James cheese factory began operations last
week. We believe larger business will be
done by this factory this season than was done
last 1t is of great Importance to Americas
that this business be encouraged in this place.
A town, in order to succeed, must be backed
up by some manufacturing business. THERE'S
nothing else Of that sort that can be SO easily
built up in Americas as the dairy business.
With the start that we already have, there is
no good reason why there should not be two
or three cheese factories in operation in this
place by next season. 1t Is plain to be seen
that such result Is worth iaboring for. The
addition Of II thousand cows to the taxable
property OF the township would be quite an
item in the way OF lessening the percentage of
taxation. The addition of a hundred families
Downing and milking the eows) to the popula-
ton Of the t6wn-families whose business
would sustain them independent OF the farm
ers, or Of everybody else, and the clothing,
feeding and otherwise providing for Of which
would require corresponding increase of the
business of the town. and of the produce Of
the country-would be a great benefit to the
town and country. The result of the opera
lions Of the Americas factory for the past four
years settle the question rs to whether or not
the business is profitable. 1t pays the man
who furnishes the milk, and it also pays the
owner Of the factory, In fact, we have it clear
ly demonstrated that cheese making is going to
be among the most profitable kinds of business
In this country. and we expect, at an early
day, to see extensive factories starting up al
over the country. Americas has taken the
lead, in Lyon county, in this business, and
with her inexhaustibie supply of good water
in town, and upland praIries back from town
that abound with magnificent springs Of pure,
clear water, and her location ON n railroad that
affords ready transportation of the product to
the great markets West, it only requires rea-
sonable effort on the part Of her citizens to
make her the great dairy town Of the country.
The Americas cheese already has an estab-
lished reputation. Last year it received the
highest premium at the State Fair. 1t COM
uaands the highest price in all markets IN which
It Is offered. Cheese is an article that sells for
cash. and it is ready for market by the first Of
June, and thus keeps up the circulation Of
money before and during harvest, which Is the
closest time the farmer has to raise money. We
have heard our merchants remark often that
| they realized decided improvement in their
business whenever the cheese Of the fsztorY
now n town was ready and put into fne mar
ket. 1t made money easy and times good.

A SAD Accommodations IL o'clock on
Tuesday last, our friend Rev. w. X. Boggs, of
Wichita, who was on business trip to our
city, met with distressing accident, in front
OF Ferguson & Harvey's grocery. Mr.. Boggs
was on his wagon re-arranging sundry goods
to make room for more. Reaching forward to
pick up Henry rifle which stood in the front
part of the wagon, to set il back, he forgot that
IL had been loaded short time before, he took
it by the muzzle, and in raising it the hammer
caught on the seat and fell, discharging the
load in his left forearm, the ball entering on
the under side, passing upward, and came out
at the elbow, fracturing the bones at the joint.
Medical attendance was at hand, and it is
thought that amputation will not become
necessary.
A great many people are disposed to cry out
"gross carelessness," when they hear of an ac-
cident that happens us did this, and the charge
is oftener more unjust than just. The most
thoughtful, prudent person may be forgetful
and liable to lose. his sense of proximity to
danger and death by the presence and pressure
OF other thoughts upon his mind, and to step
into trouble, in such times Of abstraction, that
he has been for years particularly careful to
avoid. Believing our unfortunate friend to be
n sensible, prudent man, we were ready to be-
lieve him when he said he always had been re-
markably cautious in handling firearms. We
can readily, in our own mind, acquit him OF
carelessncss, and we believe that all who know
him will do rs much.
DIR. BOggs went TO Wichita last fall and took
n claim near there. Having been employed by
the Presbyterian Board Of Home Missions to
preach at Wichita, he organized q church. and
a few weeks ago moved his family from here to
his claim near that place. This accident will
probably deprive him of the use of one arm,
and consequently put stop, partially at least,
to his agricultural labor and the Improvement
OF his claim. We sympathize with him kerry
deeply.
Mr.. Ed. Smith, who is going to Wichita to
start u lumber yard, and u young gentleman
by the name of Kimberly, of New Haven, Con-
necticut, who is going TO Wichita to locate,
took charge of DR.. Boggs' wagon, and will
break the news Of his misfortune TO his family.
His is doingAwell.

THE ELEcrIoN.-Day before yesterday was
the day appointed by the Mayor to submit TO u
vote OF the citizens the question of issuing the
bonds of the city TO the amount of $4,000, for
the purpose Of building city hall, protecting
against fire, improving the streets, etc. The
only feature Of the ordinance which elected
any opposition was that providing for the eX-
penditure of $1,000 for city hall. This met
with strong opposition, and as the time for
voting drew nigh, the chances Of the PROPOSE
tion receiving "a majority Of votes very percep-
tibly diminished, notwithstanding meeting
was called by the party fayoring the PROPOSE
tion on Tuesday night, at the Court House, to
discuss the matter. The result Of the election
was so.evIdently foregone conclusion that in
the First and Fourth Wards no election was
held. In the Second and Third Wards Ill
votes were cast, Of which SO were opposed 20
the bonds.
We trust that the Council will submit a
proposition to issue the bonds of the city in
whatever amount IL shall be deemed necessary
to provide an adequate supply Of water, to
equip an efficient fire organization, and to make
such improvements as will meet the immediate
necessities Of the city. Sucea proposition will
receive the hearty support of the people, butt
is idle to talk of bonds for city adornments UNI
til the most urgent OF our public necessities
are provided for.
