Leavenworth living on Dacotah street near Third, who has on several occasions frightened ladies in that locality, by his prowling around yards after dark. The boy's name is Brown and he is harmless, but the probabilities are that some night he will be mistaken for a burglar and receive the contents of a gun barrel. A Wife Slurs her Husband. The police were called to a saloon on Cherokee tor" to defeat the'ap-Hrintment and confirmation of Kansas Iemoerats to offlee. He fought them before they were appointed and vilified and most grossly lied about them afterward to induce the senate not to confirm them.

We recognize bis tight to oppose the appointment of men to office by fair and honorable means, but deny his right to lie about them as he did, nntil Secretary Lamar wrote him in substance that it was singular that the men he. Martin, wanted appointed to office would, to believe him. make the angels blush by comparison, while according to his (Martin's) statements, all the other Democrats, who asked office, notwithstanding Mar. tin's objections, would make the worst criminal blush with shame by comparison, and if Martin could not in future ask for patronage in a more gentlemanly way that would end their correspondence. This is the substance of the letter a copy of which is before us while this.

But this is not all. Mr. Martin willfully, maliciously and cor something to do with it; nevertheless he was genial and talkative and perhaps more of an interviewer than the one interviewed. "When did you leave Washington?" asked the reporter. "I left there on the 13th.

Let me see, this is the 18th, is it not?" The answer being in the affirmative the General continued: 1 am making a trip to look after some of the signal stations. It is well to give personal supervision to those things." "You are not here to see Prof. Foster's storm -Oh no. I know of Prof. Foster, Wiggins and all those fellows, but they don't know anything.

How far ahead do they predict storms The reporter replied that Prof. Foster had been known to predict storms thirty davs ahead. 1864 and was for a director's car and was intended to run on the military roads when the heavy fighting was accurring, and was also used by military officials. It bore all the trappings belonging to wealth and rank and was complete in every de partment. New York papers discuss the possibil ity of Mr.

Bayard's resignation because of Republican attacks on his foreign policy This is absurd. Mr. Bayard entered the cabinet at the sacrifice of his presidential prospects because he believed thatheeoHld serve his party and the country there better than in the Benate. His foreign policy aims to protect American citizens and to uphold the honor of the government, and he will never resign from the cabinet un less he is left unsupported. Were that to happen, there is very little doubt that he "would take his hat and go home." Frank Bacon is the Democratic nominee for congress in the Second district.

Quite appropriate. As Kansas commissioner to the New Orleans exposition, he went out to slobber over old Jeff Davis, and called it receiving the old Lib erty Bell. The legislature plastered him for it, and last winter his friends attempted in vain to remove the plaster. In November, the people of the Second district will slap it on tighter. Troy Chief.

Such talk will not hurt Frank Bacon's candidacy. His action in the Jeff Davis business does not call for censure. If the poor, broken down, old rebel wanted to say a few kind words to the old Liberty Bell it did not hurt anybody or wipe out a single star from our flag. Mr. Mitchell's last sermon has occa sioned much comment.

Two correspond ent's of the Standard to-day pay their respects to him, one directly and the other indirectly. Leavenworth is not such a bad place as the young preacher paints her; in fact, she is as good as most of her neighbors. The truth is, however, that the saloon keepers would take a great deal of ammunition from men like Mr. Mitchell if they would keep closed on Sundays and refuse to sell liquor to minors or men in an intoxicated condition. It is to the interest of the saloon keepers to keep orderly and quiet places, as many of them in Leaven worth do.

One of the Episcopal clergymen of Chi cago, Rev. Thos. E. Green, rector of St. Andrew's church, with the conviction that the public schools are responsible for a large share of the mistaken views, the loose morals and the social disorders of the day, is establishing a parochial school in connection with his church for the educa tion of the youth of the parish.

Mr. Green believes that education in the public schools with religion strictly excluded is the source of the "infidelity and atheism that flourishes in the land, bringing their inevitable fruit of communism and an archy," and that unless the process of edu cational secularization shall be stayed, the aspect of the future is black and lower ing." Met, Hudson, of Kansas City, is one of the successful managers of the west. His career shows what untiring industry will accomplish. A few years ago he made a living by posting advertisements on bill boards that then stood where to-day are handsome five and six story brick build ings. He grew with Kansas City and now can draw his check any day for a large sized amount.

He is the manager of three theatres and will run them as they should be. It will be no uncommon thing for Kansas City people to have in the future Shakespeare at the Coates, Sheridan at the Gillis, and Gilbert and Sullivan at the Music Hall and all on the same night. Great is Kansas City and great is Pooh Bah Hudson. Corn is being purchased from Nebraska farmers at prices ranging from 20 to 53 cents. Corn is selling in Chicago at double the price.

