a DUCK story, in an exchange
published near Madison, reads thus
"The sudden change in the weather
last Thursday night was bad for the
ducks. About thirty of them went
to bed on the waters Of little pond
a short distance from the village, and
while they slept the sleep of the just,
Jack Frost insidiously wove around
thera his icy letters. AS they awoke
from their dreams in the morning
they were held fast by ice an inch
in thickness. Our Informant says
and he wouldn't lie about so small a
thing as a duck--that he secured
the whole flock by simply chopplng
them out Of the ice"

CAPITAL NOTES.

MADISON, March "a, 1870,
Routine business in the state de-
partment is only broken by occa-
sional rumors and speculations as to
the outcome of the pending struggle
between the Confederate Brigadiers
of Congress and President Hayes,
and discussion of the political can
vass in this State next fall
Of the national subject there is
strong faith among Republicans
that it will result to their party's
advantage Nv convincing the people
that the prosperity and existence OF
the country depends upon its admin
istration being kept out of the hands
of the rehe.ridden democratic par
ty-and hence republican victory
in 1850 is the more confidently eN-
pected.
That tho present state officials
should and will be nominated seems
generally conceded throughout the
State. and that they viii he re-elect-
ed is almost rs universal an opinion.

was never more completely disor

For want of nail the shoe was
lost, for want of n shoe the horse was
lost, for want of a horse the rider
was lost, for want of Republican
victory in the city election the State
may be lost, and for want of the
State the Presidency may be lost.
Just think of it, Republicans, and
govern yourselves accordingly.

THE talk about the "soid South"
being bitter over the defeat OF their
candidate for Speaker is bosh. They
have got more of the spoils through
Randall than they would from Black

politicians are ong-headed fellows,

The approaching Judicial election
excites little discussion here, as the
people seem to be all of one mind
in favor of Cole. 1t is conceded he
will receive an immense majority in
this Congressional District, and even
in Milwaukee the same. | observe
that the Democru strives weakly to
make it appear that Judge Cole is
as much partizan candidate as
Jude Cothren, and as evidence cites
the fact that all republican papers
support the former. The further
facts that several democratic papers
also support Cole, while others are
non-committal on the subject; that
about one half the democratic law
yers do the same openly, and that
the calls on which Cole became a
candidate embraced large number
of democrats, are sufficient answers
to our neighbours puerile effort at
misrepresentation.

Looking over the record OF two years

Mr.. Tilden has been interviewed re-
garding the presidential nomination to
be msdenext year. He easily disposed OF
David Davis, for the reason that he has
not always been consistent Democrat,
and observed that all the others who
had been named were out of the race,
except Justice Field, of California,
whom he regards as still available. But
he closed the interview by observing
that fraud would be the only issue OF
the campaign, and that, as he was the
only man who had boon defrauded, he
was plainly entitled to the nomination.
This is all SO, and We only hope that
Uncle Sammy will succeed in impress
ing these views upon the National Con-
vention. The people will very easily
decide that the cry of fraud, even when
united with the reform slogan, will not
entltle him to the highest Office in their
gift.

1t We make our promise good, it be-
comes necessary that We use our "fa-
Der" occasionally this warm weather.
The general health is not so good as ut
last writing, yet the diseases are gener-
ally of mild nature, so that it is not
making very rich harvest for the
medical fraternity. We presume that
the lack of employment is the prime
cause for the physicians charging such
enormous bills. Now We think that
their charges should be more in keep
ing with the; times, but maybe "they"
know best how much money it takes to
run their "machines." and still leave u
"balance in bank"
Farmers are generally having a lull
in work, most of the fall blowing being
done, and seeding time not yet At hand /;
some parts OF our county report plent
eous showers, while others report dry
weather. Notwithstanding the wet and
dry weather the acreage of wheat in
this county is about fifty per cen. lar
ger than last year. Our bright pros
poets are frequently bIighted, for "there
is many slip between tie cup and lip"
Should the millions of chintz bugs
which are now in our corn fields, not
DO destroyed by rain or carly frosts,
We may mourn the loss of a wheat crop.
The base ball mania still RACES. Min
neapolis has two or three match games
every week. One game played last
week scored nearly one hundred. This
looks big, but maybe Ottawa will find
her good players after while, aud then
look out for the silver cup.
That county history running in the
JOURNAL is quito interesting and if not
considered egotistical, We suggest that
the editor look up the Humbragers and
the MOrrisons and few other families,
who as yet have written.nothing, to give
more history in the paper, and then that
compilation in book form. Long may
the JOURNAL prosper. SCRIBE.

Of the wheat crop 1t says: Winter
wheat from five to seven -tenths that OF
last year, and the total yield at Is $780,
900 bushels. Ia regard TO corn there
are $50 5SS acres more in cultivation
than last year, and as 1t is uniformly
good. The crop ia estimated to exceed
that of any former year by more than
twenty million bushels. On the whole,
taking the increased acreage, the crop
of Kansas this year in all products, for
expectation, will be equal to that of last
year.
