Too much piais? cannot be heap

people for the promptness with
which he has dispatched business at
the present term of court and for
the arrangement of his docket. The
machinery of court lias glided along

could not find room for complaint.
Warden Marxuaduke has re voked
an old order to the effect that pris

papers. This is a sensible and hu
ujuie decision. We do not see how
any harm can result from allowing
convicts to read newspapers and it
will certainly not interfere with the
discipline of the prison. The old or

to consider the proposmous uunw
by Mr. Tierman, of Ft. Scott and
Mr. J. K. Williams, representing the
American Water works and Guaran
tee Co. Both propositions were
carefully examined and considered of
the councd and after due dehberat
ion and making some important
changes in the interets of the city
decided unanimously to accept the
proposition offered by the American
Water works and Gaurantee Co.,
and submit the same to a rote by
the people at the earliest possible
moment
The ordinance which we publish
in full in another place in this paper
is quite lengthy and covers the whole
ground and by reading it you will
find that it is as fair a proposition
as the people of this city could ask.
The company agree t put 111 six
miles of main within the city limits
and ninety hydrants. The water
m. j
will be drawn from the Miama, and
for private use will le thoroughly
'filtered. On a test and for fire pro
tection they agree to throw at the
same time six streams of water one
hundred feet high, with a capacity
of 1,200 gallons per minute. They
further agree that the cost of water
for family use in four rooms shall
not exceed 0 tier rear. A water
tower of steel plate li feet in diame
ter and loO feet high will be placed
in the city. The citv is to have four
a.
public, hydrants on the square
and free water for the public build
ings, churches. Ac.
Upon the whole we think the
council has done well for the city,
ami should the people accept the or
tlinance (and we have every reason
to lelieve they will) will have 11 sys
tem far superior to any of our sister
towns around us. Head the ordi
nance carefullv and when the time
for action arrives let us march to
the polls and carry the same by ac
clamation.

EtBtM City Timet.
Baldwin, Kan., Juue 22. We have
read and here make public our em
phatic endorsement of Comrade
Whitehead's letter to Tuttle in the
Times of the 19th.
We are sick and tired of this abom
inable attempt to make the G. A. It.
do such degraded service. It has
been done too often in the past by
partisan cranks who sit on the G. A.
R. like big fat flies on the head of an
empty sugar cask, feeding on what
sugar is left since the war." Our
hope now is that this hist exhibition
of folly unutterable, will end all this
forever in the United States.
The puerile anathemas of "Grand
Commanders" Fairchild. Tuttle, et
al., calling upon God to pulverize.
wralyze and jam somebody up o-eu-
erally. awakens a disgust inexpressi
ble throughout the country. All who
are not laughing are holding their
noses, these ".crand coiiininniW'
seem to go further than be-nt in a
.langerous tlirection. even proud of
the odious distinction of being ac
cessary to assassination before the
act.
The unpatriotic, disgraceful, dis
reputable utterances of these men
against the brave, true man who is
president marks them as unworthy of
their time and country. Under th
blessed ministry of peace, harmony
and democracy, the people of this
great republic are coming together
laily into "a more ierfWt mil. "

MUCn PORK GONE.
3Iany Millions of Pounds of Hog Pro
darts Ruined.
The Loss Considerably Over a Million
Dollar.
Chicago, 111., June 36. Early this
morning one of the employes of the
Chicago packing and provision com
pany at the Union stock-yards, elis
covered fire in the tank room, and in
a few moments one of the tanks ex
ploded, scattering burning lard over
the adjacent buildings, and a dozen
seperate fires were soon competing
with each other in the destruction of
the immense establishment. Though
the fire was struck out this evening
fourteen and one quarter hours after
it started the smoldering embers
continued to laden the air with the
fumes of roast pork, and a five-acre
oven will remain on the premises
red-hot for at least a couple of days.
The Chicago packing and pro
vision company's works occupy six
acres of ground, but the fire was
kept within the district bounded by
Fortieth street, Central avenue,
Forty-second street anil the railroad
tracks, a block west of Central Ave.
This territory contains four large
builelings.
The main building was 3001475
feet. In it a portion ef the killing
was done and the hanging, cutting,
curinc ami other work incidental te
a slaughtering establishment, exeept
curing, in a room in which were
about 19.000.000 pounds of short
ribs. The main building and its
conte nts are a total loss.
The curing room. 100x150 feet,
and four stories high, lost its reof,
but stone lire walls saved its con
tents, a portion of them in a rewsted
conditiem.
On the east side of the main build
ing was a warehouse. 120x400 feet,
four stories and a basement. The
two upper fioors at the south end
were useel for killing purposes. In
the warehouse were 17,000 barrels
of mess pork belonging to Armour
&. Co. The building and much of
the pork was wholly destroyed.
About 3,000 live hogs were in the
buihling when the fire started but
the company's employes succeeded
in getting most of them out. Be
tween 600 and 700 hogs were burn
ed alive in the building.
Back of the main buieling was a
fertilizing factory 100 feet sepiare
and the engine house 50 by 65 feet.
Both structures were burned com
pletely. The fact that no w ind was blow
ing when the fire started was prob
ably the only circumstance that sav
ed the entire stock yards from destruction.

