The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad company has increased the pay
of conductors, brakemen and baggage
men. A circular has been Issued by
the company fixing a uniform standard
of pay, and this circular sets forth the
purpose of the company towards the
employees named: For the purpose of
encouraging continuous service and ef
forts at promotion. Advanced rank
and pay is made in accordance with effi
cient and merritorious service. The pay
is fixed on monthly basis, 6,000 miles
being a months' work. The pay of
these men is increased to third year
when the standard is fixed permanently.
Brakemen will receive from $55 to $60
the first year, and conductors $100 to
$120 during the two years service.
The Santa Fe company has done a wise
and judicions action. There is some
thing to stimulate to better service,
and certainly no class of men have been
so poorly paid as the overworked trainmen.
There was a carnival in Dodge Mon
day evening (and the Globe man was
not invited, and he is hurt thereat)
in winch some of the boys held a devil
try, so to speak. Well, we are not
commending any such business; but
the Globe says at this time Mr. Sugh
rue was in his "little bed," thus giving
the inference that Mr. Sughrue is
too nice to stay up nights or "run with
the boys." We'll wager the Globe
man's hat that Pat was not asleep at
the time mentioned by the Globe we
will wager that Pat was looking over
the bed covers, and with both ears
wide open, wondering what in Sam
Blazes was going on. P. S. Pat was
up at daylight to find out what had
been done.
F. C. Zimmermann states that he
has not lumber enough for his custom
ers just at present, owing to scarcity of
cars, and never had nor will have lum
ber to rot on his hands; and did not
make or order one part for the pros
pective poor house. As to the building
of a poor house, Mr. A. J. Anthany,
brother-in-law of D. M. Frost, was in
favor of a new poor house, as the old
one is unsafe to live in; it may blow
down at any strong wind, any one say
ing it was my plan to build one is a will
ful liar. F. C. Zimmermann.
The board of County Commissioners,
at their last meeting, instructed the
county attorney to bring suit against
W. H. Ha.ris and P. F. Sughrue, for
the recovery of the amount of forfeited
bond in the case of John S. McCarty,
the "confidence,' man who was on trial
last February, and who escaped convic
tion by jumping bail, and subsequently
dying of small-pox at a ranch south of
this point McCarty, it will be remem
bered, robbed a man on the train be
tween Spcareville and Dodge City.
Rev. Mr. George will preach a politi
cal bermon in the Union Church, Sun
day morning. We believe he will take
his text from that particular chapter in
Dodge's political history known as the
Glick Guards, I ch. IW. "And it
shall :ome to pass that the wicked shall
flee to the mountains of Hcpsidam,
where the lion roareth and the whang
doodle mourncth for its first born."
John Robinson's circus exhibited
here on Monday. There was a good
attendance at both performances, not
withstanding there is sparely settled
country to "draw from." It is esti
mated that about 1,500 people were
present at the afternoon performance.
The exhibition was very good. The
menagerie was in fine shape and at
tracted the crowd.
The editor extends his profound
thanks to Mr. Steele, an attachee of
Robinson's menagerie and circus, for
courtesy shown on the morning previ
ous to the exhibition. We were shown
the animals and the history of each
one was given to us. We were much
entertained and highly gratified on this
proffered courtesy.
John W. Jones, who has a cattle
ranch south of this point killed two

Bat Masterson.
Cot Bat Masterson, swell known
character is the west, has discarded his
former illegitimate business and has
adopted newspaper writing as a pro
fession. While Col. Masterson's liter
ary effusioBS do not have moral or re
ligious tendencies, they are chaste pro
ductions in a literary way. The fine
artistic style in which CoL Bat wields
the pen is adding fame to his already
illustrious name. Col. Masterson is
now associate editor of the Ford
County Globe, and the last number of
that paper bears ample evidence oT this
statement The Globe has long need
ed a brainy editor, and the substitution
of brains for adipose tissue is certainly
commendable, and must be highly ap
preciated by the readers of that journal.
As a newspaper writer Bat is gaining
distinction.

