,Tbe proceedings, tn - otir local
pae, of the proceedings of the' di
rectors of thValnut., Valley rail-
road, on ".Tuesday, show that' the
movement tJ build a road from
Kmporia to Arkansas City is rapid
ly taking shape' and (sobHtance. ,A
Preaideut,' Vice-President, Treasur
er,' and Secretary, were dnly elect-
ted; ajhrvey ordered, and subscrip
tion books are to be at once opened
all along the r9Ute leaving 4-he peo-
pi to decide by their subscripUon
which kind of gauge they prefer.
The books will be arranged so that
Iboao who prefer narrow gange
shall subscribe for 4 hat, aud those
who prefer standard gauge for that
kind: This applies the generally
approved tesrr that those who fur
nish the money shall decide how it
Is to be used.' While the directors
differ in opinion as to the gaugeof
the road, we are satisfied that they
are all decidedly id , fafor'-of a rail
road being built over the proposed
rotta at t,he earliest practicable day.
Their proposition to build it If the
people "Vflll extend aid at the rate
of ($ 2,500 per mile, is made in good
earnest, and. there Is no reasonable
doubt but that that amount of aid
woich is moderate, will secure a
roid. We feci sure of this for the
reason that if it does not bring
about the building of a narrow
gaoge road, that it will secure the
extension of the Carbondale road.
The directors of that- company are
rcajiand aLlo-lo push- (heir rosd
on to Emporia and down the Wal-
nut Valley, It given aid io that
amount. They are. now extending
it from Carbondale to Osage City
for no greater inducement, and
have offers .out this side or Osage
City to keep on with the extension
at the same rato of aid.
We repeat therefore, that it is
safe to expect and rely upon the
speedy building of a railroad from
Kmporia to Arkansas City, if the
people extend aid at the rato asked
for by the Walnut Valley railroad
dlreotors $2,500 per mile. The
matter is therefore - really in the
hands of the people along the route,
and what they have to do to tret a
road is simply not to hesitate or
cavil about tho matter, -but extend
the aid, either by private subscrip
tions or public funds. The aid will
bring the road, and the lack of the
aid . will defeat the road. This
mnch certainly has been arrived at,
and the people therefore, can see
' jussvrhat to do; : :i .
'in regard to the Carbondale rail
road, more correctly called . the St.
Louis, Lawrence and Southwestern
railroad,: we believe-it, . to be, a de
sirable road forubotlr. Erapoiia and
the Wlut Valley io secure, and
that it would be a permanent com
potiog Hue with both the M. K. &
T. and the A, T. & S. P. road The
choice of tbe'peopTe evidently now
lies . between that road and a nar
row, gauge. . We believe their fu
ture Interests would be best subserv
ed by a uarrow gauge from Arkan
sas City Ma 'Emporia and Ottawa
to Kansas City, and thence to SI.
Louis, but the Walnut Valley is in a
hurry for a road, and can no doubt
get the. Carbondale road - quicker
than f it, can get ny other road, if
Cutler and Cowley counties can
tinder the present law, vote the
amount of aid required of them.

Generally speaking,. the damage
to life and properly by. Iodlans is
believed to be less during ihopas't
year than In any former year. 4 j
The prospect is that as "the coun
try settles up It will be less and less
each year until all the Indians are
established on small 'reservations,
but until they acquire habtts of In
dustry In farming or Jo .stock . rai
sing they will need food from the
general government, because the
game which they have hitherto sub.
sisted upon has diminished' very
rapidly. .

high. Its head radiating streams
of light at night, if'the people of
this country - will provide, a suit
able stone pedestal 100 feet high,
and be set op In 'New York harbor,
for the statute to stand upon. It
is a magnificent enterprise, and In
tended to . commemorate' Centen

There has been a beip 'o much
of the following kind cf patrio
tism In this country.
A member of the Arkansas legis
lature in pronouncing a panegyric
upon his deceased colleague. Col.
Yell, of Vellville, said pathetically ':
"When my distinguished colleague's
voice was last heard In this hall, it
was on the accasion of the suspen
sion of the Yellville Bank. My
colleague, Mr. Speaker, did not,
when- explaining his connection
with 'that 'institution, acoount for
all the funds in his possession, but
sir, his remarks showed that his
heart beat . wjurmly for his native

