ELIAS S. SLOWER.

Major E. S. Slower, formerly lieutenant
governor of Kansas, but for several years
past a resident of Albuquerque, New Mex
leo, had hand so badly shattered by the
discharge of gun while out hunting the
other day that amputation was necessary.
Newton Republican.
Major Slower represented Sedgwick
county and this entire portion of the state,
including what is now Harvey county and
all southwest in the state senate in 1870 and
in 1871, at which time he lived in Council
Grove, Morris county His district reached
within thirtyfve miles of Topeka and was
1875 miles wide by 800 miles long on an
average district which to-day contains
more than one fourth of the entire inhabi-
tants of the state He was afterwards
elected lieutenant governor of the state and
was also afterwards a candidate for the
United States senate. His many old friends
will be sorry to hear of his serious mishap.

ABOUT THE SIZE OF IT.

From the Lawrence Daily journal.
The Wichita EAGLE has a larger circula
ton than any paper in Kansas, and larg
er circulation in the state than either Of the
Kansas City papers. Its growth as daily
has been even more stupendous and phe
nomenal than that of the magical and
wonder working city in which it is pub
lished.
This coming from one of the Oldest editors
of the state, who is undoubtedly one of the
most competent judges of the relative
standing of the various dailies to which he
alludes, is little astonishing, but probably
not more astonishing than true. 1t is very
certain that the EAGLES circulation by
news dealers in the towns of the south
west and by train boys, is phe-
nomenal, and it is a circulation that
has grown in and of itself, and not through
agents or solicitors The news men simply
telegraph their orders and they are filled at
the train or by express. The EAGLE has
made no blow about this, for the simple
reason that its proprietors have not believ-
ed that there was any profit in the "circu-
lation racket" But as the subject is up,
without affirming or denying the Daily
Journals assertion as to general circula-
ton, we will say and declare that there are
a greater number of EAGLES distributed by
carrier in the city of Wichita than there is
of any other daily in any other city in the
state of Kansas. The EAGLES circulation
in this city is in charge of circulator, an
assistant and nine boys

THE UPPER NILE.

Among the many distinguished men who
have visited this part Of the state within
the past few months, we d, not remember
to have seen the Hon. NJ NJ Murdoch, of
the WICHITA EAGLE. Will the gentleman
who in the near future is to come before
the people of the state as candidate for
governor please explain this neglect? No
man should even pretend to be kansan
unless he has visited the upper Arkansas
Valley, and enjoyed the advantage of kick
ing against the people who have reclaimed
the country and made the desert bloom
with the harvest of wheat and corn.-Gar-
den City Daily Sentinel.
Brother Coutant has thrown into the
above brief paragraph subject matter
enough for two column reply. But we
dodge the two column job by admitting %
that we do not rank among the distinguish
ed, o. that we are not candidate, 81 that
any explanation we might offer would not
suffice, "a that we are out of kicks and
have nothing but praise left for the people
who have caused that country to bloom
with the harvest of wheat and corn"

The CITIZEN does not like to be
considered presumptuous or boast-
full, but it feels inclined to claim a
little credit for the heavy rush OF
tobacco to the Asheville market now.
It's constant and impartial reports of
the market, the sales, prices and
advantages, and its very large cir-
culation in all the counties among
the substantial people, have attract
ed attention. and, we ..think, have
had influence. We are pleased with
the result, any way; ana shall strive
but the harder to attract the atten>
ton and trade of the people of all
this section and East Tennessee to
our city. We know our market and
business men are not surpassed any
where, and we also know it to be to
the advantage of all this section to
build up large, Aosrishing home
market.

LITTLE THINGS.

LITTLE THINGS.
One Of the great advantages of 2
large home market is the opportu
nifty it affords people. specially far,
mels aud horse9drivers, to dispose
of little things. such as eggs, butter,
chickens, vegeta bles, &C., &C., which
they do not themselves. need the
use of, and, some of which would
spoil on their hands could they not
sell, We venture to say that the
people of Asheville pay out thous-
ands upon thousands of dollars
every year., In. small quantities.
Good country gardens contribute
very largely to the market of Ashe-
vile; and the large ard growing
population make good market for
all s.such things the year round.
The larger the place can grow. the
more population we can have, the
greater will be the demand for all
such. things. And the more busi-.
ness which can be concentrated in
Asheyille, the more popuIa-
ton the city will have !;
business makes population, and
population makes business. The
people of all this mountain country
are directly interested in building
up Asheyille-in selling what they
have to sell, and buying what they
have to buy, in this market, We
can say this the more readily, be-
cause produce and farm products
generally, sell for more, cash, on
this market than any other, more, in
most cases, than at other markets
leaving out freights to reach them;.
and all goods and articles wanted
by our people ale sold as low in,
as they can be had in any
other market, and, our merchants
and dealers, getting their freights
in heavy quantities, in carload lots
generally, have some advan-
tages over smaller shipments, which
advantages they give to their custo-
mers. So all the people can see the
real, direct advantage to them of
having, and helping build up, a
large home market. Every indi-
vidual in Western Carolina is in>
terested. We hope they will all
every individual-appreciate it. 1t
is for their own good they should
do so.

ESQ. SUMMEY's COURT.

Ourjudicial and judicious neigh>
Dor, Justice Summey had some iln>
portant cases before him yesterday.
The first was the case of the State
against John Sellers, for assault with
intent to commit rape, and assault
with a deadly weapon. Sellers
lives in Buncombe, near Alexander.
Some six or eight weeks ago, it is
charged. he made an assault upon
his wife's sister, a young woman,
named Malinda Wise, with criminal
intent. She brought to her defense,
as a persuader, a goodly-sized billet
of wood, which she let fall with he
roic energy upon the receding por-
ton of his frontal Uranium. Irrita-
ted at this resistance, he plunged a
knife into her, penetrating, danger
ously, her lower left side. Sellers
forthwith had an engagement in the
historic coves of our sister State,
Tennessee; but a day or two ago,
reckoning upon his freedom for SO
long ventured back to the Warm
Springs, and began making violent
threats ais to what he would do if an
attempt was made to arrest him, and
as charged by his wife, threatened
to ''cut his wife. S heart out" Sheriff
Rich was notified of his presence,
and he forthwith deputized a party
to arrest him, which was done, and
he was brought up yesterday, and
was, by Esq. Summey. committed
to Jail to await hearing lie was
therefore conducted to jail by the
Sheriff. Sellers has the reputation
of being very bad and dangerous
man. He certainly looks it.
The next two cases were
.consarnin' of little hog.n Itwas
brought from Ivy township, to be
heard before Esqs. Joel Brigham
and Summey jointly. The defen-
dants were j !. NJ. Allen, white, and
Joe Fox, colored. Four hogs are
involved, besides the defendants,
Defendants, Allen and Fox, waived
examination, and were held to an
swer at the present term of the In~
ferior Court.
