THE - aNsAs ZACH <ISik.
Now, while the people 81, -s.ing the
question Of the disposition OF the Kansas
Pacific Stock, would be a god time for our
County Commissioners to AXE some steps
toward compelling the Kansas Pacific road
to live up TO tie contract il made with us
at the time this stock was taken. We gave
our bonds 10 the K. p, to the amount of
$3.50, 900, on the express condition that
the line from Leaveuworth TO Lawrence
should be frst-class in every respect, ard
Kansas City. There isn't man in the
Kansas Pacific Company, or in the State o.
Kansas, who is such an idiot TO suppose
or pretend TO suppose, that ne Company
has ever for one moment lived up 10 its
contract with us, or has the remoest intcn-
ton of eve. living up to Its contract, unless
| the law can be Invoked TO the end OF COM
| pellipg it TO do SO. We have been cheated
| by railroads in good many instances, but
| this is one OF the greatest Of all the
wrongs thst have beeh practiced upon Us ::
in comparison with this the complaint,
| raised against the Kansas Central are but
as mole hill TO a mountain. II The people
want TO sgitate our railroad wrongs" to
| soue purpose, let them tu;n their attention
to the Kansas Pacific.
The distinguished attorney Of the kansas
Pacific, who has exhibited so much sympa-
thy for the poor tax payers Of Leavenworth
county, and has been 80 kind as 10 show US
how we can recover from the Kansas Cen
trial because Of its partial failure TO comply
with the terms of its contract. will no doubt
aid US by advising his company TO abandon
the policy which it has thus far pursued, of
utterly disregardins all the conditions of
its contract. And even if he will not agree
to help us, since he has shown us so plainly
what course We ought TO pursue toward the
Kansas Central because CT its partial fail
ure to live up TO its agreement, can we not
make use of the came able counsel in pro-
cesding against the Kansas Pacific, which
has never pretended or attempted to live
up to any important feature of its contract
The Kansas Pacific is the point thst Ie-
quires our attention. Compared with the
wrong that has been practrced upon US in
this case, the other sinks into I'M gnifcance,
and when the Learned counsel Of that cor
porstion voluntarily extends to us his sym
patty for the great wrongs We have suffer
ed at the h,nds of the X .nsas Central, and
points out to Us the course We should pur-
sue IN seeking redress, he is simply throw
ing dust in OUT eyes to blind US TO the far
grester wrongs prac!iced upon US by his
own cnupapy

AYERS CArHARTIc Pills are the best Ct
all purgatives for family use. They are the
product of long, lsborious and successful
chemical investigation, and their extensive
use BY physicians in their practice, and BY
all civilized nations proves them the best
and most effective Purgative Pill that med.
ical scier &c can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their use.
In intrinsic value and curative powers no
olher Pills can compare with them, and
every person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them when needed. They keep
the syster, in perfect order. and maintain
IN healthy action the whole machinery
of life. Mild, searching and effectual, they
are especially adapted to the digestive APP
paratus, arrangements of which they pre-
vent and cure, if timely taken. They are

children and weakened constitutions,
