that it would be fooliidi to try starving the
Government, by refusing to para the np

The Courier Journal nays the Democrat
cannot afford to withhold supplies. The

pass the appropriation bilia and take the

The Council IJIuffs Sonpai e I noticrs a
rumor to the effect that in case Judge Dil

pointed to the place on the circuit bench
thus made vacant. The Sonpnrcil say s :
Ve trust Judge Dillon will conclude
to remain in the position he nils with such
distinguished ability and honors so well,
but we could endorse mix! heartily the ap
pointment of Secretary McCraryaa his suc
cessor in case he should decide otherwise."
Secretary McCrary was the law partner
of Judge Miller, now ol the Supreme
bench, and has b:en regarded for a score
of years as one of the ablest attorneys in
Iowa. That State his furnished some ex

The convention now in session in i'aris
to consider the project of cutting a canal
through the Isthmus of Darien, was called
by M. DeLessup", the successful engineer of
the Suez canal, and ia regarded as a very
important asacrnblage. Commodore Am
men represents the I'nitcd Statea. The
opinions of the convention will have much
weight with engineers. Its decisions may
not be unanimous, as there ia an iuiprcs
sion that Great liritain will oppose the
work, as she did that of the Suez canal.
Still, it is more than probable they will be
such as to impress the world with the feasi
bility of the work. The changts in the
world's trade which the completion cf such
a work would effect cinnot be estimated un
til at least the lap-e of a few yesra. Nev
ertheless, judging from these produced by,
the Suez project, now eo successful, they will
be very grt at indeed.

A Washington dispatch says that mest
of the Southern men are distressed to dis
cover that Northern public sentiment holds
the South responsible for all the absurd
fuss of the last two month?. They say that
the policy of the extra fession was not
theirs, but that cf Northern men excli
sively ; that it was opposed by the Southe.ru
men at first, and they only consented to it
when the Northern Democrats assured
them that it was ncce-sary to their success
in tbe Northern States ; that to thia plea
they could make no answer, but thst they
constantly said to their Northern allies that
the South needed no such legislation, nor
any new issue of frc-h excitement. This
may all be true, but it does not in the least
relieve the Southern men from their respon
sibility. Without the con-en t of the South
ern men the Northern Democrats could not
have made all thia fuss and plunged the
country into a new and needless rxcite

An evening paper entitled the ilir was

battling with fate for a few months was
obliged to succumb to the inevitable. The

left of the wreck of the St ir, thus stales
the cau-cs of the iatter's failure .
'The failure ot the Star was not owing
to either want of means or want of capac

thoroughly uperienced, practical, able and

whole lives to work on newspapers, and
understood their business. They were, be

five month'. ov-r tU.000 in cash, let

not furnish the news. And they could not
furnish the telegraphic news liecause they
coul 1 not get the franchise ol the Associa-

does not po-scss the press franchise, and

public something a little better than ia of

and every day we hear of papers liemg

most to do with hia accidental warelerings.
It ia claimed by well-informed railroad

The Prussian Government haa instituted

In July, 1S77, three half grown children at
Marpingen, a small place in Kbenish Prus
sia, announced that tliey had seen God's
mother, the Holy irin, and, in a solemn
assembly cf priets and bishops, a minute
report waa taken down of what she had
said and done. This miracle waa then
duly adrertired in all the lecal papers, and
hundrielaof believing persona came im
mediately rushing into Marpingen to see
the blessed childred who, however, at this
time had been safely locked upin a cloister,
and were not allowed to speak to anybody,
unlesa anybody waa willing to pay hand
somely for the privilege. In spite of this
impediment, or jierhaos on account of it, the
enthu-iasm spread prodigi jusl) ; Marpingen
became a noted place of pilgrimage,
and whenever the holy zeal seemed to ll eg
a little, some new incitement waa sought
and found. A very profitable buaine-s in
"Marpingen Wunderwasscr" was establish
cel. One of the Holy Virgin's feet was elis
covereel, and, as it would cure lameness and
epileptic fits by touching, it proved also a
very valuab'e acquisition. A new appar

interfere, seized the foot, thewunderwasser,

legal proceedings on a charge of fraud and
swindle. The proevss has lasted nearly a

