Since the aocountiueut appeared it has had a favorable ttfecL Iuoendarie stopped, the journals that had ueuianOed extreme measures of the Union have become kiuiet in lone, aud the law was takiug its course with Ise leading agitation sad everything appeared to be progtessing towards petcetul setllemeai with-the Union.

He showed that the department recommenced their removal to the Omaha Reservation, where they wished to go, and that Congress had directed their removal to Uie luoian Territory, conditioned upon their consent, and the department felt obliged to obey the law although in contravention of treaty stipulations, because tue United States Supreme Court in the Cberckee tobacco case, decided that a treaty may be supcTaceued by act of Congress, and that an "Act ot Conitress" of date subsequent to the treaty must prevail as it the trea'y was not an element to be conr idered. Be ing asked whether the Poncas consent was given, he replied: "Hardly such consent as I myself should wish to be received under."

Whiting, an attache ol the Relief iu the nbeence of Col. Uiown in charge of the hole reliif business, called yesterday to stale the facts in relation to au item in yesterdy's paper, which stated on the authority of CoL, Stanton that the Relief Board had refused to pay the fare of a party of live or six who desired to go to Kansas City. Wr. Whiting says that ubout six or eight weeks ago Ibis party was fitted out with food clothing and some provisions and plat es tound for them to work at Wa- mego, and they were sent there. On last Friday or Saturdsy, Mr.

Whiting iound the party at the Barracks aud ordered them to leave. They wanted more clothing and to' have their fare paid to Dunlap. He told them that he bad once fitted them out and got them work, and that thiy must now work for themselves that the Board could not aud would not furnish means to keep them traveling over the State. Meanwhile their baggage was on the platlorm at the Palace Hotel, and we presume Colonel Stanton did not like to have it lay there. At any rate, it seems that the negroes told him that they wished to go to Kansas City.

Then Col. Stanton weut to the rooms of the assentation and asked that their tare be paid to Kansas City. Mr. Whiting was not in and "he was answered by a clerk in charge, either that nothing would be done for that party, or until the matter be investigated. As soon as Mr.

Whiting was informed that they wanted tu go out of the Slate, be furnished them with tickets to do so. He says he has never retused to help men out of the State, except when he had reason to believe that they were going tor the purpose of coming back and perhaps bringing more with them. There are unprincipled and unscrupulous black as well as white men, and all manner of jobs are put up to get passes, clothing, by those not entitled to iL Mr. Whiting informs us that the nnnitx at Ihe Barracks varies from 250 to 500, and that unless sick they are kept there but a short time. Every effort is made to get them into the country and other States, where there is demand.

There are a few sick wnm-n and children, who have been there ail winter It was necessary to let them stay, or send them to the Shawnee County Poor Hous Outside ot the sick and decrepit, the committee manage to get them out about as last as ihey come. This question is a serious one. The negroes are leaving the South, and in spite of all the efforts made by and ia behalf of this committee to stop it, or 1 divert them to other Slates, they continue to come. Under these circumstances, the Board use their best efforts with the means placed at its disposal, to get places for these people. But for the Board.Shawnee County would have bad to expend a great many thousands of dollars during the past year.

The negroes are coming and they "are going to. keep We have no power to stop it. This Relief Board have acted as hotRtty dictated and haye accomplished what was possible. This is oue of ihe great economical and political questions of the day. We do not propose to discuss it at this time.

Woods, minor, DEATH OF UUIDOHE MILLS. gome Notes on the Lire of aa OU Cltisea of Topeka. Another of the pioneer resident of died on Monday, and although his was not unexpected, it is none the less mourned by his family and Intimate friends, and regretted by all "who knew bim. We refer to Theodore Mills, who died at twenty minutes before nipe o'clock on Mo iday morning. He had been sick it many months, in fact, more than a year has elapsed since he has been able to be i oat of the bouse.

The change from tile to death was very peaceful, and as painless as going to sl--ep. Mr. Milis was born in the city of Albany, New York, September 17th, 1812, and was consequently in the sixty-eighth year of his life. He was the second son of Colonel John Mills, an officer in the war of 1813, who received a mortal wound at the battle of Sarkelt's Harbor, on the morning of the 29th of May, 1813, while attempting to rally his men. The subject of this sketch received a liberal education, and attended the Military School at West PoinL During the Mexican war lie volunteered his services to the Government, aud joined lonel Chapman's regiment of Ohio Volunteers.