The value of commercial itatis
Ucs was shown in the exposure
of the Stl Louis whisky ring. It
came about in this way : Mr. Colo
ney, commercial editor of the Dem
ocrat, in compiling his review of
the trade of.St."Lou)8,'lfound that
the amount or whisky whlcn en
tered into the commerce of the city
was vastly In' excess of the amount
returned as made. fie was ap
pointed a secret revenue agent and
had to compile the statistics of the
entire bnsiness of St. Louis, so as
to prevent bis object being known
Mia figures net only disclosed the
fraud, but the distilleries . and
houses eozsjred in it. Thus was
this most formidable combination
overthrown. . Every city ought to
keep correct statistics of its trade
transactions.

We find in the report of the" iiro
ceedlosrs of. the Agricultural Soci
ety of Kansas, for 1873, a report of
which we take some ex&racts: Mr.
Kelsey says that he linds the cash
value of the annual larni products
of the United States to be $2,450-
000.000. while the value of all live
stock of every description is $659,-
211.033. or about $800,000,000 lesa
than the value of farm products
To orotect this, near two and a half
billions of growing crops, and a
little over two. hundred and fifty
million acrea of ground have beeu
fenced in at a cost of S1.71S.520.185.
or about ninety ' millions or dollars
above the value of live stock. The
annual cost of repairs of these fen
ces is nearly three hundred millions
of dollars. But this is not all. It
Is estimated that the fences them
selves occunv one-fiftieth of the
land fenced in, which is so much
waste. For every dollar's worth of
livestock we have in the United
States -we have 'expended one dol
lar and six cents in fencing to pro
tect one dollar and forty-seven
cents' worth of growing crops,
This is kept up at an annual ex
pense 25 per. cent in tho cost of re
pairs, interest and loss of land
The reader' will ' remember that
these figures are not mere puess
work, but . compiled from otlicial
tables by the best elatisticiahes in
the country. '

A tray -wlfli the Medium
A Prof. Baldwin is traveling
around outdoing the spiritualists
in wonderful performances, aud
claiming that he. does it all by mere
slight of ' hand aud stage trickery,
and that they nee similar .means
He gave an entertainment Friday
evening last in Kansas Citv, and
for the edification of people inclin
ed to believe in spirits, we clip this
much of the Daily Journal's ac
count of the show :
A committee of four gentlemen
was selected. All were well known
citizens.-' After- a comical game of
hide-and-seek with a nickel in a
handkerchief, be hantled each one
ot the committee a tumbler, aud
also produced an earthenware
pitcher for examination, lie then
produced wine and water at will,
and the audience were much amu
eed. . . .
Mrs. Clara Baldwin was then in
trodoced. She is a pleasant ap
Deannar vounsr lady, and acts as
stasre manager for her husband du
rinsr tho cabinet" Seances. Mr. E.
C. H.aller, the p.rofessoris assistutit,
was also , introduced.. lhe two
gentlemen - took their 6eMB in the
eabinet, which was tharoughly ex
amined by the committee. The
committee took ropes, and each
did .his best to tie these young
men so they could not assist the
spirits in producing the chaos 'of
sounds that usually proceed l.om a
cabinet during a Spiritual seance,
the doors were closed, and almost
Instantly bells were heard riuginjj,
1 the .tambourines sounded, hands
were' shown at the Opening, aud ev
erything was done that the Daven
ports 'accomplished in their double
seance. The doors were opened
and ;.theperformerg were Jound
tied as at first. The doors were
closed again ' closed, aud 'after a
apseof a few minutes tae professor
land his assistant stepped, upon the
platform untied.'
The cabinet scenes were truly
wonderful, and we venture the as
sertion that the audience, together
with their elected committee of ex
aminers, were completely at a loss
to account for them. No descrip
tipp we can give will, do justice to
the subject, but we cannot resist
tho inclination to give one scene
t'.at was not only pnzling, but
quite amusing.
' The Professor' was tied feccurcly
in hi chair with strong ropes, by
all of the committee, and his hand,
feet and elbows were also securely
Tastened in the same way, each man
struggling to make the - knots thor
oughly secure. They occupied
several minutes in perfecting their
work. The knots were also sealed
with wax so no movement could be
made.1 One of the committee was
then placed In a'chair in the cabinet
with the Professor, with his back
to him, but holding him securely
by the knees. The door was closed
and the nproar bosun. Tambou
1 fines, fish horn, dinner bells, rattle
00ie,8 "uu. lue i'Pll!"cc(j oi a
I Pandemonium setmed ioiued in a
colossal effort to destroy the com
mittee, man, but. upon opening the
doors there sst-lhe Professor, tied
in the same position, with the com
mitteeman in his chair holding his
companion by the knees and a tam
bourine balanced ou his head, look
ing for all the world like the Mi
kado of Japan or some other public
functionary.
In connection1 with this trick the
Professor put on a coat belonging
to a gentleman present, while tied
and in the cabinet, aud then, allow
ing his wife to socurely sew it in
front, and also to sew the sleeves
together, the doors were closed
aad. the medium took off the gar
ment without breaking a stitch, to
the astonishment of all present.
After this came a few clever
tricks, wbeu Mrs. Baldwin entered
the cabinet at the conclusion of
the above and performed the final
trick of the evening, viz., duplica
ting the performance of Katie Kin g
and of the Eddy Brothers, which
was exceedingly, wonderful, she be
ing securely fastened to the end of
the cabinet by her neck.
Faees and forma appeared and
talked, and finally Katie King wal
ked1 but on the stage.' This was a
stumper, and discounted the best
feats of the well known mediums.

