Correspondence of the New
Letter from Kansas.
FRANKFoRr, Kansas, July. 1876.

FRANKFORT, Kansas, July, 1876.
EDITOR NEws:-The great Centen-
NAL day of our nation has come and
gone. The day was generally OBJ
served in most all our villages and
towns. A large excursion train went
over the Central Branch Union Pa
cifc r. R. from Watersville to Atch-
ison. There were 20 coaches filed
with passengers when they arrived
at Atchison- All enjoyed themselves
and were well entertained in Atch-
ison.
Our fall Wheat and Rye is all har-
vested. 1 think it viii yield from Is
to 25 bushels to the acre. Spring
Wheat looks, tolerably well, but we
never can tell certain it what will
make till it is harvested. It viii be
ready to harvest in 10 or Is days.
Oats and Barley will be first rate.
Our prospect for corn crop is the
best that I have ever seen since /
have been here. 1t is mostly as high
as a horses back, and fine dark
color.
Plenty of all kinds of garden veg
etables. The season has been good
for the last or 6 weeks-just rain
enough to make it seasonable.
1 have seen no sign of Grasshop-
pers here yet.
We will not have much tame fruit,
as our orchards are all young, but
there will be plenty of wild fruit,
such as plums, grapes and gooseber-
ries..
Some of our farmers are threshing
their Wheat out of the shocks and
selling it at S1.O0 to S1.15 per
bushel.
Politics are at low ebb. Gov.
Hayes has the inside track in this
State. Neither party has made NOM
nations for State officers yet.
Yours Truly, VIM. SIDERS.

SPRINGFIELD & JACKSON r. R.-A
dispatch from Jackson says: "Presi-
dent Emmitt, of the S. J. & P. Mar
row-gauge Railroad, was here Tues
day night, and addressed railroad
meeting. There is now probabili-
ty that a third rail will be put down
by the Scioto Valley Railroad from
Waverly to this point. Mr.. Emmitt's S
visit here is mainly to explain the
status of the road, and to urge stock
holders to pay up promptly. He
concluded with the remark that
"the road must and will be built, y
which remark was received with ap-
plause.

A Few Things that We Know.

We know that disordered stomach or
liver produces more suffering than any
other cause. We know that very few
physicians are successful in their treatment
of these disorders. We know that DaCos-
tas Radical Cure will, without the shadow
of doubt almost Immediately relieve and
permanently cure all of these distressing
symptoms. We know of thousands who
are willing to testify that what we say is
true to the letter. We know that if you
will give it fair trial you will let us add
your name to the 'cloud of witnesses.
viii you give it trial, and do it now?
Trial size only 25o. Sold by JAMES
BROWN.
Prof. Parker's Pleasant Worm Syrup is
perfectly safe and extremely palatable.
No physic required. Costs 25 cts. Try it.

Murder viii Out.

A few years ago "August Flower" was
discovered to be certain cure for Dyspep-
sia and Liver complaint; few thin Dys-
peptics made known to their friends how
easily and quickly they had been cured by
its use. The great merits of GREENS
AUGUST FLOWER became heralded through
the country by one sufferer to another, un-
til, without advertising, its sale has be-
come immense. Druggists in EVERY Town
in the United States are selling it. No
person suffering with sour stomach, sick
headache, costiveness, palpitation of the
heart, indigestion, low spirits, &C.. can
take three doses without relief. Go to
your Druggist.
...........and get a bottle for 70 cents and
try it. Sample bottles 10 cents.

Correspondence of the News.
Letter from the Centennial.
PHILADELPHIA, July, 1876.

