KEEPsTHEM ON THE Go.

The Topeka Capital sums up the Dodge
CITY trouble" correctly. 1t says: THE
people of Dodge CITY it seems from all &C
counts got very tired of being kept in
continual broiIs bv the gamblers and
prostitutes and ordered number to leave
town, and made them 60. Out of this has
grown many sensational reports regarding
affairs IN that city. We learned last night
that the Governor had been requested to
send militia there. to protect these charac>
tiers In returning. Dodge City has long
had the reputation of being the home of
manv dissolute and reckless characters.
II it proves as we believe it will. that
the present trouble is the determination
of the business and decent people of that
town Kidding themselves of quarrelsome
characters they will have the sympathy
of good people everywhere. There is
probably no occasion for Governor
Click turning out the militia, as every
town by its officers takes the right to
order suspicious or bad characters out Of
town. This is done every day in every
city ia the country and it keeps tramps
and vags of all kinds on the 60.

Tho Missing Link

Mr.. Farini is now exhibiting at the Royal
Aquarium In London q strange little crea-
ture named krao. Krao is described as
very bright-looking, intelligent girl of Z
years of age. She was caught, according to
the account given Of her BY Mr.. Farini In
the forest near Laos in southeastern Asia,
and brought 10 England by Mr.. Carl Book
Norwegian. Hearing in various quarters
Of the existence of race of hairy tailed
men similar in appearance TO family kept
at the court of Mandalay, he offered re-
ward for the capture OF specimen. A man
was caught, and with him the child now ex-
bibited, and woman of similar appearance
then allowed herself to be taken. When
the little one attempted 10 wander her
parents called her back with plaintive cry,
"hra-o," and the call has been adopted as
her name. The father died at Laos of
cholera, and the King refused to let the
muthergo; but Mr.. Book succeeded in getting
the child 10 Bangkok, and obtained permis-
sion from the King of Siam to take her to
England. The eyes of the child are large,
| dark, and lustrous; the nose is fiattencd,
the Rostrils scarcely showing; the checks
| are fat and pouch-like, the lower lips only
| rather thicker than is usual in Europeans;
but the chief popularity is the strong and
abundant hair. On the head it is black,
thick, and straight, and grows over the fore
head down to the heavy eyebrows, and is
continued In whisker-likc locks down the
cheeks. The rest Of the face is covered
with a fine, dark, downy hair, and the
shoulders ard arms have covering OF hairs
from an inch TO an inch and half long.
There Is, it is said a slight lengthening OF
the lower vertebra, suggestive of a caudal
protuberancei and there are points in the
muscular conformation and otherwise which
will provoke discussion. Krao has already

said to be OF a frank, atfectionate dispo-
