Pistols and political notes mix in a crowded era
A southern philosopher claims millions of pistols are made yet rarely used in war, while Ohio County Treasurer Sullivan faces an $11,700 short, and a predecessor serves a twelve year term for a $5,000 theft. Reports cover Judge Clifford, the Topeka head case, the Dean Stanley funeral, the Prince of Wales attendance, and health concerns around the President amid malaria fears and sanitary questions for the White House area.

Noble Prentis writes in four columns for the Atchison Champion about Scandia and Republic County. He recounts Pike’s 1806 march through Kansas, crossing the Solomon and marching toward Jawnee village on the Republican, where Spaniards once flew their flag. The piece links Pike’s expedition to local history and Scandia’s place on the frontier.
