
and style. He has purchased more
than double the stock of ribbons or
dlnariy kept by job6ers, whilst his
prints and shiFtings ere sight 10 be-

h old. IL is confidently asserted tina
for variety, quantity and style the
stock in this line has never been equal
ell in the State Everything on this
floor is sold ut prices that defy even
Eastern competition.
The third floor is filed with clothing
and furnishing goods, purchased by
Mr.. Briggs. There isn't man in the
State of Kansas who has a moro gener-
al acquaintance than this same Mr..
Briggs. His great hold on the conf
dence of our citizens is his incorrupt-
able integrity; what he says we ali
know to be true-the highest eompli-
ment one man can pay to another is &c
say, al believe you"
Mr.. Briggs has shown his knowledge
OF the necessities of the Kansas trade
by his selection of clothing; the stock
is very full and very complete. The
furnishing goods are Of every style ant
well suited to the trade. On this fiool
are Jorty-JfUe Thousand paper collars o
all styles.
The fourth door Is appropriated &
the sample stock of furnishing good
and notions.
The office Is situated in the rear o
the dry goods department and Is itteC
up In 4 style OF elegance that would
do honor to parIor. Mr.. TOWNSEND
very properly appreciates the economy
OF having q clean, neat and comforta-
BILE place for head quarters for the firm
and their customers.
WewilI say In conclusion of this i'm.
perfect notice, persons who buy Of thil
house are assured of one thing, there
is not an article In the building that Il

Here is another little trouble
about some of the testimony taken
by the late Senatorial investigating
committee. Hon. VIVA. Spriggs,
ex-State Treasurer, is reported to
have testified (and his testimony
has been published in some of the
papers) that F. II. Dreaming, q
prominent. citizen of Doniphan
county, and one of the best and
truest men in the State, told him
(Spriggs) that he (DrenHing) placed
in the hands of j. G. Hebbard, treas
urer of Nemaha county, the sum of
$1,000, to be paid to the two mem
bers of the house of Representa-
tives from Nemaha county, in con-
sideration of their voting for Alex.
Caldwell for United States Senator.
Mr.. Hebbard publishes card, stat
ing that he never knew anything of
any such transaction; tb&t during
the Senatorial struggle, and for q
considerable time previous and
afterwards, he did not see Mr..
Drenuing; in fact. his card is TO the
effect that the statement is entirely
untrue. Mr.. Drennipg, being the
editor of the Wathens Reporter,
also comes out with q Nat. denial of
Sprigss' statement as published.

THE GREAT RELIGIOUS AWAKENING

Our readers are aware of the
great revivals which have recently
taken place I'm Leay enworth and
Lawrence, under the preaching of
the great Evangelist, Rev. E. P.
Hammond. In each OF these cities
society has been shaken 10 its very
foundations, and near q thousand
people In each of them were con-
Verted. Mr.. H. seems to have the
faculty of reaching and bringing to
his meetings that large class of
men and women who seldom attend
on Divine worship, and the large
number OF this class who have been
brought under the influences of re-
Iigion is one Of the astonishing fea-
lures Of his work.
Although he left Lawrence some
weeks ago, the meetings are kept up
there with increased interest, as we
learn from the reports of the Daily
Journal. Two meetings are held
each day, and there is no church in
Lawrence which will hold the
throngs which flock to them. In
this city many of the best men, not
heretofore identified with religion,
take prominent parts In the meet
ings. Many men, well known all
over the State, have been converted,
and are doing good work in bring
ing others to q knowledge of their
lost condition. Mr.. Prentiss, of the
journal, is not only working at Law
renee, but 10 visiting Ottawa and
Topeka to tell the affecting story of
his wonderful conversion. He is
capable of doing q great deal OF
good, and we hope he may continue
In the work.
Mr.. Hapmmond has been at work
at Topeka for the last two or three
weeks. and the awakening there lie
equal to that in Lawrence and Leav-
enwoFth. The Commonwealth re-
ports rs high as fifteen hundred
people present at some of his meet
lings. Saloon keepers, bad women
land gamblers flock to hear him, and
many of them are among the con-
verts. Two meetings are held each
day, and many people are almost
deserting their occupations, 80 great
lie the feeling IN favor of the work
Ottawa is holding meetings with
good, results preparatory TO Mr.
Hammond's visit to that town.
We have never known so deep ar
interest in the cause of religion al
has been, and is being, manifested
in the towns named, and we believe
much good will result from them
In these days, when almost every
body seems to be bound up in thu
strife for wealth and power, it il
: one of the redeeming "signs of thu
times" to witness such breaking up
in such a good cause, as has taker
place in the three leading cities o
our State. May 1t extend until thu
absorbing attention of our public il
directed into other and better chan
neIs than the strife fer money, flint
jewelry, fine houses, show, and tenn
porary power.

