picking my teeth to solace them for what
they hadn't had, observed two mysteri-

Judge of my surprise, at that early hour,
to find Tom Brooks, of the reportorial
staff of the Kansas City Daily Times, and
Sam Dean of the editorial crutch of the
Kansas City Daily Journal. "Mornin',

phere is ours" says l, "adding, "Gi'n
me wiggler, and I'll make Gallilean
surfeit in the fish market" "We're not
fishing" said they. Look at our uni
forms; we're on duty and out for Missou-
ri river ioaters." Sure enough,
each had canoe, spy-glass,
graphing hooks, pike poles, rubber per-
spirers and medicine chest, with differ
ent colored rockets and sky bombs,
to telegraph their general offices infor-
nation when ''one more unfortunate"
came whirling down the current or idling
among the sandbars.
ooh, you better stick stakes and settle
down in Kaw City, Jackson" says they,
"goln' to be bigger than London, New
York, st. Louis or Chicagger, or any

New Mexico; here all the wealth
of the nations takes trans-contlnental
lunch; commerce feeds us from the East
and breadstuffs from the West; the Mis-

With but Jew exceptions all. our larger
commercial cities have pitched upon
their own location, the elimination of
which chance proceedings happened
when Chicago planted itself in swamp.
In 1854 the pioneers to this section,
pitched upon Whandotte for the metrop-
oils, which rightly, in their estimation,
was "bound to come" But to the finan-
cial ruin of most of them, the city skipped
to the opposite Missouri hills and bot
toms, which were then held to be of very
insignificant value. One of these first en-
1grants and city-site spectators, a Maine
man, formerly a partner of both Jordan
and Marsh, of the great dry goods house
of Boston, and also one of the Jurors
who convicted DR.. Webster of the
murder of Parkman, ian old time
Boston horror,) after his failure
here went to Kentucky, where he par
tally recovered his fortunes at tobacco
farming.
This gentleman was on visit to Wy
andotte after anyabsence OF twelve years,
and as sat on the veranda of the GarnO
house, listening to him and few of the
older inhabitants IN their "reminiscences
of pioneer days, in which vigilance COM
mittees, hangings, assasslnations and
murders quite largely figured, 1 must
have had a sensation like the two dogs,
who, when a stranger happened to sneeze
in their masters parlor, inquiringly
looked one to the other, and finally, each
thinking himself guilty of some mex
plicable and objectionable improperly,
vacated the room through an open win
dow with surprising agility.
Two of the vigilance committee; two
men, lone pro and the other anti slavery
who had been shot down in ambuscade
and brought into this hotel for dead; one
chap, who in the olden time had come
over from Missouri to look for stolen
horses, and who had been thrice hanged
and cut down; four acknowledged horse
thieves, and two gents who had shot down
their adversaries in the Wyandotte streets
were all telling of their several exploits
with infinite glee, egged on in their hair
Strengthening narratives by good-natured
visiting brother Bartlett, who by his gen
uine Yankee cuteness had escaped having
Inc jacet written above his head in these
perilousd days of early territorial settle
ment.
