A GENERAL REVIEW.
Present Accomplishments
And Prospects for the
Coming Year.
A Bright Outlook for us.

1t is often a good thing for towns as
we'll as individuals to stop and take an
inventory-to sum up how much they
have and find out what they lack.
Dodge City can do this very satisfact-
roily at all times, and with great COM
plaicency just now. II is something
very remarkable to note The universal
opinion which prevails ong all class
es of the prosperity in e for US the
coming season. Tlongh many of
our farmers were quite discouraged
when winter set in, and few of the
faint hearted ones turned their faces
eastward and went back to the old
home, the grand majority which stayed
have found things turning out so much
better than they anticipated that they
are happy and contented. The win
ter has been mild and open, with scarce
ly week when the farmers could no

BUILDING
COmmOdiOnS and COnven-
lent Quarters for our
City Officials.

Among the handsomest monuments
to the enterprise and public spirit Of
Dodge City, will be ranked the new
City Hall, which attracts the eye of
everyone who passes through our town.
Built in the large open space adjoining
the tracks of the Santa Fe railroad, its
location is one which demands the at
tention of every stranger who visits
our city; while its extensive proper
tions and elegant appearance challenge
admiration, and leave an impression
not easily effaced. The accompanying
cut presents good idea of the build
ing. though in many minor features,
particularly the stone work and orna-
mental iron work the completed struc-
ture will be much more handsome than
the cut, which was made from the
drawings. The original plans and draw
ings were made for building to cost
$15, 900
The building occupies an entire block,

ing home while lands ara cheap.
In this city prospects are no less en-
couraging, and the feeling that Dodge
City is just approaching the dawnihg
of brighter days even than it has YET
seen, is very universal. The large
amount which will be expended in pub
lie and private improvements this
season insures remunerative employ
ment for al! classes Of labor; and the
unusual amount of railroad building
will give employment to vast number
of unskllled laborers, and turn an i'm
mense amount Of money into the hands
of our merchants and business me n.
The feeling is very general that the
prospect was never brighter than
now.
A street railroad line from the Rock
Island depot to the College is an un-
dertaking which will be completed this
summer without doubt and in addition
to the money directly expended in build
inc it. Will no doubt lead to the build
ing of large number of residences a.
long the line, particularly in Lakeview
addition. Work BY the Natural Gas
and Development company was COM
menced this week with very fattering
prospects of striking salt in paying
quantities, if not coal and natural gas.

The result is an universally large acre
age has been prepared for seed, and ii
is ready much earlier than common
and in consequence our farmers all
over the country are jubilant. The
ground is in the finest possible condi-
ton, and so far as present indications
are any guide, Southwestern Kansas
will produce more abundant crop
than has ever been harvested within
her borders, Many of those who had
not the grit to stay through the winter,
are now comming back to their claims
and tnrning to work with will.
The wheat crop could not look better
than it does now, and its condition
iustifes the advice given last fall
to put in large crop. The small
amount of rye sown looks equally well,
and by harvest time our farmers VIII
generally have reached the conclusion
that a few acres of wheat and rye
should be regular crop with them.
Fruit trees have come through the
winter in splendid condition, and the
swelling buds give promise of an abun-
dant crop.
The condition of crops, and the hope
full feeling among farmers will certain

it is merely an observation. Read
the history of that party, and note
the character of its personnel Its
strength lies in its homes, the school
houses and the churches of the land.
The saloon is the enemy of all three.
The party s purpose is the elevation
and happiness of it's citizens. The
saloon is in politics, and is in to
stay until destroyed. That can be
seen with the eyes and heard with
the ears. 1t needs no proof; it con-
fronts the republican party just now,
somewhat weekend by the detection
Of free traders, mugwumps and mis-
guided third party temperance men,

anything in the history of the repub-
lican party to warrant a doubt as to

which was sold to the city on account
of the purpose for which it was to bt
used, at the nominal sum of $4,000,
though it was worth many times as
much. The cost Of the building will
be $25, 600, and it will be one of the
handsomest structures of the kind in
the state.
The foundation and basement are of
native stone, and all other stone work,
Of the famous cottonwood stone. The
brick work will be of pressed brick,
washed down and pointed with red
mortar.
The main entrance faces the east,
and is of massive cut stone, opening up
on vestibule 9x1O foored with en-
caustic tiling. Upon one side of the hall
is the police magistrates Office, like;
and on the opposite side, the city en-
gineers Office 14x2O, with fire proof
vault In the center of the building,
with immense doors opening on the
north and south sides, is room 24x47
for the Hook and Ladder and Hose
companies; with fifty foot tower for
drying hose. The west end Of the
building will be devoted to the police
department, with marshals Office
1920, and Jail 17x2O.
In the second story will be coun-
ell chamber 25x47; city clerk Office
16x2O, with fre-proof vault; mayors
Office 11x16; two rooms for the Fire
Department; one 14x2O; the other
1Sx2O.
In the basement will be two large
storage rooms, which in time can be
turned into additional cells if needed;
also large boiler and furnace room.
The contract for the work is in the
hands of Sweeney & Foley, men Of we'll
known ability, who are pushing it to
completion as rapidly as possible. The
mason work is in the hands of John
johnson, who is employing as large a
force of men as can be worked to ad-
vantage. The contract for the roof and
the ornamental iron work, has been let
to j. A. Ritzler, of Kansas City.
1t is the present intention to have the
bnilding completed by July first, and at
the rate work is now progressing, there
is every reason to expect that this will
be accomplished.

