A Loot, who has just returned from that place, We learn tbe following particulars: About half oast eleven, o'clock, a -man applied to the aright operator, saying be wanted to send a dispatch." The operator, Mr. Brown, turned look at the tariff, when he wvs struck, over the head, and felled. At that moment two men- jumped in at the window and one' pointed a pistol at his breast demanded the 'key, to the money drawer, there being no safe, giving him three minutes in which to comply.

His own statement is that he was so mad that be cried at any rate, be was compelled to open the drawer, when hie iartnrs took about $700. They then compelled bim to accompany them about a mile to where horses were tied, snd, mounting, told him be might go home, which he did. The robbers bad destroyed the telegraph Instrument and he could not notify any one by that means, but on returning to the station he found tbe passenger train there in charge of J. E. Miller, conductor, who, with commendable presence of mind, at once detached the engine from the train and ran back to Mulvane and telegraphed to other points, in the hope of leading to the capture of the thieves.

Brown describee oneman as being about six feet hfch. wears a black nioustacbe. has a sharp eyetnd' was well'dressJsl In a black suit Another is abort and heavy-set woraa. light moustache, wore a blue flannel Wirt, and had a coarse rejcaF iv i Of the bills taken, one is of the denomi nation of $100, No. 14848, another $50, 14.204, another 450, 104,600, and the balance is in twenties, tens and fives.

Topaka, St. Paul Vilubca, Iowa, Oct 25. 1878. To the Sdltor of tne Commonwealth. Tour contributor, F.

in yor daily or the 23d instant canvasses tue rail-road outlook of Topeka. in. connection with the proposed stosions the Mil waukee St. Paul Railroad's Southwest ern lines, and proposes the formation of a company there to meet such extension at Creslou, Iowa. He states that De Moines is in the proposed ruute," Now, there exist' potent reaaona why a railroad will not be soon built between Des Moines and therefore F.

ever goes to Topeka, out of Iowa, a would or could find no better route than over this link. Tbe My ot the county, tbe course of the streauiH, the need of tbe country to be crossed for more railroad tacilities; everything, bearing on it conspire to show this to be tbe beat as well as tbe most direct route from Des Moines, forthal or any other company to Topeka. The route would follow the udoway Valley, trom the bead of the middle branch to this point and from here down the main valley until it debouches into the Missouri Kiver Valley. Thence across the Missouri River al or above While Tbe best route, everything considered, would be to enws some miles above Cloud, pass up the Numaha Valley to or utar Falls City, and thence ji Hiawatha and holton to Topeka. The P.

has not come to a lul- flilmenl of its informal enoburagementa to our local company as yet, and the franchises from here to Winters- are-open to be taken by the first strong company that will accept them. Now then Instead of the new company proposed by F. organized to build to C'reston, let it be to build into, through or to tbe foot of, this Nodaway alley at such point of crossing the Mis souri river, as is selected, and your company will then have the two great companies mentioned, if not the C.

as a third, to compete for its franchises. you would have the C. B. Q- as a competitor is evident from tbe fact that already has a bjanch in operation from this point down the Nodaway ever the State line into- Missouri, to Burjmgton Junction, where it taps tbe new St Louis, Chillicotbe Coun cil Blutfs road. If B.

Q. wants to reach Topeka oat of Iowa, theroan be no more natural and profitable route for it to do so than by pushing the branch over tbe Missouri river and down the Brown and Jackson County route Emphatically, then, it is all right to or ganize for a road In this direction, nut make the Nodaway Valleyita objective point instead of Creatoa. -XJ- OO.

Tbe carriers wnrk faithfully, as anyone who care to notice will readily aee, and tbey end raver to de liver the mail matter which goce to them promptly as the circumstances will per mit The long route compel them to be late sometimes, but on the other band, the vexations of waiting until thune in front of you at the delivery are waited upno, arriving at the postofhee too late on returning from work, or the long walk from a real. dence in a distant part of the city, are obviated.

The mail which is directed to yon reaches you surely, and in nine time out of ten, a soon or sooner than it would if you were compelled to go the office. So much for the carrier system. It is known that this was inaugurated In Topeka, because of the unusual or large sales of stamps, the increasing money order business, and the amount of mail which comes to a population of intelligent writing and reading people. The business standpoint upon which it was based is a large one. Now let as look at only a few instance, in a snort period of time, which will tend to show more clearly why Topeka and not other ci'iea, of nearly as aumeroas population, should enjoy the carrier system.

In 1878, when Cspt King was appointed Postmaster at Topeka, the number of money orders issued by the Postmaster at Lawrence, was fifteen thousand greater than were Issued at the Topeka Posiofiioe, al the same data. To-day the Topeka number is a boat two thousand seven hundred greater than the Lawrence number. Thus, Jttn Topeka office ha sold more than seventeen thousand two hundred more money order than Lawence. Atchison and Wichita issue more moth ey order than doe Lawrence. Ws carry on the comparison with Lawrence, simply because we started with it Leavenworth i now about two thousand ahead ot Topeka, but we are gaining on her very rapidly.

