Tub Spanish Chamber of Deputies is discussing a bill for the leasing of the tobacco monopoly. column in the Champion of last wook to prove that it would be a paying invest ment for the people of Norton county to vote tho 8140,000 in bonds to the Fort Smith, Kunsas and Northwest road. The theory for voting bonds can be, and is made to figure out all right, but the practice is not worth a cent. If some of those follows who claim that it will be such a paying investment for the people to vote railroad bonds will come over to Lenora or Edmond and convince the taxpayers that they made money by voting bonds to the Central Branch road, and that they are not just the amount they pay in railroad tax out of pocket, perhaps they can catch a few votes for their railroad scheme. If thore.is so much money to the people, in voting bonds for railroads, why are companies so anxious to lot them share in the profits.

Why don't thoy build the road independ ent of the people and save them the a mount they pay in taxos, for farmers in counties and townships where they do vote bonds, got no bettor freight or any cheaper passenger rates than where thoy do not vote bonds. Again the Champion gives figures to prpve that to vote 8140,000 in bonds would not increase the farmers tax oue iota. Now wo would like to know if it takes a profit of ten per cent for the merchants of Norton county to pay their expenses and make a comfortable living, how it is, if by some increase, it should take ton cer cent more to pay their running expenses, that the farmers do not have it to pay. A GAMBLiiR comes along and opens up cn the streets and tells you there is a cnance lor some one to make money (but he always fail to say he is the one) if you will invest your money with him. After they get all the money, in the crowd he packs up and loaves and never comes imeir.

to tell yon why it is you never made anything out or liis scheme. That is exactly the way with railroads. They send their strikers out to talk tho matter up, to tell how much money it will be'in the fanners pocket to vote bonds, but after the bonds are voted they never como around and tell you why it is that you do not mako anything out of it, but leave you to mortgage your farm or let it bo sold to pay taxes, and go into the hands of a corporation composed of men wh made their money out of this same road that you voted bonds to build. In other words you give these fellows so much every year by voting bonds with which to buy your own farm. Will Gkant went to Topeka on Sun day and returned on Tuesday night, He brought in his pocket a full and free pardon for P.

11. Conarty, who has boon confined in the mil at Norton on the charge of assault and battery. The Gov ernor read the petition carefully and is sued a pardon at once. Will says the logis lature looks like a clever lot of fellows and are capable of doing much good work. He is of the opinion, however, that but littlo will be done in the shape of rail road legislation the present winter, and is no doubt correct in thinking so, aB the speaker of the house is from Mcrherson county where several railroads aro cen tering.

Sovoralbond propositions are al ready before the people and the county is reaching for all they can got. The committee on railroads is arranged, no doubt, on the same plan and railroad legislation will be pigeon holod. Loaan Freeman. About two weeks ago Dave Beed, who had been driving stage for the O. K.

barn between this place and Grainfield for nearly a mouth, was entrusted with package of currency amounting to $1000 by the Bank of Hoxie, to deliver to par ties in Grainfield. Instead of delivering the money as requested, he kept it and on his roturn to Oberlin a few days later, proceeded to lay himself out for a grand. round up. To those who expressed snr prise at his having so much wealth, he said that he received it from his folks and thus managed to skip for parts un known before the bank discovered its loss.

The county seat war will open up soon, as a petition from the requisite number of voters, for the re-location of the county seat, at Hill City has been filed with the commissioners and it is to be hoped this will settle the vexed question forever. The boud solicitor for the Missouri Pacific railroad, has been here and only asks for the modest sum of $1,700 per township through which tho road runs. Voting local aid to railway companies is one of the most stupendous swindles of the age. The time will come when the people will very sensibly set down on all such unreasonable demands. Railroad building is like all other private enterprises, and are never started or ex tended until the prospectors can see money in it, or unless they occupy a cer tain territory some other road will do so, and thus cut them off.

Therefore bond voting by the people is wholly unneces sary, and asking for and accepting euch by the railroad companies is simply heiver y. Sckiftor. Obituary. Died, Elizabeth Pugh, wife of Amos Pugh, at her home ill Toledo township. Tama county, Iowa, on tho second day of January, 187, aged about thirty years.

She was the daughter of John Stebbins and a grand daughter of Ezra Bailey Her father enlisted as a soldier in Com pany C. Tenth Iowa, in the year 1861, and was the first one of the company who fell a victim to the enemy's guns. Elizaboth was left in caro of her grand parents, who reared her respectably and wero very tender and kind to hor. It can be truly said, Lizzie was we'll brought up. In her seventeenth year she was joined in marriage to Mr.

Amos Pugh, who was a kind husband to her. Indeed, her ami able disposition and kindness to him had a just claim upon his affections which she doubtless had. Their married li which was about fourteen years, was a happy one. Lizzio had many fcienls, being sociable and kind among her neighbors. Her mother, who is now Mrs.

Johnston, living in the state of Massachusetts, was notified of her death by telegram, and arrived only in time to look upon and kiss the lips of her daughter, whom sho dearlv loved, now cold in death. Two sons, ten and twelve years old respective ly, are loft in, a cold world, bereft of a kind mother. May they shun vice and grow up to be respectable men. Her corpse was woll preserved until the 7th inst, awaiting the arrival of her mother, when her funoral was preached at the house to a number of sympathizing neighbors and friends, after which she was buried in the Toledo cometery. Peace to her ashes.

