Some District Legislation out Of Which
Litigation Has Arisen.
by act of the former Legislative Assem-
bly, of this District of August - 1871,
auctionccrs arc required To pay 500 annu-
ally and monthly tax on gross receipts Of
onc-fOurth of one per cent. Real estate
agents are required to pay S25 annually
and Il scmi-annual tax of one per cent, ON
their commissions. They are also required
to give bond to the Secretary of the Dis
trict of Columbia in the sum ofS5OO0 with
two good and sufficient surctics for the
honest and due performance of all duties
required by law The penalty imposed
upon real estate agents for failing to give
this bond is forfeiture of license and fine
of not less than 800.
Real estate agents are further required
To makca sCmi-amual return To the Regis,
ter under oath of the amount of their COM
missions. lfin the opinion of the Regis
ter the return is undcrcstimatcd, this act
of the Assembly provides that he shall
have power to examine either i'm person or
by deputy the books and accounts of the
persons making such return, and make an
assessment of the correct sum to which he
shall add Il penalty of twenty-five per
Ccntlun. ON account of tax due.
The Legislative Assembly ON June %,
1872, passed another act in which the
Register was authorized to arrange the
license laws in the form of circulars for
distributions Several of the sections of
the license law having been adiudlyed H.
legal and thcrcllDon been repealed by the
Legislative Assembly, the Register in the
circular prepared by him omitted the see
tions repcalcd but continued his con.cr-
utivc Numbering. 50 that section 3S i'm the
act of August -, ISL which related to
real estate agents, became section No. 81
in the circular
In 1876 the real estate agents 'ctitioncd
Congress To repeal the law. The District
Committee in the House reported the
matter favorably, but hayingthc circular
before it as evidence of the law they re-
pcalcd section No. - of the act Of Assem-
bly, ofAugust -, 1871. From this time in
lS7Guntil late IN 1852 no license was re-
uuircd of real estate agents. il hcing sun,
posed that the law was repealed when it
was discovered that section no. b ofthc
act related to photographers, and that sec
ton No 3S was not repealed. Thcreupon
the Commissioners exempted photo
graphcrs and required real estate agent,
10 pay the license tax and to give bond.

the Light BATTERIES preparing To Leave
Washington Barracks.
\ visit TO the Arsenal grounds to-day
showed in the vicinity ofeach set of bar
racks and quarters, except in those of
the medical officers, distinct evidence that
moving day is close at hand: Half
made crates for furniture, loose lumber
for more crates and boxes, and huge boxes,
evidently packed, and bearing in stencil
the future address of their owners. Mon
day and Tuesday the post was i'm a tur-
moil of excitement over the official
visit of Colonel Roger Jones' Inspector
General on General 1Iancock's staff Mon
day the barracks and hospital were
thoroughly inspected. and in the after
noon Light Battery \, commanded by
Major Frank Il. Hamilton, was drilled for
three hours on the broad parade, to de-
tcrmine its efficiency in instruction and
discipline. The officers and men of this
battery are almost in despair over the fact
that the horses must he left here for the
coming battery Of the Third Artillery,
and the men have become 50 much at

them like leaving members Of their own
families.
Monday Colonel Jones tackled the
foot batteries and put them through
severe course Of sprouts for the same
purpose,
Before sunset the trial was over, and
Colonel Jones left that night for New
York. II is probable that the marching
orders-Or, maybe, snilmg-will be made
to-day by General Hancock and received
here tomorrow morning.
Since General Ilancock's Order assign

A Mystery Unveiled.

For the past two Years a certain
business man who styles himself Post the
Pawnbroker,' has been getting diamonds,
| watches, jewelry, etc., and selling them for
mere song, Ms it were. He has sold fine
solid gold Howard watches for seventy five
dollars that the jewellers say were worth one
hundred and seventy-five dollars. He has
even been known, when business was lit
tic dull, TO sell solid gold watches, and in
fact. every thirg in the jewelry line, for
about one-half its actual value and some
| times even less than that, and the strangest
part of 1t all is, he meyer runs out of goods
Large boxes filed with goods come to him
by express. Where they come from no one
knows save himself, and no one so far has
been able to find out how he gets so many
good goods, SO that he can sell them for so
much less than they are worth. 1t has puz-
zled other dealers in jewelry SO much that
some have gone so far as to say that they
believed be did not get them honestly Blu,
the writer of this article, being warm
friend of Mr.. Post, and knowing him to be
II man of honor, resolved to interview him,
which he did, and Intercepted HIM as fol-
lows:
"Mr. Post, YOU have been selling watches,
diamonds and jewelry for the last two years
here in Wichita, all OF which have proven
to be first-class goods and always Just as you
represent them; you have been selling these
goods SO very low and giving such wonder
full good bargains that it has excited the sus-
picion of some. And there are many re-
marks and suggestions made in regard TO
how you get so many of these goods. and &c,
them so you can sell them for so much less
than they are worth. People will not be-
leve that you get them all pawned 20 you
here"
well, sir. you may say 10 my inquiring
friends, if you please. that | have great
many watches, diamonds, etc, pawned and
sold to me right here in Wrhiis; but not
one half as many as / sell. Most Of nv Sec

my best bargains. come from my brother
pswnbroker's establishment (which is a very
large onel in New York Then am also
enabled to buy new goods at great reduc-
ton through another brother in the cas-: en-

FROM RINGMAN WEST

A proposition is being submitted in Pratt
county for the extension of the railroad
west under the name of the Kingman. Pratt
and Western railroad. The distance from
kingman to the Arkansas river direct,
west, is about seventy-five miles, running
through the center of Pratt and nearly
through the center of Edwards. This is q
line of road for which there is strong de.
mand, and it is ope which will be built
sooner or later. In fact we have often won
dered why the people of Pratt and Edward,
did not take the step now proposed. Such
line would enable them to reach the prin-
cipal railroad competitive point in the stat,
by the shortes; and most direct route Wich-
Ita will hail the building of the proposed
road with no little satisfaction.
