piece of halter. The remains were
at once identified as those of York.
They found large bruised scar on
his temple, showing that he un-
doubleday came to his death from q
blow from some sharp instrument.
The house was next thoroughly
searched and in the clock case was
found piece of Mr.. York's spec
tacles.
The floor was then taken up and
a new horror unearthed. Upon
digging in the soil there they came
upon the remains of people who
had probably been murdered and
buried there, but the decomposition
Of the bodies was so far advanced
that the searchers were unable to
identify them when our informant
left, last evening.
The most intense excitement pre-
vailed at Cherryvale over the start
ling discovery, and people were as
sem bling from every direction as
they learned of the event.
We hope the pursuit of this Ben
der family will be as vigorously in
augurated and kept up as has been
the search for Mr.. York, until the
last one of them feels the vengeance
of an outraged law and an exasper-
ated community. Let the most ex-
pert detectives be put on the trail,
If necessary, and ferret out the
blood thirsty perpetrators of these
premeditated and uuproYoked MUIR
| ders. We shall await with interest
the further unearthing of the dark
| deeds.

EFFECT OF THE MAINE LAW IN
MAINE.-A letter from Congress
man Frye, in Maine, is published
concerning the effects of the Maine
liquor law, and his statements are
endorsed by the entire Congression-
al delegation of that State. The
following are its important por-
tions:
81 can and do, from my own per-
sonal observation, unhessitatingly
affirm that the consumption of in
toxicating liquors in Maine is not
to-day One-fourth as great as it was
twenty years ago that in the coun-
try portions of the State the sale
and use have almost entirely ceas-
ed !; that the law itself under a Wig
orous enforcement of its provisions,
has created temperance sentiment
which is marvellous, and to which
opposition is powerless. In my
opinion our remarka BILE Temperance
reform OF TO-DAY is the legitimate
child of the law"

To LIQUoR DEALERs.-The liquor
and tobacco dealers, and others sub
iect to lisence on special. tax under
the Internal Revenue laws, will,
from the 1st of May, be required to
pay the tax under the provisions of
the act of December "a, 1872, instead
of waiting for assessment. They
will be required to pay in advance
the same as State licenses, and the
penalties are heavy for doing bust
ness after .ihe Both of April without
having paid the tax. The tax re-
ceipt, to be procured at the office OF
the Collector, il posted conspicu-
ously in the place of business of the
taxpayer. The law imposes penal.
ties for falling so to post the receipts
or stamps.

The visit of Hon. S. G. Pomeroy
and z. King to Topeka has resulted
in putting the King bridge works
in operation again, says the Com
monwealth. That paper thinks
Pome-oy will bring his family to
Topeka, and take up his residence
there, which we very much doubt.
ANOTHER CoLoNY.--A ST. Louis
dispatch of the 9th says Messrs.
Bour and Peter, from Russia, passed
through there yesterday,en route to
southern Kansas and Texas TO select
locations for colony of 10000 for
eigners now in Russia, which coun-
try they have decided to leave in
consequence of an edict of the gov
ernment that they must pay tribute
to the Greek church and bear arms
as other citizens, or leave the coun-
try.
CONTRACT FOR TRANSPORTATION.
I'VE learn that the contract Of
transportation of supplies 10 the
frontier posts, amounting in the ag.
gregate to 100000 pounds, hai
been awarded by the government
to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe road. This includes all the posts
of New Mexico and Southern Col.
orado, Fort Lyon, Fort Union, Fort
Garland and the rest, supplies &c
which have hitherto been transport.
ed by way of Kit Carson and Pueb.
10. This is a recognition by the
government that the A. Il. s. S. f
road has already reached the south
west, and that towards that region
it is one of the great carrying routes
of the continent. The managers o
this company naturally feel very
jubilant over this substantial extern
sion of national patronage, and arr
confident that their road will here
after deserve and obtain all thu
government patronage for TIT
acknowledgements.

THE WHEAT CRoP.--The st. Louis
Democrat publishes long list OF
letters from friends Throughout the
States of Missouri; and Illinois con-
corning winter wheat crop pros
poets. That paper says:
"The story seems to be nearly
all one way, namely, that where
carefully selected seed is properly
put in with the drill, the safety OF
the crop is assured against the ex-
igencies of the severest winter.
That the winter but just ended NAV
be ranked in this category none will
deny, and the fear was that more
of the fall-sown wheat would be
found seriously damaged by the
severe freezing TO which it was
subject"
The same can be said of winter
wheat in Kansas. We incline to
the opinion that the prospect for a
large crop of wheat in Kansas is
much better than in Missouri OF
Illinois. In the northwestern por-
ton of the State, we are reliably
informed that an unusually large
breadth of spring wheat has been
sown. Unless there is some draw
back, the next wheat crop of Kan
sas will be immense

EXPLOITATION OF CoRN.-The low
price of corn in the United States
seems to have created q large foreign
demand for that staple instead of
wheat. According to late report
of the bureau of statistics, there was
exported 1881, 2s2 bushels for the
fifteen months ending September
go, 1872, against 19, ZIG bushels
for the corresponding period ending
September 80, 1871; while of wheat
there was shipped 46,96l ,355 bushels
for the fifteen months ended Sept.
80, 1871, against 36,s72;7I2 bushels
in the similar period 10 September
80, last year. The difference in the
present rates of wheat and corn is
considerably greater than it was
during the period to which these
statistics refer, and it is probable
that the present summer will show
still larger Increase in the foreign
consumption of the latter import