In other words, it takes an amount equal to the value of farmers' produce In Nebraska to get it to the market. Freight rates west of Chicago are double what they are east of the lakes. A bushel of corn can be carried from Chicago elevators to New York for less than half the rates charged our producers to transport it from the Missouri to Chicago. With laud valued at from three to four times what our people secure from their farms, the Illinois farmer is able to obtain a hundred per cent more on his crop. Why? Because the monopoly of railroad transportation is broken by the all water route from the lakes to the seaboard.

Eastern railroads are contented with annual dividends of from four to six per cent on their enormous traffic. The western trunk lines are setting aside from ehfbt to twelve for the benefit of stockholders on their tremendous over capitalization. Why? Because the traffic in the absence of competition bears rates which will return such a profit on the investment. Omaha Bee. We wonder if the same thing cannot be said of Kansas The trouble is that the railroads do not compete with one another.

They go Into a pool, fix a rate and a farmer has to keep his grain or sell it for nothing. MICHAEL. DAV1TT. In Mr. Michael Davitt's excellent speech at Chicago on Saturday the Irish patriot showed how wisely conservative the men of his race can be.

With all the incentives Mr. Davitt has, and they are many, to hate the very name of Englishman, the speech Indicated a faith in the ultimate success of the nationalist cause and in the spirit of fair play of the mass of the English people. It is a fact which ought to add much to our reverence for the dignity of human nature the appearance of Michael Davitt as a protester against the resort to any but peaceful and constitu tional methods. It affords a fine contrast to the acts of violence which Churchill has inspired, and which the Belfast Orange men are perpetrating. Davitt's first recollection almost Is of wandering in the streets of an English city with his aged father and mother, who had been evicted from their farm and driven out of their and his native country because the rent demanded by their landlord's agent could not be earned by the land.

Since then he has been an agitator for the Irish cause and he has lived within the walls of an English prison. But notwithstanding all this, in his speech at Chicago he expressed the expectation that home rule would come, and that the tory triumph was only temporary. His tone was moderate, and he answered his Irish critics on this side of the wati-r who complained of the Parnellites for accepting Mr. Gladstone's measure, that it was all that could be had at this time; that nations which had been for years in subjection could not expect to leap immediately to independence. That Mr.

Davitt has faith that the English people will eventually be just to Ireland is shown by his statement that the land bill killed the home rule proposition, because the British taxpayers were alarmed by the prospect of being compelled to buy out the Irish landlords. This is a sad outlook for the absentees who have been living on the pauper farmers who have been cultivating their estates. Meantime, while this victim of English injustice is counseling peace and moderation to his fellow countrymen, Churchill's Orangemen are killing Catholics and insulting the authorities in Belfast; brutal agents are evicting tenants in Kildare; Sir Michael Ilicks-Beachis-urging coercion, and Lord Salisbury proposes a prorogation of parliament without an attempt to settle the burning question of the empire. Who Is most in accord with the spirit of Christianity and civilization? Michael Davitt or the Tories HAS BOLTED. The Fourth eongressional district Democratic convention last Wednesday at Emporia nominated John Martin, of Topeka, as candidate of that prty for congressman, and in so doing the convention did just what it had a right to, it did as it pleased, and we propose to do tbe same.

We don't propose to raise the ticket, or support or vote for the candidate. And we dont know that our reasons for doing so interests either Mr. Martin or the public very much, and as it will cost neither of them anything, it becomes a question that is none of their business, therfore, we can well afford to give them in our own way. subject only to the laws in such case made and provided. We refuse to support Mr.

Martin's candidacy ia any way for the following among other "reasons: He is not a Democrat, two years ago he voted the Republican state ticket and bragged of It since. He- later proceeded to Washington and there labored with Republican congressmen and sena Everybody was talking about the Standard's interview with Mr. Len T. Smith. Wherever you saw a crowd of men they had a copy of the Standard and were discussing the "right of way" matter.

Nobody seems to know exactly what it meant and for the information of the public we reprint to-day the proposition: The County of Leavenworth shall subscribe to the capital stock of the Leaven worth. Northern Southern Railway com pany the sum of ninety thousand dollars to aid in the construction of the railroad of said company, on the terms and same conditions hereinafter named, to-wit: First That twenty thousand dollars thereof or as much of the same as may be necessary shall be applied to payment of the right of way from the state penitentiary, through the city of Leavenworth, to the west line of the city.

It is a further stipulation to be made as part of said subscription that in order to hasten the completion of said road, if said company shall complete said road to the north line of the coun ty by first day of June, 18H7, then in considera tion of such early completion of said road and of one dollar to be paid by said company the ninety thousand dollars of sto-k subscribed for shall be by the county transferred to said company.

