in such cases that the Senate should

LAWYERS TAUAoLoGY.-The law
yers abuse Of our good English is &C.
plorable. The New York Language
Club is ventilating this, and the dis
tinguished LAWYER, David Dudley
Field, one of the members, gave many
instances of the abuse in the way of
tautology, at a recent meeting. In
the ordinary New York deed of trans
fer, he said, there were $50 words of
which $50 were superhuous. In the
ordinary mortgage form there were
1900 of which l,240 were superhuous.
For deeds and mortgages, Mr.. Field
said, 10 cents per 100 words were paid.
There were recorded in New York du-
ring one month 6SS deeds, and 1888
mortgages. eff my code had been
adopted" said Mr.. Field, "the people
would have saved 1891 on the deeds
and 1914 on the mortgages, saving
Of over s. 500 per month to the people.
The people Of the State pay over
100000 yearly for superauous
words"

RAILROADS.

The following is from the Real Estate
Gazette, published this week by Palmer,
BIriels & Wheeler, of this city:
The greatest civilizer we have is the
locomotive. 1t not only brings us easy
and rapid ingress and egress TO and
from our county. but, in connecting us
with the great outside world, it aids us
in obtaining all the necessities of life,
that our county does not, as yet, afford.
With the railroad come men Of wealth,
enterprise and learning. With the rail-
ruad come mills. factories, stOckyards,
packing-houses and a thousand means
of livelihood for the laboring man.
We say, "boom the railroads" They
benefit everyone-they damage no one.
We hear some old settler say, Il don't
want railroad; it only increases my
taxes" We say taxes be-well, paid,
of course. Then we try to explain u
them that with every road that runs
through our county, the increase IN the
value of their land, in six months, is
greater than their taxes will amount TO
in ten years. Many of those who came
to this county by wagon, from all parts
of the east, and helped toward the first
settlement of the county, undergoing
the greatest privatiOns, are now enjoy
ing quiet and repose. They have grown
rich! Howp They tcorked and tcdited.
What for? The railroad! 1t came, and
they are now reaping the reward of
their labors. With the coming of the
great civIliZer, their lands so advanced
in prices as 10 make them actually
wealthy. There are numbers who came
to this county only three years ago, with
all they possessed covered by what was
left of once broad brimmed hat, who
would not sell out to-day for $4,000:
a larger number still who would not
take $500; and still greater number
who could walk out any day with clear
$1,000 winnings.
AS far as taxes are concerned, we may
add here, for the benefit of those who
do not know it already, that with every
mile of railroad that CUES through our
county, they bring enough rolling stock
and taxable property 10 more than pay
the interest on any bonds that are vo-
ted by the county. The farmer does not
have to pay cent more taxes, only on
the increased value of his land. And
surely there can be no man so foolish
As 10 kick on the increase of his wealth.
We have already, as before stated, one
road-the Southern Kansas-replete
with every accommodation, and con-
Quoted with the greatest possible con-
sideration for its patrons. This road,
we understand, will pull out i'm a very
short time for the far west. We have
propositions from two other roads, one
from the north, and one from the south
east. We say, let them come. Do not
throw a straw in their way. Rather. do
all ia your power TO assist in bringing
them into our county.

Near IIavensville, small town IN

farmer, named Samuel Gordon, sud-

him with club. Ills strange conduct

the man Gordon, who had also shown
evidences OF great excitement during
the meeting, ran away through the
darkness when they were approached,
and some time afterward Clements
was discovered holding Gordon down
and gnawing his face like beast.
The pursuing party returned To the
church for n light and assistance and
when they again arrived at the spot
where the mad men were last seen. a
shocking sight was before them.
Clements was sitting beside the dead
body Of Gordon eagerly devouring the
heart, whichhe had cut from the body.

There is trouble between the Fort
Scott road and the people of New Kio-
wa. The road was delay ed in extend
ing west from Anthony by reason of
the township bond propositions failing
in Eagle and Blaine townships, Harper
county, when first submitted. Though
the propositions carried at the second
election, it will be impossible to get the
road TO New KiOwa by January LIST,
and the company asked for an extern
sion of time, which Kiowa township
was willing to give; but the people
down there were not willing to issue
the bonds and have them held in es-
crow until the road was completed.
while the company insisted on that pro-
ceeding. \ hitch occurred and ut last
accounts, compromise had not been
effected. In the mean time, the com
pany say they will build to Hazelton
and then decide what route to take.
whether northwest To Medicine Lodge
or south to the Territory line. We
have an idea, however. that Kiowa
will get the road just the same, wheth-
er It re-votes the bonds or not. When
a railroad company has decided OH
making certain point, it generally
gees there, bonds or no bonds.
