FAILED,

The proposition to subscribe stock and Is
sue bonds in aid Of the constructions of thu
Fort Scott & Wichita railway failed in Payne
township last Monday, the vote being q tie
We cannot view the action Of that people
but as unfortunate, not to say short sighted
from every. possible consideration. The
company is offered, rs is well known, ter
thousand dollars more to 90 from Eldorado
to Newton than was asked to come TO Tich.
ita. Wichita, which gets no road bed for
taxable purposes, agreed to meet nearly two
thirds Of the amount necessary 10 insure the
construction OF the road, believing that
twelve miles Of territory, OF two townships,
would meet the other third without a qucs.
ton. Wichita township carried their por.
ton Of the proposition overwhelmingly.
We saw Mr.. Hill yesterday, and in answer
to our query as to what he should DO, he said
be could do nothing further than carry out
the instructions of the directors, which was
in case of a failure to carry the bonds to
make an immediate survey of the line from
fhe surveyors on Tuesday. In the mean
time, Mr.. Hill will call meeting Of the d.
rectors at Fort Scott. What the result will
be is hard to tell. Our people did not 90 out
to Payne township TO argue The proposition
in any great numbers simply because of a
fear Of prejudicing the case. Besides the
amount OF railway, Payne was TO get depot
near the center OF the township. Mr.. Hill
says he entered into a written agreement
with that township TO forfeit the bonds II
the road went south Of the agreed and de-
sired line. We suggested that he resubmit
the proposition, but Mr.. ii said it was not
In his power to do so in the absence of in
structions from the board of directors. He
left for Fl. Scott yesterday.

At this the Rev. Mr.. Kelly got up and de-
nounced the Atchison ministers. He had lef,
his flock in the wilderness Of Wichita, and
he thought the Atchsion ministers could do
az much, and SO on. Rev. Mr.. Kelly means
well, but his manners are bad.-Corrsspon.
dent AfcAison Champion.
The above alludes to an episode in the late
State Temperance Convention at Topeka.
The Atchison ministers lacked the necessary
sand to follow Governor Click over to the
capital and attack him In his strong hold,
and DIR. Kelly simply. in his straight for
ward, bold way, told the convention what
the trouble was with the Atchison preachers
and, OF course, they don't admire his man.
ners. II DR.. Kelly could be stationed in
Atchison or Topeka about year, there
would be less blind conservatism on the
part of the pulpits OF those whisky ridden
cities.

seems, has some bottom and may force thing,

BILE arises from "a decision of former con-
missioner, who instead OF designating the
lands in controversy, as government lands "

that the following, ii true, ought to about
settle the state of affairs. From this il ap.
pears that while there is no law against oc.

powers TO settlers. But let others read for
themselves:
Upon numerous applications Senator Cock
rell wrote to the Interior Department to
know IL u strip of land l65 miles long. and
30 wide, west Of the territory, north of Tex.
as and south of Colorado and Kansas, was
open to settlers The Land Commissioner
says he knows no reason why the land may
not be considered subject to settlement. but
it is not as yet subject to filing and entry.
Secretary Teller says be does not believe any
title can he conveyed, under the existing
law, by the occupants OF the land referred
to, and that there il no machinery under
the law by which any rights can be secured
to those who make settlement within that
tract Of territory.

the Tunes We will state the fact that there
are more trees on one avenue in Wichita
than In all the city Of Eidorado. On the
property along the two sides Of Lawrence

in this city, there are eight thousand four
hundred growing trees. Along the side walks
OF that same avenue, between the same
points, there are growing nearly one thou
sand trees, many OF which reach a height Of
from fifty TO eighty feet.

Opera House, last Thursday night, proved
one Of the attractions of the season. IL
looked as il half the town were interested
in the success OF the entertainment. the
main floor and galleries being filed with old

happiness OF the little folks. The picture
on the stage, with Miss NJ. as the central
figure, was n very bright and lively one.
Fifty or sixty little people ranging from five
up to twelve years, dressed in strict charac-
ter costumes, made up for the most part
with aesthetic taste and fidelity to ideal
model, presented a scene at once novel and
entertaining. George Washington, knights,
Marquises princesses, and high born ladies,
in stately minuett; Newport scarf dance,
Highland Fling, and all little mites of hui

brilliant lights, made vivid show. We
