the U. P. Church on Tuesday evening,
at which Mrs. II. G. Welday presided,
assisted by Vice Prest's Mrs. Judge
Kennon and Mrs. Rev. Alexander,
Mrs. Rev. Vail Sec'y.
1t was intended that this meeting
should be conducted entirely by ladies.
The principal addresses of the evening
were read by Miss Jane Edgerton and
Mrs. Rev. Vail. We did not have the
good luck to be present, but we under
stand that they were highly entertain
ing.
Upon invitation of the ladies, H. NJ.

BETWEEN 10 and IL O'Clock on Sat
urday night, the barn and corn house
of Elisha Evans, residing three miles
southeast of Hunter, and contents were
entirely destroyed by fire. The barn
was a good frame one about 55 feet
long. Two good horses, two wagons,
one carriage, moving machine, har-
ness, hay, oats, and many other valu-
able articles, were consumed. The
dwelling house being in close proXim-
ity to the barn, was saved only through
the untiring exertions Of two young
ladies ofthe family, and the timely ar
rival of A. C. Danford, Mr.. King and
Others. 1t is supposed that the fire
was a work of an incendiary, or of
some one who was on a thieving expe-
dition for wheat. The entire loss was
estimated at $1,000; the barn was in
sured for $666, and the grain for 1884, in
the Ohio Farmers Company, of Leroy
Ohio.

dry they crumbled into dust.
In the portmonie he found on the
remains of the largest man was seven
teen dollars and thirty-five cents In
currency. Which, like all the other
papers crumbled to dust as soon
as dried. There were also two
one-cent nickle pieces and q Chinese
coin valued at one-tenth of penny of
our money.
The smaller man must have been
dressed much poorer than the other,
as the boots were the kind issued to
the army, with clinch nails on instep
OF soles. All the clothing found wers
the remains of q. S. overcoat. Only
one skull was fund and must have be-
ionged to the smaller man.
The remains were conveyed to Peace,
where they can now be seen at DR..
Hodges office.
This affair looks very dark to US.
The fact that money was found in the
pockets of one, the absence of arms,
with which they were undoubtedly
provided, leads to . belief that they
were murdered, and that by Indians,
as it Is well known that they value
arms and horses above currency. This
affair should be looked into.

SOMETHING ABOUT GOING EAsr.-The
shortest possible route between the Great
West and the East, North and South, is
over the st. Louis, Kansas City and
Northern Short Line. This road has gain
ed surprising Importance by reason of
immense expenditures in the last two
years, Of over two millions dollars, be.
sides earnings, in improvements Of road
way, in re-laying their line with best
quality Of new steel and iron rails, on
broad new ties, and by substituting for
ordinary cars, new reclining chair coaches,
elegantly carpeted and fitted, with dress
ing rooms with toilet conveniences for la

children, acithout any extra charge. This
line runs six fast express trains between
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, two
more than any other road, and connects
with all the great through lines East,
West, North and South. It is remarkably
| exempt from accidents by reason Of adopt
ing every modern appliance for comfort,

4 EDITOR NEWS: Permit me through
your columns, to call the attention OF
farmers to the subject Of grist mills,
i and the manner in which they are
| conducted. The nights being now
long, there Is time for studying this
matter over, anda thorough discussion
of this subject by farmers with each
other, might pave the way for action,
which might ultimately benefit all
concerned. am well aware that there
are mills which are condueted in an
honest and but iness-like manner, and
are a great benefit to the community
in, which they are situated, bat ali
mills are not so managed. Some are
conducted for the sole purpose of en-
riching the individual, Or firm, who
has control of the mill. It Is q fact
that some men, alter running a mill
for a few years, have embarked in bus
mess requiring heavy capital. This
proves one of two things, or both, viz:
that running q mill Is good paying
business, or that there are dishonest
men engaged iait. While 1 believe 1t
TO be very remuneratiVe, IalsO believe
there are rogues in the badness, Kho
make it pay big |; others, TOO, share In
the belIef. I have talked with men
whe preferred gOing thirty mEles to q
mlll honestly managed, with their
grist, in preference TO going one hours
drive from home 70 one which had
gained for itself the unenviabse repu-
tation OF keeping the griss and giving
the customer the toll. AndI know
several men who have gone, twenty
five miles with their grist, where they
got honest returns, rather than go half
the distance too mill, which, judging
from the retuFns In the sacks, must
have had an extra hole IA the spout.
Farmers have 70 toll ana sweat too
hard in the harvest field to be Tins I'M
mercifully swindled out .of the fruits
of their labor and see it embezzied by
unprincipled millers. As mills are
now managed, u farmers grist Is taken
into mill, ana when ground, Il Is put
into his wagon and be drives OF home
without knowing the weight Of his
wheat OF. the weight OF EisY returns.
he cannot tell tlle shripkage OF bis
grist; he can only guess that he has
been honestly dealt with or otherwise.
I claim that farmer has the right to
know the weight OF his wheat, of his
returns and the shrinkage of his grist,
and it isnothing more than justice chat |
he should know it. For this purpose
I would suggest that law be passed
By the Legislatnfe, compelling niIlsfs |
to weigh grists when taken into mill,
weigh the hour, bran and shorts when
taken from the mill, and give the
farmer q ticket with the weight of
each plainly marked on it 80 as to
show the shrinkaRe In weight Of the
grist. To make the law effective, PEN
alties In cases of noncompliance,
would be necessary. Such a law as
this would enable the farmer to know
exactly the returns from his grist,
also, what mill did best for him, and
patronize accordingly. would sug-
gest to the grange that they take up
this subject and discuss it in all its
