pressing circumstances tho work ac-

complished has not been up to thousual standard.

Burlington Republican: Wo aropleased to bo ablo to state that the proj-ect of establishing a factory for thoknitting of hosiery, mittens, knit under-wear, etc., in Burlington, is receivingsome consideration.

probably owned Iho Journalalone when he sold it to Tilton.

Gove City Republican: CD. Mat-thews, of Plum Creek, reports that thoprairie dogs in tho south-we- st portionof tho county aro dying off rapidly,apparently from somo contagious dis-ease. Should the disease continue itwould prove causo for great rejoicing J

Holyrood Enterprise: It is talkedvery strongly of putting up a Unionchurch at this placo in tho spring.

Valley Falls Register: An interest-ing protracted meeting is in progressat the Methodist church. Rev. Otto,of Meriden, is assisting tho pastor, Rov.Forseman. Several additions aro re-

ported.Wellington Monitor: The difficu-

lty over tho organ in tho Christianchnrch at Oxford, has been settled "byallowing the Sunday school to uso itif it is kopt socuroly locked during thochnrch services. A controversy of sim-ilar naturo camo near breaking up the

j chnrch in this city a couple of yearsago, but the organ finally won the day.

Kansas City, Kansa3, Gazotto: Rov.Georgo D. Gotwald, pastor of thoMemorial Lutheran church, died ofpneumonia. Ho leaves a wife and twosmall children. Tho illness which re-

Salem Argus: Several of our citi-zens cro over to Lebanon to interviewa horso-buyo- r there. Tho town wasfull of horses, yet only a cry fw weresold, and that few at ruinous prices.Only tho owners of the best horsescould get an offer at all.

Jamestown Quill: W. G. Loofo cul.tivated 110 acres of corn last year,which yielded C,000 bushels.. For anaverage this compares favorably withany in tho county. Mr. Loofo is oneof the model farmers, after whom allmight follow with success.

Spearoville Blade: If. C. 'Nichols,somo two months ago, bought 22shoats and corn enough to feed themwith. Last week he sorld. 15 of thoshoats for enough to pay what all thoshoats cost and for tho corn ho fed toall the shoats and to his team of horsesand has seven head of shoats loft.

Anthony Republican.: Grass is sev-eral inches high on cery shelteredspot in Harper county, especially whoresheltered by old grass roots. This isnearly tho middlo ot January, and wehavo had one littlo smell of winter. Theoarth is well loaded with lr.oisturo andeverything indicate? that next season'scrops will go way ahead of oven thopast soason s onormous yields.

Oswego IndeiKsndemt: Peoplo arecoming to Labotto county to get linostock. Fred Perkins, this week, re-

ceived an order from, tho Territory, fora car load ot full-bloo- d, short-hor- n

bulls, and also an order from tho samoplace for half a car load of grade Jersey heifers. Tms speaks well for thoprogressive stockmen of Labette. Hardly a week passes Irut that car-loa- d lotsof improved ttock aro shippod from thecounty.

Glasco Sun: A lady friend of ours,living on a farm near Glasco, told usthis week that sho had kept an accountsince last Jan., of tho amount receivedfor eggs from a ilock o! about fortyliens, and finds that it foots up tho neatlittlo sum or S3S. Besides these eggssho has sold sovoral dollars worth ofchickens. Multiplying this sum byseveral hundred, tho number of farmerswho market their poultry produce inGlasco and wo see that the hen is quitean important animal.

Iol.f Register: A young man givesus tho following figures showing whatho did with a corn crop alone, a part ofwhich was much injured by wet weath-er. Ho rented 35 acres on shares,boarded himself, but was at no expensein tho crop. Ho received two-fift- hs forhis labor. Tho yield was 33 and 2-- 7

bushels per acre. Time spent in mak-ing tho crop, 52 days; gathering, 27days. Estimating the crop at 1G cents,the price at which part has been mar-keted, givos him $1.03 for each day'slabor, and ho had moro than two-third- 3

of his timo through the busiest seasonthat ho could employ profitably inworking for his neighbors.

KAMsAS llAII.KOAIIj.

Seneca Tribnne: The railroads payinto tho treasury of Xomaha county atotal school tax, for the year of 18'60,of SS,112.C3.