Politically, Kansas owes much to
Massachusetts. No sister of this
union oi'st&tes did so much to help
uk in our c-ai-lv stru;?r!e8 asrainst our
eiifctnie over the border. That
K&iiiiis came into tha Union a free
State i3 duo largely to the timely
and staunch support which was
candered bv the irrnd old com
monwealth whose oil was earnest
consecrated by patriot blood, and
which has always bec-n foremost jn
freedom' cause. We can never
foryet nor rcnav our debt, lut ll
we were in auy danger of forget
liner the oast, wo have within our
State a constant reniicder that we
owe our wonderlul growth anu

such easy terms.
I have spoken ot our growth as a
State, and have intimated that tec
railroad is largely me cause oi it
Kansas is culy one of many proofs
of the saying of an eminent political
economist, tnai -rauroaus create
States." We have a perfect net
work of roads over our eastern
counties, and these counties are the
moat thickly settled, liut we have
two roads, aud only two, crossing
the whole length of the btate, the
Kausas Pacific and the Atchison
Topeka aud Santa f?c. lheyare
ahuurcd miles apart, iiie lormer
runs through tho northerly part of
Kansas to Denver, tho latter from
the northwest corner, southward
and westward to Pueblo iu Col
orado. I shall speak uow only of
the latter, as I suppose your readers
will naturally ba more interested in
its affairs since, as I have 'said, it is
almost wholly a Boston enterprise,
Boston capital built it aud Boston
men manage it. Tho President of
the :C0inpany' Thoniis Nickcrson
Esq., was aud is one of tho most
successful ship managers of your
famous port, aud is managing this
ship of tho priirio with consum
mate 6kill. Tho Vice Prebident
Francis II. Peabody, Esq., is one ot
your most successful bankers. The
Directors are, nearly all of them
men well kuowu ia your citj', and
eminent for their enterprise and
success. AW are glad ttiat au in
stitntion of so much magnitude and
such vital importance to our State
is under trie control of audi men
They have a splendid piece of
property here. Their land grant is
almost the last one made by Con
grcs", and without boasting it
may be said to be the best. They
have nearly three mil. ion acres o
the most fertile land in this Slate,
which as a whole, leads all othe
States in productiveness1, (see Uni
ted States Agricultural llcporls.
Their road is completed and is
earning enough to pay the interest
on its bonds. The net earnings of
August wero $100,000 and those ot
September and Octobpr so far sur
pass the estimates. Even ia the
dreadful "rasn-hopper" year tho net
li-pppinta of thfl road Wfre Sfilfi 8f0.
and the returas so far. render it
quite certain that they will exceed
57oO,000 this year. The Company
has, besides what it leases, 510 miles
of road, having extended over the
western line ot Kausas to Grauada,
Colorado, and the purpose is to
push i'.i. ugh'to Pueblo this fall
Thu ti traffic of Southern Colo
rado ;uid of New Mexico will be
secured to this road. This exten
tiou which is now being built will
bo of incalculable value to the Com
pany and also to the Siate, giving
us a ready market for our produce
among the mining regions of Col
orado, and bringing us coal of bet
ter qnality aud at lower prices.
It seems to us here that the luture
of this road is one of very great
promise. Wc aia contLleiit that
no railroad enterprise in the We6t
has brighter prospects; and we
aieelad that Boston men are to
be the reapers of this rich Lai vest.
They deserve success; they have
earned it by houotaolc dealing
and hone?t work. Both the Leg
islature of Knuaas and the Con
gress of the United Siaies cin aud
do testify that tho Campany has
kept the spirit aud the letter of ail
its engagements.
But while the Company has
made a profitable invest incut for
itself, it has done a work of in
calculable benefit for Kaunas. It
has brought us people by the
thousand, ane has ciu-cd farms and
vilages to multiply. The section
of the State which it parses through
tha valleys of tic Cottonwood
and Arkansas rivers is wonder
fully attractive to settlers. While
the average of the increase in the
State iu population was 1 per ccnte
along the Hue of the AtcbUon, To
peka and Santa Fe Bailroad the In
crease was more than CI percent.,
And whilo the average iucrea&e in

