Topeka Capital: a letter received from
Mr.. Roland ?. Murdoch, one of the Muir
dock brothers, says that in behalf of his
brother, Hon. T. b. Murdoch, while
thanking those who have favored and
contributed to testimonial fund for his
brother, it could not be accepted. The
contributions thus far received will be
returned, while believing that such tes-
timonial would indicate the general
goodwill and esteem for Mr.. Murdoch
which exist among the newspaper men
of Kansas, and will respect the wishes

\ bill has been introduced in the Ken
lucky legislature which provides that
each county in that state shall vote next
November whether or not il will have

not be surprising if many counties in
that state should vote for prohibition.
In fact number of counties i'm that

The evangelists in KansasiiCity are hav-
ing hard time of it. Whether justi-

against one of them by theatrical man

pressions from the sacred desks and
habits out Of the sanctuary, and to cap it
all some vandals, without the fear Of
God or the law, entered the temple where
the meetings were being held Wednes-

If General Grants fame had grown as

The Quarantine Station Issue.

The city is anxious to get new quaran-
tine station. 1t is absolutely necessary that
it should do so soon. The present one is un-
fit for the purpose. There is not sufficient
depth of water for vessels to approach it to
discharge their ballast, and it is therefore,
a hindrance to commerce.
The most available place that has vet
been suggested is on McQueen's Island. The
location, however, that the city wants is
under control of the Tybee Railroad Com
pany. While the Tybee Company has not
refused to permit the station to be located
on McQueens Island, it is reported that
some member of the company suggested
that the company might object to its loca-
ton there.
The statement is also made that location
for the station on Tybee Island has been of
fered to the city. Whether that location is
as desirable as the one on McQuean's Island
is question that can be answered only after
the two locations have been carefully exam
ined and their respective advantages con-
sidered.
The Tybee Company will make q grave
mistake if it permits the station to be lccat-
ed on Tybee Island while it has it in its
power to have it located on McQueens
Island. There might be no danger what
ever to people on Tybee from the station.
but if a ship with a case of infectious or con
tagious disease were to be reported there
travel to the seashore would be checked.

Island. 1t will be out of everybody's way
there, and should a fever ship be anchored
off that place there would be no apprehen-
sion of danger from it.
