In Ellis county the sheep industry is

Attica Advocate: Corn hereabouts
that has not received proper cultivation

this week with as fine peaches as ever
were eaten by anyone. He says he will

peaches are equal in beauty to the

nurseryman's catalogue.
Wellington Monitor: The oats crop
is one of the surprises of the year. The

he has not yet found any running less

state, in taking appropriate measures
to guard against injury from innoxicat-
ing liquors which it has declared to be
dangerous, may declare that g place
where such liquors are kept for sale as
a beverage is common nuisance and

all that has been done in this case, the
motion to discharge the injunction is
overruled.

KANSAS RAILROADS

Coffeyville Journal: 7. N. Sedg-
wick, the general attorney for the NJ,
K. & T. railroad for Kansas, spent last
Monday night in Coffeyville. He came
down from Emporia to look after the
interests of the NJ, K. & T. in connec-
ton with the extension from this city
into the Indian territory.
Wichita Eagle: 1t has been the GUS
tom in shipments of horses to fairs and
races to charge extra for sulkies and
harness. The horsemen have always
objected to the costly rule. Some time
ago, the Santa Fe presented to the
Trans Missouri Freight association the
proposition to charge nothing for sui
kies and harness when accompanied by
horses. The association adopted the
suggestion and the new rule will go in
to effect on the 18th inst. This will no
doubt be good news for all horsemen,
as it will save them money. AS re-
suit, money saving news is given
hearty welcome.
Vice President and General Auditor
Reinhart is reported as saying: 1.-The
Santa Fe earnings for the fourth week
in June show an increase of $136,309,
and for the month of 1882, 087, and the
st. Louis & San Francisco an increase
for the same period of $16,913 and
SCI, 657, respectively. He predicts, in
dependent of the San Francisco system,
gross earnings for the Santa Fe for the
year will be more than $36,0O0,0OO, as
against $2S,OOOOOO in 1S89-equal to
net earning of $12,O0O.OO0. He saya
the cutting does not seem to affect
the Santa Fe to any great extent, and
its long hauls and natural growth of
country and good management are the
causes of prosperity"

alliances in the state.
Abilene letter: Numbers of republi-
cans are leaving the farmers alliance on
account of the offensiveness manifested
by the democrats, greenbackers, and
union labor men.
From Phillipsburg: The alliance
met here and nominated full county
ticket. Closed doors was the order of
the day. William Baker, congressional
candidate, addressed the delegates in
the afternoon.
The state headquarters of the Farm
ers' alliance will be removed to Kansas
City, Kansas, this week, quarters having

Office there.
Special from ElDorado: At the But
Ter county farmers alliance meeting, it
was decided to establish a county
paper, and proposition was made to
the Butler county Democrat by which
it is to receive $1,000 and become an
alliance paper with guarantee of !, 800
new subscribers.
A Holton dispatch: A farmers alli-
ance meeting was held here, the occa-
sion being for the election of officers
and call of convention to nominate
a county ticket. The line was drawn

ed president. The matter of the nom
mating convention was deferred two
weeks.
Dispatch from Wellington: A peo-
pies convention has been held in this
city and full county and Legislative
ticket placed in the field. Delegates
were present from every suburb ALI
ance and every labor organization in
the county. Resolutions were adopted
favoring free coinage of silver, and de-
clSring against the return of John j.
Ingalls, to the United States senate.
Capital: A lively meeting of the
county farmers alliance was held IN the
alliance hall for the purpose of discuss
ing the advisability of putting a sepa-
rate ticket in the field this fall During
the discussion such prominent farmers
as Hon. Bradford Miller and Hon.
Thomas Buchanan and others opposed
the movement, believing thst the inter-
ests of the farmers would be best served
by remaining in the republican party.
At the conclusion of the discussion,
however, the convention determined by
a large majority to put ticket in the
field, and Mr.. Buchanan and Mr.. Miller
and large number of others declared
that they would withdraw from the
alliance. Union laborites took part
with alliance men in the meeting.

it are contained those animals that cannot

BY way Of honestly and truthfully showing
you the extraordinary carelessness and inapti.
tude Of the government Of Ireland even in the
immediate past let me tell you q true story
Some twenty or twenty-five years ago it was eel
forth that railway from Parsonstown. on the
Great Southern railway and Portumna. an i'm
portant town on the Shannon, would regener-
ate East Galway, much as the new lines of rail.
way of today are to regenerate Mayo and Done.
gal: The local landlords--they still fourished
in those days-provided fair share of the cost
Of the works. The government lent the balance
on mortgage. In duo time the railway failed
to pay even its working expenses. The govern
ment foreclosed. The railway was shut up.
This was bad enough; yet this il by no mean,
the worst. For the other day it was proposed
to resume traffic On the line under certain local
guarantees. The details we're well-nigh settled,
when it was found that the line was non-exist.
emit The rails had been torn up and the
sleepers removed by the neighbors. The line
belonged to no one, only to the government
which had foroclosed, and had not thought il
worth while to employ watchman to protect
the property.
