from VermIllion county, Illinois, last

A WORD TO TRAvELERs!-Weh have
q word to say in favor of the Missouri
Pacific railroad. It was the "pioneer''
line Westward and is the s'old reliable''
route to st. Louis. With the improve
ments which have been made during
the past year, we believe that the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad has the best
track and the finest and safest equip
ment of any line west of the Mississ-
ippi. 1t is the only line which runs
three daily express trains of fine
coaches and Pullman sleepers, equip
ped with the Miller platform and the
patent air brake, from leading points
in the West, through Kansas City, Sc
dalia and Jefferson City to st. Louis
without change, connecting at st.
Louis with eleven different through
routes to points North, East and South.
Particular information, with maps,
time tables, &C., may be had at the
various Through ticket" railroad sta
tions in the West, or upon personal or
written application to G. II. Baxter,
Western Passenger Agent, Kansas

Passenger Agent, st. Louis, Mo.

Too Observation-Disclosures county, in
this State, has town named Eskridge,
after our distinguished fellow citizen,
Governor Eskridge. At the town our
old friend Colonel Ephriham II. Sam
ford publishes paper twice as big as
the New York Tribune. Aside fro m
its devotion to various amendments to
the national constitution, it is illus
trated by railroad map of the coun-
ty, thirty-seven of which roads center
at Eskridge. Tho other day one of
our real estate agents had q call from
an Illinois gentleman, who wished to
purchase a large stock farm In Wa
baunsee county. The agent expatiat-
ed on the qualities of the soil, etc., and
wound up by showing him Colonel
Ephriham's map. The result was dis
astrOus. Upon an examination of the
map it was found the county was so
cut up by railroads that there was not
even q forty acre tract left for grazing
purposes. The Illinois man could not
think of taking his herds there to be
cut to pieces by snorting locomotives.
With a sad heart he turned away from
the busy scene presented by the map,
and betook himself to Butler county,
where the steam whistle disturbs not
the solitude of the cattle raisers, and
where the useful map publisher hath
not penetrated. This is matter
which should meet the attention it de-
maids at the lands of the next Legis-
iature Next we know the State capt.
tai VIII Be rrfon freight train and
moved down to Eskridge, and that
city will see Topeka on city bonds and
go her a couple of millions better.
We appeal to Colonel Ephriham to blot
out one or two of his roads and give
the poor stock raisers a chance.

SABBATH sonooL AwAkENINo.
Immense Nee ing at tie M. e. Church

1t seems that the seed sown by the
late Sabbath School Convention held
here, is already promising good fruit.
The Sabbath school Is now almost
everywhere considered one of the most
important means of lettering the
world, and preparing the csmiEg gen.
Grafton for the duties and responsible
ties OF citizenship, and for carrying on
the work of the Master. Hence the
prominence the Sabbath school work
is now receiving.
After consultation the various pas
tors of tie city decided to hold a union
meeting in the interest of the Sabbath
school cause at the NJ. f. church last
Sabbath evening. The notice was Civ
en- In the various pulpits in the morn
ing. The church was packed full of
people. Addresses were made by Rev.
q. Il. Lewis, Rev. C. T. Melvin, Rev.
W. G. Harding, Prof. P. j. Carmichael,
5. B. Riggs, z. w. Cunningham, j. p.
Pinkerton and others, and several
Sabbath school songs were sung. The
whole proceedings were full of en-
thusiasm, all the speakers urging unit
ed and earnest work, in order that the
Sabbath schools of the city might be
more largely attended. It was stated
that while the seyen rooms Of the
school buildings are filled with scholars
during the week days, that one of the
rooms would hold all that attend the
Sabbath schools of the entire city.
This we believe to be an exaggeration,
but tits evident that scores of children
in the city do not attend Sabbath
school at all. Some of the speakers
addressed themselves to the task of
arousing an interest on the part Of pa
rents, and some sharp hits were made
on lazy parents. Mr.. Pinkerton crit
icised the habit of parents, and es-
pecially fathers, in lying abed so late
on Sabbath morning as to prevent the
of children for the Sab
bath school. He little knew, though,
that Ed. Cunningham would swoop
down on him with so terrible force
as he did when he said he had that day
attended Sabbath school in Mr.. P.'s
held Mt 3 p. m, and that he did
not find Mr.. Pinkerton there. He
hoped that hereafter Mr.. Pinkerton
would arise early enough on the Sab |
bath to be at the school in the after |
noon. Pinkerton did not make any
further remarks in that line.
On motion Of Rev. G. II. Melvin,
each school was requested to appoint |
4 committee of one In each ward to |
visit the houses of the people with a
view OF inducing the children to at
tend Sabbath school ut some of the
churches. He made further motion,
which was carried, that Union Sab
bath school organization be made of
the officers, teachers, and Sabbath
school workers of the city, to which
The committees of the wards are to re.
port.
On motion, u meeting was appointed
It the Presbyterian church at 4 p. m :,
sabbath next, November 9th, for the
purpose of effecting the organization
provided for above.
1t will be well for the people to
second the efforts of the.Sabbath school
workers to get their childIen to attend
he schools. The lessons learned there
md the impressions made will go with
hem through life, and do them good
IN every way. We trust the city will
be thoroughly organized.

ENPORIA, Kansas, Nov. lat, 1873.
EDITOR NEWS: As Anti-monopoly
has advanced such profound arguments
in the Ledger Of last week on his pet
theme, It is almost useless for any one
of my caliber to contradict; but, chow
somsver," as this Is said to be q free
country and all have right to their
opinion of matters and things, in the
first place, we think he Is in the wrong
pew In sporting the name OF .'Anti-
monopoly" He claims that the farm
ers' movement Is to raise the price of
their own products and bring down
the price of merchandise; or, in other
words, commodities that we are oblig-
ed to have that we do not produce.
Now this, we emphaticaIly say, Is not
true. Our object is to get . fair living
profit for our products above the cost
of producing. That is ali, and that
we will have IL combination will effect

plOded along, each fellow for himself

all such stuff you would hear from the
stump, the rostrum, ETC., but when he
attempts organization for self protee-
ton and advancement, the scales are
turned. He Is called ssknownothing,' p

just because he Is beginning to get the
scales knocked on his eyes. It Is less

FORGED LYON COUNTY BoND.-A
bond for 81 900, with coupons for the
years 1871 and 1872, was presented at
the County Treasurer's Office on Thurs
day, for the collection of the interest.
On inspection it was discovered that
the bond was spurious, as it bore the
name of II. Fl. Henning, chairman,
instead of II. G. Cross, and L. r. Sny-
der, clerk, in place of j. L. Williams.
The bond was numbered 747, and the
coupons 147. The bond was the prop
erty of an employee on the A. T. & s.
F. railroad, and purpOrted to be one of
the issue of Lyon county to the Union
Pacific Southern Branch railroad COM
pany. There are doubtless others of
the game character in existence.
