ping it to purchasers free of charge.
Conway Springs: The visit Of a
corps of surveyors to this place is in
terpreted to mean the location of di-
vision of the Missouri Pacific and the
erection of a round house, shops, etc.
The Santa Fe company have arranged
to ship some 80 cars of oranges and
lemons from California each week dur
ing the coming fruit season. One hun
dred cars of sugar are also to be shipped
from California.
Boston, Mass.-The January state
ment of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa

Reports are current that Jay Gould
has been acquiring large interest in
Rock Island 1t is said Mr. Gould will
name the three directors to be voted for
in June. and two of the executive COM
mittee. Mr.. Gould's object is believed
to be to bring about a consolidation of

Kansas City Gazette: The Chicago,
Kansas & Nebraska railway will be sold
to the highest bidder. Judge Caldwell
has sustained the decision of Newman

poration has an opportunity to secure
it. 1t will take about S27.000,000 to
satisfy the mortgage, and there were
between 100000 and 100000
worth of county bonds that are to be
wiped out There is a rumor that
Gould will undertake to buy it.

STOCK AND FARM.

Salina Republican: A Saline county
farm sold, this week, for S125 per acre,
and it was cheap at that.
The humane officer located at the
Kansas City, Kan, stock yards AYERS
there are more mixed cars of stock be-
ing shipped in than ever before, and
that most heroic efforts will have to be
made to break up the business.
Norwich News: Farmers inform us
that so far the fruit crop is uninjured.
That while we have had no very cold
weather the past winter, there has been
no time when it was warm enough to
start the sap in the trees, so that the
outlook for a coed fruit season Is as
fine as it could possibly I'D at this sea-
son of the year.
Long Island Leader: Josh Beaman,
living north of town, has a pond of
carp fish upon his farm with $50 carp
that he says will weigh four to five
pounds each, and will have small fish
enough this year to stock a county.
He thinks if all the farmers would
make such ponds their lands would be
irrigated besides having constant sup
ply of fresh fish right at their very
doors.
Independence Tribune: a gentleman
of our city who goI his start at farm
ing, now owns 200 acres of good land
which cost him SIS per acre-$3, 900.
He furnishes land and seed and gets
one-half. Last year was not an average
crop season, but, nevertheless. his share
of the wheat and corn sold off the farm
brought him $1,000, or Sc per acre,
cash. 1t will be readily seen that $1,000
profit on $4,000 investment will beat
banking.
Seneca Tribune: Seneca within the
last few years has moved up to the
front as stock and horse market. In
the latter there is not a rival this side
of Chicago. A. S. Mcleod, from whose
stables a car load or two of horses is
almost every week, represents
one of the largest sale stables in this
country. 1t naturally follows, the
farmer is beginning to learn that in
Seneca he gets the highest prices for
horses. This explains the large num-
Der Mr.. Mcleod is now buying and
shipping.

at the top OF Lords hill, with no ons

Independent Tribune: The last OF
the damage cases growing out OF the
Southern Kansas railway wreck, near
Longton, in February, 1897, has just
been decided or settled in the supreme
court. II was the case of L. G. Walsh.
pension examiner. The decision OF
the district court has been affirmed and
Walsh will get his judgment of $4,000
and the interest. The other victims
compromised and the company saved
probably $1,000 on each case. AS it
was the road put up about $4,000.
These cases serve to illustrate the abso-
lutte necessity of relief for the supreme
court. Here is case which has been
rushed forward as rapidly as possible.
and yet the court has been four years
behind in being able to render deci-
sion. They have more cases than is
possible for the judges to review, and
the number increases yearly.

The impeachment Trial.

The Botkin impeachment case will
come up before the senate on April 20.
1t is thought that at least thirty days
will be consumed in the trial The
amount appropriated by the legislature
to carry on the impeachment was S27,-
600, but it is thought by many that
this sum will not be sufficient to pay
the expenses of the case.
The board of managers on the part
of the house has for It's chairman A. n
Wilmington of Lincoln county. The
board will meet April 10. The board
has engaged A. NJ. Mackey as their at

MAILBAG ROBBER ESCAPES.

