He also takes charge of the post office in con nection with his other business our post mas ter, Horace Fenn, having fancy for delving in ''mother earth" Indeed, he has through past years been much inclined that way hav- ing done good deal of that sort of work about his premises, which he has enlarged from time to time. Last year he purchased number of acres half a mile out, on North St., where he intends more particularly to display his skill the coming season, in the favorite arti- cle of corn.

RUSSELL, RUSSELL COUNTY, KANsAs.


 MIR. EDIToR.-Some three years ago I wrote number of letters for the Enquirer, giving my impression of Western Kansas. Itwas then so to speak, an unknown and untried country. left. Litchfield County five years ago, thls month, and settled on the extreme frontier No crops had been raised and the buffalo in herds of from two to fifty we're roaming over the prairie, and fleet antelope were bounding away from packs of wolves like punches of cotton before whirlwind.
 Sod wasturned over and planted, but drouth, hot winds and grasshoppers, scorched and de- veured all the crops and the people were in danger of starvation. Timely assistance came from the east, and another year gave abundant crops. Still emigration was slow until after the centennial exhibition, when perfect ava lanche of settlers came and have been coming down ever since and favorable season, last year, has changed Russell County from new to an old country. Immense fields of wheat of 40, 30, 160 and 320 acres, look like emerald isles in the ocean of prairie reapers and self-binders were introduced, last season. Every acre of government land was tsken up by settlers, and now the railroad and school lands are nearly all taken and the cry is 'Still they come" Respectfully

He has been gone from our county so long that he don't realize that Goshen is a town on the highlands with a small population, and he says, ''I wish HI. N.' would give little more local news" And he don't like to have me give the news about Comets and stars" for they have such things out there was on the cars, last week, and the first thing young lady said was, ''Mr. N. have you found any more glacial scratches?"

Millions at Stake !!

The most important measure of many years has probably already como to decisive vote in the United States Senate. It is bill report ed by the Judiciary committee compelling the Pacific railroads to make some suitable provis- ion for payment of the government bonds when they come due in 1898.
 People are generally aware of the trick practiced on Congress by the railroad lobby, by which the payment of any interest on the government bonds is postponed till they are due, twenty years hence. They know, too, that the so-called stock of those companies rep resents no cash capital, but that the roads were entirely built and equipped with the proceeds of the first mortgage bonds and of the govern ment loans and grants. They are probably aware, too, that Mir. Huntington, controlling the Central Pacific, and Jay Gould, controlling the Union Pacific, have been straining every nerve to defeat the Thurman bill, by offering delusive funding measures in it's place, and by using that style of influence over legislative bodies for which Gould was so notorious in the days when the Ring was supreme in New York, and corruption rampant at Albany Gould has the support of Mr. Blaine, of Mr. Conkling, of every Senatorial Carpet Bagger, and of few Senators for whom we have high respect. On the other side are Edmunds, Thurman, Bayard, and we profoundly hope a majority of the whole Senate.
 The amount that will be saved the govern ment by the passage of this bill is probably not less than fifty million dollars, and may be twice that sum-an amount of money the over-taxed people of the country can i'll spare to pile yet higher Jay Goulds enormous hoard of robbers plunder.

A short time after, as he was leaning up against his barn and serenely contemplating the burning bush, he suddenly felt an agreeable warmth at his back. Turning around he was astonished ! to find that his barn was in flames. Some of the sparks had been carried by the wind to the straw in the barn. With the help of boy he tried to save a valuable horse-rake that was in the barn, but they were so much excited that one pulled one way, and the other the other way, and 1t had to be given up to the flames; total loss estimated at $2OO. l The pews in our church were sold last Monday for some $93o,0 The pew-rent will now be collected every Sunday.

There was all auction on the farm of the late Riey M. Rexford, last week Since the death of hr. Rexford, the place has been hired by Chs Hart.
 Pratt & Foster have sold the farm kdown as tie 'sEmmons place" to Roger White. We understand that Mir. White is to take posses sion oon.
 Il short time since Pratt, & Foster sent a quantity of meal by W. c. Stone, to Goshen. It wa delivered in Goshen some time the next day. On opening it, one bag was found to contain ashes only. It seems strange that a theft 8 open as this should be allowed to pass without investigation. We understand that the load was left over night at the Emmons farm, tut was securely locked in the barn by the mal who lived there.