OVERTHROW OF ERIE.

Every reader viii rejoice at the
overthrow of the corrupt ring which
has been running the Erie railroad
at the head of which was the motto.
rious Jay Gould. By strategy he Ia:
been outdone, and General Dix il
now president of the company.
The management of Erie has been
very injurious to the politics of the
country as well as to our finances
1t has been the chief reliance Of
Tweed and his ring. The Boss
needed q mammoth railroad to help
his schemes, and he found Erie in
the control of men who kept all its
vast earnings, and were ready to
cooperate with him. They enter.
ed into a partnership of bribery and
robbery. Courts and Legislatures
did their bidding, until the pen, that
mightest OF instruments, aroused
the people, dethroned the "Boss,
and exposed the Erie conspirators
to the ruin which has at last over
taken them. An exhibit shows that
the stock of this corporation, which
was originally 81, 0O0, 900, has, dur
ing the past five years, been watered
to the extent of s6I, 900, 600 S5l, OOO,.
900 Of which II 10 stated, has been
ingeniously covered up by the Ane
art OF bookkeeping.
Fisk and Gould, under the CLASH
fieation act, held the road firmly.
They bribed judges and Legislators,
they eluded officers of the law, they
refused the English stockholders
any control over their property, or
dividends, they took the millions OF
earnings and held them like bold
highwaymen. But when the Re-
publican Legislature assembled in
place ofthe corrupt mob that Tweed
ruled there q year ago, all was
changed. A law to repeal the cIas-
sification bill was introduced and
the impeachment ola corrupt Eric
judge was pending
The directors OF the road, who
had stood by Gould, began to trem-
BILE with fear of disgrace or impris-
onment, as they saw that the Legis-
lature was in earnest. They resolv-
ed to desert Gould. A meeting was
held, new directors chosen, Gen.
John A. DIX was made President,
in place of Gould, and Gen. Geo. B.
Mcclellan was chosen Superintendent.

ATTENTION, VOTERS.


Do not fail to attend the annual
school meeting Thursday 2sth inst.
at p. N. The interest of parents
in their children ought to induce
them to attend. The following are
q few of the reasons which should
insure the attendance of property
holders, who have no children on
the school roll. This meeting de-
termines the amount of school tax
for the ensuing year. On the school
board depends the efficiency of the
school and the prices paid for tut
ton. The State requires you to pay
taxes, on the principle that good
schools increase the value and safe
ty OF properly. But poor schools
do not raise Inc price of land. Can
you not see that you are as much
interested in pecuniary point of
view as parents are? Then attend
the annual meeting and help elect
the three most progressive, intelIi-
gent and faithful men in your dis
trict asa board of trustees. If You
do not attend, you have only your
self to blame If An ignorant board
squanders your money on worthless
teachers. Take warning from that
report our county superintendent
gives, ofa school board paying $3.50
for six months tuition of one and,
one-third pupils; enough for TWEEN
ty times thst number. In . district
where the whole number OF pupils
lie only twenty five or thirty, is it
right for that district to have sum-.
mer term with an average Of ten or
twelve? At $40 per month, the
price OF medium teachers, that is
$3.50 or 81 per pupil per month. In
each district about one-half the tax
payers have no children on the list.
Now parents how can You have the
conscience to ask Your neighbor to
help you pay for Your child, what
you would not pay out of your own
pocket. Again, It is the older pu-i
pills who most need all the school
ing they can get, hence those pa
rents who want q summer term, be-
cause they have two or three, from
five to seven years of age, who have
three to five of ten to twenty years
old, whom they will not send to the
sHmmer term. thinking they cannot
afford TO hire farm hands to fill
the children's places in The fields,
are unjust to those older ones. Pa
rents, be just and keep the schools
open at such times as you can send
all your children, especially the old
er ones. B. S. E. A.
