KANSAS has more miles of railroad
than all the New England states put
together She has 1,159 more miles
than the great Empire state of New
York, whose population and wealth
surpasses Kansas, four to one. She
has more than the great state of Penn
sylvania, Iowa or Texas. Kansas to-
day has 8,755 miles of railroad. Ill
inois alone surpasses her with her g.
900 miles. Next comes Iowa with g.
1874 Following her is Pennsylvania
with 1924 Then comes Texas with
8,21O miles During the three years
from 1886 to 1888 inclusive, Kansas
constructed 1852 miles of railroad,
which is more than any one of TWEEN
ty-seven of her sister states have in
operation to-day, and there are only
thirteen states in the Union which
have a greatrr milage of railroad
than Kansas built in those three
years. Scientific American.

Or the fact that irrigation in north
western Kansas can be successfully
carried on, and this locality be made
a garden instead of a desert there is
no doubt. The failure of crops in
Decature county this year was gem
eral, and few raised anything at all;
but the CAPITAL reporter saw one man
who made a success of farming in the
county, and had raised a large crop
the past season. That man is Sol
Reese, of Jennings. He said: 81 IT.

IT is announced by alliance mana

in the various counties. Delegates
do not ordinarily have a vote, but 1T
is claimed that once they were ad-

stitutio1l limits the house to 125 mem
bers. the same clause says that each
ORGANIZED county shall have not less
than one member, and it is said that
the supreme court, CHI ef Justice Hor-
ton presiding, has said that as the
constitution provides that zach house
shall be the sole judge of its own
members, the courts have no 1ght TO

FREE coinage means that any own

RESTLESS REDSKINS.
MUCH DISSATISFACTION IN INDIAN
TERRITORY.
The Messiah Prophecy Believed and
Lands Sold for Money with Which to
Purchase Accoutrements of War.

KANSAS CRY, Oct. 23.-Thomas
Knight, geological engineer of the Rock
Island railway, has been for some
months past in Indian Territory, making
a geological survey of the country to be
traversed by the Rock Island extension.
He returned today and in an interview
said: can alarming feeling of discon-
tent exists among the Indians of the
territory with respect to the occupation
of their lands by whites. The excite
ment among the northern Indians, who
have been wrought up for some time over
the prediction of a medicine man that
an Indian spirit is shortly to come
among them, and by his inspired leader
ship lead them in an irresistible cru
sade against the whites, has extended
to the territory. For months past there
have been passing among the tribes,
various tokens and signs that mean dis
content and secret plotting. There ap-
pears to me gravity in the situation
which could not be overlooked. To just
what extent the Indians are preparing
for war, if war it is to be, I do not know.
1 believe, however, that their will
ingness to part with their lands
has been dictated by desire to
purchase accoutrements of war with the
money received from the sale of their
reservation.
Mr.. Knight made an exhaustive in
vestigation regarding the reported
phenomenal gold finds, and while he
has found that small finds have been
made he Is not of the opinion that gold
exists in any considerable quantities,
and says that most of the excitement is
due to sailing and systematic booming
by persons who have lands to dispose of.

FOUGHT AND LOST.
A New York Bankers Reason for Com

A New York Bankers Reason for Com
mitting Suicide.
New YORK, Oct. 23.-Blakely
Creighton, a banker of 72 Broadway,
was this morning found dead in his
Office, having shot himself during the
night.
His body was cold and rigid when
found, death having evidently occurred
some hours before. The dead man lay
on a sofa with revolver with an empty
shell in one. chamber. At his side on
an Office table lay several sealed
letters, one addressed to his wife,
one to his partner, H. H. Brigham, and
an open letter addressed: "To all whom
it may concern" reading as follows:
81 have fought hard business battle !;
have made square fight, but lost. My
brain has given way, and now by body
must 60. Please break the news gently
to my wife"
George Crosby, cashier, said: ''I left
him at the office yesterday afternoon,
happy, and had never seen anything
in his conduct to indicate that he was
low spirited. So far as know, his ac-
counts are all right. He had no fnan-
cial difficulties, think"
The autopsy developed the fact that
death was not caused by bullet, but
by poison, a large quantity of morphine
being found in his stomach. Apparently
he swallowed so much that it produced
a hemorrhage, and it was this that ac-
counted for the presence of the blood in
the suicides mouth, which created the
impression that he shot himself there.

