as follows:
This place is named after an Indian by that
name. / called on him this a. m. He is 100
years DID, and is the father Of fourteen child
rem his oldest son is 70. The family has lived
here so years. The old mans mind is still
sound, and he has scarcely gray hair In his
head; his wife looks much older, although she
is ten years younger.
The ground is now frozen two feet deep, and
TO- day teams and footmen are crossing Little

To the Editor of the Standard:
| will give some items about the
wonderful improvements Of Central
Kansas, especially Rice county, think
ing it might be interesting to some of
the readers of your valuable paper,
those that are looking westward.
Eight years ago we came to this coun-
ty, and in looking over this vast prai-
RE, in every direction, large herds of
buffalo, antelope and wild horses, were
grazing But now instead of those
wild animals, we see herds of domestic
animals, cattle, sheep, hogs and horses;
also, cities, towns, railroads, and school
houses; and here let me state, Kansas
has a public school system of which
every citizen can speak with pride.
Over forty districts are now organized
in this county, and most all are pro-
vided with good frame buildings, and
in our own district we have four good
houses, costing near $500 each.
School kept from 6 to months dur
ing the year.
The Santa Fe, one of the great rail-
roads Of the State, runs through our
county, making two stations in the
county. Two more railroads are al
ready surveyed to run through this
county, and are to be finished by the
1st of July next. Sterling, the largest
town in the county, has nearly 1900
inhabitants, and has 5 church build
ings, one public school building cost
ing over $4,000 Four newspapers are
published in the county, and all claim
to be in prosperous condition. Ly-
ons, the next town in size, has a pop
ulation Of 500. 1t is the county seat,
and has a court house that cost
$4,000.
Groves of young timber are growing
on every farm througout the county,
and almost every farmer begins to re
alize the great advantage of planting
trees. Winters are very mild and
short here, and a great deal of plow-
ing is done III the months of January
and February.
The general quality of land here is
good, and the price of improved or
unimproved land is from So to S15
per acre, and now is the time to buy

will steadily advance. Wheat looks
well and promises a big harvest,
One of the great inventions or i'm
proyements here, is the use of prairie
hay instead of coal, for fuel, in run
ming two large steam Touring mills.
1t is a decided success, and a great
saving in the cost over coal, the hay
costing $3.50 per ton when delivered
at the mills, and coal from Sc to 81
per ton, and in consequence it makes
prairie hay more valuable, and hun
dreds of tons are pressed and shipped
to Colorado, to the mining districts.
Any information in regard to this
country will be given by writing to
my address. }: e. PERKINS,
Sterling, Rice Co., Kansas.

THE rebels in Congress will GUST
Mr.. Washburn, Republican, of Min
nesota, and put a Democrat IN his
place-although there is no pretense
that Washburn was not fairly elected.
This is to be done in order to make
the vote Of Minnesota Democratic, IN
case the election of President should
be thrown into the House. A similar
course will be pursued toward Orth,
Of Indiana. What a sad thing it will
be for the Democracy when they dis
cover that the people have check
mated their deviltry by electing the
Republican candidate by such decid-
ed majority of the electoral vote, as
to leave nothing for the House to dc
but acquiesce!

Southern Kansas, it was so warm he
desired to exchange his cap for
straw hat. Now, this is all nonsense.
While it is true that our winters are
much milder and more pleasant than
in Southern Ohio, yet it does not get
so warm that people have to pull off
their coats, go about in their shirt
sleeves, wearing straw hats.
Another writes that the grass grows
very tall, even over mans head.
This is the case in some Of the bot
toms, but not on the higher lands. 1t
is all very nice to talk about tall grass,
but suppose one has to walk, or ride
through it, Just after a rain, or heavy
dew; he will come out about as wet as
if he had fallen into some creek.
have been in Kansas almost seven
years, and am fully convinced that
one can now do better than if he had
come here seven years ago. Nearly
all the Government land that is worth
anything in this county has been ta-
ken up. But still there are good
farms for sale, which can be bought
cheap, as well as many undecided
claims. Just here | will mention one
farm in particular, consisting of one
hundred and fifty acres, about one
hundred acres of good bottom land.
Also, about forty of good bottom TIM
Der. Sixty acres of bottom in cultiva-
tion. All under good fence. Bottom
does not overflow. Good we'll of wa
ter, never goes dry. Farm lies on
public highway, and about one mile
from the town of Langton, and a rail
road depot. Has plenty Of stock wa
ter Also, fair dwelling and out
houses, orchard, etc. Price twenty
two hundred dollars, which [ think is
cheap. The owner is an old man, anC
not able to farm, and therefore wishes
to SELL
But | must stop, lest | tresspass OF
your columns, and weary your readers
However, | will say that Kansas is in
deed good country, and people from
Ohio are generally we'll satisfied. An!
one wishing to come to Kansas, ant
desiring information regarding tn
country, and farms for sale, can Obtain
the same so far as | am able, by ad

