On the golden streets we're gliding With our God and Savior dear; All their glories In us shining. Brighter than the solar sphere. Now we feel the crystal river Flowing through each raptured soul; Jesus' love that lasts forever While the ceaseless ages roll. "Come, ye Blessed ol my Father, All the realms of glory view; Ye are In the heavenly kingdom Wearing crowns prepared for you." Sing we now with saints and angels; At His throne In gladness fall; We are in Love's boundless ocean; God the Father's all-in-all.

It. Elliott are plaintiffs and the Manhattan Stove and Foundry company and the Manhattan Foundry company are defendants. The suit involves the title to two acres across the Kansas river, in the town-site of Fairmont, upon which the Stove Foundry plaut is located; and because of the circumstances surrounding' the location of this plant, the case is one in which all our citizens are more or less interested. In the early part of iss), the plaintiffs donated to the defendants a certai 1 met of land in their town site of Fairmont, upon which to construct and operate a stove foundry plant of such size and character as would furnish general employment to at least eighty men. It was made a chief consideration of the deed which transferred said real estate that "the building erected on the lands hereby conveyed shall be occupied and used as a foundry and for the manufacture of stoves and other articles of iron and brass for the period ending July 1st, 1891; and iu case said conditions are uot carried out by the second party, their heirs, legal representatives, or assigns, then this deed shall become null and void, and all right, titleand interest of, in and to said premises shall revert to the party of the first part, their heirs or assigns." The plaintiffs allege that the operating and use of said stove foundry plant for the purposes named in said deed has been abandoned, that the defendant has wholly neglected and refused to comply with the conditions named in said deed, whereupon the plaintiffs ask judgment and decree, foreclosure of contract, and sale of real estate as stated in the petition.

It is claimed that by virtue of the condition, in the deed of transfer, the plaintiffs' claim becomes a first mortgage upon Die property in question, and hence takes precedence of all other claims. What adds to the complications in the case is the fact, that the property is involved in the Former treasury defalcation, the bondsmen claim ing his equity in the plant. This is the beginning of litigation about matters, and the end of which no one can now foretell, and the progress of this case will be watched with great interovt. Kimble, of this city, and D. of Topeka, are attorneys for the plaintiffs.

Republic. Xainfil for DuviH. Hon. Geo. W.

Knapp, a former resident of this place, vyritiug to Postmaster Henderson, of Junction City, regarding the proposed change of name of Geary county, says Clyde, Feb. lith, I understand that there is a bill introduced in our present legislature to change the name of Geary county back to Davis. I think if the present members of the legislature knew the facts about the nam ing of Davis county, they would unanimously defeat it. The following are the facts: My father with his family of nine children moved on Christmas day, 1854, to where Pawnee was afterwards built in Davis county, and on July 2,. 1855, the first territorial legislature was convened by Governor Itcedcr.

They were only in session a few days when the cholera broke out and they hastily adjourned to Shawnee Mission school in Johnson county. That legislature was unanimously pro-slavery with the exception of S. D. Houston, of our district, who we think resigned soon after they adjourned to the mission. Pawnee meanwhile developed into a strong free state town, and to get rid of this eyesore to the proslavery party, Jeff Davis influenced he president to include that townsite in the military reservation, which was done, and in honor of his acts iu that case and numerous others iu favor of the proslavery party, that legislature named the present county of Geary, Davis, which can be found on page 72, Wilder's annals.

This proves conclusively that Davis county was named after Jeff Davis, and I think it is the plain duty of every old soldier and lover cf our nation to see that this bill is defeated. Geo. W. Kxapp. WON BY AMERICANS.
