The Texas fever lie lad about Fort

From the Chase County Leader
we take the following items:
The high rates over the A. T. s.
s. f. road compel stockraisers in
this county to drive to Emporia and
ship from there over the n. X. u
T. During the past three weeks
twenty-eight carloads of cattle
were sent to market via that route.
The railroad company is blowing
Q fire guard on each aide of their
road through this county.
This is from the Lawrence Jour-
nal: "Col. E. Sells, who once fig
ured in Douglas county politics, re-
moved to Utah last, spring and now
we hear that Good old 'Lijah' has
struck q rich lead in one of the val
liable mines of Colorado"
GOODBYE LIZA JANE.-A Kansas
City brakeman ''got away" with the
"plump, viVacious daughter" of
well to do LeayenWorth mechanic
the other day. The 'Fold man" did
not want the brakeman around the
house, and of course the gal sneak
elk of with him, and at last accounts
the family were tearing their hair,
wringing their hands and exclaim-
ing eliza is gone Liza is gone"
We tender cur sympathies to the
disconsolate father, and advise him
Immediately to send for Liza and
the brakeman and kill the fatted
calf. If he is not the fortunate
possessor of q calf a chicken potpie
will probably please the young
folks.
The Fort Scott Monitor is jubi-
liant over the prospect OF having 8

of the city and the whole country
with all the coarser kinds of paper.
A letter to the Commonwealth
