We'll Merlted Praise.

The Dickinson County News has the
following well-merited words of COM
mendatiun for the county's successful
superintendent: 81. S. Ford, county
superintendent of schools, has given
the kest of satisfaction, and well he
may, for he is a gentleman and a
scholar, and during hls term Cf Office
has made one of the best Superintend-
ents the county ever had. The News
is pleased to see the friends of the
schouls of the county advocating his
reelection this fall, and can say, if the
Office is to be filed another year by a
republican, that we would rather see
]. S. Ford get there than any one else
who has been brought to our knowl-
edge.n

Railroad Rates.
The following appears in the current
iSeua Of the Kansas Farmer.

The following appears in the current
issue of the Kansas Farmer:
Editor Kansas Farmer:-The "trans-
portation question" was ventilated at
the last meeting of the Grove Hill ALI
ance, and paper was read showing
that according to the reports of the
Pennsylvania railway company for 1881,
the average cost of moving trains over
that road was six cents per mile.
Therefore it would cost to haul train
of say three passenger coaches from
New York to San Francisco, 5000
miles, at six cents, $3.50; three coaches,
sixty passengers each, $50 passengers;
one hundred and eighty persons, at 81
each, $50. Instead of 81 the railroads
charge s15O.5O for a ticket across the
continent.
The American Society of Civil Engi-
neers, in convention June 25, 1885,
gave the cost of hauling freight on
American railroads at about six-tenths
Of mill per ton per mile. At these
rates, if the government owned the
railroads, they could haul our freight
at one-half cent per ton per mile and
passengers at cents per 100 miles (or
fraction) and still clear handsome
profit.
Let us have light on this railroad
monopoly that is robbing us of all the
profits in farming. Does not the gov
eminent hold mortgage on this Union
Pacific road? How much is it and why
don't they fOreclose and run it at cost
for the people? A. r.

FOR MAIL ROBBERY.
oRRTN BUCHANAN ACCUSED OF
A,sERIOUS CRIME.
Arrested by a Deputy United States
Marshal on a Charge Of Tanpering
With the United States Mail While
Acting as Delivery Clerk.

Something of a sensation was caused
nv the arrest this morning Of Orrln
buchanan, son of A. G. Buchanan, the
recent postmaster of Abilene, under
the democratic administration, on a
charge of tampering with the malls
Deuuty United STATES Marshal Richard
Brown received the warrant this morn
ing and sought the young man at his
fathers farm, north of the city. Not
finding him he came back to the city
where buchanan was found and having
been arrested was taken on the noon
train to junction City where he will
have a hearing as to being bound over
to the U. 5. district court.
The young man, who is accused OF
the serious charge, is aged about u
wears and was employed in the post
Office during 1888 and 1889 while his
father was postmaster. He was an
outside delivery clerk and had con-
siderable trouble on his route with pa
irons. 1t was claimed that certain
articles, such as jewelry, money, ETC.,
were lost in the mails and afterwards
known I'D be in his possession. Whether
the charges are true or not remains to
be seen.
A detective has been in the city for
many weeks, though the fact was
known to but few, looking up the case
and it is supposed the arrest was made
ON evidence secured by him. Mr.. Blu
chanan's father and w. z. Seeds, at
torney, accompanies him to Junction
CITY. where the investigation will be
held.

