The CoIIier-HoussOn Trouble.


ID. ". Houston, in consequence of the I'M
enviable notorie.y he obtained in the matter
OF his controversy with Mrs. Andrewlina
Collier, has been compelled to leave town.
He went East Wednesday on the midnight
train.
Mrs. Golfers letter published in the Ar.
gus, talking horsewhip to the gallant Colonel
was too much for his weak nerves. 1t is
rumored on the streets that Mrs. Collier has
also left town; whether she followed Hous-
ton is not known. Ii is sad to witness the
termination of friendship between the two
once so confidiug and tender, now SO bitter.

LeavenWorsh and the Country Press
Addressing itself to the subject of adver-
Using in country papers the Wilson county
Free Press discourses as follows:
"We refer to the subject now to say that
Leavcnworth merchants are not altogether
blind to their interests or their duty in this
matter, but they need the stimulants of sharp
probing. Let the press Of Southern Kansas
turn its batteries upon Leavenworth and
vale her up from her Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep, and she will bound into greatness and
wealth.
We can inform our Wilson county neigh |
Dor that Leavenworth doesn't need any of
the Rip Van Wrinkle" talk. The Topeka |
Commonwealth and other country papers |
have worn that threadbare. Leavenworth |
is to-day the busiest town on the Missouri
river. She lie putting up more buildings and |
better buildings than any other city in the |
great valley. Her retail and Wholesale |
merchants have had better trade this wear
than ever before. The inland papers of
Kansas have done Leavenworth all the
harm they can do her, and now if they wish
to make amends and join in an effort to
Caake Leavenworth a metropolis in every
respect worthy of vigorous Kansas, let
them follow the example of the Press
and send their representatives here to get
accurate information regarding the growth,
the Improvements, the trade and the manu-
featuring resources Of the city. Leaven
worth Is not afraid of honest comparison
with other cities of the Missouri valley.
