The L. L. & q. Ral Id Company refused
TO operate their road Setween Lawrence and
Leavenworth for this reason, as they said, II
did not pay. Anthony brought suit, and
compelled the company 70 operate their road
Chase County Leader.
There was never a greater fraud attempt
ed upon the people of Kansas, than the at,
tempt now being made by George T,'s Or
gans to prove that he is the friend of the
people and the enemy OF monopoly. The
above paragraph from the Chase County
Leader is sample OF the argument used,
and is as baakarced falschood as ever was
uttered. The Governor did make a pre-
tense OF doing something in the matter OF
the Galveston road; he made great deal
of fuss and noise, but this afterwards proved
to be only Tor the purpose of binding the
people to the real truth of the matter, which
was, that he was selling them out, body and
soul, TO the railroad. Instead of compell-
ing the company to operate the road, as his
organs claim, he not only did nothing of
the kind, but he agreed to a compromise
which, may prevent the local authorities
from compelling the road to do its duty.
The L. L. & c., road is operated now pre-
cisely as it has been operated for years, as
Kansas City line purely, and not as a
Kansas road, in any sense. 1t does not
pretend to operate that portion of its line
between Lawrence and Leavenworth,
though its charter says distinctly that it
shall be operated "as continuous line from
Leayenworth to the south line OF the State, y
and the Kansas Pacific train from
Leavenworth cannot even make
connection with it at Lawrence,
If more than twenty minutes behind time.
The road violates the law every day, and
violates il with the consent OF the Governor.
who, under a pretense Of making the road
do its duty, has sold out the people and
their interests to the corporation. And the
other "big things" done by this great re-
former are generally on par with this.
They are nothing but wind.

To prepare the rennet, empty the stoul-
ach by turning out the contents. Pick oil
any foreign substance that may be found
adhering to the coats. Then wipe dry or
rinse carefully. Salt slightly and dry by
hanging in dry air, but do not let it get
wet when partially dry. Strong heat
should he avoided, but freezing and thaw-
ing is not hurtiul. Age also improves rem
nets. In fact they are better used the mex,
season after saving, and for this reason Il
stock Of the previous seasons saving should
always be on hand. When prepared for
use they are stepped in brine or whey.
Where whey il used. sour whey Is probably
best for the reason that it is an antiseptic.
Two quarts of either brine or whey is
enough for an average rcnnet. Since the
strength of rennets vary, the requisite quan
tity cannot be given. 1t must be tested.

An Italian Professor in his investigations
relating to the effects OF vegetable perfume
on the atmosphere, by converting its oNy'
gen into ozone and this increasing It's oxy'
dining influence, says:
"Thc essences found to develop the lar
gest quantity OF ozone are those Of cherry
laurel, clover, Lavender, mint, Juniper,
lemon, fennel and bergamOt those that
give it in smaller quantity are anisc, nut
mes and thyme. The flowers of the narcis-
sus, hyacinth, mignonette, heliotrope and
lily of the valley develop ozone in closed
vessels. Flowers destitute OF perfume dc
not develop it, and those which have but
slight perfume develop it in small quanti-
ties. Reasoning from these facts the pro
fessor recommends the cultivation OF flow
ers in marshy districts, and in all place:
infested with animal emanat.ons, on ac
count OF the powerful oHydizins intuenc'
OF ozone. For this reason, he says, the In