Temperance in Litchield.

The Temperance movement which has been
 sweeping over the country and through other
 parts of Litchfeld county has finally reached
 Litchfeld. On Thursday evening last, MT.
 Geo. B. Graves, of Waterbury, began series
 of addreses at.Armery Hall. At first his audi
 ences were small, but on Sunday evening
 there was really fine meeting which filled
 the Hall to it's utmost capacity, about one
 hundred and fifty persons signing the pledge
 Mir. Graves is very effective temperance
 worker. Himself mechanic, and for more
 than twenty years man of incorporate hab-
 it's he appeals more effectively to the great
 majority of those who are now the slaves of
 the alcoholic appetite than speakers of
 more culture and oratorical power who have
 never themselves suffered from this awful
 curse. There is. moreover, most grateful ab-
 sence in his case of the faults of taste and
 manner which so often mar the efforts of men
 of his class. There in none of that hateful vul-
 garity, that envy of wealth, culture and po- sition, and that denunciatory hatred and un- charitableness, which so often disfgure the public addresses of the reformed working man." His whole manner indicates the deep
 lypenitent, thoroughly earnest man, the sincere christian, and the reformer 90 completely bound up in his reform as to have no thought of self
 Of the effects of the movement started among us it is too early to speak intelligently, except to congratulate the friends of the cause on having made . most suspicious beginning. The meeting of Sunday evening was the lar gest temperance meeting held in Litchfsld since the old temperance times thirty or forty years ago. Near four hundred persons were present; their interest was thoroughly aroused, and at times most intense and there was great joy over the number of the signers and in the hope that the work of reformation had at last begun among us.
 The meeting of Monday evening was even more encouraging than that of the evening be- fore. The Congregational Chapel was filled, both the main audience room, and the parlors above and below. After the reelection of the old officers of the Centennial Total Abstinence Society, a stirring address was made by Mir. Graves, and large number of signatures were obtained. The total number now exceeds three hundred, an excellent showing consider ing that general interest was not aroused till the meeting of Sunday evening Mir. Graves has other appointments for this week, but re- turns on Sunday next, when women's organ ization will be effected, and an address deliver ed at Armory Hall in the evening. Let us have a full turn out of every Blue Ribbon and of all others interested in the subject of Temper ance.
 It really looks, in short, as if the people of old Litchield were taking long onward and upward step in this grand reform; and as if we were at last perceptibly approaching the safe ground of total abstinence from the use of all intoxicating liquors.

Falls Village,
LITTLR GHoNNlE.

A very destructive fire occurred on Wednes- day night on Beebee Hill, near Falls Village; the house of MT. John Donlon, with all his household furniture, barns, corn crib, wagons, harnesses, moving machines, and other imple ments of farming, were all consumed, besides, eleven head of cattle,-three COWS, five year. lings, three calves, and two more COWS were 80 fearfully burned that it is doubtful whether they recover. The fire was first discovered about one p. In. Mir. Donlon immediately ran to his baln, where he cut the halters of two colts which escaped. He then tried the third, smaller one, but was obliged to carry him out. This caused some delay. He then went to the rescue of his team horses, valuable pair, but they were already on fire; and the fire and smoke so stihed him that he fell down, and crawlsd out on his hands and knees, leav- ing his horses to their fate. He also had quite quantity of grain and burned two barrels of pork and potatoes. He had been well supplied with all the necessaries of life, but was able to save scarcely anything as the house and barns all burned at once. He is very indus trious man who had begunin a small way and accumulated good deal of property and he has the sympathy of the entire community. It is supposed to be the work of an incendiary, as no light of any kind was. used at the barn by any of the family.
 The weather is still spring like, old March having departed in the most lamblike manner, awfully disappointing the prophets. H.
