Mr. tMrr. Editor af the

! the RaaatlBff.
in startling intelligence vu
flashed oyer the wires. Monday
nig ht, that Col. D. It. Anthony, ed
Itorof the Learen worth Daily
Times, end Postmaster of that city,
has been shot and fatally wounded
at the theatre there that erenlng, by
Mr. Embry, editor of the Leaven
worth Daily Appeal. The follow
ing Is the regular telegram sent out
by the associated press :
LzavcNWOTH, May 10. At aboat
-10 o'clock this eTeniosr Col. D. K.
Anthony, editor of the . Times and
Postmaster, and Win. Embry, editor
or tne Appeal, met on tne stairway
of the.Opera 1 loose, and the Colonel
asked Embry if he wished to see
him. Embry replied: "Just as yon
wish to see me, we will go down
stairs." The Colonel then stepped
op one step, and Embry said: ".No
vnn rinn't ahnnt m m In h ttneb-
and stepped no br bis side. An
thony then struct Embry on the lip
aaerere blow, when three shots
were fired by Embry, two of which
took effect in Anthony's breast, one
snpposed to be fatal. At the pres
ent time, 11 o'clock, there seems to
be no chance that the Colonel may
lire.
xue limes ltseir nas a long ac
count, charging that Embry has for
months vindictirly slandered Col.
Anthony, in regard to the postef
llce and alio in behalf of the print
era' union, which Anthony has op
posed. It says that Embry has
tried several times to pick a quarrel
with Anthony, to shoot him, and
that the latter has tried to avoid a
fight. That at the opera house Sat
urday evening when Anthony went
out between the acts, Embry met
him with a revolver, and indulged
In gross vituperation to which An
thony did not reply, but retreated
into a store. Monday evening he
again attended the theatre, and met
Embry, with the above described
result.
From the various sources, we be
lieve that the correct version of the
affair is about as follows :
Embry is a new settler in Leav
enworth, made his paper the anti
Anthony again, and published bitter
attacks on Anthony, aud appeared
to consider that his special mission
was to demolish the latter, even to
death. On the night in question,
Anthony went out of the theatre,
and over to a saloon, and as he was
coming up tho sl.ir. met Embry,
and asked the latter if ho wanted
anything of him. Embry replied
that they had better go down stairs,
meaning, no doubt, for a mutual
shooting affray there. Anthony re
fused, and passed up stairs. Embry
became apprehensive and cried out
"Dont shoot me in the back," and
whirled around to face Anthony,
who instantly struck him a severe
fist blow upon the mouth, gashing
his upper Hp badly. Embry in
stantly drew his revolver, and fired,
with the above described result.
Heretofore Embry has been but
little known. Col. D. It. An
thony has an extended reputation,
aud has always exercised a good
deal of Influence Kansas politics.
None can justify his being murder
ed, for murder it certainly is if he
dies, though we doubt if Embry
hangs for it, as he can plead having
been' assaulted first, and being
afraid of a man with a shooting re
cord like Anthony's. The occur
rsnce is most lamentable in every
point of view, and we hope the ef
fect upon the public mind will be
such as to bring shooting affrays in
to entire disrepute and stamp those
who wilfully engage In them as
desperados and murderers fit on
ly for the penitentiary and the gal
lows.
Col. .Anthony was reported to
have died Tuesday morning, but
was living Wednesday, and al
thongh his physicians said he could
not live, be said lie could and that
he was bound to get well. We
hope that his pluck will best death
and the doctors.
lsemaeratlc Policy.
The Missouri Democrats, true
to their record and true to
the policy of their party,
have elected as president of
their constitutional convention,
which convened a few days ago,
a man who was turned ont of the
United States Senate a fow
years ago because he was
a rebel. That is what the
country gets from the Democratic
party where it obtaius power. The
Democratic party has Bent some
eighty of these geotlemen to the
next Congress, and they are putting
tne old rebels in power whenever
and wherever they can. It is now
a serious question whether the peo
ple will turn the government over
to their control again. That they
are working every day and every
hour to get control there is not a
a particle of doubt. With the fearful
experience before us of their ad'
ministration of the affairs of the
country, do we want them at the
helm again.
A line of stages will be run from
Cheyenne to Uarney's Peak, in the
Black IIllls, as soon as tho govern
ment permits any immigration

the latter sectiou. Xow let every

by stage.

