Near Colbrado Line, June 22.
I must
e
defr any farther account of
.
.ansas, and liriefly relate some fresher
- tatters.
I arrived at Sheridan, the western ter
,
,Inus of the Kansas Pacific Rail Way, last
rednesday. It is a •'queer medley of a
,
'Vial, one-third tents; another houses, and
le third third, cars used as dwellings,

~ by -the employes of
the railroad.
kirtin,, ,, the town there is always a large
isemblage of wagon trains from the
shisi . corralled temporarily,
.rhich adds'
. the already much mixed poPulation a
rge sprinkling of Mexicans, Pueblo In
ins, half breeds, )56c. This year a large
.sde is , being done with New Mexico,
rincipally in' wool,, which is exchanged 1
I. goods. The tact that of eleven per
ins buried' here, none died a natural
:ath, but all by murder, hanging, or sni
de is indicative of the morals_of the place.
The Indians are constantly infesting
.is vicinity. Hiving recently stampeded
ree hundred mules fromthe town itself,
.e citizen&of Sheridan sent a petition to
eneral Schofield so numerously signed
• : at the - General curtly answered that he
I ought there were enough of the peti
friers to defend themselves. r 'The guard,
is not been sent. North and east,of

red by the Indians; some of them em

feyennes. Mr. Schuyler, in charge of

KAN's Crriri Ho June 30, 1869.
Ills city is situated on the south bank
the Idbgiouri river, at the extreme west
,of. the State. It's site was well
. ough for "Westport Landing," as it
originally called, when Westport
:s only a way station on the great high
• y from Independence to Santa Fe; but
labor required to adapt its uneven
•
face to the purposes of a populous
4•-n was incalculable. To cut streets
iough the, solid bluff from twenty
ififty feet perpendicular was an im
p:lse task for tax-payers; but with the
et cut and graded there remains the
• , Id bank of earth, out of which any
proposing to build must begin by ex
sting his lot. Difficulties like this
.Ve hardly, retarded the growth of the
Spite of them, its population in
•lased Iro 8 , 700 in 1846 to 5,000 in 1857,
~3 over 7, 1 1 i in 1858. r It has been esti
. .ted that the same rate 'of increase
. ough.the war that was maintained up
1 . 801 , - W,Oldlieve Made the population
:168 not lees than 60,000. The most
estimates make it at present a little
- Cr 32,000. • •
This city suffered severely during the
a. from the disorder in the neighboring
.antics. Here . was a regular border '
'dtrfarer between rebel bushwhackers
guerillas and Kansas red-legs, to keep
'a state of terrorism. Agriculture was
l r .ll nigh suppressed, and trade with
arge extent of country was actually
Populated under the orders of the Fed

their souls delight in.
Seven railroads center in Karis'as City,
all now in operation and convergiog from
every direction. Two lead direct to St.
Louis on opposite sides of the river. Two
in the same way to Leavenworth. One
to Cameron, and the H. & St. J. R. It.
and so on to Quincy and Chicago.' The?
Kansas Pacific runs Denverwards, and
last is the Fort Scott road, which looks
towards Galveston and traverses one of
the finest farming regions in the world.
The new bridge just.cbmpleted and to
be formally inaugurated July 3d puts the
city in direct railroad connection with the
East without a single transfer.
Nearly all, if not all, these roads tra
verse extensive coal regions, which must
at no very remote period render this a
capital manufacturing point. The needs
of an'immense agricultural region might
be supplied from here, and men looking
for investments of this kind will mee4 a
hearty welcoine. The extension of the
Fort Scott Road to the line of the Indian°
territory will open extensive forests of,
'timber, which will naturally find its •waY
to this market, and promises to makean
important business. Texas_ cattle will
also find their' way here, and - t h is not im
probable that in a very fewyears the beef
and pork interests in Kansas City may be
second in amount to4hose of no city , in
)
the. Union. -
Kansas City 4 ntai 7
ns half a dozen banks,
four newspaper offices (three, daily) and
some flfteen or twenty churches. One'.of
thes”apers, the Evening Bulletin, was
burned on the 28th insti, at a heavy loss

