railroad commandments.

The Union Terminal Railroad compa-
ny of Kansas City, Kan, and Wyan-
dotte county has made application to
the board of railroad commissioners for
permission to cross the lines of the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Union Pacific on
the left bank of the Kansas river.
This company had met with the above
railroads and found it impossible to
come to an amicable arrangement as to
terms and conditions of crossing the
tracks, and appeal was made to the
railroad commissioners, under the stat
ute, to do so. The railroads strenuously
resist the purposes of the Terminal COM
pany. and both parties are anxious to
have a hearing on the ground at the
earliest possible date.
This is a matter of the greatest Local
Importance, and the board has notified
the terminal company that it will set ar
early date for the hearing.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

Topeka Journal: About $50 extra
carpenters have been hired in the Santa
Fe yards, to build and repair cars for
the big wheat harvest business.
The Dodge City, Montezuma &
Trinidad Railroad company have fled
their annual report with the state board
OF railroad commissioners. This road is
only twenty-six miles long, and the
train service is furnished by the Rock
Island, for which that company is paid
$500 for each round trip made. The
deficit for last year was 81, 151.42. The
road is owned by Wilson Soule, of ROch-
ester, New York, upon whom the road
and big irrigating ditch that never
had any water in it, were unloaded some
years ago.
It is announced that the Santa Fe
will put in new passenger train sched-
ule on November 6, 1892, which will
be of material assistance in influencing
travel over the route. The new service
will consist of new fast frst-class linn
tied train to and from Chicago and
southern California. A signal departure
will be the inauguration of dining car
service through from Chicago to Cali
fornia, and which will be under the su-
pervis;on of Fred Harvey. The train

KhedIve and sentry.


The Khedive, oddly enough for an
Oriental, did not smoke; but always
carried cigarette case, and delighted
in Offering it and little presents of
money to the English sentries placed
on guard round his palace, when first
Cairo was occupied by the British.
The KhedIVe was an early riser,
and was in the habit Of walking in
his garden early in the morning. One
day, returning from such walk, he
was stopped by a sentry.

amiable contempt for a fat little for

Very good, was the modest re-
Spouse.
"Ah, yer look like it. Nothin' to

KANSAS CHURCHES.

Wichita Eagle: The Baptists OF Saw

practical plan of building q church.
They have rented a quarter-section of
land which they will SOW TO wheat and
will use the proceeds in the erection Of a
building.
The removal of Bishop W. z. Ninde
to Detroit leaves Kansas without resi-
dent bishop of the Methodist church,
for one year at least. Bishop John II.
Vincent will remain at Buffalo, New
York, until next fall, and perhaps per-
manently, if the eastern people Of all
denominations who are interested in
having him stay in charge Of the origi-
nal Chautauqua, have sufficient infiu-
ence. Bishop Mallalieu. Of New Orleans,
who was to have succeeded Bishop Vim
cent at Buffalo, has gone on tour
around the world, and will not return to
Buffalo until next fall. P. I. Bonebrake
said: 1.-The New Workers have succeeded
in getting Bishop Vincent to stay with
them until after the Chautauqua season
next year. We wanted his influence to

Bronson Pilot: There seems to exist
an anomaly between the prices realized
at public sales for horses and what is
paid by horse buyers for good sound

good fair prices while those sold at pub

good marketable horses have brought
desultory prices. The general markets
are not overloaded with that class of
stock, and if we may be permitted to re-
fer to S. o. Markham, who has just re-

that horses are now as high as
they have been for many years. A
good pair of draft horses will bring there
$500 and many a neat, trim, well built
horse that would not bring here if
auctioned off more than $40 or $50 will
sell all the way from $125 to $3.50.
Why can't farmers who have a surplus

IT was inevitable. If we can see

What would there be incongruous in
the spectacle of Christopher celebra-

pas de deux with PinZon and winding
up the ballet by dancing before the
assembled courtiers of Ferdinand and
Isabella, and jumping into air and
turning round three times before
coming down? 1t is all in the point
of view, and once you have admitted
the possibility of a Columbus in bal

quence what eccentric things he does.
So we shall await with equanlmitY

THE Arab revolt in Central Africa,
while probably more largely due to
interference with the slave traffic on
the part of intruding European ma
tions, is also in some measure the re-
suit Of jealousy, For several centu-
ries the Arabs have been masters OF
valuable territorial possessions in
nearly every portion ofAfrica, and, be.
sides, have enjoyed a monopoly OF
trade with the great number of ma
tive tribes and kingdoms. This ter
ritorial dominion and commercial
supremacy are more and more inter
fered with as the Europeans advance.
The outbreak of last winter, follow
ing the friction Of previous years,
seems to have prepared the way for
the present reported General Govern
ment. Massacres of traders and mis-
slonaries may be looked for there,
especially on the upper Congo, the
scene of the principal outbreak. Never
theless it is not improbable that the
matter has been exaggerated.

The CoIorLIna-

A young mulatto named W. II.
Simms applied for admission to the
Kansas Medical college. He paid his
matriculation fee of SIS. He represented
that he was from Oklahoma and had at

stiles. He was admitted, and for a
time all ran smoothly. Finally he was

presence was creating some unpleasant

Simms refused to accept, and there the
