ON TO MEMPHIS.

Memphis papers are discussing with
no little vigor the building of road
from Memphis into Southern Kansas

been laid out. The Avalanche, n prom

the scheme by the Gould and
other systems centering there.

Kansas City as a supply point for this

and the fight made upon it is only

THE CONFEDERATE BONDS.

The fact that demand for the pay
ment of $500, 100000 in Confederate
bonds is actually before congress. has
been referred TO a committee and has
been argued by counsel for the bond
holders, is startling one.
IL is of course impossible that any
such measure should pass the present
congress. or any congress in the near
future. The demand for payment,
however, will not be abandoned. De
feat viii only inspire the bondholders
with courage to renew their iabors.
This appears certain TO be the great
political issue of the future. The coun-
sci for the bondholders claim that the
constitutional amendment forbidiirg
the payment of the rebel debt was not
properly adopted and is invalid

The Garden City Sentinel says that
the druggists of Wichita have entered
into an agreement not TO sell any
whisky in less quntity than four
ounces unless on prescription of regu-
lar physicians; nor any beer in less
quantities than one bottle. Each OF
the druggists deposits with the pro-
bate Judge 800, to be paid TO the poor
fund of the county if he violates the
agreement, and he will also have his
permit revokcd.-Commonwcalth.
Correct. The Wichita druggists
are law-abidiug citizens wiling to do
anything within reason TO satisfy the
public that the drug store is preferable
to the open saloon. Every man must
sign his own blank So long as be is
sober enough 20 do so in a legible
hand. Wichita is loyal and great in
everything. small in nothing.

The Indians at the Rosebud agency

The Indians at the Rosebud agency
went on strike the other day. The
agent refused to give them their agri.
cultural implement unless they would
agree 10 use them upon land that he
designated. They promptly held g
meeting of the lodge and ordered &
strike. They used the moral suasior
so familiar TO the people along the
Missouri Pacific, and TO so much effect
that the agent handed over the nipple
ments and set up to the red strikers
three barrels of sugar and a job lot o!
fancy groceries. The red man is rap
