Leavenworth Times: The protests Of
the Kansas live stock men against dry

70 be respected and enforced. The cattle
Faisers Of Texas might as we'll make up
their minds that the days Of driving are
over. If they want TO market their

home or send them to market by rail. as
everybody else does.
The railroad goes every where, and be-
tween refrigerator cars and cattle cars
there is no difficulty in marketing live
stock. Il Is true that it costs money to
patronize railroad. but land is enough
cheaper IN Texas 70 make up for the ex-
ira length of the haul. The Illinois
farmer, after making allowance for the
difference IN freight charges, is still at a
disadvantage. But the Texas steer
should not be compelled TO go by rail
simply because his owner can afford to
have him. That Is merely q negative
argument, and the special reason is be-
cause the general public can not afford
to have him make the journey in any
other way.
The Southern Texas cattlemen art
very angry at the attempt to proven
their drying In Kansas, and insist tina
their stock is healthy. This may be trul
IN one sense, and not In another. Iii

fact that Texas cattle may be sound il

is. The same ground grazed OYsr sub

twenty years ago when SO much damag
was done TO domestic cattle by the herd
driven into those states from the south

taken then to protect the live stock il

The above is just the kind of an item
that ought to be floating around the
country credited to an Emporia paper.
But we will have to get canning

Just "Iaying for" a paragraph Of
the above nature concerning this city,
and we would very much like g little
assistance in this matter from some Of
our home capitalists. Emporia is a
much better town, in many respects, for
a canning establishment than Atchlson.
In this connection might also be stated
the fact that pork packing enterprise
at this place ought to be worked up to q
definite and actual basis. Here is Lyon
county and all this rich territory tributary
to it in the adjoining Countless vicln
ity that ranks with the best vegetable
and fruit growing districts anywhere
and yet not dollar invested IN factories

come here and take an interest in thes
things when home money is so shy @
the enterprises in question. This cit
and county has the material for tn
strongest kind of combination of cap
tai IN these two enterprises of pork pack
ing and fruit and vegets

opinion, the home men that must tackl

by the horns. Then when we first sho'

THE TwDTAN TROURIES

Commonwealth: Mr.. G. j. Stone,
prominent cattieman Of the south
west. arrived In this city yesterday.
He had just passed through that country
IN the Indian Territory which includes
the Cheyenne Iutian reservation and re-
lated several interesting facts. He said:
This trouble has been brewing for
some time, III fact about six years and
the dissatisfaction of the Cheyennes has
daily been increasing. This tribe can
muster between 600 and 1000 fighting
warriors. This number does not in
clude the old men Tor they are peacea-
BILE and not inclined in any way to dis
satisfaction. 1t is the young hotheaded
bucks. AS to arms they are equipped
with about the best made, almost TO q
man using repeating rifles. They OBJ
tanned these in this manner. Whenever
an order would be issued by the govern
ment to disRrm them they would turn in
such old and broken arms as they had
in their possession and were useless and
retained tho5e which were ut to use ..
Thus 1t Will be seen that If they
once 60 on the war path they can do
vast amount of damage before they are
restrained. The whites IN the vicinity

imminent and great deal of anxiety is
expressed on many sides as to the result
of the trouble. These Cheyennes are q
very war like tribe and have once before
caused your state many dollars and
precious lives, and it is well that you
prepare yourself against them. It may
be that the active preparations which
are now being made to prevent an out
break will have the desired effect on the
indians but as yet sufficient troops
have not arrived to attain this end.
Unless they return to their peaceful
habits in q few days as sure as 1 am
talking to you now, they will commence
their humane work of Draining help
less women and children and destroying
everything in sight. As far 1 can see,
they have no real cause for this fight and
trouble. The. present agent, who 10 with
them, seems to be iquite we'll liked by
the tribe generally. AS much so as any
official of that kind could be-"
From the above 6would seem that the
precautions of the governor in calling
the attention of the authorities TO this
affair was timely and we'll conceived.

TOPEKA, June 27.-The governor is in

To the Governor of Kansas:
have had the honor to receive your
excellency's letter of yesterday. In view
OF, the late repoTtstln the newspapers con-
corning the alleged breaking out OF the
Cheyennes am not surprised at your
anxiety about the counties bordering on
the Indian Territory. am happy TO
assure you that IN my judgment, found
ed upon the latest reports from Fort
Reno and the cantonment, that no i'm
our state Is to be apprehended
from the Cheyennes, or sny other In
dians. There has recently been good
deal of excitement among the CneYennes
and some of their young men have been
insubOrdlnate, and in some instances
have acted very badly. This indicates
among the Indians who have been quiet
on q reservation SO many years, that
| there exists somewhere what they con-
ceiYe to be grievance. The govern
ment has appointed commission to as
certain whether or not they have just
| cause of complaint. If the commission
finds they have, the government will un-
doubtedly correct it. II it finds they
have not, it Is equally certain the govern
ment will take efficient steps to reduce
them to submission and 1t is believed
with sufficient force and preparation, te
confine whatever trouble may result u

Should anything occur, which there Il
reason to believe threatens danger to anY
portion of the citizens OF your state or

at once but will do all IN my power Il
prevent it. I inclose copy of tele
gram received last night which show:
that the Cheyennes will be glad to NEE
