HOWEs THIS
That the Howe Scales are the Best in
the Market.
Read the Following And Find Out.

We noticed in the Chicago Tribune an article
from Johnsons Universal Cyclop~dia, which
was written by Professor James A. Whitney,
of New York, Presid.n: of the Society Of
Practical Engineering, in which he ranks the
Howe Scales far above all Others. He says:
" A Howe Railroad Scale, capable OF weigh
ing thirty tons, has been made 10 perfect in
working and adjustment tat its beam w;rS
turned 10y a silver quarter being laid upon its
PLATFORM"
Being desirous of giving our bu men
all the information on 50 important a mat
ter led US to investigate in our own town.
With this intention, We started
out yesterday afternoon TO visit our
leading merchants, whom We know use the
Eowe Scales. The frst place visited WAS the
commission house of G"ey a Leslie, on MaiI,
street, and we stated 10 Mr.. Grey that We
would like to have his opinion on the Howe
Scale.
Mr. Grey.-we have had the four-ton Howe
Scale, that We now have, in use for the past
four years, ard consider thai they are the best
scales made. Our scale has never been out OF
repairs, and it il now as good as new.
Being satisfied with the recommends
ton, that Mr.. Grey gave the scales, We visi-
ted the wholesale gIoceIy house vi Cochran,
Birtman * Taylor, aid finding Mr.. Taylor,
asked him how the Howe scales stood IN hi,
estimation
Mr. Taylor-we have recently changed our
Fairbanks for a Howe, and thus far IL has
given entire satisfaction, and shows 10 indi-
cation of wearing out, aud We have plenty Of
business to test IL?
The next place visited was the extensive
Touring mills OF H. u. Rush, who has four of
the Howe scales In operation, and to oGr
questions he replied as follow:
Mr.. Rush-The Howe scales have always
given complete satisfaction, and think they
are the best in the market. Mr.. Rush threw
out the Fairbanks, Hopper aud other scales.
and says the latter is far superior.
We then visited Whitaker & Sons, pack
ing hoase, on South Second street, and Van
Whitaker, the Juni n member Of the firm
was loud in his praise of the Howe scales; be-
sides the two they have at the packing house
they have one at Fairmount, and in all case,
the scales have given complete Satisfaction.
Matt Ryan also has n tnirfy-ton scale on
the switch at South Leavenworth. Though
we were not able TO see him, the men in his
employ said that the scales can be depended
upon in all instances for light or heavy
weight. A few minutes ride brought us to
the mammoth hide establishment of W. Z.
Lobenstein. Mr.. L. not being In the city We
were met by Mr.. Mooth, the affabIe book
keeper and, in response 10 our questions in
regard TO the Howe scales, said that for their
business they We're the best manufactured;
that the salt used in packing hides did
not corrode the pivots, ,as the ball attachment
takes all the wear from the knife edge, and
that they were ALWAYS found true TO an ounce

Strange Revelations from the ..Sptr.
IL Land,

Strange Revelations from the ..Spir.
IL Land,
The causes that led to the death of Frank
Barnum have long been shrouded i'm mys-
terry, and, as far as legal evidence goes, are
likely 10 remain so. For the information of
those OF our readers who were unacquainted
with the deceased or the manner of his death.
II Will he necessary TO explain who Mr.. Bar
mum was, his business, and other points
Mr.. Barnum was what may may be termed
an Old resident. For several years he was
manager OF an evening paper, since gone the
way of all evening papers in Kansas Civ
ing n rich widow, he soon became part
owner and proprietor of the hotel on the cor
ner of Fourth and Main streets which still
bears his name He proved to;be a successful
hotel manager.
His health failing, Mr.. Barnum was ad-
vised by his physicians to visit Sweet SPRINGS
near Brownsville, i'm this State In the ho,,f,
that by rest and freedom from business cares
he would recover from his illness. He had
been absent about a week, when his wife and
friends were startled by The announcement
that Mr.. Barnum had been foully murdered
by persons unknown, and his body partially
slid into a pond near where the deed was
committed. A hatchet. the weapon used nv
the murderer, was found near by His mon-
ey, watch and valuables We're undisturbed.
ing further has been developed than that the
cecd was committed by two colored men,
who were traced TO Chicago and there lost
sight OF.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barnum were believers I'm
spirit1aiism, and Mr.. r. had often asserted
ahal when he should die he would return TO
convince his unoelieving friends of the truth
oi tue hereafter s.viewed from a Spiritual
Isl standpoint Naturally, Mrs. b. consulted
hediuin 10 ascertain If any fidings of her
husbands spirit and the manner OF his death
could be found. IL is stated that the departed
gentleman himself appeared upon the scene
and related that he had been killed and his
body thrown into the pond by the two col
cred men, as supposed, and further that they
had long been his enemy
The spiritual control of the medium furth-
er announced that grief and remorse had 50
preyed upon his. eneiny's mind that he died
snortiy alter, and was present with him m
the spirit world, a penitent sinner for his mis-
deeds The spirit then requested, as IL would
he a needless expense to Mrs r. that finn her
search AFTER the guilty parties be stopped
Tls, indeed, a strange revelation, and we
