THE OLD STORY OVER.

Emigration, after over thirty years
into Kansas, has at last reached ouI
western border, and claims are being
taken up to the Colorado line. Eleven
years or little more has seen this
valley settle up from Barton county
west, and in less than that. we will moi
be surprised to see every vacant
piece Of land taken up az far
west as Pueblo, and southwest to
Trinidad or the Ration mountains.
Il IL only question OF time, and not
so very long either, until New Mexico
will e settled just rs this country is,
and then the flow of emigration will
be into Arizona. To one acquainted
with those countries, the idea of ever
farming large portion of them seems
impossible, yet that is just what we
thought Of this country a few
years ago. Settlers have come,
taken up the land, have built
houses, barns and made improve
ments, and this year have raised good
crops, right where we expected TO see
cattle range, for the reason we though
il unfit for anything else. We antici-
pate the settlers will see many hard
years In this country before they have
an independence; but they are here.
and most of them will stay, at least
enough more will come TO make
more than half their number good
so that the land will never again be
used exclusively for grazing. Uu-
like Kansas, there is nothing but the
want of water to keep the granger
out of Colorado, New Mexico and
Arizona. For years the Indians on
these plains kept the settlers back;
there were no railroads TO hurry
troops 10 the front then as there are
now. in those countries, making set
Element possible, and in our mind, not
probable, but certainty. The
granger is westward bound, and he
will never stop as long as the govern
ment has vacant claim.-Dodge City

MISREPRESENrEDS SILENCE

Sooner or later lie is always ex
ploded. Take the case of Gen Grant
When he began to rise in the army
his envious rivals circulated the repor
that he was coarse, illiterate and ,
drunkard. President Lincoln gave ;
quietus to the charge of drunkenness
But the Eotable part of the business il
that Grant, without replying TO sin
gle SANDER or invention, managed ID
the course of his career to completely
vindicate himself He never said, 81
am not drunkard, "but lived SO as to
show all he world that the was a sober
man. lie never denied that Raw Inns
aud Others wrote all his letters and
dispatches, but let the public gradu-
ally discover the facts. When il was
said that his silence was dizziness and
incspability, he never claimed that he
could make speech, but when the
time came spoke often and success
fully in public. People who credited
him with no literary ability, found out
during the last year of the generals
life that he resembled Caesar in the
ability to handle the pen as well as the
sword. The wonder is not that these
falsehoods were all exposed but that
The silent and superb contempt with
which Grant treated them should have
refuted them all. There
is lesson to be learned by liars from
the life Of this silent and patient man.

RESTS WITH THE PEOPLE.

The last issue of the Manhattan Ma
tionalist contains a long article, three
columns in fact, which we understand
TO be final summing up of contro-
versy between Mr.. Griffin aud a large
number of persons, many of whom
are his personal friends, and all OF
whom have in view the same purpose
that he has, viz the suppression of
intemperance and its evils in the state
of Kansas. A large portion of the
three columns is devoted to q review
of the Dodge City affair and complaints
that the state officials, especially the
governor aud attorney general do not
themselves enforce the liquor law, but
in conclusion Mr.. Griffin says. "rhere
is not locality in the state in which a
Judge, county attorney and sheriff,
with average ability, cannot close
every saloon if they really wish to;
and generally the citizens can make
the luke-warm officials realize that it
will not do for them to fail in this
matter" Mr.. Griffin is eminently cor
rect in this. The whole matter rests
primarily and finally with the
people of the various counties
and with officials, every one of
whom is elected by the people. If the
people want the law enforced they eau
have it enforced. There is no judge
or county attorney or sheriff in this
state who can or will defy strong
aud organized public sentiment. The
people can do what THOUSAND gov
errors and attorney generals, with
ten thousand militia behind them.
cannot do. If the law is not enforced
the people have only themselves TO
thank for it. With them rests the be-
ginning, middle and end of this whole
bnsiness.-Atchison Champion.

w,cHIrA.s DESTINY.

