Tho Coffeyvillc Journal puts the
matter sensibly TINS: eff Kansas un-
fortunately should cut loose from her
prohibition mornings and the saloons
should be allowed to return, and fol-
lowing this every saloon was compelled
to pay an even 81 900 license it would
not one-haIf liquidate the debt annual
ly assessed upon other tax payers to
supper: the paupers and protect socie-
ty FROM the criminals which the saloon
educates. Jails and station cells. peni-
tentiaries and poor houses would in a
great measure be tenantless were it not
for the demon drink. Even all this is
a small part of the distressing picture,
when We see the multitude of homes IF
poverty, the hungry and ignorant chill

hopeless as seen in no other than a
drunkard' $ home. And yet there are
men who talk about ''persoual liberty

The rush at the Garden City Land
Office is thus described by the Newton
Republican:
Abe Thanhouser showed reporter
photographs of the Garden City land
Office, front and rear. The amount Of
business transacted at this Office is won
derful. The 'front.' view represents sew
eral hundred men impatiently waiting
their turn, while the rear view repre-
sents a crowd of men, many of whom
are in the act of climbing ladders to
place their papers in the hands of the
land attorneys. The clerks in the land
Office are obliged to work sixteen hours
day and even then some men have to
remain in the town month before their
wants can be attended to.

Mr.. Steve Elkins in IN interview
with the Denver Tribune said: In my
opinion the land laying between the

aims is destined to be one of the most
thickly populsted in the union. The
land is of the richest kind and capable
of raising the finest crops Of any Sec
ton. I believe that in time some means
will be utilized to husband all the wa
ter for irrigation and by means of res.
ervoirs carry it eastward for distance
of 200 miles. East of the Allcghan-
les the farmers are now obliged to use
fertilizers in order to get crop to
grow, but out here nothing of the kind
will be necessary for 500 years.

Weather for November, 1885.

C. c. Blake, editor of the Future,
predicts November weather as follows:
At the time of writing this, October
21st, my calculations for November do
not show any extraordinary weather.
The month will average a little colder
than usual for the time of year, with
some quite cold snaps that will carry
frost to the Gulf States; but there will
be considerable pleasant November
weather scattered through the month.
There will be about the usual number
of storms during the month, some of
which will be moderately severe, es-
pcclally about the 10Th; but the amount
of precipitation will not be large, and
will average little below the normal
except in some places near the Gulf of
Mexico and the southeast, where there
will be small excess.
In parts of the north and northwest
there will be considerable deficiency.
and a good part of that which does fall
in said tract will be in the form os snow.
