Since my lsst letter our township,
the Northwest Of Wichita 5uhty,
has organized q school district hav-
ing a school population Of above %
pupils. Last March did not know
OF child Of school age in the terri
tory composing said district. The
county is nnw All organized into
>vhoOl districts aud so far as ! know
they propose holding At least three
months school during school year in
each new district.
Leoti il the county seat. LeOti's
public schools sre ia prosperous
condition under an able principal
aud two assistants. the number Of
pupils enrolled Ia city schools is 1875.
Church and Sabbath school organ
izatiOns art being carried forward
not only in the county seat, but In
various parts Of the county. Some
time in the future, II you think Il
might be Of interest TO your readers,
We will give voting strength, tax
able property, etc. Of the county;
provided always" that "these
presents don't create so much aim
ed opposition to woody west, Capitol
removal, Blaine and everything else,
as did our last. We enjoy doing up
un some few points, il kinder"
makes others loom up "you know"
the phrase Is OF ST. John origin
A whipped cock will crow, II per-
chance he is not done up too bad.
But when body politics has been re-
solved To as ultimate elements. and
anuihilated, that does settle il. In
defense Of wOJiy west We have moth
ing to say. Your Bavaria CORES
pon eut evidently thinks the inhab-
itauta thereof wear n tail and clO ven
foot, aud Lueir business Is roaring,
% n certsin extent. That may be,
~ any event they have a way vi
busyiug chronic kicksrs. They
busy ZEN" 40 they don't grow.
AstO the Capitol moving scheme.
as il il called, we all know that
Topeka for more than 20 years ha~
been trying 10 anchor the capitol al
that place bY lavish expenditure Oi
state money. When ever anything
j. said concerning the removal OF
the capitol 10 more central lota-
ton, Topeka and her minlOns raise
the cry of ecuROmy. Consistency,
thy name is TOpeka. Any one, who
has noted the development OF Kan
sas for the last ten years, has he not
a right to suppose the capitol will be
removed in the next ten years?
Now all the West want. at present,
is to stop the further expenditure OF
state m oney al Topeka. Then when
il IL moved, Salina, Minneapolis UT
Mcpherson will do u. We AcknOwi-
edg our mistake however, in not in
Guiding your correspondent city H.
the list. How grand to contemplate.

Human language is too Weak, NOR

power, grandeur and glory tbai

its age and small features Mean
while your Bavaria correspondent
must not become detected. Should
his city fail in securing the National

A city so graudly situated on the
banks Of the classic Spring Greek
river, whose waters abound in msg-
uifieent minnOes; q city having
| four grand trunk railroads two run
ming eastward aud two running
westward terminating in one main
line called the Union Pacific. HHv-
ing a water system Of natures own
construction, which the art OF man
has not meddled or attempted to
improve. Her system Of lighting l.
the Solar which radiates In day
time through windows, many OF
which are innocent Of glass. Her
street ears are simple In cOnstruc-
tiOn, yet the business Of that Metro
pOlitan city is very successfully ac-
eOmplished by the same. The car is

As to James G.. Blaine. his chances
are all right In Western Kansas, and
