A Washington letter says: "The
pardon of Bowen being alluded to in
n recent conversation, Akerman said
he wanted it understood that that was
not his affair-that Mrs. Bowen had
got Mrs. Grant to promise it. The
President was not disposed to carry
it ont, but held it back for a week, but
finally allowed it to issue. There is
going to bc an animated contest over
DeLarge's seat, which Bowen is con-
testing but from the position affairs
have recently assumed, there is very
little doubt Of DeLargo's maintaining
his right to his seat. The project Of
running Bowen for Governor has
been entirely abandoned"

INK SrA1Ns.-Ink stains may bo re.
moved from mahogany by touching
them with a feather dipped in mix
ture composed of a few drops of nitre
and a teaspoonful of water. To pre-
vent a white mark being left, the spot
must be rubbed with cloth wet in
cold water the moment tho ink has
disappeared.
BUTTER, CHEESE AND M1LK.-f six
teen quarts of milk are required tc
make a pourd Of butter, and ten
quarts a pound of cheese, and butter
is twenty-five cents pound and cheese
twelve cents, it is more profitable to
make butter butter yielding a. frac.
ton oyer one and half cents a quart.
and cheese q fraction less than one
and a quarter cents.
Moss IN PASTURES OR MEADOWS
This is always found on poor knobs
Or wet flats. The remedyin the first
case is to harrow until the moss is
torn up, and spread q load Of manure
and little lime. In tho second place,
drain off the water, and harrow and
spread lime or plaster, and salt or
ashes, Get rid Of the water, and
strengthen the soil, and moss will be
no further trouble. ~ .~
VERY NICE FRITTERs may be made
by simply rolling the plain dough (af
tor it has risen. Of course) and cutting
and frying as doqghnpts, to be eaten
with sirup or sauce. By putting a
lump of risen dough into pudding
bag, tying, leaving room to swell, put
into a pot of boiling water, and uoil
ing an hour or more, according to size,
you havo an excellent plain pudding,
but it should be eaten with rich sauce.

A gentleman who has long been q
resident Of California, gives to the
Louisville Courier-Journal the follow
ing bits of information about that
State:
Chinese labor is what is running
California. A white man goes there
and finds that he can get but six bits a
day for his work, and that his ex-
penses are not less than dollar a
day. No workingman can wear a
white shirt there. The large number
of suicides reported from California
are, to great extent, results Of scar
city of remunerative labor. No one
tenth Of tho amount of business car
ried on in San Francisco, few years
ago is being done there now. That
railroad has killed San Francisco.
The letters sent from there by cores
pondents do not tell the truth, and
are gotten up in the interest of prop
erty-holders, who want to get their
property off their hands. California
is'no place for anbody to 60 to now.

EFFECT ON IMMIGRATIoN.-It il
suggested in some quarters that the
devastating fires in city and country
at tho West may have the effect to
change or impede the current of i'm
migration. Tho sections just visited
by confngration were the favorite re-
sorts of immigrants from Sweden,
Holland, Norway and Germany.
Many of the immigrants had invest
ed their all in land, houses and imple.
ments. They are likely to send
gloomy messages home, and to the
foreigner in Europe it will seem as if
all the West was desolate. Many and
wearisome years are required to bring
farms under culture, to produce now
orchards, and to cause new forests to
grow. The New York Commercial
states that in the last two weeks
there has been an emigration from
the West to tho East and South.
which is likely to be increased in vol
ume and force.

Representatives of Brazil in foreign
countries have received q circular from
the Brazilian Minister of Foreign AT:
fairs, dated September 80, 1871, which
contains an official announcement o1
the Brazilian emancipation act. Not
withstanding the fears entertained by
some of the people of Brazil, that the
passage of this act would produce Sc,
rious labor troubles in that country;
not the least disturbance Of the tran.
guilty of the Empire, the circular
states, has resulted from the emanci
patton of the slaves.

There is not anv room for doubtip,

There is not any room for doubling
that the coming winter is to be aw-
fully cold. The prophets all say so,
and the man is insane who disputes
the prophets. They have found the

standing on their heads, sunhowers
pointing toward the North Pole,
grape vines running around poles in

thousand other signs to show that

ME LAMB OFFICE.

All men in this part of the country
agree that Salina is the best point for the
United States land Office. 1t is the most
central location and more easily reached
by the larger proportion Of persons set
tied on government land. The land
about Junction city for miles around has
long since been proven up and those tina;
arr now filing constantly, and producing
proof of settlement have to 90 many
miles out Of their way, Mt a great expense,
to meet the requirements Of the law. No
government land East of Junction city is
now unOccupied and hence the land husi-
ness comes most entirely from the West.
II the Office were here, persons living in
Dickinson, Ottawa, Norris, Marion, Nc.
Pherson Lincoln, Ellsworth, Ellis, Wal.
lace and Saline counties and the unOrgan-
lied country, could reach our city by less
railroadins and less travel by teams. In
these counties arr found most ofthc avail.

are ~ yet open to settlers. There is not

fWE REMOVAL OF SUMNER.

