Good many people Of late complain
about the Vaudeville theater as II nuis-
ance and want to see the same shut up.
but when the matter is sifted down not
few of them are found to have per-
sonal motion for their complaint. A few
of them are as follows:
A banking syndicate wants the prop
erty, and say it could be bought cheap
II the Vaudeville could be closed up.
A merchant says it is going to drive
our trade over to Houston street.
Another man says 1t would be much
better for the parks and gardens If the
Vaudeville was closed.
Another interested person says the
vaudeville is hurting the saloon bust
ness, because it draws all the crowd.
The LIGHT is informed that the yaude-
vile can be closed at once, If the parties
wanting the property will pay Mr.
Simms anything like fair value for his
lease and improvements thereon.

KANSAS WHEAT IN 1884.

Ii is too early TO count our bushels,
but there is no harm in guessing upon
the fact already known. The acreage
in heat this year is estimated at
1909 900. At the rate of fifteen BUSH
els 10 the acre, the aggregate yield
would be 10000. O00 bushels, about the
same as we had last year. If the aver
age WELD should reach the figures of
1882 or little over % bushels per acre,
the total yield would reach upwards %
46 ,OO0. 900 bushels. Putting it at 20
bushels the average, we will have 40
OOO, 900 bushels, that would be enough
to supply all the people i'll Kansas and
of seven other states of the same pop
ulatiou, allowing five bushels, the
usual allowance, to every person old
and young.
This is grand showing for SO young
state. Let Us sec about the move
ment of so large crop. Four hundred
bushels is large load for one freight
car. At that rate it would require
1OO. 600 cars to haul our wheat crop.
Allowing twenty cars TO the train, we
should have five thousand trains,
and giving each train one
half mile on the track, the procession
would be twenty-five hundred miles
long Putting the cars together in
solid train, and move them by an over
shot wafer wheel, driven by Niagara,
and we ould have 0hirty feet to the
carr five hundred and sixty-eight miles
of solid train, or nearly half way from
Topeka TO New York city.
Forty million bushels of wheat at
IS cents per bushel would amount to
thirty million dollars. That, ut $25,-
600 per mile would build 1900 miles of
railroad: AT S25 per acre, it would pay
for 1900 one hundred acre farms. 1t
would be equal to thirty dollars apiece
for one million PERSONA little less
than the population of Kansas.
Ii would pay for ten school
houses AZ The sum of 81 900 apiece, one
court house at $4,000, five churches
at So 900 each. and twenty bridges at
$500 apiece in every one of the eight
ty-one organized counties Of the
state: and there would be money
enough left to buy for each of the two
hundred thousand families in the
state. one sewing machine at 1925, one
Jersey Nv at $50, and one parlor or
gan AT 500. Kansas can grow wheat.

NOT A REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.

Once or twice before we have al
ludcd to .Thacher's withdrawal The
more we think of il the less are we
satisfied with its tone II was an un-
generous piece of writing and half of
it entirely uncalled for. Another
thing about il: Thacher was not run
ming as Republican but as p,ohibi-
ZIONIST, it seems, for his withdrawal is
sent to the president of the state tenn
perancc society and not addressed to
any Republican authority or to the
mass of the Republican party. We
think the reply, made by Campbell the
more wise and charitable. Ii is as
follows:
Topeka, Kan, July 3, 1884.
Hon. Scion o. 7hdcher:
DEAR SIR:-Your letter of July LIST
is before me. 1 regret that the cir
cumstances are such that your Domi-
nation cannot be accomplished. |, to-
gether with many cthers, have sup
ported you because of our gallant de-
Tense Of the policy of prohibition at q
time wher snch defense was needed,
and because YOU have honestly and
wisely contended for the principles of
prohibition ever since the struggle
began in this state. believe
you to be an honest man, n
Christian gentleman and wise
statesman, and as such gave YOU "A
loyal support. For SO doing | am
willing to be held responsible. On
this point have no regrets. This is
a government of the people, and if
the people do not agree with me,
know of no other course but TO sub
init to their will. Ii | am wrong |
am willing to be led right. II The
people are led wrong they will in
time right themselves. have faith
in prohibition, and also in the people.
L believe that the Republican party
will stand by prohibition i'm its plat
form this year in Kansas, and will
declare against the Demo-
cratic howl for re-submission. II Col.
John A. Martin is nominated on such
a platform he will be elected by $4,000
at the very least calculation.
| believe that the temperance people
Of the state will be unit upon the
question of what the platform shall
and shall see to it that we are
not deserted by the Republican party.
But whoever is nominated. or what
ever the platform contains, prohibit
ton will prevail. 1t lie right, and will
prevail because it is right. Men may
err in judgment and be led astray.
Parties may shrink from en-
this principle on the score of
policy, but the reformation will go
right on until every dramshop in the |
land is wiped out. The hand of God
is underneath and behind this tidal
wave Of prohibition, and whoever
STAINS in its way will be submerged by 1
it. This is nv faith, ard BY ii | am
taught not 20 be discouraged by tenn
porary defeat. Without abating one !
iot or title of my effort in behalf of |
the cause we hold dear, and with my
in you unimpaired, re-
main yours with great respect,