The outlook in the raining regions
of Pennsylvania and Ohio is not
encouraging. The operatives seem
determined to continue the strike,
and hence there is no immediate
prospect of its ending. The miners

do so. Murders and robberies are of
frequent occurrence, and the situs
tion is fast assuming an aspect of
defiance to law rather than of self
preservation against the oppression
of mine owners.

Senator Ingalls started for Wasing-

at the Capitol is to induce the Secre

tend the time of payment to the' Set

lauds in this state, which payments are
due in a few weeks. Many of the set
tlers are unable, because of the loss of
their crops and other misfortunes be
yond their control, to pay for their ti
tles unless tbe time allowed can be ex
tended. It is to be hoped that Senator
Ingalls will be successful in bis

Capt.'WIUiam C Barnes, former
ly of Lawrence, Kansas, now a resi
dent of the bcautl fol i and highly
cultivated Santar Clara Valley in
CaliZornia, wrote under date of
April 4th a letter to Mr. Theodore
Thatcher or Lawrence. Iu (he fol
lowing extract be compares the ad
vantages of Kansas with those of
California : ....
This country has iu exceptional
seasons and failures as well as other
countries. Let Kansas take cour
age ; there have been as signal fail
ures here as have yet occurred
there. True, they have never been
grasshoppered, and the chinch bug
is a stranger in the land, but they
hart? their myriad armies of squir
rels and birds, which frequently
ravage the crops of whole counties,
aud then their earthquakes. Who
wants to be shaken out of bed at
tbe dead of night, and stand for
hours ia hi night clotber, shaking
with the dreadful apprehension of
being swallowed up by the gaping
earth. It might suit a second ad
ventist, who is supposed to be al
ways ready to go to Heaven at a
moment's warning, but most people
are willing to defer the trip indefi
nitely. I think that in some respecia this
is ! more pleasant country io live
in I lan Kansas, but weighing nil
cod iderationa duly, I must candid
ly fcay that the . advantages of the
racinc slope over ivansas aro ro
small, that it will not pay one who
i eyen moderately well ilxed in the
latter, with favorable prospects be
fore him, to pull up and come here.
This is certainly no country lor a
poor laboring man. Chinese cheap
labor gives unskilled laborers a very
poor chance indeed. 1 have seen
more destitute tramps bunting
work and something to eat, during
my short 6tay here, than 1 ever saw
in Kansas in ten years' experience.
Skilled labor is in better demand,
and mechanics get good wages, but
work is not very abundant, and the
immense immigration of the pres
ent season, consisting as it -does
mainly of day laborers and mechau
ica, will not have a tendency to im
prove the situation.
Land in this valley is held at from
$150 to $200 per acre. All desira
ble real estate., in easy range of
market, is up beyond the range of
any except those with long purses,
and rents are cash in advance. My
advice is, therefore, to all who are
desirous of escaping the disappoint
ments of Kansas, to consider the
matter well. You sacrifice proper
ty and be at an expense and incon
venience of a jonrncy over the con
tinent, only to find yourselves in
worse circumstances at the outcome.
The Leavenworth Times publish
es the result of au interview with
a Mr. W. Abrahams, who has been
on a visit to various California cit
ies, which fully corroborates the
above. He says that although it is
not to be denied that this great
State is gifted in every possible
manner, and abounding in vast
mineral wealth,! t is painfully appar
ent that it is overcrowded with for-
tnne-seelcers of every description.
Hundreds and thousands of men are
lying around idle, willing aud anx
ious to work, and whenever a con
tract is to be let or a situation ad
vertised, scores rash and jump at
the chance to make even the scan
tiest Hying. There are more men
there than are needed, more than
can live, and poverty and rnin are
the inevitable result. .Everything
ia overdone, each branch of business
overcrowded, and although through
out the principal cities compara
tively few stores are found to be
vacant, a great reaction must as a
matter of course, come upon scores
of business men, and thousands will
be involved in financial ruin. Rents
are enormously high in San Fran
cisco, a common two-story frame
store-room, twenty-four by sixty
feet, bringing $400 per month.
There are many business houses go
ing np, but the majority of them are
two stories, wood, tbe tear ot earth
quakes preventing the erection of
higher ones. In regard to line resi
dences, t hero are not so many of
them as mav ne imagined, and tbey
are not, on the average, as elegant
or well appointed as those which
grace tbe streets and avenues , of
Leavenworth.
i San Francisco is overrun at pres
ent, thousands arriving daily, and
yet there are hundred coming
back.