1t be gins to appear every day more
and more important that Harper
should have direct railroad line to
Wichita. Those who have heretofore
been forward in spending their money
aud time ON Utopian schemes should
now lend their efforts to this
business. Wichita is destined to
be THE city of Kansas. Topeka is
but the state capital and is too
near Kansas City. Leavenworth and
Atchison both are at stand-still or
retrograding, and both are likewise
too near Kansas City. II is southern
and southwestern Kansas that will
build the city of the state and the
signs of the times indicate its name
will be Wichita. That city, then,
must have abundant railroad connec-
tions with north, south, east and
west. She is getting them and work
ing for them in the spirit which in
dicates she will secure them. Direct
com munication with Chicago is what
Wichita will soon have. Direct CON-
munication with St. Louis and the
east is what she now has, and direct
communication in every direction is
what she is certain to secure. There
fore, we say it advisedly, that direct
communications between Harper ana
Wichita is Of more importance to the
future of our city than anything else

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 26.-It has Just trans
pired that o man named Lucien White was
arrested here Q week ago last Monday
charged with being concerned in gigantic
scheme TO counterfeit Brazilian bank notes.
White was arrested at the Hotel Moser
where be had been stopping for some time,
and ths detectives engaged IN ferreting out
the case have discovered partly finished
notes amounting in the aggregate to SS2, 900.
The captured counterfeits are chiefly in notes
of the denominations Of 200 milries, but they
consist only of the fronts Of the notes and
are not signed. The backs however have
been discovered in New Orleans and thus the
scheme has been foiled. Other arrests are
expected to be made both here and at New
Orleans when the names Of the Brazilian
members of the gang will be secured. None
Of the details of the case can be OBJ
tanned but Detective Tyrrell, who
is working the matter up, says il ID
the largest case that he has ever
been engaged in. 1t is said that one OF
more of the gang are on their way to Brazil
and that the authorities of that county have
been cable, TO that effect and the men will
be arrested on their arrival. The printing
Of the fronts of the notes was done here by
August Cast & Co., who were told thu!
they were intended for cigar box labels but
the suspicious of Cast & Co. being aroused
whils the work was in progress they inform
ed the United States authorities here and
detectives were Immediately sent to work on
the case. Lucien White the man arrested
here says his former home was in Whitney.
Tex, but he lived in Brazil number Of
years. He returned to Texas six months ago
and shortly afterwards was approached by q
man named Lane, who preached the scheme
to him under the guise Of cigar labels and
he went into 1t He then went to New York
to have the printing done but failing be
went to Chicago where he again failed. He
then came here with the above result. He
is an intelligent, well educated man and the
detectives think Lane is the man and that
White is the chief mover in the scheme.

H. l.. jackson, engineer of the Oma-
ha, Abilene aud Wichita railroad
company, with party of nine assist
ants, arrived in Clay Center last Fri
day, and immediately pushed on to
Washington. The entire route from
Wichita to Clay Center is located on
a six-tenths grade, which is equivalent
to saying that nowhere in the entire
distance is there necessity for heavi-
er grade than thirty-two feet to the
mile. Mr.. Jackson is an experienced
man in such enterprises, having served
the Santa Fe railroad for number OF
years as locating engineer, doing much
OF the work which has made that road
such wonderful success. He
has also been engaged in surveying a
number of roads in southern Kansas,
all Of which have been conspicuous sue
cesses. In all of his work he claims
never to have gone through a country
SO rich in agricultural products and SC
ripe for just Such connection as this
road will insure, as this is. The peo-
pie along the line are enthusiastic and
will aid the enterprise to the full ex-
tent of their ability. Truly, the pros.
poets for the road are good.-Clay

