EDITOR News 1T would seem
that a change is coming over things
here. In common with all other
sections of the state, times have been
very dull, but an Improvement is
perceptible. AS has been noted in
the papers, arrangements have been
effected for the completion of the
dam, and reliable capitalists have
bound themselves to erect Touring
mill Immediately, and when the oc-
casion requires it, erect an elevator.
This is permanent business matter,
which will no doubt lead to the out
lay of more capital in other manu-
featuring enterprises. The power
is here and adequate; only let us
have money flowing in its natural
channel once more, and let the cap
italists get confidence again, and all
will go smoothly along.
The committee of Friends who
have bean in session here for two
or three days have closed their la.
bors. They "kindly" ask agent
Miles to resign. He (Miles) having
been brought in close contact with
hostile Indians, and seeing and
knowing their internal, devilish
disposition, allowed his inner ma
ture to gain the ascendency of his
non-combative exterior, aud in his
good judgment asked the President
for the immediate presence of sew.
eral companies of troops to soothe
these noble sons of the prairie. Mr.
Miles is held in high esteem by tbs
President as an Indian agent. HI
came through the hostile country
with his family, risking their live
as well as his own, TO ask the as
sistance and advice of those highel
in authority. Having done wha
he deemed to be his duty, commit

A good many people and some of
the papers are talking about Judge
W. r. Brown, of Hutchinson, for
Congressman from this, the Third
district.
We clip the following from the
last Eldorado Times:
Judge Brown, of Hutchinson, and
Capt. Peters, of Marion Centre, call
ed to see us last Tuesday. Judge
Browns many friends are urging
him to become q candidate for Con-
gress from this district. The Judge
il well qualified, honest and indus
trious, and should he be nominated
at the convention at Emporia next
month we will support him with
pleasure.
This is from the Chase county
Leader, printed at the Judges for
mer home:
"Among the many candidates
mentioned for congress, from this
districi, the name of w. r. Brown,
judge of the ninth district, seems to
be the most prominent outside of
the large cities. Though Shawnee
and Lyon counties present a robust
list OF healthy aspirants, we do not
recognize any one of them as his
superior. While filling the position
of district judge he has proven him
self one of the best iurists in the
state. During his term of Office he
has had presented to him for adjud-
icatlon some OF the most intricate
points of law, aud we know of but
one instance in ali that time where
in his rulings have been set aside by
the supreme court. In addition to
his knowledge of the principles of
government, he is better acquainted
by actual experience with the wants
of a new country, than those who
could probably fill the position in
all other respects, with credit and
advantage to the people.
One of the strongest arguments in
favor of the gentleman mentioned,
especially in this time of needed re-
form, is the fact that during his
whole public career there has not
been breath of suspicion against his
integrity while the political air has
been rife with dishonesty. ana cor
ruption, his eight years record of
Official life ia Clear

The crusaders of Winchester,

of people. The business houses
were serenaded by the cornet band.
Anvils were brought out and roar
ed on every corner. The excite
ment was intense. All because a
Justice Hinchman decided that a
druggist could sell liquor contrary
to law. The whiskyites rejoice be-
cause they can get something to
drink. While they and devils re-
joice, fathers, mothers and

soma and husbands mourn. How

evil. When will they cease TO re-
