IMMIGHATION TO KANSAS.
The far-seeing, lib-ral iolicy of tbe tied
grant railroads is giving a revival to tie
immiitiation bocm ti this State. Tbe lew
rates of fare 6:ve nearly everybody an o,
pmttinity to take the excursion travel. Thr
rrtult has been that thousands of fcop'e
have vieited Kansas within tbe past ten
dies; and many cf these people have selec
rd 'orations and will make settlement early
inlherprinr. Tbe flittering wheat pros
pect4, and all eyes be ng Kan-taaward, wr
way expect a ecison ol unjual acivity
next year. We adviee Ihns e who select the
wrelera portion of the S ate for eettlemem,
to come provided with means loeogage in
mock raiding, a pnrea't admirably adapted
to thiseicioi of country. The older settled
portions i f Kansas will strive to secure tbe
linrer pottiin ot imrniralion, and on thi

to ii jure the repitation of tbe Stiti; yet
throunb the contradiction of these reor
and tbe extra efforts put firth by tbe rail
roids, in sdvtrii-iig and reducing the fate
for nr ie ccm'ng here to look around, the
imlications are that the itnniigraii.m to
Kansas for the year 1SSI will be at o ct

it be faahionable to ett!e in tie southern

of the Amendment, distilliri s, that have
been lying idle Im months pis', have sud
denly sprung into opratioi; Mowl club"
and "cub roinin" are being cpenid, an) th
vo'aries of King Alcohol seem determined
to have their drinks in face of the Its .. The
legi'atme will paai s'ringent laws tor the
enforcement of the amendment, and provid
ing a constabulary force to make arris s nn
der these law. F r a lime there will be
eome difficnliy in en'orcing the law, lut

-cruiiy, by which the intoxicant can be ob

favor cf prohibition, because it ia the law,

hibition will check drinking, but it wi I net
top it. In most communities public feelin;
will be against drinking, and in thoae place
there will be a axial ostraciam of those who
seek the indulging bowl covetously. This
is where tre power of prohibition will
come in a a'rorg sentiment in favrr of the
enforcement of tbe law.

mend all persons troubled with weak kid

Kndabaagb anil bia fang "perfected tbe

were delivered from Las Vegaa jail. The
Las Vegaa Optic gives the names of thoae
engased in tbe plot, being liars Huda

Bennett and others. These parties)
are not unknown ia tbe annals of crime,
oa this border. The Optic says of Budaa
uaugh's gang:
For some time the ganghaa been la New
Mexico gradually approaching Las Ve;aa
Fust ICudabaugb and twelve va-gals were
near San Marcial. afterwards at Port
Sumner, where they separated two week
ago. anil congregated again in a sequest
ered spot on tboPeciee. thirty miles touth
west of the city. In this rendezvous the
plan of action was perfrcted. Spies came
into town and taking advantage of a lull
injailaCairs, managed to pass tools and
keta in'o tho bands of the men in the cell
firm which the birds have flown. The
imcof the break was understood to the
hoar. By working quietly tne prisoners
were successful in gaining tint open air.
Skulking tnroatih the outskirts of town
they went to a point out en tbo old Santa
Ve trail, south of tbo wcit side,, and thera
found hmses in wait.
A sharp drivo brought them to tbo camp
of the linspitaMe Undabauab. and Defore
daybreak they were trooping over the
prairies en route to a mora genial clime
than any of them ever hoped to find in
Montezuma.
Al a meeting of th Kansas Acadomy of
Science Mr. II. R. Hilton, of Tnpefca.
ruail a paier on thn rainfa'l in its relation
lo Kansas farming. The piper dicn-sd
'be dillerent anils of the.St.ite and their
onwrr of absorbing moutiirc. When
Kansas was first anttleel it was tbongt the
Stale could not be cultivated, except along
tbe valleys west of Tupaka. Now good
crops are raised 03 miles nett of the east
linn of Ilia State. Unltivatinn. p'antitig
forests, stopping devastating prairla tires,
and a cbacge ol, grasses ,"l,h mulching
have been tbe principal means of thJjo
great changes.
Adrv stratum of a'r near the earth pre
vents precipitation of moUtaru. and the
s'orirahaie a tendency tu piss nverns.
Storms have become, less violent and more
cencral. The changes soing on bar
tended to osrablish a connection between
tbe earth and tbe clouds. We must pie
vent radiation anil iaereass depoeitiou of
mntstnre. As an evidence that oar former
dry c'itnate is passing awav tbs nvneo
formerly so common, and a result "f a dry
clinatc. is now seldom seen. Western
Kansas mav never hive as math rain as
Eastern Kansas, but the soil does no: re
quire it. In Westein Kansas wheat cm
ba raided in four years in liao eoadilioa.
Stock should be raised in Western Kis-js,
and farmers should learn to plow deep.
Tbe author believed that Kansas ein, by
applied science, be nude one of ibe bat
agricultural States in tbe Union.
Tbe Minnehaha Irrigating ComsanT was
organized a few day aan, and all the
stock taken, principally by men of the A.
r. & 3. F. B- K. The charter embraces
al! tbe land south of tbe Arkansas river
between tbe hills and the bed of said river,
and from a point above Lakia to the Hopt
kins place, opposite Sherlock. This largo
bottom ia about twenty mile long, and
from two to six miles wide, and for lni-
gating purposes, is aoeqaaled by any part
of the great valley of the Arkansas, A
ditch will be constructed shortly, anl
landa on the south side will be in deaiand-

ITon. Robert Andsrson and J. W.Ellis,
district clerk elect ef Pratt county, were
in Kingman Saturday, looking alter the
interest of tne Arkansas Bivcr and Wes
tern railraad. Pratt county at las recent
election voted in atd of the contraction
of this road $102,500, bat submitted the
proposition in such way that tbe fiiat
road built through the county get tbe
bonds. As this county has also voted
bonds in aid of a railroad we look for work
to begin on th line la a short time.
