1t seems strange that the people along
the line of the NJ, X. Il T. railroad, north
of EmpOria, cannot get their daily pa
pers until the same are two or three days
old. On the n, I. * s. F. railroad the
mail agent has pouch for all interme-
diate points between Emporia and juno
ton City. Why cannot that pouch be
transferred at the junction at Emporia,
or, If il has to go mp town, be sent direct
to the NJ, x. 81 T. railroad depot? The
deprivation is one that our people feel
keenly, and we hope the route agents on
the line will see that the Emporia Office
points along the NJ, K. & T. railroad
north of this place.--COuncil Grove Re-
publican.
We think we can explain the cause of
the trouble. 1t would be utterly impos-
sible to transfer the pouch spoken of at
the junction when it does not arrive there
till after the NJ. X. & T. train passes north.
The utmost diligence is used at the EN-
poria Office to get the mail north, the
postmaster often holding the messenger
who carries it to the NJ, X. & T. depot
till the last minute. The route agents
on the line have no control over the En-
poria Office whatever, and are not respon-
sible for sending out mails. The whole
trouble comes from the vexatious and
mostly inexcusable delays in the arrival
of the Santa Fe trains at this place.
Since the immigration season opened
this train has been from one to four hours
late two-thirds of the time, This is just
what's the matter with the Council
Grove mail. The people of that city can
rest assured that the post Office authori-
ties at Emporia appreciate the impor-
lance of promptness in forwarding mail
matter, and that such as comes into their
hands will be sent when it arrives in
time. We hope the intolerable nuisance
of late trains will soon cease.

Obituary.

We are again called upon to record the
passing away of another of the old settlers
of this county. f. B. johnson, farmer,
living in Andalusia township, died at
three o'clock on Saturday morning, aged
70 years and mouths. Mr.. johnson was
born 10 Posey township, Switzerland coun-
ty, Indiana, 10 1903, and moved to this
state in 1850, first settling in Peoria coun-
ty. In 1854 he again moved westward, tax
ing up his residence iu this county where
he has resided since. Mr.. johnson in pol
itics was IA democrat of the old school, and
man of somo influence in local affairs.
His death is regretted by numbers of per
sona friends, and is loss to the com
munity in which he lived.
