The sheriff now has in his hands
numerous erroneous dOg-tax war
rants, returnable in March. Parties
not owning dogs have been taxed
and, Of course, will resist payment.
This neeessitstes a suit, and a suit
makes expense. This expense will
fall on the city, as the city alone de-
rlves the benefit Of the dog-tax. To
remedy this matter the city council
should proceed at once at q special
meeting aud make some provision
for recalling these erroneous tax
warrants. Great expense perhaps
$40 OF fl2 in each case can be saved
by quick work.

by himself, his wife and Mrs. P. @.

was at first anticipated. Mrs. Al
drieh received some internal inju-

serious, that have kept her indoors
under the watehfuI attendance Of
her mother and caused her consider,

Cost OF starting a DAILY Newspaper.

Few persons who have not tried It
have any idea Of the cost OF starting
and establishing a live daily news
paper. The western cities know how
to do it. The Kansas City Star
says:

contemplating the starting OF new
morning daily newspaper, with press
| dispatches, etc. It Is proposed by
some OF the citizens Of that place To
invest about $4,000 In plant Ia

very much more than start u, either.

Farming upon Upland

The Gypsum City Echo thus refers
to an experience in farming upon
upland in Kansas, which Mr. Frank
WilkesOn attacked in his famous
letter. As it is an experience" as
this kind of farming in the very
neighbOrhOOd OF Mr.. WilkesOn's
Gypsum creek farm, it is a power
full refutation Of that writer's argu-
ment:
Mr.. WilkesOn's land Is bottom or
corn land as he denOminates IL, and
what he says of IL Is mainly true. but
what he said Of upland We will con-
trOvert with q few facts. In 1872
Levi Berger living about three miles
from the WilkesOn estate, and on
some of the highest land between the
Gypsum and Middle Gypsum, had
hfIy-five bushels Of wheat per acre.
Now this can he verified and every
farmer on all the u .,land adjs-
cent To the Gypsum had q yield Of
from fifteen to forty bushels per
acre. And so il was in 'S3 and is4.
On this same upland since 1874, there
has been but two entire failures Of
corn Including last year, and three
partial failures. In q majority Of
the years In thar period, the yield OF
corn made an average Of forty BUSH
ELS per acre. In 1872, 'S3, and "a, the
yield Of oats on this same highland
vas as high as sixty bushels per
sere. So much then for the upland
)f this portion Of Kansas.

CONGRESSIONAL WORK
THE PROGRAM IN THE TWO HOUSES FOR
THE COMING WEEK.
The Blair Chestnut SGll Hangs on-Fo Give Way
Speeches BY Various Ssnators-Def-
cheney Bill IN the HOuss-Mr
FOran's Measure.

WASHINGTON, D. C. February 5.-The
Education bill begins its fifth week of
consideration in the Senate tomorrow,
and Mr.. Case has the floor for speech
upon it. 1t is likely to be set aside tenn
porarily, as it has been heretofore, with
the assent of Mr.. Blair, for a variety of
purposes.
Senator Platt has given notice of his
purpose to speak tomorrow upon the
tariff and the Presidents message, though
he may be delayed by the Salisbury reso.
luton until Tuesday, and Senator Teller,
ii good opportunity occurs, will address
ths Senate on the same subject later in the
week. Senator Beck is booked for a
reply at an early day to Senator
Browns speech upon the internal revenue.
Senator Davis expects to call up for action
during the week, the Dependent Pension
bill. Senator Allison is expected to make
a report upon the Under Valuation bill
Tuesday or Wednesday, but will probably
ask that the measure be reeommitted for
amendment before it is brought forward
for consideration and action.
The Urgent Deficiency Appropriation
bill will probably be pressed to the point
of passage in TIE House early in the week (;
aud if Mr.. FOran, who is now III, shall
have sufficiently recovered, he will ask
the House to take up and pass the Pension
Appropriation bill, which is in his charge.
