A telegraphic dispatch In our col
umns yesterday morning announce
ed the death of Hon. A. &. Wilder
Of Rochester, N. Y, and formerly
member of congress from Kansas.
Less than q month ago Mr.. Wilder,
accompanied by his wife, passed
through our city westward, battling
a few days at Topeka to visit his
brother, Hon. ID. w. Wilder, and
then resuming his journey to San
Francisco, where it appears he died
on the 23d inst. The event will oc.
casion no surprise among those
aware of his long failing health and
very feeble condition. His disease
was consumption.
Mr.. Wilder was born in Worces-
ter county, Mass, and was fortv-
seven years Of age. He first came
to Kansas in March, 1857, took up
his residence in Leavenworth, and
remained there until October, 1866.
He took an active part in politics
was secretary and chairman Of the
first Republican committees, and
was elected to congress in 1858. At
ter returning to Rochester, New
York, he was elected mayor, aud
once lacked only three votes of a
nomination to congress in that dis
trict. s-- -, -ss-a

the radical type, and through good

Card from the B0a of Com.
AmissiOmers.

TorEKA, KANs., Dec. %, 1875.
We, the undersigned, Commits.
siOnerS of the Permanent School
Fund, deem it advisable to publish
the following statement in refer
ence to the purchase of certain
school bonds which are now known
to us to be forgeries:
Sometime during the latter part
ofAugust Mr.. Lappin, State Treas
urer, called at the Office of the State
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, and informed two of the Com
missioners that there were several
parties residing at st. Joseph, Mis-
souri,, who held Kansas School Dis
trict Bonds, which tEev would sell
to the Commissioners If the price
suited.
About the 2Sth of August, a
lerter was received from one S.
Whitcomb, from St. Joseph, Mo-,
referring to a party that had been
named to the Commissioners by
Mr.. Lappin, inquiring about the
price which the Commissioners
were paying for bonds, and inform
ing the Commissioners that he held
the bonds of several school districts
of counties in Northwestern Kan
sas, which he would sell if the price
suited. An answer was returned
giving information regarding the
price paid for bonds.
On the End of September, bonds
were received from Mr.. Whitcomb
Between September 3rd and Sep.
tembe 9th, Mr.. Lappin Informed
the Commissioners that he had re.
ceived a letter from Mr.. Whitcomb
requesting him to receive aud remit
the proceeds of the bonds, should
they be purchased by the Commits
sioners. Between the 2nd and TT
of September, Mr.. Lappin, on sew
eral occasions, personally urged TIT
Commissioners to examine and pur
chase said bonds.
On the 9th of September, Mr.
Lappin informed the Commission
ers that he was going away for {
few days, and directed that, in case
the aforesaid bonds were purchased
the orders be made out in favor o.
| Mr.. Emmert, his chief clerk, Or
the 7th of September, when tn,
bonds were purchased, the ORDER
were SO drawn and delivered to Mr.
! Emmert at the Office of the Stat
| Treasurer.
Mr.. Lappin received the money
upon these orders, and thereWitI
purchased a draft on Chicago pay
able to his own order. This draft
payable to his order, Mr.. L3ppin
according to his own statement t,
the Commissioners, presented ant
collected in person.
| The Commissioners bought tn
aforesaid bonds, believing that Mr.
Lappin personally knew S. Whit
comb, who offered them for sale. II
his interviews with the Commits
sioners, Mr.. Lappin has failed t.
give a satisfactory explanation o
the payment to S. Whitcomb TO
said bonds.
These are all the facts which tn
Commissioners deem it adYlsabI
to publish at present, cOnsistentl!
with their duty to themselves ant
to the State.
The Commissioners neither asI
nor expect immunity from any jus
charge that may be brought agains
them, for lack Of care or judgmen
in the purchase of school bonds
feeling assuerd that they will b
rightly judged by the people, whel
the people are in possession of al
the facts in the case.

