EMPoRIA Ma RBLE WORKS - FINE
PIECE OF WoRKNANsHIP.-Al who
have visited Mr., Jonas marble shops
IN the past few days must have no.
tIced the elegant cottage monument
which he has completed for the grave
of Mr.. Gleason, at Eureka. The work.
manship is about perfect. The design
is original with Mr.. Jones, and Is very
beautiful and tasty. 1t is pronounced
by competent judges to be the finest
piece of monument work they have
seen In the West. He has also in his
shop many other fine specimens of his
superior skill. The demands upon him
throughout Southwestern Kansas are
increasing, and he has orders for sew
eral months ahead. His work cannot
fall to give satisfaction. How much
better It Is to have an establishment OF
this kind here at home Instead of be-
Ing compe He'd to send our orders
abroad.

OUR BABY SHow.-The premiums
offered by THE News and Fred. Hlrth
for the handsomest babies at the Fair
last week, was one OF the leading lea
lures, and was a splendid success.
Some folks predicted failure, but they
were sadly disappointed. "Failure" is
not word that belongs either to the
leading furniture establishment or THE
News. This exhibition caused more
excitement and drew a larger crowd
than any other part of the Fair. Only
Eve of the committee reported, to-wit i:
f. r. Holderman, Dave Hunter, Neil
Campbell, Howard Dunlap and DR..
Young. They performed their duties
we'll and to the satisfaction of nearly
everybody.
The Sl0 cash prize was taken by NJ.
J. Thomas, twelve months old daugh-
ter of Robert and Jane Thomas, of this
city. Tho handsome chair, offered by
Mr.. Hirth as the second premium, was
taken by Allen Davenport, fourteen
months old. son of DIR. and Mrs. Daven-
port, of this city. There were ei2h.
teen entries, one of which was from
Eldorado. A full account of the baby
show will be found on the first page

AGNES CITY.

Owing to the dry weather the opera
ton of putting in winter wheat was al
most entirely suspended, but as we are
now having our equinoxial storm in
the way of q good solid rain, farmers
generally are feeling more cheerful and
1 venture to say that there will be
busy time for the next ten days
among those who are behind with
their fall sowing.
The recent frost has almost entire
ly killed the late potatoe vines, and
has consequently cut shorter the very
meagre crop anticipated, so our pros
pect for potatoes at present is like
small potatoes in Ireland, they are
"few and far between;" but recent re-
ports from the west, southwest and
northwest are very cheering. Potatoes
in Cloud county are 20 cents per bushel,
and hard sale at that.
Corn must be very cheap in Sedg-
wick county from the number of stock
hog buyers recently from that quarter.
Three teams last Saturday and
others reported coming. The emigra-
ton for the estate of irrigation" is still
pouring through. One would judge
that the valleys of Colorado would be
full soon. We have needed little ir-
rigation here during the past few
months, but suppose it is all right as
we are getting it now.
The Agnes City grange of the p. o.
H. is in healthy condition for new
organization, and have their regular
monthly meetings on the 4th Saturday
of each month, at o'clock p. m, anG
called meetings every week.
The health of this part OF the
county is generally good, excepting
the prevalence of the whooping cough
in malignant fern, which is pretty
hard among children.
Our old bachelor at the head %
Bluff creek has got the whoop. Serve,
him right. He ought to have married
while he was young.
Yours, &C., PaRANK.

PRAIRIE HAY.-Although reyolu-
tions do "never go backward" yet
they are frequently carried forward by
very ordinary means. Indeed, they
sometimes appear to develop and be-
come ssfixed facts'' before their exist
ence is discovered.
A case of this kind has forced itself
into recognition in this part of the
country, and 1t is founded on the
hitherto unappreciated article OF prai-
RE hay. Heretofore people have been
accustomed to regard the bountiful
mantle of "blue-ioint' which annually
covers our vast prairies as of very lit
tie practical importance. We have
known individuals TO sometimes enter
into mathematical calculations on the
amount of money they were losing by
not having cattle enough to eat up
this grass, but they did not appear to
think of any other way in which it
could be converted into wealth. They
could raise corn, and II it would not
sell this year they could keep it till
next. II they owned cattle they
would set In, after all other work was
done up, and put up few tons of hall
dead grass, though good many OF
them preferred to demonstrate how lit
tie hay It took to winter stock in Kan
sas, while some would contend that
cattle did not need feeding at all in
winter. But, to use Kansas phrase,
that condition of things has "plsyed
out" If correct inventory were &c
be made We have little doubt but II
would result IN showing that the prai-
RE hay this year made in Americas
township IL worth more money thar
all the corn grown In the township.
We have been making some est
mates OF the comparative profits to bt
made on these two crops. As bash
J We win take the prices which hay ani
: corn brought here last spring, wher
hay sold In and near town at five dol
: lars 3 ton and corn at twenty-fiv.

The IRA PPKRss-We met on ON
streets last Monday gentleman by
the name of Morris, who lives in the
northeast part of this county, who,
with his brother,spent the mos t of last
winter hunting and trapping on the
plains. He states that himself and
brother, assisted by another man,
caught one hundred and seventy five
beaver, one hundred coons, and thirty
six otter, besides wolves and other an
finals In greater or less numbers. Be
sides this they killed a large number
OF buffalo, that being their principal
business. The proceeds of their win
ter's work Melted them Sl,lOO each.
He mentioned one man who made 500
by himself, with only a one-horse team
to operate with. Mr.. Morris started
out again this week to hunt and trap
all the fall and winter. His "territory'
lies between the X. p. and u. p. rail-
roads.

A SMALL RAILROAD COLLISION
On Wednesday morning mixed train
No. coming from Topeka, and local
freight No. Q. going from here north at
3 a. m, tried the experiments of passing
each other on single track just east of
the city. It was signal failure. No.
was some four hours behind time,
and conductor Newhall states that he
had forgotten all about No. G being on
the track. He had no right to the
track. Conductor Head saw No.
coming, but could not back out of her
way because he was on down grade.
The conductors both saw the impend-
ing collision in time to prevent much
damage, and give all hands q chance to
jump of the trains. Mr.. Newhall
frankly acknowledged that he was to
blame for the collision, and Immediate
ly received permission from Superin-
tendent Pagan to seek employment
elsewhere. Two thousand dollars will
repair the damages. We don't know
the exact amount Of 'sprofane lltera.
