Of Quincy, ILL.,, has Just completed 3

J.G. Egan, formerly leader OF the
celebrated Knight Templar Band Of
EmpOria il now located In this city
and employed In the Law Depart
ment OF the Santa Fe. Mr.. Egan Il
pronounced by competent musicians
70 be one OF the finest + fat cOrnet
players in the country, but Il Is not
understood that he will continue his
profession In this eity.-TOpekd Com
Dlontgedlth.
Mr.. EgAn was At one time leader
Of hand in Salina.
RefOrmer Johnson, Of the Jude
pendent, wants the city printing let
to bids. About three weeks ago when
he was planning for the whole Of Ii,
he, Of course, wasn't 70 anxious that
the bidding should take place. But
then reformers have the same right to
change their minds that other people

II there is one thing for which
Judge Prescott is noted more than
another, il is frmness. he has the
most excellent judgment and hardly
ever loses his selEpOssession and
equanimity. When the IRdepead-
emf makes the statement that Judge
Prescott as"bull-dozed" into max
ing the appointment Of county attOF-
ney, 1t states what Il false. Judge
Prescott allows no one to bulldOze
hlm-not even John Foster.
Messrs. c. s. Radcllff and T. l..
Bond seem to give the editor Of the
Independent the nightmare continu-
ously. But . little while ago the
Lndepcndent was saying thEt Radclif
and Bond were dead and laid away.
Now that paper gives them
column or 50 Of free advertising every
week. II must be that these gentle
men have still q political existence
and In some manner thwart the IN
desires and wishes.
The Topeka Capital in an article on
railroad matters, says:
Both the T. s. & W.R. r. and the
o., T. & n. r. r. will be constructed
during the present season. There is
no longer any question on that point.
Mr.. Patterson, the contractor for
building the T., s. & W. r. R., has
completed his arrangements and
made his contracts, based upon the
assurance that Shawnee county will
vote the aid asked for, with q syndi-
cate Of New York capitalists to COM
plete this line Of railroad from TOpe-
ka to Salina via Council Grove before
next September.

They tell a good story Of q clOse-hst-
ed fellow who wanted . well badly In
q neighbOrhoOd where considerable
difficulty is experienced in getting
water, but who was too close to pay
out money enough for the purpose.
Finally he struck q well digger who
guaranteed q well Of barrels Of water
for $50. The well digger. with some
previous information Of the where
abouts Of water, clInched the bargain
and went to work. he dug nine feet,
struck water which yielded tWelv e
barrels Of water, stoned II up and
claimed his money. All Of his work
was done IN two days-pretty good
wages for two days work. The close
listed man IL probably hating himself
and all mankind now.
