la the midst of the general exult-
alton over the harvest throughout
Kansas, Doniphan county calls as
loudly for aid as any OF the frontier
counties did last winter. As q spec
linen OF the heartrending distress
that prevails there, read the follow
ing resolutions adopted by a meet
ing in school district No. 60, July
9th:
That relief must be called for from
those In prosperity.
That many able hands, willing to
labor for subsistence, cannot obtain
employment.
That many afiectiOnate, toiling
mothers are at this time in such des-
titute circumstances as not to be
able to appear in company.
That some of our children are de-
prived of the benefits of the COM
mon school, by reason of the loss OF
our crops.
That dependency prevails among
parents to such an extent as TO
threaten their intellectual and NOR.
al equilibrium.
That there 10 not q sufficient
amount Of wheat and vegetables in
the District to supply one-tenth OF
the inhabitants.
That the chinch bugs are now de-
stroyinR our third planting OF corn.
That we have neither credit, mOn-
ey nor provisions to pervent dis
tress.
That the hope OF the District In
being self-sustaining for the present
wear is lost, to all intents and pur-
poses, the encouraging statements
Of capitalists and Journals to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
And the Troy Chief adds:
The wheat harvest In DoniphaI
county Is finished, and an estimate
can soon be formed Of it's extent
Taking q scope OF twelve miles

MARROW GUAGE RAIL
ROAD.

From the Real Estate Register.
The article in the June REGIS
TER in regard to the project of u
narrow guage railroad from this
city south-we down the Walnut
and Fall river valleys, has attract
ed considerable attention along
the whole line. The papers of
Eureka, Eldorado, Arkansas City,
and other points, have taken up
the matter with spirit. We have
not time or space to go into this
subject at length, at present, but
will do so soon. We suggest q
few points for the consideration
of our friends of the Southwest.
This city does not favor a narrow
guage from the paltry desire to
force them to break bulk with al
their freight at this point. With
the modern facilities for transfer
ing freight, this would not give
employment to a dozen extra men
We favor it because we believe il
the only practicable scheme fol
wears TO come. The saving il
freight over fifty miles of marrow
guage road will twice pay the cos
of transfer. Experienced railroad
men say that road of the ordi
nary guage can now be built ant
equipped in this country for Sl2,
900 per mile. II this is so, q mar
row guage, which will do all tn
business lust as well, and q COOS
deal cheaper, can be built 70
$4,000 per mile. The Princips
reason for high freights and fare
is the heavy bonded debt of tn
roads vii. ch compel them to asl
high rates in order to pay interes
aud current expenses. This roai
need not have q bonded debt O
more than $4,000, or at the mos
5000 per mile. The first twent
miles will be the most difficult t
get in operation, but then it WI
pay at once from that point, as
will be the nearest railroad pOin
for a large business. This roa
can and ought to he built, Owne
and controlled entirely by GU
own people. The will, the enel
gy, the persistency, and a sma
amount Of money is all that
needed.