Mrs. ELL L. Stogdill, thewife Of one

since, a notice Of which appeared in
this paper. The stogdill family came
from Burlingame Wichita,
in 1874. Mrs. s. wrote
several pieces of poetry
which were published in the Chronicle
of that city by the editor OF this,
who at that time owned the Chronicle.
After the death of the husband and

that II have written something here

ordinary interest by those of our citi-
zens who knew her:
Come near, my darlings, the night is al
The day with its toll is psst:
The sunlight is fading from OF the land,
The shadows are frightening fast
The sweet yesper bells are Ginning low,
And catch the softest refrain
or song loved in the long ago,
would hear it once again.
Come near, my boys, to manhood grown,
would lay my hand once more
In blessing upon the wsvy locks
Where SO oft it rested before,
In days when you knelt with folded hands
And murmured the sweet words DER
OF the evening hymn and the morning
That was given in time of yore
y, lips Of innocence sweet-so pure,
How I loved your good night kiss,
Leaving memory within my heart
or pleasure akin to bliss.
But the years have come and the years have
gone,
Full freighted with change and loss,
And hands and heart have wearied oft
Beneath Iite's heavy cross.
But now as the light il growing dim,
And the shadows are deep on the hills
A prelude Of peace divinely sweet,
Thr0' oil my being thrills
And I seem to hear from the other shore
A voice that was always true:
.'Fear not the waters. the port is clear,
And We are waiting for you"
Come near. and lie me feel once more.
Your kisses upon my brow,
Twill sOOtbe perchance the parting pain
Which tears my heartstriugs now.
Good night and goodbye my darling boys,
Keep your manhood brave end true,
Till you come at last to the mystic gate
Where will be watching for you.

Tbro' all the days Of old

Within the heavenly fold.
Good-bye-it Is growing very dark,

POOR YEAR TO KICK.

The power TO Kick out of the traces
is unqncstioned yet it is optional with
the power that holds the reins whether
the kicker shall be whipped, coaXed or
turned out TO grass in the pasture of
strange owner. The editor of the
IA Dorado Republican is kicking
kicking not only at the balance of the
team, but at the regularly chosen
reign holders kicking blindly.
Whether il is only balk or regular
DEMONSTRATING buck, we shall
not stop now TO inquire. With both
hind legs over the traces he is liable
not only TO bruise friendly hands. but
liable 10 find himself harnesscd in a
strange team of mules and bronchos,
and BROWSING around ON meager pas
lures with only bourbon whisky
straight as an Alternative, while the
Republican thoroughbreds will con-
tinue 10 haul the chariot of state. We
said the editor of the Republican was
kicking AT the balance Of the team.
So he :. kicking. not only at
the leaders, but at the wheel horses.
Among Others who come in for lot
of fault-iinding is Senator Plumb. He
makes the particular points last week
that Senator Plumb had failed TO do
anything towards opening up Okla
homa. and that he has not done his
whole duty touching the forfeiture of
the railway land grant. Another
point made is that Senator Plumb's
resolution in the national convention
against foreign land monopolists was
insincere. We suggest that the Re-
publican is very unfortunate in its
lines of attack. The people of Kan
sas can't be fooled 10 any alarming ex-
tent. The records and papers are
against such nonsensical charges. 1t
is fact. and the records of the con-
gressional proceedings will show it,
that no man, senstor or congressman,
except Plumb, has made any effort to
have the statutes of the Oklohoma
question fixed. HE not only. intro
duced the bin but made the only
speech covering the matter and that
speech not only earnest but unanswer-
able. As TO his position on the land
forfeiture question. we refer the editor
of the Republican 10 Plumb's speech
of to-day week. Now touching the
resolution against foreign land mo-
nopolists. il was not only incorporated
into the national platform. but il is to-
day the most popular plank in it.
The sentiment caught response from
from every American breast and is a
plank that just holds the feet of
Blaine. la
The Republicans tight on RYAN,
Peck, Ingalls,. ct al is just as inconsid-
crate.
