The Santa Fe Route has reduced its time between Chicago, Kansas City and San Francisco one day. It has mado the same reduction to important Texas points. This is an aggregate saving of one hundred ears for each 36,500 passengers traveling between those points, and adds that much to the working force of the nation.

Beginning with the issue of January 2d, 1800, the Topeka Weekly Capital was enlarged from 8 to 12 pages, and otherwise strengthened in every fea ture. It is a Kansas paper for Kansas people all the time, and worthy of pat ronage. Having made special arrangements with the publisher, we are enabled to offer the Bonner Springs Citizen and the Topeka Weekly Capital, both one year for $1.50. Every Kansas man should have his local paper, for home nows and a paper from the capital of the state. Give this combination a trial.

Minnie I.

Nixon. Agent Union Pacific System. Bonner Springs Ks. rwyl i mere are a great many men who seem to think that Kansas land has depreciated in price much moro than land in other states east. But Ave do not believe that tho shrinkage is as much here as there.

M. M. Hunger, who resides ono mUo north of here, told us last Saturday that his father-in-law, who resides in Powe shiek county, Iowa, had offered, twenty years ago, $25 an acre for 120 acres of land within three-fourths of a mile of Montezuma, the county scat, and his offer was refused but ho now purchased the same land for an acre. He stated, also, that he knew of another farm in the aarae county which sold twenty years ago for $37 an acre, since which time a railroad has been put through near it, and other! improvements, and it sold not long since for $27 an acre. We Know of a farm of 80 acres in eastern Ohio whiehyas sold five years ago for $5,000.

The purchaser expended about eight hundred dollars in inprovements, and last winter he was offering it for $2,500 and has not yet got a buyer. If Kansas people arc under the impression that their land has depreciated more than other states, they are mistaken and as "misery loves company," this may be a sokc to many. Harper Sentinel a 1 dertaker, and is thinking seriously of engaging in that business at thisplaco. TimCashman has resigned as secre tary of the Odd Fellows lodge at this place, on account of not being so situ ated as to come regularly. J.

D. Wa ters, who was elected to fill the vacan cy, will be installed tho first meeting night in July. S. S. Barker made us a pleasant call Wednesday and paid for the Citizen and Leavenworth 'Times a year in ad vance, lie srvs the farmers of his neighborhood are industriously at work in the harvest field.

Wheat, he says.is turning out much better than was expected in his neighborhood. Messrs. Frame and Porter went to Liberty, last Friday to witness a game of base ball between the clubs of Excelsior Springs and Liberty. Por ter pitched for the former club who won the game by a score of 11 to 10, It isscportcd to have been a very sci entific game. People in the vicinity of Commercial avenue and Oak street complain that their peace and quiet is very much dis turbed at late hours of the night by boys whose conduct is very boisterous and unmanly.

Such conduct should be uiscontinueu at once or the perpetrators severely fined for their misde meanor. Harry Everett and Leslie Maxwell, who started for Idaho last week, have returned to the paternal roof. They went as far as Lincoln, Nebraska, where two traveling men told them that the snow as four inches deep in Idaho and related to them other woes existing In that country, so the boys returned. jrom rne jvansas uty uazette we learn that the assessments of realty in Wyandotte, Delaware, Prairie and Quindaro townships were raised 71 per cent. The assessment for the city of Argentine was reduced 10 per cent.

The assessment for Kansas City, Kan sas, was reduced 10 per cent. The assessment of realty on Minnesota avenue, from Fourth to Tenth street was reduced 15 per cent from the agreed reduction of 10 per cent. The Evening News states that the population of Kansas City according to the census will not exceed 130,000 souls (providing of course that every person in Kansas City has a soul which is rather doubtful.) As near as we can learn the population of Bonner Springs, (not including the original package venders, who should be count ed with the red-nosed bourlonson the other side of the fine), will be between 500 and 130,000, anyway not exceeding the latter figure. Kansas City Gazette: It stated upon what appears to bethbest au thority.that the Wyandotte County Fair Association, which was organized a few days ago, Lad leased a tract of about fifty acres, lying just outside the city at Eighteenth and Minnesota avenue, belonging to Messrs. Squires, Combs, Kerr and -the Kensington railway company.

The land is within close proximity the Kensington line, ana tne company will at once begin on the extension of the cable line from Tenth street west, mis win piace me iair witnin easy accessofthe people of all parts of the city. It is estimated that by the ex penditureof $5,000 -a first-class half mile track can be made. Work on the grounds will commence at once with view to holding the first fair this fall. jbfcadly speaking, shown more zeal in the South than in any other part of the country in the promulgation of its, views and in tho practical work of demonstrating its strength and inten- tions. mere is no reason to believe however, that the West will be slighted in this direction.

A canvass in some parts of Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota is either under way or threatened. in the latter State a full State ticket -is" to be nominated a month hence; and a candidate for Congress in each district is to bo put in the field. The Congressional crusade is to be made especially active, it is said: and the organization so its leaders declare, hopes to secure enough districts in the two sectior.s named to be able to control the House of Representatives and dictate terms to that body. The future of the Alliance is a question of absorbing interest to both Republicans and Democrats. Will it be potent enough to cap-turo any of the ki which it makes an active canvass? Can it make good its boast to bring the popular branch of Congress under its influence and compel a practical recognition of its policy and purposes by that body? Will it xert a permanent effect on the 'and aspirations of cither of the great parties, or will it, like the Grange of fifteen or -twenty years ago, die early, and leave no trace of its existence outside of a few local enactments which were declared unconstitutional or were allowed to become a dead letter? These arc questions which hun dreds of thousands of intelligent bersons all over the country are flSknrr themselves at hk moment To most of these queries the events 0f the next few months will fur- nish the answer.

The path of the Alliance is beset with perils. One of the most insidious, persistent and potent of these is -the professional politician. So far as the public is able to' itidge, this in dividual has not yet gained a foot hold in tho organization, or if he has hi presence hasBot been man ifested injuriously or obtrusively. The temptation to secure tho aid of tho politicians, however, may yet be, as it was in the case of the Grange, as powerful as is their doeire to secure admission into its ranks, and if this temptation be yielded to the Alliance will cease to be a factor in the pobiiC8.of the country.
