MIR. Isaac Humble has accepted his old
place as book-keer and money-order clerk
at the post-ofiice, place he filled long and
acceptably before going into the Kansas
National Bank. Mr.. Lafayette Hills, who
resigns the place, is u gentleman Of sterling
worth and character. He is one OF the
most careful, competent and correct ac-
countants that ever handled the monetary
business of that Office. The place is dis.
tracing one, and of great responsibility,
only surpassed by the position of president
or cashier OF bank. There is no more
competent or conscientious business man
in the city than Mr.. Hills, and time would
have made him n great fayorite in the post
office. With all his apparent austerity he
is man OF the warmest heart, and he car
rIes with him our very best wishes for his
future success

KANSAS WHEAT.

Commissioner Geo. w .Steenrod, who had
been selling considerable wheat of his own
raising, last week, came to us with his fig
ures and the market reports of Kansas City
and Chicago, and said be wanted to prove
TO us that Wichita was better wheat mar
ket than either of the cities named. His
sales for the day before had been for SOC
per bushel, No. 2 wheat. The quotations
for the same date were S34c ut Kansas City,
and 903c at Chicago. His explanation was
that his wheat was sold for Kansas mills
No. 2 Kansas fall wheat is unexcelled for
-four is fact that our farmers should not
forget, and il it can be kept out Of the ele-
yators and mixing processes of Kansas City
and other points is worth from ten TO fif-
teen cents more per bushel than after such
elevator manipulation. As the Common
UeaitA observes All that is necessary is to
have this wheat grown in the State made
into -four within its limits. To do this at
profit, mills at Wichita, Newton, Topeka
and every other point in the State need
want. when they buy car load of wheat,
10 have il dumped into their mill, and, at
ter it lie made into -four, have the product
re shipped at one rate from the starting
point TO the ultimate market. This not on
Iy helps the miller, but every farmer who
has wheat for sale. The railroad companies
claim that under the law, as construed by
the commissioners, this cannot be done.
Whether this is correct construction OF
The law should be determined as soon a.
possible One thing is evident, and that is
that rigid rate of so much per mile
per ton, without regard TO surround
ng circumstances, works an injury to the
people Of Kansas.

The Emporia RepUblican says: .sThe rca-
son is generally understood to be the large
number OF loan and building associations
In Philadelphia. That city is rated as lead
ing all other places in this respect, and be-
cause OF this most OF the people own the
homes they live in. The growth of Empo-
ria and number OF other towns in Kansas
is already largely attributable to the same
Kind Of loan and building associations which
have made the population of Philadelphia

Inc Wilberiorce Company at the Presby-

Every member of the company is an artist,
not brilliant star, but talented and culti-

by all odds the finest protector, pantom:nist
and delineator ever appearing in this city.
Her control OF voice, features and form is
absolute, and she grows upon one by great
strides. Her Characterization of the min

and in how the question was popped to the

Brown, notwithstanding her negro blood,
is not only the possessor of great talents.
but she is d genius.

board, asked US on Saturday what might
he expect next from our pen, but before
the conversation was finished he acknowl-
edged that he was heartily with us as against
a sweeping change in the text books, not
only upon the ground OF the great expense
to the people, but because there is abso-
lutely no sense in such change, and that he
would oppose any change except of such
books where from the recommendation and
united Judgment Of the teachers decided
Improvement could be made. Mr.. John
Fisher, another member Of the board, took
occasion to say to us recently that, in the
main, he endorsed the EAGLES position on
the public school question. So parents will
see that there is hope. As to the feeling of
opposition engendered in the hearts of the
we care nothing. The schools are
not kept up for their profit or qualification.
And we are not cranky on the subject So
