ROSIN.-h the early part OF the
current week, the rosin market was
much depressed by the financial
troubles, and there was little specu
lative movement and no export de
mand of any importance prevailing.
In the middle Of the week The dullness
continued and buyers could not be
induced to operate to any extent.
But the arrival Of large number of
vessels and the frightening of the
financial skies, gave promise of 4
speedy revival of trade, and sci
lers refused to sacrifice their
stock at the extreme low prices
Ilaterin the week and toward the close,
there is more demand exhibited and
prices have advanced rapidly, the mar
ket closing to-day with q strong I'M
dertone The attendance at the Elk
change of buyers and sellers this week
was large, hut in the absence of any
speculative or export demand there
was not much trading. "Spots" were
in demand early in the week, and at
the close, and there were a considera-

BARBOUR COUNTY.

This is one of the new counties on
the Southwestern border that is att
tracing considerable attention.
On Monday last we talked with I. C
Price, of Neosho Rapids, who had
just returned from tour ST inspec
ton through that county. He is
very much pleased with the county,
which is settling up rapidly, and
will soon return to take up his per-
manent abode there. lie will set
tie near the new town OF Lawrence
burg near the center of the county,
on the Medicine Logde river, which
has just been laid out by an enter.
prising company of Kansas NEIL
Medicine Lodge is a good large
stream, and has a heavy how OF
good water. About Lswrenceburg
the country is level, and there i:
considerable timber, consisting
mostly of oak, cottonwood and
cedar. The town has q splendid 10
cation on the west side OF the river
Good inducements are offered Il
mechanics, merchants, etc., to settle
in the town. Liberal provision hal
been made by the company fol

Now is the time TO get first-clas

LETTER FROM INDEPENDENCE.

EDITOR NEWS: Thinking you
would like q few items from one OF
the Plymouthites in this section of
Gods country, concluded to write
you q few.
We are having some cold wealth
er now and few days ago we had
very hard snow storm, some esti-
mating the snow was six or seven
inches deep; it was very cold.
Notwithstanding all the storms, /
never saw wheat look better than it
does in this county and in Green
wood. We saw, in passing down
Fall river, better fall wheat and
more of it than l ever before had
the pleasure of seeing in the same
area in the State of Kansas, and
some of the most beautiful country
that man could wish to see. II
looks strange, though, to see large
crops of wheat aud other grain
laying out without any Enclosure at
all.
Business here looks brisk, yet /
think that all of these towns in this
country are far ahead OF the country.
Considerable excitement is occa-
stoned by the disappearance of DIR.

Last "wednesday Is or 100 men
went in search of his body. They
hunted all day Wednesday and
Thursday. They traced the Doctor
within one mile of Drum creek,
where be was last seen. II is very
rare that crimes or this nature, how
ever shrouded in mystery for a sea-
son, do not at sorre time come to
light, aud it is believed this one
will.
They are talking of organizing a
market fair here. / think this would
be good thing for the farmers and
stock-raisers of our county to do.
It would bring the farmers together
and give them chance of display
ing what they have to sell: horses,
cattle, theep, hogs, grain. wagons,
plows, anything, in fact, they have
to sell. You might travel for days
hunting for secondhand wagon or
cart and not find them. A fair OF
this kind would advertise articles
\ for sale, and give the farmer some
spare change instead of letting such
articles lay around and rot. II
would give new corners chance oil
getting teams, aud they could
match their horses; would bring
horses together that were raised
miles apart that would match and
make good teams.
1 will try and give you a few
more items when get home.
l am glad to see our farmers
awakening to the great question o
protecting. their own interests.
hope they will succeed in affecting
permanent organizations, and try
and see If we cannot equalize things
in this country. For the last few
years capitalists themselves have Sc
the example of organizing for tbs
purpose of increasing the per cent
income from their investments. /
they have a right TO do this, thu
laboring classes have at least al
equal right to organize to vote t.
prevent extortion upon them, ant
To force a system of fair dealing t.
make capitalists contented witt
fair profits.

measure, who will tell him that he
outdid them in opposition TO- the
bonds. If the Ledger man is not
one of those interesting characters
who cannot possibly sec how to pull

account of the gate post in his own
eye, we should like TO have him OK
plain this little matter.
Did he tell anybody from the
country, as an inducement foI
them to take bis paper, that
he was opposed to the bonds
but il would not be policy for him
TO come out against them very
strong this time? If he did not VIZ
arc misinformed-that's all. Now
we put the question to him, il
which was he sincere, in his oppo
sition 10 the bonds, or in his adyo
cacy of them? To which party wa
he playing the hypoerite. We be
lieve we will ask him, also, if any

in this bond matter. We are sorr,
TO see him surrender his convictions
so early in his editorial career.

not be exasperated beyond measure
II they even improve upon their
teachers in this respect. We trust
the Government will not be driven

more like comfortable living by the

THE KAw LAND APPRAlsEMRNr.

There seems TO be considerable
dissatisfaction with the late ap-
praisement OF the Kaw lands. IL is
stated that, much of the land is put
down at too high a figure. This we
do not know about, as we have not
seen the figures. It,will be remem-
bered that under the law by which
the land was to be appraised and
sold, bona fide settlers had the right
to purchase their 100 acres at the APP
praised value, any time within a
year from the date OF the approval
of the appraisement by the Secreta-
ry OF the Interior. The claims of
some seyenty-five to one hundred
settlers on The trust lands in this
and Morris counties were rejected
by the board of appraisers. We
learn from Lieutenant Governor
Slower, who returned from WASH
ington few days ago, that through
the efforts of himself and our Con-
| HTGSSuucug TIC lHottCA VI thOSO NioAAAe
has been by the Secretary referred
to Enoch Hosg, the Superintendent
for rc-hearing. lie will soon visit
the lands to investigate the matter
and Il will be well for the settlers to
be ready to prove up their claims
when he comes. We are of the
opinion that the interests of these
claimants have fallen Into good
hands, and we have no doubt bu
that Mr.. Hoag will do exact justic'
to all parties concerned.
1t would be a hardship indeed TO
the settlers to lose their hard-earneC
improvements. It was with grea
Z difficulty that q re- hearing was OBJ
tanned by Governor Slower, as thu
department had already approved
, the report of the appraisers.

At the close of its war with
Germany, not three years ago,
France was a political, military and
financial wreck. Its great capital
was partly in ruins, its provinces
devastated, and its people In arms
against each other. In this de-
plorable condition its present re-
publican government undertook
the task of raising and saving
enough revenue to pay its war debt
to Germany. What is the result !?
In the short space of two and one
half years it has paid Germany
$3.50, 900, 900, besides rebuilding Par
is and reinvigorating France gen.
orally. What has the Uuited States
government done to compare
with this? Had Congress not bet
ter appoint a COMMITTEE to visit
France, and learn how Theirs
manages to accomplish such f.
nancial results.
