GOING WEsT.-After heightened visit
to that part of Central and Western Kan
sas included in the valley of the Arkansas
river, we can not hesitate to commend that
portion of the country as especially favora-
ble for those who desire to move where
cheap lands, some free homesteads, fertile
soil, abundant water, perfect healthfulness
and extensive range for stock may be found;
all these with short winters and a season of
ten mouths during which the pillow may be
kept constantly at work may there be en-
joyed. We understand that the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad has over
two millions of acres for sale in that valley,
but that the government homesteads are
about all taken up; consequently the conn-
try is already comparatively well settled.

THE NEW CHURCH ORGAN.
BY WILL NJ. CARLETON.

There are but very few of any denomi-
nation-whether " for or against organs
who will not enjoy and laugh heartily over
the following:l
They've got bran new organ, Sue,
For all their fuss and search;
They've done Just as they said they'd do,
And fetched it into church.
They're bound the critter shall be seen,
And on the preachers right,
They've hoisted up their new machine
In everybody's sight.
They've got a chorister and choir,
Ag'iu my voice and vote;
For it was never my desire
To praise the Lord by note.
I've been sister good an true
For five an thirty year;
I've done what seemed my part to do,
An prayed my duty clear;
I've sung the hymns both slow and quick,
Just as the preacher read,
And twice, when Deacon Tubbs was sick,
took the fork an led !
And now, their bold new tangled ways
Is comm all about;
And l, right in my latter days,
Am fairly crowded out
To day the preacher, good old dear,
With tears all in his eyes,
Read-''I can read my title clear
To mansions in the skies, -
l always liked that blessed him
Is'pose a'lays will;
1t somehow gratifies my within,
In good old Ortonville;
But when that choir got up to sing,
couldn't catch word;
They sung the most dog gondest thing
A body ever heard
Some worldly chaps was standin' near,
An when | seed them grin,
bid farewell to every fear,
And boldly waded in.
thought I'd chase their tune along,
An tried with all my might;
But though my voice is good an strong,
couldn't steer it right;
When they was high then 1 was low;
An all contrarywise;
And too fast, or they to slow,
To mansions in the skies.'
An after every verse, you know
They played little tune.

fetched lusty tone,
But oh alas. found that
Was singin' there alone
They laughed a little, l am told;
But had done my best;
And not wave of trouble rolled
Across my peaceful breast.
And sister Brown could but look
She sits right front of me;
She never was no singin' book,
An never ment to be:
But then she al'ays tried to do
The best she could, she said;
She understood the time, right through,
An KEEP it, with her head;
But when she tried this mornin' oh,
had to laugh, or cough
1t KEEP her head bobbn' SO,

An Deacon Tubbs-he all broke down,
AS one migM well suppose;
He took one look at Sister Brown,
And meekly scratched his nose.
He looked his hymn book through and thro'
And laid it on the seat,
And then pensive sigh he drew,
And looked completely beat.
An when they took another bout,
He didn't even rise;
But drawed his red bandanner cut,
An wiped his weepin' eyes.
I've been sister, good an true,
For five an thirty year;
I've done what seemed my part to do,
An prayed my duty clear,
But death will stop my voice, know,
For he is on my track;
And some day, to church will 60,
And never more come back,
And when the folks get up to sing

coffin containing the dead bodies Of his

absence. They were inferred near Corn

Gently, while he was absent, some of his
neighbors got up a story that the coffin
supposed to contain the corpse of Mrs.
Cameron inclosed nothing but a piece of
clay, that lady having been in reality solids
BY her husband to an Indian chief on the
Pacific coast for gold chain. Strange as
it may seem, this monstrous tale found a
ready belief among the kanucks, and
when Mr.. Cameron came home he found
it necessary to refute it. So he advertised
that on certain day the grave would be
opened and the corpses exposed to view.
when the time came several hundred peo-
pie were present. The bodies were ex-
humed and exhibited to the gaping crowd.
They were in excellent preservation, hav-
ing been embalmed Immediately after
death, and the features of Mrs. Cameron
were distinctly recognized by those who
knew her in life. This, of course. ex-
ploded the story of the sale, and gave
peace of mind to the gossips."

ner, found it unsatisfactory, and as will be seen
by reference to the advertising columns of this
paper, once more "gOes it alone"
Mr., G. has an extensive marble yard at the
west end Of the iron swing bridge ON Madison
street. He has the finest stock of marble ever
brought to this city, and is better prepared than
any one else to do all sorts Of fancy work in the
way of making monuments, toomb- stones and
all the many varieties of fancy ornamental work
for buildings, He is doing the fine ornamental
ton work for Henry Walther's new Building,
and that is to be a model of elegance in its way,
so is Louis Gagels work for the front. The
stones are deliberately carved into fruits and
flowers, and various unique designs and figures.
Mr.. Gagel gets the stone direct from the ccc-
brated Vermont quarries, and at such cheap
rates as enables him to sell lower than any one
else has ever dared to ask for the cheaper grades
of marble while he sells the very best. Call and
see his stock and superior work, and you will be
satisfied that our statements are true
