RATHER FUNNY.

The St. Louis Republican says Isn't it
iunny about Tweed ~ Well, yes, it is rather
funny thai Democratic sheriff sbouId
have permitted him to escape, and funnier
still, that Democratic Governor has never
made move toward bringing the recreant
sheriff to account for thus be,rayins his
trust In the interest of the thieves. But the
funniest thing of all, "about Tweed is the
TACT that his former partner in the Tam
many steals and who, as Governor of New
York winked at the escape of the Boss, is
now the "Great Reform" candidate of the
l.. democratic party for the Presidency 1t is
funny about Tweed" so funny, that we are

EDITOR TINES During my leisure hours
l thought l would give you feE items
from Old Platte, the banner wheat and corn
county OF the State.
THE FARMERS
are all happy, 1.-THE first time for several
years. The wheat crop Is the heaviest We
have had since the organization of the
county. The area sown is greater and the
quality is better, and in addition to that
the wheat has turned out better; that is,
the yield per acre is larger than was ever
known before. Our best judges say the
wheat crop of Platte county is over half a
million bushels. The acreage that will be
sown this fall will exceed that of last year.
THE CORN.
The corn crop of the county will excel
that OF any previous year. At one time
during the early part of August We thought
the corn would be injured by the dry
weather, but the recent rains have dispelled
all such fears, The corn crop is now safe,
even though We do not have another drop
of rain.
CATTLE AND HOGS.
As all know, Platte county is strictly an
agricultural and stock raising county the
prosperity OF our farmers is sufficient evil
dence OF that fact.
TRADE.
The merchants Of the county are more
cheerful than they have been for years, and
were it not for Leavenworth their trade
would be enormous
The merchants of Leayenworth can con-
gratulate themselves that they are 30 near
Platte county, for we'll they know their
sales will be greater this year than for
many years past all they have to do is to
make an effort and they can still command
the larger share of the trade.
KANSAS CITY AND ST. JOE
are making desperate efforts to control the
trade OF Platte county. In fact, they are
now trying to monopolize all the advertis-
ing mediums OF the county, no matter what
shape they come in. They have even gone
20 far as to buy off a certain paper, and
have them reject ALL other advertisers in
Leayenworth whose business coniiicted with |
theirs. That speaks well for the trade of |
the county. 1t must be valuable, or they |
would not make such desperate efforts to |
control it,
LEAyENwoRTH
is the grand outlet for this portion of Platte
county, and it is her markets that our farm
ers depend upon. Ii the merchants and |
business men desire TO retain their trade,
hey must guard we'll their interests and
AXE every advantage to make known the
Inducements they have to offer to the peo-
,le OF Platte county. The sum and sub
tance of the whole thing ina
NUTSHELL
s this: The people of Platte county now,
md viii, have more money, this year, than
hey have had before, since the war, and
hose who offer the greatest inducements
sill get the bulk Of it. If the merchants
4 Leavenworth choose to remain idle,
sleep and slumber," the cities above and
Glow her will secure the Fall and Winter
rade. The best proof l can produce is to
efer to the columns of the county papers,
nd there they will see what Kansas Cit;
nd st. Joe are doing.

conditions OF the sale, and announced that
it was perfectly bona fide, and that no re-

A Pawnee Indian on Picket.

We were ordered to make detail tol
picket duty, says the correspondent OF
the Chicago Times, and, as the PaWnees
were dong nothing in particular, we
thought we'd give them aturn. Myser.
geant took half dozen OF them with the
guard, and, reaching the picket post,
explained that they would be two hours
on and four hours off duty. He said To
the PaWnee chief;
"Look at this watch. 1t is now G
O'clock. When the short hand goes
around twice YOU will call me and be re,
lieyei. DO you understand me?"
"Hey-hey-goodp said the Indian
and stalked away.
The sergeant, who was very tired
went to sleep, and was not disturbed un
til almost day.. Then he was aroused by
a hand being laid upon his shoulder.
He opened his eyes and saw the PaWnee
standing over him, watch in hand.
"Well, chief, what do you want - asked
the sergeant.
"PaWnee heap cold, much heap stif1,"
replied the warrior. ugh! that thing
indicating the watch) must lie. Long
finger (the minute handy him all right
Short nnger (the hour hand) he heap
damn tiredw
The sergeant laughed, and tried to en-
tighten the Indian as to mis- mistake
"Ugb!' was all the disgusted chief could
say, but he would have no more to dc
with the picket.