GEORGIA RACE RIOT.
Only Meager Particulars of the Coffee
County Affair.

Only Meager Particulars Of the Coffee
County Affair.
ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 23.-Only meager
reports are obtained concerning the re-
ported race riot in Coffee county, as the
trouble occurred some distance from the
nearest telegraph Office. Itappears that
four white men were shot down-B. E.
McClendren, Frank and Thomas Seers
and John Hendricks. None of these are
dead. according to the latest reports.
The governor received a request
to order out the militia on the
ground that the whites were at the mercy
of an armed mob of negroes. He ac-
cordingly ordered the Waycross rifles
to proceed at once to the scene. 1t ap-
pears that the negroes are being led in
the riot by l.. B. Warn, a white man, en-
gagged in the turpentine business near
Stokes mill. Stokes and Warn and
Thomas Seers had a dispute about a
tract of land. Warn put his men to work
on the timber land and Seers shot one of
the negroes and drove the others from
the wood. They returned in the after
noon, and fred into crowd of Warns
hands. Warns negroes, to have revenge
on Seers, armed themselves and made
an assault on the settlement with the
above result. At last accounts the matter
was somewhat quieted. It is believed
there will be no further trouble.

THE CREEK NATION.
Chief Perryman's Statesmanlike Message
to the Council.

Chief Perryman's Statesmanlike Message
to the Council.
PARIS, Texas, Oct. 23.-The message
of Chief Perryman, to the council of the
Greek nation, now in session at Ocmul-
gee, makes mention of the law enacted
by congress, by which the western tribes
are fast alloting lands preparatory to ad-
mission as citizens into the American
republic. He then adds: 'Thus the
rights, privileges, and Y authority
of the Five Nations are in
fringed upon, and curtailed at almost
every session of congress. It would
hardly be fair to charge congress with
malice toward the Indians, or willful
disregard of their interests. The gen.
eral policy of the government toward
the Indians is one of humanity and char
ity. The fault lies in the ignorance of
our would-be benefactors as regards the
true condition and needs of the Indian.
Thus congress, in its misdi-
rected zeal for the betterment
of the condition of the Indians, has
handicapped our most .laudable efforts
for self-government, and self-preserva-
ton. The United States authorities
must be constantly informed of our con-
dition, and continually reminded of the
sacred treaty obligations she has entered
into with US in the past. 1t is recon-
mended, therefore, that strong delega-
ton be sent to Washington to represent
our nation during the next session of
congress.

Cleveland had died suddenly, some said

Upon investigation it appeared that
there was no basis for the story, and
that the ex-president had arrived in
Washington to argue case before the
supreme court. When the story was
called to his attention, he said: "You

THE DEsPLAINEs MURDER.
Three Suspicious Characters Arrested for
the Crime.


CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-It was learned to-
day that Michael Brazell, murdered at
Desplaines last night, had about $4,000
in money and notes upon his person, of
which over $1,000 was in cash. As the
men who committed the deed were run
ming away, they passed under gas
light in front of Justice of the peaces
office. They coolly stopped there
and looked over the contents of Brazelps
wallet; selecting the money they tossed
the wallet and papers over the fence and
separated.
This afternoon the police arrested
Frank Burns, who says he is from Buf-
falo, Thomas Sye, hailing from Montreal,
and John Murphy from Toronto, on sus-
picion of having murdered Brazelle.
They were found in the neighborhood
where the crime was committed.