The feeling incident to the removal OF
Senator Sumner from the craftsmanship
of the committee on foreign relations OF
the Senate, is very intense. This action
is causing q great division among the
Republican leaders and will result badly
Senator Sumner has occupied this hon.
orsbIc position for over ten years, and
for twenty-five years has he been tks
most persistent and straightforward o.
ponent Of slavery Of any man that holds
high position in the Republican party,
to-day. To great extent has he mould
ed and fashioned the beautiful theory Ol
the Republican platform, and the mem
bcrs of that party have seen his propc
cies fulfilled. Now forsoOth, because he
docs not indOrse the eccentric action OF
the ADMINISTRATION in every.respect, he is
voted out of this position he SO truly dc
serves and has filed SO well. Mr.. Sumner
has long been considered one of the first
statesmen Of America, and is probably
better verscd in the science of govern
mcnt than any man now living. Rich
in experience and great in his knowledge
of history and government, he does not
see fit to accord with the President and
his cabinet, in all of their actions. BY
reason of this independent course taken
BY Mr.. Sumner certain party leaders
arc crying him down. His lofty geniu:
towers far above and is not SCARED by
their futile efforts.
Now we are Of that class Of men tina,
do not follow hccdlessly on in the trea
son tracks Of party, but We stop to con
slider men and measures II we do moi
approve Of any measure Of the Republi
can patty, we mention it. And We laud
Mr.. Sumner for his independence OF
party when he thinks anything is wrong
We will trust his honesty every time.
We have yet to learn, also, that the
President Of the United States is the d.
rector Of the party, and that his meas
urcs, however foolish, are to be swallow
cd BY all the members Of that party As in
fallible. All good, liberal minded men viii
approve Of Mr.. Summers action, in doing
Just As he pleased.

Some ofthe Kansas editors are severe
~ exercised because our young and
growing State has already over eighty
newspapers, and they are constantly
predicting disaster and death to al new
newspaper enterprises. If readers viii
note those papers winch are most dcvO-
ted to these oV)ish prognOsticatiOns, they
will generally discover that a new paper is
being contemplated somewhere in their
vicinity, Of which these fogies Of the press
are intensely afraid.
The idea that our State can be over
done in the matter Of lively interesting
newspapers is absurd, and II these south
savers are not the men to cO@MdRd the
patronage Of their respective localities,
it simply remains that they must retire,
yield the field to younger and better
heads-heads with brain in them alive
and up to the progress of the times.
The business OF newspaper publishing
is governed by the very same rules that
control other professions. A live edi-
tor, one who can originate something that
will keep his readers awake and eager
to see each weeks issue ofhis paper, is
in no more danger Of going to the wall
than il Henry Ward Bcecher in danger
OF an empty church, to hear his Sunday
sermon. What is the use of all this
whining and croaking Of evil, or these
wise,interenccs drawn from past history
or experience. Kansas is not filing up
with phantOms of forlorn hope, nor vic
Tins Of grim despair, and these antedi-
luvians Of the press must either rub the
flood rust off their brains and furnish pro
per mental food, amusement and educa-
ton to the growing, hopeful and enter
prising mass that surrounds them or get
out Of the way, and give room TO those
who have the sense and talent to fill the
place.
Of course it takes money to run news
paper, 50 it does to run any business, but
money alone will not make any business
successful. There must be talent, ener-
gy, and sometimes even an ability
that will create demand for the paper,
where perhaps none ever existed before.
This is equally the case in all trades and
pc LESSONS. A good, lively workman a,
his craft, no matter what that craft may
be, saving that it is honorable and useful,
is in no danger of starvation from want
Of emplOymcnt-not bit of it. If these
old fogies of the press who are whining
so much over the new papers springing
up all around are afraid they can't stand
the pressure, let them quit. When u
man is frightened SO as to cry out, he is
already whipped and had better yield the
ficld.-Ottdra Independent.

SALINE CeUyfY STATISTICS.


For the information Of our readers we
will give few facts about Saline county
that appear upon the census rolls. Her
When the census was taken,
was 1905. Siucc that time, all are aware
that the population has been considers
bly, increased. She probably, now, if an
exact enumeration were taken, would
number over 5000 inhabitants. The
number of acres improved in the county,
was q, 1877; the number Of horses, l ,3O5 /;
the number Of mich cows, l,755; the
number of working oxen, 56s; the num-
Der Of other cattle, Qcaving out Of ques-
ton the Texas cattle herds,) 3,l93; the
number of sheep, 40, and the number Of
swine, 1887. The number of bushels OF
fall wheat raised during the year ending
June LIST, 1870, was 9,l04; the number Of
bushels of spring wheat, 57,66s; rye,
3,Oss; corn, 2l7, 17s; oats, 1905; bar
ley, 1,5ll; Irish potatoes, 29,529, and
sweet pOCbtOCS, wv. AuC "sAV""s VI O~e-
ter manufactured was 4O,O80 pounds ;
H. 43 tons of hay were cut, and 6,85l
gallons ofsorghum molasses were manu-
factured. The returns further show that
Saline county has more improved land,
more stock, and has raised lager crops
than any county west Of Riley. We
have heard parties east state, within two
years, too, that all the country west Of
Junction City was composed Of sandy
and rocky uplands. The statistics We
have given do not verify this statement
When the stranger looks at our rich
black soil, at our number!ess streams Of
living water, at the rich uplands SO beau.
tifally sloping, at the cultivated acres, al
the cattle dotting our beautiful prairics
and at the stalwart, hard senscd aud in
teIIisent people taat compose our pcpa-
lation, he thinks that these sharks in the
east have "ways that arc dark and tricks
that arc vain, and these many lies are
~ "seed sown in poor soil !" in their If
feet upon him. Give us justice.