We believe that Kansas bas al
ready a law for the protection of all
Kinds, of wild game, during the sen
son of breeding and incubation. In
addition to this we should have one
for the protection of the fish in our
streams, and no one should be al
lowed, under penalty, to catch or
kill fish while spawning. Millions
of fish are destroyed everv spring
by this senseless practice, aud if it
continue in a few years our
streams lili be completely depopu
lated of fish. Besides protecting
the fislr and preventing such a
wholesale slaughter of the inno
cents thnre are reasons of a sanitary
nature why such a law should be
passed. It is asserted by scientific
men that the eatlatr of fish while
spawning is productive of a certain
kind of disease, and such h thing
does not seem unreasonabble. No
one wonld think of eating an old
ben when setting, or an animal
while with young, nor would we
think of eating fish while in a cor
responding condition. Chctopa
Advance. -Right.
Tbe Kansas livers and
creeks, though narrow, are stocked
with very large fish, and would af
ford fine sport with hook and line,
year after year, if it wero not for
the reckless ' use of nets, which
scoop them out by the bushel at all
seaaons. If this net business is not
stopped, a few years more will near
ly destroy the fishes, for the streams
are to narrow for a fair part of them
to escape the meshes. We hope
the next legislature will enact a
stringent law to regulate this fish
net business, and the best way to
regulate it is to abolish it.
Tke Preaiiani Grasshepncr
Story.
The Leavenworth Times learns
the following facts from a gentle
man who has jut arrived in that
city from Cherokee county, Kansas,
where the grasshoppers lire :
A few weeks ago. a woman dag
op a panfal of dirt in which to plant
some flower seed- She put .the pan
under tbe stove, and went ont to
ace a neighbor. Upon her return,
after an hour's absence, she found
seven thousand bushels of grass
hoppers generated by the heat, lit
erally eating ber ont of bouse and
home. They first attacked- the
green-shades on the windows, and
then a green-painted dust-pan. A
green Irish servant girl, asleep in
one of tbe room?, wan the next vic
tim, and not a vestige of ber was
left. The stove and stovepipes fol
lowed, and then tbe house was torn
down so tbey could get at the chim
ney. Boards, joists, beams, plaster-1
Ing, clothing," nails," hinges," door
knobs, plates, tin-ware, everything,
in fact, the house contained, was
eaten nn, and when she arrived
within . mile of. the plaee, she saw
two of the' largest hoppers sitting
up on end, and playing mumble-peg
with the carving-kniie tor which
should have the cellar. .
The way the matter leaked out
was on a suit brought against tbe
insurance company, which refused
to pay tho policy, ou the ground
that the building was not destroyed
by fire ; but the court rendered a
verdict for the plaintiff, as she had
proven that the - grasabo-ppere were
generated by the lire iu the stove

J. M. Eastwood, who lately went
from Fort Scott to California, writes
to the Monitor:
As far as I have seen, this country
is exceedingly rich aud fertile, the
people are well-to-do, and every
thing is life and business. . The
country is overrun with Eastern
people ; there are thousands here
who cannot get employment, who
are suffering now and will continue
to sutler as long as they remain
here. If any of vour citizens talk
of coming to California, tell them
for God's sake to stay where they
are unless thev have plenty of
money, for this is no country for
those who are strapped.

Judge Lowe he sayb :

as some have had, fear of having to

"Mr. Hoak, of Tecumseh township,

burning during the grasshopper raid,

by them died last winter, but the rest
have all come out and are In line blos

that trees attacked bj- tbe grasshop

Mr. W. B. Kelly, of Madison, a suc

description of forcing apple . trees to

operation, a single limb can be made
fruitful and the others left to grow.
He cuts parallel slit" in the bark In
tbe direction of the grain about half an
inch apart and four inches long. Then
with the point of a knife he raises tbe
centre of the strip of bark leaving Its
ends fast. The effect of this is to leave
about rour inches ot the trunk or
branch surrounded with a ring of loose
bark, and the fruit is generally obtain

r To kill the borers, the fallowing Is
recommended by Mr. J. Jf. Aniborn

Washing trees with the following
mixture will rid them of borers. It
should be applied annually in March
and April from above downwards, bu
ginning two or three leet from the