Looklnff for Her Dauerhter. Last night a widow lady giving her name as Revels came uu from Kansas City accom panied by little eight year old girl and be gan to search for her eighteen year old daughter, Nellie whom she said had left home about a week ago. No trace her was found last night, but to-day Police Officers McFarland and Sutton, and Detective Sargent found Daniel Barrett, a young man about twenty-two years of ajre. Daniel is the young Lotherio who is re sponsible for the absence of the girl having arrived with her in Leavenworth last Tues- lay. They engaged a room near the cor ner of Fifth and Choctaw streets where where they proceeded to live as man and wife.

When Daniel was found by the police he at first delined to tell the whereabouts of the girl, but when informed that he was liable to be locked up on the charge of abduction he melted and consented to take the officers to the room where the girl was found dressed in a dirty, loose Mother Hubbard, not expecting to see anybody. She went with the officers readily to police headquarters, about noon, where, n. 1 1 i nrit), har 1.

Atchison Globe: Leavenworth brought all her political, military and social influ ence to bear to secure the Soldiers' home, and did considerable crowing over her prixe. Now we are told that the people of that village are about sick of their possession. It seems that the old vets loaf around the streets, and do so much boasting that it has become a bore and a nuisance.

Leavenworth should realize that the bitter and the sweet are strangely mingled in this world. An Imbecile Boy. There is un imbecile colored boy In North Mr. L. T.

Smith returned from the east yesterday and was seen by the Staxdakd this morning. He was asked what he had done while east toward beginning work on his enterprise, the Leavenworth, Northern Southern railroad. Said he: "1 am ready, as soon as the city secures the right of way through the city to the penitentiary, to commence work. When I say 'begin work' I do not mean work on paper, but work with the shovel; The city has guaranteed us the right of way from the penitentiary north through town and they have only to commence to get it when I will start the road south from the pen." "How long should it take the city to se cure this right of way "If they will start Immediately and do not have to condein land or go through any legal proceedings, fifteen days should be sufficient." "In other words, that road can be started in fifteen days if proper action is taken "Yes sir. All now depends on the action of the city." "Where will your line run into the city?" Here Mr.

Smith referred the newspaper man to Major Vaughn, who took him to draughting table and produced an outline map of the city and railroad connections. "Our first idea was," said the engineer, "to run from the penitentiary past the Soldiers' home and then follow the Mis souri Pacific into the city along the river, but we have found a more available line and will turn northwest shortly after leav ing the Soldiers' home and come in along side of the Santa Fe branch into the depot. From the north junction with the Santa Fe another line will start northwest and will pass near the base ball park. A spur will be started north to connect with the Kansas Central and Rock Island. Tb will give us connection with all the roads running into the city.

The line south of the city has been located but the other has had only a preliminary survey." The map as shown the reporter will place more track in the city by a hundred per cent, than we have at present. The aggregate length will probably reach six or seven miles in the city. Although tl: new line, as compared with the old, is mile longer, the engineer thinks that great saving will be affected by the new route- Mr. Smith was asked what he thought of the survey the Wyandotte road is inak ing into the city. He said he could trU nothing about it.

He knew nothing of Mr. Anthony plans or motives. He said he had a line located south and would soon have the right of way and was iroing to bmlu tne Leaven worth road. Mr. Suiilli did not believe the story that the cradinji had oeen let on the vandotte road to Tongauoxie.

In fact, he believed that the assertion that the road would built to the latter place by October, to an impossibility. be be Said lie "I am now prepared to build my road as soon as the city will commence to get me the right of way. I will start south from the pen as soon as a disposition is shown to net that nirlit." "What benefits willaccruefrom this road to the city "That question I am not prepared answer in detail. I will say. however that there are benefits which will come that no one now dreams of outside of a few who know.

Leavenworth needs, and must have, this road. It reaches a territory that cannot now be touched by Leavenworth merchants." The Union Depot. The conversation then turned to the union depot. In answer to a question as to how soon the depot would be started Mr. Smith showed the lollowmg tele eranis.

the first written by himself to Syl T. Smith, and the latter the reply from that gentleman: August 18. S. T. Smith, President Leavenworth UnUm De pot Omaha, JVett: What day can you be here? It is time the grading and masonary of depot was let.

Very important. Early day as possible. L. T. SMITH.

Denver, Aug. 18, L. T. Smith, L-mrenwirrth: Your message of the 18ih received. Will ar range to be in Leavenworth early next week.

Leave here for Omaha to-night. 8. T. SMITH. "The contracts," said Mr.

