The storm that swept over the north
ern part of Pratt and eastern portions of
Stafford and Rice counties Tuesday
seems to haves been the most disastrous
of any that has visited the state for
several years. The brief details given
in yesterdays dispatches, of the disasters
attending the storm were sufficient to
give an idea of its severity and destruc-
tiveness, but it is feared that fuller ac-
counts will show its ravages even more
severe than already indicated. The
strong prevailing winds of the three or
four days preceding gave unerring pre-
monition of the coming storm, but of
course it could not be anticipated Just
where it would eliminate and could
hardly have been provided against if it
had been known, except perhaps Eas to
personal safety.

Jacob Seotler, of the state board OF

The Indians need claim no injustice at
the hands of the government, in the
opening up for settlement the 100000
acres now being offered for that pur-
pose In lieu Of these lands, thy are al
lowed $1.25 per acre in government
bonds, which give them a revenue of
1925, 900 yearly. The same lands had
been heretofore rented to cattlemen for
$3.50 900 per annum, hence the red man
makes net difference of $4,000 per
year. There ore 90, 900 Indians to divide
this amount of money among, and they
have still plenty of land left.

Solomon's Soliloquy.


We wonder if country ever existed
where the idea was so prevalent as it is
in Kansas, that no man can express an
opinion without having an interested
and selfish object in view. 1t pervades
the entire newspaper fraternity. The
moment newspaper, instead of slobber-
ing and fawning, expresses healthy,
independent opinion, the cry goes up,

something and is sour because he didn't

upholstered and very good natured. His
voice sounds like a bugle blast, and

gress will rival the First districts Mr..

STATE PRINTING.
Atchison Champion.

AtChlSon Champion.
The Fort Scott Monitor calls attention
to the fact-apparently not generally
understood-that the state senate ap-
pointed committee to investigate, and
report at the next session of the legis-
lature, concerning the present method
of doing the state printing. This COM
mittee is composed of Senators Hark-
ness. Kimball. Kelley, of Crawford,
Murdoch and Moody. The Monitor saws
that the extravaganza of the present
method consists in the quality and guam
tity of the work done-and we have no
doubt IL is correct. The writer called
the attention of the legislature TO this
subject, in 1887. but no action was
taken. We have no hesitancy in assert
ing that fully one-third of the printing
done Tor the state Is useless or unneces-
sary. We do not believe the prices
hxed by law, as a rule, excessive. But
nearly all the books and public docu-
ments printed could be reduced one
third or one-half. in their matter. and
the printing for the legislature could be
reduced, II quantity, fully one-half.

JUDGE S. r. PETERS
From the Newton Republican.

From the Newton Republican.
Hon. S. r. Peters, representative In
congress from this district, left yester-
day morning for Washington, d. c.,
after weeks stay in this city. He ar
rived here with Mrs. Peters last Monday
and took rooms at the Clark house. He
came home to transact private business
matters and to obtain short breath
ing spell" The gentleman has been
worked almost to death since election
and he hoped to find little rest at his
old home. Having the largest district
of any congressman, he has more cor
respondence than most of the members
and his desire to do Justice to his con-
stituents makes him one of the hardest
workers in that great legislative body.
Mr.. Peters prominence, his close rela-
tons with the administration, make him
one whose influence is TO be sought, and
large number of Republican gentlemen
very naturally lay their claims before
him. Mrs. Peters will remain in this
city and her many friends will be pleased
to have her amongst them once more.
The congressman expects to return in
