A REPUBLICAN STATE.

The State debt table of Kansas is very
full and interesting. Such table was
published five years ago; improvements
have been made in it each year and now
the statement is perfect and answers all
questions. The State debt amounts to
81, 1s1, 975, in State bonds. OF these
bonds the sinking fund owns $94, 275 /;
the permanent school fund holds $6O7,.
9s5 the State University fund owns So
800, and the State Normal School fund
holds $1,000. So that Kansas owns all
her State debt except $46S, 276. and when
she raises money by taxes to pay interest
or principal she pays 1t to her own citi-
zens and for her own institutions. The
bonds are and Z per cents. and those
owned by outsiders commands premium

BARN BURNED.

Friday morning about one o'clock the
large stone barn owned by Mrs. Brewster
and occupied by ]. r. Griffith as liv-
cry stable, was discovered to be on fire,
first by boy who was sleeping in the
stable. His shouts aroused the inmates
of the Leland hotel across the street who
succeeded in turning out the horses and
running out the buggies with the excep-
ton of a sulky in the loft. The boy lost
his clothes and Mr.. s. Baker, an en-
ployee, lost verifying he had but the
clothes he wore. Mr.. B. was out OF
town at the time of the fire. The walls
of the building were left standing, the
front wall alone being badly injured.
Mr.. Griffith loses all his harness and
outfit and also hay and corn, the total
loss for him footing up about three hun
bred dollars. The loss on the building
we have not learned. No insurance
Various theories are advanced the gen
eral opinion being that it was the work
of an incendiary. Parties who were
first at the barn think that the fire had
been set in various places.
Thi. is probably a sequel to other fires,
thefts, ETC., which have been of too fire.
quent occurrence of late. The justice
who lightly sentences any petty criminal
for the next few months, will probably
hear an indignant protest from the peo-

The President has just issued a procla-
nation restoring to market and opening
to settlement and purchase under the
homestead laws SO much of the land
granted to the Missouri River, Fort Scott
& Gulf railroad as now remains undis.
posed Of These lands will be opened to
entry at the Topeka and Independence
Offices, and include portions of thirty
eight townships situated along the line
of that road in, the counties of Miami,
Linz, Bourbon, Crawford, Cherokee and
Anderson. This is in pursuance of an
act of congress of March Sd, 1877, and
may be regarded as an outgrowth of Sec
rotary Schurzs recent decision with re.
gard to the Kansas Pacific railroad lands,
which was based on that law but the
probabilities are that the greater portion
of the lands in question, and without
doubt the most desirable sections, have
long ago been disposed of, or this compa.
ny would have followed the example of
the Kansas Pacific in eyading the law
by transferring its lands to another par
ty; and the claims now open to entry
will probably be Immediately taken up
by the present settlers of that region, as
they have the advantage of being already
on the ground. We imagine that the
amount of business at the Topeka and
Independence land offices will be affected
comparatively little by this proclama-
ton,

BARN BURNED.

Wednesday morning just about day
break the barn of Mr.. c. A. Cozine, in
Deer Greek township. was discovered tu
be on fire. 1t was entirely consumed as
was also all of Mr.. Cozine's hay, corn,
harness, ETC., and also colt. The bal
ance of the horses had been turned out.
Afterwards it was ascertained that the
house had been robbed. Mr.. Cozine is
school district treasurer and Tuesday had
drawn the money belonging to the dis
trict. This had been stolen. Our inform
ant did not have all the particulars and
seemed to think that something was
wrong. With our present information
we venture no theories.

HE HAS LEFT US.

DR.. I. d. Miller, We mean; u gentle
man small in stature and still smaller in
point of manhood. He is supposed ia
have left Us between two days. The LIE.
land mourns him to the extent ofan un.
paid board bill; DIR. Hendricks mourns
him for money loaned aud office rent
his washerwoman mourns him for an un,
paid bill of $40; the printer is minus
so cents; Others about town mourn his
untimely departure in sums of s. 90 and
less.
He was a heat dead beat short
haired, light complexioned beat. He has
gone. We never shall look upon his
like again. About town he was an oracle
in some things Of whisky he was a
tolerable judge. Of law, medicine, the
ology and what not he was rerpetually
cackling. But his great success was with
election figures. And he is gone Slipped
away silently, mayhap violently, left US
for good.
T. D. Miller came to this place, it is
supposed, from the Northern part of the
State. Some weeks ago his wife left him,
it is said, and returned to her folks
in Nebraska, since which time the doctor
has been boarding at the Leland. Sat-
urday night he hired team at the livery
stable, took his traps" to some foreign
depot, returned the team to the stable at
II o'clock at night, since which time he
has not been seen. Exchanges pass the
cuss gently.