Smith, "will be let as soon has Mr. Smith arrives and work will be commenced immediately They would have been let sooner had it not been for my absence. This makes certain that the new depot will be under way in a week or ten days. The bids for excavating are ail in aud it only remains to open and let them." 'What kind of an edifice will the new buildins be?" "The depot will occupy the lots south of tne eatiin cfc Knox inula anu nortn Cherokee street. The building proper will be two hundred and six feet long, fifty feet wide at the widest place and three stories high on Water street.

The main entrance will be on Delaware and Main streets with the ticket office and waiting rooms on the Delaware street floor. A stairway will lead passengers to the floor below, which will be level with the tracks. The baggage and express rooms, together with the tele graph office will be on this floor." The plans for the depot were here shown antt tney exhibit a nanosonie structure. The building over Delaware street is three stones high with an ornamental front and a large arched entrance. A retaining wall is to be built along the edge of Delaware street and a roadway left between the depot and the Catlin building.

Twenty-five reet will also be left bacK ot tnat building, The cost of the structure will be about one hundred thousand dollars and it is to be of pressed brick witli white stone trim mings. The plans for the building are now oeinc completed in cnicasto ana be here in a week. The ground plans are nere. In speaking of the depot Mr. Smith said that thcMissouri Pacific had not yet come into the depot company.but he thought they would as soon as tne depot was under way 'In fact," said he, "they cannot afford to stay out." lie said that Mr.

lioxie was in favor of the depot but he did not think Mr. Gould was, the latter thinking the old one stood enoueh. Mr. smith said he did not think Mr. Hoxie would ever again take the management of the Missouri Pacific.

He had seen hiin while east and he was a pret ty sick man. ins neaitn was tearfully shattered. To sum up Mr. Smith's remarks, they would indicate that all the city had to do is to seenre tne rignt ot way as airreed and we will have a new railroad started in a month and pushed to a rapid completion. The gentleman continually reiterated tiie statement that he meant exactly what he said.

The new depot will be commenced in two weeks at the fartherest and with the public building under way three im portant changes are started and other booms will surely follow. An Interview with Gen Hazen. The weather will probably be hotter for the next few weeks than it has been. Gen. W.

B. Hazen, chief signal officer for the United States, was iu the city yes terday, and was the guest, for a few hours. of mine cheersome host, J. Kreybill, at the Planters. The people of Leavenworth hare always treated Mr.

Kreybill with the utmost courtesy and respect, aud were glad when he assumed the responsibilities of catering to his legion of old friends of the traveling public, at the Planters; but they did not thinkthat within the first month, he would fire Hazen at ns right at the most critical period of the summer. It will be remem bered that Gen. Hazen has sole charge of the weather of the United States, and it will also be remembered that for the last month and a half, with one little shower intervening, we have had awfully dry and hot weather, the past few days being almost unbearable. Gen. Hazen, if any mortal man is responsible, is responsible for all this.and Kreybill to pick upon such a time to bring such a man to Leavenworth is something that will bear the closest scrutiny.

The general had not been long in the city before a Siasdihd reporter knew of it and bided his time until after his official duties had been concluded at the signal station, where everything was found in ap ple pie order under the management of Signal Officer Welch. Then the reporter visited the manager of the weather. The general was found in the office of the Planters looking over a copy of theSTAjro- ARD. He was seated in a rocking chair and behind him on the floor was a gray plug hat. The general was dressed in a plain suit of steel gray, had glasses on his nose, wore a heavy black and gray moustache waxed and a large goatee, below his under lip.

When the Standard man introduced himself, the General looked up from his paper and gave his visitor a cordial wel come. There was no attempt at dignity or offishness. The General was within the province of the storm period predicted by our local prophets, and that maybe bad The cloven foot of Mayor Neely was never show more conspicuously than in las.t evening's 8T.VXDARU. It has been apparent to all who knew of his aiding the Missouri Pauifin railroad to keep off the construction oi a new uuion depot as well as those ho know of his opvraiious with that company on the North Ksplanade. that he is owned body and soul by that company, but it was hardly believed that he would make the StiSDiBD help him to dereat the Leavenworth, Northern and Southern railroad.

The above is from the Time of this morning. Mayor Xeely has nothing to say about the policy of the- Standard. He owns a little stock in the company, but he does not nor never has controlled it in any way, shape or manner. All this talk about Xeely controlling this paper is malicious and false. As far as Mr.

Len T. Smith's road is concerned, we will say that the Sianuakd did more to get the aid voted than any other agency in Leavenworth. If we have a reputation for any one thing it is for helping Leavenworth enterprises at all times. Yesterday we printed the proposition voted upon by the people of of this county, giving $90,000 toward the construct ion of the Leavenworth, Northern dc Southern, 620 0.K) of which was to be given for "riht of way." It was not until after the paper went to press that we heard of the guarantee given to Mr. Smith by six citizens iu Jude Stillings' office.