Wen examined. An almost sickenning
amount of ignorance and superstition haa
thereby been uncovered, but it ia quite sat

letter has been received by a sister-in-law
of Mrs Freeman tince the latter went to
jail, which shows that she believed as im
plicitly in God's command for the sacrifice
of the child at the father did:
Baksstaiile, May 10, 1S79.
Deah Siters We have received your
letters. I had looked for one for a long
time. I never thought it would find us
here Am glad to know you are well. We
are in need of nothing, but we thank you
for your kind thoughts for our comlort. I
have no doubt you suffer for us. I cannot
tell you how it all came to be. You know
how dearly we both loveil our precious lit
tle one. We have tried for more than a
year to live entirely devoteil to Goel and to
the good of others. We have given up
dress, the desire for money, and everything
tint was net pure in purjiose. You would
hardly have believeel it was Charlie. He
never waa profane; had not drank since I
knew him, and was one of the best of hus
bands and fathers.
A LIFE OF TRAYEB.
Bat now he commenced a life of prayer
and faith in God, and I with him. He
read hia Bible every spare moment, and his
whole life was spent in Christfan, earnest
work for good; and hia whole aim, not
neglecting other duties, was to win souls to
Christ and seek himelf etsrnal life. One
trial of cur faith came after another, and
God blessed ua very much the more we
trusted him. By and by there came a
week acd more of great newtrials. Charlie
did not sleep, nor eat scarcely, for nearly
two weeks.
A TRIAL OF FAITH.
During thia time of painful trial he felt
that Goel required him to have the faith of
Abraham. You know what that was in re
gard to Isaac He could not get away
from it. The more- he tried the more it
came home to him. At last he said to the
Ixird he would be willing to bear the test.
He thought that wou'd be all that God
would ask. That seemed to eud it for the
day. Thnt night it came to him more
powerfully. He could not help it. Oh!
God alone knows how I suffered ; but hav
ing such great faith in Uod to believe he
would stop him just as he elid Abraham
that it was only a trial of faith knowing,
as I did, Charley's life and love, his fear to
disobey God and that he had Abraham's
faith, 1 could not hinder him. But neither
of ua thought God would suffer him to be
touched any more than that the day would
fail Io come.
A MIRACLE rPt7IED.
We thought God would see our faith and
give us "some token of acceptance. We be
lieved Gcd would thunder from Sinai be
fore any harm should come to our dtrling.
But when I found my precious Ediegone,
oh, Father, how I felt ! But comfort seemed
to come sgatn. Abraham believed God
would raie Isaac, and so we felt that it
was God's plan to take her so as to raise
her from the dead and thus show His
mighty power and love. We did believe
He would do this in order to show the
world that the Goel of Abraham, of Isaac
and of Jacob still lives, and so wake up the
frozen Church of God to its duties, the
Church so married to the world that there
is scarcely any eliflerence between the two.
We believed this was to be and that fcdie
would yet go with Charlie to preach the
gospel of the kingdom. What a jiower she
would be, what glory to His cause! Elijah,
Elisba. Chriat and lhe Apostles raised the
dead, and why should not God do it now as
theL? We belitved He would. But the
time has so far passe el and we are here.
A CLtlJI OF ISXOCEXCE.
God knows we are innocent of any crime.
Charlie still thinks God ia going to mani
fest His power and glory and himself be
justified in the eyes of the world. God
grant it may be so! Oh; you cannot know
my sorrow! It almost breaks my heart.
My dear, dear Edie! Charlie is innocent,
Oh, he is, of any crime, but I am afraid it
waa mistaken faith in God. Dear Lord!
help us in our need. Hattie.

