Several Important Measures Con
sidered in Both Houses.
Council.


The committee on the judiciary re-
ported the bill comforting equal privileges
upon outside railroad corporations, in
tending to build into the territory, that
are enjoyed by railroad corporations al
ready in the territory, with amendments.
One is the following: Provided, how
ever, that nothing herein contained shall
be construed as granting to any such cor
p%oration any right to the enjoyment, uses
or privilege it may claim or have by rea-
son of anything the charter contained,
other than is now given by the laws incor-
porating like companies in this territory
Another, relating to the agent, specifies
that he shall maintain an Office in the ter
ritory. With these and other important
amendments, it is recommended that the
bill shall pass.
The committee to which the bill regu-
lating insurance companies was Submitted
reported the following amendment: PRO
vided, however, in all cases of life insur-
ance companies, the surplus earnings, in
hand. of each thereof shall be added to its
capital stock. and if the two thus added
together shall aggregate the amount re-
CURED in the act of which this act is an
amendment, such company or companies
shall have all the rights, privileges and
powers given to companies having a CAPT
tai of at least 500. 900. otherwise not.
With the amendment the bill is recon-
mended for passage.
Council bill 81, providing that surveys
shall be made by surveyors of the counties
in which disputes arise as to boundary
lines, was read the first time.
The council went into the committee of
the whole, Mr.. Deloney in the chair, and
considered the bill introduced by Mr..
Wright to afford permanent title.
Mr.. Mccormick moved to strike out
hereafter and insert thereafter.
Mr.. Wright, in discussing the question,
said that if any person had a claim IN
property it imposed upon the necessity Of
making hat claim within five years, or
forever after holding his peace.
The amendment proposed by MIR. Me-
Cormick was accepted and the bill was
reported favorably by the committee of
the whole.

Court Scene.

Following is stenographic report of
a speech, delivered before the board of
county commissioners last Wednesday.
pending the action Of the board ON a
petition for new road:
Defendant: tGesticulating, with Pc
titlon in hand.l I'm here to say right
now, that that petition isn't worth a
d. That bond isn't worth anything: =
Interested spectator: Its a better
bond than the one signed by you.''
Defendant: MY bond is good as yours
by d. sight, and VIII get the stuff. too
If you say so. I'm here now to say that
that bond isn't worth a Cd d! That
road runs mile through my land, and
I'm here now to say it amt goin'
through" Throws the petition ON the
table,
The interested spectator interposes
something about "beefD and 1.-The last
roundup" The clenched fist and angry
eye portend storm, which is happily
prevented by the commissioners calling
upon the sheriff to eject the forcible and
profane logician. Then smile creeps
over the countenances of those present.
While the commissioners resume busi-
ness in peace.

General John y. Logan came to Kan
sas to start his presidential boom. He
selected the State Sunday school con-
vention at Ottawa as a suitable place
for delivering the widest kind of q har-
angue in which he abused the president
ana the democratic party, much TO the
satisfaction of the rank radical pcliti-
clans who were waiting for the KEY
note. lie said: Soldiers should unite
and wrest the government from its pres
ent hands and care for their crippled
and helpless brothers." Inasmuch as
she government is now paving eighty
millions of dollars to its crippled and
uncrippled patriots, who fought i'm the
war of the rebellion. it does not appear
that they arc being sadly neglected.
But now, the Kansas republican politi
cian has something tOysll about; he can
answer all unpleasant questions pro-
pounded yringing in the Logan speech
about the poor soldiers; ne can turn off
all references to swindling and disgraced
state house commissioners by giving
Cleveland adig; he can avoid references
to the many disgraceful lynchings in
Ills state by pointing TO Logan's defense
OF the old soldier; he can excuse the
stealings of public lands by Kansas rail
roads by again telling Of the poor and
neglected soldier. In fact, from now
on Logan speech will be the rade mecum
of the republican ranter i'm Kansas.

Sharon News: 1--WE think the citi-
zens of Medicine Lodge have no reason
to complain az the turn out of people
from Sharon and vicinity to their cele-
bration on the Sd. The people of this
valley entertain very warm feeling
of friendship for the Lodge and her
citizens, and they show it on every POS
sible occasion, but whether this feeling
is reciprocal on the part of our neigh
bors, we of course have no means OF
knowing" The editorof the News, be-
ing frequent visitor here, his father
respected citizen of this town, and the
editor at all times meeting with cor
dial receptin here, should know that
Medicine Lodge does appreciate the
warm feeling of friendship held by the
people of Sharon. We are proud of
Sharon and Sharon valley, and will al
ways be glad when we can show our

1t occurs that the county commits
sioners should have meeting in Au-
gust or September and re-district the
county into townships, voting precincts
and commissioner districts. rs now
arranged, the townships lap ovey into
the commissioner districts and the vot-
ingprecincts are establishe without re-
gard to the townships. In a general
county election, this makes but little
difference, but in an election for town
ship officers, or in vote on township
matters, it is important that the voting
precincts and township lines cores
pond. 1t will not be safe to let this
matter lay oyer until the regular Octo-
Der meeting, for there may not be time
enough after the new lines are estab-
lished to give the notice of elections
