Lastly but not Umstly one i-oud by Miss Cox, entitled "Sunshine and Shadow ot a teachers Lie." Tho citizens of Concordia showod shoir interest in tho cause of education by attending tho instituto daily und filling the house to tho utmost capacity. Tho success of tho Institute was in a considerable measure duo to the ablo and oiliciont aid rendorod by Supt. Mitchell and Seubury, and tho competent corps ol teachers which accompanied them from thoir respective counties, together with the ability added in the person of Prol.

Resolved, That wo inequivocally favor tl enactment of a law which shall compel tho education of all children ot proper ago and ability in our Mate, and wo condemn in un measured terms thoso members of tho Kansas Legislature ol 1872, who disregarded tho numerous wish ol tho teachers of Kansas, expressed through the Judicial District Instituto of 1871, for tho enactment of such a law. Resolved, That all teachers expect recognition as worthy members of our grout fralernit.i should improve every opportunity to attend county, district and Mate lusti utes. Resolved, That a unilorm series ol text books is much needed and tho want thereof severely lolt by tho profession. Resolved, That every teacher should supply hiuisci' witn ono or moro educational journals, and we recommend our own Kansas Ivluca tional Journal as ono which no Kan sas teachoi should be without.

During last week aoonplo of Texas cattle drovers namod John Koho and James Buckmastor were airosted in town for disrurbing the peace, and fiuod by Police Justice McDonald a small sum. Becoming enraged at thus having thoir 'rights' trampled upon, they determined to lay in wait for anybody that might como along. They had stopped sev eral people, but little notice was taken of it until a wagon load of our citizens were corralled.

Tho party consisted of Messrs. E. J. Jenkins. H.

A. Huntor, C. W. McDonald and V. A.

Brown, who wero on their way to Glasco to attend a political meeting. Whon they had proceodod about seven milos, they were halted by these men, who drew their revolvers and bowie knives on tho party, and made sundry threats, and re fused to let them pass. The arrival of another party scared thoso high waymen and they fled. A posse was raised and Keho and Buckmaster arrosted, brought to town and Keho put on trial bofore Justice Sturgos. After a full and impartial hearing, tho jury brought in a vordiet of guilt'.

Tho sympathetic Justico fined tho prisoner $100 and costs. Not bavng the wherewith to pay for tho fun, a portion of the fine was remitted, and tho Justico and an attorney went the prisoner's security tbey taking a poor pony to reimburse them. Tho culprit was then turned loose, and is probably again roady to stop people and flourish revolvers and knives in their faces. Buckmaster was fined a trivial sum, and will soon be nt liberty. Tho whole trial was a farce on law or justice, and is so cousiJerod by all order loving citizens.

It is just such proceedings as this that compel people to take the law into their own hands. We have given the facts as we learnod them from good authority, and have written this at tho suggestion or 'dictation of no ono.

Tho proposition to vote 8125,000 to the J. Ft.

K. road, which is to be voted on on next Tuesday, will unquestionably fail, as we think it ought to. That company asks tho county to give them almost all tho law allows it to givo. If tho propo sition were successful it would leave but little for any railrcad, and would moreover give that company a mo nopoly of the valloy, and place us in tho power of the K. road.

Let us, then, givo that proposition the "go by," and lot tho Republican and Solomon valleys "clasp bauds across the bloody" divido, and thus so-cure a railroad for each valley.
