The Narrow Gauge to OskaiOO.n.
North Topeka Times, " ]
The Leavenworth narrow gauge railway
is now agitating the question of building a
branch from their main line to Osk kaloosa.
This will be known as the Topeka branch.
They ask $40 600 in township bonds, when
they will build their line to that point
We are not very enthusiastic in regard TO
the bond question, but the present seems to
be very liberal proposition on the part OF
the railway company, and as Oskaloosa
| may never again have another so favorable
! an opportunity for railroad, We think
they would act wisely in &C 'epting the
proposition. A half loaf is better than
none at all.

A Pig Found ~ucki"x = Miich Gov
[Cor Manhattan Nationalist, 25
A gentleman in town who owns new
milch COW noticed lately that she shrank in
her milk at night terribly, he being unable
to get any milk at all in the morning As
he took care TO fas.en the calf from the
yard securely nights, and the COW giving
large quantity each evening, he was neces-
sarily mystitied and somewhat alarmed
But few mornings since upon going to
milk he discovered a fine young shoat kept
in the yard taking his matutinal meal with
much apparent enjoyment. The mystery
was explained, his pig>h p removed TO less
luxurious quarters, and the supply Of milk
was equal to the demand"
The Manhattan Convention 20 be
Held In the New school lsuiIdinx.
Manhattan Nationalist, 26l
The new school house is the only build
ing in town large enough to properly ac-
commodate the Congressional Convention
Manhattan cannot afford to undertake TO
crowd the delegates and lobby into room
that will not hold the half Of them. We
must put our best foot forward. The large
room in the school house is larger than
Peaks Hall, and there are other rooms and
halls for the accommodation of committees,
etc, besides the fine groves close by. With
proper care the building would not be in
jured, and, even il a little of the first
gloss should he taken of that might as
well be done by the Convention as by school
children.
KaEsas, To thc World, Greeting.
Miami Republican, %
Mr.. J. c. Collins of Richland township,
had yellow field corn eighty-thr, days old
the 10Th day Of this month, hard enough to
feed to hogs. Mr.. Collins is a good farmer
and his success is largely due to his own
efforts, but in 10 other State but Kansas
can this feat he accomplished. Kansas
challenges the world as an agricultural |
State. Kansas at home surpasses Kansas
at the Centennial. Come and dwell with |,
us in peace and plenty.

Independence Kansan, 2Il
There are now on exhibition at the |
Caldwell House three birds, or things, that |
are worth going many miles to see. There |
are much like an owl in size and shape, are
richly feathered, have broad faces that |
strongly assemble an ape, ears like hu-
man being, andia pouch on .heir throats
which they fill with wind with which they |
make a peculiar Kissing sound similar to
that of a goose. They are found in the
Cherokee Nation and are the first specimens
of the kind ever seen there. No person
knows what they are and no work on natu-
raj philosophy makes mention of them.
They are the property of the cook, and can
be seen free of charge.

lOlathe Progress, 25-I
A little the most insolent thing that we
have heard of happened in this city one
pay last week. A great slobbering fellow
came in from the country and going into
one Of the business houses a young lady in
the store came around to wait on him.
Upon being asked what he desired he told
the young lady-a total stranger to him
that he wanted her to kiss him. She re-
sponded by sending for the Marshal, who
the fellow and after frightening
him hall out OF his wits told him il he
would get on his horse backwards and ride
out Of as hand as he could go, in that posi-
