In all parts of our fair land they have gathered and bestrewed the sol ulation which now fills many portions of our country west of the Rocky Moun Lhavknwouth, May 22, 1805.

A new born babe was found In a cyclone coller In Wellington the other day, and tho mother, a Mrs. Eliza Jano Shayor was arrested in Argonia, taken to Wellington before a Justice of tho Peace upon a complaint chnrglng her with abandoning hor child that it mightdio. The punishment for this offense rangos from six months to fiva years In the stale penitentiary. She talks freely about the matter am! about herself.

She says she was born in Kentucky; that her husband floral offerings, have listened to loyal speeches and eloquent tributes, tho turist and the horticulturist, as well as liquor interests of the country.

Governor Morrill has beeu criticised severely the past few weeks for having declared that the prohibitory law cannot be enforced where there is no prohibition sentiment. It is unfortunate that tho chief executive should have madesuch a statement until, at least, he had exhausted every effort and every resource to compel the enforcement of the law. And yet it Is too near the truth to warrant any very bitter condemnation of it.

What are you going to do when men some time wish hud stayed in Missouri and not invaded our peaceful city with their agitation society. There is no need of Buch a society in this city. It will do no good, but much evil. Good men with honest intentions join it, and and allow themselves to become carried away by its fanatical principles and objects. It stirs up antagonisms and divides our citizens into classes.

It disrubts our social, business urana Army ot mo uoputmo in re- doing the Republican party of Kansas. what so intelligent a statesman as Daniel Webster thought of them just membenuiee of our fallen heroes you nave sain about all tho moan things about Leavenworth that you fifty years ago, and to know that his Wichita was not behind in doing views were shared by many other prom honor to their sabred memory.
