LEFT HOME.

My son, Judson 7. Williams, left home
about March IL, and has not been heard
of since. He is 16 years old, large to his
age, dark hair and black eyes, moder-
ately fair, full round face, by close OBJ
servation little lameness can be detect
ed in one ankle, very little or no beard.
When he left home was riding an iron
gray mare pony, would weigh perhaps
eight hundred pounds, and white face
and snip on the nose. An old fiat leather
saddle and common smooth bride.
The boy wore off white SLOUGH hat
with his name printed on inside of the
brim with au indelible pencil, wore
light colored coat and vest and blue
overalis. He had another pair of pants
with him, an overcoat and a seersucker
vest. His clothes were wrapped in his
overcoat and tied to his saddle with
lariet rope when last seen. His brother,
William Albert Williams, was killed last
week near Anness by horse, and his
mother is now about crazy.
Any information in regard to him will
be thankfully received by his mother.

TIE WAY THE MONEY GOES.

Washington City is never without
some plausible scheme to blk the ma
tional treasury out Of big appropria-
ton. The present demand upon con-
gress is for sum sufficient to maintain
the position and dignity OF the nation at
the international exposition to be held
in that city in 1892 The Post publishes
in support of this position and demand
an official estimate made to the depart
ment of state by one of our consuls
abroad to the effect that ''there is an
nually taken by Americans to Europe,
for the purpose of travel, pleasure, art
and education, more than one hundred
million dollars"
The Post claims that the effect of an
exposition at our national capital will be
to keep American tourists and money at
home and attract thousands of visitors
from the Old World, bringing with them
large amount of capital for purposes of
travel, pleasure and investment. 1t may
be safely predicted that the appropria-
ton will be forthcoming, for if all other
arguments should fail TO secure it they
have the infallible plea of precedent and
will cite Philadelphia, New Orleans and
other shows of less Importance This
brings TO mind the remark of Col. Fred
Grant on a certain occasion that treas
ury surplus is much easier to handle
than deficit.

Some Puzzles.

A curious puzzle, which will work out
right, is the following:
"Open book at random and select a
word within the first ten lines, and with
in the tenth word from the end of the
line Mark the word. Now double the
number of the page, and multiply the
sum by five. Then add twenty. Then
add the number of the line you have
selected. Then add five. Multiply the
sum by tel. Add the number of the
word in the line. From this sum sub
stract $50, and the remainder will indi-
cate in the unit column the number of
the word, in the ten column, the num-
Der of the line, and the remaining fig
ures the number of the page"
Can anybody explain why this result
is obtained?
And here is a puzzle for any one
skilled in such matters:

The EAGLE would respectfully cali the
attention of the government at Wash
ington which have TO do with the affairs
of the Indian territory, especial that
portion of it lying west of the 96th prin-
cipal meridian, that Wichita is and has
been for months recognized by common
consent as the headquarters therefor by
reason of its contignitv and ready ac
feasibility thereto, and that for these
reasons, and others that might be men,
toned, this city might and should be
made the place of rendezvous for ex-
petitions, commissions and the like on
the part of the government instead of
far off Chicago or st. Louis or Kansas
City. Common fairness as well as the
interests of the public service support
the suggestion.

The Leavenworth Times, in comment
ing favorably on the decision of the state
board of railway commissioners, says
that If the board Will now give the same
rates TO AtchiSon, Leavenworth, ETC., all
of which is most amusing. The fact is,
and we have stated it dozen times.
Wlchlta's complaint was against dis
elimination and her prayer was for ex-
actly the rate obtaining at the towns
named by the Times. The Times don't
seem to understand Wichita won all her
present trade In spite of discrimination
of 10 1-2 per cent. on all wholesale anu
live stock traffic and that she has now
the same rate on those things that Leav-
enworth has had for years.

DOWN WITH THE HousEsREAKER,
From the Atchison Champion.

From the AtChison Champion
Speaking of the Topeka lynching, the
Wichita EAGLE says that probably a
hundred homes in that city have beeu
entered by burglars during the past year
we think it is within bounds to say that
fifty homes in Atchison have. drring the
same period, been invaded by thieves.
In one Kansas paper we picked up, yes
teriav, we read of burglaries in three
different towns, and the same reports
come from all over the state. Il was
about time for such an outburst of pop
ular rage as that at Topeka, and. so
far as we are concerned, we shall shed
no tears, express no regrets, nor think
the state has been disgraced, If half
q dozen other midnight thieves are
lynched. IN half a dozen other Kansas
towns.

tionably been greatly intensified by their
attempts to drown their griefs in the
flowing bowl. Reason and experience
have long since exploded the fallacy of
such effort

Though many will regret, few will be
surprised by the decision of the Kansas
railway commissioners in the Wichita
case The idea of expecting Kansas com
mission to decide against a Kansas city
was preposterous.-Kansa City News.
No more preposterous-even if your
imputation were correct-than that Kan
sas cities should have been these many
years, made tributary to Missouri towns
and continued SO for all time through
the outrageous determinations against
the former and in favor of the latter.
Your regret is not in the least surprising;
neither is your surprise at the act of the
board in the case of Wichita regretted by
those who desire to see fair play, where
soever. THE idea of expecting Kansas
commission to decide against Kansas
city, where the right and common
justice were ignored against said city as
in the Wichita cass, was and is indeed
preposterous. The Kansas railway COM
mission amt composed of that sort of
material.

The open saloon is recognized as an

The Called JadeS Vince.

Ex-GOv. John Martin.
Capt. Dick Walker gives the Topeka
Journal a deserved scoring, for its imper-
tinent and absurd reference to his rela-
tives. McLennan is usually reputable
journalist. but when he goes to nosing
about to ascertain how many relatives
of prominent men are occupying small
clerkships in public offices, he is guilty
of very small-not to say dlscreditable
-impertinence. If these clerks are do
ing their work faithfully, industriously
and satisfactorily, it is nobody's business
whose relatives they are-and certainly
the fact that they are related to this or
that prominent man should not bar
them out of employment, in the public
service or elsewhere.