He was commissioned Ad jutant by Governor Shannon, but peace was deciared betore the regiment left the Slate. Mr. Mills was married to Miss Eliza Bradt, of Duanesburg, Nsw York. December 18th, 1834 Of the seven children of this marriage, three are now living, as follows; Truman Mills, who resides in Old Mexico, and Theo. B.

Mills and John Mills, who reside at La-. Vegas, N. M. Mr. Mills removed to Topeka in 1857, aud has since resided here, being at all times one ol the most industrious of men, public-spirited aud highly esteemed.

He was a contractor and builder from his arrival in Topeka and most of the old buildings to be seen in (be city were erected by him. Several of the newer and handsomer ones were also built under his superintender.ee. The nret work he did was on the building at the northwest corner of Sixth Avenue and Clay Street, which was originaiiy three-stories high and in early days was known as "Home's Folly." with the building of which he bus bad to do are the Court House, the Sieater biil'diog, the Old State Row, the Esnis building, the T. fc S. F.

shops and the old Capitol and Insane Asylum. Mr. Mills was cfergeant at-Arm of the State Senate in 1865-6 a id has been more or less prominent in the local political issues during the last twei'ty-three years. His first wife died March 7, 1867, and in January, 1871, he married Miss EusfXa M. Bennett, daughter of El'j-sh lieu ne of Goodrich, Canada.

From this marriage have come two children, Frank, aged eiuht ye irs, aud Kiltie, aged seven years, both of whom are living wilh their mother In laic home. Mr. Mills bad friends among all classes of men with whom he had mingled ai the news ol this death will cause them 'o remem Iter anew the kind firm man who was ever just, always honorable aisu drawing friends to bim by the exercise these characteristics. We have not received any information re garding the time for the funeral. A Oood ijuisesOou.

The following suggestion explains itself: Ellsworth, Kak, March 20, 1880. Hon. f. V. Bilker.

DtAit Sib: The General Statutes re quire the several agricultural societies to bold their annual meeting the second Tuesdr.y in April, for the election of offi cers, etc etc Eeh society will average seveniy-uve members, each member knows Alfred Gray," and all society officers know his work. I would suggest that each Secre tary be upplied with necessary blanks to start a Monumental Fuud, and that a portion of the money be reserved to pay the printer. All societies to take up the fund April 13th. J. Gooodnow Wiggis, Secretary Ellsworth County Agricultural and Mechanical Association.

The above is a good suggestion and we hope will be adopted. We see no ne cessity for blanks or any expense whatever connected with it. Just let the Secretary of each society make such collections as he can, not only among the members but others and remit the funds. There will be no expense whatever at this office, nor any expense for the design of the monument. It would be a good idea lor the Secretary of each society, and for everyone who feels an interest in the matter to canvass their localities for subscriptions.

Alt that is need -d to get a sufficient amount for a re spectful monument is to have the subject pressed. Almost any man will give from ten cents to a dollar who is asked to. Let each locality be canvassed. A Memorial Sermon. Rev.

The church was very appropriate ly and handsomely decorated lor the occa sion, lue cniiuren were reguiariy at church, iu lite time, and the pew they had (axupied was filled with beautiful flowers, both cut and growing. Above and behind the pew were the words, "Suffer little children to come unto Me," done most ar tistically, in flowers.

On the organ, at which Fiofessor Slie presides, was a Sort cross, very handsome and very tastefully arranged, and on either side weie mottoes. whose letters were made of flowers. Stark's Biader.

Complete Description of the Depot and Building The Whole to be a Hand-soma and Substantial Building. In consideration of the long-felt necessity, the Board of Director of the above named Railroad Company, has resolved erect a new passenger depot at Topeka. worthy and creditable to the Capital of the State, and to arrange and lay the track as conveniently as possible for all passenger trains.

For this purpose the Board of Directors has petitioned the city to withdraw, as a public thoroughfare, the street leading on the west side along the depot, and to grant the right of laying the track on the same. In this way ihe new depot will be one block nearer to the city. A front vit" of the contemplated new depot, which was highly appreciated and extolled, was sub. milted to the Council, and a resolution passed in favor of Ihe The architect of the depot, Mr. H.

Von Langen, of Marion Centre, tormerly of Chicago, HI, was then instructed to fluish the plans and to commence the building as soon as possible, so that in the latter pa. of March the work will le begun, and the whole building be liuUhcd in the mouth ol July of the present year. The style of lue buiid.ng is Renaissance, and conceived throughout. Its inundations are to be raised above Uie ground three feel, six inches; between these it will contains cellar lor the restauran, together with a space ior aa ice house and elevator for the kitchen. Also a cellar lor coal lor the whole building, and the necessary drain pipes.

