They call the man nominated by the
Democrats in Randall's district Lion
Hearted Dick" Vaux. The Topeka Capt.
tai fiaunts this in the face of the Democrat

Carrying coal to Newcastle" is an ex-
preston long used to indicate the inapprO-
priateness of any proposition or action, but
it is now rendered obsolete and meaning
less by the shipment of coal from the Fon-

81, 900 to A. 900; the concensus of opinion

The President has signed the bill for a

law The Champion says that the
site will be selected and pur-
chased during the summer, but work will
not be commenced until next spring as the
legislature of the state must cede jurisdic-
ton to the United States AtchiSon's per
turberances are at an end for the present,
which is more than can be said for her
down-the-river neighbor, 11-worth. But,

nothin,' =" nohow, and it is hardly fair to
bring it into comparison.