hotels, of which the Pacific is the , best.
Farther up on the hill Is anew one, which
looks "capacious ennugh to ttike in the
next generation," but not yet christened
nor opened.
`Westport. foin^ miles south, once import
ant as the headquarters of border ruffian
ism, is now an insignificant suburb of
, what was once its landing. North of the
river is Harlem, which has sprung up as a
I home for bridge and railroad bands, the
site is low, unhealthy and subject to over
flow, and is not likely to be permanently
occupied for a town.
No visitor to Kansas City -will fail to
notice the stone from Junction City,
Kea, so much employed in the newer
buildings. When fresh from the quarry,
it can be dressed with Ordinary carpen
ters' tools, and• hardening by exposure it
makes a solid and durable wall. The fa
cility with which it is ornamented leads
builders to use it freely, and makes it of
-immense value to the towns which have
access to it. The building now erecting
for the First National Bank of Kansas
City will be one of: the handsomest edl
sfices of its kind in the Country, being en
tirely -of this stone, white as marble, and
most elaborately ornamented.. An estab.
lishment here where the stone is sawed
with circular saws, planed, and altogether
handled•as if it were anything but stone,
will welrrepay a visit.

at the same tithe. Theycleanse the stomach, re
lax tile llvor audput it to work; they the appetite
becomes good;•the foul digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow in flesh; the
duseased matter ripens into the lunge, and the
Vettent Outgrows the disease and gem well. This
is the only
three medicines umption. \ -
To these Dr..V. H. Sehenek, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success the
treatment of pulmonary Consumption. The.Pul
monle Syrup ripens the morbid - matter in the
iungs, naiure tbrovrs It off by au ea,y. expectora-
Hon, for. when the phlegm or matter is ripe a'
ellaht cough w throw It of. and the patient has
rest and the lunge begin to heal.
Tt do this, the teuwet d onlc end Mandrake
Pills ust be reel used to cleanse the stomach
and li m ver., so f that y
the Pulmonlc Syrup and the
food will make good blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act•upon the liver,
removing all obstructions. relax the clues of the
gall bladder, the bile starts freely. and the liver
is soon relieved; the stools will show what the
Pills can do; nothing has ever been invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly po'son welch Is very- dan
gerous to use muesli with great care,) that will
unlock the gall bladder and start the secretions
of the liver like Scheuck.'s 3landrake Pills. •
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption.
Schenck 's Seaweed Ton alkali ntle stimulant
'and al teratlne. and the ln the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made at, assists the
stomach to turow out the gastric juice to dissolve
the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made
In

In the • -
the great reason why physicians do not care
Consumption is, they try to do too tazuchrthey
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to
stop night sweats, hectic feVer, and

they derange the . whole digestive l, lock
ing up the secret:ons, and enntually the patient
sinks and dies. . ",
Dr. Schenck, In his treatment, does not, try ße. stop a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. He
move the cause, and tucy will all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of Consump
tion,' Liver Complaint, Dytpepsia, Catarrh,

In some way are diseased, eitner tubercles,
abcesses, bronchial irritation , pleura adhesion,
or the lungs are a mass of inflammation and fast
decay lag. In such cases what must be dome It
la not only the Mugs - tnat are wasting, but it is
the whole body. The stomach and liver have lost
their pto takeood but of fo d. Now the
only chance Is toDr. Schenck'a three medi
clries, which will bring up a tons to the stomach,
the patient will begin to want food, it will digest
easily and make good blood; tben the patient ne
vus to gain inliesh. and as soon as the body be
gins to grow. the lungs commence to heals p,
and the patient gets Beatty and well. This is tne
'only way to cure Consumption.
When there is no lung disease and only liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck 'a Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient, a ithout
'the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mane rake Pills
freely in ad billions complaints, as they are per
fectly harmless. • -
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs Miall
pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in
the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumptloa,
hi. physicians having pronounced his case hope
less and abandoned h.m to his fate. He was cared
by the aforesaid met icines, and since his recove
