SHEEP SHIPMENTS.

The Kansas roll road commissioners
day before yesterday, at Topeka, met
MIR. J. Leeds, general freight agent OF
the A., Z. & S. F., for the purpose OF
agreeing upon a rate of freight
charges for shipments of sheep IN
double-decked cars. Heretofore com.
plants have come in from all over the
state from sheep men of the western
country, who consider the present
rate on sheep excessive and discrimi.
mating. They want TO reduce the
present charge by securing double
decked shipments at nominal in.
crease upon the present rate for single
shipments. The value of car load OF
sheep may be safely put at $500, while
4 car load of cattle are worth from
$500 up. The difference between the
freights On cattle and sheep is only
$40, hence the desire of the sheep men
to increase the car capacity for sheep
by putting in two floors.

GREAT STORM PERIOD.

W. T. Foster, In the Lesveaworth Times.
AS we have predicted great storm
period, commencing about April p or
20, we want our readers 10 understand
the nature of these storms is they ap-
appear to us after careful calculations.
There is no prophesy about it. The
newspapers use the words weather
prophet" and while this is an i'm
proper appellation for any mcteoro-
logist, we viii not object to 1t, but in
sist that proper meaning be spilled
to the term. The word prophet" as
u biblical term carries with il the idea
of revelation frome the Supreme but
we disclaim any such idea as con-
nected with our weather forecasts. A
knowledge of the physical force of the
universe, cause of motion, and the
machinery of the solar system form
the basis for our calculations, which
are sometimes called astronomical
mathematics.
This storm will MOI be the greatest
of the year. but one of the greatest,
something like that OF February 25
and &c. predicted by us month be-
fore, and which was one of the great
storm periods, reaching well up to the
middle of March.
On April 70 the forces of nature will
be pulling both south and north, and
the storms about that time viii reach
from the lakes TO the gulf. No, COW
eriug all the country, of course, but
most of il.
a heavy storm will move through
the gulf snd another over the lakes,
and not far from the 9th cold wave
will start from the northwest, accom-
panied or followed by killing frosts as
far south as the Ohio river or Indian
Territory.
We make these forecasts. not in the
interests of those who claim to have a
monopoly of know ledge, but for the
benefit of the great farming commu-
nifty.
These storms may not reach western
Kansas, and the causes are so numer-
Gus that We cannot poin; out the ex-
act localities that may be hi; or missed.
We give You their date and nature,
and you must watch your barometers
and Thermometers, also the ind cations
in the atmosphere.
This storm period viii begin - show
itself by April q, and from that on,

THE WINDY HUMPBACK.

If the Sui Hills humpback, more
f,miiiarly known as Kansas City, in
the state of Missouri, ever had any
distinctive reputation, it was for her
preciptous streets, and for her I'M
slightly decleyities, called building
sites. Wherever the wind-woDder is
known her ciay-pitches and unfathom-
able ravines are remembered and re-
marked. 1t hss been estimated by
experts that if all the real and personal
property OF that place was cashed at
the most inflated prices, the amount
thus realized would be insufficient TO
pay for the ieyeling down of her hills
and filling up her hollows enough to
make even a decent town site. Now,
what must be our establishment when
we find in the Kansas City (MissourD
Times, of yesterday, an editorial
trying 10 convince its readers that
after all those hills and hollows are
not only useful but ornamental and in
every way desirable. We read the
article twice over before we could de-
tcrmine whether the writer was en-
gagged on an April fool gag or was an
escaped lunatic. These terrible and
dangerous depths and frowning cliffs
are put DOWN rs pheasant undnia-
tions permitting an individuality of
style among home-builders." For aud
of unfathomablc depths, for yellow
streams of rushing clay and water
mixed, for break-neck sleeps and gem
eral unsightlincss there is not another
town on the continent which csn even
hold a candle 10 the windy hcmpback
that roosts on the tail end of the Sni
Hills, known as Kansas City, in the
state of Missouri.

JUDGE PETERS. SPEECH.

Judge Peters, our congressman,
made solid speech on the pay or sal
airy of postal clerks, which is published
in full in the Congressional Record.
He not only employed rhetoric but
facts and tables of figures sufficient to
convince anyone. Although an at
tempt was made to annoy him by the
opposition with questions he wound
up with general applause throughout
the house. 1t was simply splendid
effort In one place, in drawing par
allel between other officials and the
overworked posta. clerk, from which
we quote paragraph:
In the Indian appropriation bill just
passed, notice a provision for five
Indian inspectors, who receive $4,000
per annum, and have appropriated,
| in addition to this amount, $4,000 for
travelling expenses: Indian inspectors,
who visit the various indian agencies,
not in the interests of the govern
ment, not in the interest of the peo-
pie, but ostensibly in the interest of
poor Lo, the noble red man. the crea-
ton of the Imagination of poets and
philanthropists, but in fact, in the in
terest Of the savage, treacherous, in
dolent, brutal, inhuman, barbarian,
who will not work, who win not be
civilized and who only becomes good
after he ceases to be; Indian inspect
ors. who visit Indian agencies to
look after the wholesomeness of the
beef issued TO these Ishmaelites, renew
their breech-ciouts, aud prime their
repeating rifles with fresh cartridges,
with which to murder defenseless
women and children ON the frontier;
Indian inspectors, TO see that treaties
are observed, treaties that might as
well have been made with the inmates
of lunatic asylum, or the yilest GRIM
inals within penitentiary walls; yet
these men-and condemn the system
and not the men-are paid - 900 per
annum and travelling expenses from
money obtained from the HaJple by
legislative taxation. But tie postal
clerk, who travels in the 1,crest of
the people, in the interest of rue civ
ilization, in the interest of home and
manhood and wOmanhcod, receives at
the most only s1,400 and pays his own
travelling expenses.

the attorney general, and read:

eating houses on the road to keep
body and soul together; but The

OMAHA AND WICHITA.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat Of
yesterday says company has been
organized and charter taken out tc
build road from Omaha to the south
line of the state of Nebraska, through
Beatrice and to the southeast corner
of Jefferson county. This line touches
the state line between Nebraska and
Kansas at the point where the Omaha
Abilene and Wichita survey does. The
Globe-Democrat says it is not known
in what interest the charter is taken
out. The general management. of the
Chicago and Northwestern could,prob
ably fell if 1T would.

a NEW STATE CAPITAL.

The Emporia Republican says that
it has been brought to light that a
party of seventeen gentleman, embrac-
ing among their number several noted
millionaires Of the Buckeye state,
have associated with several well-to-do
citizens of Emporia and incorporated
themselves in company for the pur-
pose of laying out a uew site whereon
may be built the future capitol of the
great state of Kansas. For this pur-
pose they have purchased the old Fort
Harker reservation, consisting of
5000 acres and situated at point as
near the center of this state as one
could stick pin. The location Sc
iected is certainly a very beautiful one.
The 5000 acres have already been staked
cut for city, with broad avenues.
parks. etc. Several railroad plans
have also been mapped out, and if we
are to judge OF the success of the sue
cess of this enterprise by the financial
ability of its projectors, there is but
little doubt that the city Of ''Kanapo-
lis" as il has been named. can and Will
make the greatest attraction in the
state. 1t is reported upon good au-
thority that million or more or dol
lars will be expended at Kanapolis this
season-a sum quite sufficient 10 make
city without the addition of other
influences.
Old Fit. Rarker. is on the Kansas
Pacific road. 100 miles north and lit
tie west of Wichita, and one hundred

much faith in ii as We have in Empo-
ria's railroad boom.
