A more beautiful country is not to be tound but to ‘ny as Bates county. Herds of cattle team on the praries, and coal de- velopments are extensively operated Topeka, with a station about every three miles apart. Betore Dodge City is reached un- mistakable mgns ot poer, werthiess country is manifest.

We, inadvertently, omitted to ne- tice Judge Gantt’s charge to the grand jury, in issue et last week. o Atter aplain aad concise expla- nation of the nature aad obligations of the oath they have taken, the Judge briefly pointed te them the important relation they bore te the public and the crimes committed against the public. He impressed on the jury, the fact, that ne teleny could be punished witheut their in- tervention. He charged them especially on the dram shop act, insisting that a faithful enforcement of the present {law would reheve the state of many ot the evils ot intemperance.

Said he, it 1s yourduty to ferret eut punish this offence while it is vet a misdemeanor and aveid the | the herrors of a murder, and costs and excitement of murder trials. He also charges the jury as to their duty to examine the jal. He reminded the iury that persons, merely charged with crime, were }not put in jail as punishment but merely for safe keeping and it was the duty of the state and county to furnish safe and healthy prisons tor all its prisoners. He gave them aslo specially in charge sect. 1642, which make it a misdemeaner, punishable by for- j | town, or.township officer to be in- | toxicated while in the performance | of his official duty. | The Judge alse charged them | specially in regard to exammming all | puvlic offices and books.
