Kansas Coxtested Seat. The action of the, House npon the contested election case of Delegates from . Kansas, has resulted in the re jectioh of both Whitfield and Beedeb. The consequence will be that a new election will be held as soon as practicable. It is certain that Whitfield will again be a candidate. It is rumored that Reedeb will not. We are. however, of the opinion that the race will again be "by the. same nags. We call the attention of travelers to the card of the Palmer House, Indianopolis, Ind. This popular House, for a time closed, has been re-opened, under favorable circumstances and increased energy, under the care of Dr. Baebocr. We. notice that our old friend, J. F.

On re turning to our horses, our attention wai drawn towards some new stakes, which by inquiry we ascertained to be stations, on the line of tho new military road, just completed by Captain Dickinson and his engineering corps, between Omaha City and New Fort Kearney, a distance of one hundred and eighty miles, at an expense of, probably," thousands of dollars whilst one of our western field surveyors, would have lo cated the road for aa many hundreds. The road passes up on the north side -of the Platte river, through Elkhorn -City, 'North Bend, Buchanan and Columbus, at the . Ferry on Loup Fork. - The probability is that they will proceed immediately to improve the crossings of all the streams on the route, and expend the money appropriated for the road. From the business commencing in Omaha, in the way of Agencies, Mercantile and Me chanical occupations, it will certainly pro ee profitable to the printer, in the advertising pat ronage, whilst some, of those who are now commencing with high hopes, will eventually find that all is not gold that shines, and others will realize ease and independence, and others fortunes, credit and honor everlasting. Property has risen in value very rapidly, since "tie adjournment of the Legislature.

Thia rtmarkablj Mill has been kept secured to the inventor by caveat recently, However, (June 2tn, lSi.) Letlsr. latent for the United States have been sitiTiied, se curing the invention for fourteen yoars. This Mill has sustained itself Vi'-rrcver it has been brought in to comrrtitioa with other Mills. It was run against UiC other make of Mill j of cur city, at the Ohio State lair, in lSol), when it drew & diploma aa the best Corn Mill, and was awarded a finc'silver medal. Of these Milla we manufacture five sizes for eora. and three expressly for grinding wheat flour. The peculiar novelty of this Mill ij, the under stone is the running stono, in all case?. There is no limit to the speed, and as speed is everything in grind ing, it will out grind any upper grinder in the world. Secondly; By this arrangement we are enabled to get grain into the Mill with a very small eye, conse quently we grind nearer the centre, and of course with less powei than any upper runner can be made. ThirdK: Our Mill hikes any kind of jrrain without choking. We warrant agiinst choking in any and all cases. This is a great vexation cauain delay and trouble in all Mills where the upper stone is the run ner. Of course, we mean snull Mills, where the mo tion must be high to do much bnsincss. Fourthly: Our Mills never tako unjury by running empty the under stone not touching the upper one, no injury can be don-J. This is aa important advan tage over all jLIIs where the upper stone is the run ner. August 23.1305. vlnl2tf Xuckolls & White, Rockport, Mo. James Lowe, Linden, ' " . vlnSly. ; : . .v .
