THE SCOURGE.

There was small hope that the yellow
fever would not visit the south again
this year, but the news by telegraph to-
day dispels every ray of it. There is
now no doubt but that the suffering is to
be great, as over thirty new cases are an
nounced since the previous report 1t
seems to be confined, SO far, to Memphis,
but the news OF its spread to other cities
may be daily expected, and it will not
be surprising if it works its way further
north than last year. The Memphis peo-
pie are TO be sincerely pitied. Scourged,
bankrupt in purse, and deserted. Her
people returned last fall-thOse who had
fed from the scourge by the thousand
20 find their homes and property strip
ped of almost everything movable. They
struggled through the winter and spring
with little means of earning living, and
undergoing privations. They are now
again turned out of house and home tC
save their lives. We sincerely hope the
worst approximations may be dispelled by
more favorable news soon, and that the
scourge may speedily disappear.

FROM "THE BOYS"
oJayhawker" ON tho situation.


WEST LAS ANIMAs, Col, July %.
EDS. NEws.-As several of the Empo-
ria boys are on the railroad guarding ex-
petition for the A, T. & 5. F., we have
been requested TO write few notes TO the
NEWS as regards their trip, &c.
We left Emporia last Friday, the 10Th,
bound, as we supposed, for the grand
canon of Colorado. The boys were all
in good spirits and having a good time,
until we arrived at La Junta, (pronOunc-
ed La Haunta by the Mexicans) When
the train pulled into La Junta, we were
rived at the end of our journey, and were
ordered to alight. We stayed in La Jun
Ia until the train from the west arrived,
which we boarded and came back as far
as West Las Animas, where we are at the
present time. The ride from Emporia
was a pleasant one, the weather being
cool during the whole distance. Crops
along the line look well until yon get as
far as Newton, when corn begins to look
a great deal weaker than in either of the
other counties you pass through. We
passed Dodge City Saturday morning at
daylight. Here the crops look thin, and
in fact there is hardly anything in the
way of corn TO be seen. What there is
looks badly, and is not over six inches
to foot high. When we reached Hutch
inson we ran into fine rain, which con-
tinued to pour down until we reached
Dodge City; it was the first rain that had
fallen in that part of the country in six
months. From Dodge City there is
nothing TO be seen in the way of crops,
thus far on our journey, not even pOta-
to patch. All the vegetables there are at
this place come from Denver and Pueblo.
West Las Animas is situated about
four miles from Old Las Animas, and
was, while the terminus of the railroad,
Il lively town. Everything was rush
ing" and a good deal of killing was car
ried on. At the present time it is inhabit-
ed mostly by Mexicans and halfbreeds.
Very little business Is carried on here.
there being no patronage except that of
ranchers and cow-boys-the trade of the
latter going mostly into the gaming
rooms. All kinds of business is run
here on Sunday, and especially the
saloons on that day have large run.
Our company, including twenty-five
from Topeka-seventy-five in all-are
quartered at present at the Carpenter
hotel, which, by the way, is a good
house for western town. The propri-
etor is gentleman in every scnce of the
word, and he has done all in his power
to make the boys feel at home.
The weather today is fearfully warm,
the thermometer standing SO in the
shade. 1t was raining the day we came
in, and we were informed that it was
the first rain that had fallen in this coun-
try in about seven months, which by the
way, goes to show that whenever a crowd
Of Kansans go anywhere from home,
no matter how dry the country may be,
a rain will follow in less Than twenty
four hours.
But as this is getting rather lengthy
for the Little Daily" we will close
for the present, and if anything of any
Importance transpires we will endeavor
to let you know. JAY HAwKER

THE RAILROAD TROUBLE.

According to an article which we copy
from the Denver Tribune, to-day, there
Is an interesting state of affairs at Pue-
bio and other points on the Denver ~
Rio Grande railroad. The whole line is
in possession of a mob. RiOtOus demon
stratiOns,which will greatly injure traffic,
travel and business in the whole state,
have taken place at Pueblo and other
points, and ere this there may have been
blOodshed. This is an open and violent
refusal to let the A. T. & S. F. road con-
troll the property which has just been re-
stored To it from the Rio Grande COM
pany, after long contest. Nothing but
the prOmptest and most effective means
should be taken to learn men who resort
TO violence like this, that the law is SUI
preme in this country and must he sub
mitted to by all. There is no excuse for
the mob spirit which has all along been
the character of the Denver 81 Rio Grande
fight on the Santa Fe company, and We
hope, for the credit of Colorado, that
peaceable end to this trouble will soon
be reached

There is trouble between Topeka and
Wichita. A few days ago a report was
circulated over the state that the yellow
fever had broken out among the colored
refugees quartered in the capital city.
The report caused some alarm here, for
few hours, but we supposed it was bo-
gus and said nothing. About this time
dozen colored exodus folks were sent
10 Wichita by the state aid society. This
made the Wichita folks mad. The city
council was called together and means
raised to ship the exodus folks right back
TO Topeka. All but four, who lodged
the vigilance of the officers, were sent
back. The Eagle came out in slash
ing article dishing up Topeka and the
aid society in a savage manner Sun
days Commonwealth denies that there
was any excuse for Wichita acting the
way she did, and defends the action of
Topeka and the state society. There will
probably be no bones broken.