Our only idea is to give everything relating to the subject to the public and so print the following extract from an article dated October 31, 1S85: KF.IfiRT OF THE -OMMITTFK. Iteport of the committee bo were appointed by the citizens meeting held at the board of trade rooms ou the day of li-5. The undersigned committee appointed by the meeting held at the lioard of trade rooms, on the th day of October. 1 submits the following report: The committee all met and by invita-ion of the committee Mr. Smith, who had made his proiHisitiun to the meeting to make the raiiniuds provided for in his oiler to the meeting, was present.

The committee were met with the fact that Mr. Smita had made his proposition to the city of Leavenworth and not to the county, aud Mr. Smith exx-cted that if tbe city adopted his proiMjsiiioa lie would still set aid iu addition to the aaiouut given by the city, by township aid in the county, and that be could not get Biit-h township aid if the county should extend the instead of the city The committee on fuil investigation agreed him that the amount to be asked, for each end of the road should be if given by the county instead of ii.no if giveu by the city. The glit of way between the places indicated we estimated at as some definite amount had to be voted on. The committee fmuiW hfc-tffo lean: it tlut fijurt, and that any dtfeiency could lit hi ruff up the cil Ltarcnicorth if the zliotii i lie iilttfirieitt.

The which the committee have agreed to recoir. mend for submission we have caused to be published and copies to be made for the signature of tat pajcrs of the county. This is the only way iu which the matter can be brought before the nmy board which will call for any aetioa on their pu-t, and when two-liftlis of the residr-u. tax payers of the county sign these petitions tiie law makes it the duty of the county board to submit the proposition to a vote. We have bought it best to submit the proposition to the county aud not to the city.

For awhile he did a good business tint his joint finally became so tough that it was not safe for anyone to go there.

One cold morning last wiuter, the sun arose to hnd the occupants missing. It was generally known afterwards that Leavitt wen', to Sioux City, Iowa, with his wife and started a variety tiieatie there, aud the latest news of Leavllt makes him a murderer fleeing for his life. About two weeks or ten days ago a minister named Haddock who bail been preaching prohibition strongly in and about Sioux City was murdered mysteriously near Greenville It is now positively known that Harry Leavitt, was one of four men who followed Haddock to Greenville on the faial and who was seen in the vicinity of where tlje crime was committed a few minutes prior to the shooting and killing of Haddock. Leavitt has left Sioux City, but the local authorities, it is learned by telegraph, are certain of catching him. A Candidate for Lansinar.

A Nervy Convict's Attempt.

A states prison official stated to a repre sentative this morning that any amount of schemes for escape were constantly being conjured up by the eight hundred and odd convicts under the charge of arden Smith behind the castellated wails of the Kansas penitentiary. A great deal of caution and watchfulness had to be exercised in keep-ini; Bucii a lare IkhIv of criminals in or derly submission. There have been several conspiracies for escape among the coal shaft gangs, anu a rumor once got outside the walls that a concerted revolt would be attempted. This was Ix-fore Warden Smith's time, however, and the plan was squelched by the prompt action of the prison otlicials, who were made aware of the trouble brewing by the confessions of one of thp'rhmleadcrs. During the administration of Warden Jones a miner was missed one evening at roll call after all the others hai come out of the pit.

A pretty effectual search was made for the missing man ithin the waiis above ground with out a trace of the prisoner being discovered. Tiie hunt was then )er8ecuted in the mine. The case that is used for bringing up the coal during the day aud the men at ight. was lowered slowly and a sharp I'tokoiit along the sides of the shaft was kerit un. When within about 15 feet of the bottom they caught signt of their man.

who bail beard them coming ana was making efforts to reach the air shaft. He was at once taken to the tMirfaee and an eye kept on him ever afterwards. it seems the man had hid. len himself in one of tbe traileries uul.l i' ege with its last load had iroru ui. Then, by means of beams five feet apart that run horizontally up the sides ot the shaft to the top.

A Rood carrier will make a good business man. It seems to us that the campaign might be opened in Leavenworth on me oi September. A meeting at night after the congressional convention would not be out of place. The Nemaha fair will commence at Seneca 11 ami continue for four days. This is one of the best counties in the state and we hope this annual meeting of the farmers will be a success.

Thk Democratic State Executive committee wet In this city last evening and talked over the campaign. Gentlemen who were present from various sections of the state report the party united and harmonious. Thk Standard is increasing its list every day throughout Kansas. The Deni-cratic postmasters ail say that it is the leading Democratic paper of the west, and Ihey are getting up large clubs in even the smallest places. Dkl Valentine has changed his paper, the Clay Centre Ttm, into a daily.

