V a Utaf-1 s it. A good aaany boys and
young men consider it very smart to en
gage la acta of vandal Us. It matters
not who is iajnred if they have aoose
fua. During tha late oumTuenccment
exerdsoa at the Normal a gentleman's
horse and buggy were taken oa even
ing and used during the exercises ia
the hall. He found - his horse tied
aoma distance away from , where
he left him, and ao carelessly that
the animal might easily . have
brokea loose and done a good deal of
damage. The gentleman endeavored to
find out who took the liberty with hi
property, aad had he succeded would
have given the offender a lesson that
would have taught him to let other pro.
pie's property alone. Some daya ago a
lady sent, her little son to the river to
wash the buggy. A lot of large boys
happened along to take a swim.
They captured the buggy and
dragged it Into the deep water, broke
the ; dash board aad . Injured the
trimming and top to the amount of S35. '
There la no objection to an exercia of
the spirit of fun . among boy, but such
utter disregard of the rights and Inter,
eat of other simply show a lack of
principle which will lead to the com.
mission of more serious violation of law
if not checked. The owner of the bug.
gy could give the fun of the boy a vary
serious turn if he saw fit, and declare
he will not submit to a repetition of
such act of rascality

Commonwealth: W. F. White, the en
terprising and indefatigable passenger
agent of the A.. T. Jfc. S. F. railroad
company, ha devised a scheme and per
fected arrangements by which through
tickets are now sold at most stations
on the line of A., T. A S. F. to near
ly all the minor station of the east.
By the old coupon system, ticket were
old only to important places, and the
traveler had to pay local fare from such
point or boy a through ticket to some
large station beyond his destine
tion and stop off at an interme
diate station, thus paying for more than
he received. All this trouble, annoy.
ance and loss ia obviated by the new
system. . Passenger are ticketed clear
through to their destination. The form
of ticket ia extremely simple, and easily
understood, and the most careless travel
er will be less likely to be diverted from
his route than by the attempted study of
the complicated form heretofore in use.
The Santa Fe ia always foremost in in
augurating - improvements which are
likely to contribute to the convenience
and profit of the traveling public.

the show case, remarked : "By the wy,
Bird, would you have any objection to

committee of the State Temperance
Union met in this city thia week to
make arrangements for the National
Temjiemnce Enenmpmrnt to lie held at
Bismurk Grove from August 10th to 17th.
Among the speakers to be present are
Oen. Nenl Dow, of Maine, Congreasman
Updegraff.of Ohio, the eloquoal colored
temperance orator, Geo. S. Smith, of
North Carolina, Gen. Samuel F. Cttry,
of Ohio, Green Clay Smith, of Ken

