Editor Journal: Although the paik-ing of the streets has been talked of somewhat, yet we doubt if those who haye not seen the improvement recently, realize how much it beautifies the city. Topeka has improved many of her residence streets by parking the lots. A visit to our sister city where the old and new ways are so strikingly contrasted shows, perhaps, more plainly how we can make this change than is shown in any older city where parked streets have become universal. On first thought one might feel that the houses would appear more exposed and nearer to the street without these fences, but in fact the results give larger yards, for no fault of its that a full report did no ap ookmg into the affairs of the Government read Cherokee only.

A Close Foot Race. A runner named John Bailey, from Princeton, came to this city and arranged a foot race, 100 yards dash with Chas Griffith, of this city, for fifty dollars a side. Yesterday afternoon the runners and a crowd who went along to see the fun, drove over to Bismaick Grove, and some of them had obtained entrance, when a colored man who works in the grove locked the gate with a pad-lock and refused to let the others in. He also refused to let those inside out. Finally, by threats and slratf gy, those inside got out, and they then proceeded to south Massachusetts street, where the race took place.

Miieham and Mary Wh eat Bound Over The Miieham case was continued this morning, the defense placing Elwood Mile-ham on the stand. His testimony was substantially as follows: He and Mary Wheat were out driving, and when they started aeross the bridge, some insulting remarks were addressed to them by Weidman, who was on the bridge in company with two companions. Miieham told him to be careful in the language he used, and one word brought on another until Miieham jumped from the buggy and slapped Weidman in the face. Nothing more was said until they passed the middle of the bridge when the woman called his attention to the fact that Weidman was following with a revolver pointed at them. Miieham then grabbed a dirk knife and started for Weidman, and when the latter was about to fire at him, he knocked the revolver from his hands and stibbed him three times.

He said that the colored man had nothing to do with the affair and that he had not been instigated by the woman, in the least. In the afternoon Mary Wheat was placed upon the stand and given a very close examination, but did not deviate in the least from Mileham's story. She was questioned very closely in rescard to her previous life but little could be learned from her answers. The arguments were made in the evening and were quite lengthy. John Martin, of Topeka, made a very eloquent plea in behalf of his clients but the evidence against them was so damaging that the opinion of do it, and the governor insisting, the dis Miss May Anderson returned to Topeka yesterday, Mrs.

There is one thing however I have noticed in most of these towns, that is in striking contrast with the condition of things in Lawrence, and that is the unanimity of purpose and effort in all things pertaining to the general good. The letting fellow interest and not excluding self interest be the prominent rule of action, a most notable example of the result of the-every -man-for-himself policy, is in the condition of things in South Lawrence to-day. During the years past valuable improvements have 4een made on that part of New Hampshire' street, lying between Soutfi Park and the Carbondale railroad. Our citizens who have made homes for themselves in this part of the town, did not for a moment suppose but that the street on which they had located and which they have done much to adorn, was continuous throughout its entire length. The fact that it has been open to travel for the greater part of twenty years and never elosed only temporarily, if at all, gave them aright to make this supposition.

Under these circumstances a proper regard for the rights and feelings of others would have prevented any obstruction from being placed across this street (when the question as to its being legally a street was raised), and all good citizens would have united in forwarding such measures as would remove the cloud and secure the street intact. I say a due regard for the rights and feelings of others would have detracted such a course; but still more would a due regard for the best interests of the city, an appreciation of the advantage and almost necessity of streets being continuous and unobstructed throughout. their entire length, would not only hive prevented the Closing of New Hampshire street, but would have probably caused the ball ground to have been located at a point more, remote from the thickly inhabited parts of the city to isome convenient to one of the street railway lines, and yet where its presence would not be objectionable to so large a portion of our citizens. It is examples like this which retards the growth of Lawrence and which will eventually cause her to lose the reputation of being the handsomest town in Kansas. J.

The governor at this stage of proceedings was practically carried to the platform and again cheer after cheer was proposed and given, giving the governor a very short opportunity to recover, In a fifteen, minute's speech he accepted and was followed by Judges Wagstaff and Allen, Salee and others, closing with THREE CHEERS FOR, ROBINSON. This closing the business of the convention, John Sullivan introduced the following resolution, which carried unanimously: "We, the delegates of the democratic congressional convention of the second Kansas district, respectfully tender our most hearty thanks for the courtesy extended us by the citizens of Paola and compliment them upon having the most beautiful ladies of any city excepting Lawrence, in Kansas."
