KANSAS CITY, June 4.-Sheritf Chand-
Ter, of Miami county, Kansas. arrived
IN this city this morning IN search of
the PleasantOn murderer. A fifth body,
that of . young girl. was found near
Pleasanton yesterday. The murdered
party has been identified as the fam
lily of John II. Anderson
an improVident farmer. It appears they
had knowledge of some crime commit
ted by Lewis WGmpler, nephew of An
deFson. Some days ago the two men
lett the house together. Wampler re-
turned alone saying that Anderson had
sent tor his family. They started in .
wagon aud on the way it is supposed
Wampler murdered the woman
and the tour children and fled. 1t is
probable that Anderson has also been
put out of the way. WampleF was after
W9sds seen near Paols riding missing
horse. It is believed that he came to
thia city. The greatest excitement pre-
walls at the scene of the crime.

I like the Early or February Black
oats, if the season is not too dry, sown
Oh good, strong land. Cut your oats
while the straw is green, by doing so
you lose no oats In harvesting and
your straw makes good feed for cattle

them and let them stand 30 to go days
and thresh aud put away and hold
what you want to sell until the next
May or June, say last half of June,

fail to stack your straw in good shape
SO you can feed it out at your pleas

hay, stakeholder and stalk fields

I want to do little general scolding
at my brother clod hoppers now, as I
am done with my oats crop; it is this
pasturing your lands and stalk fields
in February and March. Yes, do you
know that you tramp the life out of
your land. Again, don't put off odd
jobs until you are ready to go at your
blowing, and stop day now, and two
days next week and SO ON all through
the season. When pillow time comes
be sure to have everything ready and
go at it with vim and stay with it
every day until the crops are all made,
and then commence figuring OH BUSH

so as to be fully ready next year to do
the same way. Please to recollect the
early bird catches the bug every time.

A BAD MEMORY.

We started out i'm this campaign
with the firm determination not to
throw any dirt, and in Difference to
that determination we refrain from
saying that Mr.. S. A. Riggs is will
full liar. We do say, however, that he
has got too bad memory to he of any
use in Congress. All who heard his.
lola speech, will remember his allusion
to Mr.. Rob't LaDyOn, the great zinc
man of Pittsburg, asa free trader. Last
week we published an interview with
Mr.. Lanyon, by a Kansas City Jour
nal reporter, in which that gentleman
expressly danied ever making such
statements as were attributed to him
by Mr.. Riggs. Fearing that it might
be claimed that the interview was
manufactured by the Journals "pro-
fessional liar" we wrote to Mr.. Lau-
yam for the facts in the case. He said
that the interview was substantially
correct and that his position on the
tariff question was directly opposite
from that in which he was placed by
Mr.. Riggs. That is one case in which
Mr. Riggs Imagination got the better
of his memory. Another case is that
of his denial that he had any thing
what ever to do with the bill donating
100000 acres of school lands to the
railroads. The following letter from
Hon. Oliver Barber, of Lawrence, a
gentleman widely known over the
state, whose truthfulness will not be
questioned, shows that Mr.. Riggs
memory is equally defective on that
point. Mr.. Barber writes:
LAWRENCE, KAs, Feb. ., 1854.
w. H. III. WHITNEY, Lawrence, KS.
Dear Sr:-ln reply to your inquiry
of this date asking who drew up the
bill that passed the state legislature do
mating 800, 900 of state school lands to
the various railroad corporations of the
state, will say during the session of the
legislature that passed that bill, | occu-
pied a room in the Topeka House at To-
peka. The lobbying of the bill was done
principally in my room; that is, the
members of the legislature were
brought in there one at time, and
urged to support the bill. Hon. S. y.
Riggs was the author Of the bill and
one of the advocates in lobbying it
through. OLIVER BARBER.
1t has also been proven in the face
of his denial, that Mr.. Riggs, as attor-
ney for the l.. l.. & G. R'y, was active
and untiring in negotiating the Drum
Greek treaty with the Usage Indians,
whereby that corporation acquired
100000 acres of Kansas land at the
nominal price of nineteen cents per
acre. This treaty was defeated in the
senate and Riggs was so indignant
at its defeat that he bolted the nomi-
nation of l.. j. Worden, of Lawrence,
who had been an uncompromising OPP
ponent of the treaty, and ran as an in
candidate against him for
the state Senate.
We do not say that the opposition
candidate lies, mind you; we only ar
que that man with so poor q menu
DRY would be of no use as a congress
man.

INCARCERATION TO LANsAs.

GOv. Gilck Will nave 10 modify his
theory that prohibition modifies inn
migration to Kansas. The Land Com
missioner of the Union Pacific railro ad
reports last years sales the largest on
record. The highest number of acres
previously reached was in 1878, when
they sold 199, 346 acres, In 1883, $685.
963 acres were sold; 50,52l of this were
sold in Colorado and 273, 742 in Kadsas.
The average price in Kansas was SAL
per acre. Prices range from So to So
per acre.
The fact is that Kansas is receiving
steady and very large accessions to it's
population, and that, as rule, the inn
migration now pouring into the State
is made up of people of mea rs, who
are able to buy improved farms, and
to still further improve them. 1t is a
fact, too, that Kansas land has never
advanced so rapidly in value as dur
ing the past two years and half.
hCic 10 dClG vi tlic
settled sections of the State, that has
not doubled in price during that time.
1t would not be fair, perhaps, to as
sert that this increased demand for
Kansas lands, and their rapid advance
in value, is due to prohibition. But
these facts, which are unquestionable,
conclusively demonstrate that the
adoption of prohibition has not had
the effect to retard immigration, nor
to bring upon the State any ofthe dis
astrous effects predicted by the Gov
ernor and those who thought as he did
Prohibition has not made the State a
"Howling wilderness" nor is it likely
to. The facts seem to prove, on the
contrary, that people of means are at
tracted in increased numbers, to a
State where liquor-selling is under the
ban of the law, and liquor-drinking j:

How Watch Gases Gre Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
a goidwatch case, and vet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. Ina SOLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiiSn and hold the engraved por-
tons in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless. cut rndesira-
bic, because gold is soft rietal and cannot
fugnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-EttinS. The perfect watch
case must combine gold xi.h son.e metal
that viii supply that in whicL the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the ,Ica.ss Boss Gold Hictes Case :.
which saves the WASTE of A,eci- y
