Saturday afternoon was extremely pleasant !;
the town was full Of people; Main street was
q jam. All things being propitious, our band
appeared on the vcrsndsh Of the Southern
Hotel. where for an hour they discourscd
many Of their finest pieces. Everybody SEEM
cd delighted. except. maybe, the fellows whose
tsams we're not used to that sort OF ''carryin's
ON" and became FESTIVE. We would like to
know who is going move in the matter Of that
concert. Give the boys the i'eneft Of the in

Rev. ]. +. Harsen addressed a large and in
telligcnt audience last sabbath evening upon
the wicked degencracy Of the times and polit-
ical corruption in high places. He handled
his subject in n way that showed he had given
i, patient thought. Whatever objections may
he urged against mixing church and state. we
think it high time for ministers to rise in their
places and denounce the spirit OF corruption
that Of late seems to threaten the life Of Amer
lean liberty. The people even seem to wink
1T del,nquencies and open corruption in high
officials that ffty years years ago would have
consigned the participants to eternal infamy
and disgrace.

There is n proposition to vote $4,000 IN
bonds for the purpose Of erecting an addition
to the school house submitted to the voters Of
this city at the election next Tuesday. we
dislike the idea of erecting any more pubic
buildings out of wood, but when we take into
consideration our newness rs place, the pres
ent rate Of taxation, together with the large
number of children unprOvided for, it is prob
ably the wisest thing that the board could do.
The length of time proposed for the bonds to
run is too short. Bonds running so short q
time are not in demand. besides It will become
necessary to commence raising sinking fnnd
almost Immediately. The location Is all thai
could be desired, and we are only sorry that
the board could not have devised way fol
room for another year or two, by which time
/ il might have been possible to erect permanent
( school buildings.

The great stage route from Wichita to Fort

turned from the latter point last Friday. and
he informs us that the whole line IL stocked
with good horses, the stations averaging nom
twelve to fifteen miles apart. The distance
from Wichita to Fort Sill is two hundred and
forty long miles. and the time taken to make
the run is two days and one night. The fare
is sas. The travel is SO much greater than was
at first anticipated that semi-we"kly trips will
he made after this week. Wichita has now
become the headquarters for the trade Of Fort
Sill and all the western portion OF the Indian
territory.

The new brick yard of J. W. Phillips. on j..
N. SteeIe's place, east Of Chisholm. was VS.
tied on Monday. Mr.. p. had about completed
hi, arrangements for the manufacture Of brick
upon an extensive scale. The foreman OF the
ward. Mr.. 8. II. Van Schorck. informed us that
moulding would be commenced some time
this week. Four mortar pits have been made,
in winch the mud will he mixed by patent
arrangement. Two hundred cords of wood
had already been delivered upon the ground
and another hundred cords contracted ior.
Two wells had been sunk on the ground. IN
which water in abundance was found. A SAND
bank had just been opened not over two nun
dred feet from the pits. From the NUMBER OF
wheelbarrows, tables, moulds, dump-carts
etc. upon the ground, we should judge Mr.
Phillips means business. Two sets OF hand'
will be started in with, which hands, for tht
most part are excellent workmen. from Bloom
ington, Illinois. We see no possible chance o
failure il the brick do not check or crack II
the process of yard drying. The clay ha
stood all tests so far. some of which was sen
10 Illinois and burned in q kiln. If no ba'
luck attends the enterprise, MIR. p. calculate
that he will have a million brick ready for tn
market during the season.
