Kansas City Times.
For come unexplained reason, every scle-
gram from Topeka, every editorial, and
every insimation from the State capital says
in substance that the Lesvenworth delega.
ton demanded of Gov. Osborn that he ap-
point Robert Crozier Senator.
1t is perhaps due to the people of the State,
and only Justice to the delegation and the
people of Leavenworth to say tba. they did
not do any such thing.
Gov. Osborn sent word from Topeka FOX
the d.eavenwor,h delegation TO meet
him for consultation a. the office Of Siiliinss
& Fenlon, at noon on Friday.
All the delegation except McWhirt aId
Lawrence did meet with him at that time.
The Governor asked the delegation their
opinion relative to the appointment OF
Senator from Leavenworth.
One or two of the delegation were EN-
phaticslly in favor Of his appointing i,eav-
worth man: one did not know or care much ;
two or three had little or nothing TO say
seven of the delegates, however, preferred
one from this place.
Gov. O.born then said he was OF the opin-
ion that the Senator should be named from
some other locality. Oilers 40 advise him.
He thought i, would injure his chances as
vel! a. that Of any other candidate from this
city to make the appointment from here.
After this statement the delegation, with
but one or two exceptions, expressed a wish
not to have him do anything that would
tend 10 irjure his prospects.

VALUE o. WAFER.

The value of water, which is used princi-
pally for bathing. washing olothes, and to
some extent for drinking purposes IN this
part of the country, and which is "a free AZ
the air, n not properly appreciated among
ms. In Colorado it has staple value. The
Greeley (Col.) Tribune. in answer to several
colonization projects. says emigrants mutt
not expect that they can at once become pos
sesaed of large and valuable farms. They
can secure q vast acreage at comparatively
small cost, bet cultivation is necessarily
confined to few acres where water rights
are owned in common, a. With colonies.
There are memberships in the Greeley
Colony which can be bought, but no water
rights. Water to cover eighty acres during
the whole season, . said to be worth as much
q $500. The sum Of $50 has been paid for q
share in water riehts, this share furnishing
not more than enough to water twenty acres.
1t Is the opinion Of the Tribu"e that Colo
rado farm Of forty acres will sell for IS, 00C

tion Of the country, water is more valuable
than land.

A Halloween TOrchligbf Procession
az BnlmOral castle.
From the London Morning Herald, Nov. 5.
The old Scottish festival OF Halloween
the observance of which has gradually
been falling into neglect in Scotland. es-
pecially in the lowlsnd part OF the
country, has of late years been revived
on Deerside with all its peculiar charac-
teristics and this year unusual prepara-
tiOns were made at BalmoraI Castle to
celebrated the occasion. Shortly before
six O'Clock on Friday evening the Gotta
gers, gillies, and laborers from the east.
ern part OF the Balmoral estate mustered
some distance to the east OF the castle,
and four abreast, each man carrying q
torch. In this form they proceeded up
the western avenue, and at point near
ly opposite sn old limestone quarry they
were met by her Majesty, who, seated
in her carriage, was escorted by the ten
antry On the western part OF her do
mains, also carrying torchlige:s. The
two bodies here Joined and moved in the
direction of the castle, headed by the
Queens pipers playing appropriate airs.
On arriving at the main entrance to the
castle, her Majesty aligh'ed from her
csrrisge, and preceded by the pipers
and followed by the large body Of torch
bearing tenantry, walked by the west
side of the castle. Then the procession
descended the broad staircase on 10 the
lawn at the northwest corner Of the
castle.
The spectacle was very fine; the blsz-
ing torches threw lurid glare on the
white walls of the castle, and the wild
hur-shs cf the men, blended with the
"skirl" of the pipes. formed scene Of
stirring and romantic grandure. the only
drawback to the sublimity of the effect
being the bright rays oftbe moon some
what eclipseinZ the brillancy OF the
lights borne by the men.
Having completed the circuit OF the
castle, the procession again halted In
front Of the principle doorway, where
dancing Was vigorously begun TO the
strains of the bagpipes by the light OF
the bonfres. Her Majesty remained q
lively and interested spectator Until a
late hour in the night.

