tho country parishes whom he so path &
cally beseeched to organize tax resisting
associations in order that "kellogg's us1r-

notes expressing the determination Of the

person and property.
Really the pretens;ons Of Hr. Millinery
and his supporters are getting to bs very
ridiculous when tn. friends whom be
select. Tor their supposed fea!ty to his
government thus go bacl. OF him. A
proper sense Of personal dignity should
now induce them to hide their iisap-
pointment, and await q more fitting era
for gratifying their ambitious desire 20
enjoy off:cia! prerogatiyes.
In the returned copy Of NJ. &oEueg's
letter now before us, there is. however.
one gratifying evidence of an improved
frame of mind. One sentence originally
read: "lf our liberties are worth anything

measures of economy in four years. Then
there is something derogatory to our
municipal dignity in the deprivation OF
gas which only the direst necessity could
excuse. Had not our city fathers better
put their heads together and seeif they can
not devise some more comprehensive plan
of economy than that which this stencil
suggesting ordinance provides: something
which will Increase the attractlveness OF
our city instead Of diminishing it, They
haze had the good sense to see tha: the
closing of the public schools would be
unwise economy, notwithstanding the
reasons given for that measure by the
Mayor in his veto message. Let them
now open their eyes on the other objer-
tionable plans alluded to. reconsider n"
dir, and darkness ordinance. repeal j: an!
take fresh start on the road Of yetr'ncr-

But tho Mayor returned the ordinance

this city as in any other portion of this

interested because they feel with Mayor

FENNIMoRE, July %, 1873.
challenge was published some time ago by Mr.,
Gspie, for public field trial at Mt. Ida The trial
came of on Monday Of last week, between the Ohio
Champion, the Excelsior, and the Williams com ined
Self Rakers The machines moved to a hard and rough
piece of winter wheat where the trial moved of slow
ly. The Champion made few rounds first and gave
way for the Williams. Then the Excelsior tried its
luck, but only went short way and broke its Rake
and delayed long in fixing up. The Williams lost a
considerable time with its Rake But nothing hap
pened the Champion, and it was ready for operation
at any and all times Mr.. G. Wehrle, 8. Borah and
G. B. Adkins were appointed judges and gave their
decision in favor Of the Champion upon every point
both in reapng and moving. The trial passed off
quietly both with the lockers ON and the respective
agents of the hines. Mr.. Gspie represented the
Excelsior, Gillispe Raynor the Williams, and Ohio
shrader represented the Champion, and who has two
more on hand yet at Fennimore Centre for sale

THE CRaPs The crops general
ly look unusually promising. There
is some appearance of blight or
"spot" in the wheat, but not enough
to effect materially the yield. This
is attributed by some to defective
seed and by others to the unfavor-
able season. Whatever be the cause
of this it is certainly true that poor,
cracked and unmatured seed will
produce heads that will neither fill
nor ripen. We hear of chintz bugs
operating in the grain in many d.
rections, but have been unable to
learn of their existence TO any
alarming extent. On the whole the
promise of abundance is only doubt
cd by such as are always looking for
drawbacks. The grain crop through
out the neighborhood was heavy and
most Of it has been we'll cured and
properly secured.

WHAT THE JUDGES SAY.
