Fruit Jars at Pryor's, Weaver's old stand, More Lead City Improvements, We were shown on Monday last a piece of fine lead ore, weighing about five pounds, picked out of the dirt, taken out of the street at the grade north of the Wiggins' House. Wp were also handed about two pounds of ore in small pieces, picked up out of the gutter nt the foot of Military street, near the T. W. Hall, of the Livery stable east of Banoist's store, showed us some very fine specimens taken out of a cistern he had commenced digging for his firm on Neosho street, between Neosho and Military. The excitement is increasing, and every thing indicates a heavy trade during the coming season.

New companies and prospectors are everywhere digging and boring. The Messrs. Vaughn Bros, obtained from the city at their last meeting permission to com mence mining on Murray street. We referred a few weeks ago to copper being discovered east of us, and are now prepared to confirm our former statement. If we should attempt to keep the people posted in regard to every new lode that is being opened and operated, we would have space for other mat ter.

The consequence is, we can only give brief sketches of what is taking place, so that our readers can form a general idea of what we are doing. The changed effect this lead business is having upon our business men and particularly the merehnnte, is apparent everywhere. New goods are coming in every day. Money is getting easy, and business is looming up in every department of trade. New business houses are going up every where, dwellings are springing up all over the city, and people looli cheerful and pleasant.

The brick work on the Episcopal Church will be commenced next, week. This, when completed, will be one of the most beautiful buildings in the southern part of the State. The Baptist congregation have their church enclosed and are now laying the floor willbe able to occupy it lor Divine service in a lew weeks. The tf res-byterian church is now completed, except the cupalo and bell, that they must have, and then they can boast one of the neatest church buildings to be seen anywhere. The ladies of the Methodist church held a festival last week to raise money to purchase bell for their, new church.

Our churches are assuming city airs. Everything in the Drug line can be had at Pryor's, Weaver's old stand. Decoration Day. Editors Sentinel I had the pleasure of attending the decoration of the last resting place of our departed soldiers and it was a pleasant and, I think, a profitable hour spent. The speeeches were excellent almost sublime.

They breathed the right spirit, and caused the heart to expand and beafwith feelings of true patriotism. The order was completer-rthere was no jarring or dis cordant sound to disturb the harmony of the pleasing scene. Quite a multitude were in attendance, and vast numbers of people seem ed imbued with the same spirit all intent on the same There seemed to be a una- of feeling all participating in the same patriotio pride, while following in im agination the speaker, while portraying the progress of science and the arts, and our re lation to them as a people. Cold and callous must that heart be that did not swell with -honest, patriotio pride and thankfulness that our lot was cast in pleas, ant plaoes that the United States of Amer ica is our native or adopted country. And every citizen, whether native or adopted, has ad eqnal interest in the welfare and glory of our common country.

The meeting of such a mixed multitude in such a place is well calculated to cause reciprocal feeling. Hene we behold perfect equal ity. This is sacred ground; beneath our feet lay the last remains of many of our creatures here are many of our soldiers who died for thoir eountry in the strife of mortal combat and we convened on that day to give some tokens of respeot to the memory of our oitizon soldiers, by strewing flower on their graves. And while we aro forward to pay this small token of respect to the departed, lot us remember we have the living among us we have not only the widows and orphans of our own soldiers, but we have another class of soldiers who cannot, or do not, participate in our Bad joy. For them we ought to feel the warmest and most kindly feelings, and whenever they give evidence of their return to their allegianoe, roceive them with loving kindness as the father did his spendthrift-, prodigal son in the parable.

Fourth of July, What say our citizens to having a celebra tion on the Fourth of July We have one of the finest places in the Southwest for this purpose, comprising beautiful groves, and an abundance of clear, sparkling water. If do- sirous of consulting economy, the celebration could take the form of a basket pio-nic, thus affording a pleasant holiday for the children, and we opine, would draw a large crowd from the surrounding country.

large Wheat Such of our readers as are not inclined to give our county due credit for its wheat capacity, are referred to the following extract from the last number of the Colum bus Mr. Daniel Fuller, living about five miles northwest of our city, on Cherry creek, has left at our office a small bundle of wheat; that for length, stalk and fullnoss of heads, will beat anything in Southern KansaB. Its height is five feet, the length of head 3 inches, full, well developed, and still growing. It was taken from a field of twelve acres, as an average, on last Tuesday morning. If there is a farmer in Cherokee county who can beat it, we would like to see the sample.

