Miss Nettie &. Carpenter, young lady

Wednesday. she has taken herself a claim,
built thereon a very neat stone dugOut, rooted
with poles and dirt. To keep the dirt from
falling down she put heavy paper on the ur-
der side of the poles, and, hearing rattling
noise on the paper, she thought that the mice
were at work. She got the broomstick and
gave the paper a gentle tap, when, ms cad OF
mice as the young lady thought, she brought
down a kissing viper. His yipership imme-

IGarnett Journal, Ia.
Our citizens were both shocked and panied
upon reading in the telegraph news from
Victoria, an account of the suicide Of Charlie
Hunt, a young man well and favorably known
here. There is little known in reference to
the occurrence other than that a letter was
received by young companion OF Charley 5,
intimating his intention of committing SUI
eide, and stating where his body could be
found. True to this Information Charlie was
found-the leaden messenger having been
sent crushing through his temples He was
buried at Victoria, but his body will this fall
be sent to GaInett, Kansas, where his father
resides. The deceased was y years OF age,
and had resided In Petaluma several years,
during which he was in the employ OF Taft,
McClymonds & Co. He was superior PEN
man and accountant, and of unquestionable
integrity in all his business transactions No
young man here was more universally es
teefned and respected than Charlie Hunt, and

this he piowed the wheat in with Turn

and looks fresh AMI green.
F. Risely, in an adjoining field. on upland,
pursued the same course IN preparing the
ground and planting, but has a field OF wheat

Mr.. Riseley-s wheat was sown some time
later than Mr. Johnson's.
Wemake reference 10 these two fields OF
wheat, hoping that the experiment with It's
results may be watched, 50 that II there Is

rREGO's CHALK BEDS.

Within short distance of the town, q
mile and half toward the north, lie the
only chalk beds in the United States, which
although they have been developed in a
very small way heretofore, have not at
tracted much attention from the world in
general The article of chalk obtained
from these beds is superior, and wherever
it has been used it is pronounced 90. A
compsny has been formed having sufficient
capital to work extensively, and before
many months pass, it may be possible that
Trego county will be sending Goals to New
castle, and that the heretofore chalk mar
ket of the world will be buying Kansas
chalk. Nature has done wonders BY this
part of the country, and it is no more than
fair that man should rtep in and help her
out.
THE POPULATION OF wA-KEENEY

and with the growth of the town can be
estimated that of the surrounding country,

it has been persistently advertised in all
OF the papers of the East, and it is exceed.
ingly doubtful if there be one year old
youngster in the United States 70 we'll
know. This advertisement being previous
and well timed had the effect OF bringing to
the county the very best class of immigra-

doubtful If there can be found an unoccupied

and having more than sufficient to bridge
over to days difficulties without trusting to
luck for tomorrow. The situation of the
town is a beautiful one, the site being roll
ing, and finer mile-square tract of land
upon which Wa-keeney is situated does not
exist in the western country. 1t is the pre-
valent impression that the name of the
town is derived from the Indian. and the
impression is surely warranted from the
close resemblance, but the facts really are
that the name is as far from being Indian as

MoLLIE-MAGUIREIsM has extended to
Ohio. The Coshocton miners struck for bet.
ter pay, a few days ago, and their places
were promptly filled by Others. These
others have been given notice that unless
they stop work and abandon the mines by
Thursday, a vengeance will be visited upon
them that will effectually stop their further
interference, AS the Chicago Times sens
IDLY remarks, this is a challenge that the
authorities of Coshocton ought to accept.
The right of the miners to quit work when
they become dissatisfied with the pay, no
man denies; but their right to make other
men, who are satisfied with their compcnsa-
ton, quit their work, is denied by all right
thinking men; and when they attempt to
use the force they threaten to employ, they
should be met by greater force. Exclud-
ing the Chinese. competition between
American laborers ought to be protected,
and the right of miners and manufacturers
to fix the figures they are able and willing
to pay for labor, ought and will be protect
ed, let that protection cost what it may of
either blood or treasure.

WHILE it is undoubtedly true that the
character OF prominent Democrats has been
badly smirched by the facts drawn out
during the cipher-telegram investigation,
no man honestly contends that Mr.. Tilden
had any connection with the disreputable
business or in any manner sanctioned or
countenanced it. 1t has been shown, on
the contrary that when he received an in
timation that such negotiation was in,
progress, he Indignantly denounced it, and
declared that he would never accept the
presidency, if secured by such disreputable
means. Hayes was less scrupulous. He
accepted the Office well knowing that he
had been repudiatcd by a majority of more
than two hundred thousand; and that the
electoral votes of Louisiana and Florida, in
right and justice Tilden's, had been secured
for him through frauds so gross and palp-
able, that the civilized world looked on
appalled,.

A SOURCE OF Much BODILY EvIL.-lt
the habit body becomes irregular, much
evil is inflicted on the system. The stom-
ach becomes dyspeptic, bilious symptoms
develop themselves, the circulation is con-
taminated and the nerves share in the gen
eral disorder. 1t is of the utmost lmpor-
lance that the bowels should be thoroughly
and speedily regulated when they grow
derelict. The corrective agent best adapted
to this purpose is Hostetters Stomach Bit

laxative, worth all the rasplng cathartics
invented since the time of Paracelsus. Peo-

blue pills. calomel, and other drugs and

abandon such hurtful and useless medicines
