There is considerable trouble ., The
Soldiers Home and much worry among
al, friends of the institution on account
- r. -olutions signed by fourteen Of thu
5,m,,.s md sent to the legislature, max
;nc chorge- against the commandant
an, the hoard of commissioners The
charges are of a S eriOus nature. and the
signers of the petitio n demand an inves-
tica,ion of the affairs o. the Home. The
friends of those against whom the charg-
es are made, assert that the petition was
gotten up at the lnstigation ct some par
ties who do not reside there. and that 1t
it is the result of jealousy caused by the
election of officers OF Lewis Post. Wheth'
er or not there is anything in the charges
the Times cannot say, but it certainly
seems that there. would be small room
for misappropriation of funds during the
past two years. when the inst. luton has
been sustained on an appropriation IT 3d.
900 per annum, and some of this amount
was used in repairing and making habi-
table the buildings. The charge is made
that discrimination in the weighing of
food in favor of certain families is prac
ticed, and there are other minor charges.
The Times hopes that nothing will be
done to Imperil the interests of the instr
tuition.

Personal Note BY Editor.

We have travelled a few miles in our
lifetime and know what it is to be I'M
comfortably housed in a poorly uphOl-
stored Car, and rudely tossed up and down
on old iron rails that are laid on dirt
road-bed. We have been there; but it
was always on other roads than the San.
ia Fe. Their main line between Chica.
go and Denver is hard to beat The rails
are of heavy steel, the track smooth and
rock balasted, and the through Canon
ba,i train that flies at fifty miles an
hour speed Over this elegant roadway is
as pretty bit of workmanship as Messrs
Pullman ever turned out Each vesti-
bule sleeper is model vi luxury, and as
easy as cradle. Chair cars, library cars
and Gay coaches are all carefully adapt
ed to the travellers every want. The

A Boston friend of c. NJ. Bees2n re
Gently sent Chalk copy of the Boston
Pilot, containing paragraph to the Ell
feet that THE aristocracy of Dodge
City is divided into three classes. Those
who do washing, those who take in
washing, and those who deliver wash
ing" While this is rather hard knock
on Dodge's four hundred, nevertheless it
contains some of the elements of flattery
too. A town that does so much wash
ing must either be awful clean or mighty
dirty, 1t evidently has desire to keep
clean from the immense amount of wash
ing done, and it must be horribly dirty
to have so much done. It's our opinion
that the Dodge people are going to keep
clean regardless of expense, so we view
the notice as compliment.
The New York Post. in lengthy a-ti-
Gle on the number of Kansas colleges for
which there is no demand and use in ifs
opinion, has the following to say of the
college here: '"rhe only encouraging
sign is that one college at Dodge City
has Just been closed The Atchison
Champion says chat this particular insii-
tuition ought never to have been opened,
and that the prese nj supply of instItu
tions far exceeds any demand that can
be expected for years to come" While
1t is possible that Kansas has an over
plus of colleges, the institution here was
not closed SO much for the want of pat
ronage as on account of other causes.
The difficulty in arriving at a settlement
between the interested parties, would
not allow the building to be completed
and consequently students were not TAX
en- in. Time, and not a lengthy period
either, will justify the erection of Soule
college, whatever may be the conditions
surrounding the colleges of other to WINS.
There is report current on the treet
that the recent visit of Mr. Soule and his
attorney. Mr.. Dickinson, had a greater
significance than many supposed, it be-
ing no less an object than looking over
the field preparatory to extending the
MOnteZuma road into Colorado the COM
ing spring. While there IS no demand
for new roads, the peculiar and favora-
bic conditions surrounding this one in
the event of its extension, makes the
proposed move not only feasible but nee
essary- The road cost Mr.. Soule $40, 600
above its income last year, and there is
small probability that 1t will pay ex-
penses this year. If the extension is
made, the resulting benefits are SO plain
it would be superf1uous to name them.
1t will also be the signal for thesWichita
q Western to make Dc dge its western