He walks Out with q Crowd OF Devout
Young Men.
ATLANTA, Ga, March 1.-THE Young
Mems Christian association of Atlanta
aided in the escape of a prisoner from
the county Jail For several years the
association has held Sunday services in
the jail The committee was always
given the freedom of the building. Sun
day fourteen jealous young Christians,
dressed in black and armed with gilt
edged Bibles, made their appearance
as usual, and after a particularly
unctuOus service, departed. About
an hour after they left one of the
guards reported that there were fifteen
in the party that left, while only four
teen had entered. It was then that the
disappearance of Herschel Paris, a mail
bag rObber, was discovered 1t seems
that Herschel had received fine suit
of clothes several months ago and a
Bible, which he had put away until the
officers had forgotten about it. Watch
ing for favorable opportunity to bid
the jail goodbye, he selected the large
crowd of Sunday as good one in which
to hide himself and thus succeeded.
Officers are now in pursuit, but have no

Regions.

Condition of the Great Strike In the Coke
Regions.
SCOTTDALE. Pa, March 17.-With to-
day the great strike of Is, 900 coke work
ers of the COnneIsville region enters
uPou its sixth week. While the leaders
of the United Mine workers viii not say
so publicly, they privately admit that
the men have been defeated. The wages
lost thus far reached over 5000, 600, and
will in a few days pass the million
mark When the fight began General
Manager Lynch, of the II. c. Friclc Co.,
of which Andrew Carnegie is one
of the chief stockholders, declared
that if Mr.. Carnegie would keep
his hands off, he, Lynch, would
beat the strikers clean out of sight. 1t
would appear that Mr.. Carnegie has not
interfered in any way. The mere cir
cumstance that the Fricl1 and other
large companies have held out SO long
is indicative that, if they wish, they can
starve the strikers into a return to work
at a reduction of wages, instead even of
the old scale, for an advance upon which
the struggle began. The iron market
is not sufficiently healthy to make the
demand for coke pressing, and it is said
the operators can undergo another
month of idleness without serious loss
or inconvenience.

THE DETROIT STRIKE.

The greatest strike in the history
of Detroit, that of the street car en-
ployes, came to an end last Satur-
day, the trouble being adj usted
by arbitration. The strike had been
in progress for nearly a week and
was virtually victory for the strikers,
as the street railway company decided
to let the matter be settled by the
representatives of the people. While
strikes as Il general thing are to be
deplored on account of the damage
done to the property and the time
lost to all parties concerned, it is con-
ceded on all sides that the street rail-
way employees were in the right in this
instance. These men were forced to
work from twelve to fifteen hours
per day, with wages averaging Sl.5O
and Sl.75 per day. The drivers and
conductors struck for ten hours, and
in their demand they had the sympa-
thy and were backed by every trades
union in the city. The strikers were
not only joined in their demands by
the different unions, but the leading
business men of the city and even
the police were in sympathy with
them. Street railway travel was al
most at standstill, and was a great
inconvenience to parties living on the
suburbs and conducting business in
the central part of the city. This
strike was no sooner settled than the
employees of the Michigan Car Works,
numbering about 1000 men, quit work.
This strike was for an increase of
wages and nine hours work, the men
being paid, with few exceptions, an
average Of 80 cents day. The men
were joined yesterday morning by he
hands employed in the Peninsular
works, and there will probably be
trouble Of serious nature in Detroit
in Detroit between the authorities and
the strikers if the difficulty between
employers and employees is not settled
at once.

FARMERS ALLIANCE

Of the Farmers Alliance promises to
make of that body the long-talked-of
"third party" This organization has
U large number of workers and organ
izers, not only in this state but in near

the workings and platform of the body,
and their principles meet with the ap-
prevail of the masses of the people. 1t
is not only composed of farmers and
agriculturists generally but mechanics
and working men of all classes. Their
aim is the improvement of the condi-
ton of the laboring man, and there is
not the least doubt but that they will
poll large vote and make their infiu-
ence felt in the election of '92.
