DEAR SIR: After considerable correspon-
Ience I have succeeded in securing a very
fair estimate of the average weight of each
years wheat crop in Kansas from 1876 to
1888 inclusive. My sources of information
are Touring mills and elevators in various
sections of the State, opinions of individu-
ais and statement from the Secretary of
Kansas City Board of Trade. The figures
of 1883 are based principally upon receipts

1em DIsraeM Would Have lad London.


One of Disraeli's favorite ideas was
that London ought to be made the
most magnificent city in the worlds
real KaiserStadt or imperial town. a
model to all other cities in the character
of its public buildings, the sanitary per
lection and outer picturesqueness of its
private houses, the width of its streets,
etc. When Napoleon III. commenced
the re-edifcation of Paris he used to
say: els 1t not pitiful that the Emperor
should be doing by force what we could
do so much better of our own free will
If we had a proper pride, to say nothing
of good sense, in the matter?'' He
found many congenial listeners, and one
In particular, Mr.. Baltic Coehrane, now
Lord Harrington (the Buckhurst of
''Coningsby, y } whose artistic tastes are
well known. But he was generally met
by some such theories as satisfied the
Aylesbury tradesman, or by talk about
that eternal want of peace which vexes
public men. Once when he was staying
at Knole he launched out into parody
of Macaulay's idea of the New Zea-
lander meditating over the ruins of
London Bridge. He imagined this per-
sonage reconstructing a row of villas at
BriXton: ''What p picture he would
make of it; he would naturally suppose
that knowing how to build, and having
Just awo.en to q knowledge of santa
ton, we had built according to the best
ideas in our heads" Then he took his
New Zealander among the ruins of the
stately commercial palaces crowded
in narrow lanes all round the Bank and
the Exchange: He would conclude
that there must after all have been
some tyrannical laws which prevented
our merchants from combining their re-
sources to make their streets spacious
and effective, for it would seem absurd
to him that intelligent men should, at a
great cost, have built palaces for them
selves in holes and corners where nobody
could admire them properly, when, by
acting in concert, they might at much
less expense have set much finer palaces
in noble avenues, courts and squares. "
Then Disraeh broke out into an ami
mated description of his regenerate
London, with Wren's four grand APP
prOaches to st. PauI'S, bouleYards tran
Secting the metropolis in all directions,
and the palace of Whitehall rebuilt
after lingo Jones' designs to make new

memorials to all the humble heroes,
sailors or fishermen, who lost their lives
performing acts of courage on the wa
ter. 1.-The names of such men ought
not to perish, - he used to say. When
he had finished speaking somebody OBJ

War Among the Cattle Men.

Il
For some time considerable trouble has
been created between Andy Wilson, the
great cattle king of Kansas, and Howard
M. Holden, banker of Kansas City, who
has furnished money to Wilson with which
to conduct his vast business. Holden re-
Gently foreclosed mortgage Of 100000 on
the stock owned by Wilson. Upon the
trial of the case it was shown that a portion
of the property levied upon by the Holden
interest was not Wilson's but belonged to
another cattle man in the same vicinity
named Westley Edwards. Edwards re-
covered the property from the United
States Marshal, and has been taking care
of it in his corral for several weeks. Last
night Wilson and his men broke into the
corral and drove ninety-fve head of cattle
and forty-eight horses, taking them to Will
sons farm, near Kingville, this county.
As soon as Edwards discovered the loss
and ascertained the whereabouts of the
stock he went to Wilson and demanded the
property, but Wilson declined to give it
up, saying it was his and he would hold it at
all hazards. Edwards came to this city to-
day and swore out a search warrant, which
was placed in the hands of the Sheriff.
The Sheriff proceeded to Kingville at once,
but on investigation found that the Wilson
corral was guarded by about twenty armed
men in the employ of Wilson. He was un-
able to enforce the warrant and returned to
Topeka to await the further orders of the
authorities. Serious trouble is imminent,
