A sprawling column covers diverse items including political stances in the county and state, a Jewish colony purchase near Olathe, electric wiring plans in New York, empress travels, immigration notes, trade and rail chatter, and Missouri and Ohio political analysis.

The Richmond visit by a Grand Army post highlights divisions over loyalty and flags in postwar sentiment. A Major McCarthy speech defends Union, while some veterans cling to former battle flags.
