A telegram was received from Hon. Thos.
Ryan Saturday evening that the Wichita
court bill had passed the House, which news
was received with great satisfaction by our
people. Mr.. Ryan succeeded in getting the
bill through the House jast before the last
Congress adjourned but it did not have time
to reach the Senate. IL had TO be reiniro-

committee and again passed. As Congress
will not adjourn Tor a ioOg time our Senator's

the daily Tiuss announces the withdrawal
of Judge Campbell from that institution.
Mr.. Shelton becomes again sole proprietor
and will continue to do the editorial work.
Judge Campbell will devote his whole time
to his profession, retaining, we fear no very
favorable opinion of the haphazard and ycx-
atious warfare. the complex duties and un-
reasonable demands, the thankless work and
unappreciated efforts, pertaining to the life
of an editor. To the general public such
life is filed with bright shifts of fortune and
sunshine, with added consciousness of the
cehsor's sceptre. Unfortunately there is the
neither rs well as the upper mill stone, be-
tween which editors must forever be ground;
the opposing influences of church and State,
morality and immortality, temperance and in
temperance, radicalism and liberalism, the
enterprising and the conservative, the parti-
san. and the citizen, the fortunate and the
unfortunate, the evenly balanced and the
crank, all opposing influences ever persistent
and never ceasing, at all hours and in every
conceivable place, to which every secular
writer must prove himself superior in one

Allusion was made last week in the old set
tiers programme 10 some verses recitcd By
Maud English, little girl born In this city
The verses were hastily written by her faith
err, n. A. English, but they contain so much
personal history and mention that we asked
Mr.. L. for them. lie remarked that hi
had not refused them to any paper, further
than TO casually remark TO the committee on
programme that he hardly thought then
worth publishing. But we think otherwise
In eighteen hundred and sixty-ninc,
Near mouth Of Little Arkansaw--
II I'm not mistaken in the time
Sprung into life, young Wichita.
think that could almost name,
With but little time or labor,
Every one who lived here then,
Each did know his neighbor.
Our tables were supplied, those days,
With variety of dishes:
Buffalo meat and antelope,
And the little river fishes.
We didn't have all the nick.nacks,
Like toney folks do now days;
But tended to our own Affairs,
And SO were happy always.
Some lived in houses made of sod,
We had to build them as we could;
For floors, we ievelied off the ground;
The roofs we made of brush and mud.
Some would think they couldn't have lived
As we did on the Arkansaw.
You bet we did, and here we are,
The fathers OF old Wichita.
Henry Vigus, then, was landlord
OF the Hotel de Stockade;
You may talk of Lane and Lark Moore
He threw them in the shade.
And many weary traveller,
Found bread and rest beneath the clay,
OF which this hotel roof was made;
The glory and pride OF her day.
Lewellyn run grocery store.
And Greihenstein dry goods store.
The men that run the stock exchange
Was Ohmet and John de Amore.
franklin Wright had -four store,
And William Smith run a saw-mill;
Among our nearest farmers were
Waterman and Charley Hill.
Aud there was Hubbard and Matsel,
Who were engaged in selling goods;
While Little Smith and others, were
Growing rich by chopping wood.
Gifiords, Hoovers, Folks and Elders,
A.. r., Al,
While LedforI and his cut-throat gang,
Lived on the knife and firearms.
Greiflenstein and Judge Greenway,
Among other goods, sold Indian beads;
And SO did William Matthewson,
George NanTilburg and James r. Mead.
Judge Riggs taught us statute law,
And Hilton preached spiritual birth.
His church walls were cottonwood posts;
The roof was made of poles and earth.
Among our leading men were Steele.
Waterman and Doctor Greenlee,
Meaghers. MuDgers, Sayies, Hunters,
Harry Nantrees and Dan Cohee,
Schattners, Fitzgeralds, Abbotts, letters,
The Suliyans aud Lonsburys,
Elders. Jordans. Burns and Aldrich,
And Doe Black, who run the ferry.
Clarks and Aliens Goodyears, Halls,

A NEW DEPARTURE.
A Move that vitality interests Every Tax Fay
er in Sedgwiek County.


The board OF assessors OF Sedgwick coun-
ty, in session ON Monday last. for the pur-
pose of fixing upon an equitable and uniform
basis of valuation for purposes Of assessment,
made a new departure. On motion of VIM.
Green all previous action was rescinded and
the assessors instructed 10 assess all proper
ty at its actual cash value as provided by
statute. II was further resolved that officers
assess everything in the form Of property
contact with, at its actual market value. Mr.
II. L Lawrence was president of the board
and Z. 7. Thompson, secretary.
This is very radical change from the old
basis and from the one generally adopted
throughout the State, and that it will deyel-
op some unlooked-for phases. we have no
doubt. II is the true policy, but how it will
work in the case OF single county, with the
entire State sticking TO the old basis remains
TO be seen. The county commissioners and
assessors claim, and with the best of grounds,
that so much property escapes an equitable
taxation that the time has come to make some
move. Under the old rule such property as
fourth to one third cash valuation. Our
county rolls figured up last year something
over three million dollars; under the rule
adopted it will assess not less than twelve
millions. Wichita will be compelled to pay
more taxes. in our Judgment. than hereto
fore. to the county and TO the State. but ii
strikes the town In a much wider sense.
Under the law she can raise for city and
school purposes only given per cent. on re-
turned valuation. Under the new rule her
authorities can raise at least four times as
much money out of the pockets of property
holders as heretofore. There is another
phase OF the question. and that Is the rail
roads. VIII they pay upon this greater ya;u-
alton, and will the State board of equaliza-
ton recognize and act in harmony with such
valuation. II they should not
the result would be grieyous burthen. We
hope our assessors have made no mistake.
but we opine there is chance for trouble,
grumbling and dissatisfaction. OF course,
every taxpayer will understand that this
raising of the assessment docs not necessari-
ly increase the sum total of taxes 10 be raised
in the county as county, il simply increases
the valuation aud decreases the per cent. OF
levy: nevertheless it affords the opportunity
to local governments of the city, and Of the
townships, and school districts, to increase
bonded or other Indebtedness.

The Wichita Mound nursery is better pre-
pared than ever before to furnish home
grown stock. And farmers make great mis-
take when they purchase fruit trees from
agents of foreign nurseries, when they can
buy home grown trees from first-cass nur-
sery, and responsible firm. The death Of
}. II. Sturns, who has been at the head of
the Mound nursery, will make no difference
in the future conduct OF the business, as it
will be conducted by brother, who has, in
fact, superintendent it for several years.
Then don't be misled by travelling fruit tree
peddlers of foreign high-sounding named
nurseries, who carry around specimens of
fruit in magnifying glass bottles, but buy
your trees from the Mound nursery. which
you can select yourself, and plant the same
day they are taken up, and are warranted
