Kansas is a young state. Her lands are rich, her resources unlimited, her railway system unexcelled. But, thus her wealth is all digged out of the ground. Millions of dollars are sent cast from Kansas every year to buy agricultural implements, boots- and shoes, fabrics of all, kinds and thousands of other articles. For the manufacture of these goods and wares, Kansas can furnish the raw materials.

The problem in Kansas is to bring the agricultural and manufacturing producer and consumer together. It is to beat the inter-state commerce law by abolishing, as far as possible, all transportation charges. Take the milling business, for example. Probably four-fifths, certainly three-fourths of the immense wheat crop of Kansas is shipped eastward to be manufactured into flour. Not a single bushel of wheat ought to be shipped out of the state; it should all be sent to the markets of the world in the form of Kansas flour.

Last Fridav between 12 and 1 o'clock man by the name of Heed stired una row with Mr. Armbuster in his billiard hall finally shooting at him and then chasing him around the room threatening his life. Marshal Heinzman's attention was attracted by the noise and went immediately to Mr.

Armbuster's rescue. By -the time he arrived on the scene Heed had started out of the building by the back way. The marshal then started to follow him and make the arrest when he was caught and held by a fl-icnd of Heed's and at tho same time Reed was making threats and defying Hie oilicer to attempt to arrest him. As soon, a however, as Heinzman could release himselt he started after his man when Heed tired at. him, By this time quite a crowd had gathered and was in pursuit and the excitement was becoming intense.

The marshal and Heed exs- changed several shots but no one was hit, the marshal having only a small and very poor revolver, but-Reed, however, had a Colts 44 calibre, but fortunately for him he hit no one. During the chase some one gave Heina- man a shot gun loaded with fours and sixes, a load of which was emptied iuto Heed, but only a few of the shot took effect, which still did not have the effect to cause him to surrender but all the time he was tiring at the marshal and the crowd and endeavoring to hide behind cars, trucks, coal houses and any other build- ingthat wouldfurnish him a shelter. Finally after having been hit iu the arm and face, and a Winchester held upon him he held up his hands and was taken and locked up. At his preliminary trial ho was bound over for his appearance at the next term of the district -court and bail fixed at $1,500 in default of which he was taken last Monday to the Kingman. Greensburg Republican.

The first bale of cotton of the season was received at the Cotton Exchange in Houston, Texas, July (5th. Ths bale weighed 594 pounds and was consigned to T. W. House by Mrs M. Hausmann, of Meycrsyille, De Witt County.

Thk Southern Kansas is noAV running regular trains to Iliggins, in the Panhandle of Texas, having opened the line (120 miles) last Monday from Kiowa. The opening up of this new exteution is an important achievement on the part of the Santa Fe. The principal business to be handled is stock. The following from an exchange should be a warning to all delinquent subscribers: "Tell me ye angelic host ye messenger of love, shall swindled printers here below have no redrb'-s above?" The angels flapped their wings and said: To you a hope is given delinquents od a printer's book can never enter heaven." The American Coursing club have their bills up for the season of 1887.

The bridge hands are following them closely, and the track i3.now laid to Hutchinson and they are coming this way fast; so we will souii be connected by rail with the' country lying northeast of us. Grecnsburg Republican.

The farmer of Kansas has great reason to rejoice over his corn fields, and even his very moderate crop of hay, for Illinois and Wisconsin are suffering from drouth of great length. Through a large portion of the states the pastures look as if scorched by fire; grain is light, meadows very short, and cprn, while widely planted, is scarcely. two feet high, much of it half that.heighth. "I never saw such a fine prospcet for a crop of corn in my life," is a common remark among farmers in this valley. The dry weather prevailing in the early spring was favorable for getting in the crop, and there iu nearly a perfect "stand." An increased acerage has been planted to corn, and with a fcv showers through July, will insure an un precedent crop of corn for t)ii Arkansas Valley.

Ealge. J. JL Lewis, one of Groensburg's, enterprising hardware merchants, made this office a pleasant call yesterday, 3Ir. Lewis was on his way to the southwest part of the county, where he had just sold a Wheeler and ah Eclipse wind mill. These mills are recommended by those who have used them and anyone desiring a good, cheap wind mill would do well to give Mr.

Lewis a call. Wm. Byerly, road overseer for district No. 1, Martin Township, has had a large force of electors working out their poll tax on the road leading southwest of this city this week. The roads have been sadly neglected but we may now look for better roads as Mr Byerly, is a "rustler" and will have everybody do his part which is the only right way to dispose of this matter in justice to all concerned.

Jos. Havens has again become an owner of the Red Front Barn and stock, having purchased Alfred Collins intrcst therein last Saturday.

Information reaches us from one of the directors of the P. W. railroad that in all probability Mullinville will be made the winter terminus of the above named road. The grade stakes have been set between this city and Greensburg, graders set to work, and the line re-surveyed to the west line of the county four and one-half miles west of this city where trains will be run (occassionally) to secure the remaining $65,000 in bonds on the county; but the termini will be at Mullinville, as the road, it is said, is in no particular hurry to intersect with the Santa Fe at Dodge City, and it is probable that bonds will be asked by this road in Ford county this fall. The Wichita Western having consolidated with the Kingman, Pratt "Western fOr traffic purposes the Greensburg Republican says: "The importance of this action of these two roads to us is apparent to all, and will result in much good to our thriving city.

All the buildings of the company at Cullison, in the way of round house and tool house, and the turn table, will be moved here in a short time, which will make us not only the terminus but the end of a division: Our future was never brighter than at present, and in a short time our population will reach away up in the thousands." From the above the citizens of Mullinville and vicinity may form some idea of the advantages to be derived in the event of Mullinville securing the terminus, and as it is as good as secured we may as well prepare for a glorious razzoop this fall. But won't Mullinville boom, though! Mullinville's First Road. The "Santa Fe" will be ihe first road to reach this city as it is already built, to and as there is 115.000 of a prize in bonds to be secured they will keep the Rock Island engines in Wichita a little while longer, thus keeping that company from constructing their road through this county from Pratt Center, where they have a large amount of material and thus the Santa Fe will gain time and have their line completed first through the county. The Topeka Capital has the following to say in regard to the bonds voted' in this county, which explains itself: "Attorney General Bradford has been called upon to give an opinion relative to the legality of the bonds voted by Kiowa county to the Santa Fe and Rock Island. A few months ago the county voted $115,000 to the Santa Fe.

and $120,000 to the Rock Island, the election taking place on the same day. It now turns out that the total amount voted was more than the maximum allowed by law. The question is which road is entitled to the bonds." The Court House Question. undeistand a petition has been presented to the honorable board of county commissioners asking that a proposition be submitted to the electors for the construction of a suitable court house in Greensburg. There is a great difference of opinion as to what ort of house shall be built, some want a building costing about while others are in favor of building house at a e'e-st of not less than $20,000.

A court house of some sort is needed, bnt as Greensburg promised to erect av building suitable to-, transact all ccunty business therein; for a term ofifive years we only voice the sentiments of a majority of tho people of this part of the county when we say that it would be useless to ask bonds for the erection of ''a court house at present. Should Grciens-burg see fit to fulfill, her contract by( donating about $5,000 proposition to vote $5,000 or i $10,000 might meet with the approval of a majority of the citizens and the bonds be voted.