and Mis Dickermao, of Ohio. The
music will be under the t-upcrvis-
ion of the renowned Phillip Phillips,
and Gov. HL John will preside. Ar
raiigcotculs are complete ;iid l!ic meet
ing will e.lipsu anything of the kind
ever held iu the west. The committee
have authentic information from every
section of the slate, that the prohihitory
law is being very generally observed ;
that in many counties there are abso
lutely no violations of the law, and that
throughout Uie entire slate the law is a
success. The committee is confident
that in a few town where the law is be
ing violated, convictions will folio
pending prosecution, and that soon pro
hibition will be absolute, even in the
larger cities. The committee deny that
there is any reaction in public senti
ment, but on the contrary that public
sentiment is growing in favor ol the
law.
Notes af Travel.
Garnett is improving this season. The
late burnt district is being built up with
good brick and stone buildings. The
hotel are being improved ; the Baptists
are just completing a new church ; the
Methodist are building an addition and
tower to theirs ; the United Presbyterians
are preparing to build a new edifice, and
there are a number of new residences
going up. The prospect of a new rail
road, is creating some excitement in
town and country. The farmer around
are fighting weeds and grass with a will,
Ottawa is a beautiful little city. Her
broad streets, fine residences and bcauti-
ful tree attract the attention of the
traveling public at once. The business
street Is adorned with a number of fine
two and three story blocks. There are
some substantial improvements going on
now. The farmers in the vicinity are
complaining of the almost constant rain,
Some of the corn on the low lauds is
really drowned out. .
Williamsburg is having a mineral
well excitement. Rev. S. E. Pendleton
has leased the well and proposes to erect
buildings and invite the afflicted to the
healing waters. Thus one by one our
ministers are being drawn off into secu
lar matters. I hope they may make
money, and keep out of trouble and
save themselves from the love of "filthy
lucre." C. R.R.
What Emporia Needs.
In view of the very patent fact that
Emporia cannot hope to maintain her
present degree of prosperity without
some permanent manufacturing interests
which will afford employment to her
present population and invite accession
thereto, and calling to mind that a can
ning factory has been frequently men
tioned in connection wtth the prospective
industries of the city, we take pleasure
in reproducing what is said by a Chili
cothe correspondent of the Ohio State
Journal in relation to an establishment
of that kind located at the above men
tioned place :
"A new feature in industry here is
worthy of note. D. W. Archer & Co
one year ago in the grocery business,
corner of Town and Fourth street, Co
lumbus, are now here extensively en
gaged in the lruit canning business.
They began late last year, and did not do
much more than make an experimental
effort, although t an extent sufficient to
warrant a vigorous prosecution of the
work this year. They have had about
fifty boys and girls making cans all
the spring, and now haven stock of over
one million. They have about 150 acres
of peas, 50 of beans, 50 of pump
kins, 400 of sweet corn, 200 of
tomatoes, and expect to handle
many thousand bushels of ber
ries ot various kinds, of which portions
of this county abound. During the ac
tive or packing season, they will employ
fully 800 band. They receive their
sheet tin by the car-load, and all the
work, even to the making of their packing-boxes,
is done on their own grounds.
Last year they shipped fifty -five car-loads,
thirteen of which were blackberries,
mainly to the Chicago market.
Going hurriedly through the buildings
where all this work is going on, I confess
I was astonished. It looked to me as
though our friends must have an army
contract, and all to be ted on canned
fruit. With no ill luck they, will ship
200 car-load out of thia city thia year."
Everything, it seems to us, point to
the feasibility of such an industry in
Emporia. We are in the midst of a
superb fruit country, the product of
which in plentiful years goes to waste
by the wagon-load; all sort of vege
tables grow in this vicinity in the greatest
abundance ; we have the very best facil
ities for transportation and the towns
and cities and mining camp of Colora
do and New Mexico afford a prime
market for tons of the class of goods in
question.
The New ha again and again called
the attention of our capitalist and bus!
ness men to the necessity of establishing
permanent industries in this city which
will afford employment to labor and
thus stimulate trade in all of its branches,
and we earnestly hope that another
season will not be allowed to pass with
out taking some decisive step ia this
direction. Let us have a canning fac
tory by next spring, by all means.
Three or four car loads of St. Louis
beer are transferred from the Missouri
Pacific to the Santa Fe almost every
dsy at the junction. It generally goes
to Dodge City and other towus in the
western part of the state.

most every state. Their method has
been to bid off a route at a much lower
price than that for which the service can
be performed. They then get some par
ly to carry the mail tor a
ume, ana men ui row up me
contract. If the business was
honestly managed, the contract wonld
then be awarded to the next highest bid
der, but instead of this, the ring haa
oecn atie to maae an arrangement by
which some one representing it is em
ployed to periorm the service tempor
amy, ana finally a price, very
largely in excess or a fair compen
sation, is nxed for the service during
the entire period. It is said that the ring
controls routes in all parts of the coun
try, and that one or the representative
has recently been in Maine and other
Eastern Slates, looking up routes, for
the service oi which they would have bid
at the pending letting but for the pres
ent catastrophe. isoston journal.
