KAW LAND.

For the benefit of Keno" the Ameri-
Gus correspondent of THE EMPORIA
NEWS, and number of other equally
anxious worthless, we will repeat the al
ready published announcement that Sep
TENDER LIST is the date fixed for opening
the Kaw Indian lands for entry at the
land office in Topeka. From and after
that date evidence may be presented
showing the occupying claimants right
To purchase under the act of congress,
governed by such instructions as may be
issued from the interior department.
Settlers who have had their lands award
ed to them by the recent commission,
and against whose rights there are no
contestants, will experience little or no
inconvenience i'll making their entry and
paving their first installnent. In cases
of contest evidence will be required of
the priority of the claimants settlement,
and that said settler intends to become a
bona tide owner and resident in good faith
on the land claimed. At least ninety
days will be given from September LIST,
in which TO make entries and hear rival
claimants, if indeed the lands are not left
open to entry indefinitely. The infor-
nation upon which our assertions are
based was received from Senator Plumb
and Hon. Thomas Ryan.-Council Grove

KALLOCH SHOT.


The most startling head line in to-
days paper is that conveying the intelli-
gence of the shooting of 1. S. Kalloch,
formerly of Kansas" but now of San
Francisco, California. The reason for
the deed of violence is given IN the dis
patches. Kalloch, it will be remember
ed, was some weeks ago nominated as
the candidate of the so-called Working
mems party for mayor of San Francisco,
and the shooting was the result of the
bitter personal warfare that ensued. We
regret that Mr.. X. has met with this I'M
fortunate turn in his career. What he
ought to have done was to keep entirely
out of politics and attend to his preach
ing. He was an able man and good
preacher, when he tried to be. In pol
itics he always stopped to conquer
but never conquered except to get into
the legislature once. He was always a
thorough demagogue. His nomination
as workingman's candidate simply
brought ridicule upon the cause. He
never did days work in his life, his
hands were as soft Us those of any lady
and he never even sympathised with
workingmen. His pretenses in this di
rection were all for Office. He always
had an itching for Office and was ready
to do anything to get it. He hoped hC
could ride into power on that popular
bubble in San Francisco. If he live.
his being shot will probably help HIN
TO be elected. Nobody will be sold
more over his success than the Ia
boring people. But we hope Mr.. X
will recover, and yet turn his attention
earnestly to life of good. We shall re
greet exceedingly to hear of his death.

THE LAST DITCH.

We don't see as there is anything left
for the Kansas Greenbackers to do now
put TO support Sam Wood. OF course,
that is a great and patriotic duty. II
they don't support him some unfortun-
ate school district will have to do it, so
they will please send in their contribu-
tions and keep him going. We hope
they will be right lively about it, for we
are awfully afraid the old dIrty-faced
fraud will soon want to come back to
the Republican party.

THERE'S THE RUB.-Dirty-faced Sam
Wood was in town Tuesday for the pur-
pose of making his same old three hour
harangue to the Greenbackers. He
paved the air with his dirty fingers,
shook his uncombed head at the empty
benches, and beloved like a yearling
bull in fly time, until his audience got
tired and went home. He is probably
there vet, unless some kind friend has
taken the trouble to invite him TO free
lunch. Sam can eat more grub, do
more bowling, issue more fiat" money,
and pay off the national debt quicker,
than any other man in America. But
