ILLINOIS HOUSE G'oud W. E. CAPWKLL, CIMAliltON KANSAS. Special Dispatch to tlm Glone Democrat. Topeka, May 10.

A series of frauds has lately been Concocted in Kingman county. M. S. Sprowles the County Attorney E. M.

Karr, a Notary and If. .1. McLean, formerly Deputy Shcrilf, have been arrested. Sprowles gave I ai 1 in the sum of $2, Karr gave bond in the same amount, and is still in the county. McLean was unabie to give bond, nnd Is in jail at Hutchinson.

They are charged with obtaining '2. of Mr. Watkins, a loan agent, in Lawrence, and 1,1 00 from Mr. Davidson in" Wichita. It is believed they have obtained more of other loan agents.

Their plan was to forge abstracts of the title, signing the Register's name, and using such other means as were necessary to accomplish their purpose. In this way they borrowed money on land yet owned by the Government In one case they raised as high as 81 e00, reporting that, it was an improved farm whn it was a raw prairie not yet deeded from the Government. Of couise they hid then to personaU the pretended borrowers. There is much feeling in Kingman County over the matter, and the offenders will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Kansas is a prolific country, a windy country, and a great country for lying editors.

Peach trees bios sum the first year from the seed heifers have twins nt the age of two years; old people renew their age and and are blessed with a new lot of progeny on removing to Kansas: while a straight twenty or forty years' continued effort in the East failing ot a reward, a removal to Kansas brings about the son and heir in a few months. Hut this is nothing to do with the fact that we have a man in our midst, who has been married nine ty months, ninety days and five hours up to last Saturday morning at six o'clock, when h.s wife presented him with a thirteen pound bouncing boy, this being the tenth in number since marriage. Our friend has obeyed Governor Harvey's injunction to the letter, and that was to "'spare no et fort to increase the population ot the Walnut Vttl'ny 'Z'it's. OBITUAHT. Died On Wednesday morning May 12th.

Aaron Stone, late of Athens, Pennsylvania, breathed his last. He had been sick but a short time, his ailments seemed to be congestion of the bowels. Mr. Stone to this county one year ago last March, secured a tract of Government laud, and returned to Pennsylvania, to arrange for final immigration to this ulace. He came back a few weeks ago, and has been living witU bis friend Horace mm while lit? was building a house, and making other improvement upon his "claim" preparatory to removing his family (consisting of his wile,) thereon.

Mr. S. was about 7.) years of age, and leaves a wife and two daughters to mourn his loss. With all due respect to the memory of our aged friend, we fear his zeal to become a land holder iu Kansas, blinded his better judgment to re main the balance of his allotted time at his old home, surrounded by the old associations of ears, and the Published every Saturday at Cimarron, Kooie, Kansas Kntkkku at tiik PosJ' Oki ick at (J cm ah kon, anh, AsSiccoSm Class Maiti THOMAS IIYAN.

His record in Congress has been inai ked ilh great success from the liaiii Although his bill for arrears ol pensions did not itself puss, still lie provisions of it have finally become hiw. Tin; Korty-fi ft Congress formerly declared it would not iiulliorre iiuy new Federal buddings, not withstand ing wliirli Mr. van micceeded in getting a bill pfissed providing tor die construction of a new Court-house nnd posfollice at Topeka, costing With one exception this was the only appropri-ation lor 1 i purpose by that Congress. During the same M'Ssion lie succeeded i cnl isling Congress in inaugurating a survey of the, Arkansas river lo the line of his State, with view to its improvement for the purpose of navigation. Lust year appropriated $20,000 for Hie improvement of that r'ver from Fort Smith to Wichita, nnd will this session appropriate like sum.

If the stream can be made ha vigable, for one half of the year it will be of incalculable rid vun tage to the State of Kansas. It was Mr. Kyan who caused Oiat is known as the Cherokee strip to be put in market; it is now nearly all take by actual Settle is. He was also untiring in his efforts to bring into market that magnilicient body of land, the Kansas Indian trust and diminished reserve lands, at such reasonable rates as would be just to the settlers. The last legislation essential to a iiual consummation of this seheinu In one law a lew months since.

There is no measure of more importance to this State generally, 1ml more especially to the people, in that part to which its provisions arc applicable, than his bill in relation to that immense tract of country known as the Osage diminished reserve and trust lands, lie having labored most earnestly for the success of this bill, it finally passed the House last dune; is still pending in the Senate, but will doubtless become law during the present session Mr. Kynn's bill for the relief of colored immigrants, at-lerasloriny passage through the Senate is now a law. His bill creating a new land district in the southwes tern part ol his Slate, pa-sed the 1 lou-e and is pending in the Senate. Ills hill to restore the Fort Dodge reservation to the public domain, and directing the Secretary of the Interior to dispose of it to actual settlers, also passed the House, nnd is soon likely to pass the Senate. His bill for the relief of Kt-ttlcrs in tno western part of Kansas ho lost their crops roni unavoidable causes last year, by which it is provided thutMich settlers may have leaf to be absent from their claims until October 11 1881, and that during fcueh absence no adverse rights shall attach, nnd give one year utter expiration of leaf of absence in Inch to make final proof of payment pas the House a few days ago, and it is to be hoped will soon become a law.

Another of his bills directing the Secretary of the Interior to certify to his State about 50,000 acres of remaining unsold July 1 11; all remaining unsold July 1 lM'2, to be sold fit, not less than cents per acre and all remaining unsold July 1 lKHa, to be sold at not less than 2 cents per acre. The Committee on Public Lands have unanimously approved the bill and it will no doubt be passed in its order. He is now making an effort to secure legislation to give the right of way to one or mre railroads through the Indian Territory, and has so attracted the attention of the House to its importance the commerce of the West and South that it is probable that some measure of the kind will soon be passed. Very many of his private bills have parsed the House, some of which have also passed the Senate, and others are still pending in that body. He has also several special pension and other special relief bills on the House calender, which have been reported favorably by the Committee on the Whole.

Mr. Pyan worked vigorously to extend the free delivery system, and secured the benefits of the same for Topeka, Kansas. He takes a deep interest in all th measures that come before the House, especially those relating to the interests of the West. It has been the practice of the Indian office, to let contracts for Indian supplies in the city of New York, although the supplies are produced upon ihe very borders of the Indian country. Hi; recently, in the House, when the Indian appropriation bill was under consideration, exposed the absurdity of the practice, and the extent to which it excluded the Western producers and business men from bidding, nnd fostered a ring of professional contractors who had a monopoly ol the business.

He sought to amend the bill by a provision that all bids for subsistence supplies should hereafter be opened at some suitable place in the i est. Although the amendment was ruled out of order, the same proposition is likely to succeed in the Senate. He succeeded, however, in so a-mend'uigthe bill that the Department must give six weeks' public notice by advertising before it can award contracts for Indian supplies. This will give the Western people time to make their bids, which heretofore has been practically denied them. Mr.

llyau's speech on the political riders at the extra session of Congress received most complimentary notices from all the leading Republican papers in the country. At the same session he boldly moved to suspend the rules and pass the Army appropriation bill the Republican side of the House stooil solidly with him, but the Democrats moved and carried an adjournment, amid great excitement. In the Department, it is said, he has procured more increased mail facilities for his district thin any other man in Congress for any other district. He is much respected in Administration ntf iirs. He is one of the hardest working members of the House, averaging about 10 hours a day.
