-Leavenworth has fewer old maids than
any other city of her size in the Union.-l

But Leavenworth has some mighty nasty
widows, to make up for it.-Tioy Cict.
Rev. l. S Kalloch has left Leaven-

Susan T. Anthony had large. audi
ence at Mcdonald Hall last night, to hear
her lecture on "The Social Evils"-and
what will cure them. The lecture, upon
the whole, was a good one, sharp, strong,
decided and instructive-F0H Scott Jloaitor
The Lawrence Journal reports a crazy
man in that town, who says he has been
cut in two and put together again. He

that he worked in a foundry there.
Frank Root has sold the Holton En-
press to the proprietoIs of the new paper,
and will seek another field of labor. This
will necessitate an abandonment of that

The Independence Tribune says:
The Leavenworth TINES is mad about it,
and SAYS the government ought to make
the Indians 90 to work and earn their living
like white men do The idea of the noble
red man having to work for his rations is
ridiculous. There wouldn't be any poetry
in that.
Anthony is trying TO seduce the Good
Deacon into another bet. Anthony claims
the largest circulation, and, as the Deacon
tried to make fun about it, Anthony pulls
out his hundred dollar bills and shakes
them under the Deacon's nose and offers to
risk money that The TINES has larger
circulation than the Commercidi.-Fot Scott
Sentinel.
Rev. J. W. Roberts, editor of the o.
kaloosa Independent will take charge this
month of the Leavenworth Commercial. Mr..
Roberts has published the Independent for
the past fourteen years, and made it a
good paper; yet We think he will not make
success OF the Commercial. Good men
like Deacon Houston and Roberts are push
ed to the wall in western daily journalism.

The Wyandotte Gazette says that it is
proposed to hold in Philadelphia, at the
same time with the Worlds Fair, next
year, commencing on the 10th OF May, a
Phonetic Congress, or a convention Of all
those who favor spelling the English Ian
guage as nearly as possible as it is pronoun-
ced.
As it may interest some people to know
what Col. York and Others received as wit
nes,es fess in the Pomeroy case, we may state,
by authority of Mr.. McCabe, clerk of Shaw
nee county district court, that Col. York re-
ceived $lS6. ]. o. Frazier, of Independ-
ence, received Sl3l.5O. E. S. Slower, W.
O. Sylvester, F. X. Roberts, J. NJ. Mcknight,
II. A. Galloway, W. II. II. Larimer and
Asa Hairgrove got Sil.5O each. g. w.
Findley, Of Fort Scott, SOC. 40; W. A. John
son, of Garnett, got $40, and J. c. Horton,
of Lawrence, S6.90.-Commonreaih
Gov. Slower, in a letter to the Leaven-
worth TINES, emphatically denies that he
received dollar of the historic 5000 or
that he ever received from Pomeroy any
money or other valuable consideration on
consideration that he should return the
money to Mr.. York. He terms the man
who originated the story "a contemplate
coward and "a liar of the first water That
is the way to talk-it's refreshing to hear a
man speak right out. York should follow
Gov. Stover's example, if ne can do so con-
scientiously-H Scot Monitor.
J.W. ROBERTS, of the Oskaloosa hide
pendent, 30 it is reported, has purchased the
Ieayenworth Commercial. Mr.. Roberts
makes the Independent good paper, and no
doubt he will make the Commercial the
same. But has he forgotten the fate OF
Snow, Melius Il Balm, They left good
and prosperous country paper and bought
Acity daily, and in three months they were
80 badly swamped that they lost both offices.
We hope, however, a different result for

The Eureka Herald is down on respec-
table society. Read:
We do not mean the uncomfortable out
casts, but women who move in what Is sup
posed to be respectable society. We refer
to those who appear to be worshipers OF
men Of doubtful character When a man
Is proved guilty they sometimes quit their
worship, but rather because of the detection
than the guilt. Beecher il adored by thou

he will still have many friends among
