by the silent lips.
How long they sat thus, know not,
when they heard heavy sound in the
distance. At first absorbed in their sor-

nearer and nearer, and Harold looking

or of our state, accompanied by Mr..
Levy of your city. who says we should
not be proud and anxious to commit
nicatc the fact, that we may glory over
other small villages not so fortunate.
Consequently we take this opportnni-
~ of doing so, adding a few remarks
which the visi; has engendcred in our
usually Obtuse brain.
The governor gave lis to understand
that he was travelling through this pOr-
ton Of Kansas to investigate the III
dian reports, and 10 see with his own
ewes, and hear with his own ears, how
much was true and how much was
false, being prepared at any time to
give any Indian or any other person,
brother or sister, who were i'll need,
lecture based upon the golden rule Of
"doin9 unto others as we would that
Others should do unto us"
1t is our opinion that man who has
christian and temperate feeling at heart
and takes enough interest in his peo-
pie to rough it himself, in order to as
certain their desires and wants, is well
entitled and deserves the position he
occupies.
During our conversation. Mr.. Levy,
remarked that he had been Informed
BY Messrs. Kohn and Bishop. of Wich-
tia, that I had accidentally become
possessed of IA valuable remedy for the
cure of diseases prevalent among
mules, and he being philanthrophist,
and DESTROYS at all times to do the pub
lie the greatest amount Of good, would

ten feet i'm hcighth and six inches in
circumference. l wished to send it to
your, our Mcssrs. Steele e. Levy's
office, but it has become so dry that |
will not risk it. Considering the dry
weather, think our Minnesota valley
can hold its own raising corn, with any
in the state.
For the benefit of those intending to
come here to gather plumbs or grapes,
! will state the cOnsoling fact that
there is wagon and family camped
under every grape vine and plumb

and loss of six millions sustained.
Twenty blocks OF buildings were
burut before the fire was quenchcd.
Three steam fire engines were burned
and three tiremen killed by falling
walls, on Van Buren, street. Gunpow-

buildings. Among the buildings burn
ed are Golfers church, the Jewish
synagoge. Quinn's chapel, st. James

Messiah. Olive Baptist church, and the
Adelphi theatre. The Palmer house
and Gardner house were barely saved.
The fire took in Van Durcn street on

won three straight heats in 2:l9 81,
2:l6l and 2:l6. The only contestant
i'm the race was Judge Fullerton. both
horses doing splendid trotting through
out. The only break in the three heats
was made by the Maid i'll the first
quarter of the first heat, when she lost
some three lengths, Judge Fullerton
leading 10 the home stretch, where he
was collard and passed by the mare,
who won the heat by a length. Judge
Fullerton was beat about two lengths

Governor Osborn.

Gov. Thos. 4. Osborn spent day
in our city This week. He had been
down TO the border, through Sumner
and Cowley counties, assuring the
people of protection against any
threatened invasions from Indians.
He found people thirty and forty miles
from the border more apprehensivc
than those Immediately along the line.
He apprehends no trouble whatever
east of Barton and Comanche counties.
The Governor says that the country
through this, Sumner and Cowley
counties is the finest he ever saw and
he gives it as his opinion, after having
carefully examined the soil in many
places, that we have the greatest wheat
country in the west, but he thinks
northern Kansas will always beat us
in corn. The Governor, of course,
has a warm side for Wichita which
run him ahead Of the balance of the
ticket two years ago, and he still has
hosts of friends here.
Our people feel much obliged to the
Chief Executive Of the state for the
personal interest he has taken in
spending week travelling over the
prairics in search of facts relative TO
the Indian scare, aud for giving the
settlers assurance that he will protect
them with all the powers at his COM
mand should the red devils ever make
their appearance north Of the line.

The Latest Indian News.

News from the front and exposed
settlements contains little Of an inter-
estin" nature. The bands that were
harras sing hunting parties and steal
inc from traders and settlers along the
panhandle of Texas and the extreme
western limits Of Kansas seem to have
fell back to their agencies. No deprc-
dations or scarcs of any nature have
been reported in a fortnight, amt no
more trouble has been met with on
the trail through the Indian Terrific
ry.
The Wichita volunteer company re-
turned three days since, accompanied
bv Adit. Gen. Morris, and Maj. Kos

well, and nothing of an exciting or
dangerous nature occurred in conncc-
ton with the campaigne. The COM
panv proceeded some distance into the
Indian Territory, we believe, .hey saw
many Indians. but they all talked very
fair and sociablc. Capt. Tucker, Of
iiccrs and men will hold themselves in
readiness for any emergency.
Adj. Gen. Morris gives it as his
opinion that there is possibility OF
trouble along the extreme western
border during the fall. 1t has
been long time since the kio-
was. Commanches Cheyennes and

One of the best things about the
grange movement is the effort to make
the American farmer remember that
his house is not tent in the desert,
but Il home. and should have all those
surroundings which make hoi agree
able. Ii is a strange fact that the
nearer one comes 10 city the more
delightful he finds the gardens. TIE
fact is that the dcnizen of the city ap-
preciates the pleasure afforded by ivy
and shade tree and flower, while the
farmer does not. He looks upon his
land as something TO scrape living
from, and chops down the growing
shade tree for cord wood. With a
very few days extra trouble each year,
our farmers could live in houses en-
powered BY roses and spreading ever
greens, and surrounded with flower
gardens.