On Monday there were issued from the Topeka Postofflce one hundred money or. ders, amounting. In the aggregate, to 1,25. 33. The fees for the issaing of these orders were $8 85, which amount Mr, Cheaney, money order clerk.

Tbe boys run out of Hour. To meet the emergency, they crushed wheat in a corn cracker, and made graham meal ol the coarsest kiud. Of snch, this specimen of bread was made. Some time ago, Hon. Joe.

ToDeka societv has been most happily augmented by the ac cession of many valuable members. Whist has reached and maintained a wonderful popularity in Topeka, and there seems no prospect of a diminution in the interest taken in the game.

We have to suggest, therefore, that clubs compete for the cbauipinnsnip of the city. They are already formed, and the same players are partners as otten as twice or three times In a week. Let a score be kept of each game, say of fifty-one points, for one month. The pisyers who have oftenest made this number of poiuts shall then be entitled to the championship of the city. Then let the ciiam pious and the next beat players be pitted against each otber.

Sheriff Gardner, ot Wabaunsee County, yesterday lodged in jail a man named Ely Mecham, wbo was bound over to the Dis trict Court after his preliminary examina tion, to answer a charge of horse stealing. The horse was taken from a man named Doty, a resident of Wabaunsee County, and sold in Emporia for $45.

Doty recognized the animal at a livery stable and claimed him. Mecham, who sold the horse to the liveryman, was therefore arrested. There are 2,000 scholars enrolled in the Public Schools.

Mr. James M'ore as the perfectly stolid man and 6am Divison as tbe in their Men at Arms," brought down the house, as everybody knew tuty would when they appeared in that comic role. The Guards' Band and orchestra plsyed well and were highly com. plimented for their improvement since their last appearance in public.

Of course Major Tom Anderson and his staff came in for the lion's share of the applause, as applause is what they appeared for. Their negro melodies many of them new were called for again and aguin, and were sung in a manner creditable to any travel, ing minstrels in the country. The auli. ence thought that the '-chorus" would be in costume with burnt-cork attachment, and was grettly surprised to find twelve of the Guards dressed in spike-tail coats-, white gloves, eta, etc. The accent, however, was perfect, and to one behind the curtain it would have sounded very much like one negro singing with twelve other negroes assisting, him.

The staff is an honor to the chiet. It was composed of Barry Overboil, Hiram Alden, Will Caton, Frank Holliday, Wirt Walton, Jim Moore, Jim Rankin. Will Stagg, Ed Meade, Lou Dick, Del Valentine, and Charlie West. As a whole, the entertainment was first class, and helped wonderfully to fill op an otherwise rather quiet week socially.

Mies Cora Krrby then read an essay en titled, "First day of School." It was a well drawn picture and presented with considerable grace. Following this was an orilioa by L. T. Newcomb, who spoke well, but briefly on 'Superstition." An esssy on "Printing," by Georee Col lier, was then well rendered, showing a good knowledge of printers' terms, which made his production quite spicy and humorous. The quartette then rendered the beauti ful selection.

"Banish, oh, maiden, thy fears of to-morrow, Dash from thy cheek, love, tbe tear-drop ot sorrow." Miss A. L. Wilder delivered a recitation entitled "The Relief of Lucknow," which deservedly received much applause, her manner of address being aptly suited to the piece. Ctaa. K.

M. Vetter was then read, entitled "Uncle Amos," which was fall of humorous thought and quite imag- iuative. Geo. H. Perry afterwards delivered an oration upon the "Cause, Nature aud Kf- fect of the Negro Exodus." The Glee Club then sang in chorus patriotic melody, which was highly sppre.

elated by all present Mr. M. A. Henry, In an oration, spoke sensibly of "Croakers," aud many beneti cial maxims and thoughta were expressed in a brilliant manner. "Iconoclasts," an essay, by Miss M.

Sherrill, was both well prepared and de. livered. The final oration was given by A. J. De Hart, in a truly oratorical style.

His sub ject was, "Our Country," and the whole audience was thrilled with uts patriotic sentiments and polished thought. A duet. "I Heard a Voice," was then song by Miss Florence Fox and Mr. W. O.

Fox, being decidedly well received. Thereupon Dr. Mc Vicar, with few appropriate remarks, dismissed the audience, thanking them for their kind attention. The whole performance was undoubtedly a success, and the College faculty deserves much praise for their efficient work, In making this first ex. blbltion -one to be remembered.

Wl F. wing, County Clerk of Lyon County, g'snsssy defendant: The case is an original proceeding in mandamus to com pel the revy of Uio one mill tax for the State annual school fund, provided for by section 1, article 16, chapter 122, lawa of 1876.

The refusal levy was baaed upon the ground that the said section, authorizing this tax. Was not re pealed, by section 4, chanter 149, session laws of 1870, and, therefore, there is no law in force now providing for this The defendant, moved to quash. This brings np the question of law only, questions of fact all being waived or admitted. The Attorney-General holds that the section last referred to was not passed as the Constitution provides, and is void. He as signs two reason.

