RICH's MILL BURNED
An Ola Land Mark Goae.

On Sunday night last. about 10 p. m,
the steam fiour ing mill OF Daniel Rich,
about mile and . half northeast OF the
city, on the Neosho, was discovered to be
on fire. The fire was first discov-
cred by parties returning from church
At the school house on the opposite side Of
the river. Mr.. Rich was absent at the
time in attendance upon the Yearly Meet
ing ut Lawrence, We believe. Although
several parties live near the mill, when
they first arrived the inside was complete
Iy enveloped In flames, % that no efforts
could be made to save 1t. Everything
was destroyed but the boiler and engine,
and we understand these are lefs in fair
condition. Among the losses il three tons
Of -four and 500 bushels Of wheat belong
ing to Mr.. Rich, besides some 70 bushels
Of grist work. There was no insurance.
This loss falls very heavily on friend
Rich. and the whole community sincerely
sympathIze with him. The mill had re-
ce ntly undergone extensive repairs, be-
ing newly rooted and weatherboarded to
a considerable extent.
There Is no room to doubt that the mil
was set on fire. There had not been any
Dire In the mill since the previous Thurs
day, and we learn that there were no
matches about the premises. 1t Is be-
lieved by some to have been the work OF
thieves, who helped themselves to -four
and afterwards set the building on fire
either purposely or accidentally. The
ioss is serious one to the community.
This mill was one OF the "Old land
marks" Of this vicinity. 1t was first built
lust north OF the site OF the State Normal
school in 1857, by Parham and Phelps.
Afterwards IL was moved to its present
place, we think, by John Fawcett and
Charley Britton, the latter now the own
er Of the water mill at Cottonwood Falls.

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 r. Z. 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, Atehison
and other prominent cities, are landed
st. Louis at seasonable hours morn
ing and evening, and in ample time to
make direct connection with all
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
lions in the West, or upon personal or
written application to G. Fl. Baxter,
Western Passenger Agent, Kansas

Passenger Agent, st. Louis, Mo.

Mr.. Null has shipped two or three
car loads of calves from this point.
The base baliers of this place and

Mr.. Davis, of Michigan, a nephew Of

He proposes to engage in buying and SELL

The outfit, we believe, is valued at fifteen

TOPEKA YEEP.

Notwithstanding the howl raised by
some OF the papers published south and
west of here, on the A, T. & S. F. rail-
road, that the MennOtites were kept in
this city SO that orr people might sell
TO them at extravagant prices, that
DeoDle have found it necessary tn
return here to purchase the additional
stock needed, simply because those In
the sections below here have asked
such outrageous prices for what they
had to sell. A number of the MennOn-
ties have been in this city for the past
two days, and have found horses, cat
tie, ETC., at satisfactory figures. The
yelpers at Emporia, Newton and
Hutchinson will please make = note of
this, and find some other falschOosi TO
tell on the people of this eity.-Tope-
ka Commonwealth.
So far as the above "hing" applies II.
Emporia, it is entirely sratuitons, auo
should be amended. Not a word WAS
said in this paper about the Mennon-
ties being kept at Topeka, and we are
told that the other paper here did not
allnde to the matter. Neither have
we heard any expression to that effect
-AOA-- Jul w aotC
some of our people, on the contrary,
cOngratuiGLing Topeka on tie crumbs
fed them by the Mennonites, because,
perhaps, lao town in the State needed |
them more. There was no tow N on |
the line of the road which had SO |
many large empty buildings to accom-
modate the Russians temporarily, and
so far as We have had any expression
it is that of Joy that Topeka had this
little job to cheer them up for few
days.
We don't know Why the Common
wealth should make this ding at EN-
Doria. 1t certainly had no grounds for
LONG so. We suppose 1t may be ac-
counted for on the ground OF q change
n local editors, and the squib was the
'esult of ignorance. We can hardly
hink it was done inten tionally, be-
'ause that paper has always received a
rood patronage here, and has no rea-
on for display OF malice toward us.