was much larger. The Company
had sold between March 1, 1S75,
and January 1, 1S75, 451,007 acres
of its lands, at au avcrageprice of
$5.17 per acre. The sale of 1S74

were 1260 purchers, and they took
on an average 1G0 acres each. The
terms are very favorable to meu of
smalt meaus, and still more so to
those who can pay cash. The pol
icy of tha company is to get the
lands settled and improved, aud
thus Increase the business of the
road, rather than to make money

meeting on -business.. They all seem
ed to appreciate the fact that a railroad
down the Walnut Valley was a lore
gone concluslfNuv There were no ifa
or anus about it. , Aa we Intimated in
our last fsue,tbe'only question to de
cide was from what point should this
road, becojtetructed.. .The discussions
were lonjr and animated and' lasted for

the construction of a railroad from

The question of a narrow, or stand
ard gauge road was left to be decided
In the future. ' "' '
Ilad the peopl of Emporia united
upon a feasible plan for the const ruc
tion of the road, we presume it would
have been-adopted. -Their proposition
that the- people -6 boo H construct and
own the-road after it was built, did not
meet with general, favor. Emporia is
divided as to what should be done to
secure the road. Her delegates came
to us with nothing hut talk. We had
na pledges from Etn porla as to what
heritiaenswoulado, and- therefore,
no ctenjfeite laa waa united upon.
There was LtimeTthat if Emporia
fiddled the .Walnut Valley . danced.
This order bTtbfnga is reversed.
If Emporia means -frtiiej, let ber
people aay ichat iA?y eM do. We are
going to have a railroad down this val
ley. next . yeiav While - Emporia is
quarreling over what she .wants, the
Carbondale A Osage City road will go
to Burlington' and the. Walnut Valley
road will make its connection else
where. - -
.When the people of Emporia arte
upon a proposition which is feasible
aad will back it up With money and
bond, we will be pleased to loin hands
with them and go to work. We in the
yalley have money and bonds and
credit, and are willing wad anxious to
ro to work, and use then to sec are a
railread, - - - ;'
The people ot our vail ev sxe In earn
est and will not ceas their efforts un
til they get a railroad.
The Directors of the Atchison. To
peka & Santa Fc road were not author
ized to make as a Dronosition. Thev
expressed themselves pleased with the
vaiiey, its people and its future pros
pects, l hey thought we ought to have
a road and felt sure we would get one
next year.
lbe Osage Citv reoresentatives aald
to us that if we would arade and tie
the road they would give bonds to iron
and operate it. This company talked
business iu a way that convinced many
ot our people that It was a live project.