Corre-spoinli'iie- f Tli I.evenworlti Times:
Wa-ICelxey, May I-j The remark has
been made in lime gone by, that we are a
wocderful people, living in a wonderful
age, in which said observation there is
much mora truth than poetry, and all the
more particularly s wl.en immediate ref
erence is had to Kanais. Two years ago
what ia tow Trego county had no local
habitation, boasting nire'y a name; now
there are 2,."00 people v.itliin the county's
limits, a county organlzi'ion will soon be
effected ami Trego will take her place
AMONG TltK SISTERHOOD.
Trego is one of the third tierfrom the North
and is the third county east from the Col
orado State line, the Kansas Pacific road
passing elirectly through it. Two years ago
she waa reiarded aa practically without
the pale of civilizition ; now ebc knocks at
the doer of tha Gaveruor's room at the
State hou-e and aska sdmhtance, not as a
handmaiden but as one of the ijueens of the
realm. Heretofore Trego has been
ONE CF TllC U.VKSuW.N e-UALITIES
and eiccupicd no place-, but now she is re
organized aa one of the strongest, most en
ergetic acd thriving cf all the new counties.
The te-tllcment of the county has been very
rapid, and the settlers being of the produc
ing, maintaining class especially, who have
come. here with nieausand the will and mus
cle to . injf not a fortune, at least a comjie
tency. It is 'simethirg wonderful that a
county sa far removed from the Missouri
river should develope, in a single night, as
it were, but as there isn't cnythipg new un
der the f un, and es Trego ia in Kansas,
leople hae cea-eel to wonder, but take
everything as it comet aul manifest sur
prise at nothing.
THE TOWS OF WA-KEEKEY,
which will, beyond the peradventure of a
doubt, be the county e-e it when Trego ia
organized, ia three hundred and twenty-five
miles west from the Missouri river, half
way to Denver, acd ia as pert a bantling
as ever grew on the proliSc soil of wonder
ful Kansas. Not two years old yet, ehe has
a population of five hundred, and a pros
pect, before the end of the year, ot as many
more; good business houses are going up on
every hand and fine residences are the or
der of th day; the depot here, when com
pleted, will be the finest in the State along
THE LINE OF THE KANSAS TACIFIC
road; it is one hundred ieet in length by
thirty-six feet in width, with elaborate por
ticoes supported by co'umns, and a tower
fifty feet in height; a platform twenty-seven
feet wide surrounds the building, which
will be admirably arranged, containing
gentlemen's and ladiea' willing rooms,
ticket and telegraph offices, baggage room
and freight department. The rooms will
be appropriately finished in wood and fur
nished with every convenience. The Oakea
House, the erection of which will be begun
shortly, will be a large two story building,
of magnesian limestone, the material of
which the depot is being constructed, and is
NAMED A1TER GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT
OAKES,
of the Kansis Pacific road. Wa-Keeney is
building up very fast, tbe new business
houses going up being of a substantial
character and totally unlike the majority of
the buildings usually erected in the hurried
process of constructing a new town. One
thing in regarel to the business men.of Wa
Keeney, and a fact that constitutes one of
her very greatest advantages, is that her
merchants, taken as a whole, are better off,
financially, than those of any other town in
this western region, each and every one of
them, with, of courre, an exception now
and then,
BEING MEN OF CAPITAL,
and having more than sufficient to bridge
over to da's difficulties without trusting to
luck for to-morrow. The situation of the
town is a beautiful one, the site being roll
ing, and a finer mile-seiuare tract of land
upon which Wa-Keeney is situated does not
exist in the western country. It is the pre
valent impression that the name of the
town ia derived from the Indian, and the
impression ia surely warranted from the
close resemblance, but the facts really are
that the name is as far from being Indian as
THE RED MEN THEMSELVES
are from the town. In October, 1S77, War
ren, Keeney & Co, an enterprising real
estate firm of Chicago, by purchase and
contract, secured control of all the railroad
lands of the county, with the exception of
the eastern ticrof townships. They founded
a town, and as a village bearing the cogno
men of Warren-Keeney wouldn't, perhaps,
find the ftvor a more euphonious-name
might bring, they cut off the "rren" and
called it Wa-Keeney, and that is the name
by which it is and shall be known for all
time. From the time of
THE FOUNDING OF THE TOWN
it has been peraiatently advertised in all
of the papers of the East, and it is exceed
ingly doubtful if there be a one-year-old
youngster in the UniledStates fo well
know. This advertisement being previous
and well timed had the effect of bringing to
the county the very best class of immigra
tion. At the present time it is extremely
doubtful if there can be found an unoccupied
acre of government land within several
miles of ths town, while the railroad lands,
or rather thoce of Warren, Keecey S: Co.,
are
BEING RArlDLY DISPOSED OF.
It is a rather remarkable fact that three or
four men ehould own an entire county, yet
this is the case in Trego, the number of
acres within the disposal of the above
named firm being &bout 175,000. Thia lit
tle city of the plains has a brilliant future
for it, as it is and must be the center of trade
for a vast region. It has mail communica
tion both north and south, by stage, and
east and weet by rail, acd is not, by any
means, without tbe civilized limit, as many
imagine, bhe lias every advantage ol
schools and churches, and as the railroad
brings the world to her very doors, what is
there that she can ask for which is not to
be obtained? A large flouring mill is being
constructed, while several important manu
facturing schemes are now on foot, of which
it may not be advisable to speak now.
Everything in and arounel the town indi
cates life, industry and energy which argues
well for her future.
TREGO'S CHALK BED'.
Within a short distance of the town, a
mile and ahalf toward the north, lie tbe
only chalk beds in the United States, which
although they have been developed in a
very small way neretolore, nave not at
traded much attention from the world in
general The article of chalk obtained
from these beds is superior, and wherever
it has been used it is pronounced so. A
company has been formed having sufficient
capital to work extensively, and before
many months pass, it may be possible that
Trego county will be sending coals to New
castle, and that the heretofore chalk mar
ket of the world will be buying Kansas
chalk. Nature has done wonders by this
part of the country, and it is no more than
fair that man should step in and help her
out.
THE rOPOXATIM OF WA-KEENEY
at the present time ia tally five hundred,
and with the growth of the town can be
estimated that of the surrounding country,
Ogallah on the east and Collyer on the
west, neither of which, however, while be
ing live and pushing and growing, are ri
vals of Wa-Keeney, nor do they pretend to
be.

