AID FOR THE FLOOD SUFFERERS.
WICHITA, Ks, March 6.-The board Of
trade of this city, few days since, held
meeting for the purpose of taking steps to aid
the Ohio river sufferers. A committee was
appointed to canvass the city for money, and
one prominent man was named in each of
the twenty-six townships in this. Sedgewick
county, to solicit farm products and money.
The committee waited on the managers of
the Topeka 81 Santa Fe railroad, who agreed
for itself and eastern connec
tons, to see that whatever
might be contributed by the people of Sedge-
wich county would go through free of trans
portation to Cincinnati. From reports re-
ceived to-day, it is estimated that thirty to
forty ear loads of corn alone will be con-
tributed by Saturday night, or about 16, 600
bushels, besides a considerable amount Of
money. The train of corn will be made up
in this city and appropriately decorated,

rhrouoh SHIPMENTS of Grain.


It does seem as though false impression,
when once fastened in the public mind, can
not be removed. The st. Paul and Mani
toba road has stated over and over again that
the farmers of the northwest could ship all
the wheat they pleased through st. Paul and
Minneapolis, to all points east and south OF
these two towns, and yet, as strange as it
may seem a convention was held at
Grand Forks some weeks ago., and
ten or twelve men were selected to act as
committee to come down to st. Paul, consult
with the railroad authorities, and ascertain
among other things if the st. Paul & Mani
toba road would consent to allow wheat to be
shipped through st. Paul and Minneapolis to
the east and south This was one Of the
points the people of Grand Forks and vicin-
ity. through their committee, wanted the
road to answer. They really thought
that wheat could not be shipped east
Of st. Paul and Minneapolis. 1t was
to this committee that Mr.. Manuel, the SUI
perintendant replied saying, that over 3,000,-
900 bushels of the last crop had been shipped
over the st. Paul & Manitoba road to Duluth.
The members Of the committee appeared to
be astouhded at the announcement, and
looked at each other in great surprise. They
could not understand it. This statement of
Mr.. Manuel was followed up by Mr..
Hill, who asked the members of the
committee what they thought
the st. Paul and Manitoba road
built that branch from st. Cloud to Hinckley
for, where it strikes the st. Paul & Duluth
road, if it was not to carry wheat to Duluth!
When the committee was asked this ques-
ton, the members of it were again surprised.
Even now there are those who cannot I'M
Ill - {IaaG p
itoba road will carry wheat through St. Paul
and Minneapolis to points east and
south, notwithstanding the COM
mittee that came down to st. Paul
to investigate the matter has published its
report to the world answering the question
in the affirmative. 1t has therefore become
necessary for the road to publish circular,
in order to make it plain that it will so trans
port wheat. This is no new thing, but is
simply an authoritative announcement of
what the road has all along been doing. The
following is the circular, and it is hoped that
it is sufficiently clear and unequivocal to
settle the matter.

General Freight Department.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 5, 1884.
To Agents and Patrons There appears to
be an impression that grain and flour cannot
be shipped beyond st. Paul and Minneapolis.
This is not the case. Our cars can be loaded
for Chicago, Milwaukee and all other points
east and south of st. Paul and Minneapolis.
Cars loaded as above should be way-billed
to Minnesota Transfer where delivery can be
made to connecting lines without extra
charge. Please advise parties interested.

The coc,tr d,Alene Hines

There seems to be a growing excitement
throughout the east and northwest over the
Occur d'Alene mines. That there is gold
there in large quantities seems to have been
established. The consequence is there is a
general stampede for Eagle City and vicinity.
The trains on the Northern Pacific go out
every night from St. Paul with large num-
Der of miners, and people that are not
miners, going out there. These mines seem
to have taken possession of the minds
of old miners through ut the whole country,
who Tor some reason or other, believe they
constitute the largest and richest discovery
ever made in this country. The head quar-
tiers Of the Northern Pacific, in st. Paul are
kept busy day after day, furnishing informa-
ton in regard to the mines and how to get
there. The Black Hills miners are all flock
ing to Miles City, where they are taken up by
the west bound trains and conveyed to Rath-
drum, Belknap and Trout Creek,
the nearest station to the mines.
1t is estimated that 1000 miners
from the Black Hills alone will go to Couer
d'Alene, and that 900 men day are arriv-
ing at the mines. Undoubtedly considerable
gold has been found there and the prospects
are, that much more will be found, and that
they will ultimately prove to be very rich
mining country. The only question that is
left to be solved is as tohow rich the diggings
will prove to be. There Is no question
whatever as to the richness
of the quartz lodes discovered
during the fall and winter. The placer
mines are also extensive and will yield any
where from 81 to $50 and 500 per day to the
hand. The oldest Pacific slope miners and
those from Colorado and the Black Hills are
among the most enthusiastic, and there is
but one opinion among them and all practi
cal miners about the mines, and that is they
are very rich and extensive. Mr.. Thomas g.
Merrill, veteran prospector and assayer,
says the Ceur d'Alene is the best
placer fed known in the
United States. He expects to see 1000
ounces day oduced after June l, and be-
leves that there will be $4,000 people there
in the spring. Mr.. Merrill will establish a
branch assay office at Eagle City in the
spring.