4 SARATOGA, Aug. 25.-The meeting of the
state Republican committee was called to
order shortly after noon to-day by Chair
man Warren. Ex-Firo Commissioner Van
Colt offered the following preamble and
resolutions:
WHEREAs-The best interests of the Re-
publican party will be subserved in the
pending contest by q free and full expression
of the wishes of all classes Of Republicans
throughout the primaries held for the cleo
ton Of delegates to the next state conven-
ton; therefore,
Resolved, That it is the Judgment of this
committee that all voters residing in the
several assembly districts af the state who
adhear 10 the principles of the Republican
party and whose general intention is to be
with the party and promote its success by
their votes and influence at the next general
election be invited, without regard to any
so-called fundamental test" to attend and
take part in said primaries. Tine committee
recommends all organizations throughout
the state to act in compliance with the for
going.
Mr.. Jacob Hubb asked if it would inter-
fere with the plans already adopted last
year.
Mr.. Van Colt said that there were
thousands of Republicans in New York city
who did not vote last year for the nominee
for president and it would be wise for the
committee to do all in their power to give
them an opportunity to vote for the Re-
publican nominees this year.
Mr.. Van Allen said the resolution was
simply a recommend and as a recommends.
ton there could be no sound exception to
it. He thought it was q wise thing to do
There are many Republicans in New York
city and throughout the state who did moi
support the Republican candidate for presi
dent. We should have universal liberty
prevailable throughout the party. If it b.
adopted by the Republicans of this state il
would bring voters from remote district
who would take greater interest in the par
ty; it would do away with considerable
jealousy among small towns. Saratoga wa

ore,

played here yesterday between the FL Dom
do Blues and the Douglas Uniona The
score showed "a to II in favor of the homs
club.
Mr.. D. w. White, who is we'll known In
Wichita, is exhibiting here the wonderfully
big heifer named Kansas Prairie Queen.
This rare sized animal weighs $500 pounds
and stands 10 hands and inches high. She
was raised on Mr.. J. L. Pr,tt's farm, four
miles north Of Fl Dorado. It will ba re-
membered also that Mr.. White had on er-
hibition several years ago, another big
heifer called the Kansas Queen, which vas
raised in Cowley county. This animal was
sold by Mr.. White to Adam Forpaugh.
The Prairie Queen is good deal the largest
animal and probably hes no equal in the
United States.

-Four thousand statements were fled with
the probate judge Of this county during the
month Of July. Three drinks TO each state
ment would be q fair average, which would
make 1900 drinks, still, as we recently
met young man on the streets slightly
under the influence, with three bottles Of beer
under hisarm. 1t many be that our average
is much too small. Be that % it may we
do not believe that the 1000 statements
cover more than one-third Of the liquor
sold. The following from the II Dorado
Republican will help Us out in this state
ment.

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 26.-The details of q
terrible series Of murders, committed at
johnson City, Blaneo county, an interior
town, on Monday, are furnished by . citi-
zen Of that place who has just arrived here.
1t appears that the daughter of AL Locke,
an old resident, was recently discovered to
be in o delicate condition. and it is alleged
that Lockie's relatives attribute to him the
crime Of seducing her. The matter preyed
upon his mind, and Monday afternoon he
left home intending. as he avowed, to go to
John Green's place to borrow q sum Of
money. Green and family were away, and
he entered the house and took Green's Win
chester rifle and went to the residence of
Berrie Locke, where he shot and killed
Berries wife. A neighbor, John Nicholson.
rode up Just then whom he forced To go
with him to Mr.. Stokes When there
Locke killed Stokes. Nicholson disap-
peared; his horse was found tied at Stokes
and it is supposed he also was killed. He
also shot and killed Mrs. Stokes, wife Of
Stokes.
Locke went from Stokes house to has
own, and there shot and killed the wife of
his step-son, Mrs. Henry Locke, who was
on a visit from Lano county. He next shot
and killed his own daughter and attempted
to kill his wife. In the latter case he failed
because his stock of cartridges was ex-
hausted. Failing to catch and kill his wife
he cut his own throat, mounted his horse
and started in the direction of johnson
City. After riding 3 few yards he met
Thomas Cunswick, whom he attacked, and
into whom he plunged knife. INJECTING
fatal wounds. The murderer then rode
towards johnson City, but was arrested
within two miles of it. He was alive at
last accounts. With the exception, perhaps,
of the murder and cremation of the Lynch
family near Hampstead some years ago, this
is the most horrible set of crimes ever COM
mitted in this state. By it about twenty
children are left orphans.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The Farmers Review
will publish the following summary of the
crop returns up to August "a, with tie ex-
ception Of the country tributary to Red
River valley: The last fourteen days har-
vest has not been seriously delayed. Much
of the spring wheat to be handled this fall
and winter will be of inferior quality. The
intense hot weather here in July has been
the MAN cause of this state of affairs, the
effect Of which was TO more or less shrivel
the grain and produce quality below that
Of last year. The spring wheat crop of
1884 was exceptionally fine in quality.
Northern Dakota promises now to be the
only area from which any large supply of
No. 2 hard wheat may be looked for. The
price of wheat has declined IL cents within
the last 60 days. Even at tho present prices
wheat for export demand is very small. The
great accumulation of stock at shipping
points, and prospects for g still further in
crease, has also been an element which has
gone very far towards producing the pres
ent define. Very cool nights which
prevailed more or less during August have
made farmers considerably anxious for fear
Of early frost, while the general appearance
Of corn is one of encouragement. The crop
as q whole is late and we must get well into
September without an early frost, or with il
at least so per cent would be soft. The gen.
eral impression is that we are to gather the
largest crop of corn ever grown. Still the
corn crop is very uneven and we think that
the yield will not come up to general ex-
| Dectations

