Paul and the lumber regions of the
north, and also line to
lumber and coal fields of the
south. am told lumber sells in
Wichita for STA thousand less than
here in Clay Center. Ny opinion is
that the road will be built, whether
through this, county or not depends
entirely upon the liberslity of the peo-
pie. Clay will not be asked to put up
a cent until the road is contracted for
and under way to its southern border.
When the time comes. in all probable
ity. we will be asked to subscribe
about $4,000 per mile to see the road
90 up Chapman creek from Industry,
to Oak Hill, MiltOnville and cross the
i. & NJ. system at COncordia. That
route is as feasible as the one sur
veyed and our people will probably
have to decide which one the company
will take. Mr.. Valentine also express
ed himself firm in the belief that the
line would be built, and that our city
and connt; ought TO take the lead in
pushing it to the front when the
proper time comes. He also stated
that several different persons have Of
fercd to construct the road on the
promises guaranteed by the counties
south of here.

KINGMAN, Aug. "a, 1885.
The city of Kingman is being run
without a mayor. We are short one
alderman and city attorney and the
prohibitionists who are prosecuting
the liquor men have disposed Of the
sheriff as an offensive officer. 1t is to
be noted that several of the worst
class have left town Notwithstanding,
but there are still a few lett that their
room would be more acceptable than
their presence. If their ever was such
an idea that the city or county off cia!s
owned either " the domains it has
been dispelled and the owners have
asserted that they have some rights
under their lease that they wish t.
have respected.
Alderman Almond is building a
Jail near the court horse
and he SAYS when it is finished
unless there is different order of
things he proposes to have it so full
within week that their coat tails
will stick out through the key hole.
Good for the alderman.
There are few links missing in the
Sherman Crumley case yet. The
countv's reward. Did any or all of
those men that were arrested
kill him? Where are they now! These
few questions may make but slight
difference in the general results as the
detectives are entitled TO great credit
for the skill and ihOroughness with
which they have worked up this mys-
terious csse.
If sheriff Fisher, of Wichita
will take notice he has in
the person, one w. ii. Holding, as a
boarder from Kingman. 1t will not
take very close inspection to dis
cover that he is poor demented
creature and in no way responsible
for his actions, and should be sent 10
an asylum instead of jail. He has
history. 1t is reported that his father
hired man to bring this son out est
to learn farming. and gave the man
$500 to start with, and he took him to
Comanche county. and after re-
naming there for a time, without a
cent in his possession, allowed Hold
ding to drift anywhere at his insane
leisure. The IL nth of this | do not
vouch. Perhaps your Comanche coun-
ty correspondent, J. W. d., can ex-

But this is not q Sodom or Gomorrah, nor

When to Clean the Teeth.
iphilaJelnbia Gall

OF all the people who clean their teeth
regularly, it is certain that very large pro-
portion only do so once day, and that gen.
orally at the time Of their morning ablu-
tons A much smaller number also do SO at
retiring, but the number of these who make
a practice OF regularly brushing their teeth
nfter eating, the mo- important time OF all
is indeed very small.
1t is while eating that all the little cavities
or interstices between the teeth become this
repositories OF fragments Of food or traces
OF some acids in the food are left On the
teeth to cause incipient decay, and hasten it
where it has already commenced. 1t is of
course desirable to brush tho teeth on rising
in the morning and before retiring at night,
but it is of infinitely more Importance that
they should be thoroughly cleaned after
eating.

It appears that the Washington mon

sand. Since this assertion is based upon
the report of Col. Casey, the engineer
who has recently received such exagger-
ated praise for strengthening the foun-
dations, there can be no doubt of its
truth. What must be thougfh- of such a
piece of engineering 1t appears that
nothing but the weight Of the soil over
laying this two feet thick bed of quick
sand prevents the monument from
squeezing the sand out from under it;
and should it do this little more on
one side than the other, the monument
might fall. This is certainly a serious
matter, and should receive prompt at