The wheat was put in on the 23d and 24th days of September last, with a drill, and is surely an indication of what early sowing will accomplish, as well as determining that grain-should be drilled, and no sown.

The performers were ''greeted kindly" by having a full house to hear them, and all present seemed to enjoy looking at the antiquated dress of the singers, Calling to mind the good old days of our grandmothers, but, ah! me, even then, it seems they had the gay gallant the bewitching belle.

HalloweU, Committee then retired. Dr. J. D. Clarke, President of the St.

Louis and Kansas Southern Railway, was called upon to make his statement he did so, in the following remarks "I suppose that you know about as much about this matter as I do about the issue of the Bonds. When the Company was formed, I was elected President. In January last, Dr. Robinson took the Bonds to St. Louis, and was offered 65 cents cash for them.

The Cashier of the Bank in St. Louis telegraphed to the Cherokee County Bank in this city, and they replied, by telegraph, that the Bonds were illegally issued and worthless. The Bank, through its officers, then refused to take the I then entered into contract with Mr. Hackett to build the Road. I gave an obligation for $2,000, to pay for the surveying $20,000 of the were given as security for the $2,000.

Mr. James F. Hardin, of St. Louis, was appointed Trustee, and $100,000 of the were placed in his hands. These are the that are advertised as being for sale in St.

Louis. The contractor, Mr. Hackett, was restrained from doing the work on the Road by the City Council, or by the City Jarshal, acting under orders from the Council. I have written to Mr. Hardin in regard to the sale of the He replied that Mr.

Hackett wanted his money, I asked Mr. Mayor of this city, to have the Council send him (Mr. to SLLouis, and stop the sale of the Bonds. I have not made any money out of this thing, nor has any member of the Company have not tried to swindle the township or the city will have to pay the myself. Dr.

Clarke also said that he had never had the bonds in his possession. Mr. Hardin has $100,000 of them $20,000 are held as security for 2,000, and I suppose that the other $30,000 can be accounted for. Question by Col. Hallowell: Did not the $30,000 go to the attorneys for getting the bonds signed Answer by Dr.

Clarke I think they aid. Question by Mr. Jlornor: Did the County Commissioners get any of the bonds? Answer by JJr. Clarke I tlunk they did net. The Committoo on Resolutions then re ported: Whereas, Railroad Bonds of the city of Baxter Springs and Township have been illegally issued to "St.

Louis Kansas Southern Railway Company" and that Whereas, All lionds ot our city and Town ship are the property of the people and not of individuals, and that no individual or individuals have any Tight to farm them out, or otherwise dispose of them without the public knowledge, and it having been reported that one hundred thousand dollars of such are advertised to be sold at public sale in the city of St. Louis, Mo. Therefore be it Resolved, That we the citizens of Baxter Springs at this, a public meeting, would respectfully ask the President of said Railway Co. to make explanation of what haB been done with said Bonds, how it happens that a portion of them are to be sold, and in whose hands the balance, or $30,000, now are. Resolved, That these Bonds were, in our judgment, illegally obtained, and are of no torce and ettect, yet at the same time, their public sale in St.

Louis at a low rate, would tend to injure our credit as a community, therefore be it further Resolved, That the President and his asso ciates, of said Railway Company, are hereby requested to at once prevent the sale of said or any part ot them, and to turn them over to the county commissioners at an early day, that they may be destroyed. Resolved, that the city council have not in our judgment acted wisely in sending our Mayor to St. Louis at the expense of the city, and that Mayor Boyd is not justified in en joining said sale of Bonds at the expense of the city but simply to publicly proclaim their illegality; and, that we do not feel disposed to defray any expense attending these Bonds on their sale.