yet. however, has not been developed Big
creek tbws through the central portion of
tbe county, and is a stream of some impor
tance Many, and it may be said, the
majority, of the streams of the county are
fed by living springs, so that even in the
hottest weather of summer they re
tain their water. Good springs
abound, but more especially in the
northern part of the connty, and good well
water can be obtained at a reasonable
depth. The timber supply of the county is
comparatively small, and confined to nar
row belts along the streams.
THE SOIL
i a dark, chocolate colored loam, loose and
pliable when brought under cultivation acd
easily worked, so that any good plow will
scour in it. It dries quickly after a rain,
but does not bake in dry weather. On the
upland prairie it is from one and one-half
to three feet in depth, underlaid by a light
colored sub-soil, of which the base is clay
resting upon limestone rock. Alone the
streams is a high second bottom, upon
which the soil is several feet in depth.
From the surface down to the soil on both
upland and bottom
IS SOLID AND FIRM,
so that cellars will stand without wallirg.
The buffalo grass is the native of the coua
tr, which grows about three inches high
and cures into hay before the fall fioots,
after which it is even more nutritious than
when green. Stock can winter uion it
without other feed and come out in good
condition. Thia grass is, however, being
steadily encroached upon by what is known
as the blue joint, a prairie crass crowing
to the height of three feet or more, with a
trues bottom, which lurnishes the very best
of pasturage, and cutting about
TWO TONS TO THE ACRE.
In a comparatively short time this will
have entirely driven out the bnfiVo grass.
Of the cultivated grasses Hungarian, mil
let and 'alfalfa, give the best returns as
forage crops, but after a few years cultiva
tion of thesoil, blue grass, timolhy, clover
and other perennial grasses will succeed
b-yond a doubt. The sod ia easy to break,
anil the breaking reason proper lasts from
the first of April to the middle of July, al
though breaking is done at all seasons cf
the year. Land broken in the Spring is
usually sown to wheat in the fall. There is
NO FENCING OF CUOr.s,
and the new settler ia thus saved one of
heaviest items of expense in opening up a
farm, aa the laws of the State require the
owners to care for it and prevent trespass.
Building material is abundant and cheap,
the county being underlaid by a soft white
mrgnesian limestone, cropping out in some
places at the edges of bluffs in layers from
four to sixteen inches in thickness. This
stone
IS EASILY QUARRIED,
so soft when first taken out that it can be
shaped with a common saw or hatchet or
dressed with a plane, but which hardens on
exposure to the atmosphere. The hard
limestone suitable for door and window
sills and caps is' found in some localities,
and both varieties burn readily into lime
of a gooel quality. Conglomerate rock,
A NATIVE CONCRETE,
which can be utilized for building pur
poses, is abundant throughout the county,
and there are also deposits of the finest
gravel for concrete walls, acd sand for both
building and plastering. Deposits of native
lime are also found which makes a good
mortar without burning and can be utilized
with gravel in building concrete walls of
houses. Gypsum, of extra fine ijuality, is
found, and traces and indications of min
eral phosphate of lime, though not devel
oped in large quantities. From all indica
tions FRUIT GROWING
can be made a successful and profitable
business in Trego county, for trees in the
county, just to the east of Trego, have pro
duced largely, and surely a finer and a
richer soil the sun never shone upon. In
fact many of the farmers are paying con
siderable attention to horticulture and have
set out thousands of trees. There are some
indications cf coal in the county, but no
steps have as yet been taken toward its de
velopment. The county offers magnificent
opportunities for stock-growing, and this
will always hold an important place
among the county's industries. To the
man who wishes to engage in this pursuit on
a largescale, and to tbe one who desires to
raise and fatten a few for the market each
year, the advantages are equal. For both
there exists that range of territory which
is necessary for ample pasturage. Water
ia abundant and of the best quality, and
the grasses are rich and nutritious. There
are numeroua instances of large herds of
cattle passing throiuh the entire winter
with not a mouthful of other feed, and
coming out in good order in the spring.
Cattle and sheep raising are bath profit
able. Of course, wheat raising is the great
industry now, there being a quick return
therefrom, and already there are some im
mense fields under cultivation, there being
one of five hundred acres near Wa-Keeney.
Trego county offers superior inducement',
and the immigrant would d.i well not to
throw aside the advantages it offers.

