The Manufacturing Co. have just filled their first kiln of new brick, and at the rate they are now shipping, one to three cars a day, they will need them by the time they can be burned; but they say the supply must be kept up, and the Co. will do it, if within the bounds of human possibility.

DEMANDS OF THE CITY. Now that our newly elected Council have assumed their dress of office, we feel at liberty to make ajew suggestions. The wisdom of them is left for the Council to determine. There is much more in a proper beginning and still more in keeping right. If we wish our city to pre? sent an attractive appearance it will require some expenditures of money.

The question comes in this shape how can we enhance the comfort and beauty of our city with the least out lay of money First impressions are difficult to eradiate, and so with the view a stranger first gets of our place. If our streets are unimproved, our sidewalks sadly neglected and crossings deficient, a visitor is not slow to detect a want of thrift and enterprise. We have the elements of a substantial place as any in the State, and if we fritter away what is given us, we will, as we should, suffer the folly of our negligence. We need sidewalks but the status of our treasury admonishes us that we can not now adopt the stone walks the alternate of board sidewalks' is then presented, and an ordinance requiring board walks to be put down along the premises of all who have not some convenience of this kind already should be passed. In the course of time, as our facilities increase and our embarrassments grow less, we can have the stone walks with little burden to all.

Another thing that will add to the appearance as well as the comfort of the place is the planting of shade trees along the streets. While we would like to see sueh'an ordinance passed, we will not urge it so strongly as the former proposition. With a little attention to this, it could be made a forest city in the midst of the prairie. We want retrenchment and reform and at the same time a judicious expenditure for the real demands of the place. Let all the citizens work for the growth and prosperity of the place, for the interest of 'every citizen is inseparably linked with the "-development and increase of his own town.

If it languishes under an improper administration of its finan cial matters, so must the monetary in terests of us all. However, we may differ on some ioints that may be essential, how much we may disagree on certain great moral questions, yet there should be such a compromise effected as will insure our rapid growth, and ever keep in view the central idea of the prosperity aud building up of the city. Plus. DEBATING SOCIETY. Osage Citv, April 10, 1874.

Campbell, Pres't. The people are always aexioua to have their mail matter, go straight through to its destination. In order to have this it is necessary that postmasters and route agents should know the county. Hence the necesi-ty for the author to write the county on whatever is sent through the mail, and care should be taken to write plainly and intelligibly. is very difficult sometimes to read addresses on letters, and in some instance it proves a failure.

If persons would be more careful in directing their mailmatter, there would not be so much fault-finding about the delivery of the mail. Yours respectfully, F. G. Gkhtith, route agent-Other papers please copy. Our readers will notice a change rn the firm which is now publishing the Gazette.

John P. Church gives place to Church and Morgan. Mr. Morgan is also proprietor of the Shapt, published at Osage City. Mr.

Church will attend to the editorial and business departments of the Gazette and Mr. Morgan to the typographical. The latter has a large and varied stock of material for job printing, indeed there is no better outside of the principal cities in the state, and orders left at the Gazette office will receive prompt attention.

The mill building has been very much improved by a new roof and siding preparatory for a cheese factory. Propositions have, been made to hnilrl a dam and water grist mill, a much need- sutmprovement. Death Still continues hie end tvnrt- infant child fif T. J. Bemir.liamn Vli Ad on election dav also.

Mr. Can Frances losf! one two morvths old Saturday getting up wen in tne morning, it died before noon with croup. Mrs. Sydney Smith, at mouth of Frog creek, died Saturday night, after an illness of weeks, leaving four children, one an infant. We a very spirited election the candidates for trustee had been out canvassing for the office Jesse Lewis, ex-register of deeds, J.

B. Douty and M. R. Stewart. It had been the intention of many to bring out George Briner, very much against ids will and he ivould only consent to serve, if elected, simply as a duty imposed upon him even making the statement i publicly to that effect but it was insisted upon him.

Messrs. Donty and Steward became very much incensed at running a man who did not ask for it, witLdrew in favor of Lewis and worked hard for him, then the work began. The result was, that out of a vote of 174, Briner received 119: Lewis, 53; Briner's majority, GG. George Francis elected treasurer; Ed. Judd, clerk; C.

udd and John King, constables. We have set a good example by taking up good, worthy men and not opposed to office-seekers. We hope for straight assessment and proper charge for work. Wheat in the: bottoms look well; uplands, from none at all to good prospects for a medium crop; many, putting in oats yet. The country is entirely stripped of feed, not one in twenty having hay or other feed for stock.