The Dodge City TINES is urging the
organization of new state out of No
Man Land and Western Kansas. This
strikes US as much more practical
scheme for this portion of the state than
capital removal. Even should the cap
ital be removed it would not come far
enough west to benefit Us, and the state
institutions being now al built, We pre-
fer to be taxed for new capital here in

the west than one $50 miles east Of us.
The state institutions can be added in
different portions of the state as needed.
Again, IN view of the fact that nine
teen western counties Of Kansas are
without representation, with no show
of relief for five years to come, in that
time we can have new state and rep
resentation of our own.
We received several marked copies of
papers publishedin Central Kansas fav-
oring capital removal, to all Of which
we reply ''that capital removal is all
right but first give US representation.
To our reply they get back of Gov. Mar
tin and point to his letter declining to
call an extra session of the legislature
that could afford US relief. Now then
keep your old capital we'll take one Of
our own.-Colocan Graphic.

A Locomotive Constructed ON tho PrIn-
ciplc OF Bicycle. which win Travel,
II Is Expected, 200 Miles an Hour.

PORTLAND, Me, Nov GA bicycle To-
connective" is IA process of construction here.
The Portland company has had men actively
at work on this novel invention for some
three we Ks now, and although it is fast
nearing completion, considerable yet remains
TO be done upon it. Its boiler is shaped
about the same as the common locomotive
boiler, not differing much in length, but
rather smaller in diameter than that of rail-
road locomotive. Its fire box is deeper, and
the cab will be two stories high, the fireman
occupying the lower and the engineer the
upper story. 1t has two cylinders OF the
same shape, but little smaller than the or
binary locomotive cylinder, located quite
close together under the part of the boiler
farthest from the cab Then under the
middle Of the boiler is one giant, steel
tired driving wheel. 1t is eight feet in di-
ameter, and was cast at the Portland COM
pany's foundry last summer The tire is
deeply grooved, and on either side of the
great driving wheel is a crank, to take the
place Of the treadles of common bicycle.
The pistons of the cylinders are attached by
means of driving rod to these cranks, and
by the power of steam the novel railroad BIZ

The inventor is +. Moody Boynton, and he
Is very enthusiastic over it, and seems to have
plenty Of money with which to carry out his
ideas The cars will also bs made to run on
the rail and viii be two stories high, to cor
respond with the cab of the bicycle locomo-
tive, which will be some sixteen feet high.
To prevent the whole thing from topping
over the track will be built with rail above
as well as under the tram. The upper rail
will be supported by strong iron columns
planted on either side of the lower rail at
sufficient distance apart to allow the train
space TO pass between them. Grooved wheels
of a small size as compared with the driving
wheel will be fixed to the top of the cars and
locomotives to run on the upper rail. 1t is
claimed that by this arrangement the friction
will be much less and, therefore, the train
can be propelled faster and with less power;
the expense of constructing the roadbed will
be much less than the cost of the roadbed
of the railroads of the existing system, a
very narrow roadbed being all that is re-
quired. In this age OF hurry and restleSsness
nothing moves too quickly, and who can say
that the next generation will not go whizzing
over steel roads at the rate of 200 miles an
hour, passing from ocean to ocean say in q

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-The technical arrest by
service of summons of Mr.. David Sheehy
within the precincts of the house of commons
acted as q sort of boomerang to Mr.. Balfour
who. although he made haste to disclaim re
sponsibility for and TO deprecate the act, Il
nevertheless morally responsible for the viola
tion of the sauctity of the person OF mem
Der within the jurisdiction of parliament.
Although it is perfectly well understood by
everybody, as well as by Mr. Sheehy himself,
that the service of the summons was inevita
bic, the manner and place Of its service has
aroused feelings of indignation in the breasts
of most of the Tory members as well a.
among their political adversaries. Every
member, of whatever party or faction, enter
tains most sacred regard for the laws and
traditions of the houss which prevent the
exercise within parliamentary precincts OF
any other authority than that OF the body
itself, and it is more than likely that the CON
stable who served the writ will be severely
censurcd, if he does not lose his place, for hi
temerity.

An Officers Record OF Outrages-The Ma
tionaIists Gain - Point.
LONDON, Nov. 2S.-At the sitting of the
Parnell commission Sergt Gilhooly, of
County Kerry, testified concerning outrages.
He said that an increase of police had been
necessary at Castle Island.
Witness said that since 1880 the police
force had been doubled. Prior to the found
ing Of the league, in 1850, the district had
been quiet. Afterwards, however, outrages
had been general. On .cross-examination
witness said he had kept a book for recording
ontrages.
Sir Charles Russell demanded that the
book be produced
Sir Henry James, of The Times counsel,
said the book contained letters and official
communications respecting certain persons,
and it was desirable that they should not be
published.
Sir Charles Russell asked: "Why should
The Times counsel have access to the book,
and we be denied the same privileged Until
the judges rule otherwise, shall continue to
call for this and every other book referred to
in the casen
Justice Hammer said it was highly desir-
able that the whole book, including column
headed ssMotives,n should be produced
Special entries relating to certain persons
ought not, perhaps to be disclosed. he sug-
gested that Sir Henry James and Sir Charles
Russell inspect the book, and then If they did
not agree the judges themselves would in
spect it.
Mr.. Reid suggested that in order to save
time witnesses should simply state the num-
Der of outrages they were cognizant of and
the periods in which they were committed.
Justice Hammer welcomed the suggestion,
and Sir Henry James promised to comply
with it as far as possible.
