AMERIcUs AND VGCINITY.-Last Sat-
urday evening we went up to Americas,
and spent the Sabbath day there and
thereabouts. We met many old friends,
and enjoyed some cordial greetings
Americas, as we have bad occasion to re-
mark before, IL a pleasant little village.
We saw some signs Of thrift-counted
three or four new houses. The corner
where the Bailey house used to stand,
looks a little ragged. A little more paint
would help the looks OF some localities.
In the afternoon, il. company with Rev.
w. w. Bailey, we rode out to brakes
school house, on Allen creek. Here we
met some more old friends. Bro. Bailey
has good society here, and is quite pop
ular As pastor and preacher. We can't
brag on his preaching last Sunday. Some
of our readers will see the point.
The crops are about average. Early
sown fail wheat good. Some OF the oats
good. Spring wheat a failure Most of
the corn promising. A little more rain
will make n big crop o: corn. Lots Of
fruit. There is no danger of Allen creek
ers starving.
Allen creek can boast Of some as good
farms as you can find in Lyon county.
We were away up toward the head of the
creek and where the bottoms were wide
and fertile. HInkle, shuI tz, Frost, Drake,
Moyes, and others whose names we can
not remember now, have farms which
would do credit TO much older States.
They have good houses and barns, and

of prosperity in that region of the coun-
try. The people have a mind to work,
and as rule, they are doing well.

Go EAST BY WAY OF ST. LoUIs.-In
these days of railroad competition the
wise traveller selects his route before
leaving home. In almost every in
stance he desires to reach his destina-
ton as speedily as possible, and for the
accomplishment OF that purpose the
Missouri Pacific Through Line from
the West to the East, via Kansas City
and st. Louis, offers inducements I'M
surpassed by any other line in the
country. Everything connected with
the Missouri Pacific Il. X. is first-class,
and the adoption of the Miller Plat
form and the Westinghouse Air Brake
together with its Pullman Sleepers,
and Reclining Chair Coaches, render a
trip over the line perfectly safe and
pleasant. Passengers from all parts OF
the West by taking its express trains
at Kansas City, Leavenworth, Atchison
and other prominent cities, are landed
n st. Louis at seasonable hours morn
ing and evening, and in ample time to
railroads for every point in the
North, East and South. Partic-
ular information, with maps, time
tables, &C., may be had at the
various Through ticket railroad sta
tions in the West, or upon personal or
written application TO G. Fl. Baxter,

THE SALARY GRAB.

We attended the meeting o f the City
Council held Monday evening, upon a
hint that something startling might be
expected. The majority of the COM
mittee to WHOM it had been referred,
reported back councilman McCarter's
ordinance repeating the salary-grab
with a recommendation that it be
Indefinitely postponed. Mr.. Nc
Carter made minority report recon-
mending its adoption. Mr.. McCarter's
motion prevailed. The question then
came upon the passage of the ordi-
nance and the vote was a tie-much to
the surprise of all who were not in the
secret. The Mayor was thunderstruck.
He had "made record" by Vetoing
the original ordinance, which he was
glad to have passed over his veto.
Getting his 500 per year and still hav-
ing the reputation of "reform," was
much like eating his cake and keeping
it. But after making wry face and
thinking of the tremendous RESPONSE
bility that rested upon him, and how
the whole world was waiting for his
monosyllabic accents, and what a tre-
mendous shock would be given to the
cause of temperance, whichever way
he went, he finally settled down in fa-
vor of repeal. He wanted To make a
speech, but words failed him.
"oh, my 800 he would have muttered,
II Rnl he ssHriRH nnff or INF
Gov. Eskridge, in explaining his
vote, stated forcibly the reason that
had induced a change OF base on his
part: hard times; the evident senti-
ment of the people against it; the bur-
den on the taxpayers; the diminution
of the revenues; the necessity of re-
ducing all salaries. etc. One of the
four who voted against repeal-the

portions to him. We were sorry to
see the ground slipping away from
under him, and all the symptoms of a
financial panic apparent; but he will
feel better when he finds out, as he will

