From Senator Plumb

Mr.. j. H. Wright, janitor of the Col
lege of EmpOria, has received the fol-
lowing letter from Senator Plumb, of
date April Is:
DEAR SIR am duly in receipt of
your favor of the 14th, and enclose
herein my check for twenty-five dol
lars, payable to the treasurer of the
EmpOria College, to be used in tree
planting and maintenance which you
suggest. l observed last year with
very great pleasure the success which
attended the planting of trees in front
of the College. 1t was quite remarka-
BILE, and had occasion then to say
that if other persons would do as well
as had been done there, there need
be no trouble about trees dying or hav-
ing stunted growth in Kansas.
Truly yours,

OK Thursday last the board of alder
men of New York city passed over the
mayors veto the ordinance curtailing
that officials power to prohibit the
hoisting of other flags that the Amer
lean on the city hall. The action of
the council is the result of Hewltt's
refusal to permit the flag of Ireland to
wave alongside the stars and stripes on
st. Patrick's day. This action by the
aldermen may possibly have a bearing
on future elections in that city, and
it is possible that the board of alder
men may not last long who, by their
action, would lead one to believe they
revere the Irish flag more than the

SENATOR PLUME lay in the middle
of Pennsylvania avenue yesterday
morning, with small crowd of curious
spectators around him. He was in a
most undigniied position for senator
but was in no way to blame. Senator
Plumb is fond of horseback riding, and
was engaged in his favorite sport.
While riding down Pennsylvania ave-
nue. his horse fell and tumbled the SEN
ator to the ground. He chung to the
bride and, remounting hurriedly, with
out stopping to brush off the dust, rode
swiftly away. Some Of his senatorial
friends are thinking, however, of in
ducing him to take riding lessons

TIE Abilene Gazette is angry be-
cause the Associated Press did not
give lengthy reports of the so-called

thing was simply an advertising scheme
to boom Abilene and the Gazette, and
that, therefore, it did not come under
the head Of legitimate news, and Mr..

a number of investors and real es-
tate spectators have recently ap-
peared in this city in quiet way, with
a view of taking advantage of the ex-
| tremely low prices at which real estate
has been held in this place and vicinity
for nearly a year past. Among
| other transactions closed up was
a sale made by s. NJ. Bell, man
ager of the South American Land,
Loan, Cattle and Mining Company of
| twelve lots on East street and one hum
dred choice lots belonging to Harry p.
| Clark to A. j. Quinlan, a wholesale
grocer and liquor dealer in st. Louis,
which lots are situated in an addition
| plated April 18th, in Clark's sub-diVis-
ion of the southwest quarter of section
fourteen, township nineteen, range
eleven. These lots are situated on
Park, Central and GrandView ave-
nues and on Halleck street. Choice
business properties and suburban
| tracts seem to be most desirable, and
several deals in such pieces are pend
ing with every prospect of satisfac-
cerned. The general offices of the
South American Land, Loan, Cattle
and Mining Company are at present in
Masonic Temple on West Fifth Az
enue with branch offices at St. Louis,
Memphis, Kansas City, Chicago, New
I DIRK, Santa Fe, N. M, Vera Cruz,
| Buenos Ayers, Rio Janeiro, Lima,
1 Peru and Panama. The company
! has sold and exchanged other
I real estate in this city and
in Lyon, Chase, Greenwood, Coffey and
Butler counties, consisting of farms,
ranches and unimproved lands. Also
other lands in different sections of
Kansas and Missouri. From this it
will be seen that the company covers a
large portion of the country
in its agencies and operations and the
success attending its efforts indicate
something of the magnitude of the
business it will do in the suspicious
| future.
The above article is from Sunday
mornings Republican, and on inquiry
we find that our friend Bell, who is I'M
dOubtedly rustler from baskerville,
has been doing even more in a quiet

A CHARLESTON newspaper recently
asked eight ministers. of various de-
nominations what they thought would
be the fate of the heather after death.

copalian, a Unitarian, Catholic, and
Jew, thought that those who were in
vincibly ignorant of the truths re,
vealed by Christ, and who faithfully
observed the Divine natural law.
aided by the light of reason and the
grace of God, might be saved. A
Scotch Presbyterian thought that all,
heather and Christian, who died with
out conversion, would be damned. A
Presbyterian thought that the
heathens would &c judged by their
own conscience; but doubted their
salvation unless they were converted.
A Baptist thought there was no sal
walton out of Christ, and that God
had done enough to leave the heather
without eXcuse.-EX.
