The old stone school building will
look decidedly out of place by the side
of the elegant new brick. The latter will
look like man dressed up in fine clothes
with an old ragged pair of boots on his
feet. The old building was erected in
1858, and when finished was the largest
and finest school building in Kansas. 1t
was built at cost of 5000, and the
fogies at that time predicted our finan-
cial ruin for such extravagance. 1t has
answered an important purpose in our
growth and history, its upper story be-
ing for some time the seat of the State
Normal school. It is still impossible to
get along without it, and so it will re-
main for some years probably.

Mr.. ]. F. White informs US that a de-
structive prairie fire south of Eagle
creek Sunday destroyed several stacks
of hay for A. w. Filler. John Citing and
Porter Richie. Other hay stacks were
burned but our informant was unable to
give the names of the owners. The
school house in district SO caught fire,
but the flames were extinguished before
any great damage was done. The coal
house, with upwards of one hundred
bushels of coal was destroyed
All citizens of the neighborhood turn
ed out and fought the flames until late
hour and thus prevented much more
serious damage. This is the season of
year when we write annual by our lecture
on the necessity of making proper fire
guards, but the above disastrous report
relieves us of the necessity.

Some two weeks ago the Republic
ans of Albany, New York, met in
their respective district caucuses and
elected solid Grant delegation to
the State convention which meets
to-day. Immediately howl went
up from the few Republicans of AL.
bany who are opposed to the
nomination of General Grant,
and the startled country was
assured that if it had not been for
the wicked activity of the Conkling
machine, an anti.Grant delegation
would certainly have been chosen.
When the excitemement was at it's
height the kickers were pleasantly
surprised by the information that
the delegates chosen so hurriedly and
so unanimously under the dictation
of the machine had resolved to re.
sign in body. This news caused
great rejoicing among the opponents
of Gen. Grant throughout the coun-
try. The caucuses were widely ad.
vertised the second time and a full
vote was expected. The voters turn.
ed out very freely, but there were no
anti. Grant men among them. The
result ives the reelection of the same
delegates who had been chosen be.
fore, and a unanimous Endorsement
Of the Grant boom.

It appears that the division of
Minnesota into census districts
which has been adopted by
the Census Bureau was not recon.
mended by the members of Congress
from this State or any one of them,
as has been charged by some dissa-
tis6ed persons, but by Gen. Walker
and Secretary Schurz, who quietly
disregalded the suggestion of the
members that the Congressional d.
vision be observed, and organized
the districts to facilitate the census
work. In point offact but little ex.
ception can be taken to the division
as established. The First district,
commencing at the Mississippi riv-
er, takes in two tiers of the south
ernmost counties until reaching the
Minnesota river, which forms the
northern boundary Of the district

It is not in good taste, to say moth

Returns received from III of 1928
assembly districts of the State Of
New York, Of delegates to the Re
publican State convention show 226
for Grant. 121 for Blaine, / for
Washbuln, 6 for Sherman and IS
unknown. The whole number of
delegates is 40. A majority will
therefore be 206. Assuming that
Grant receives the same proportion
Of the still uncertain votes as Of those
already known, his majority will be
considerably increased. A Con.
necticut Republican Congressman,
who has just returned to Washington
from a visit home, reports that there
is a great deal of Grant feeling
among his constituents. A well
informed man from Massachusetts,
says that the Grant feeling in that
State is on the increase and that a
majority Of the delegation to the
Chicago convention will favor the
nomination of the ex. president. In.
formation from other sources is to
the same effect; that the Grant move
ment is steadily gaining strength in

Down in New York, according
to the Ithaca Journal, they have
already commenced to take the cen.
sus, and this is about the way they
do it: The fellows engaged i'll this
new dodge go about the country
pretending to take the census; and
call upon farmers for the number of
their cattle, the acreage of their
farms, and the amount of their pro-
ducts in 1879. They set down the
figures on printed blanks, and ask
the farmer to sign his name at the
bottom (under blank srace) ;.t.est-
ing to the return. Then they 60
away, fill in the blank with pro-
missory note for 500 or $3.50 and
cut off the remainder of the blank
and the first the farmer knows:
somebody tells him he has bought
his note-which being now in the
hands of an ''innocent holder" must
be paid by the unlucky dupe. If any
of these smart swindlers should get
to Minnesota, recollect the Lawful

Odessa, the Russian grain port on

Congress providing for appointment
of sixty surgeons who are to exam.

rolls. It is thought that this will
weed out a good many now drawing
pensions for which they have no just
claim, and enable those that have
been unjustly dealt with, to secure
what belongs to them. There will
be no cost to the pensioners. This
bill will be IA service both to the
government and the pensioners, and
