CHANGERS FEAST.

EDITOR NEWS: Could you have
looked IN on the harvest feast of Chi
cago Mound Grange, at the Martin
school house on Saturday night Jan.
18th, and any thoughts you may ever
have entertained dlsparaging to the
competency of grangers getting up
things in style would have been quick
ly dispelled. You can just imagine
table extending the entire breath, of
the room, spread with substantials and
all the delicacies of the season, includ-
ing, oysters, roast chicken, turkey,
mince pies. pudding. cakes of all kinds
deIecately frosted and beautifully or
namented, with all the etceteras neces-
s2ry to make up a really SPLENDID
feast, and you will have faint idea
OF what could have been seen on this
occasion.
Around the festive board were as
sembled between fifty and sixty mem
bers of the order, many of them vIsi-
tors from other oranges, partaking Of
the good things thereof, and indulging
largely in social intercourse. All
grange topics were freely discussed,
especially our store In Emporia, and
with one accord all united in the firm
determination to support said store,
in preference to all others. Much
credit is due the lady members OF
Chicago Mound Grange for the man
ner In which this feast was prepared,
and we male members have come to
the conclusion that harvest feasts in
mid-winter are "shoost right"
The feast being over the grange was
closed, and returned to their respect
i've homes, feeling that co be . granger
is a good thing, and to all outsiders we
would say, join the Patrons and be
happy.

miles south of Hartford.
Stock is doing well this winter.
There was not much wheat sown,
but what We have looks well at this
time.
The following statement will show
what some of our live farmers are do
ing: J. B. Sutton has 160 acres of
land, so of which is in cultivation. He
has apple and peach orchards; some of
his trees are bearing fruit. Sam. Bar
ring has g fine farm. d. Smith has
160 acres under fence, with a number
of bearing fruit trees. E. II. Smith
has so acres, some of it broken. Ed.
Smith has so acres, all fenced, with G
good hedge growing. He also has a
good barn, and has his yard seeded in
blue grass, and planted with fru trees.
He will, We think, build a good house
and catch a bird for it one of these
days. j. L. Smith has 80 acres, 40
fenced; house and barn. He expects
to build a good residence next sum-
mer. He has fine herd of cattle. j.
A. Holden has 16O acres, 40 fenced !;
has some fruit trees growing. John is
& bachelor, but none the worse for it.
He has been fixing two rooms of his
house. He is a good fellow. Mrs.
Andrews, the widow of John Andrews,
who died last spring, has 160 acres, ali
fenced. Mr.. Andrews had built a
good house, and was nearly ready to
move into it when he died. He was
one OF our best men. The neighbor-
hood misses him. d. r. Perry has 40
acres, all fenced; and has house and
barn. He has q good start in stock.
The Doctor is making money. James
Mccullough comes next. He has 100
acres, mostly fenced. He has good
stock, and Is doing well. Milton Nc
CullOugh has q good farm and some
stock. L. C. Gardner is our great
stock man. He Is also clerk of OH
school district, and has bought him q
book, and lives at home. We say
good for you, Lyman; and advise the
treasurer to go and do likewise.
| We have some coal on Four Mile
The vein is nine inches thick, and the
coal is of good quality. Can be reach

There is talk of other settlers com.
ing amongst US in the spring. Lei
them come. There is room for goo6
people all the time.
Our school closed in December. Il

A SUGGESTION.

have read with considerable inter-
est the "report of the board of COM
missioners on the public institutions"
and 1t seems to me that the facts there
presented, and arguments adducsd, in
favor of concentrating the three char
liable institutions at some "central
point" are unanswerable. The COM
missioners estimate the net saving tn
the state in ten years at $19S, 425. Up
on examination of the items going to
form this aggregate, 1 think they are
very low, and that the saving could be
made greater than their estimate.
desire to offer few reasons why EN-
poria should be selected as the best
place for such location.
1st. 1t is more nearly central than
any other suitable place, being almost
the exact center of population, and
likely to remain SO from the develop
ment of the state in every direction.
End. 1t is more easily accessible by
rail than any other 'central point"
Sd. It is proverbially one of the
healthiest places in the state.
4th. Suitable sites for buildings can
be had cheaper than at any other ''cen-
trail point
9Th. Buildings can be erected here
cheaper than at any other central point
in the state. The State Normal school
was built cheaper than any similar
building In the west. Brick and stone
of the best quality are cheaper than at
any point where these institutions will
be likely to be located. Lumber is as
cheap as at any point in the interior.
9Th. Supplies for the institutions can
be purchased and delivered here cheap
er than at any other central point"
9TH. Emporia will probably be the
capitol of the state within the next
five years, when four at least of the
state institutions can be under the i'm
mediate supervision of the state au-
thorities.
trust our legiSls .Ors will consider
carefully all the advantages and dis
advantages of the various localities
presented, and decide wisely, and for
the best interests OF the state, both
present and prospective.

THE KAw DI.a1NIsHED RESERVE.


We clip the following from the
Council Grove Democrat:
EDEroR DKAOcRAT: while the de-
Velopment of coal has absorbed the
minds of our people recently, we must
not forget our Kaw lands, which in
terest is second to none in the county.
The "Kaw Reserve" which contains
some OF the most fertile and produc-
tive lands in Kansas, Is now being set
tied up rapidly by experienced farmers
as general thing, who have the means
to pay for the land when it comes into
market.
Some of our citizens, am sorry to
say, have been silly enough to charge
| that the reserve is "settled up by pau
| pers," who are trespassers upon said
lands. This idea Is absurd, as our
| neighboring counties and states sent
some of their best citizens upon these
lands to find homes tor themselves and
to become a part of Morris county.
| I learn from MesSers. Martin s. Burk-
hart, to whom the citizens Of this
county are indebted for having these
lands located, that there are &C present
about two hundred and fifty families
upon said diminished reserve, and that
the lands are being rapidly taken up.
The settlers maintain an organization
known as the '.Kaw Reserve Settlers
Association" with r. Lovett, Presi-
dent and j. p. Burkhart, Secretary
They keep 3 record, and every settler
is required 70 register his claim. They
hold their regular meeting every Sat
urday. Everything moves along
agreeably, there is no strife nor dis
cord, and whenever there Is any dis
puts about q claim it Is settled by &
regular court, and every settler feel:
that his honor is at stake, and all abide
by the decisions of said court.
The secretary of the interior has for
warded to congress q bill bringing SAID
lands into market, which was refer ret
to the committee on public lands, they