HILADELPHlA, ou1y, 1910.
Mr.. EDIroR:-No doubt you have
numerous voluntary correspondents
at the Centennial, but I presume that,
so long as one person thinks he can
see more and write better than any
one else, you will be likely troubled
with this correspondence.
On Friday evening we arrived at
Washington, D. G. as tired, sleepy
and dusty as any two men you have
seen lately, readers. Your correspon-
dent repaired to barbers'shop, and
after halfhour's work, the man in
Charge said that 1 began to lock like
"a white man.
As both houses of Congress were
in session we repaired to the Capitol,
to see those august bodies. In the
Senate, they were giving their atten-
ton to amendments to the House ap-
preparation bills. Here Mr.. Bayard
made the first speech for sTilden
and Refor-rum! The occasion was
this: The Senate Committee on Ma
val affairs reported an amendmentap-
propriating $5OO,OOO for repairs and
preservation of navy yards. Mr.. Bay
ard opposed it. Of course we tried
to see all the sights in our two days
stay at Washington, but I do not
know that I have any thing of inter
est to add to what has been written
from here.
With the exception of the Capitol,
the new State, War and Navy Dept.
Building will be the most grand and
imposing of all the public buildings.
The State Dept, now completed, is
indeed the most pleasing of all the
Government buildings.
While in the Capitol we were the
guest of the Reporter of the House
Investigating Committee, who had
Just returned from Louisiana, where
the Committee has been at work.
There I met the Reporter of the
Senate Investigating Committee, for
Mississippi. They are well satisfied
that there is much foul play toward
the colored men in the South.
Our host was too much engaged
with his reports to show us the city,
but he furnished agreeable substi-
tutes in the shape of two young la
dies who resided with him.
We are now "doi'eg" the Centent
pial Exhibition, but from present ap-
pearances we will be "dorae" first.
The display on the 4th was very
1t will make my letter too
long to notice it here. Most of the
Centennial troops are leaving the city
now. l am informed that the q. S.
cadets from West Point will leave to-
day.
Gov. Hayes held reception at the
Ohio State Building on the after
noon of the Sd and 4th. Democrats
from the South do not appear to
hope for victory in November, and
seem to be but little interested in
the campaign.
I think this Centennial will bring
about better state of feeling be-
tween the North and South. Some
Of the Southerners were evidently
doubtful as to their reception, but
have been much associated with one
and he tells me all are
much pleased with their experience
here.
Yours, SCRIPTOR.

EXTREME HEAT.-The month Of Ju-
ly Just closed will be memorable for
its intense heat throughout the coun-
try, but particularly in the Eastern
cities. Even in California, for six
successive days, the mercury ragged
from 90 to 100, all over the State
being the hottest weather ever known
in the State.

DR.. David Noble, DR.. Fullerton,
Sheriff Newell, and Boardman of the
News, all of Hillsboro, spent part of
Monday and Tuesday in the city on
political business. The gentlemen
we're very warmly received and made
at home, and left decidedly favora-
BILE impression. During their spare
hours they were taken in hands and
shown the sights and lions of the
Ancient Metropolis under favorable
circumstances. They enjoyed to the
full the many beautiful views in and
about the city, and were 10th to leave
DR.. Noble, in addition to being
very agreeable gentleman, is a
wealthy, well preserved, fine e-looking
bachelor, and if he will only come
over and stay week or two, we
think he would find an affinity who
could induce him to make Chillico-
the his permanent residence.-Chil.

A ROtfOnl Fact.

''Mr. James G. Pipney, of this village,
well known to most of our readers, has
used the Triumph Truss and Rupture
Remedy only about weeks, but believes
he is entirely cured of dangerous Rup-
ture, which has attended him from early
infancy. The Truss and Remedy cost him
$40; but he places the cash value of their
benefit to him at more than ten times that
sum. y From 1.-The Expositor," Sturgeon
Bay, Wis, of June 16, 1876.
The Triumph Truss and Remedy are
sold at 334 Bowery, N Y, and 1916 Chest
nut St., Philadelphia. Send 10 cents for

Our Candidate for Congress.

The Republican Convention held here last Thurs
day, did a wise thing in nominating Col. A. L.
Brown, of Ross county, for Congress. He is one
of the most popular men in Ross county, and is
also well known and highly esteemed in this coun-
ty. His triumphant election to the State Senate
last year, from this district, where his predeces-
sor, Democrat, was elected by several hundred
majority was the best proof of his strength before
the people, and though he enters the race with
verv heavy odds against him, it would not at all
surprise if he should again come out victorious
He willreceive the whole Republican vote, and
hundreds of Democrats who are disgusted with the
unfairness by which Mr.. Diclley got his nomina-
ton, will also support Col. Brown. Let every Re-
publican work for his election, and he may be our
next Congressman.

Death of kIonzo S. Poe.

On last Sunday afternoon, A. S.
Poe, son in-law of Judge J. G. Nor

honors. He died at Salina, Kansas,
where he was making his home, after
a brief illness. Although the day was
very unpleasant, the Order was out
in full force, and we never saw the
ceremonies more impressively per-
formed. A special train from Chilli
