Uncle Sans condition powders, they
say, cures and prevents disease. But
they are not circumstance compared
to Ben. Litowich's vast stock of dress
and fancy goods which creates peace and
health in the family quicker than all the
condition powders which were ever Gre
ated.
What terrible havoc there has been
in pork prices. People stand aghast at
the showing of the market. Prices are
as low as SO, 80 per hundred. A fellow
contemplates his portly poker with dis
may, thinking many cuss words over
the fact of his having spent SO much
money in expanding the sides of the
animal. Corn dirt cheap, and yet no
money in hogs. Terrible Is the situa-
ton.
Minneapolis people are beginning to
wonder whether that K. T. branch will
be built. The news with reference
thereto hos not been very pleasing of
late.-Journal.
You are quite off the track, brother
Sampson, everything is being pushed
forward with all possible speed, and we
have every prospect that the road will
be here on time, according to contract

Some Of our Saline county politicians
who think there must be change, and
who now set themselves up as the rulers
of Saline county, with the intention of
reforming everything, are about as pure
and virtuous as was the courtezan who
played the part of Goddess of Reason in
that"eminently pure" Parison procession
OF the Revolution. The political guillotine
may "play hob" with their intentions,
too-for 1t is ga very, very long lane
that has no turn"-these politics are.

ed Messrs. Libbey &Eastman their agents
at this place. 1t is the intention of all
concerned in the agency that this organ
shall be placed in nearly every home
in Central and Western Kansas before
another fall. Mr.. Pierce is very
pleasant gentlman, whose acquaintance
we were glad to make.
The Salina delegates to the German
convention which convened in Topeka,
last week Tuesday, viz: Seitz, Dihle, and
Bondi, were all prominent in the pro-
ceedings thereof, and "got their work
in" pretty well. Oscar Seitz was elected
Treasurer of the association. The asso-
citation will meet in Salina on the second
Wednesday in April, 1879. The strife
for the location of the next meeting was
between Lawrence and Salina. The Sa-
lima boys put in their chest ticks" and
Salina finally won, as she always does.

The Herald seems to put up its opin-
ion against that of DR.. Jenny, Frank
Davis physician, relating to the latter's
condition when he was put in the coun.
ty Jail. The Herald says Davis was
in the last stages of consumption when
he was first placed in Jail, while Dr.
Jenny says he was healthy man, OF
strong constitution. People generally
consider DR.. Jenny q better physician
than the Herald, and better prepared
to testify as to the condition of DAVIS
Davis was brought into the last stages
Of consumption by being confined IN that
vilainous Jail, and Sam Long and
the Herald cannot cover up this fact.
Last Monday the county officers elect
walked up to the Captains office and
took the oath according to law. Sloan,
county clerk; Criss, register; Long
sheriff; Hamilton, treasurer, GROCER
coroner; Wight, surveyor; Denton, Car
lin and Buell., commissioners, are the
servants Of the people for period o.
two years. Messrs. Anderson anC
Chsmplin, we believe, are the only ones
of the old set of officers who stcT
down and take seats among the sover
eigns. Anderson was good officer anC
is succeeded by person fully competen
for the place. Champlin, retiring
from the position of county commission
err in the Second District, leaves an un
blemished official record, and one anc
all can truthtully greet him with ave.
