address and taking particular Descriptions Of
the missive sought, oblieingly searched among

letter, proceeded TO open it in presence Of the
writer. In doing this the Official used

The Congressional Appor;ionment bal!
which recently passed both houses Of the
Legislature divides the State into three dis
fricts as follows:
FIRST DIsTRIcT-Leaven~orth, Doniphan,
Atchison, Jefferson, Brown, Nemsha. Mar
ehall, Washington, Republic. Jewell. Smith.
Phillips. Norton, Graham, Rocks, Osborn,
Mitchell, Cloud, Clay, Ottawa, Lincoln,
Riley. Po,tawatomie, Jackson. Ellis, Els
worth Russell, Salins and Dickinson coun-
ties.
SECOND DIsrKIcr-Mon,gomery, Labetts,
Cherokee, Crawford, Neosho, Wilson, Bour-
bon, Allen, Anderson, Linn, Miami, Frank
Lin, johnson, Douglass and Wyandot:e.
THIRD DIsrRICr-Shawnee, Lyon, But
Ter, Chase, Cof.y, Greenwood, Howard,
Ossge, sedgwick, Sumner, Wabaunsee,
Woodson, Mcpherson, Ford, Morris, Mar
ion, Reno, Barton, Harper, Barbour, Pratt.
Kinsman. Comanche, Ness, Pawnee. and ali
uuoreanized counties south Of the fret and
wet of the second district.
1t will be seen that Salina county, the
home Of Col. Phillips, is in the fret district,
and Wyaadoite county in the second.
The advocates of the measure claimed that
the railroads of the northern or frst district
frsyereed the State from east 10 west,
divereing from Leavenworth and Atchison,
while the roads of the second district ran
north and south, ceut.ring in Lawrence and
Wyandot;e. 1t was argued also that the Or
eArixed and unorganized counties of the
southwest we're, by reason Of the railroad
situation of the State, more closely allied TO
Topeka than to any other city Of Kansas,
hence Shawnee county vac placed in that
AisGrief.