According to the report published in
the Kansas City Journal, in every
practical analytical test made of the
common sorghum-cane and sugar cane,
of the West Indies (the class common
ly grown in Louisiana), the sorghum
has proven to be superior in saccharine
qualities. The saccharine principle of
sugar and sorghum is not .taken from
the earth, but it is absorbed from the
atmosphere. The crystal or ordinary
brown sugar from the sorghum cane,
examined through a microscope, shows
every crvstal to be clear as glass, three
cornered and pointed also prismatic.
It will turn out a greater per cent, df
white granulated sugar than any sugar
made by any other process.
Potatoes by the car load, fresh and

The ice men of this section are fear

ter. An open winter is confidently pre
dicted, and anticipatory thereto the re
mains of last winter's crop is sparingly
used and saved. The reason assigned
is that when the sun crossed the line a
few days ago the wind was directly in
the south, and they assert that it is an
old and never-failing saying that what
ever direction the wind takes on such a
day such will be its prevailing direction
for the next six months to come.

Plumb in Chicago.
Senator Plumb was among the state
fair visitors to the city. I came ou
him as he stood, one foot in the gutter
and the other on the curb, insisting
that New England men didn't know
what Kansas wool-growers wanted.
The Senator shook hands with me, said
he remembered me quite well, met me
in Topeka, or Leavenworth, or Wash
ington, he didn't know nor didn't care
which, but he wanted to call my atten
tion to unconscious bursts of speed on
the part of Chicago pedestrians when
they heard a bell ring. I explained
that the bell was a warning that the
bridge was going to turn, and that when
they heard the preliminary tap people
ran to get across.
Mr. Plumb, when you see him at a
little distance, looks like a boy with a
prevailing disposition to drop you a sly
wink, but the distance does him injus
tice because st close range his face has
saatamty, age and strength. And when
he discovered that the Chicago horses
attached to street ears or wsgons broke,
without srgiag, isto a gallop at the
sound of the waraisg top of the bridge
bell, and that they seemed to enjoy the
scramble as much as the men and wo
men, he said he had light on, some of
Davis' eccentricities that he never could
acconnt for before. Tntcr-Ocesm.
A SCRAP OF HISTORY.
Beaerfpttea of right with Beapcxav
iftea Yean Aa.
From the Laramie Boomerang.
October 18, 1863, will be remember
ed by all the old pioneers of Laramie
as a most momentous one in her his
tory. Fifteen, years ago the moral
element of the then little frontier town
asserted itself and four human lives
were offered up on the alter of law and
order, with most gratifying results.
At that time there was no such thing
as law at least, no such thing as what
we now term as law in Laramie. Men
settled their difficulties by resorting to
the revolver or knife, and in those
personal hand-to-hand encounters the
victors were usually the heroes of the
hour the victims were hurried under
the ground and no questions asked.
Robbery and garroting were of daily
occurrence, and murder not unfrequent.
There gradually arose in the midst of
the better portion of the people a feel
ing of uneasiness and fear for their
safety. Steps were soon taken to or
ganize a Vigilance Committee, and the
first organization of this character was
perfected in August and numbered at
this time only twenty members. In
the new city directory, which will make
its appearance next week, we find,
under the head' of "Early History," a
well-written description of the work of
this and a subsequently organized com
mittee, together .with a graphic pen
picture of the fight with the despera
does and subsequent lynching of four
of their number. October 18, 1868
Fifteen years ago to-day. From ad
vance sheets of this forthcoming work,
kindly furnished us by the compilers,
Messrs. Garrett & Morgan, we make
the following extracts:
There were a few worthy and very
resolute men in this first vigilante or
ganization, but its only substantial
fruit was the hanging of a young man
called 'Kid" during the last days of
August, in the building occupied as a
residence for borne years afterward by
our worthy townsman, John Keen. But
the hanging of this miserable, insigni
ficant creature created an excitement