EasONI CHASE COUNTY.
What an old Correspondent
thinks of the Herd Law.


thinks of the Herd Law.
DEAR NEWS Recently you pub
lished a couple of articles from GA.
P" and Sweet, opposing the adopt
ion of what is commonly called the
herd law. Mr.. A. p. says he has
talked with fifty farmers, and only
four of that number favored the
law.
Is it possible that the farmers of
Lyon county are so coVetous-sO
disposed to accumulate at the ex-
pense of others, that only four in
fifty can be found requiring every
man to take care of his own stock !?
When Mr.. A. P. took his home
stead, pre-empted, or bought his
farm, he took certain amount of
land, and to that land he obtained 3
patent, or deed. giving him full
right and title to cultivate-build as
high and dig as deep as he pleased,
with all that pertained to it, but not
He can build, pillow, fence, cultivate
or herd on that land to his hearts
content when he wants rights out
side of that he must obtain them by
purchase or the consent of others.
Or do you want privileged class !?
l hope not. know there are men
that would rather have q hundred
Texas broad horns feeding on these
fertile hills and valleys than they
should be inhabited with any num-
Der of intelligent families. 1 hope,
too, you are not Of this class.
Or, did you come to this State a
little sooner than some of your less
fortunate neighbors, and obtained
bottom land, timber and water,
while those that came after you had
to take land only? If so, are you
not willing to let those that came in
at the eleventh hour have q little
chance? Or, are you like some
pretentious Christians-go to church
early, get good seat near the stove
on cold days, and, rather than move
to give room to others that might
come in cold, open the stove door to
save yourself from burning, while
others might freeze? Or, would
you go to a public dinner, gather
the best to yourself, to the dissatis.
faction of others. Indeed, much OF
this opposition TO The herd law
looks much like it.
Mr.. Sweet says, like A. p: awe
fail to see yet where we are going
to herd. We had always supposed
it was every mans privilege to keep
work horses where he could gel
them without running all over the
prairies, through the wet grass
without having herd Law forcing
him SO to do. If not we have beer
laboring under a sad mistake"
Poor fellow! Fail to see where
you are going TO herd. Do you wan

nish you and A. P. herding groundi

STATE.

There was filed in the Secretary of
States office Oh the 10th, a charter for
a railroad called the Atchison q Ar
kansas Valley railroad. The capital
stock is fixed at 81, 100000. The Board
of Directors are w. w. Cochrane, G i.
Fl. Stringfellow, A. II. Lamphear,
George Storch, w. c. McPike, ThOs.
Murphy, NJ. Quigg, A. B. Braddish, B.
F. Hudson, c. Rohr, G. 5. Challis and
Thomas Metcalf, all residents of Atch-
son. The road is to run in a south
westerly direction from Atchison
through, or touching the counties OF
Jackson, Pottawatomie, Wabaunse,
Marion or Chase, Butler aud COwley,
the estimated distance being 300 miles.
The exact geographical center of the
State of Kansas is a point in the north
west corner of Rice county, only few
miles from Atlanta, the county seat of
that county. The center of population
according to the census returns of 1875
is point about twelve miles northeast
of EmpOria, Lyon county. The center
of population is, therefore, about one
hundred and twenty miles east and
about six milas north of the geOgraph-
icai center of the State. Kansas is
four hundred miles in length, east and
west, and the center of population is
now about eighty miles from the eaat-
ern border.
In Wilson county, on the 18th, John
Bellmyer, young man, accidentally
shot himself with a gun and died in
sn hour. 1t was in many respects a
sad cfse, and is another warning to
people who wish to hunt to be very
careful.
Near LeavenwOrth, beautiful
young girl named Ottinger had been
seduced by one James Buat, upon
whose farm she lived, and he then re-
fused TO marry her. On the 23d, hear
ing he was to marry an AtchisOn lady,
she seized his razor and tried to cut his
throat, but he disarmed her. She then
got pistol and shpt herself through
the temple and fell dead.
At RossvIlle, Republic county, VIM
NJ. Hixon shot and killed his brother
in-law, Joseph Sorrel, on account of u
fifty dollar note about which there was
quarrel. Akron surrendered himself
Mrs. Hixon is a sickly woman, and the
shock threw her into a spasm which
will probably kill her.
On the 21st, on Seven Mile creek, il
Riley county, Geo. Hunter, colered
man, and Geo. Davidson, white man
had a dispute about watering cattle
when Hunter shot Davidson in the
bowels, and killed him, and then sur.
rendered himself. Davidson was {
