Another Railroad.

Last Thursday, Messrs 0. Kent,
L. B. Fuller and - johnson came
oyer from Burlington ia the inter-
ests of line of road proposed to be
built from Burlington to this place.
Mr.. Kent is secretary of the Kan
sas City, Burlington g Santa Fe, re-
Gently extended from Williamsburg
to Darlington. Mr.. Fuller is the
engineer of the Kansas City, Empo-
ria s. Southern, and Mr.. johnson is
a new man representing himself as
being the representative of large
means ordinarily termed capital. A
few of our business men assembled
in an informal meeting at I'll. G. Ri
zer's office, and the meeting was
called to order by selecting Mr.. j.
d. James chairman. The object of
the visit was stated by Mr.. johnson.
He stated that he had received nu-
merous requests from parties inter-
ested in the Kansas City, Burling-
ton g Santa Fe road, to take hold of
that enterprise. He finally concIud-
ed to visit Burlington, and was so
well pleased with the prospect upon
arriving there that he obtained 8
charter for a new company called
the Kansas City, Eureka s. Santa Fe
railroad. What he desired was to
know whether our people would be
willing to transfer the bonds voted
to the Kansas City, Emporia &
Southern to this new enterprise
which he would agree should be
built to Eureka by next fall. He
stated he had large amount of cap
ikal nn- ~ hank RI La mad 3, hoSII
ing railroads, and besides owned
$lO0,0 600 worth of steel rails for tie
same purpose. He would not accept
the bonds OF the county while there
was any possibility of those already
voted being issued by the building
Of the narrow gauge, but by an ar
rangement had with that enterprise,
he would be able to secure the con-
sent of those interested in it to such
transfer If our people would con-
sent. As those present at the meet
ing could not see how this couId be
effected legally, an unfavorable
opinion was expressed and the
meeting adjourned without agree
ing upon any coure of action. Mr..
johnson said he intended to put hts
surveyors at work to run over the
line last Tuesday. 1t was the gen.
eral feeling in the meeting that If
the bonds sIready voted should be
cancelled and withdrawn from es-
crow, we might vote bonds in aid
of this new enterprise, but we will
have to know great deal more
about it and its hackers before we
can take any action. Mr.. johnson
said he would bnild the road from
Burlington to Eureka in ninety days
if he could get the requisite amount
Of aid.-Eureka Herald.

Grasshoppers in Dakota.
st. Paul Pioneer-Press


BISMARCK, June 29.-The first
genuine grasshoppers of the season
appeared here yesterday. The wind
in the forenoon was directly from
the south, and about noon changed
to the west. After the wind chang
ed the 'hoppers were first noticed.
They came from the south and lit
when the wind changed, but not in
any great numbers. They are not
affiliated with the parasite of last
summer. In 1873 the first grass
hoppers appeared here during the
first week in June, and came from
the southwest and disappeared
northeast, after leaving their eggs.
In IA the young grasshoppers hatch
ed out in great numbers in May and
destroyed all the gardens around
Bismarck. Afterwards, during the
same year, great many swerms OF
grasshoppers passed over from the
northwest going southeast, and only
lit when encountering an adverse
wind. In 1875 grasshoppers also
Matched here, and innumerable
swarms passed over, the largest OF
which came from the south and
passed directly north. They resem-
bled clouds of smoke from a prairle
fire while passing oyer. This was
in July before the prairie grass was
dry enough to burn. In 10 and TT
we were visited by grasshoppers,
and great numbers flew over, most
lY to the southeast, while a few
swarms passed over to the north.
The 0nIu material damaoo done
here to crops by grasshoppers since
the settlement of this locality, in
1872, was done by the grasshoppers
that Matched here in May, 1874. We
seem to occupy the middle ground.
There is no doubt that the locusts
hatch out in immense numbers to
the north of our locality and peri
odically move to the south and
southwestward, and reach as far as
Iowa and Kansas.

We can recall no paper in the third
Congressional district now supporting Mr..
Ryan whose editor is not q postmaster or
in some way interested in some particu-
lar post-ofiice. This is significant, to say
the least; and 1t legitimately gives rise to
the question whether this Is the third
congressional district or the third post

can recall no paper in the third con-

Mr.. Peters whose editor is not q

some way interested in some per-
son who does want one. Our po-
sition would be just as fair, just as

as Independent as yours. It's a very
poor way to make capital for q can

al, and we know that Samuel r,
Peters Is too much of q man TO ask
such work from his supporters, OF
to endorse such creeping. For in.

happen to hold an Office that Mr.

Why Indians are on the Rampage.


From the winnemucca New Silver State.
We assert, as a fact, that all the
Indians now on the war path in Or
egon were recently on reservations,
and that no Piutes, who have been
supporting themselves by hunting
and fishing, have taken up arms
against the whites or voluntarily
Joined the host1les. That this is a
fact can be proved by the best evil
dence in the country, as well as by
friendly and intelligent Indians
like Nacbes. We know the Indian
agent at Mslheur has misrepresent-
ed the condition of the Growing
bands" as he terms them, of Indians
in this part of the state, and we be-
lieve that his mistreatment of the
Indians under his immediate super
vision at Malheur has caused them,
one and all, to leave the reservation
and join the Bannocks.

How TO MAKE WATER COLD
The following is simple mode of
rendering water almost as cold as
ice, without the use of ice. Let the
jar. pitcher, or vessel used for wa
ter be surrounded with one or more
folds of coarse cotton kept constant
ly wet. The evaporation of the
water will carry off the heat from
the inside, and reduce it to q freez-
ing point. In India and other trop-
ical regions where ice cannot be
produced, this method of proceed
ing is common.

The fact that large majority of
the Republican papers of Kansas
are opposed to the denomination
of George T. Anthony for govern
or has set the teeth of his few Or
gans on edge. We are sorry to see
them engaged in an effort to belit-
tie the influence of the Republican
press of the State. In doing so they
show decidedly bad taste. George
certainly has no just ground of
complaint against the press, for had
it not been for their efforts in his be-
half, and the fact that it was presi-
dental year, his bacon would have
been cooked two years ago. The
Republican papers will have the
bulk of. the campaign work to do, as
usual, and there certainly can be no
improperly in their expressing
their preferences as to who the can
didate shall be. They know that
George L. Anthony, both on &C
count of the views he holds at vari-
ance with the well known sentiments
of the people, and the foolish express
sions against him, as we'll as bust
ness record of doubtful honesty,
cannot carry the strength of his par
ty by thousands of votes, and thai
If the opposition act with even ordi-
nary shrewdness, his election might
be greatly endangered. These Re.
publican papers cannot see the use
of jeopardizing the interests of thu
whole party to accommodate
George. We suppose they have I
right to advocate their views. They
are simply tired of apologizing TO
the short comings of candidates OF
the Republican ticket. We hav
good men with clean records, ani
one of that kind had better be nom
mated this time.
