UATTLElIEN,S LEASES

Topeka Capital: The hardship of
immediate action is the more appar-
ent when we remember that the leases
have been in operation long enough to
have adjusted good many other condi-
lions; or rather, a good many other things
have been done with reference to the ex-
lstence of the leases, and their cancel
lation now will necessarily effect
changes elsewhere. This will require
time. Had these leases never been made
the cattle now ranging thereon would
be at some other place; and now to find
that other place will be more difficult than
1t would have been before the leases were
made. Aud in view of the fact that the
leases ~ure honestly made, made with
the consent of the Indians and with the
knowledge of the government, 1t would
be proper 1t seems TO us, to allow reas.
enable time To remove the cattle, enough
time so that no direct loss will follow the
| change. The leases are not trespsss-
ers they are there not as iniruders but
as persons who first asked and obtained
consent of the Indians, and then asked
approval of the interior department
this approval was withheld, but the de-
partmcnt did not object SO long as the
Indians were satisfied. This gives the
leases the color of law, so that they alt
entitled TO reasonable notice TO leave.

The Way the Rule is Enforced.

Here, boy, black my bootsn shouted
a man in front of the Astor house yes
terday, as he backed up against the
stone wall. The little Italian gamin
threw himself into position for tho
shine, and had polished one shoe, when
something like $50 pounds of human
flesh staggered down the hotel steps,
gave the bootblack a kick, and ex-
ciaimed:
''Git away from here, you young
scamp; your place is not around here.
Come, skip, and to emphasize the re-
mark another kick was administered to
the lad that made him grab his box and
jump away.
.'Well, you're fine specimen, said
the astonished and indignant patron of
the bootblack. you ought to be
ashamed of yourself. Do you own the
earthP"
"It's agin the rules of the hotel. You
will have to go across the street by tho
park
The stranger called tho frightened
bootblack, and moved along the side
walk about twenty feet, where he back
ed up against the hotel again and told
the lad to shine up the other shoe. Be-
fore the boy had finished the big porter
walked past, but did not exercise his
authority again.-Nct0 York Sun.

A story of Hugo.

During the days of Victor Hugo's
exile in Guernsey an English lady, who
had for some time been living with her
family at st. Saviour, near the center OF
the island, missed her youngest son, an
intelligent child of about 5 years old.
The boy, it afterward appeared, had
strayed from his nurse, and, wandering
aimlessly about, had grown weary, and
had quite eontentedly gone to sleep in
the open air. Hugo, on one of his soli-
tary rambles, found the child just
awakening, and recognizing him as the
son of lady whom he knew by sight,
he hoisted him on to his back. and
greatly delighted, cantered with him
across country to his own home a
storm came on, and it was decided that
the youngster could not be sent back
that night. A message, however, al
Iayed the mothers anxieties. and next
morning the boy was returned, together
with profuse apologies, many thanks,
and huge basket of flowers and fruit.
Upon being asked how be had enjoyed
his unprecedented visit, the child said,
VERY much. indeed n. Hugo played
at lions with me all the evening. He
was the lion-under the table. And,
do you know, once when he came out
of his den and growled, he pulled of
| the tablo-cloth and broke ever so many
glasses. Il was such funp 1t is not
given to every one to have played at
| lions with the author of Lies Aiser-
ables''

This intelligence, although anticipated
for many months, will be received by
the people Of this state with ali the
shock and sorrow OF . personal bereaye-
ment.
For nearly q quarter Of century past,
Ulysses 3. Grant has been the first citi-
zen Of the United States. His exalted
patriotism, his genius as q soldier, his
brilliant services as the commander of
our armies, his honest and loyal ed
ministratlon Of the presidency, and

life, so signally illustrated during his
whole career. have filed the world with
his fame; and the citizens of every civil
lied nation Will mingle their tears with
those OF this country around his open

As mark ofFespect for his illusirious
memory, the executive council has di
rected that the state house be draped in
mourning for period of thirty days,
and that the executive offices of this state
be closed on the day of his funeral.
And l do hereby suggest and request
that the people of Kansas assemble, on
that day, in churches, school houses and
other places of public assembIage, there
to do fitting honor 10 the memory of the
most renowned soldier of the age and
the first citizen OF the republic
In testimony whereof have hereunto
subscribed my name and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the state. Done

Is Logan a Gypsy2

By the way, speaking of John A.
Logan. writes Carp to Cleveland Leader,
reminds me of a conversation which 1
had with Congressman Thomas, of uli-
nois, last year, in which MIR. Thomas,
in speaking of the jet black hair and
extraordinary features of Gen. Logan,
announced it as his belief that Gen.
Logan was of Zingari origin, and that
his family in ireland were descended
from the Zingari, or gypsies, who, COM
ing out of India in the first part of the
fifteenth century, spread all over Eu-
rope and came into England, Scotland,
and North Ireland. There are at pres
ent over twenty thousand gypsies in
England, and from the English gypsies
in the past have come some noted men.
John Bunyan, the noted Christian, is
said to have been q gypsy The En-
glish gypsies are noted for their braV-
cry and daring spirit, and one of their
strong qualities is their love for their
friends and the honesty which they OBJ
serve in their relations with them. 1
think Mr.. Thomas told me that both
the father and mother of Senator Lo-
gan sprang from this origin, but it may
have been, he said, only his father.

about the navigation of the
Arkansas have been published.

OF the "big muddy of Kansas" Yesterday
q party OF Winfield folks went down on
an excursion TO Arkansas City and
chartered the steamer The explanation
of the delay mentioned in the following
private telegram to a party here who
was interested, is supposed to be that
the extreme hot weather caused such an
evaporation from the water of the river
that the craft grounded. During the
cool night the river rose again and let
the folks off the "bar:"

about fifteen miles off the coast of Ar

Exchange: In 1875 there were but
little over 100000 sheep In Kansas;
now there are nearly 100000. The
number has been increased scarce more
than the quality has improved. The
visitor at the great Kansas fairs will see
as fne sheep as America boasts. Sheep
do remarkably we'll, and the adaptation
of the state to the growth of fine wooded
animals, the broad grazing grounds. the
mild winters. and the abundance of 70 ID
all unite to make Kansas favorable To-
cation for the wool growers. Nor have
they been slow to appreciate this, as a
glance at the sheep statistics WILL prove

offer no greater advantages to the sheep

EDaERToN, Wis, July 2S.-Wednes-
day last Miss Florence M. COan, aged
20, died suddenly while visiting at
Oconto. Her body was brought home
the following day and arrangements
made for the funeral service, which took
place Saturday. Although apparently
dead the usual evidences of dissolution
are not present, and she was therefore
not inferred. The body has at no time
been rigid, nor are the eXlremItles cold,
and NO signs of decomposition are vIsi-
BILE. Before her death she sxacted the
promise from her mother that If eyer
she should die suddenly Der remains
should be kept until her relatives were
certain of her death, as she had q horror
of being buried alive. Her remains will
be kept unburIed until death ID estab-
lished beyond all doubt.