The nrst story of the main building is fourteen lect, inches high, measures 100 teet in length and 30 feet in depth. It has towards the city (west) side, as well as towards the track (east) projected middle risoliles, and the width of the center part is forty-one feet. On the north end is aa additional wing for kitchen and closet of seven leet depth and eighteen feet length. Next to this is the baggage room, onetury bif feet deep aud forty feet long. The second story of the main building is fourteen feet high in the dining room, and over Ihe kitchen the ceiling is only twelve feet high, to give a room for the watchman.

The rooms of the main building are ills- posed of as follws: In the first story of the main building are the two waiting rooms, oue lor ladies and one for gentlemen, ch thirty-four feet square, in the luidat of them the ticket room. From each ol thete waiting rooms four line double doors lead to the plailbrru where the trains are hailing, aud oue double door from each to tie vestibule on the front towards the city. Both waiting rooms are furnUhed with tire places and conveniences for water. A water-closet is attached to the ladies' waiting room. Ihe ticket room has two windows towards each of the two wailing rooms.

Between the back part of the ticket room aud the vesti bule is a closet six feet deep for tools. The ticket room has ou the east side a bay window, and north of this a broad and convenient stairway, for the accommoda tion of the restaurant, leads up into the sec ond 9tory. The stairway is ten feet wide. (As already mentioned, the stairway for the em ploy vs of the restaurant is in the addi tion.) The second story contains the large din ing room, 58 by 33 feet, on the south side, the lunch room, wilh room enough lor 40 persons, so that we enter by two double swinging doors, on the right the lunch room, on the left the dining room. A wash room (lavoir) is coeuected with the rooms, as also a buffet rootn, Jo secure the prompt attendance of the waiters.

This buffet room was arrauged after the sugges tions of the present restaurant keeper, Mr. Jeffries, and furnUhed in the latest and most convenient manner. At the unrtdwest end is the largo kitchen, 24 by 23 teet, wilh clesel, wash room, and pantry on the northeast end next to the lunch room. In the midst of all these rooms is com fortable clerk's room, from which everything is directed and managed wilh the greatest care. The city front has in the middle a turret itb a time dial, with concavs mansard root.

The main building has a demi- French straight mansard roof. The other parts ot the building have flat roofs, all covered with metal. The east front shows the inscription DEPOT of the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Rail road, and as the centre ornament the winged wheel in the armorial shield sur mounted by the American eagle. The south front contains Ihe inscrip tion 1830, DKI-OT RESTAURANT, TOPEKA. Material: The foundation and the coins, sills, cais, water table, belt course, etc are to be of Cottonwood stone.

The walls from St. Joseph or Kansas bricks: the main cornices from gal vauized iron. The joists of the upper story in each waiting room are to be supported by ornamental girders. Into the vestibule are leading by stone steps, three large glass folding doors. The platform is 400 feet long, 16 feet ide on the building, and 24 four feet north ol it, protected against rain through out its whole length by metal roof.

The plans were suggested by order of the Vice President, Mr. W. Strong, through the Division Superintendent, Mr. Lake, to baye been execu Lid with but few alterations. Those few alterations have been suggested by the Superintendent, Mr.

Strong, and other officers of the road. The whole buildicg will be a real orna ment to the Capiial City of our Slate, and to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, we accord the merit to encour1 age and elevate the art ot architecture, as well as to have gone forward in many other good and oeuencial movements.

These wells are to bo euuk as an expert naeiit upon the recommendation of scien tiric mi who have given the opinion that slich' wells will successfully inigate the pi tins and make them arrabieaod productive agricultural lands. If any reader of the Commoswkalth knows of an artesian weli flowing Well ia- Kansas, or of any attempt to sink -one, will he inform Mr. Smith through our columns? Mr. Smith says: Water is usually fnund on the creek bottom iu this vicinity, at depth of 35 leet, aud rise in lh well from from 2 lo 11 feet, on the uplands, at ail depths. Oue well has been sunk juct above the level ot the creek bottom, lo a depth of Hi teet, the water rising teet ia the hole.

This was on the northwest qnarter of section 27, township 18 south, range "20 west. Has this subject, claimed much attention Have any such- wells been sunk with success in tnis or any reciiou ot the Stater If the above weibj bad been sunk deeper, would they have flowed over the turtare?
