State Capital for Two Days.

The legislature made provision for
taking care of site three miles west
OF Fort Riley, on which stands the
ruins of a two-story stone structure
that for two days was the capitol Of
the territory of Kansas. In 1855, the
year in which the building was erect
ed, the place was the site of the town
of Pawnee, which, it's founders be-
'ieved, would some day be the metrop-
oils of the west. OF the buildings
which formed the town, there is not
a vestige left of any but the old cap
ito1 and that structure is surround
ed by government bayfield,. A. 81.
Reeder, the first governor of the ter
ritory of Kansas, selected Pawnee as
the capital in 1855, and the first legis-
lature of the territory assembled there
on July 2 of that year. The stone
capitol was 60 feet long and 40 feet
wide. The upper council met on the
second floor, while the house of repre-
sentatives gathered on the floor below.
the executive mansion was one of the
log cabins in the town. The pro-
slavery members were found to be in
control of the legislature, and after
two sessions they adjourned the body,
to meet later at Shawnee, as being in
a region more favorable to the pro-
slavery sentiment. Shortly thereafter
Jefferso@' Davis, the then secretary of
war, ordered the town destroyed.
Damages Against Mrs. Nation.
Some months ago Mrs. Carrie Ma

attorney of Barber county was grant

The train was stopped and the uncon.
scious man taken on board. He died
within few minutes after the train
left the depot and his body was taken
to kingman, where the coroner held an
inquest the following day. The jury
of inquest returned verdict to the
effect that the death of Agunda was
due to the fact that the train failed

that it failed to whistle or ring the
bell The body was inferred in the
Kingman cemetery. Deceased is said

arated.

The Creed of Good Conduct.

One strong reason why many persons
still hold to the churches, although
they have discarded much of their
creeds, is the wretched conduct of
some who ostentatiously throw their
old creeds off.
When professor of Applied Chris
tianity" cowardly forsakes the wife of
his youth and leaves his children, and
unconventionally marries disciple OF
his loose jointed social philosophy,
from whose family be has long secured
his maintenance, we'll balanced men
and women. Whatever their faith may
be, find something more than creed
in the churches. They prefer an or.
derby social life with an implied &C.
ceptance of out-worn doctrines to an
irresponsible social order, even if its
creed were to their liking.
Greed, in fact, plays an everlessen.
ing part in the life of the American
people, and conduct plays an ever in,
creasing part. Their religion, what
ever the tbeologians say, is religion
OF conduct, which, instead of being
three fourths of life, as Matthew Ar,
mold measured it, has come to the nine
tenths of the life of the masses of good
people 10 the United States.
Bnt with the waning of faith and
with the increasing emphasis on con
duct, has come an ever-growing tolera
/ ton of one another's opinions. FOL
Grafton is, indeed, the GROWING dis
] tinction of a archaeological era, tol
Grafton of any sane opinion and ever
of many insane ones, but not of con
duct that denies the primary obliga
tons or disorganizes an orderly social
life. Impossible as it is to arouse any
interest in discus ion of infant bap
tism, for instance, public opinion
wholesomely inflicts its severest pun
ishment on a man who deserts his owl
children, whether his creed be ortho
dox or be some wretched patchwork o
social reform" and irresponsible,