It is a bright, handsome evening paper and we hope Clay Centre has enterprise enough to make it pay, as it will be of gremfc benefit to the town. Wi reprint the railroad proposition today for the benefit of the public. Let very taxpayer read it carefully and locate the conditions under which the aid was voted, and see upon whom the work of getting the right of way devolves. Tub city should have all the bad sidewalks repaired before winter comes. There is no good reason why a property owner should not be made to keep his walk In order.

It does not cost much and it improves the general appearance of a town. Tub congressional nominations so far are all good ones, and the men nominated by the Democrats will make aggressive campaigns. We may not win this year but It looks as though a very big vote will be polled. Let as have a complete, thorough, perfect organization in every county. We suggest to Col.

Moonlight that in bis opening speech he pay some attention to the tariff, lie believes in revenue reform and we hope he will make that one of the issues of the campaign. The Democratic party cannot afford to straddle that question and we hope Moonlight will sound the key note. Kiev. MiTcnKLL is doing away and we are sorry. Ileis very radical in his religious views, but personally he is a roost pleasant and agreeable young gentleman, lie has also the faculty of making himself heard.

When he talks people listen and a great many go away abusing him, as a writer in the Standard does to-day. In an interview to-day Mr. Len. T. Smith says that he is ready to go on with his work when the city obtains for him tbe right of way to the penitentiary.

We hope that something will be done immediately. We have had confidence in Mr. Smith's project from its inception and trust that he will have nothing in the future to embarrass him. Let dirt fly. The council last night passed a resolution asking the Missouri Pacific for the plans it has for the protection of the North Esplanade.

This is right. We have no question about everything being in proper shape, but the council should know it. It wag not a matter for the board of trade to Investigate, but it is for the mayor and council. Tbe council acted very sensibly last evening. There (has been a great noise about this North Esplanade matter, but it has done no good.

Mr. Richards' resolution will settle the whole controversy. The Missouri Pacific will exhibit its plans and the people will be informed. There is always away to quietly settle these things without disgraceful abuse. The verdict of the Chicago jury will have one good effect in addition to getting rid of the leaders of a dangerous gang.

It will stop the immigration to this country of anarchists and confine the manufacture of dynamite bombs to foreign countries. In the United States we move slowly in matters of this kind but we do our work exceedidgly well. Mr. Smith's interview In the Standard last night created a sensation. The people are anxious to have this road built and they eagerly grab at every item of news relating to it A meeting is to be held in the board of trade rooms to-morrow night and some understanding will be be reached.

If we are going to have this road It Is time for dirt to fly. Tux nomination of Gov. Chas. Robinson in Funston's district is a good one. The Standard has no Idea what the result of the election will be, but there ought to be no question.

Gov. Robinson is one of the ablest and truest men in Kansas, and is as much ahead of Funston In every qualification for a congressman as Judge Martin is head of Tom Ryan. The Atchison mystery still remains unsolved. We hope it will be cleared up. The local authorities should not rest until the culprit has been discovered.

If the prohibitionists did it themselves let us know it, bnt if the antis were guilty the people are equally anxious to be informed. With two or three rewards flying in the air some smart detective should make a stake. Ml Birchfikld, who was nominated for state treasurer by the Democratic convention, has declined the honor, and the duty devolves upon the central committee of filling the vacancy. There are hundreds of good Democrats in Kansas who will accept and we hope a judicious selection will be made from among the number. The statement that C.

C. Burnes has resigned his position as treasurer of the state central committee is true as far as it goes, but the resignation was not accepted. Mr. Will Smith, of the Leavenworth national bank has been designated as acting treasurer, and we presume will discharge the duties of the office during the campaign.

To the Standard. Leavenworth of to-day is a city which any man may be proud to claim as his home. As a health resort it stands in the front rank. The location choeen for the city is one of the best in the Missouri Yal-ley, and as a manufacturing city it is second to none of the same size. The Leavenworth coal shaft, is the best managed and oneiof tbe best arranged in the coun try.

"The Great Western Stove Works," and the "Great Western Manufacturing Company" are models of completeness and their work is the best of its class. The "Missouri Valley Bridge Works" is now doing work all over tne western states. "The Union Stove Works" command a large patronage. Two better flour mills, than those of Rush Sprague. and Kelly Lysle, cannot be found.

The elevator of Snyder Denton is doing a very large business. When we add Abernathy's fur niture factory, three corn meal mills, boiler works, cooperage and several wagon and carriage factories, besides other industries. Leavenworth has not only more factories than any other city of her size, but she has a better home manufacturing business than Kansas City. Any man who will visit adjoining cities, and make himself acquainted with them, and then say that Leavenworth is not in a better posi on oath We have more rich ead tereX and mor iKi K.t tion than her neishlors, could not be be- men. more sat isfied class of workingmeD than other cities of the same size.