Danville, 111. June 23. The follow
ing was received to-day:
Colonel Phocion Howard, Danville, 111.
Beauvoir, Miss., June 20. Dear
Sir: In answer to your letter of re
quest by the Danville farmers' anel
mechanics' iustitute that I should
deliver an address at its fair I reply
as I did last year: Some years ago I
delivered an address at the Winne
bago county fair, ami was received
with. great courtesy. There I was
among friends, for my memory went
back to the months of June, July and
August, 1 63 1, when as a lieu tenant
upon the staff of Colonel Zachary
Taylor I was stationed at Prairie Du
Chene Fort Crawford as it was
then known and during the memor
able and historic Black Hawk war, H
was my good fortune to help in pro
teeting the pioneer settlers of that
country whose descendants I spoke
to at Rockford. I cannot come to
Illine.is this year. Thanking the
association through you, I have only
to say. as I said last September in
tn open letter to Colonel J. T. Sharr
of BiJtihiore. that I deny the char- !
es made against me by General W. !
T. Sherman, in which he savs I was '
toremostm encouraging the late war.

did all in my power to prevent the
late war and that T i...v.- lo,,l-,..l f....

Escape of a Murderer.
Nebraska City, Neb., June 24.
The notorious murderer Quinn Bon
hannon who has been under sentence
of death but awaiting the decision of
the United States supreme court,
escaped from the county jail some
time last night and has not been
captured yet. He was put into his
cell last night and the doors were
all securely fastened, and everything
was in the same condition this morn
ing, but the prisoner was gone.
Severrl years ago Bohannon tried
to bribe a former jailor but was un
successful. He is one of the most
accomplished criminals in the west.
He was formely a member of the
noted M. C. Waters gang of noted
outlaws which terrorizeel Nebraska,
Kansas and ilissouri anel was leader
of the gang during the celebrated
penitentary revolt a number of years
ajro at which time M. C. Walters
lost his life.
is crediteel with the
of nearly every crime
He haskilled a number
of men the last one for which he
was under the eleath sentence, be
cause his victim eliffered with him
about spelling the word "peddler."
A rew ard ef .100 has been offered
for the fugitive's capture, but it is
doubtful if he will be taken alive.
Die-k Gloche, guard at the jail, was
arrested to night for assisting Boh
annon to escape, all the other pris
oners asserting that Gloche opened
the door anel they saw Bohannon
walk out about 9 o'clock last night
All for Cleveland
New York, June 24 Gen. A. B.
Upshavv, assistant commissioner ef
Indian Affairs, is at the Fifth avenue
hotel. "I have been through the
northern part of New York State,"
saiel the General, "and I am convinc
ed that Clevelanel will not only be
re-nominated, but will be re-elected.
I found a number of Republicans
who eleclared their intention of votin
for the present incumbent if they are
given an opportunity." The General
astonisheel a group of his friends by
giving the names of some well known
Republicans who were ready to go
over to Cleveland. "Oh, there is no
other man to nominate," said the
General, "and the second place is of
no consequence. Carlisle would not
accept the vice-presidential nomina
tion, ami it look now as though As
sistant Postmaster General Steven
son would get the second place, al
though Gen. Black would make a
strong run. Out through Kansas,
where I have been recently, there is
a wonderfully growing sentiment in
favor of a second term for the pres
ent well equippeel occupant of the
presidential chair."
