Kansas, was recently taken to Topeka to
answer to the charge of being a default

Speaking of the salt wells in Sumne
county the Wellington Press says
Here in Sumner country is the riches
and purest brine known to civilized man
The supply thereof is inexhaustible
Its manufacture has been taken in hanC
by men who understand the business ant
have sufficient capital to prosecute til
work. 1t is within easy reach of railroad
transportation and can supply all thi
western country with batter and cheape
salt than can be obtained from the east
1t is no idle boast to say that Salt City
Sumner county, Kansas, will soon Out
rival all competitors in the manufactur
of salt
A wheat expert from st. Louis ina
just been over Sedgwick county, til
Eagle says, and reports a promisin
yield which will average 1719 bushel
per acre. The county has in 1OO,O3
acres of wheat, which at 171s per acr
would give total crop of 1880 SO
bushels. The Eagle has it 1,755, 945, a
error of only $3.50 bushels in favor c
the county, which is remarkably clos
figuring for that paper. The Eagl
thinks that making due allowance fo
losses from wet weather, etc., sedgwic1
county may be safely set down for
yield of 100000 bushels of whea
which at 20 cents per bushel, woul
bring to the farmers $950,OO0.
The Kansas State Musical Jubilee, t
be held at Bismarck on the 18th an
10Th of August, will doubtless prove tn
grandest affair of the kind in the hi!
tory of Kansas orthis part of the grea
west. Professor G. E. Leslie OIL
ganized at Lawrence last week a choru
of over 500 voices which will be subjec
ed to thorough drill from now until til
time of the jubilee. The professor ha
with him in the state twenty-eight prC
fessional teachers who will assist him
organizing and conducting the musica
congress, and every town in the state {
one thousand inhabitants and over wi
be visited with a view to formin
choruses to be placed under trainin
until the time of coming together for
! general rehearsal the day and evenin
before the opening of the jubilee.
Twenty eight towns in the state hav
been canvassed, and nearly four thor
sand voices have been enrolled, wit
fully one-half of the state still to hea
from. 1t is said that the full choru
will be the largest ever seated on a stag
in the west, and the opening number,
selection from the opera of Errnan
will be rendered by over 5000 voices
Accommodations are being prepared 70
100000 people, and as the event will b
one which is bound to advance the reT
utation of Kansas in the musical world
we hope to see Emporia handsomel
represented and her excellent musica
talent made to contribute 10 the success
of such a mOmenteous epoch in tn
annals of the state.