From the Kansas city Times

FROM the hans.t5 tity Times.
An exciting incident occurred yester-
day morning in this city, which for q
time threatened to culminate in the death
of several citizens. Since the great Span
ish bull fight in'the arena OF the old fair
grounds in 1870, there has not been wits
messed slch a scene as that which trans
pired in the eastern portion OF Kansas
City yesterday morning.
A large Spanish bail escaped from the
slaughter pens of Messrs. Ring S Flynn.
in east Kansas City. The furious brute
appeared to have become maddened by
the smell of blood in the shambles, ana
to escape its impending fate made a des-
perato and successful attempt TO escape
the knife of the butcher.
The brute as soon as ii found itself at
liberty erected his pos'erior appendage,
and snorting fiercely started up High
street at a full gsilop. Its rage seemed
to increase as it ran and 1t dashed at any
object coming within range of its obser-
vation. Women and children fled in
terror and dismay from the path of tue
enraged brute. Just as he reached the
corner of Fifth and High streets, MIR.
John Quinlan was observed by the bull
He made all haste to escape behind his
wagon, from which he had lust taken
the horses, but il was too late; and with
one swoOp and toss oil his head, sent
him whirling over the wagon tongue,
lniuring him severely. The excitement
became intense. Women and children
screamed, while men rushed hither and
thither in search OF arms. The bull in
his impetuosity fell down after throwing
Mr.. Quinl Ian, and the wagon started to
run down the hill and fortunately
caught the animal between the front and
rear wheels of the wagon, and held him
there for four or five minutes. In the
meantime number of men led by OIL
Ger Brennan gathered around the brute
and commenced 10 fire pistols and shot
guns at it. BY strong effort the enrag-
ed animal released himself from the wag-
on, and dashed out amongst the pursu-
ers, who scattered in all directions. The
bull started northward and ran the gaunt-
let of a perfect fusilaje of shots, nearly
all of which took effect. Ii continued to
run, although nearly riddled with shots,
recrossed Fourth and Third streets, and
finally dropped from loss of blood near
the residence of Alderman Campbell, on
the eastern bluffs of the city. II wss
fOnnd perfectly riddled with bullets, and
died only from rom sheer loss of blood.
Ii was one of the 'gamiest" old Texan
coasters ever raised on the Rio Grande.

r. SENATOR APPOINTED.

Th. appointment of Mr.. Robert Crozler
of this city to the Caldwell vacancy in the
I-,;,sj States Senate was announced last
night in dispatch from Governor Osborn
sho j. now in Topeka.
Mr.. Crozier is an old resident of this city,
and was an active supporter oi Ms. Aiehan'
der Caldwell during the notorious Senatorial
canvass of Is.l, and was subsequently MI.

m;,.ee of Elections and Privileges, and plead

TO ike discharge of his duties
a. cashier Of the First Ma
t;oaal Bunk Of this city. Mr.. Crozier's
name headed the list Of a number of citi-
zens inviting Mr.. Caldwell, 4 few weeks
since, to become candidate for the Legisla-
ture from the Fourth Ward. From this it
will be seen that lie has been a consistent
supporter of Caldwell. He never had
well defined position in any political party,
and has never been recognized in this city
Or in this State as leading Republican.
In all cardor, we say deliberately, that We
regard his selection for the high and hoE-
orable position of United States Senator
a. unfortunate for the Republican party OF
Kansas. He canno. be in sympathy with
the people OF this country who are struggling
to elude the grasp Of corporate monopolies,
for in more ways than one Mr.. Crozier is
a monopoly man. Both in association and
training we regard him as one not in accord
with the reforms which the Republican party
is under pledge to accomplish.
Toward Mr.. Crozier personally, we enter
tain the mos. kindly feelings. He Is courteous
and agreeable in his intercourse with
fellow men, and withal gentleman ad-
mired for his fine social qualities and court
" address. We promise that The TINES
will uphold and support him
in all good and honorable
efforts to secure useful legislation for kansas.
As a townsman We congratulate him upon
his promotion, ard, at the same time, would
not withhold from Gov. Osborn thanks
for having terminated the scramble for the
vscan, place.
At this writing we are not familiar with
all the influences brought TO secure MIR.
Crozier's appointment, but presume the
procure was exceedingly great.

CaldweIl during the Senatorial election at
Topeka, and was his friend ard counselor
during the fearful ordeal through which he
passei at Washington. The appointment of
such a friend by Governor Osborn must be

The appointment of Mr.. Crozier was
largely influenced by his avowed sympa-
thy with the settlers OF the Usage lands, in
their contest with the railroads, and by his
known ability to do them service in the
Senate. We do not think, however, that
the choice ia one that will increase the
