''There is too much talk and too little
action in Kansas City" says the Topeka
Capital, lover the restoration of Missouri
river traffic. If the object is really to be
pushed, why not let the money talk
awhile?' The Kansas City Star under
takes to explain the situation by stating
that 1.-The grand possibilities of the enter
prise must be intelligently presented to
the people and its advantages must be
fully apprehended. Then the means
will be forthcoming for the accomplish
ment of the work." which is but another
way of saying that it is hoped they will
be able to get the matter in shape to
present to congress with the expectation
of procuring liberal appropriation. for
there is where the money is to come
from. The money that Kansas City or
its citizens puts up to improve the navi-
cation of the Missouri river won't pay
for pulling a snag out of the mouth Of
one of its yawpers, although the naviga-
ton Of the Missouri river is admitted to
be largely if not wholly to the advantage
of that town.

WICHITA VISITORS.
From the Hutchinson News.

From the Hutchinson News.
Messrs. Piatt, Lawrence, Howe, Camp
bell, Howard, Martin and Fegtley, who
visited Hutchinson yesterday as com
mittee from the Wichita board of educa
ton to inspect our new school buildings,
were the guests of Mr.. j. S. Otis, the Kan
sas City agent of Isaac Smead & Co. and
after performing the dutieswhlch brought
them here and dining with the Hutchin-
son school board at the Midland, they
were shown about the city in company
with several of our representative citl'
zens. They first went to the Underwood
packing house, where they witnessed
the various processes by which dead hogs
become good bacon. except the killing.
They were cutting up the meat which
had been slaughtered last week. They
then went through the lard refinery and
lard oil manufactury of n. K. Fairbank
& Co., the only institution of the sort in
state, and were very much interested in
the various processes exhibited. The
works of the Hutchinson Salt Manufac-
turing company next claimed attention.
This was another and greater revelation
to our enterprising neighbors, who look
ed in wonder upon the various parts Of
the immense institution, where LOCO
barrels daily of the finest salt III the land
are evaporated.
The grinding and boiling machinery,
by which the finest article of table salt
known in the wide world is made, was
not In operation, but it was nevertheless
examined with great interest.
a short drive then brought them to
the great reformatory buildings, where
they found work actively progressing on
several of the large buildings of the
great institution which the poles of all
our rivals reached for, but couldn't get.
The large cell building, wherein two
tiers of cells have been completed, was
examined with special interest.
The next stop was at the News office,
where they spent. what they all agreed
was very pleasant hour in the editorial
sanctum. After look through our
mammoth water works and electric light
plant. they strolled about town in groups
till time to take the 5:25 train to return
home. Many most tlattering and COM
plimentary remarks were made by our
visitors regarding the town. which our
modesty will not allow us to repeat.
Suffice to say that if they were not all SO
much in love with their own progressive
town. they might be expected to move
here to live.

ONE OLD SOLDIERS PRAISE OF
ANOTHER.

Captain Lon Holding, editor of the
Arrow, pays the following sincere trib-
ute to the crippled and battered Captain
Dan Murphy, the Republican nominee
for register of deeds:
All who are old enough will remember
the rolling of the drums and the scream
ing of the flies in the dark days of 1861.
They will remember the waving banners,
the exciting speeches and the alacrity
with which middle aged and young
men enrolled themselves and fell in line
to march away to the scene of conflict.
1t required patriotism to do this; but
there was belt across this land from
the Potomac to the Rio Grande which
embraced divided sentiment, where the
man who took stand for the govern
ment imperiled his life at his own
threshold, and in saying, 81 am for the
Union" he was liable to sacrifice not
only his life. but his home and all the
heart holds dear. The devotion of the
gallant men who stood up for the old
flag where disloyalty Missed its threats
in their ears and the bonfres of
treason blazed along the borders
has never been fully written
nor fully appreciated. Our north
ern homes were darkened and saddened
when they gave up their idols to go
forth to battle for the sacred cause: but
think of the desolate homes of those who
took firm stand, and, in MANY in
stances, had to flee northward to find a
place in the union ranks, knowing that
their cherished homes would be trod
alternately and ruined by retrea.ing and
j lA oh ,,.I &c
war! Father of Pity! 1t was worse
than war,
Under such trying circumstances, in
Garrard county. KY, Daniel Murphy
(the Republican candidate for register
of deeds enlisted as private soldier in
the First Kentucky cavalry in 1861, and
daring Frank Wolford led that command
through the sulphurous tumult of strife
for four long years. Daniel Murphy was
in the saddle whenever the bugie called
for action. except when Frustrated by
wounds. He received his first wound at
the siege of Knoxville, where ball shat
tered the bone of his right leg. When
able to stride his war horse again
he joined his company, and in the
SLOVENIAN raid in Georgia, while
leading his company in a fierce
battle, he fell with ball through his
body near the hip. which paralyzed his
left leg. He fell into the hands of the
enemy and was prisoner nine months
in Andersonville and Macon. He was
twice promoted, and commanded his
company the last year of the war. Re-
turning to his home after the terrible
strife he became a Republican leader in
civil affairs and was twice elected to the
Kentucky legislature, and rendered val
liable service as an advocate of the Thir-
teenth amendment. He was married in
Kentucky, but now mourns the loss OF
wife and a child. He removed to this
county in 1884. He is well known and
highly esteemed for his manly qualities.
although he can not mingle freely
among his fellow men by reason of his
manned limbs and the pain produced by
crutch and cane locomotion-pain that
has placed its marks in the lines of his
earnest. honest face. He is..well educat-
ed, and if elected, will render the people
of this county good and efficient service
as register of deeds.

ALREADY GOT A GOOD PLACE


The Mizzoury district in this county
contains several usufruct kickers who.
between drinks. yell: "R-ugh-ing.
Ring. County Ring" while beer foam
trickles from their moustaches and falls
into space. Their spleen is turned par
ticularly against Theodore Brown. who
has been too manly TO sugar" them and
who is not financially able TO give them
money, were he so disposed They cry
that he has held the Office of deputy
sheriff under Hays. and therefore he
should be retired and Rufus Cone elected,
Now Rufus is our personal friend, yet as
a matter of fact he has held. and still
holds, an office that pays him more than
Thode's salary amounts 70. and if Rufe
is defeated ne will still hold his good
paying position, while il Thode fails to
got there" he viii have to buckle on
the armor of toll that he so honestly
wore prior TO his deputyship. Verify
there are two sides to every question,
and this cry of county ring and Office
holding is a double-edged, back-action
barlow knife.

For SedgwIck county and the six coun-
ties adjoining her the assessors returns
for this year, 1889, show 253,010 hogs
over six months old, May last, or over a
quarter of a million of hogs. Live stock
men in estimating the true or total num-
Der, including pigs under six months,
stockings and failed of return, multiply
by five if for Missouri, and three if for
Kansas. This would give 759, 030, or up
wards of three quarters of a million of
hogs within from one to two hours by
freight from Wichita stock yards.