BONAFIDE CIRCULATION.

While we believe the law giving news
papers the right TO collect pay for all
copies which are taken out of post
office. or received anyway, a good and
necessary law in cases where subscribers
attempt to defraud the publisher, we
also believe it works great injustice in
cases where paper is sent Ia Il man or
to family without their having ordered
il. To send papers to people who have
not subscribed for them, and who take
them out of the post Office thinking they
are sent rs compliment" and then to
make them pay, simply because of a
legal technlcality. is a fraud that no re-
spectacle paper will commit. If man
takes paper out of the post Office for
only few weeks, whether he has
subscribed for it or not, lac becomes a
subscriber in a legal point of view,
and the paper is sent on to him after
that and pay collected for any length of
time, whether or not he refuses to lon ger
take il. This is brazen- faced swindle,
and while it has often been attempted
by INSCRIPTIONS publishers to fonce
their papers into circulation, we have
not known it TO have any permanent
success or any lengthy existence A paper
that people want they .take-a paper
they do not want they cannot long be
forced to take. The News is sent to
none but regular bona fide, and so far as
we can guard the matter, paying sub
scribers, and is emphatically the adver.

THE Wool MARKET-Maurer &,
Avery's Monthly Wool Circular tor July
says: The activity in the wool market.
which had continued since the first of
May, was checked by the large receipts
of woods during the latter part of June
and since then a reaction has occurred.
and trade is as quiet now as it was form
erly lively. The present depression is
felt most Oppressively by holders of fine
wool, for which there is no demand, and
our quotations are nominal. For medi-
UNI woods there has been more inquiry.
but sales are so small, compared with re-
ceipts, that holders have weakened and
prices are lower. CombIng and delaine
woods have not been sought for, and
prices are not fairly established. The
lack of demand for these woods has de-
erred many dealers from throwing them
out, and the result may be a scarcity be-
fore next clip, unless, as some contend.
the consumption is materially curtaiIed.
manufacturers are nov sufficiently stock
ed so that with the liberal supplies
to draw from they viii, during the next
few weeks, probably test the strength of
holders by meagfe purchases, or by
holding of altogether, until PRICES are
equalized between wool and woolens.

Superintendent Hill, of the New York,
Lake Erie and Western Railroad, had is
sued an order prohibiting "brakemen on
the trains flirting with young women
along the line of the road" An honest
old farmer addressed a letter of COM
plant to the Superintendent, stating that
the brakemen were accustomed to throw
kisses at his pretty daughter, and hence
the order. There is a possibility of such
temptations besetting some of our West
ern boys, and we mention the matter TO
put them on their guard.

by the scenes enacted. One old gentle
maa, who was accompanied by two
daughters, approached a man who APP
preached a man who appeared to be lead
ing the desperadoes, and offered him any
sum of money if he would disperse the
crowd. He was laughed at and jeered.
When the train came into Pueblo from
the South yesterday noon, the engineer
was confronted with three revolvers and
told to dismount- He did so. 1t was
then announced that the train would not
be allowed to proceed to Denver. The
train dispatcher Hardy, had been warned
not 10 show himself, and it is stated that
fearing his life left Pueblo in a team with
his family. Superintendent Borst, En-
gineer Robson and other officers were
ordered to leave the depot and did so,
going over to the north side. The mob,
then numbering near three hundred, was
in undisputed possession. Finally, after
blockade of four hours, Master Me-
chanic Hackney, of the Santa Fe, asked
conference with the ringleaders and
compromise was effected. 1t was agreed
that old Rio Grande men only were TO
operate the road at and below Pueblo, on
orders received through discharged Rio
Grande operators. That Rio Grande en-
gineers were to work the engines north
of Pueblo, and that Conductor Allendorf
was the only Santa Fe conductor who
could run passenger trains north of Pue-
bio, and that he could not go south. Mr..
Hackney acceeded as the only recourse,
and although Conductor -AllendOrf had
been ordered TO go south by the Santa
Fe, he was placed in charge of the north
bound train, and returning to Denver ar
rived here as stated at midnight.
The United States mails were in charge
Of fon TTnifaH &fatac HaplIfvr no
who had been ordered to guard the mail
upon information from the Santa Fe
officers. The marshals took charge some
where in Kansas. The above facts were
given by DISTINGUISHED parties who ar
rived from Pueblo last night, and so far
as any strangers word can go under per-
haps some excitement and grievance the
statements may be relied udon. Taken
altogether, the state of affairs as thus de-
picted is demoraliZing to the last degree,
and upon its contemplation where doubt
is not induced, an appeal for an arrest of
such high-handed proceedings, blot
ing out of such unlawful proceedings is
demanded. Power sufficient should be
invoked 10 quell the daring outrage.
Since the above was written the fol-
lowing special dispatch has been receiv-
ed:
