pR. EDITOR While the people of
the town and county are troubling
their brain about bow to snake money"
and, while politics comes in for lis share
of consideration, the wise beads are con-
sidering, talking about and smoking
their cigars and pipes over these and
other subjects. 1t seems to be an es-
tablished fact that people, if permitted,
will vote their property away to rail
road companies; and it is certain fact
the railroad companies will take as much
as he people will give.
While these are facts, there is another
fact that concerns all of US ; that is,
while the aforementioned things are oc,
cupying the minds and time OF the peo-
pie, that time is moving steadily on
waiting for none-but in its unfai ing
course it brings to US. out of lis store,
trouble, sickness and inevitable death.
But why should sickness and death oyer
take US when there are SO many patent
medicines that are boasted OF as having
such great healing powers! Why do
people die when there are 80 many doe

not enough buildings forthe people who
wish 10 reside here, hence there Is "a
getting ready 10 build to meet the de.
mand. The county is filling up with a
good class Of people. Money is scarce
corn plenty. The people very care,

and night.
Last Saturday was high day in Be-
lott. Rev. j. Lawrence, Z. E., dedicated

meetings for two months, and thus far
one hundred and four have becn added
TO the church, and still the good work
goes en-.
We have inst commenced a series OF
here in our new church, and
everything looks favorable for a revival

TWO IMPORTANT BILLS.

Since our last issue two important
bills have passed the Legislature. The
Legislature finally came to lis sensesand
passed a Centennial appropriation bill
-s25, 900 being the amount approprIa-
ted As introduced 10 the House, il
had attached on 10 it the scnsclcss pro.
vision that none but agricultursts and
horticul;urists should be appol1 ted
mcm bers Of the board OF managers.
Thc Senate promptly struck Out this
nonsense, and the House subsequently
agreed 10 all the Senate amendments.
Kansas can now maxi showing at
Philadelphia.
The appOrtionment bill has passed
both Houses. The Commonwealth says
concerning it: Perhaps the bill as it
passed was the best that could be agreed
upon. but there are many inequalities IN
it. Take for instance Shawnee county
with 10000 inhabitants, has but one
Senator, while Douglas, with $4,000 has
two. Cowley and Wilson county each
have Senator with about 5000 inhabi-
tants in each county. Allen county has
two Represep tatives, while there arc
FIVE counties in the State with more
population than Allen that have bat one
Representative.
Some complaint is made by Reno ard
counties north and west Of that county,
because thirteen counties with a popula-
ton Of $4,000, have but one Senator,
yet they have very large representa-
ton in the house which cquaizes in a
measure the meagre representation in the
Senate. The strife did not, as was ex-
pected, come up between the east and
the west. There is grumbing and re-
iocing in the north, sonth, east and
west. The bill provides for forty Sena-
tors and one hundred and twenty three
Representatives.
