WANT A SLICE OF MISSOURI.
Kansans Think Their State Line Is
Not Where 1t Should BE.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Jan. 21.-The Kan
sas Legislature, now in session at Topeka,
viii be called upon before the close of it's
present session to pass a bill authorizing
Attorney General GODDARD to institute pro-
ceedings in the United States Supreme
Court for resurvey of the boundary line
between Kansas and Missouri. with the idea
of securing a goodly slice Of the latter State
for Kansas The BILL it is reported. was
prepared in Kansas City and sent to Topeka
yesterday, and will be introduced in the
Legislature some time next week. 1t au-
thorizes the suit to be brought by the at
tcrney general in the name of the State of
KANSAS against the State of Missouri. and
carries with it an appropriation out OF the
public treasury 10 pay the expense of such
litigation. The bill was prepared in con-
formity with a belief which has long eX-
listed in the minds of many old residents of
Kansas that the state line is nearly one
half mile west of where il should be- and
that the State of Missouri Is exercising
jurisdiction over a strip of territory extend
ing from Kansas City TO the southern line
OF the State which really belongs to Kan
sas. The property involved is very valuable.
The question involved is an old one

trade. Every combination known to the OPP
orators art failed to bring a response from
the circuit. Finally, by the use OF other cir
suits. 1t was discovered that a break eX-
listed somewhere between Omaha and Blair,
Neb., forty miles distant. A line gang start
ed out early this morning. Scarcely mad the
suburbs been reached when novel discov
cry was made. No wire was to be found
on the poles along which the copper thread
was strung at such great expense but a
week ago. The poles were there and the
glass inSulators, and in some places few
shining threads of copper indicated where
the wire had been forty feet in the air, but
the wire was gone The gang kept on up
the line for several miles before the north
end of the wire was found. The whole line
for this distance had been removed as clean
ly as if veteran linemen had done the work.
Now the Western Union has agents run
ming around town examining junk piles for
several hundred pounds of copper wire. the
suppoSition is that thieves went to work
early and continued throughout the night to
steal the copper for its bulk market value.
For this purpose it is worth 20 cents
pound. The thieves probably made 500 by
the nights work. During unat time they
must have climbed many telegraph poles
and taken as many chances of dropping to
the earth below and being killed, but appar-
emily the theft was committed without an
accident This is the first experience of the
kind the company ever had.

Members of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Indiana had an opportunity to-day of wit
Messing something out of the ordinary. The
18th of January, the anniversary of the
birth of Gen Robert E. Lee is a legal hol-
iday in Georgia, and perhaps in all the Sc
ceding States and it was celebrated here
with considerable interest. The services
were held in the First Presbyterian Church
the largest and finest in the city-and
were attended by about $50 persons. At 1880
O'Clock the Confederate Veterans marched
into the church and took reserved seats.
The Ledger says 1.-The camp was honored
by the presence of a Union veteran who
proudly marched in it's ranks by the side
of those who once wore the gray" Soon
after the Daughters of the Confederacy
came in a body, led by TWO little girls eiab-
orately decorated with Confederate flags,
as were those who followed. The stars and
stripes nowhere appeared. On the rostrum
was an equestrian picture of General Lee
surmounted by two Confederate flags. After
an organ voluntary the choir sang, perhaps
for the want of something appropriate, the

miliarly known here as Uncle Bob an
aged and RECONSTRUCTED veteran of the civil
war, who held in his trembling hand his
manuscript and pronounced eulogy upon
General Lee in which there was no intima-
ton of repentance or sorrow. From start
to finish it was a gorifcation of the spirit
and deeds of an effort, which happily was
unsuccessful, to break up the Union.
The Indianians here have nothing to say
against General Lee--he was a gallant Off
cer-but such celebrations, they think, tend
only to foster the old feeling, not yet eX-
tinct, of antagonism to the Union.
