Judge o. p. Hamilton went to Fit. Harker
yesterday to survey the eight sections in the
reserve which the X. p. Railway are entitled
to. This reserve Is about to be opened for
settlement, and already settlers hover about it
waiting for notice to jump.
We attended the picnic given by the young
people Of the Berg and Garlin neighbOrhoods in Henry
Oltman's grove last Saturday afternoon. and enjoyed
ourseif even beyond what We had anticipated Dan
Lockwood and the writer arrived upon the ground at
dnnerserved by Miss Annie Cariin, and were voted
by the hungry to be the most ravinous yu
lures "a lying We did not arrive in time to hear
Van Martin. Alex Berg or Mr. Enoch crate, but I'm
ders;and that they handled their subjects in grandilo-
reliable. bu, that Is probably what We should have
SAID had they delivered their speeches.) The
afternoon was spent IN social
and all voted II the joest picnic they had ever
been TO. During the afternoon took look the farms
of Messrs. sHcnry Gilman and II. l.. Jones. Mr.
Gilman has fine piece of land and very successful
raising vegetables. and his crops sill look we'll. H.
L. Jones has the reputation OF keeping the best vege
table and fruit farm in this part Of the State. And
well he deserves the compliments passed upon his
plum trees; grape, raspberry. bactberry, and strsw-
berry Yves and large beds Of vegetables OF AL kinds

Under the new time table the trains on the X.
p. railroad are making very good time. Be-
tween Kansas City and Salina they run -
OF Sallna they run from ~ TO d miles per
hour. At a number OF stations where travel
is light, the mail bag catchers" have been put
up and the express and passenger trains do
not stop at those points. New Cambria, in
this county, has the mail catcher" Persons
going to that place from Salina, should take
the 6:40 train in the morning. In consequence
OF the change, MIR. Jackson, station agent. has
been Obliged to adopt the following rules,
which he has sent out in circular to business
men:
First-Regular Office hours will be from 200
A. VI. TO 1900 NJ, and from Loo r. n. to6-00P. N.
Secopd- Ticket office will be open 30 minutes
before departure OF each train.
Third-Express will be received for the East
up to s:i5 An, and for the westup to- Pm. Ex-
press will be delivered any time during regu-
lar office hours.
Fourth-No local freight will be received
for shipment after 5P.M No bills Of Lading
for carloads will be received or signed after
$50 T. ".
Freight will be delivered from . A. NJ, to IL
NJ. and from to $50 p. N.
In arranging this, have been just as liberal
in time as possible, allowing the public all that
Icould and reserving for ourselves only enough
" which TO close up business. In consequence
of this, we snail be obliged to adhere strictly
TO the rules. and trust that all will bear them
in mind and attend to business at the proper
time-for our trains run In such a way that
shall be compelled to refuse any deviations
from the hours. as given above.
Heretofore Mr. Jackson 'established no
special hours as trains arrived At such hours
as compelled him TO be there early and late.
and he then was not compelled 20 confine the
receiving and delivery Of freight to special
hours. He certainly INDUCED our business
men then. and they should now accept the
new order Of things without complaining.