S. W. K. Toledo (Iowa) Chronicle. Tub business man who fails to learn the art of fresh, original, liberal constant advertising can never understand why John Wanamaker is known all over the United States, why every body goes to Barnum's show, why we all use Pears' soap and Royal baking powder and rising Sun stove polish and St.

Jacob's oil. Neither can lie appreciate why his competitor's store next door is full of people while his own is empty. He probably thinks it is the stupid people's fault, when in fact they go their because they know what they can get, they read it in the newspaper and it saves time. A business house that keeps its claims before the people at all times and all seasons, makes a place for itsyelf that nothing else can do for it. It becomes fixed and trusted and patronized.

Any business man who has never made a study of the science of securing custom by advertising would be amazed at the possible results. As a proof of this he hss only to look over the history of the rich enterprises of this country. It does not depend upon the times nor the season nor locality, but upon the constant and persistent presentation to the traders and buyers of a location and the fresh attractions to be found there. Topeka Capital. John Richardson, who lives on Bow creek below Houston, informs ua that a Mrs.

Ellis, who lives some four miles down the creek from Houston, dropped dead Wednesday evening about eight o'clock. She leaves a husband and two or three children, the youngest about three weeks old, to mourn her' loss. Edmond Timet, EvEitY bill introduced in the legislature bo fur at Topeka, with a view ot benefiting tho people hasboen knocked out of time on the first round. The bill prohibiting voting bonds for railroads and oue making the lawful rate of 'ten per cent, wore both killed in the room. A gentleman of I'hillipsburg, Bays we have always beat Norton county in enterprise, and we propose "to beat her out of this railroad.

Norton Courier. We hope from the bottom of our heart she will. Phillips county is perfectly welcome to all the glory she can get out of pauperising herself to injure Norton county. J. P.

Pcmerot has 45,000 acres of deed, ed land in the northwest and paid over $1,200 taxes in Graham county alono tho other day, and still he claims that a great deal of his land is not taxable. He must be counting on some of the land he has a mortgage on, not being redeemed. If he is, he is figuring not in vain, if tho people of the northwest continue to vote bonds for every one horse railroad that proposes to build through the country. Ik the vicinity of Vicent many farmers are fencing their lands, and instead of using woodeu posts, utilize the hard rock found in that locality for the purpose. James Ruth is now engaged in the work of completely fencing in his quarter seotion with three wires, attaching them to hard rock posts nine inches square and about four and a half feet in hight, making a most effective, neat and desireable barrior for stock.

Onborn Farmer. To show that railroad companies do not consider the amount of bonds voted any more than a gift from the amount asked for does not depend upon the cost of building tho road, they want $1 50,000 from Phillips in case they build through tha county, or 5140,000 if they build through this, just as though it cost more to build through Phillips than Norton. But that is not the idea. Phillips county is more able to give than this, consequently they ask more. John N.

Reynolds, in the Atchison I)aily Times, says tho 'Atchison Live Stock Insurance Company, of which he is president, has not bursted, but is doing a better business now than ever. If this be true we would like to know how it is that State Insurance Commissioner, Dick Morris, has written to a party acting as agent for that company in this place, say ing that he had cancelled their charter. If this company is still doing business, and doing a straight business, why don't it pay its losses. We know a man who lost a horse that was insured in this company, and at last yesterday, tho man had received nothing, and has but little hopes of ever receiving's cent and we will wager a ten cent Havana that he never gets a cent. C.

H. Van Wick was defeated for re- election to the United States Senate from on last Friday by Hon. A. S. Pad, dock, a straight republican.

On joint ballot Paddock received 94 votes; Mc-Shane, democrat, 32: Van Wy ck 4. When men are elected to an office with the un derstanding that they shall do, or not do a certain thing, and then turn in and do just the reverse, as did the members of-the legislature from there is some thing rotten JJonmarK, and some powerful argument used, that some poor people had it they could pay their rents, grocery bills etc. But so long as people of any state elect any man to the legislature, who pin "for sale" on their back on arriving at the State capitol such things will always occur, especially when there is a fight made on railroads, or monopolies of any kind. The inter-state commerce bill passed the house last Friday by a vote of 219 to 41. Every member from this state voted for the bill.

It applies to any common carrier who is engaged in carrying pass- engers or freight either by rail or water, and makes it unlawful for them to charge one person more', than another. The most important part of this bill, at any rate the part that will be lived up to the olosest, is the provision appointing three commissioners at a salary of $7,500 each with power to appoint a secretary at a salary of $3,500 and as many helpers as he deems necessary. This thing of regulating freight charges can never be perfected, in our opinion, so long as rail roads are operated by individuals, for from our personal knowledge, that is we have been told so by one who was in a position to the Central Branch Jibs discriminated here in favor of certain parties, but the agent dared not give it away io long as he waa in their employe, PRACTICAL MILLEKS, LENOEA, KANSAS, Have bought the Lathrop Mill and will take posession February 1, 1887.
