LOUISVILLE, Dec. 23.-The strike Of
freight brakemen on the Louisville &
Nashville railroad is confined to the main
system between Louisville and Nashville

An Old Nan Cowhfdsd.

AUGUSTA, Ga. Dec. 2S.-The sensation
in Augusta is a cOwhiding administered
by MIR. Thomas D Murphy. the night ed
itor Of the Chronicle, upon Mr.. George
Symms, an insurance agent. Mr.. Symms
Is a man of 65 years Of age. and is highly
respected in this community, where he has
resided for many years. 1t seems that
Mr. Symms msde some remark at which
Mr., Murphy took offense. and he procured
a twisted cowhIde and went in search Of
him. Mr. Symms was found talking to q
friend IN the door of Daily and ARM
strong's dry goods store on 6roadWsy
when Murphy attacked him, dealing two
or three fearful blows before anyone neal
could interfere. Friends then took MUIR
ply in charge and carried him away. The
matter has been considerably discussed or
the streets and around the hotels, but NJ
one seems to know exactly the cause o.
the attack. The friends of both parties
are Silent as to the cause.

READING NEWS.

READING, Dec. 23.-I wish you a merry
Christmas and happy New Year.
And now a short review of 1886, as to
Reading and vicinity.
Reading is one Of the Kansas towns tina
is without q newspaper or lawyer. We
need paper, but can do without . lawyer
Our village has one hotel, two livery and
feed stables, one harness shop, one wagon
shop, one blacksmith shop, and we need
another most OF the year. There is one
hardware store, two dry goods and grocery
stores, one meat market, two barber
shops, and every advantage for as many
more. There is lumber yard, q drain
tile factory, and land office. Then we
have one Congregational, one Methodist
Episcopal, one Baptist and one Roman
Catholic church; also a school house with
i've rooms In II, and three schools are now
in session.
During the year 1886 the farmers have
suffered on account of dry weather, poor
crops and low prices for beet and pork,
which are the leading articles sod from
our farms.
During the year the school dis
tTict built q house at a cost
OF $1,000. The Baptist church has
o6pOnO0O some foOO; LIZ d. Sn0lOOn nus
added to his store building some $500 /;
the NJ. E. parsonage an addition of over
5000; VIM. Paine new house, $400; Ed.
Wilmore a dwelling costing $500, and
others IN small dwellings, or additions and
improvements to their homes, making
the sum fully 1000 for the year.
There is probably more acres Of extra
good land around Reading than any other
town in eastern Kansas, unless it is on the
Kaw river.
The people who pass our town for west
eIu Kansas every week would find 1t more
TO their advantage to stop off here and
look than to invest IN the western part o.
the state where 1t Is |, 900 feet higher above
the sea than it lie in Lyon county. There
is some good land yet for sale, and alsC
| q few excellent farms.
DIR. and Mrs. Biddle start east to-day Il
| spend the winter.

there is good opening for good physi

which number Of days will be greatly
shortened by the said sickness and dis

the poisonous and unhealthful condition
thereof as aforesaid. That by reason of
the aforesaid facts this plaintiff has been
and is damaged In the sum OF ten tbous

mands judgment against said defendant
for ten Thousand dollars.

THE SALVATION ARMY.

This band OF workers which has been
present in our city for the past ten weeks
10 knownt TO nearly every man, woman and
child In EDporia. Their novel mode OF
worship on street corners has attracted
attention and created sympathy. Since
abandoning the skating rink building the
salvation meetings have been held in an
old frame building south of the railroad
on Commercial street. Persecution greets
the SalvAtlonisls In every city in the lard,
and EmpOriA has not been an exception to
the rule. With q view to exposing the
unruly, not to say dIscourteous persons,
who create these disturbances. the meet
ing last night was attended by . repre-
sentative OF The NEWS. Fortunately for
the toughs they observed more than their
ordinary show Of good breeding, not
more than halt dozen beng elected
from the room by the seven
foot and quarter con-
vert, Mr.. Harding. From the platform
TO the front door the room was literally
packed. not less than 25O persons being
present. A News reporter, seeking an
interview with Captain Frank this morn
ing, was ushered up . flight of rick
ETY. stairs In the building now occupied
BY the officers of the army. Resching the
landing . door bearing the sign OF
GIllett, Forde s. Co. opened into the bed

kindly arose from the bed, and while
making his o o'clock toilet answered the
reporters questions.
s'The meeting lat night was large and
fairly orderly. But last Sunday night the
room WAS packed and enough people
turned away TO all an ordinary church, -
said the captain. as he wiped the soapsuds
from his eyes.
"Has Jour work here been satisfactory ~
"To answer that l refer you to the

I'VE have four stations, one at Kansas
