in Comanche county concerning the

rily say that there must be 500 worth
of improvements, but If they have not
got what is worth that, we want TO
know why they could not do better. "A
house 10Xl2, nine acres broke is no de-

In fact be In inches, II may be a hole i'm

take the final afIldavit that YOU then
transmit the proof, and it ought also be
handed TO you by the notary or other
officer who took the proof. IL is rather
slim to allow an interested party TO
carry his own proof. This will soon be
the rule and proof will be rejected I'M

it will be his duty TO exact the same
from the othcr officer"

lss6-Get in the Procession!
After thirteen years of waiting, Med
icine Lodge is now a railroad town.
/ The ears ere here, right i'm the corpora
ton limits. Real. live cars. and engines
that can toot and snort and whistle!
And railroad men, too, with greasy ia
ces, who wear skull caps, carry lanterns,
chew fat tobacco and swear! A tele-
graph, too. that can carry our messages
quicker than thoughtto distant friends.
or persistent creditors! And express
companies that break mp our packages
and imagine us national banks when
they make their chargesl And we will
have crippled boys, runaway teams,
double damages for our cattle that are
killed. and, last sad thought of all, we
will know no more of the rural simple
lty that has surrounded the country
town of Medicine Lodge, for we are big
enough to wear long dresses!
The Indian village Of fifteen years ago
is gone; the village started by a swind-
ling town company has passed away;
the improyised fort of "a is no more;
The cattlemen's trading point has re-
tired, and to-day we blossom out on
this bright New Year of 1856 as n city
with nearly all the luxuries, snbstan-
tials, sins, vices and good traits Of older
towns!
How 90 we look in our new clothes?
What do you think of ms now,
Mesdames Harper, Wellington, Wich-
tia, Newton and Hutchinson? You old
maids that laughed when we were a
Miss, and you who laughed in derision
when big men kissed us?
We are away up, and d-t y-u #

Seriously: The Southern Kansas
railroad to-day crossed Elm creek and
entered the city Of Medicine Lodge, and
in n few more days the depot grounds
will be Cited up with nearly three miles
of side track, the largest depot on the
line, commOdious stock-yards, round
houses, repair shops, numerous ware
houses and all of the machinery for
conducting the terminus of the main
line Of an important railroad.
This is an event lOng-looked for. and
Iit now creates exceeding great Joy
among all classes.
Doubling Thomases even have to ac-
knowledge that they were mistaken;
and those who predicted the road COM
ing at some far distant day have to
acknowledge that the arrival could not
have been more opportune.
The survey on which the present road
bed was made, was run in July, 1884, by
Engineer Marvin.
Work was commenced at Attica on
the line leading here in July last. Since
its commencement, Engineer Mccoy
has been in charge of the construction.
The distance, p miles, was therefore
accomplished, including track laying in
little more than four months. Con-
