Evidences of the growing prosperity Of
Douglas Avenue about the depot are on the
increase every day. We notice that G. II.
Smith has new and enlarged Office, which is
in some degree commensurate with his large
and increasing business. Brickhouss is open
ing frst-class grocery house in the building
lately removed from Main street TO the lot ad-
joining Smith & Pittenger'. coal office. The
quantity Of wheat sold on the street every
day, the arrival and departure of trains, the
immense business done by the City Mills, the
crowded hotels, the daily transactions of the
ceal and lumber yards make this stirring
centre of trade, sufficient of itself to indicate
a healthy business prosperity. The wheat
trade is just in its infancy, but like the young
Hercules it gives good promises Of its future
proportions.

There was rumor on Monday that seriou,
break in the walls of the water mill OF Msssrs
Wheeler & Scheetz, had occurred on Sunday
last, but upon inquiry on the premises we
found the damage to consist simply in the
washing out Of the water floor composed OF
sand and clay. under the mill, over which the
water passes from the dam-gatss to the turbine
wheels, and could be repaired in l. temporary
manner in Jew hours. Blu; the proprletors
propose repairing the damage in manner
that will exempt them from any further loss
from the same source, by putting down a sub
stantial plank floor upon foundation of gray
cl and broken stone. They have ten teams at
work hauling the mat erial for the foundation
of the floor. and expect to be in full operation
in few days. We are sincerely glad TO know
that the damage is so slight. This mill is Pc
culsriy the farmers MILL As 1t is the only one
in the county, we have been informed, that
makes custom work speciality.

The enterprise and grit being shown by Mr..
McCampbe and his sons in the sinking OF the
coal shaft east of town is not only commend
able but wonderful. Without first putting
down test drill or bore, but relying solely
upon their judgment, they commenced in the
early spring sinking fun sized coal SHAFT
Last Saturday night the shaft was one hum
bred and fifty feet deep, with the indication:
Of coal growing stronger continually. Won
derful as it may appear. yet it is nevertheless
true The Messrs. McCampbells have not boon
bothered with water at any time. The bet
tom and sides of the shaft are still dry. Two
sets of hands are now upon the works, and
they are being pushed night and day In
addition TO the months OF labor the work,
have cost quite large sum Of money. The
value of good workable coal vein within g
mile or two of this city can not be estimated
and should the labor and faith of our friend.
be thus rewarded they viii be in possession
OF a bonanza hardly second to anything in
that line on the Pacific coast.

A. everybody expected, the prairie fires are
proving most destructive throughout Kansas
this fall, and our own county of Sedgwick is
not among the smallest sufferers. A terrible
prairie ire swept through the township o.
Rockford and Gypsum last Friday evening
destroying large amount Of property. Dir
Fink lost his hay, hogs, wagon, harness, in
fact everything except his home. Dir. Silk
netter lost several hundred bushels OF grain.
Messrs. Greene & Bollew's moving machine
was burned UP. Miles and miles OF hedss
rows were burned, and much other damage Of
which we could not get the particulars. There
have been fires sweeping in every direction,
and the horizon all around, each night for a
week past, has been lighted up from the re-
Election OF the suryIng flames below, which,
in many places, left ruin in their pathway,
The heavy fires west Of the river last Thurs
day and Friday did csnsid cradle damage, es-
peciAlly to hedges.

Republican candidate for Governor has already
served In that position and in Congress, and IL
considered q strong man in the State. Ii
elected, it is thought he will be sent To the
United States Senate, and the suspicion OF
aspirations Of this kind will possibly cut down
his vote a little. The platforms are not
very outsposen on the currency question,
but the Republican is better than
tho Democratic, which means imitation so
far as its meaning is clear. Nearly
all of the remaining States will hold
their elections on Nov. 2. Only one OF them,
Minnesota, has thus far tickets by both par
ties in the field. OF the two tickets there pre-
scented, the Republican is perhaps the better.
The platforms are both very fair on the cur
rcncy question, That of the Democrats being
the more specific and sensible. The Democratic
platform is also noticeable as containing Gov.

questions settled by the Constitutional Amend

The thorough analysis of tho Figures of the
State census for this city which We publish
this morning will be Of great interest to citi-
zcns of New-Yorl generally and Of special
value to politicians ard all persons interested in
real estate. 1t is the surcst index to be had
of the city's growth for the past five years !;
and shows in what parts the development has
been greatest. Naturally Central Park con-
tinues to he the chief attraction to resi-
dents and over One-half the increase in the
population has been in the immediate vicinity
of it's southern entrances. 1t is curious
to observe, as one may by these statistics,
how population has migrated nOrthward on
this island. Upon these figures the future ap-
poltionment of Assemblymcn and Senators
from Ncw-York is to be made. We believe
tie politicians have been looking for census
returns which would cattle the city TO a
REPRESENTATION of thirty-one in the Assembly {;
but as this presupposed the population to be
one and a quarter millions they seem doomed
TO disappointment, since the total is only a
fraction over 4 million.

The reasons which Judge Barrett gives Tor
DENYING the motion to vacate or reduce W IN.
NJ. Tweed's bail are as satisfactory az the de-
cision is welcome. 1t seems to be cminently II
common-scnse view of the case. that The sum
of money stolen should determine the amount
of bail. Doubtless the friends of Mr.. Tweed
think it very hard to require $3,ooo,Wo OF
bonds "a a security against his fight from the
city; but even the forfeiture of this whole sum
would not restore half the pluudei which 0c-
casions the suit. The absurdity of the plea
that nothing can justify holding any human
being to bail in so large an amount, is very
happily illustrated by the Judge. There Will
have to be very much more wind than this in
the bellows that shall fill Mr.. weeds sails