ARRESTED AND BOUND OVER
Sheriff Bay arrested Billy Starr, the
half breed Mexican who broke open
Morris s. BOttger's store, mention of
VIII ich was made last week, at Usage
City on Saturday. He was before Esq.
Bachelor Tuesday, and acknowledged
taking Sl3. He was held in the sum of
$500 for the district court, which he
could not give, and now rests under
our temple of justice.
Blair, his accomplish, claims that he
can prove an abb, and his hearing was
postponed till Saturday. Starr says
Blair was with him and received paEt
of the stolen goods. We shall see.
They will both probably reside, for q
season, where they will not be put to
the trouble even OF selecting their own
clothes. The transgressor has u hard
time, unless he steals big money from
county treasury, or does some other
respectable thing of that kind.

NEW SUPERINTENDENT.

On Saturday last, Mr.. Cavaness hav-
ing resigned the Office of County SUI
perintendent OF Public Instruction to
accept the city Superintendencv, the
duty devolved on the County Commits
siOners to selec. some one to fill the
vacancy. After canvassing the merits
of various persons they appointed Miss
Cassie Slocum to the Office. She en-
tered on the duties ofthe Office Monday.
1t is proper to state that she was not
one of the applicants for the place, and
was taken completely by surprise when
informed of her appointment. She is
u young lady of scholarly attachments,
and much energy and industry, and
will undoubtedly give good satisfac-
ton in this office.

AMERICUs

Mr.. EDITOR former cores
pondent from this place having eX-
changed his quiet home here for the
hustle of the city of Chicago, You have
not been apprised of our doings reg
ularly. Americas still lives, I as
sure you, although Rus, the Bailey
House and the grist mill have all left
US. OF course such frequent parting
with old familiar friends has put us to
grief, somewhat, and grief has made
us silent. But partings must needs
come in this world, and tits of no use
to grIeye always
We expect another mill, better
adapted to this place, will rise instead
of the one just gone to Parsons, and
we are sanguine new and more COM
modious hotel will spring up on the
ruins of the old ope. The void left by
the departure of old personal friends is
not so easily filled; still we can well
come new faces who appear among US.
DIR. Pritchard, who has purchased
Z. W. RS homestead, seems to have
settled permanently here. He is max
ing some improvements. about his new
home We understand he will soon
put in large stock of goods here, as
he already owns an interest in the
building at present occupied by DIR.
Wright. The new drug store on Broad
way is drawing to completion, to be
occupied by DIR. Cause d Co.
The new postoffice building looks
fresh and clean, and the sidewalk in
front inviting. What a nice shady
loafing-place for the ladies that side
walk will be on hot afternoon only
ladies never loaf.
Just opposite will be new church.
The Evangelicals have purchased what
has been known as the Sutton proper
ty, and intend to enlarge and remodel
the store building into a meeting house
for their society, while they will fit up
the dwelling house for parsonage.
The prairies, too, north of town, are
being disturbed. New farms are be-
ing opened /; acres of sod are being
turned up; wells dug, and houses and
barns built. This is good. The more
the better, and we want you TO know
it.

SOMETHING ABOUT GOING EAsT.-The
shortest possible route between the Great
West and the East, North and South, is
over the st. Louis, Kansas City and
Northern Short Line. This road has gain
ed surprising importance by reason of
immense expenditures in the last two
years, of over two millions dollars, be-
sides earnings, in improvements of road
way, in re-laying their line with best
quality of new steel and iron rails, on
broad new ties, and by substituting for
ordinary cars, new reclining chair coaches,
elegantly carpeted and fitted, with dress
ing rooms with toilet eonveniences for la
dies, gentlmen aud families travelling with
children, 1OithoiIt any extra charge. This
line runs six fast express trains between
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, two
more than any other road, and connects
with all the great through lines East,
West, North and South. It is remarkably
exempt from accidents by reason OF adopt
ing every modern appliance for comfort,
speed and safety, including night and day
watchmen, who inspect the road before
and after the passage of each train to see
that everything is secure. We recon-
mead those contemplating a trip East to
take the st. Louis, Kansas City & North
ern Short Line, either through st. Louis,
the great metropolis of over 100000 in
habitants, or through Chicago, via the
Chicago Alton short Uncover the Louis
