New YORK, August 30.-A bold and
nearly successful attempts at swindlipg,
by means OF forged bonds, was made IN
Wall street to-day. A Mr.. Williamson,
who was Introduced to Mr.. .Holbrook, Of
the firm OF John W. Eddy & Co., by an
acquaintance Of Holbrook's, stated he
wanted to borrow $25, 900 for sixty days,
and offered as security $1,000 New York
Central Railroad seven per cent. bonds,
OF 1915. Holbrook took one of the
bonds and succeeded in placing the loan
elsewhere, and on his return, not finding
Williamson, he thought all was not
right, and caused an examination OF the
remaining bonds, when it was discovered
they were forgeries. The case was ina-
mediately put in the hands of detectives,
but thus far Williamson has not been
arrested.

rue STATE GRANGE.

The. State Grange was organized in
Lawrence, July 3lst. Comm tees were
appointed TO perfect the plans of the
Grange. Resolutions were passed de-
precatins tho prominence given to horse
racing at our coming State Fair; also,
calling upon farmers to give moro liberal
support of iairs, so that there might be
no occasion for depending on racing as
a means of making more. Resolutions
were also adopted on the transportation
question, the most pointed Of which was
one demanding either that f,rmin:
property be taxed as railroad property
is, on the basis of its income, or that
railroad property as we'll as ia, ming pro-
perty be taxed upon tic basis Of value
independent of income. A resolution
was also passed expressing sympathy

In a country like Kansas, where fuel
for "raising tho steam" is so scarce,
and where water powers arc not over
abundant, it would seem rs if the winds
could be made to play a better part in
running machinery. There is certainly
no lack Of "wind-power." Every town
Is blessed with it, and it may be made
of use. Wind-mills do much of the
manufacturing of Holland, and are run
in most successful manner. 1t would
seem best that inducements should be Of
fcrod to encourage improvers Of this
power. The agricultural societies OF
tho State and counties should give
premiums to inventors of any improve
,ncnts in this direction. Farming may
DO made easier in time by the use OF
wind, as well as manufacturing.

Tho Liberals are again hugging the

tue KANSAS CENTRAL RaIIReaD.

We learn from very reliable authority
that the Kansas Central Railroad Com
pany Marrow Guage) have purchased
iron sufficient to fit out their road fol
two hundred miles, and that they viii
put a large force at work Immediately
upon the extension west from the pres
emf terminus. We also learn that Salins
will be the western terminus for few
and, perchancc, for many years. Ad.
mitted as it is, on all sides, that we must
secure line which will compete with
the Kansas Pacific, and that that line
must be a direct line east, We hope ouI
citizens will give the Kansas Central all
possible encouragement and work unit
eddy for securing a speedy construction
of the same to this place. We admit
that our people are not in the best mood
after the late bitter railroad wrangle
which, to a certain extent, has thrown
cloud over such enterprises; but We
do hope that the foolish cry, Issue no
more bonds" will not prevail to such ar
extent that sound and practicable rail
road schemes will be cut off at all haz'
ards. If we commence right, we need
anticipate no trouble IN issuing the
bonds voted to responsible companies
1t is well enough that all future "paper'
railroads should receive cool encourage
ment; but when we can be satisfied thai
an advantageous road can be built to Sa
lima, which is backed by capital and re
liable mon, it is incumbent upon all class
es to lend a helping hand in urging tho
good work on. Salina will make rapid
strides forward, when she has second
railroads. competing line. The farm
ers will experience better times when
they have found way to ship their
produce to markets at freight rates
which will not eat up two-thirds the val
ue of the products. The Kansas Cen.
trail will furnish all tho desired facili-
ties. The chcapness of constructing
and operating the road will enable it to
furnish rates Of freight and Transports
ton so exceedingly low that the Kansas
Pacific will soon feel the effect and bring
its passenger and freight tariffs to some.
thing like q " christian" level. To Sail
ma, this road is of especial Importance.
By securing it, she will step to the front
rank of cities Of Central and Western
Kansas. No citizen in Salina should do
aught to cripple the enterprise. While
we are quarrelinc, Ellsworth or some
other neighboring town may "walk
away with the spoils." BY obtaining
this road, we shall have good commune
cations with Chicago and st. Lonis-just
what all have always admitted as the
greatest advantage, and for which many
of our enterprising business men have
long struggled. We hope therefore
when the time shall come to issue the
bonds to this company-to which they
are entitled by tho vote of one year
ago last fall-there will be no opposi-
the part of the citizens of Saline
county.

How SEEEP DOGS ARE TRA1NEp.-A
traveller in Southern California gives the
following account Of the famous sheep
dogs used there, and of the manner in
which they arc trained. He writes
:" You may go'cver the plains and hills
there for miles and see thousands of sheep,
but not a man to watch them. Around
each flock or handof say d thousand sheep
are half dozen dogs of a peculiar breed
dogs whose progenitors were imported
from the sheep pastures ofithe Old World.
These dogs take the entire care of the
sheep, drive, them out to pasture in the
morning, keep them fr(m m straying during
the day, and bring them home at night.
These dogs have Inherited a talent for
keeping Gsltesp, but the shepherds do not
depend wholly on that. They cultivate
tim this way-so at least the old shep-
herd says When q lamb is nj born it is
taken away from the mother sheep be-
fore she has seen it,. and q puppy put in
its place. The sheep suckles the puppy
and learns TO love it, When the puppy
grows old enough to eat meat it is fed in
the morning and sent out with tho sheep.
1t stays with them ibecause it accustom-
ed 10 be with lss mother, but 1T cannot
feed with Them. As they get full The dog
gets hungry. At length, impatient to re-
turn where it hopes to get another pieso
Of meat, it begins to tease and worry its
mother, and finally starts her, towards
home; tle. other sheep follow, and thus
the whole flock is brought in,. II the dog
brings the shaep home too soon, or. comes
home without them, he gets no supper or
is punished in some way. Hence he soon
learns when to come, and to see to il. that
none Of his charge are left tehind."
