sumed by fire in Junction City last week.
The Sons of Veterans have com
pleted a temporary organization in
Stockton.
Mh. Tilton has introduced a hill
(authorizjng cities of the third class to
contract for electric lights.
$r. Wilson, of Wallace, seems
to be unhappy since Mr. Carroll, of
Leavenworth, bluffed him in such short
order.
Two more forestry station peti
tions arrived in the house from south
western Kansas on Tuesday, and were
presented by Hon. Mr. Myton.
The charter of the Building and

at Topeka last week. The authorized
capital is 500,000, in shares of 8100 each.

S. Tilton received on Tues
day a lengthy petition from Collyer,
praying for the municipal suffrage of
women. He presented it Wednesday
forenoon.
The erection of a Congregational
church at Wallace will bo commenced
immediately if -the weather permits, upon
.three lots donated by H. A. Clark for the
purpose.
We are sure that the petition
from Wa-Keeney, praying for the munici
pal suffrage of women, is one of the best
representative documents of the many of
-this class which have been presented.
'The admission of Mr. Shetterly,
jf Walloce county, undor Mr. Carroll's
substitute, was a positive refusal on the
part of the house to recognize the validity
of the organization of Wallaoo county.
A well-signed forestry-station
petition has been received from Ellis
county. It waB presented iu the house
"by Hon. Mr. Kirkman, who, by the way,
is a perfect gentleman in his deportment.
Hon. Lewis Hanback will engage

upon his retirement from office. He has
. entered into partnership with Es-Coun ty
Attorney Saxey, of that place.
The bill for the municipal suff
rage of women has passed the Kansas
senate. The house will perhaps not take
it up this week. There is hardly a doubt
that this body will pass 'it without much
effort
Mr. Tilton introduced in the
house on Monday a bill to provide for
the payment of costs incurred in criminal
cases in the counties of Gove, St. John
and Wallace, attached to Trego county
."for judicial purposes.

Eastern Kansans admire western

The temperance "bill is made the
special order for consideration in the
jhouse next Tuesday, aj; 2:30, p.m. It is
-very lengthy too much so for us to be
able even Jo Hint at its provisions in this
article. We aim to have the bill in the
iands of many of our readers by the time
th World is issued. We will not be
able to get enough copies of the bill to
ehd to any considerable number of our
readers, but let neighbor "show them to

1 St John county people are
anxious to organize their county. Hon.
Iff. 6. Tilton received, by express, from
$1 iSTcOakley. last Monday, a petition contain-
ing; 4Uo names or voters or tne county,
- .reguesting the governor to appoint a
oeoiae taker. The errand was performed
in 'haste. The governor expressed a desire
to await tor -a few days tne action or tne
legislature concerning changes in the
? juaemt? law governing the organisation
jof'pwuatiefcv t . - : 5
SOME CHANGES. ,
There has been considerable racket in
the legislature this week over the attempt
to improve the present law concerning
the organization of counties. On Tues
day, after a protracted scuffle, the house,
in committee of the whole, recommended
for passage the senate bill on the subject.
We do not know yet whether the house
passed the bill. This bill provides that
all the sections of the present law from
fourteen to fifteen, inclusive, and section
seventeen, relative to the location of
county seats, shall be made applicable iu
the case of tho location of the county seat
in any county which is about to be or
ganized. It does not provide that the
census taker must not be a resident of the
county, or that he must not have any
financial interest therein. This bill pro
vides that in any unorganized couuty
where an election, a3 a preliminary step
to organization, is pending, the election
shall be postponed for thirty days. Mr.
Tilton denounced this feature on the floor
of the house. He would also like to see
the census taker appointed from territory
entirely outside the county, in order that
nothing would stand in the way of an ab
solutely honest registration of the vpters
of the county.
Mr. Taylor, of Reno, has introduced a
bill in the house which includes this lat
ter feature, and is preferable in many re
spects to the senate bill. This bill may
be considered yet.
THE GO COUNTY.
To people in the east who are hunting
new homes:
You want to locate near a good rail
road, do you not? The Union- Pacific
(Kansas- division) fills the bill.""" It" runs
through Trego county.
You want to settle among an intelli
gent people, do you not? The people of
Trego cuunty fill the bill.
Of course, you want the benefit of good
schools. Trego county has them.
Tho soil is good.
The climate is as favorable as any in
the great, growing, central state of
Kansas.
Lands are cheap compared with the
prices which will soon obtain.
Now is the time to come.
It is understood that a feature of
the railroad legislation this winter will be
the reduction of the maximum of railroad
aid by counties or townships to two
thousand dollars per mile. The naked
proposition to prevent the voting of aid
to railroads received the support of only
two members of the railroad committee
of the house. Such a bill could not have
been carried if it had been reported fa
vorably by the committee. Tho feeling
seems to be general that the maximum of
aid should be cut down as low as pos
sible without keeping railroad companies
from making propositions for aid.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A Woman Killed at Rush Center.
Hess City Times, 27.
Shortly after noon on Tuesday occurred
at Rush Center the first serious accident
on this division of the C. K. & W. rail
road, resulting in the sudden death of
Mrs. Hutt, of Rush Center. The west
bound train, due from Great Bend at one
p'clock, was thirty minutes behind time.
JMrs. Hutt, the mother-in-law of the pro
prietor of a restaurant at that place,
whose name is not ascertained at this
time, had been assisting at the restaurant
and returning home approached the track
from the south, some two blocks east of
the depot. Evidently misapprehending
the tigh rate of speed with whicb the
train was moving, the unfortunate lady
endeavored to cross the track, losing her
life in the attempt. Seeing her close at
hand, the engineer blew the whistle and
reversed tho engine, but too late to be of
any use. The engine struck the woman
at a high rate of speed, and, caught upon
the cow-catcher she was hurled, a distance
of 25 feet meeting instant death. The
train was instantly stopped and gentle
hands lifted the injured lady, applying
restoratives to resucitate lifer All at
tempts, however, proved futile. Sirs.
Hutt was well along in? years and highly
esteemed in Rush Center. No blame
seems to be attached to the railroad com
pany, all precaution having-been used.
While Ed. Chalk was breaking a hole
in the ice, last Sunday for the baptising
ceremonies, -he had the misfortune to
fall through.