We have churches to suit all tastes and creeds, and excellent schools. There is no better place in which to bring up a family. There is not a better place to locate. You cannot invest in any kind of business, and give it ordinary attention, without making money. I know of some people who talk and preach against the city.

My observation leads me to believe' these said people are like the man's little dog, their bark is worse than their bite, they will run behind aud make a noise, but you could not induce them to take the chances of a bite, such people are to be found in every city, so that Leavenworth in this respect is only like her neighbors. You have roses without thorns, nor sunshine without shadow. I am not to say that Leavenworth is the heaven we are seeking after, nor am 1 certain that Christ himself would be accepted into full membership with some of our g'uxly, goody, people, but this much I am certain of, if every man would tell the trntli about the city, and attend to his own business, improve his home, make his wife and children happy, the city would step on to future greatness faster and with less friction; there is work and a place in this city for every man except the grumblers. E. Jamksox.

Leavenworth Anathematized. To the Standard. Having tailed to do any "mighty work" in this city the liev. Mitchell lets his angry passions rise and on Sunday evening, Aug. 14th, poured out the vials of his wrath upon the city and its hell-destined inhabitants.

But one Godly uinn in all the city is exempted from the operation of its three columns of sweeping dennnciation, to-wit: The proprietor of the morning paper, which bit of worldly craft not only secured the publication of the sermon as an electioneering document against Xeely, but yielded a bountiful harvest of elobbering eulogy in return. It remains to be seen how the people of Leavenworth will receive this tirade of slander upon their character and morals as a community. So far as heard from, but one sentiment isexpressed, that of diseust for the sermon and contempt for the man who would allow his spleen and fanaticism to shipwreck tiie better prompting of judgment and reason. As a "fisher of men" the Kev. Mitchell has proven himself a ridiculous failure.

Fish cannot be clubbed or stoned into biting a baitless hook, and no more can "sinners" be blackguarded to "repentance." The people of Leavenworth are no more "a great festering sore" than are the peo ple of Kansas City, St. Joseph or any other city. They are a part of humanity and human beings are pretty much the same wherever you find them. The trouble is, the theological dogmas of the past are fading away and no longer bind the consciences of men. Our ancestors believed that Sunday was a day for prayer, torture, gloom for the contem plation of hell, heaven, God, devil, sin, sorrow, theology, total depravity and ever lasting punishment.

But science and rea son teaches that life is given to us by na ture for the pursuit of happiness, and be cause people are learning to think for themselves is no good reason why they should be called bad names by this minis terial Pharisee. Abuse as an element of moral reform is as great a failure as force, coercion or pro seriptive laws. Let the boys play ball on Sundnv all they want to it will do them good. There is room lor us all to be nappy each in bis own way and upon his own plan. Those of us who are in the "sere aud yellow leaf" of life can testify that there is little enough happiness to be had at best, without tiie supply being further dimiuished by such narrow minded bigots as the liev.

Mitchell. embrace at random by tne mere ac cident of birth-place i one of the one thous and narrow and local religions or earth and make it a hobby, and declare it and its peculiar svstem of morals true and all others false, is not a very flattering evi dence of mental breadth and comprehen siveness, but the youthful Mitchell has an undoubted right to do it. And so he has tbe undisputed right to make an ass of himself and denounce his neighbors for not having been cast in the same mould that he was run in. However, it is ouite probable that Leav- enwortn win manage somenow to survive this evangelical broadside. As a parting benediction, upon taking leave tor pastures new and green, it is a bold departure from the accustomed order oi minus, nut like God's man Guiteau he felt tiiat he had a duty to perform, and like God's man Guiteau he fearlessly performed it.

As a sample ot pulpit manni-r and gospel method to place up on file along with the broad. Christian charity, the grand, peaceful and enobling utterances, the sweet and and lofty sentiments of brotherhood ex firessed by tbe Jieverends lialdwin and liggins in their farewell sermons, the contrast is painful to contemplate. rillLICAX.

Elwood Sharp, a very worthy young man, who is the son of Mr. Isaac Sharp. We think he has made a mistake. Judge Martin's repu tation in Kansas is that of an honest, con scientious Democrat who, fortunately or unfortunately, differs with many other Democrats as to the position to be taken by the party on the prohibition law, but the reception given to him when he made his speech in the Leavenworth convention shows the hold he has on the organization Judge Martin, if elected, would make a splendid cong and Mr. Sharp, who is deputy United States collector, ought not to have bolted his nomination.

