TAKE NOTICE.

We want To urge again upon the peO-
pie Of Lyon county the conviction we
have that this is u good time 10 sell our
Missouri Pacific formerly NJ. X. s. r.
railroad stack and also Ia refund the bal
ance of our railroad debt AT lower rate
of interest. We have no interest in the
matter other than that of taxpayer.
We are speaking only for ourselves, and
not ON the advice or suggestion OF any
person or persons. We have observed
the ups and downs OF bust
ness, and all know that we
are now having good times. Money
is plenty, but it will not always remain
So This is period of speculation, and
railroad and other stocks are at specu-
lative prices. We believe it is good
time To sell railroad stocks. On this
point we will quote sentence or two
from the New York Mercantile Journal,
which is high authority on stock and
money matters, and we want our Lyon
county readers 10 make q note of Its ut
teranccs. Speaking of stocks it says:
"IIailroad bonds are still farther a lit
tie off for most of the speculatives, while
the share market continues 'bluish.' II
not deep blue for the bulls. The
days for O tumble, however, have not yet
come. One reason is that outside orders
and many of them, from across the wa
ter, are ready for the purchase OF stocks
whenever they yield little. This Is the
fashion, and so long as such remains the
case there can be no rush pell-mell
downward. But the day IS only some
IoltGt deferred"
We believe our stock is liable to de-
cline at any time. A mere change in
the management OF the road might send
il down 10, % or even so per cent, and
we may thus be compelled To go on pay
ing at least $1,000 railroad interest per
year, which we could now stop. If the
stock declines It is not likely it would
again come up to its present figure be-
fore the expiration of ten years,
and we would in that time
have to pay $4,000 for the privilege
of holding on to our stock. We men,
toned in former article the fact that

board of commissioners by the two roads
running through the county, to surren-
der $500, 600 in bonds for the $4OO, 900 OF
stock held by the county. In some I'M
fortunate mood, the commissioners re.
jected the proposition, and since then
the people have paid in interest alone on
the 5000, 900 of bonds that would have
been taken up had the proposition been
accepted, the snug sum of $154 900.
If the stock in the Missouri Pacific
could be sold ut the present quotations
in New York, which is 5l56 cents on
the dollar, and 100000 in bonds pur.
chased, and the balance of the railroad
debt refunded at five per cent, our rail-
road tax would be a mere song compared
with what It has been. With this done
instead of raising tax of $17, 430, for
interest, We would only be required to
raise 81, 45O, an annual saving of $3.50.
This amount is certainly worth saving.
If these two things were done our debt
would be in good shape, and could be
carried until the county is rich enough
to pay 1t without serious Inconvenience.

Council Grove Republican. June II:
About 4 O'Clock this morning our quiet
citizens were aroused by the fire at the
court house, and upon an immediate re-
Spouse thereto We found a first class fire
issuing out of the windows on the north
side of the building and in the rooms
occupied by the register of deeds, county
superintendent OF pnhlic Instruction and
the county attorney, and from the door
OF the recorders Office the hall was full
Of fire and smoke. In a few minutes there
were two or three hundred people on the
ground with b0ckets who kept a con-
slant stream ,of water on the fire for
about three quarters of an hour. With
such energy did the people work that
they got complete control Of the fiend
and saved the court house, it is true in q
damaged condition. The important
records Of the registers Office were saved
in the vault, but those of the county su-
perintendent's office was total loss; all
other records were saved in q some
what damaged condition. The damage
done to the building and other property
is about $4,000. There 10 no doubt but
thai is was the work OF an iaceHdiary
County Attorney Miller lost all his H.
brary and the papers Of bis office.

ENFORCING THE AMENDMENr.