Peabody Graphic: Tha fact that thetaxes paid into the county treasury bythe Bock Island company considerablyexceed the interest on tho bonds votedby the peoplo, is a comfortable thingfor the tax-paye-rs to contemplate, andit certainly ought to case the minds ota few who feared tho utter bankruptcyof the county on account of tho bonds.

Atchison Champion: SuperintendentBathburn is feeling justly proud overtho little delay occasioned by the latestorm to the Central Branch. Therewas a time when it was not surprisingto hear of tho road being blocked for aweek, bnt with the powerful enginesand big snow plows now in use. it ex-

periences very little trouble from snowdrifts.

The relations of the p'aintitT and defend-ant in thia caso are and have beena subject of much newspaper comment.

Six years ago, while stopping at thehotel in this city, Gorham fell dan-

gerously ill. Arthur Blake then one of thebell boys of the hotel, to whom the invalidhad taken an extraordinary liking, nurse IMr. Gorham through the illna-s- . After hisrecovery the attachment seemed to swstronger Lotwccn tho ctttlcman and thobe.l boy. Th y traveled together for anumber of year.

Luring tlat timo Blake bWcame possessedof certain alleged compromViug tscts con-cerning Gorham'd career and drew uponhis benefactor's bank account at will,knowing that fear of oxrosuro would causeGorham to henor the drafts.

At Chicago Gorhnm tired of cashing thodrafts and had Blake at rested for forgery.A jury convicted him and sentenced him toa year's coainement in the penitentiary.Mako took rn app?al, threatened Gorham(whs went his bond), and skipp;d h s bail.

At Los Angeles not long ago Gorhamagain had him arrested for forgery. Blakepleaded his own case and was acquitted.Since that timo Blako has been living hereat tho Centropolis hotel and has continuedsigning Gorbain's checks, demanding inthreatening letters that Gorham mako themgood.

The stagnation in anthracite coal is aggra-vated, l'rices are demoralized.

Thero is a marled reiital in tho trade fordomestics worsted and light goods Re-

Many of the me tn b;rs are disposedto revert tu tho treaty of Hlg, but it is anopen secret that Sir Charles Tupper willstrongly object to this couc, and as a re-sult tho policy of tho government may 1 omaterially modified.

Ashburne, senator from theBrown-Clearmo- nt district, is very low attho American house, with the chances ratheragainst his lecorery. and Henry Brown, theHancock representative, is not expected tolive, both hating th? pneumonia, and likethe two deceased members, were taken Bretwitn ia giipps. Ex-bta- to Treasurer Howells, the Stark-Carro- ll district senator, is onthe sick list, while half a dozen others arecomplaining of the influenza and keep toth ir rooms. AH rol tical legislation iathus blccked and will be un'it tne ep demicpasses away and new elections held, 'thesituation is extremely critical, as in case of

udge Ashburne s death the lieutenant gov-ernorship ini-- fall through. No such sick-ness was ever bfoie known among Oniolegislators. The wife of o e of the Cleve-U- nd

to show that $40,010 a jear due fromthe compam holding the present Ieise hadbeen remitted to the eompany.

Besides this, tho average of two gal-

lons of oil secured from each seal is worth$110,000 a year. Yet the treasury depig-ment has accepted for all of this.He would not be surprised if the profits ofthe Alaska heal company averaged $.,000,- - I

Senator Butler, of South Carolina, spokeupon his bill to provido f r the emigrationof of color from the southernstates.

Ho said the granting of m'Jrago to thecolored people was a craze, which had comethrough battle. But the act was dono theyare citizens with tbe ballot and with polit-ical rights.

He said that their absenco from high po-sitions in tho couutry is proof of unrelent-ing, unforgiving, i icurable race prejudice.Ins bill contemplated a gradual, orderly,voluntary movement of the people out oftho country, and provided government aidto enable ihem to go.

As to tho effect on the southern states ofan emigration of colored l copte, be saidthat if tho south could be tnus relieved ot aran atlcat, of its superabundance of cheaplator. thero would bo such an immigrationof white, intelligent, progressi e citizens,that tho pro-pcri- ty of the south during tnelast decado would palo into insiguiticancoas lomparcd with its tuturo pror sa.
