TOWNS AT ENMITY.
Goodland Invadcs Eustis with Guns
 and Turpcntine.

A dispatch from Topeka, Kansas, says: "De- spatches gave particulars few days ago of the contest between the towns of Eustis and Good land for the county seat of Sherman county. The latter town was seemingly the winner of the election, but tho old officers were in Eustis and refused to certify to tho new election and surrender the records Then the Goodland people armed themselves and forcibly seized the records, holding their rivals at bay with revolyers and turpentine balls, with which they threatened to burn the town of Eustis If resistance were offered. Upon an appeal to him, Gov. Martin appointed Gen. Adam Dixon and Capt. McGrath of the Statd militia to go to the scene of the disturbance and enforce the law. Gen. Dixon has sub mitted report to the Governor, saying that he has been working on the case for a week with little hope of an amicable settlement of the controversy. Both parties are armed and fortified tho towns being only two miles apart, and the feeling between them very bitter and hostile. He says the Eustis faction will be s.'isfied with nothing but criminal proceedings against the Goodlandites for the seizure of tho county records regardless of the consequences of the delay in settlement and the further dis traction of the communities. Trade is at stand still. no crops to market, taxes high, money scarce, very little work for tho ordinary me- chane and laborer, while the land office in Oberlin refuses to give claimants their final land proofs for the reason that the records al the county seat are incomplete and not avail! able"

A RAILROAD WAR.
Western Rates Tumbling-A Long
 Fight in Prospect.

The fight among the Western roads grow dercer each hour, says adespatch and the de- moralization in freight rates IS more wide- spread than was ever known in any similar conflict west of Chicago. Within the last three days there has been a 50 per cent. drop in rates from Chicago to St. Paul, Omaha, and all Mis- souri River points, and, in addition to this big tumble, rates throughout the Southwest, as far south as Memphis, and west to the Rocky Mountains, have been slashed to conform with reductions made to and from Omaha and cor responding points. All local rates in inter mediate territory have been scaled down. On some classes of freight, rates to Missouri River points have been cut 65 per cent. The reduc- tion to Omaha forced revision of rates to Des Moines and contiguous points, The Min nesota and Northwestern has dropped It's first class rate te and from Bcs Moines to 8 cents. In the Southwest the tide of reductions has swept over good deal of territory. Rates from Southern Missouri points to Omaha and Council Bluffs have been scaled down, and wherever rates were based on Missouri River rates a re- duction has been made.
 The Fort Scott road has made 50 per cent. cut in rates from Kansas City to seaboard points via Memphis, meeting the reduction in rates from Kansas City eastbound via the Chicago and St. Louis lines So far the demorallzatlon in rates has not extended north of Omaha, and it is understood an agreement has been made to keep the knife out of Sioux City if possible. It is believed that if rates go to pieces at Sioux City the entire Northwest will speedily become involved, and local rates in northern Iowa, Minnesota and Dakota will strike bottom.
 The managers of the belligerent roads say the war is likely to be long and bitter. In the opinion of many it will last six months. Chair man Midgeiy of the Southern Railroad Asso- citation said yesterday: "A fight of this char acter means good deal. The railroad exten- sions in the West and Northwest have been so widespread that war in rates soon involves every company. Owing to the relative geo. graphical. situation of St. Paul. Omaha m and State Commerce law, this fight will surely smash rates to smithereens and involve the entire Northwest as we'll the West and | Southwest in one of the greatest railroad fights the country has ever known"

FOR GRANTS MONUMENT,
The Committee Offer Five Awards
 for Competition.

The Grant Monument Association has just invited artists, sculptors, and architects to sub mt designs for B monument or n emorial building to be erected over the tomb in Riv- erside park, N. !. City. The total cost of the comp.et, d structure is not definitely fixed but It IS suggested that designs be submitted based upon an estimated expenditure of S5OO.- eo. Should a larger sum Dc contributed the surplus IS to be expended in additional orna- mentahon and decoration, and suggestions en- bodyln such a possibility are asked with each design.
 As to the style of work, it is suggested that the designs should combine architecture and sculpture, and that the material to be used should be granite only or in combination with metal.
 Each set of designs submitted is to be drawn to uniform scale of onc-quarter of an inch to the foot. and to consist of geometric eleya- tlons, plan of each story or division, vertical sections through the centre of the monument and one perspective view.
 Each drawing is to be marked by motto or cipher, and no other handwriting or mark Of any so Is to be put on tbem- A sealed en- velopc, bearing similar cipher or motto, is to contain the name and address of the author of the design, and any information he may choose to give in regard to his training, experience, or professional position and his qualifi cations for carrying out the dt signs.
 All designs must be delivered at the office of the association by November 1. 1888. The association will select from the designs the best five and classify them as first, second. third, fourth. and fifth, and will award pre- mlnm of Sl, 800 to the first S1 GOO to the second SoO to the third, S;5)0 to the fourth. and SoJO to the fifth.
 If the committee do not consider any of the designs suitable they may institute a second competition, which may be limited to the five accepted competitors.
