WHAT SHALL THE HARVEST BE?


A little item touching the annual CO
nundrum of drouths. crops. and sc
forth. in last weeks EAGLE local. ha.
drawn out considerable personal com
ment. a twenty-thrce wears residence
in and observation of Kansas climate
ought TO entitlc ones Judgment TO some
little consideration. We don't like the
continuous high winds. When they
extend far into the spring and summer
dry weather is almost a sure result.
Since writing the item alluded to. we
haze consulted the weather tables for
the West and we find that the rainfull
has been far below The average.
Upon this subjcc: the Chicago TrIb-
INC produces the following article and
condensed table which will be read with
interest by all who are interested in any
manner in the annual crops, which. in
this country, means everybody:

LYNCH LAW.

4 terrible affair occurred in Lcayen-
worth county last Friday niih.. Our
readers will remember the murder of
Mrs. CASTILLO, at Easton, of which we
published an account. The last man sus-
picioncd of the crime was her nearest
neighbor, James Murray. a wealthy
farmer. who did not like the widow.
The first man arrested for her murder
was discharged. and Murray was arrest
ed, and after an examination was held
for trial at the next term Of court. The
Sheriff of the county did not believe
him guilty Of the crime, and thcreupon
the Governor offered $500 for the arrest
of the guilty party. Murray was out
Oh bail and thirty disguised men went
to his house on the night named and
dragged him from his home and his
wife's arms and hung him to tree til!
dead.
The masqucrs are guilty Of fonlest
murder. and if the authorities do their
duty somebody else will stretch hemp.
This taking of life 10y mobs on simple
suspicion is horrible.

THE ST. LOUIS. KANSAS < ARR
IONA RAILROAD.

THE ST. LOUIS. KANSAS X ARR
IONA RAILROAD.
The extension of the Missouri Pacific
from Paola southwest is already being
rapidly built. The line has already been
located scyeniy-tivc miles, TO the west
line of Woodson county. in the direc-
ton of Wichita. The directors have
determined to tap this valley at the ear
hest possible day. Kansas City has SO
persistently and eilectually played into
the hands Of Chicago n against St.
Louis that the latter, in sclf-defcnse.
must construct the extension.
The Eldorado Press of last week con-
tains the following information:
The last route surveyed was one di-
rect west from Toronto by way of Eu-
rcla 10 Fl Dorado. This route Colonel
Broadhead pronoumces as possessed of
many advantages over any other line he
has examined. His preliminary survey
up Fall river from Eureka entering this
county three or four miles north of the
fifth standard parallel and coming upon
the summit of Flint ridge near the head
Of Harrison creek: thence down Harri-
son creek to E.dorado.
Col. Broadhead has examined a route
from Eldorado west. by way of Towan-
ia. in the direction of Wichita. He
pronounced The line OF easy grade and
very direct.
What will be done so far as this coiin-
~ is concerned. is matter which is yet
ander consideration. The engineers are
merely gathering information, which
will be used by the Garrisons in arriv-
ing at their final conclusion. They in
tend TO extend road into this country
upon the line which they consider will
give them the most business and best
inducements in the way of franchises.
etc. They are able to build and no
doubt will build.

THE SELlGMAN RAILROADS

The Seligmans have not been cOnsid-
cred railroad magnatcs per sc. While
they have been recognized as the Roths-
childs of. America, controlling and d.
rccting the syndicate for the sale Of MT
tional securities in this and foreign
countries, they have had little TO do
with ordinary corporate enterprises.
The Atlantic & Pacific Railroad was Ia
ken by them to secure bonded debts.
The property proving nnremunerative,
the terminus being in the Indian Terri
tory, the extension to Oswego was
leased. But il would seem that the
great firm has got the railroad fever IN
earnest. In addition TO the extension
to Wichita and west, they purchased
outright, last week, the Joplin & Gil
rard Railroad, a line that crosses their
line in Missouri and which is about sew
cnty-fivc miles long. The new purchase
makes a good feeder to the trunk. The
news of the purchase created no little
stir in railroad circles. rs il is thought
the Scligmans will extend the Girard
branch 10 Humboldt and may he fnrth-

THE EDITORS ANNUAL JAUNT.

Notice has been given that the MEM
bers of the Kansas State Editorial Assoc
citation, which means ordinarily about
fifty bona .fde editors, one hundred
printing Office attaches and one hundred
women. half dozen babies and a car
load of lunch baskets, will take their
annual dead-head ride. starting from
Topeka on the 18th, we believe. How
railroad companies, hotels and munich
pal corporations dread these visits is
best known only 10 the officers of these
corporations and institutions. The
dread of the papers behind these So
called representatives and editors force
Il seeming cordially that is far from the
real thing. For the good name of the
profession We hope these annual dead
head sprecs may soon be discontinued.
