1siah Smyser a prominent farmer and
old time republican, of kechi township,
was here yesterday. Mr.. Smyser is the
trustee of his township, as the assessor Of
Kechi township he has this year visited
every farm in the township. During the
several years that Mr.. Smyser has been
resident of his township, there never has
been a year so promising as this one.
Kechi probably possesses as much good
land as any township in Sedgwick county,
in fact there is not foot of land in that
township outside of the numerous groves
and orchards that can not be plowed The
wheat crop in that township is the finest
ever harvested. The harvest is progressing
slowely owing to the rain. but the farmers
will get it all. Fruit is most abundant,
there will be apples, plums and peaches by
the car load. Corn is late but growing
very rapidly and is of good color ana
promises well.

Carl Klein, travelling man of this city,
came in last evening with very fine sam
pie of California wheat. of the Fulcattor
variety He gathered it on the farm of a.
c. Shinn, who lives two miles south of
Peck. Mr.. Shinn has forty acres of this
variety, which is expected to yield at least
forty-five bushels per acre, and if the en-
tire field is like that which is in the sam
pie, there can be no doubt of the expecta-
tons being realized. Mr.. Klein also
brought in lot of volunteer wheat which
grew along the railroad track near Peck,
which is better than some wheat that has
been raised in this county in other years.
One stool of this volunteer wheat has
thirty stalks, all of which have long and
well filled heads. One more added to the
long list of proofs of Kansas productive
ness.

PENSION OFFICE RUMORS.
Clerks Who Have Circulated False Words
About the Bureau to Go.

Clerks Who Have Circulated False Words
About the Bureau to Go.
There is a disturbed feeling in the pension
office, which seems to be based upon rumors
relative to proposed dismissals. It is asserted
that Commissioner Raum has determined to
get rid of a certain class Of employees who are
believed to be active in supplying the enemies
OF Gen. Raum with the material for the sensa-
tional stories that are printed about the pen
sion Office. II is claimed that the commissioner
knows the person who writes the most objec-
tionable articles and for some time past he
has had him under surveillance. In this
way he has found ont who talks with him and
the names Of a number of employees of the
pension office have been reported to him. It
is said that all these employees will be dis
missed. According to the rumors now af1oat
no less than thirty dismissals have already been
made and others are contemplated.
SOME DIsMIssAIs PENDING.
Gen. Raum ia at present out of the city, but
those who are apt to know something about his
upon these rumors. The records of the depart
ment also show that recently there have only
been some five or six dismissals in
the pension Office. Two or three are
now pending and in the case of one the
clerk effected has appealed to Assistant
suspended until the grounds for the dismissal
be fully made known. There may be other
cases yet to come and probably there
will be. 1t is known that Commissioner Raum
feels that it is unjust that men employed in
the pension Office should be active In circulat-
ing lies and in defaming his character. Some
time ago he gave orders to the division chiefs
to report to him the names of clerks worthy of
promotion.
INEFFICIENT CLERKS TO BE REPORTED.
At the same time he suggested that while the
work of efficient clerks was thus rewarded it
would be well to impose a penalty for inefi-
cheney and idIeness by reporting the names Of
clerks whose records were bad either for
reduction or dismissal 1t is understood
that this order will now be enforced,
and that the commission will endeavor
not only to reward but also to
punish. Neglect Of such failure to properly
attend to the duties of his position will entitle
clerk to be considered either for dismissal or
reduction. But it is understood that in addi-
tion the commissioner is of the opinion that
clerk who circulates lies about the Office can
properly be punished by dismissal In the
event that this policy is carried out, there seems
to be no doubt that number who are now in
the pension Office will be called upon to give up
their claim for a salary from the government.

A Delegation Urges the President to Appoint
John M. Langston.
A delegation Of colored mea, citizens Of vir-
ginia but residents of Washington, called on
the President this morning and urged the ap-
pointment Of John NJ. Langston to be one Of
the new circuit judges. The delegation in
cluded J. II. Harrison, chairman; F. D. Lee,
secretary; T. F. Belts, W. h. Jordan, W. H.
Nelson, d. ". JONES' Henry Cox. Rev. ]. s.

ton and Thomas Allen. They represented the
Virginia Republican Association of Washing
ton, and they left with the President copy Of
a memorial drawn up at meeting Of that or
ganization held last Tuesday night, strongly
indorsing Langston's selection.
The document went over Mr.. Langston's DO
itical and public career and concluded thus:
t'In our opinion, and we think that we voice the
sentiment of the country at large. John N. Lang
ston of Virginia is pre-eminently fitted for the
judicial bench, q man Of much learning and ex-
perience, mature in years and in every way
competent to discharge the functions Of the
position. We present him to you the undis-
puted leader and representative Of 5000, 900
Of loyal American citizens, who join Us in ask
ing that he be appointed"
The President listened attentively to what
the delegates had to say and then told them
that he would take the matter under consider
alton. He added: This petition has as much
weighsas has We been presented in be half
OF candidates for these positions. II Mr.. Lang
ston receives the appointment il will be on &C.
count of his fitness and not his color, and NO
other consideration buS that Of ability viii
enter into the case In the selection Of any of
the judges."

ALL THAT NOW REMAINS Is TO PAT THE OWNERS
THE SUMS AWARDED THEN-rHKN THE SUPER
vIsINa ARCHITECT CAN MAKE HIS PLANS AND
THE WORK OF ERECTING THE BUILDING BEGIN.
Tho site for q city post Office has at last been
definitely secured. The Presiden. this morn
ing signed the papers in the case and thereby
approved the proceedings of the condemns
ton commissioners and the court, and the title
is now so near to being vested in the United
States that what remains is but a matter Of
form. The case came up before him for final
action in the form Of q Communication from
the Secretary of the. Treasury, dated June Is,
on which the indorsement was as follows:
SECRETARY FosrER's ENDORSEMENT.
submitting the case Of the acquisition Of
square S23 as site for the United States post
Office building, Washington, d. c., for his con-
sideration and direction in regard to the dam
ages awarded by the report Of the commission
appointed by the court and confirmed by the
court"
The President writes as follows on his side of
the sheet:
THE PRESIDENTS APPROVAL.
'ExECUrIvE MANSION, July 1, 1891.
AFTER a full consideration of the case
hereby decide that the public interest requires
that payments be made to the persons entitled
according to the judgment of the Supreme
Court OF the District Of Columbia, in the man
ner prescribed by law, for the property en-
braced in square 1923. condemned for a site for
the United States post Office building in WASH
lngton, DC, authorized by acts Of Congress
approved June rs and August 80, 1880. and
March 3. 1891, and direct that such action be
taken. BENJ HARRISON"
This removes all chance of the failure of the
proceedings, and the next steps may be taken
just as rapidly as the routine Of departmental
work will allow. The new city post Office will
be located on the square opposite The STAB
Office, beyond any possibility OF doubt
THE QUESTION OF TITLE.
The title has not been wholly cleared or
proved. There has been great deal of evil
dence collected by the individual owners of the
property to prove their own titles, but in one
or two instances there are clouds on the land
that have not yet been removed. The Attorney
General will be asked by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury-the supervis-
ing architect - to take steps to
prove the title to the square. and no payments
will be made until the Attorney General sends
back certificate of straight ownership. The
process of obtaining a good title will be con-
Quoted by the district attorney.
This done there is nothing to prevent the
architect from thinking out his plan if
he wishes, and by the time that the
property is completely owned by the govern
ment he will doubtless be ready to detail
force Of clerks on the work of drawing the
plans and specifications and to push the opera
ton of clearing off the square. Active work
may be begun by August 1.
