The Wichita Eagle, speaking o. irl-
proyements in that city says: 'Ono
can hardly keep the run of permanent
improvements being made within our
city. New and tasty residences and
cottages are going up in every part of
the city, and permanent business
houses are being contracted for almost
daily. The only trouble now in the
way of building business houses is ths
want OF brick, which want will be met
in the course of two or three weeks"
The balmy valley of the Arkansas
has been visited with "nerther"
which caused much suffering among
the cattle which had been turned out
to Craze.
The editor OF the Eagle says that
"Whank,'' HE Wichita correspondent
of the Kansas City journal, ''has al
ready made quite a reputation as a
liar, and we would advise that paper
to drop him for its own good
Now comes proposition from the
married men of Wichita to organize a
crusade against "'fuss, feathers and
fashion," miIiiner shops and dry goods
stores. Squads are TO be detailed for
the different wards to sing, or pray, or
cuss, as the case and locality may seem
to demand, once day for three weeks,
or until millinery and dry goods bills
are reduced.-Wichita Eagle.
The Belle Plain Democrat says
"Some parties have planted corn near
here, but we think It is too soon.

May, has been the best time to plant,
so far, in this county"
This is the way the Hutchinson
News man explains his almost contin-
ued absence from church: tsSuch is
the number of newcomers that when
we attend church we feel almost as il
we were in band of strangers The
influx of immigrants astonIshes the
natives. We are glad to say that the
appearance of our new friends and
lneighbors indicate an excellent class
of people"
