THE CHAMPIONS CONGRESSIONAL APP0R-
TIOEMENT.

This winter a new congressional apportioh-
mont of Kansas will be made. The State
will be divided into seven districts. The
present apportionment, dividing the state
into three districts, was in pursuance OF
bin introduced into the State Senate by the
editor of the EAGLE. His idea was to ar
range a fair apportionment and at the same
time give Southwestern Kansas district
which could be controlled by the Arkansas
Valley. The bill, as originally introduced,
nut Wyandotte in the First district and
shawnee in the Second. There were thir-
teen other bills and success could only be en-
compassed by outing of Wyandotte and
trking in Shawnee.
The Atchison Champion already has com
meneed TO figure on the new apportionmenf
1t makes Up seven very compact Republican
districts. of about 142 900 population each
VARYING but Two or three thousand either
way. Besides, tn, districts are made up with
reference to a community Of interests. The
smallest district is composed seven counties
and takes in the cities of Leayenworth, wy
andotte. Topeka and Lawrence-iour. big
cal centers. The Seventh district is COM
posed of twenty-nine counties, one of which
is sedgwick; but twelve OF these counties
are unorgauized Congressman Ryan and
Haskell are, by this arrangement, put into
one district. and Morrill, and Anderson INTO
another. II will be said no attention should
be paid TO such a result, but there VIII be,
Tor the reason that the State will not want
TO lose the services of either of these old ana
experienced Congressman. The Chdfnpio"
thinks its its work cannot well be bettered,
in the main; but we feel sure that it viii be
badly mutilated in some respects. LeaNen-
worth, Lawrence, Wyandotte and Topeka
viii never consent TO be pocketed, leaving
Atchison the sole mistress Of district oil
her own. As 10 this portion of the State,
our senators and representatives viii take
care that our district don't reach to the CEN

THE KINGMAN SENSATION.

HUTCHINSON, December 11.-Detective e.
L. Williams of the Pinkerton force, came in

he heard people running in and out all night,
and at one time he became so alarmed at the
unusual conduct OF the inmates of the house
that he got out his revolver aud prepared for
an attack. Carr presents logged silence,
and when confronted by Williams with the
charge of numbering Sprowles betrayed eve
ry sign of guilt. Carr is church-going

their extensive use, by physicians i'll

Democrats in dealing with the tariff. The
plank is transparently non-committal:

meet the actual needs, and so adjusted in its
details with a view TO equality in public
burdens as TO encourage productive indus
tries and afford labor just compensation

Owing to the land frauds of startling mag

General Land Office has issued an order sus-
pending all cash entries made by single men

in the counties of Sumner. Harper, kingman