A -SHOOTING APFBAY.
y
Capt. P. W. Hey, of Farnsworth,
Shot by Jacob Carroll
Dighton Journal, 27.
Last Sunday evening occurred the first
shooting affray of Lane county, and
which took place at Fam3worth. There
are many reports afloat concerning the
shooting, and we give particulars as we
learn them. It seems that Jacob Carroll
has been paying his attentions to the
daughter of Mr. Hey, who strongly op
posed his danghter keeping Carroll's com
pany. On the evening mentioned Mr.
Hey went in search of his daughter, and
being informed that sho was in the store
of Samuel Carroll, a brother .of Jacob, he
went there but was refused admittance.
He said he wanted his daughter to go
home, but was told he could not have her.
Hey then broke in the door and went in.
Carroll then opened fire on him, the shots
taking effect in .five places. One shot
passed through one of his hands, another
striking in the palm of the other hand
and passing up the arm, one taking ef
fect in in the right shoulder and two
slight wounds in the abdomen. None
are considered fatal wounds. We cannot
learn positively that Mr. Hey made any
threats or attempted to return the fire, or
that he was even armed. It has been re
ported that he did, and again denied.
Carroll claims to have acted in self de
fence, and made no attempt to escape.
At the time of the shooting there were in
the store Miss Hey, Carroll and his sister-in-law.
Monday, Sheriff Smith and a
deputy brought Carroll to Dighton, and
on Tuesday morning the prisoner was
brought before Squire Hines, and gave
bail in the sum of $500 to appear on Feb
ruary 4 for preliminary trial.
We hear there was considerable talk of
lynching Monday night, by parties about
town, but better judgment prevailed.
Military Reservations to be Sold.
Dodge City Times.
The secretary of the interior has di
rected the commissioner of the general
land office to survey and plat, prepara
tory to appraisment and sale, all of the
lands embraced in the several abandoned
military reservations which have been
turned over to the custody of the interior
department under the provisions of the
act of June 5, 1884. The 'order directs
that 'as each reservation is surveyed and
platted, it shall be at once so reported to
the department, so that the appraisers
may be appointed and the lands offered
for sale at as early a day as possible. It
is stated that these reservations cover an
area of about 700,000 acres, and includes
some of the choicest agricultural lands
in several states and territories in which
they are located. Forts Dodge and Wal
lace, Kansas, are embraced in this order.
Over fifty reservations are included in the
list. Twelve hundred acres of land re
mains in the Fort Dodge military reser
vation. Excitement in Texas.
Great excitement has been caused in
tho vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the re
markable recovery of. Mr. J. E. Corley,
who was so helpless he could not turn in
bed, or raise his head; everybody said he
was dying of Consumption. A trial bot
tle of Dr. King's New Discovery was sent
him. Finding relief, he bought a large bot
tle and a box of Dr. King's New Life Pills;
by the time he had taken two boxes of
Pills and two bottles of the Discovery, he
was well and had gained in flesh thirty
six pounds. Trial bottles of this Great
Discovery for Consumption free at Dr.
Jones's drug store. 2
