Farmers are busy harvesting and

Topeka, June 25, 1885
Hon. +. b. Allen, Secretary of State
Topeka, Kansas.
DEAR SIR:-Replying to your conf
munication transmitting the card OF
Charles L. Goodyear, permit me to
say: Section "a, article 4, chapter no
general statutes of 1868, seems 10 have
been bone of contention almost ever
since its adoption, not because of any
feature of the section alone, but be-
cause il defines one OF the duties of a
township officer and the several
duties of that office have been
changed.
Without cnumerating the various
changes the section has gone through
we will proceed to decide which of tho
two acts of 1885 should prevail.
Chapter l6S, laws of 1885, is an act
creating board of highways, fixing
their compensation and amending
chapter ITO, general statutes of 1868
Chapter 1875 is an act amendatory OF
other acts aud changing the time for
holding the regular township election.
When two acts of the same Legislature
on the same subject are passed within
few days of each other, the one 60
ing into effect last should have priority
as being the last expression of the
legislative mind on that subject
Therefore chapter l6S on page PCS
should prevail i'm making settlements
with road overseers.
Yours, etc, S. Ii BRADFORD,
ATTORNEY General.

Mrs. Lease, of Wichita, addressed Mo
line audience yesterday evening in the tow
hall on the subject, ''Ireland and Irishmen.
She was accompanied and introduced BY
Father Kelly. The lecture was a source o
pleasure and instruction, and the lecturer
possesses culture and ability. She rolled
back the dark curtain of IrelRnd's history
and depicted many of the wrongs endured
by the Emerald Isle at the hands of her
more powerful, crueler, but less valiant
neighbors during the last 800 years. This
lady is true daughter of Ireland, and al
most venerates the name of the land Of hel
nativity, yet she expressed her intense 10y.
atty to America and her profound love fol
our institutions. Mrs. Leases style of de-
livery is free and pleasing, her choice Of
language good, her sentences faultlessly
formed and expressive, and the lecture in
dictates that extended research has been re-
sorted to, and mush time spent in its prepar-
alton. Our citizens have been highly fav-
ored by this opportunity of listening to q
discourse of such rare literary merit.-Mo-
line Mercury.

that our state has been so rapidly
made up, and il is also true that these
mothers-in-law will all say that it was
the brightest aud most enterprising
and ambitious of their household
that broke away and went out on
the prairies of Kansas. He said
that heroes are not men made, but
are made by the infinite God who de-
crees in the granduers OF their make

action that they shall be heroes, aud
men worship heroes not because they

ARKANSAS CITY, Kas., june 80.
To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Have your people much knowledge
of Arkansas City?
We want your people TO come and
see the grandest Fourth of July ever
held in Kansas; the grandest fireworks:
all kinds of amusements during the
day. The steamboat built by the mil
lers of Arkansas City will positively
be here 1t passed Fit. Smith on the
22nd inst, and was getting along fine
ly. Ii will come up the Walnut TO a
point opposite the railrosd depot, and
will make excursions TO the Arkansas.
Among other attractions the renowned
Indian chief, Powhadaqula, and fifty
braves will march in the procession
on their ponies, and will give five
dances, including war dance, snake
dance, sun dance, etc. This is a fea-
ture that will more than pay the ex-
peuses of the trip. These Indians
were procured by Mayor Shiflbones,
who was ten days in the nation select
ing the most active Indians. They
will appear in their richest costumes.
Such sight may never occur again to
majority of the people who will be
present.
Three thousand dollars will be spent
by the committee, and don't you for
get it. No town west of the great
river will equal the celebration of the
only city of Kansas that pretends TO

The blood-thirstv Cheyennes have
not yet arrived at Kingman. but many
thought they had this afternoon at
about half past O'Clock. The quiet
of Main street was thrown into great
excitement by the discharge of pistols,
musketry and artillery all at the same
time, together with the hallowing OF
men, boys and runaway teams upon
the streets. Everybody was sure the
Cheyennes had crossed the tornado
district of Cleveland and had made a
charge upon the town. II all come
about by setting fire to the entire fire
works of NJ. L. Van Fleet who had
just received them to day for the 4th,
and had them all displayed in an open
window in the front part of his bakery.
There was little crackers, big crack
ers, torpedoes, colored lights and piu-
wheels and all of them were put in mo-
ton at one and the same time, by the
accidental dropping of some fire
among the pile. The hook and ladder
company was soon out for the first
time for active duty, but it was scarce
ly necessary as few pals Of water
extinguished the fire and again after
the firing of shells had ceased. and
the fire was all out, John c.
Foley came across the street
with one hand grenade in his hand.
He carried it back TO his office. The
building is an old one story box con-
Germ of no value and belongs to Mr..
Sanders. Mr.. Van Feet says his loss
will be $3.50, with no insurance. The
discharge burnt the counters and dam