The result will be to provoke a bad feeling in the district and injure every candidate on the state and local tickets. It is to be hoped that wiser counsels will prevail and Mr. Sharp and the Guard will hasten to the support of not only Col. Moonlight, bnt Jmlue Martin. The Standard favors good will, good feeling, and harmony in the party in every section ot the state.

Then he pro ceeded to scare the fishermen and other raaritine people nearly out of their wits once by predicting great loss of property, and did cause the suspension of fishing for a time, but his storm did not come anl he lost prestige." "How many stations have you now in working order "There are about four hundred." "Does the service pay for the amount of money expended by the government "Yes, ten times over in the saving of life and property. We do not predict storms. locate them when they start, and by wire give warning of the directum they are going, we simply make a record or tnem when they start and notify the remainder of the country what may lie expected.

We can do this in such a way that it is of great Deneht." 'How long will you be absent from asningion "I expect to be gone about two I will go to California before I return." "There has been some talk about remov- ing the signal station from Leavenworth to Kansas City. Is that influence still at work "Oh yes. That is on all the time. We have requests by the score to move the sta tion to Kansas City. "Will it be done?" "Kansas City is a city of sufficient im portance to have a station and I think it will get one.

It is not clear yet whether the Leavenworth station will be removed there or another one established." "Our people would very much dislike to have the station removed from here," said the reporter. "What is your population?" asked the general. "About 36,000." "And Kansas City?" "About 70,000." "Then, you see an argument in favor of Kansas city, let, i think now, since we have talked about the matter, that 1 will iiave a new station established there aud will not remove the Leavenworth station. Kansas City has more business that requires a station than Leavenworth and must have one." The General then made a number of in quiries about the population of Topeka, Atchison, Fort Scott, Emporia and other places, and made kind inquiries about Sen ators ingans ana l'lumo and Messrs. nan back, Morrill and others.

He also posted himself with regard to the extent of the drouth west of the eastern tier of counties and praised the western system of railroads: hoped for good weather on his journey to the Pacific coast, and bade the reporter a genteel good night without saying a word about raising the boycott on the present dry spell. The General left on the 9:36 Missouri Pacific express for Omaha. A Little Blaze and a Dog Killed Last night about ten o'clock the fire de partment was called to the corner of Pottawatomie and Fifth streets to put out a small blaze in J. A. Conblett's second hand store.

Miss Conblett had closed the store and was going from that into another room, when a coal oil lamp she had in her hand fell to the floor and exploded, setting fire to a couple of mattresses, a couple of quilts and two blankets, all of which were nearly consumed oerore tne nre was put out. The loss was about 10. Whiie the firemen were going to the fire the hose carriage ran over and killed a fine white thoroughbred bull terrier bitch that belonged to the department, causing the boys to feel very bad. They gave her a funeral tiiis morning, laying her by the side of old Dick, who was butied about a year ago. Unite Bergman officiated at the funeral and all the boys attended.

LEAVENWORTH. What the Papers Have to Say as to Our Treatment of Them. Medicine Lodge Index. We have this good word to say for Leav worth as a place for holding Democratic conventions: Its people, without regard to party, enter wholesouled into the work of making their guests comfortable; its hotels and halls are commodious; prices for board are reasonable, and the guest at once feeis that he is in the hands of his friends. are for Leavenworth for all future Democratic conventions.

Well Done. Paola Spirit. Leavenworth entertained the Democratic state convention royally. The reoeption committee, hotel proprietors, city and county officials seemed to vie with each other in acts of courtesy and kindness to the visitors. Mayor rseely, who has doubly earned the reputation of being one of the princely and most liberal entertainers in Kansas, spared neither time nor expense to vouchsafe the comfort and convenience of the delegates and guests.

Senator Lowe was also oue oi the leading men in neartny welcoming everytxxty. lie is one or the grandest old Democrats in the state. County Clerk Neihaus, Postmaster Lynch, John ilannon, Ed. Carroll, T. P.

Fenlon and many others neglinited no effort to sus tain the eood name of Leavenworth as the hospitable metropolis of Kansas. I he hotels made very reasonable charges and even the hackmen for once at least in their career, were truly courteous to all and uni- formally fair on rates.

W. F. Evans, the great head light of mental therapeutics, in his latest work, "Esoteric Christianity," says: -As sickness and health are opposite and contradictory states and cannot both be predicted of a man at the same time, if we can cause him to perceive and feel that he is not sick, he must feel that be is well, for one must be true. have all read many times the story of certain medical students making a man in health sick by causing him to think and believe that he is sick. In the phrenophatic method of cure we simply reverse this process, and make the man well by inducing him to think himself well; not that we would deny the fact of the disease as a state of his consciousness, but simply that th immortal ego, the spiritual entity and real man, is neither diseased nor unhapnv.
