The Dodge House has undergone a great
change in lite exterior and interior. The
house is newly painted and papered, large
addition has been made to the house, and
thorough renovation throughout. Geo. B.
Cox, the proprietor, has been at considerable
expense in making these changes, and he
will certainly secure large share of the
public favor. Prof. LyBrand is in the office
of this popular house, and is always ready
to accommodate the guests of the house.
The many modern Improvements in this

his country. A suit of American and Arabi-
an mixed is novel style. The Arab is an
uncommon visitor in this desert wild, and
particular mention of our late visitor may
prove interesting. The circumstance which
occasions this short notice is not out of the
ordinary channel in which the majority of
the human family runs. The people are
grateful and generous, bu. We are recording
an unexsmplsd degree Of benevolence and
kindness. The Afri'an climate of Arabia
gives the native dark skin, and this one
perhaps more humble than the rest, is the
mark of recognition never even enjoyed
by the celebrated American tramp-a pur.
chased ride on the great American iron rail,
and thoroughfare. The disciple of Me.
bemet can close bis revengeful NAV, if he is
imbued with the characteristics of his race,
and kindle the spark of humanity within.
and on Koran thank the God that he wor-
shipe, that America is the land of the free,
and the home Of the 6rave,-for generous
man is q brave man. And the Arab quietly
folded his tent and silently stole away.

A wandering Arab, on account of lack
Of means, temporarily postponed bis course
here last week. His destination was Santa
Fe, whittier some weeks ago, three Of his
tribe had journeyed, probably under better
circumstances, but no less fortunately than
proved to be the luck of the solitary Arab
in Dodge City. A small subscription fund
had been raised for Mr.. Arab. but Dodge
City's generosity was greatly exceeded BY a
gentleman travelling on the west bound train
afternoon, who left us bis card
bearing the familiar name of I'D. A. Loring,

must be, is relative of the Commissioner

carried philanthropist and Arabian to the
probably more desirable climate of New
Mexico. The Arab was . strange
spectator in the variety that makes %

Rev NJ Buckner. Presiding Elder of the
Methodist District, preached in the Union
church Sunday last The congregation was
quite large at both the morning and evening
services. Elder Collins, the resident min
lister, who breaches to the Union congreea-
ton, held no services. thus giving the
church going people an opportunity TO hear
Mr.. Buckner. The church arrangements at
present are conducive to that better feeling
which is characteristic of the true christian,
but how long this church amiability will
last is hard to determine. Church organic :
tions have peculiarities which govern organ
izatioDs OF either secular or business
character. There is desire to retain
church discipline according to the forms of
the church the people are accustomed to
meet in. Hence, We shall not be surprised
before a great while, to see the several
church organizations provided with minis
tiers of their own denominational character.
Elder Collins il giving satisfaction to our
people and We only refer to this matter be-
cause it IL within the nature of the people to
desire their own church organization, though
the present arrangements are certainly con-
ducing to the best possible results. Church
pride may not be shown SO much In the
union organization, but there is . more
favorable opportunity for the display of the
Christian. We know that church organic
atoms are aggressive and bold. If they sue
coed they must become powerful numerically
and inauentially. This position cannot be
attained without distinct organisation, and
the aggregation goes on. But Dodge City is
weak in q numerical sense, religiously, how
ever the people do not lack moral courage,
if they do fail to show an orthodox tendency.
We admired Mr.. Bucknsr's sermons very
much. He is POINTED in bic remarks and IL
Illustrates by excellent comparisons. We
need the christian character to sustain
proper degree of the forces that make up
the human characteristics. The business
man who does Lot need the example of the
church must certainly look to the junglea of
Africa to find bis sphere, Was appropriately
described by Mr. Buckner. There is need of
moral restraint. The church furnishes it.
To sustain the proper relations of man and
man, the church must be held to the extent
of ito usefulness. In Dodge City there IL
large and respectable congregation for one
meeting house. The interests and the in
foenes Of the church can be best served BY
continuing the wise arrangements. In
union there Is strength. Three or four
scattered organizations can do little good.
After while, when Dodge is more prosper.
oue, in a religious point, perhaps the church
organizations can pro6tably continue sepa-
rate character. At present there is . fair
for one minister. Wehope this
will continue for one year at
least.

SPEAREVlLLE NOTES

Hon. H. L. Fish Of Rochester, N. Y,
who has been etoppiDg here for the last two
weeks making a tour of observation over the
surveyed line of the prospective Eureka
1rrigating ditch, in company with John w.
Gilbert, one of the projectors, and others de-
parted for his home on Monday last. After
careful investigation in every particular
by personal observation and knowledge de-
rived by converting with those who have
been engaged in the cultivation of the coil
and watering it by irrig alton, Mr.. Fitch ar
rived at the conclusion that not only the
construction of the above proposed ditch was
feasible but in the event of it being con-
structed it wovld be materially profitable to
the consumer of the water and the company
furnishing the same, therefore the
object Of bis departure was not only to re-
turn home, but to join others there, who had
previously visited this locality for the same
purposes he did, in organizing a stock
company with one hundred thousand dollars
capital and at the earliest possible con-
venience commence work on the surveyed
line of the above named ditch which extends
from point on the Arkansas river eleven
miles west Of Dodge City to point on Coon
Creek near Kinsleyl . distance of seventy
Eve miles, also construct ditch commencing
At point on the Arkansas near Plerceville

of Speareville, near the Sherman school
house; distance about twenty-five miles.

pie and kept others in adverse circumstances
and when We take into consideration the
great amount of benefit to be derived, indi-
vidually and collectively, in having an irri-
CATION ditch running through our county
We should give the company proposing 10
construct the same all the encouragement We
could consistently By guaranteeing liberal
patronage. If the ditch 10 not constructed
We have nothing to loose and if it is con-
structed We will be greatly benefited, whilst
the company will have to exhaust the
capital stock or near that amount before re-
ceiving any returns.

BURGLARY Our usually quiet VIII

"Help!" "Murler!" &C., proceeding
from one of the rear windows of Coon,

aroused from their slumbers; and the
male portion hastily dressed, and sailed
forth to learn the cause. They soon
found that burglars had been through

contents; about 81 900 In cash, and
some $1,000 or 5000 In notes, mort
cages, township aud school district
