THE CHICAGO AND ROCK ISLAND.

The Wichita EAGLE explains that the
Rock Island road will build from Atchison
TO Wichita, via. Council Grove, Marion and
Peabody, and that Colonel Baker said so.
Whenever a colonel or Judge speaks out
over in Wichita, we always know that they
are telling the truth.-El Dorado Republic
can.
If the editor of the Republican would
read up more persistertly and carefully, he
would not lay himself open SO widely. The
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific have taken
out charter from Larken to Wichita.
Baker is the engineer of the line. Wichita
don't particularly care how the road comes
only that it comes. That it will come there
seems no doubt. As for FL Dorado's Mr..
W. NJ. Jones, we don't believe that that
gentleman is representing the Chicago and
Rock Island in any sense.
1t is our judgment that the Chicago and
Rock Island will run to Topeka, unless ii
agrees with the Northwestern or St. Paul to
keep out of Topeka, in which event it would
cross the Kaw from thirty to twenty miles
west of Topeka. If it does touch Topeka,
itshould cross the Santa Fe at Cottonwood
Falls, but certainly not further west than
EIor.,aa

AN EVENING OF NONSENSE.

A fair audience assembled last night to
witness the exhibition given by the Cobweb
company. The zeal with which the little
folks entered into their parts covered any
mistakes which their inexperience or age
might make. The girls with dresses en-
frame, and the boys In dress suits, furnished
life, and their dance of the laners drought

THE DIFFER ENCE.

The Santa Fe Railroad company has done
more for the cities of Topeka and Emporia
than for any other cities in Kansas. She
has expended million dollars in Topeka
and upwards of hundred thousand in En-
poris. These are the two towns which are
giving that road more trouble than all others
combined. Next to these towns that cor
poraiion has done more for Newton, next to
Newton Dodge City and Lawrence. The
Santa Fe in an early day secured some land
for stock yards and lots for depot purposes,
etc. in Wichita, but the land has grown too
valuable to spoil it by numbering it up with
depots, round houses and such. That COM
pany can take one hundred thousand dollars
any day for its property here, which origin
ally cost them nominal sum.

yesterday. The defendant sailed in as John
Doe, from Cory Gulch, in the Choctaw ma
ton. He had full armory and belt full OF
cartridges, and be was charged with carry
ing concealed weapons. He didn't look
like man who needed arms to protect him,
but ne had them all the same, and as grace
fully swinging at the hip pocket as though
he had passed through all the Indian wars.
When the Judge asked him if he could
stand raise of SIS and costs, he stood il
like little man, and went away from the
court room with ruffled feathers.
