Appeals are made for the colored

of the home-born colored brethren,
who have never been to 0berlin OF
any other college, do not exactly un-
derstand how it is that collections are
taken up at the churches three times
per day on Sunday, that liberal
contributions are made by the men
and women who toll all the week for
a living, and, that still, there is never
any money over for the orphans. 1t

Contempt

Some weeks ago Judge Eldridge
fined Attorney Belcher ten dollars for
contempt, merely because the latter
audibly thanked heaven there was a
higher court than the probate court
to appeal to. Explanations and apol-
ogies caused a remittance of the bill.
On Saturday Judge Eldridge order
ed deputy sheriff Harris to escort Col.
i. w. Finlay to Jail for contempt. The
latter explrined that he meant moth
ing of the sort and Judge Eldridge
did not insist on sending him there.

General Trade.

Tie third week is we'll advanced
since the last rain shower fell over
this section. Vegetation is very
thirsty, the roads fearfully dusty, and
while rain is badly needed, yet the
crops of corn aud cotton look strong
and vigorous, and have not as yet ma
terially suffered. Cotton in many
fields is over a foot high, and branches
are forming on the stalks. Blooms
are looked for three weeks hence. In
all lines business is quiet, with the
tendency of prices in favor of buyers.
A dull summer trade is expected, but
lively activity is anticipated in the
carly fall, especially if crops turn out
as they now promise. Our potato
crop is coming on, and shippers ex-
pect to forward early diggings in q
few days. The strawberry season is
nearly over, thc yield having been
much shortened by dry weather. Re-
garding prices, meats have advanced
during the week from ! to to per
pound on all grades, and a firm mar
ket is reported. Flour is entirely I'M
changed, though the feeling is firm,
wheat being Sc higher. Cornmeal has
improved Sc per Dbl, and is strong,
Corn is also firm and a cent or two

The money market opened to-day

no variation in the interim, save a
tendency toward ease, an increas-

on the part of its owners to find pro-
ductive investments. Legitimate
business paper is in request at 8 per
cent. among banks and insurance'com-

WASHINGTON, May 14.--The re-

joint rule for counting the electoral
vote was in accordance with the de-.
termination of leading democratic
senators to adopt some rule before the
adjournment. This question will, Of

The republicans are anxious that
both these subjects should not be

FRAUD IN THIS AID BUSINESS. >

Noting and observing the crops on the
frontier, and becoming familiar with the
condition Of things ''out here" some Of the
leading men and newspapers in the eastern
part Of the State have changed their opin.
ions regarding .he aid business, and give
expressions contained in the caption Of this
article. A short time ago the Topeka Capt.
tai skillfuliy manipulated the aid cry, but
since St. Johns nomination it has become
informed, and now it is conducted with .
different tone on the aid question. We have
no doubt of the truth of the following from
its issue Of Monday:
George W. Martin returned Sunday from
a tour through Rswlins, Norton, Decatur
and Sheridan counties, where he has been
accompanying Hon. John A. Anderson.
who addressed the people of that section.
Mr.. Martin brings with him and exhibited
in this Office, samples of well developed
Early Rose potatoes from near the western
line Of Rawlins county. They are not indie
alive Of any great drouth in that country,
and Mr.. Martin found much indignation
existing among the inhabitants at the false
reports that have gone out about the desti-
tuition there. There are some farmers in
that county with fair crops, and Mr.. Martin
thinks what one man can do out there can
be done by others ii they will work, and he
is Of the opinion that there is considerable
fraud in this aid business. The Hon. An
derson had a number of successful meetings,
and found much enthusiasm existing out on
the frontier. At Atwood the room in which
Mr.. Anderson spoke was adorned with a
beautiful and extensive agricultural display.
The stand WAS ornamented with corn stalks,
tall grasses. squashes, potatoes, melons,
beans, etc, ETC., and Mr.. Anderson was SO
impressed at the sight that he dropped po-
litical discussion and talked home, country
and agriculture