The first is, in brief the subject -matter of the section is not expressed in the title of the act Tbe second is that the hill, of which this was a section, contained more than one subject la his conducting remark, he say: "That clause in our State Constitution which limits laws to one subject is one of tbe wisest provisions of that instrument and tae courts should never, under any con ceivable circumstances, enforce or uphold a law or that part of a law which is passed In violation of it" Other and able attorneys take different views upon the subject and tbe decision ot the Supreme Court which will be rendered in a few days, will be received with interest HISTORICAL.

M. Kochers-perer, nne of the gentlemen in the Audi, tor's Department of the T. A 8. F. R.

who has become very popular among the young people of Topeka. The bride was Miss Rose Given, a charming young lady Just arrived from Philadelphia. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. G1U bert, in Mrs.

CAPITAL GUARDS' COHCEBT. From tbe band's first note from that splendid selection, the Bohemian Girl, to the last chord in the "Stalls" negro melodies, the music was pleasing. The audience was as large as ever appeared to weU coma any home organization and its frequent applsuse and encores showed it to be in perfect sympathy with the enter tainment. The military boys aasrredly have a right to teel proud of the access ot their opening entertainment. They not only fulfilled every promise made, but gave samuous to tne regular programme in respouse to frequent calls from their ap.

prscialive patrons. The concert was social as well as a financial success. Indi vidually the pans were well rendered. Miss Zella Nelll made a host of new friends by appearing as a compliment lo the company and by responding to re igned applause of her musical admirers. Her simple aud nnarfceu-d, although grace.

mi style ot singing, coupled with her wll ungness to sing selections for the popular ear rather than exhibit her rarer Dowersbv rendering classic music, makes her have a host of friends among those who never read a note, much less the music of a Mo zart or a Koeainni. Her "Last Rose of sung last Thursday night, was more rapturously applauded than any performance given on the Opera House stage for many seasons. Not only the Topekans generally will always welcome alias Weill's appearance. Ot the singing of Mrs. Crane, Mrs.

What we would like to be able to announce, and if these tew word have the effect we desire, shall do so, is that every man on tbe ticket is elected by substantially the same majority. We doo't want to at any break io the ranks of the Republican party in Shawnee County. Messrs. is brow and Miller are just as much entitled lu receive the vote of Republicans as are Memrs, Wood, Knight and the other candidate. They fairly received their nominations.

They are good citizens, and there is not a voter in the party but knows that their record is clean, and that they will make good officers. Don't let give the opposition a chance to brag and say that they have reduced tbe majorities on a portion of our ticket We don't ask any one to vote the whole ticket because there is danger that some of it may be beaten. There is not We ask it that the majorities may be uniform, aad for the good of the party in the future. Let us pat the seal of condemnation on those bolting a ticket fairly and honestly nominated. There is no earthly excuse for it, as every candid, rutbful man know.

Neither is there any excuse for a Republican voting for a man tor office because he claims to be a Republican, when is known that be has not acted with the party for years, snd is now one ot the Central Commltte of the Democratic party. Close up all around; give the whole ticket a square, honest support Let there be no scratching this year. Let as have a full Republican set of officials by at least 1,600 majority. This will give us a good start for the campaign of next year. From tha A'srthweat.

Ward Burlingaine was among the sr. rivals by the Kansas Pacific yesterday, returning from a week's sojourn at Concordia, where he has been giving special attention to tbe game birds of that section, under tbe guidance of "Jeff Jenkins, the well known and popular Receiver of I ho Land Office at that place. Mr. B. speak, in tbe highest terms of his host's liberal and considerate hospitality, and is not at all sur.

prised that be should be regarded as tbe most papular man in all that region of country. "Jeff" negotiates an occasional ml -ase trom official caiea, in order to eugare in field sports, of which he is passionately tontl. Our informant hesitates to estimate tbe amount of game slaughtered by bis friend in the course of a year, lest he should be charged with practicing on the credulity of the public Tbe aggregate, however, la something enormous.

Col. Dave. Williams ranks the party as a quail and gruuse ahiajter, while Jussrs. Bryson, Drake and Spaulding are well up in every department of fluid sports. Tbe last named is deep In tbe bond of a county canvass, and handicapped with wretched Democratic but ooe could almost wish tiiat so clever a fellow, and ihe owner such a dog as might be elected to something, once at least in every two years.

Judge Carnahan is a character whose tame is not confined within local limits, but extends to the very borders ot tbe State. While he remained steadiest in tbe Republican tatih, he Used occasionally to ornameut the Legislature, but since he hss strayed mm the fold, no politics! mission interferes with bis professional pursuits. At the present writing, he is struggling to prevent a npected client being sent to the penitentiary for stealing acow. The Judge is not a practical vportsman, but he can sit on the driver's seat and convey a world of sage advice to the more ambitious individuals plodding through the brush; and when the luncheon is spread, none more prompt aud vigorous than be. This was our informant's first visit to that portion of he speaks of it in tbe most commendatory terms.
