KANSAS d. PANHANDLE n. r..


The Kingman Leader, of last week,
tells something about the Kansas and
Panhandle railroad that we have all
been wanting to know, as follows:
II was organized little over a year
since, in May, 1885, by some half dozen
Of the leading BUSH esS men of King
man, ably assisted by friends at Hal
stead. Messrs. Almond, Babcock, Ber-
ryr IIOlstein, Alexandra, Stout, Strick-
lRAd~ Thomas. Newman, and. others,
went down into their pockets, and
worked unti5ingly liz subsidies were
voted in Minnesota, White and Gales
burg townships The matter was then
turned over to Capt. l.. e.. Almond,
who, from the first, has been the ener-
getic president of the company. lie
kept it until he had voted nearly solid
line of subsidies from here to IIalstead,
organized another company to cooper
ate, and voted subsidies by way Of New
ton to Marion Center, having only the
faith in the practicability of the road
TO stimulate him against all the dis
oOuTagementS which IL would be posi-
BILE for any one to overcome. These
have all vanished before his indOmita-
BILE will, however, and he now proudly
realizes n fullillment of his hopes.
About ten days ago negotiations which
had been pending for several weeks.
were finally closed, and the several
STOCK holders transferred their inter-
ests to syndicate of capitalists, who
have been authorized to build it as a
main branch Of the Missouri Paeifc
system. The old directors and officers
resigned and new set have been
elected. Mr.. Henry Foster is now pres
ident, and John McCuIlaugh, secretary
both of Independence, Kansas. They
will extend the road to an intersection
of the Gould system, at Council Grove,
running thence this way through Union
Center, IIalstead, Mount Hope, WGter-
loo, Kingman and Bross TO Medicine
Lodge, ard perhaps to Kiowa. Mr..
Daniels, chief engineer, is now in the
field, locating the road northeast from
this city. II materials can possibly be
obtained, the first thirteen miles, ez-
tending through Galesburg township
will be built before January lst, to save
the bonds of the latter township which
expire at the time mentioned. Mr..
McCUllagh and Capt. Almond, who is
nos in the employ of the company, are
in Barber county, submitting prOpO-
sition to build there. They will short,
" submit propositions to Peters, King
man and Liberty townships to vote sub
sides and secure the road.

SILVER At CALDRELL.

The Caldwell Times of last week has
the following regarding the silver ex-
citement down there:
The mining prospects were never so
good as now. All the superfuOus steam
OccasiOned by the excitement Of the
discovery has blown away, and people
are taking hold of the matter on bust
ness principles. Strangers, both pros
pectors and real estate spectators, are
arriving every day, and the general ap-
pearance of our industrial horizon looks
brighter than at any time in our histo-
ry as a city.
The greatest excitement of the week
was that OccasiOned by the military or
der dispatching two companies of troops
to our city to prevent prospectOrs from
invading that part of the Territory de-
seribed in last weeks Times, and which
is supposed to contain the richest ore.
They did not get there, however, until
about 200 claims were staked off, and
though there is great probability of
the miners resisting the troops, yet the
Times would counsel moderation and
peaceable submission to the military
authorities. A good deal of indigna-
ton was caused by the order, but more
sensible men, believing the general pol
icy Of the government to he strict COM
pliance with the stIpulatiOns Of the ex-
listing treaties, quietly left their claims
until such time as the government, in
its wisdom, shall see fit to throw the
country open to settlement. which, at
the furthest, can only be a short time.
Lewis, Richmond & O'Connor have
purchased 160 acres of mineral land
north of town, and are sinking shaft
there at present. They haye issued SOC
shares Of stock, and the certificates are
being bought up rapidly by capitalists,
both at home and abr0sa, and at good
figures.

Ex-President Arthur died at his resi-
dence in New York City, at O'Clock on
Thursday, November 18th. His death
was caused Ivy the rupture eA a small
bloOd-vessel of the brain, producing
cerebral paralysis, which, IN the pa-
TENTS enfeebled condition, proved fasal
in a few hours. Ills funeral took place
Monday, the remains being inferred in
Rural Cemetery, Albany, New York.
II was attended by the president and
his cabinet, congressional committee,
the governors of many states and many
other distinguished gentlemen. There
was little pOmp or parade about the
services, It having been requested by
the deceased that no extraordinary
ceremonies be allowed. Chester Allan
Arthur was born in Fairfield, Franklin
county, Vermont, October 5, 1880. Ills
father was a Baptist clergyman, who
came to this country from County An
trim, Ireland, when IS years old. The
ex-president graduated from Union col
lege, Schenectady, N. Y, in 1910; he
taught school and read law and entered
practice in New York City. His first
appearance IN politics was as a Henry
Clay Wing, and he was a delegate tn
the Saratoga convention that founded
the republican party. lie was quarter
master-general of the military forces Of
New York state during the war. After
the war he practiced law until Novem-
Der, 1871, when he was appointed by
President Grant rs collector of the port
OF New York, and In 1875 he was reap
pointed. In July, 1878, he was suspend
ell from Office by Hayes, because he, Ar
thur, was a Conkling republican. lie
was nominated for the vice-presIdency
at the Chicago republican convention,
and was elected with Garfield. His
wife died in 1880. lie left son, Allan

His career rs president was judiciOus
and satisfactory, and he was loved and
respected by all. Had he been the re-
publican nominee In 1854, he could have
been elected.

The Road Prom Anthony.

The Fort Scott and Wichita railroad
will make tremendous effort TO earn
the subsidies voted to it in Eagle and
Blaine townships, in Harper county, by
building the road to the Barber county
line by January LIST, provided the peO-
pie of KiOwa township will agree to re-
vote the and heretofore voted. 1t will
be impossible to construct the line from
Anthony to Kiowa by January LIST, the
date at which the KiOwa township aid
will expire. A delegation from Kiowa
and IazeltOn were in Wichita last Fri
day night, consulting with the railroad
officials, and one of the attorneys of the
road, Kos. Harris, went home with
them Saturday. 1t is not doubted that
the aid can be voted again in Kiowa
township, though it is possible that
many Of the citizens of that township
would prefer a read from the north.
The Wichita Eagle, Of Sunday, has
the following about this proposed road
to KiOwa:
As the Eagle has been largely instru-
mental in securing the consent of the
company to take this particular route,
and as the Missouri Pacific IS destined
to be such an important factor to this
section of the state, and to the territory
south of KiOwa, giving both HaZeltOn
and Kiowa competing lines, we trust
that the property owners ana people
may lend every possible assistance to
the local officers and construction COM
pany in the way of extending time, If
necessary, in securing the right-Of-way,
etc. If this line is not now secured. it
will inevitably go another route to the
territory, and route which the compa-
ny have been all the while inclined to
take. The Importance Of harmonious
work in this matter can hardly be over
estimated, and Wichita extends hand
and pleads that her friends be true to
themselves in unanimously closing with
this last opportunity Of securing the
only railway which can successfully
compete with any and all other roads.
Strike while the iron is hot.

G. J. Lovejoy, Of the LOvejoy-G Glass