among the roughs, and they at once
organized thoroughly not only for re
sistance, but for aggressive movement;
They boasted of their strength, and
threatened all who dared complain of
their misdeeds with vengenee dire!
Among the leaders of the roughs may
be mentioned Con Wagner, Asa Moore,
Big Ned, Sam Dugan. Tiger Bill, Mor
ris Kohu and Dave Mullen.
Their organization and their daily
crimes finally united all the better ele
ments of our society, and in a very
short time a new vigilance committee
was formed, numbering 300 to 500
men. These men were all thoroughly
armed, and on the night of the 18th of
October, 1868 a day long to be re
membered by the old residents of Lara
mie this committee met at an ap
pointed place on the west side of the
railroad track, in the city, and divided
into squads and proceeded to different
parts of the town. It was the inten
tion to make a descent at precisely the
gitine moment on all the most promi
uent gambling hells in the town, and
take out without any great disturbance
some of the most noted murderers and
and robbers, and quietly hang thtm be
fore their companions could rally suffi
cient force to rescue them. But fate
had ordained otherwise. The squad of
men assigned to the dance-house known
as the "Belle of the West" gathered
around the doors of the same a bril
liantly lighted hall fiilled with dancers.
Gaudily dressed women, gamblers and
desperadoes were whirling through the
intricate maze of the dance, their nim
ble feet keeping time to sweet music,
which floated iu ravishing strains upon
the evening air, and ever and anon a
burst of merriment would fill the room,
in which were mingled the silvery dul
cent tones of woman's voice, "fair,
though frail, -et women still." The
saturnalian festival was at its height
when a pistol shot, loud and clear, rang
out upon the night air. This shot was
the signal for a simultaneous attack at
several points in the town, but owing to
some undue excitement with this part
of the committee, the signal was pre
mature, and the attack was made at
this point only. But at the signal, a
shout, a rush, and it was confusion.
The roughs, being well armed, resisted
the attack of the vigilantes with des
peration, and fought like tigers driven
to bay.
What a scene was there, where but
a few minutes before all was gayety.
The sweet strains of melody were hush
ed, and in their stead came harsh, dis
cordant sounds, tumultuous, wild and
prophetic of doom to the desperado.
For fifteen minutes the sharp crack
from the deadly revolvers made music
to the weeping and wailing of the
women, and the shouts and muttered
curses of the men. The sniqke from
the pistols gathered in a cloud, and
hung like a pall over the heads of the
doomed, as if to shut out from the sight
of the angels the dark scene below. The
roughs were overpowered, and the re
sults were three men killed one of the
committee, one a member of the band
of music, and one a noted desperado
and about fifteen men wounded, some
quite seriously, and three of the leading
roughs, Con Wagner, Asa Moore and
Big Ned were taken from the place and
hung at the same place where the "Kid' '
was hung in August About sun rise
the next morning Big Steve, another
noted robber and murderer, was captur
ed and hung to a telegraph pole near
where South B street crosses the rail
road track.
The lesson thus taught 'the hard
characters who infested the city was
heeded. Within a very few days the
larger portion or the roughs left for
"fairer fields and pastures new," while
others joined the vigilantes and became
the most rampant and blatant advocates
of order, virtue and honesty.
The vigilance committee, as originally
formed, had now served its chief pur
pose in ridding the town of its worst
characters, and a majority of the really
good men in the committee soon dropped
out of the organization. This, of course,
left it to a lanro -desree in the hand" of
unscrupulous, bad men. whose chief
object was revenge. They could,
under guise of public protectors and
avengers of public wrongs, murder
wiuir jn:nH)Dai enemies ana go unwnip
ped of justice. Those now living in
Laramie who were anion er the residents
of the town during the first year of its
existence are unanimous in the declara
tion of a sincere wish that it may never
again be their misfortune to live under
such trying and Iterrible circumstances.