L. W. B Johnson, of Cimarron, Informs us
that he has a field of twenty-two acres of tall
wheat on botttorn land, which is doing well
and Ioobs promising. He says the first plow
ing of the sod, was made to the depth of three
Inches. The second plowing was subsolled.
In preparing the ground for the wheat, he
harrowed and then sowed the grain. Alter
this he plowed the wheat In with a "turn
over" plow. The field Is a beautiful stand,
and looks fresh and green.
F. Rlsely, In an aeijolnlng Hem. on upianu,
pursued the same cxiurse In preparing lhe
ground and planting, but has a Held 01 wheat
nm-inrh and ahalf taller than Mr. Johnson
Mr. Riseleya wheat was town some lime
intorthan vfr Johnson's.
We make reftreno to these two fields of
wheat, hoping that tbe experiment wun lis
results may be watched, so that ir there is
anradvantaee in It. others may profit by the
example. We believe that there are proper
methods of planting fall wheat, conditioned
with the circumstances to which we are sub
ject.
Suicide or a Kansas Man in Victoria.
Garnett Journal, 1T.J
Our citizens were both shocked and pained
upon reading in the telegraph news from
Victoria, an account of the suicide of Charlie
Hunt,a young man welland favorably known
here. There Is little known In reference to
the occurrence other than that a letter waa
received by a young companion of Cnariey 'a,
intimating his intention of committing sui
cide, and stating where his body could be
found. True to this information Charlie was
found tbe leaden messenger having been
sent crushing through his temples. He was
buried at Victoria, but bla body will this fall
be sent to eiarnett, Kansas where his father
.!. i Th. ilM-easeel was 22 vears of ace.
and had resided in 1'etaiuma several years,
ili.rlno uhlclt he was In the emnloy of Taft.
McClymonds &. Co. lit was a superior pen
man and accountant, anu ol unquestionuoie
Integrity in all his business transactions. Ho
young man nere was mure uuivrisauj c
teemed and respected than Charlie Hunt,and
why with his own baiid he should sever the
slender chore' .that holds soul and body to
gether, is a mystery as great as the ways of
Providence are inscruiaoie.

