Your obedient servant,
JOHN A. MARTIN,
Governor of Kansas.

The two Emporia jurors, p. b. Maxon
and George Kremer on the celebrated
Hillman case just tried at Leavenworth,
stood out for Mrs. HIllman.
Wichita has a new daisy" hotel, the
Manhattan, but she can not come up to
EmpOriA on the score of hostelrIes yet
by big long chalk mark.
The Lawrence city council appears to
stand IN with the lightning rod men and
the book agents. The aldermen up
there seem To have levied Ill occupation
tax upon nearly everybody but members
of the above classes.
AtchIson shows appreciation of the
great good don for that city by John NJ.
Price. He built the opera house and
several other fine blocks across the river
from the unfortunate pork packing es-
tablishment.
The Ell Dorado Republican has most
artistic and valuable compilation OF
complete statistics of Butler county
covering this year and the previous one.
The table extends across an entire page
of the paper.
Troy Chiet: "On the 18th OF June,
1857, 1t showed at Il lively rate in this
corner of Kansas. and hot stove made
a room comfortable. On that day,
lit was Monday, the same as this year,
the election was held for Delegates
to the LecomptOn constitutional con-
vention.
The Couacil Grove Cosmos is jealous
of Emporia because one of our young
men received Democratic appointment
with a remunerative salary. We know
it must be pretty tough "seeIng IS" you
keep oae of The editors of your town at
Washington all the time. Cheer up,
boys, some of you may yet be appoint
ed driver on a buck board mail route
1.-The Ncosho VIvlfier" is the name OF
the neat and newsy sheet which has Just
issued Its Vol. 1, No. 1. at Neosho Rap
ids in this county. The editor and pro.
prietOr is b. F. Beclar, whose motto is
"DuN UiUimuS UtUimus," Invariably in
advance. We place it on our exchange
list and trust it will aid IN the develop
ment of Neosho Rapids and vicinity and
remunerate the publisher.
Wichita does not like to see Emporia
get away with her on attractions and con.
sequently the metropolis OF the Kansas
Nile is endeavoring to secure the
Temptations OF Smith" II Wichits
can not raise the "stuff'' TO obtain MIR
Prentis, how would it do for the Eagle
TO work up an excursion 60 Emporia on
Monday, July 6. The Temptations
are billed for this city on that date, anC
we think the Wichita folks could spare
the time to advantage and come up and
hear something good.
The celebrated Hillaan case still
hangs. The jury at the close of tn,
trial at Leavenworth this week, disa
greed-six to SIX. The widow who sueC
the companies for $25 900 insurance viii
try again. II has now been about fiv,
years, We believe. since the death of Hill
man, or that of his alleged counterpart
took place down in Barbour county an,
it looks very much as If the INSURANCE
companies were just trying to wear Mrs
Hillman out and defraud her out of tn
policies. She seems to have grit. how
ever, ana grit often overcomes cspits
and combinations arrayed against jus
t,ce.
The AtchIsOn people appear to b
walking on treacherous basis. One O
its daily papers says: "The Globe II
ceives complaints every day with refer
ence to the wretched condition of tn
1 sidewalks and streets OF the city, an,
3 none of them are OveTdrawn, but as
e matter of fact the council is doing tn
3 best It can with the money to be had
r AS matter of fairness. 1t should be re
I membered that the city of Atchisoa is
! great big pauper, and that most OF il
! small revenue-that from the saloons
, Is collected In defiance of law. tn