YEsTERDAY,s MARKETs.

There was greater activity in the wheat market
here yesterday, 1000 bushels of No. hard sold
at 81 .03, the market closed at $100 bid. At
Milwaukee the market was dull and without in
terest. At Chicago there was want of conf
dence and general depression, wheat closing Y
@Kc lower than on Wednesday; corn went
down %@%c closing at 55Ac for May and soc
for June; oats yielded to the bears and declined
&c below Wednesdays closing; pork suffered to
the extent of 1O@12c. Wall street was easy at
1K@2c per cent. There was no change in bonds
which were steady and firm. The stock market
was almost void of interest, and the day was re-
markable for its extreme quiet and dizziness:
prices, however, were firm and changes were
merely fractional-sixteen advancing 7s@%c and
five declining to the same extent the rest were
unchanged. Mining shares were dull
and weak,

were number Of western desperadoes in the
regular employ of the star route contractors,
and that considering the high state Of ex-
element growing out of the struggle between
the stalwarts and the half breeds some weak
mind might be Influenced to do him harm"
President Garfield was shot very
soon after, and hence there rests a
suspicion in the minds of men Of the Cook
class that Guiteau was either hired by the
star route men or was driven to the commits
sion of the crime by the sentiment of the
party with which he was affiliated.
The testimony of James aims to show that
whatever may have been the political obliga-
tons of Garfield to any Of the members Of
the star route crowd he did not allow the OBJ
legation to stand in the way Of his duty.
He certainly did receive aid from
men involved in the star prosecutions,
but there is no evidence pro or con, that he
knew of their completely. James and Cook
say that he ordered the prosecution the mo-
ment the fact as to the swindle was laid be-
fore him. He may have been injudicious at
first, but having taken position upon the
matter he was obliged to go ahead after the
supposed real state of the case was laid be-
fore him. All the matter is old, and some
of it is fishy. Garfield is dead, but the dis
closures made by James and Cook are OF
interest, perhaps, as going to show, so far as
they may be credited, that Garfeld's
memory ought to be relieved from
the aspersions cast on it by
members of his own party. If this testimony
amounts to anything it is cumulative to
establish that Garfield was assassinated
by the party which elected him. Only one
hand struck the murderous blow, but that
hand was nerved and directed by a faction Of
the Republican party. 1t is always charged
that the assassination of Lincoln was the result
of the existence of secession, and it is just
as true that the murder of Garfield was done
by the moral procurement of portion OF the
party which elected him. That he was slain
by the direct agency of the star route Grim
inals is not probable; but they had their rep
resentative in Guiteau. That villain levelled
his revolver instigated by the wrath of the
same rascals interested in the star routes
and by the disappointment and rage of the
politicians who found that Garfield would
not act as their mere agent in managing the
affairs of the country. The spirit of rebel
lion slaughtered Lincoln and the spirit of
Republican faction shot down Garfield. Of
the two acts, the latter is by far the least ex-
cusable, the most damnable and the one
which should infict eternal infamy on the
men who were responsible for it.

zcBANCE ZOE MORE REFOBu

While the copy right of newspaper matter
is under discussion it might be well to sug-
gest, if there is to be any legislation, that it
should be extended to another phase of pill
fering which has not yet been mentioned.
There are hordes of newspapers, some of
whom advocate the copy right law, whose
proprietors sit up all night, so as
to able to steal the paid for kilograms of their
contemporaries, and palm them off on the
public as original matter
Another phase of theft which demands ate
tention is the constantly occurring one
in which editorial and other matter, are taken
bodily and reprinted without credit. There are
various forms of this branch of theft. One is
to take paragraph and republish it
as original. Another is to take matter
and credit it to an "exchange'' or a
contemporary. This is petty larceny and
sneak thievery of the meanest kind and has
son who steals it is natural thief, and part
ly in a mean envy which forbids him to give
credit to other people.
There is still another matter that needs
attention from criminal reformers. It is
found in the frequent practice Of many pa
pers of rewriting and double leading an as
ISOLATED dispatch from Europe and
then heading it especial cable.''
This is species of swindling
that is even meaner than stealing dispatches
or other newspaper matter. 1t is fraud on
the public. 1t is obtaining money under
false pretenses. 1t is just as much a conf
dence operation as bunkoing or the check
racket or any other of the methods resorted
to by the guild of swindlers.
Now that we are in the mood for newspa-
per reform, let US have clean sweep. Let