And now Wichita has a mystery. Thlsaf-
noon about three o'clock, while some men
were fishing in the Arkansas river, a short
distance below tbe bridge at this place, they
discovered tbe dead body of a man floating
not far from the western bank. They recov
ered It and took it out of the water and
brought it over to town. All Inquiries as to
who it Is proved fruitless. No one was able
to Identify him, and there was not the s'lght
est clue as to his Identity, in tbe way of pa
pers, found on his person. The physicians
who examined him found that his neck was
broken; that there was a bullet hole In his
lett cheek, tbe ball having ranged upward :
that his left arm, b'twex-n tbe elbow and
shoulder, was withered, but probably not so
a to render it ustle-j; and a scar on his
arm between lhe wrist and tbe elbow, and
that he had been dead about eighteen or
twenty boon. Tbe deceased was abont lor-ty-flve
or flfty yean of are, five feet tea
ucnes men, army amir, cain waaun;
afeavsd asTMs noastaefeeabost a weak
lversal opinion is that heww killed In the
danchouon the west Mde e,l the river
and the body thrown in.

(New York Herald, is.
Our I'aris cable dispatch gives further
details ot yesterday s proceedings iu th
fnteroceanic Canal Congress. The chief
interest just now naturally centres in the
work ol tbe Committee on Technique, as it
is before this body that the eminent ex
plorers and engineers are advocating their
respective routes. Kear Admiral Ammen,
of the United "tates .Navy, occupied the
morning session by a lengthy but lucid pre
sentment of the several surveys, and in
doing so be explained the comparative ad
vantages, disadvantages and cot of the
Nicaragua, Panama and Atrato-Napipi
route. lie was followed by Engineer
Menocal, who occupied live hours in
explaining his .Nicaragua scheme, and
fortified his theory bv maiH and plans.
Mr. Menocal was so thorough in his de
tails that he was highly complimented bv
many able engineers who were preent. t
the close of Mr. Menocal's remarks f.ieut.
Wjse, of the French navy, made an inter
esting speech, in which lie also reviewed
the whole questioa. This was a notable
day's work lor one committee to have ac
complished, and shows how thoroughly the
entire Congress has addressed ite!f to the
important tak an before it. Judging from
what has already been accomplished we
may confidently look lorward to important
results and a final report on the epiestion
that will place the proposed canal on a line
satisfactory to every nation interested in
its con.sirue.tion.

Canadian Affair.
The Canadian Parliament has adjourned
It has made the mother country wrathful by
the adoption of a protective tariff that
.strikes as much at British products as tt
thnp nf Mir nvn miiirlrp Tn h !( nf
tiie-.oungltbisitasks Great Britain for the funds
needed to complete tbe Canada Pacific
1 l'.iilway to the ocean whose name it tears.
lhe promised completion of the road by
iMuigme price paid lor Uritisb Co
lumbia's accession to the confederation.
Most of the country along the route is a
wilderness, and the estimated value of the
land is S2 an acre. This, it is supposeel,
will secure the bonds which English capi
talists are to be asked to take. Yet form
er railroad loans to Canada have not
tnrned out well. Then, too, Columbia gets
most of hT imports via the Pacific and her
own Forts, anel will not appreciate the
privilege of paving high duties forthe ben
efit of provinces thousands of miles to the
eist. It is hoped, however that the ad
vantages of an eastern connection by rail
will overbalance this. Sir John MacDon
ald is coins to England to negotiate the
stle of the londs, and the pledce made to
elumlii will be fulfilled, if possible.
Still, there ia enough of doubt to render
the situation not altogether pleasant or
piomiring.