The first case for violation of the pro-
hibitory law at Parsons, was tried last
Saturday evening, and the jury, after
being out an hour, brought in a verdict
of guilty, and the offender, one Marvin,
lessee of the bar at the Belmont House.
was fined 800 and costs of prosecution.
Proceedings will be instituted against
several other salOOnists who have opened
their bars in defiance of law, and the
same result is anticipated in their cases.
An exchange quite recently observed
that the disregard of law manifested by
the whisky element in Kansas would re-
act TO the prejudice of the rum-sellers,
and the case in point seems to
indicate the position of ourcOtempOrary
was well taken. There are few towns
in Kansas which care To sustain the I'M
savOry reputation of having such low
public sentiment as TO tolerate, without
at least the semblance of protest, an
open and insOlent defiance of the Or
ganic and statutory law of the CON-
mOnwealth, by an element which directs
its baleful forces against the best inter-
ests OF society and of political economy.
Parsons, by her action in this matter,
has placed herself in light before the
public which cannot fail TO inure to her
great benefit, in that she has demon
strated the possession of q healthy con-
ditiOn of moral sentiment which affords
warrant that the interests of law and
order will be conserved In that city to
the honor and security of the COM
munity.
1t can scarcely be deemed a source of
pride by such towns as Leavenworth,
Atchison and Wichita TO be ranked with
Dodge City in connection with their al
legged open violation of the prohibitory
law. and unless the condition of affairs
in those towns has boon greatly misrep-
resented, they are not promoting q rep
utation abroad as centers TO which the
best class of immigrants to Kansas
would be attracted. The temperance
amendment was made part of the or
ganic law of the state by fair majority
of its voters, and we are not prepared to
believe that the people Of Kansas have
become so lost to the grand traditions
upon which the commonwealth was
founded as to be placed in the position
of a state which shamelessly repudlates
law enacted by the sovereign authority
of the common people.
Ifthe press of Kansas prove not recre-
ant to its high calling; if the pulpit is
true TO its sacred trust in connection
with this great moral problem. and if
the citizens of the state do not stultify
themselves by sacrificing the golden re-
suits of years of faithful striving in be-
half of great and vital principle, the
amendment will be enforced in spirit as
well as in letter, and the honor of Kan
sas will be abundantly indicated before
the world.

HOME AGAIN.

Senator Plumb returned from Wash
ingtOn Sunday, where he has been
arduously engaged in his public duties
for over six months. We venture the
assertion that no state has more indus
trious representative in the national
capital than Kansas has in the person
of Senator Plumb. He remained in
Washington for several weeks after the
adjournment of tho senate to attend to
Kansas matters needing his services.
Among the latest achievements of the
Kansas delegation, in which the Senator
took n leading part, was the appoint
mcnt of Judge Mcfarland, as
Commissioner of the general land
office, thus securing for this important
position not only western man, who is
acquainted with the interests and strug-
giles of the settlers, but for Kansas posi-
ton at the head of an important depart
ment bureau, which Is n recognition not
heretofore enjoyed.

less than five hundred rliles-thc oppos-
ing storm winds were already meeting
and sharply marked by thermal fiGer-
ence of 90 degrees. II seems highly
probable That the enormous progressive
violence of these western disturb
ances is due TO the fact that
the air currents Of the Mississippi val
ley, in which they are imbedded, be-
come laterally compressed, the c.,mprcs-
SION having the same effect in increas-
ing their velocity that contraction be
tween banks has on the ocean current
(Which in the case of the Gulf Stream
when pressed on by the Arctic current
Off Cape Hatteras, is 10 more than double
its previous rate). AS these interfering
air streams arc traccablc on the weather
maps, there should be no insuperable
difficulty ia foreseeing the results of
their conflict when the reporting tele-
graphic weather stations arc multiplied,
as they should lie in the tOrnadOvisited
districts.

A THEORY REGARDING WEST

New York Herald: Though the tor
nado season in the Mississippi Valley
has been belated this year the reports of
the recent western storms attest its
arrival In full force. The: destructive
whirl winds Of Saturday and Sunday last
in Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa and Kan

columns on the 9Th of May, that, though
the tornadoes were late in coming, "the
opening summer may be more marked
by the disastrous visiiatiOns, especially
in the West" Their recent Eruption
on, the plains was due to the con-
fiict between the rival warm and cold
air currents of passing deep storm

Grants Trouble in Mexico.

New YORK, June 20.-SpeakIng to a
World reporter of his last trip TO Mex
leo and its results, Gen. Grant said
when went there found some parties
had been very busy trying to prejudice
the President and congress against me
and our enterprise. A great many arti-
cles were published in the newspapers
here, and they were published there.
Possibly some of them were tclegraphcd
from there for the purpose of being sent
there afterwards to make an appearance
there as representing the views of the
American people. These statements
were to the effect that l was not there in
the interest of any railroad, but had
really come as L filibustcrer, looking
forward to the invasion and annexation
of that country. These statements had
been very lndustriously circulated be-
fore my arrival, and they had produced
some effect, and particularly upon
the mind of the Priest, who admitted he
was sorry to hear we were coming to the
City of Mexico, owing to what people
had told him of our mission here, but as
soon as we had an interview with him
and explained matters. and Romero told
him what he had been doing and report
ed what we were doing, he ut once saw
the error he had been led into and his
confidence in us and our enterprise was
fixed at once on a firm basis, and we
counted upon him as sincere and de-
voted friend from that time on.
