Mr.. George A. Bower, the popu-

was that Mrs. Bower came with

EDITOR NEWS: The office of Super
intendent of Public Instruction seems
to be In order, as two candidates have
announced themselves. Mr.. Editor, I
should like TO ask, through THE NEWS,
does either Of the two candidates run
for Office for the interest they feel In
our public schoOls,or is it for the thou
sand dollars salary per annum they
expect to get. L will here inquire of
professor Chambers, if reelected,
what reforms will ne introduce in our
schools. VIII he have any more time
IN the future ia spend in visiting our
Schools tiian lac has had in the past?
Can Superintendent do his duty to
district by visiting the school from one
to three hours each quarter NE also
wish to ask Mr.. Cavaness, if he is cleo
ted, what reforms lie intends to nitro
duce in our schools? What is there
Professor Chambers has not done that
he can do to better our schools? Will
we have better teachers? Will there
be better system of teaching intro
duced?
Mr.. Editor, what the school districts
would like to know is which candidate
Is the best educator. And, in conclu-
sion, is there not better educator in
Lyon county that would accept the of
flee of Public Instruction than the
present candidates.

picable than the manner in which the

the following, = In speaking of Gen.
Dix, the editer says: "The Republi-
cans have nominated that flag end Of
fee seeker, who will make q good
dummy for the Grant party; but the
Greeley party IN New York VIII vote
him down on the spot" Nov, sir, I
wish to test the sincerity Of the writer
of the above, or any Tray, Blanche or
Sweet Heart that keeps him company.
I will bet $50 that John A. Dix, if he
lives and runs, will be elected the next
Governor OF the State of New York.
I will also bet $25 that Horace Greeley
will not get 100, 900 majority in New
York; t25 that he won't get $4,000;
$25 that he won't get 10000; $25 that
he won't get $4,000; $25 that Grant
will carry the STATE. The last five bets

deposited with gentleman who will
pay it over to the winner, when he is
satisfied who is the winner, without
consultation with or getting the con-
sent of the principals. A. BIC.
The above is from gentleman who
is ready to deposit the money as per
his offer. He Is opposed to betting,

"a chance to make good their boasts, or
else take down their cheek.

a Word About Bridges.

EDITOR NEWS: The "Traveler"
seems to think we were poking fun at
the unfortunates who had to swim in
"fifteen feet of water" at Severey's
ford But, sir, fun-making was not in
my mind at all. L was merely show
ing the consequences of not being able
to see straight in broad daylight.
say now as l did before, I'm glad the
Doctor arrived safe on shore. And l
don't know, on reflection, but what the
Doctor is excusable for his mishaps,
as he did not have any one with him
who was familiar with the ford. But
the other one the Traveller speaks OF
as having to swim in Fifteen feet of
WATER" has no excuse whatever for
having to swim, and neither did he
swim, but sat in the buggy with the
water quietly passing over his knees
transfixed with horror, while Mr.. Col
Inns (who was with him, and who
warned him not to drive in, as the
river was unusually high, and it would
not be safe to cross with rig rs light
as theirs) jumped out and untangled
the horses Gas they had got somewhat
mixed) and pllOted them safely to
shore. This, understand me, was not
in the "fifteen feet of WATER but di-
rectly on the ford, which is exactly
like any other ford in high water
times. Mr.. Collins, who is perfectly
acquainted with this ford, warned the
gentleman not to cross, but he did
cross, and did not swim either. The
Traveller is right when he says Typo
| ought to direct his correspondence
toward agitating the question of =
bridge across this river. Some of us
don't know how soon some one will
have TO be fished out of this stream by
undertaking to cross in high water.
When this is done it viii be by the
fault of this county, for she has taken
very great pains to bridge and i'm
prove where the majority are, and
thinks not of the danger us few people
of this part of the county are in of
being drowned tor the want of proper
crossing, or better, good bridges across
these treacherous streams. Why does
not the county give us our proportion
of public improvements and not stick
all around Emporia, and south OF her.
If there is any movement requiring
bonds, which will benefit Emporia in
n financial view, the bonds will be car
ried every time But if there should
be 8 vote taken for bonds to build a
bridge in the northern part OF the
county, and Is miles from Emporia, to
protect the lives of human beings, il
would be defeated by an overwhelming
majority, simply because there is bur a
few up there, and they don't need any
bridge. Let our people think of this
swater" when casting their votes, for
Emporia men to ill every office in
the county, so that they may control
these things 70 suit themselves. All
: we ask is an equal show, and our pro-
portion of necessary public improve

RALLRERa,s NURSERY.

Hallberg's Nursery and Gardens
adjoining this city, are as extensive al
any We know of in the State. The
yield of fruit and vegetables this yeaI
Is immense, and Mr.. H. begins to, rear
q slight reward for his faithful and
hard work, and for his large expendi-
ture OF money.
To give our readers something of an
idea of what has been accomplished
by this gentleman, we present the fol-
lowing figures of the sales of fruit
made this season by railroad. This
includes only what has been shipped
away. Large amounts have been sold
at his store, to our own citizens, and
some on the grounds, which are not
reported. 1900 bushels of peaches, at
an average price OF $1.75; $500 lbs. OF
grapes at an average of 10 cts. per ID. ;
80 bushels of pears, average 81 per
bushef; eight bushels blaekbeFries at
IS cts. per quart; 40 bushels OF goose
berries, at 10 cts. per quart; half bush
el Of currants, at % cts. per quart ;
twenty-five gallons of raspberries, at
80 cts. per gallon 40 quarts of straw
berries at 20 cts. per quart; 30 bushels
OF apples at $l.5O per bushel. Total
sales, as above, S3,320.60. ss
II we add to the, above figures the
sales of fruit at his store, in the city,
The sale of vegetables, and flowers
from his gardens and green houses,
and the amount yet to be realized
from the place, before the season is
over, the foOtings viii not. be much
short of $4,000. . q g Il ~ "
We are glad 70 note this success, be-
cause Hallberg has not only spent
much time but large amount Of
money each year in bringing the es-
Enlistment to its present state of per-
lection. Through many years of dis
couragement and failure, he has never
been disheartened, and his energy has
never abated, and now n rich harvest
seems within his grasp. Another fruit
year like this has been will increase
Hallberg's bank account handsomely
Besides the peaches shipped away
AID sold at the store, It Is said 500
bushels have been wasted, and 900
bushels are now In the tabs and
troughs OF the still getting ready to
be transformed into brandy. All
hands are busy this week gathering
the remainder OF the crop. 49,
From eight to fourteen hands have
been kept busy all this season on this
place.
To give something of an idea OF
how extensive the nursery is we may
state there are now between 10000
and $4,000 young apple now ready for
the market, embracing every known
variety, many thousands of young
chestnut, pear, and severy other KIDD
of trees.
A visit to Hallberg's grounds will
we'll repay a visit from Rny who may
wish to see how well fruIt-raisinS sue
ceeds Ina Kansas, and also to have an
example of what pluck and hard work
/ VIII accomplish. Y