Stock is looking bad, very few having any grain. One man near town having corn and so many wanting it, that he finally put it up at auction, in five- bushel Hs, on time without interest, if paid when due. The day brought somts thirty men. When the bidding "began, the corn sold for from $1.25 to 1.60 per bushel. How is that for high It would take pretty sharp railroad manufactorihg febank corporating to neat tnat.

Raining again this Monday mornin we ieel like the old woman who wished it would rain nights and Sundays so the hired men could rest. The Methodists -have broke ground for a parsonage and have some lumber on the ground. Rev: Baldwin is stationed here for this year. The Baptists are taking steps to buy a house at Lyndon and move it to town. Rev.

W. Friend, Xr. John K. Ilunsinkcr and Miss Clara Page. NTI-MONOPOLY Is the the title of a very handsome Grange picture that has just come under our obeservat'ion, which truthfully represents the present condition of the farmer and monopoly.

There are many figures represented, and among the number we notice the farmers who have come to market with their grain, and find that instead of receiving a good price for the same, they are compelled to give speculators four bushels in order get one to market. The artist has been wonderfully successful in representing this idea. We notice the elegant depots and elevators, together with the royal trains of the railroad monopolist, and in the distance the magnificent home of the magnate, while on the other side is the farmer's home, showing, in its condition, that the monopoly leave him no remunerative return for his labor. There are wonderful and truthful ideas delineated in this valuable and interesting work of art, and we predict its sale to be immense. We understand that it is to be sold only by subscription through regular agents.

Messrs. W- W. Bostwiek Kos. 177 and 179 West Fourth Street, Cincinnati, are the publishers, and any communication addressed to them, for circular and terms, will receive prompt attention. We commend this engraving to thv public and hope some good energetic person will secure the agency in this section.

Court is still in session at Burlingame and quite a number of our citizens have been obliged to court, more or less, during the past two weeks, whether they wanted to or not. Considerable activity has existed in the corn trade during the past few days, and farmers who are fortunate enough to have any for sale are making a good thing with-it at 60 to 75 cts.

A few houses are going up in several directions, some two or three good business houses are talked of, and we hope something more than talk will be done. For all kinds of dried fruits, figs, oranges, fresh horse radish, call on Ilerriott Mott. They keep the best stock of crackers in town, always fresh and cheap. The farmers go there because they pay. cash for butter, eggs, hides, and other country produce.

30 We observe triers are quite a number of strangers stopping off the trains here lately, and some with whom we have conversed, think this is the liveliest and most business-like place they have seen in their travels in Kansas. Of course they are right, as in and around our town, engaged in coal mining, brick making and quarrying, enough men and boys are employed to start another city of the third class. Cold, disagreeable weather has been the rule thus far this spring, keeping the grass back, much to the disadvantage of cattle dealers, who are compelled to feed more' or less high-priced corn to get their herds through. Although one-half the the spiing months have passed, few spring days nave shown themselves, and we presume winter will drop suddenly into the lap of summer instead of spring, before we know it. All parties indebted to the firm of Faugusi Craig (whose store was lately destroyed by fire) are kindly requested to call and settle their accounts at their earliest convenience.

We wish to start in business again, but to enable us to da so will require prompt payment from all indebted on old account. The books of the firm are at the market of Duncan Craig, where settlements can be made. Faugust Craig. The most careless observer passing down Market street, on Monday observed the smilling and gracious facial expression of E. W.

Hanslip as he abstracted from a big white box on his counter, the effervescing liquid that displayed the aggregation of innumerable bubbles which overflowed the cup, yet never fill-e 1 it. Das is goot was the universal ejaculation. In short the aforementioned personage opened his soda fountain on that day and gave free drinks to all who called. The man who deserves to be tarred and feathered is he who plows up the streets and roads to "scour" his plow. We hope our new council will look to this matter promptly as this is the season when those who own plows and have neglected to protect them from rust, are again too lazy to scour them by hand, and are sure to impose on the public.

They have no right to plow up and furrow the streets or public roads, but are sure to do it just where the street is in the best condition for teams or footman. Our new "city dads" have assumed the reins. They promise to reign not supreme but mild and peacefull, rain or shine, though violators of law and scoffers at justice must expect the punishment due the offense. We have a very orderly and law-abiding population, none more so in any city in the State. We want it kept so.

Everybody wants it kept bo, and firm, judicious and economical administration of the affairs of the city will induce the class of citizens we want sober, industrious, energetic, and men with capital to locate among us and assist in developing our rich mineral wealth.