CIETY.
Proceeding. Of Meeting, Oct. 10. 1s7

Proceedings OF Meeting. Oct. 10. 1874
Society met in the secretaFy's Office, al
the usual hour, and was called to order
| by the president.
The attendance W As quite large: After
| some time spent ia general conversation
upon various interesting topics, the sub
ject Of "the borers'' was taken up and oe-
cupled the time Of the meeting.
Various plans were suggested TO pre-
| vent their ravAges.
Isaac Criley said they used TO have them
| in Ohio, but not so numerous. They
could be dug out with the point Of knife
and killed. Thought some alkaline wash
like soapsuds or lime, applied during the
month Of July and August, when the eggs
are just Matching, would kill them.
Miller recommended probing with wire
and killing the grub In the hole.
Truitt thought 1t doubtful IL the chaps
could be hit every time with wire, rs he
frequently burrows into the wood.
Milliken gave the history Of the insect
in its transformations, and agreed with
previous speakers that washes Of soap
suds were beneficial; and also he COM
mended TO keep the bodies Of the trees
clean by scraping, As the insect deposits
its eggs In the creVices OF the bark and
other rough places about the trunk OF the
tree. He said he knew Of one sure and
effective remedy, and that WAS 10 dig out
the grub and cut his head OF
JAS. Dole exhibited specimens OF the
grub preserved In alcohol.
With regard to the peach borer, ali
agreed that as they work near the
ground, ashes and lime are effective in
keeping them OF.
One reason given for the unusual des-
trucIiveness Of borers In Kansas, was
that birds are not plentiful enough, espe-
ciAlly those Of the woodpecker family.
When the country becomes more thiekly
settled and gloves and orchards more
abundant, birds will be more numerous.
Airs. Ruggles exhibited basket Of ap- |
pies from the Spencer orchard, north OF |
town, among which were y number Of va |
rieties that none present were able TO |
name.
Dole presented q monster sweet potato |
that was n marvel Of size and beauty
The president stated that some men, 1
beers, he had forgotten who, had got /
one OF the books belonging to the society,
BArry's Fruit Gardeu,) and requested |
that they return it at the next meeting
Miss L. A. slOcum rendered her resig-
nation AS secretary.
The president announced that there
was vacancy in the Office Of vice presI-
dent, and recommended that new one be
elected.
The question OF filling the above offices
W AS laid over until the next meeting.
Let there be full attendance of men,
bers so that the offices may be filled to the
~ tiSfaction Of all.
Adjourned to meet on Saturday, Oct.
s4th, at e O'Clock P. II.

In your issue OF October 9th the Reform
candidate for County Attorney publishes
ga card to the public" with the inten-
ton, rs would appear from the COM
mencement Of his card, Of answering cer-
tain rumors TO the effect that he will not
give his personal attention TO the duties
| OF the ONCE If elected. He would have
the people understand that that was the
object Of the article. Not 50, however.
Not content with referring to ''his person
nj attention to the oniee,' and that Of his
partner, (whom he Is advertising In n
cheap way) he throws out bid for votes
for the ONCE that he does not want cerV
bad (Y). He assures the people OF Lyon
county that II he Is elected County Attor
ney not q dollar shall be paid from the
county treasury during his term Of ONCE
unless IL Is just and legally right that it
should be paid. Well, this Is the first
time that ever knew that the County At

ey and Wxs the person who dlsbursed the
same. 1 was always under the impress
sion that the Board Of County Commits

County Attorneys duty was 70 0iue adj

this little fellow Is getting TO be = host In
this country. l should not wonder but
that he can perform the duties OF District
Judge, County Attorney, City Attorney,
Board OF County Commissioners, Probate
Judge and perhaps Sheriff, all At the same
time; st least he thinks the people would
believe him II he said he could. Does he
say In his card any more than that IL
elected ne will do his duty, just what the
him TO do. But he Is under the impress
sion that the people suspicion that he will
not do his duty unless he tells them that
he toiH There 10 not only considerable
weakness displ aged In his card, but not
a little meanness. Any person can see
that one of his objects In writing the
card was to insinuate that the Board
OF County Commissioners had been pay
ing money which should not have been
paid, as 1t was not legally and justly due
from the:county, which was paid under the
advice OF the County Attorney, or could |
have been by him prevented. He knows
AS well rs he kno VS. anything, that the |
Board OF County Commissioners has new. |
er paid one dollar which was not legally |
and justly payable during the term Of Of
ice OF the pl esent County Attorney, under
his advice, or which he could have In any
wise prevented.
But these are hard times and he thinks
IL he talks to the people about preventing
the payment Of a dollar he will be listen
ed to with the deepest interest. But
think he has underestimAted the people
as he is very apt to dO) IL he thinks he
will make any votes by the weak card he
has published. What is this world com
ing tor Have the mighty fallen? Who
would ever imagine that the fAr-famed
who has . practice Of S20,O0O

lic'' for the purpose OF catching votes for