UP the VALLEY.

Several parties were In the city
Yesterday from northwest SedgwicE
and Reno counties to confer with the
ipcorporators Of The Wichita and
Colorado railroad company. That the
people up along the line are wide
awake and know what is TO their in.
terests, is very evident. The arrange
ments for the submission of PROPOSE
tons are being matured as rapidly as
possible, and if fhe people of the town
ships more directly interested, and
who are 10 be more directly benefited,
will take hold with their present
spirit, there is no reason why dirt
should not be flying and the ties and
steel going down in long stretches be-
fore snow flies. So far as the people
of Reno and Stafford counties are
concerned there is no railroad con-
nection for them, possible, as import
ant as an independent connection
with Wichita. Branches of the Santa
Fe. of course, would afford them con-
veniences bu; not competition. This
proposition is so plain that 10 state il
even seems a waste of words.

NO HURRAH.

To those who are arguing that the
new railroad from Wichita through
Clay Center to the B. & NJ. in Wash
ington will not be built because of the
absence of the usual hurrah aud furry
attendant on such schemes, we would
say that that is not the style of the
men in charge Of the project. Quietly
and determinedly they are at work.
One preliminary line has been made,
others will be laid out if necessary.
When it has gone far enough the di-
rectors will say to the people, We will
build the road ON such and such terms.
II the people want the road they can
say SO: if not, it will pass by on the
other side, striking country equally
as rich and more anxious for that
prosperity surely following a north
and south with the advantageous con-
ncctioDs this will surely have. That
this road will be built, or the southern
half of it at least, is as certain as that
the state will continue to prosper.
That il will connect or cross the B. &
NJ. is equally certain, and that it will
pass through Clay county and Clay
Center is almost as sure.-Clay Cen
ter Times.

EMPoRIA, Aug. 26.-The coroner's jury is
still in search of evidence as 10 the cause OF
the death of j. r. Walkup, late of this city.
There has been no report yet made as to
the chemical analysis Of the contents Of the
stomach, but this is expected in q day or
two. Mrs. WaIkup viii be required to give
testimony tomorrow. While many of the
absurd as well as more reasonable stories
regarding the action and expressions of
Mrs. Walkup have been ascertained TO
be without foundation yet the substantial
facts upon which is based the suspicious of
many persons as to Mrs. Walkup's guilt re-
main the same as from the beginning. The
purchase of strychnine in Cincinnati: the
sending of the servant girl on Sunday morn
ing to the drug store in this city TO buy
strychnine, and telling her not to let any. Of
Mr.. Walkup's family know it, but instruct
ing her TO say TO the family she
was going after butter; the
purchase Of both strychnine and arsenic by
Mrs. Walkup herself out of all proportions
for the purposes for which she claimed to
want them; the concurrent opinion of at
tending and consulting physicians that the
symptoms in every stage of the case indi-
Gated poison, with other circumstance of
perhaps less importance but still with more
or less bearing in the public mind, render it
probable that she will be held for trial in
the district court.
