A Wheat Venture.

Mr.. Keene, the New York and Cali
fornia millionaire, and some Of his
friends have borrowed 100000 in
New York for seven months at five p or
cent. interest, to invest in wheat. They
do not intend making q "corner," Is it
is called, or anything of the kind, says
Mr.. Keene, but they regard wheat at
the present prices as the cheapest prop
erty there is gong, and they think they
can make money by investing in it.
They have already purchased about
four million bushels in Chicago at from
eighty to eighty-five cents per bushel,
and will hold it till spring.-Lawrence

CORN AND COAL.

We believe that the Kansas Pacific
Railway company has made . grand
mistake in maintaining the freight tariff
on coal at so high price. Of course
it is known to them, as we'll - to oil
others, that the fuel question 10 . very
important one to the people of this
prairie land. A few years ago tho for
ests upon our streams supplied the far.
mers with abundant fuel a. well - the
greater portion of town-people. In
those days wood was cheap, and those
who owned timber tracts were ready to
supply wood at very cheap prices
Ttey were poorer then than now, they
were improving their farms and recoiv.
ing very modest returns therefor in
the shape of products, and necessity
compelled them to turn their wood in.
TO money-even at prices which hardly
paid for the labor. We do not claim
that the timber supply has given out !
in fact, We believe it can be proven that
there is much more timber in Saline and
adjoining counties to-day than there
was ten years ago. But the population
is 90 much more dense now than then,
that it is impossible any longer to think
of wood as fuel for the greater number
Of our people. Farmers who live dis
tant from wooded streams (and their
name is legion) have to depend upon
some other fuel than coal. They have
found that, after driving miles to town
for load of coal, and paying therefor
at from 81 to $40 per ton, it is much
moro profitable for them to burn the
corn they raise IN their fields. There ia
much more corn used for fuel than most
people realize. 1t seems almost like
wickedly wasting bread, but it cannot
be helped so long IS coal and corn range
at their present prices. 1t is tho gene
raj complaint not only among the farm.
ers but among All others that the freight
on coal is much more than it should be
for the distance hauled. OF course it
rests entirely with the company to make
this most desirable change, and the peo-
pie are petitioning for it and expecting
it. 1t woald seem to us that the compa-
ny could make money by the change.
The corn which now goes to ashes. and
the vast quantities which must still be
consumed for fuel this winter, placed on
the cars OF the Railroad company, will
furnish the Company many more dol
lars in freight than they can possibly
obtain by demanding their present ex-
orbitant freight rates on coal.

THE SWISS PRESIDENT.

When the Swiss confederation elects
President there is very little brecze
over it. Politics seems to be lost srt
among the cantons. Half the popula-
ton don't know who their chief execu-
tive officer is. They seem to regard the
election of as little importance - do
some of our Republican friends . Prima-
~ election. The Swiss election is more
binding than our primaries, but seems
Of - little consequence. The Swiss are
governed lightly, and thus they are sat-
isfied with the powers which be. To
enable our readers to find out who is
the present President of Switzerland
Qor they may not find out by any other
means) We will state that Carl Ham,
mer Was elected to that Office on the
9th inst.
