Harper COunty's illegal Bonds.

A Kansas City attorney interviewed
the county officers of Harper county
at Anthony last week, concerning
some eight thousand dollars worth Of
school district bonds issued by the
parties that illegally organized the
county in 1874 for the purpose of
bonding it as a regular business.
One hundred thousand dollars
worth of county bonds were sold, and
now it appears that they organized
school districts and bonded them.
The bonds presented were for one
thousand dollars each, at ten per cent
and matured in 1884. None of the
coupons or bonds had ever been pre-
sented for payment, so the existence
of the issue was never even Sus
pected. As no school districts were
ever organized, the bonds have 20
value beyond exciting a curiosity as
to the extent of the operations Of the
parties.

The SYindler Caught.

c. D. Lawrence, alias c. Fl. Love,
alias Howard, who robbed the Widow
Kelly Of sll0 few weeks ago on the
pretense Of being brother-in-law,
was arrested at Houston, Mo-, Satur-
day by the authorities Of that place
upon the advice Of 9, c. Shaver.
Shaver was unable to secure a
requisi,iOn from the county attorney
aud Monday afternoon he turned
the case ever to Sheriff Heskett with
the understanding that he was to
secure $50 as a reward. Heskett left
for Missouri last night to bring the
prisoner home.
Lawrence has an unenviable record.
lie served a term 10 the Jail in this
county once before for defrauding a
Wichita photographer in a Mulvane
deal, and was arrested 10 lola. Shaw
yer has been close upon Lawrence's
heels since the latter skipped from
Wellington with Mrs. Kelly's savings.
Last Tuesday he learned where Law
renee would be the fUllOging Satur-
day, aud secured a promise from
County Attorney Ready to give him
a reQuiSitiOn. Shaver claims that
the county attorney first made the
promise upon condition that il Hes
kett did not return flOm Illinois by
that time, and afterwards said he
would give him the reQuisitiOn in
spite of HeSkett. Lawrence turned
up ia Houston Saturday as expected
and began negotiating for opening up
"a photograph gallery. The officers
arrested him aud bottled Shaver.
Shaver asked for the requisitiOn but
il was refused him, as Heskett had
returned. Shaver refused to tell
where Lawrence was under arrest
until Monday afternoon, when he
saw that it vas impossible for him tC
get requistiUn, and he accepted the
$50 reward offered by HesKett and
HeSkett went after the prisoner last
night.

MANY NILES OF CARS
The United States Builds In Six
Months ss, ,Oss Cars for the Use
of Freight Alone.

The past six months have seen an
other record broken. More freight cars
have been ordered than ever before in
like period; the number, ss,Oss.
IL these cars were placed end to end
they would cover more than half the
distance from New York to Chicago: to
be accurate, SCI miles-l27 miles be-
yond Buffalo. An average car is "a feet
long.
Their length doubled would reach
from New York to Havana, from Lon
don to Rome. II would be twice the dis
tance from Paris to London. Multiplied
by eight it would reach the center of the
earth
These cars are nine feet two inches
wide. Side by side they would reach
from New York to Baltimore; or if an
arc of this radius use milesl were in
scribed, with New York as center. it
would include Harrisburg, Pa. and
Providence. Il. l.
II the s65,o6S, 900 expended in build
ing them were distributed in London.
Paris. Berlin, Canton and New York
the five biggest cities in the world
each man. woman and child would have
a little over four dollars
Freight cars are not all wooden.
Some are steel throughout. Some are
part steel and part wood. Some are
wholly wooden. If they were all 81
foot freight cars, taking 2.i0O lin,al feet
of lumber TO build one, il would require
a,22s,22i trees so feet tall to supply the
lumber needed for this industry alone
for six months. The 2u, All 200 feet of
lumber would reach in n straight line
almost once and half around the
world.
Loaded trains average for all grades
about 25 cars each. 1t would take 3,52S
locomotives TO haul these cars. the
actual horse power required being 242,-
goo.
The cars are about l2 feet in height
Combined one on top of another they
would reach 2ll miles into the ether
one-fortieth OF the diameter of the
earth.
There are l.2 cubic feet in bushel of
grain. These cars will carry 1877, sos, Az
cubic feet of merchandise.
Each car will average carrying ca
pacity of 10000 pounds. Wheat weighs
60 pounds per bushel. Each car, there
fore, could carry 1000 bushels. And the
total amount they could all carry would
be ss,0ss,ooo bushels, the yield of be-
tween 5000 and 5000 square miles.
Although some of the cars are far
more expensive than others, the mean
cost is about $3.50. This is conservative.
Taking the price Of $3.50 per car, the
cost of this construction has been $685.

a PERSISTENT PROFESSOR.
A Man With a Griev.Lco Wins Two
Hundred Dollars

All old timers know well Professor
Frederic LON bard, who has taught
many of our townspeople to lisp
French as it is spoken at Stratteford
le. Bow. For long time he has had
a grievance and has sought redress
with a persistency almost heroic,
satisfactory to himself, but terribly
annoying and wearisome to all he
could address.
His wrongs and sufferings were
caused, according to himself, by his
illegal arrest and imprisonment on
frivolous pretences and the only
salve for his wounded honor was an
application of golden coin. To OBJ
tain this he wrote to his Consul and
to his Ambassador at Washington, to
Secretary Hay of the Republic of
the United States of America and to
the authorities OF the Republic of
Hawaii and to it's judges and its
clergy and, in fact to all upon whed
the vagary of his thoughts might
fall.
At last patience and persistency
with the unlimited use of paper, ink
and postage stamps have been
crowned with success. and before his
retirement from office Commissioner
'Vossion had the happiness of pre-
senting to Professor Lombard gift
OF $500 from the French Legation at
Washington, and thus another inter
national incident has been closed
but Mr.. Lombard is not satisfied for
he thinks he should have received at
least $1,000. His friends, however
hope he will remain at rest and
leave them in peace at last.