ARKANSAS VIEWS

What an Abi!eneite Saw in our Sis
ter State That was Notable.
Written for the BEFGECTOR.
In my former correspondence | wrote
of IIOxie, and before leaving there l
met the only farmer who come to town
with produce to market that day. He
WAS Il very pleasant spoken colored man
and had on his wagon bale Of cotton
Of about 900 pounds. Entering into
conversation with him, learned tlat
he had lived there about forty years,
coming there with his old master when
boy. AID that he had continued to
stay wi his master long after the war,
but when old master died about fifteen
years agn he had been made the owner
of 100 acres of land Tor his services.
Upon my questioning him about tie
price of land he said he would not sell
but thought the best improved cleared
land was worth about $50, and timber
land about SO. Cotton was only ore
half crop last season, one-half bale to
the acre, and was worth that day nine
and one half cents pound.
Hot Springs is distant 1S7 miles
southwest from IlOXie. The face OF
land along the road is dead level, and
covered nearly all the distance to Little
Rock, lis miles, with dense forests of
timber, largely pine. The laud lying
so low and level, owing TO continued
heavy rains and no natural drainage,
was covered with water from one To
two feet deep. The only signs OF in
dustry to be noticed were the occasional
steam sawmills with large piles of Inn
Der and Sometimes larger Pills of saw
dust near, the lumber having been
shipped away us fast as cut. Ninety
per cent. OF the traffic OF the Iron
Mountain road between HUxie and
Texarkana is in lumber. Little Rock,
the capital of the state, is said to be a
city of 10000 people, but as L was
there only one hour did not see much
of it. Fifty miles southwest of Little
Rock we came to Malvern Junction,
tht country along the distance being
s; ;nilar TO that between HOXie aud
Little Rock. At Malvern tie road
forms junction with a road owned by
the celebrated Mississippi river steam
boat owner, Diamond Joe, which road
has lately been changed from narrow
to standard gauge and is twenty-five
miles long. The road winds up the
valley made by small stream, has a
heavy grade all the way to Hot Springs.
So far through the state the only sign l
have seen, and it is painted on every
board pile and on the low fiat roof of
nearly all the buildings, reads "Use
Malarion." For nearly 200 miles on
this last trip there is scarcely any sign
of farm. In my next 1 will try to
give your readers Il brief insight into
the truly wonderful Hot Springs, the
Mecca towards which so many thouS-
ands make their pilgrimage every year.

the work Of animals ranging In size from a
dog to an elephant. In Shenandoah" a
horse dashes across the stage, supposed to he
bearing Sheridan ON his ride from Winches-
ter. This forms the climax Of one Of the
acts, and generally arouses unbounded en-.
thusiasm. In Neil Burgess County Fair
a horse race takes place on the stage. In
Den Thompson's 'Old Homestead" realism
is added by the appearance Of a yoke Of
oxen.
In "Around the World in Eighty Days" a
caravan Of elephants marches ponderouay
across the stage. Frank Fraynes pieces are
full Of animals. j. X. Emmett has several
times introduced dogs into his plays. In
kerry Cow" carrier pigeons bring news Of
the race. Years ago, in 'The Laplander,'
a thrilling situation was created by having Q
team of real reindeer, ostensibly running
away from a pack Of bowling wolves, dash
madly across the stage, dragging a sleigh.
Everybody is familiar with the dogs which
add so much to ELIAS escape across the ice
with the comicalities Of the donkey in the
same piece. There was hardly an animal not
represented in the long procession which
passed. before Adam and Eve in the drama
of Eden" recently produced in Paris.
When "Rienzi" was brought out at the
Metropolitan opera house in New York a
horse appeared on the stage in peculiarly try.
ing circumstances There were fully 300 PEG
pie on one side, all singing in a mighty chorus.
Daily Yellowstone journal., 1890-03-16

On the other side was stationed n mammoth
orchestra Of brass Instruments. The horse
made his appearance between them and went
through his part, unconfused by the hustle
and uproar. In "A Run Of Luck" six Ken
lucky thoroughbreis, all Of undoubted pedi-
gree, took part, first in a fox hunt and later
in a running race. A pack Of thirty fox
hounds appeared also in the fo1 hunt
There are also many show on the road
which are hardly Of the circus order, but
which consist entirely OF trained animals.
Some years ago a troupe Of educated horses
was toured throughout America in a veritable
equine drama, and similar enterprises have
been carried out with dogs and monkeys as
actors. A company Of trained cats was not
long ago reported from Paris.
But by far the most remarkable exhibition
Of animals is that afforded by Mr.. Darling ian
American) and his educated lions at the
Nouveau Cirque in Paris. These lions go
through a really remarkable performance.
sharing houors with a splendid and intelligent
dog.
They play Mt seesaw, ride v~elocipedes, are
harnessed to a chariot in which they draw
Mr.. Darling about the stage with as great
d~ocility as would a team Of aged donkeys. In
all their stage work they are perfectly docile
and tractabls.
