Hon. III. NJ. Bickel, of Mcpherson
county, has been appointed receiver of
public moneys at the Larned land office,
vice Booth, resigned. Col. Bickel was
the democratic candidate for congress
in this, the seventh district, at the last
election. lie is man of good business
qualifications and we predict that his
appointment will prove satisfactory to
al who have business with the Larned
land Office. And now that the good
work has been commenced the sooner
the president concludes to place dem
Ocrat in Judge Browns position, that Of
register. the better the democrats of
southern Kansas will be pleased. Be
cause the incumbent is an ex-member
of congress, ex-district judge, etc, is no
reason why he should be retained in
Office; but rather, arguments why he
should be retired from Office. He is an
offensive PARTISAN" and no question:;
he has used his office TO further parti-
san ends; he has supported republican
newspapers from his Office, and so nOto-
riOus is this that thousands OF witnesses
can testify to it.
The very newspapers that are to-day
growing rich from the patronage dis
pensed to them by Judge Brown are the
ones that are criticising and even abus-
ing the present administration.
ITO the yictors belong the spoils,'
say we.

MINGONA!
THE QUEEN OF THE MEDICINE
VALLEY.
SITUATED ON A HIGH EuINENcE-

SITUATED on HIGH EMINENCE,
Overlooking the beautiful Medicine
valley, nine miles northwest of Medi-
cine Lodge, the county-seat Of Barber
county, IL the new and prosperous town
OF MingUDa. 1t Is situated on high
second bottom land, but quarter from
the Medicine river; two public roads
leading west interSect each other at this
point; il is i'm the center of a magnifi-
cent farming and grazing country; sur
rounded by community of prosperous
citizens and commands trade reaching
tar north and south and five miles east
and west and must necessarily be in a
short time prosperous trading center
MingOna is on the line of the proposed
extension of the railroad from Medicine
Lodge west, and will be the principal
and perhaps the only station between
the Lodge and Lake City. 1t will be a
srl ,ndid slipping point for live stock,
and the probabilities are that it will i'm
a short time be the very center of the
live stock trade.
Mingona is high and dry and will
never be affected by floods. Excellent
water Is obtained at a reasonable depth.
The town is not near to swamps and
death-dealing miasma does not lurk
near it. On the TOWNSHIP rs substan-
tial school house. Broad streets and
avenues have been laid off; parks and
public squares have been set apart for
public use, and every calculation made
tn give the inhabitants all the pleasures
and advantages offered by any town or
village.
The town-site is on decided land. and
no contest will arise over the titles to
town lots.
Every alternate lot is being given
away to parties who will agree TO bnild
! on them, and not only business lots. but
residence lots come under this liberal
arrangement. Now is the time to in
vest at MingOna. Every branch of bus
mess will prosper there. Tradesmen
and mechanics should go to Mingona.
Farmers and stOckmen can buy farms
and ranches near the town at reasonable
prices. While it may never be the larg-
est city in the southwest, it will always
be desirable business point, well sitlI-
ated in the best part of Barber county,
and surrounded by good society.
A daily mail reaches Mingona.

n mailman named Reume, of Denver,
Colorado, boarded a Wabash train at
1T. Louis last Saturday night, bound for
Chicago. lie was heavily armed and
besides was filed up with whisky and
had bottle with him. lie intimidated
the trainmen and passengers and took
absolute possession of the chair car.
Under the delusion that he was being
followed by parties who wanted to kill
him, he fired at everyone who came near
him, and wounded several persons. The
police ut Chicago went to meet the train
and one of the officers was shot and in
stantly killed. The survivors fired and
severely wounded the maniac and sue
ceeded in capturing him. Rev. J. o.
Hazelton, OF this county was on the
train, and gave it as his opinion that
the man was not crazy but drunk on

Washington special: 1t is some way
off, but the signs of the times now indi-
cate that Mr.. Carlisle is not to be elect
ed speaker of the next congress without
a contest. 1t is true Mr.. Randall is
not to be candidate, but the plan is to
antagOniZe him with southern man.
Carlisle was originally elected by two
interests-first, by the friends Of
those who sought to have bill passed
to extend the bonded period on distilled
spirits. This was the paramount one.
Second, by combination of the free
traders ard low tariff men in opposition
to the protectionist. This was a
secondary consideration.
1t developed, however, that in thus
elevating Mr.. Carlisle his friends OF
the two combinations found out they
had bitten of more than they could
chew. Randall stood in their path. He
proved TO be stronger on the floor than
the Kentucky speaker was I'm the chair
The result was, the bonded bill was not
only numerically beaten, but the tariff
bill also, and in its defeat Mr.. Morrison
fell by the wayside as leader, and Mr.
Randall took his place in a house which
had defeated him as its presiding officer
These results naturally brought about
discomfort, and before the session clos
ed both Carlisle and his lieutenant, Mr.
Morrison, had lost their grip. The two
prime p opposes for which the house had
been organized had failed.

a correspondent writing of Engle-
wood, Clark county, predicts for that
place a bright future. IL is located in
the Crooked creek valley, tributary to
the CImarron river, and Is six miles
from the Territory line. The CORES
pendent says: Hon. Rudolph Hatfield,
.. III. Bently and others in Wichita, in
conjunction with heavy cattlemen of
Dodge City and st. Louis, have very
recently organized and chartered the
Gatherings Railway company, de-
signed to build a line of railway from
Dodge City to Engltwood. There is
great necessity for the line. The South
ern Kansas is rapidly building west
ward from Attica, Kansas, bisecting
the southern tier of counties from east
TO west. The st Louis, Fort Scott and
Wichita railway, now completed to
Anthony, in Harper county, Kansas, is
pointing westward. All railways in
Kansas cOyet the cattle trade of the In
dian Territory and the Panhandle. The
Santa Fe system has for many years
had the cream of this trade, and will
not surrender the same to rival cor
pOratiOn without a struggle. Hence
the system proposes to occupy the ter.
ritOry contiguous to the Indian Terrific
~ and Panhandle. The charter men,
bers of the Cattle King Railway com
pany. represent several millions in cap.
ital, and representatives of the com.
pany have already been assured of lib
support from the citizens along the
line from Dodge City to Englewood.