Public Schools of jackson,

To the Editor of the Standards
One of the most effective means for
promoting a reformation (?) has re-
Gently been put into effect by the hon
orable School Board of Jackson-viz:
To do it on the sly. 1t seems that
suddenly, either by an harmonious
agreement of the teachers, or under
instructions from the Board or Super
intendent, the Bible is thrust out, and
with it the singing Of such songs as
may happen to have the faintest tinge
of Bible or Sunday-school in them.
Either the teachers under the new
regime are willingly parties to this
plot, or they are oVerawed by the in
evitable lash held over them by the
School Board. Now the queer thing
about all this is the evident effort on
the part of the Board to avoid any ag-
itation Of this matter. NUNS the
word Ask them, and perchance
they'll tell you there been no definite
action" &c. Ask the Superintendent,
and he seems inclined to other sub
iects. ask the teachers, and they
well, they don't care to say anything
about it.
Now the question arises. does the
School Board entertain the idea that
they can maintain this state of things
without agitation?
Does this Board presume to hold
teachers under the ban of eXcommu-
nication to enforce silence?
We hear a good deal of churchly in
tolerance. Has some petty priest, with
a residence abroad compelled his fol-
lowers who reside here ia mere hand
fulD to demand this concession? Ger
tainly a number of probabilities are
necessary to account for this unprece-
dented presumption Oh the part of the
Board. i
The question Of the Bible in the
public schools is Of deeper significance
than some of the gentlemen of the
Board may suspect, and if we rightly |
Judge the att tude of its friends, they
will do themse YES justice to rise and
explain. QUIMBY, AND OTHERS. !

What of NenafiSm2 2

At some period of our National ex-
istence, not very far back in the past,
we used to hear considerable talk by
our Democratic friends, about ''Nepot-
ISM When met with demand for
proof of the charge Of Nepotism, these
virtuous statesmen would reply that
President Grant had appointed to Of
flee some one whom these virtuous
statesmen had discovered, after much
patient inquiry, to be a second cousin
to Mrs. Grants brother-in-law, or
something Of that kind.
The natural inference would be,
after hearing these Democratic stric-
lures upon President Grants course,
that were that party to come into
power, it would shun all appearance
of Nepotism as it would a pestilence
But unfortunately many beautiful
theories are spoiled when they reach
an attempt at practical demonstration.
We will mention but one incident in
National affairs-that OF the Voorhees,
Committee investigating the ''colored
exodus" By no possible construction

The Famine in Ireland.

The people in all parts Of this coun-
try are taking measures to aid the suf-
fering and starving people of Ireland.
In Portsmouth an organized effort is
being made. Cannot the people of
Jackson county do something?
James Gordon Bennett, owner of the
n. Y. Herald, has given one hundred
thousand dollars, and will receive and
forward any contributions, from 25
cents up, and publish the name Of each
contributor. The Cincinnati Com
mercial will receive and acknowledge
all sums of 10 cents and up, as much
as any one may feel able to give. The
money thus contributed will be for
warded at once, with out any expenses
or charges.
jackson county should contribute at
least $500. We will guarantee that
all sums sent to the Commercial will
be honestly forwared. Any one having
dime, or a dollar, or five dollars to
spare, should send it at once to the
Commercial.
The Irish people are generous and
kind, and if it were the people of this
country who were suffering, the Irish
man would give his last potato to
those in need When our country
called for volunteers, she had no more
willing, brave, or hardy volunteers
than the Irishmen in this country.
We owe something to this brave warm
hearted people. But aside from all
that, they are the common children
of the Great Father Of all-they are
our brethren, and we must not let them
die Of starvation, when this country
has enough and to spare.
Send your contributions to the Gin
cinnati Commercial, and send them at
once.

If man desired to commit a mur-
der, in such way that it never would
lead to his arrest, the best thing he
could do would be to entice his victim
into the city Of Cincinnati, take him
out on one of the principal streets, and
shoot him.
Some years ago policeman by the
name Of Kunkel was shot while on du-
ty in the streets Of that city. The de-
tectives could find out absolutely moth
ing with regard to the perpetrators of
the crime.
The Harry Baldwin murder was
fully as mysterious to the detectives.
Baldwin was found shot, a drunken
man was known to have fired revol-
yer in the neighborhood at about the
time Baldwin was shot. Yet the de-
tectives are at loss what to do. The
man who was drunk, and who fired the
revolver, is still in the neighborhood,
and is under Indictment, but laughs at
the idea of anybody being so foolish
as to think That he could, by any pos
sibility have shot Baldwin. When
crime reaches above panel-thieving, it
would seem that it has nothing to
fear from Cincinnati detectives.

THE Sherman men should be careful
to avoid being thrown on the defensive,
before the meeting Of the National
Convention. A campaign for aPresi-
Dental nomination, to be successful,
must be aggressive. Already some
overzealous friends Of Secretary Sher-
man are denying that there is, or is to
be, any unfair means used to procure
Sherman delegates. 1t is made sub
ject of rejoicing that in North Carroll
ma, where Sherman delegates have al
ready been chosen, "all was regular,
and in accordance with long establish
ed customs" It is not to be expected
that any unfair means will be used IN
the interest Of Secretary Sherman.
No Ohio man would ever sanction any
thing of the kind.

BOILER InSDecfiOu,

Some time ago Mr.. Paine sent US a
paper containing a proposed law to
appoint a lot of new officers, at great
expense, to inspect boilers. The bill
is too long for our space. 1t proposes
to tax each owner Of boiler six dol
lars, for inspection.
Now we would like to know why
this great concern about boilers !?
Why not inspect lamps, and gin shops,
and all other articles that cause death
when not used with great care and
caution? Does not the value of the
property endangered, as well as hui
man life, hold out sufficient induce
ments to owners of boilers to use due
diligence and caution? We think so.
The truth about the matter is, lot
of hungry office seekers, who know
nothing practically about boilers, de-
sire fat places. That is why there is
so much solicitude about the safety of
boilers.
You want to do too much, Messrs.
Legislators. Pass your appropria-
ton bills, and then come home. You
are wanted, before you do something
very foolish, or very mischievous.

THE ways Of the truly good are Oft
times beset with thorns. A New York
man was a very devout Christian, and
held daily prayers in his family. In
the room where prayers were held, was
sack of apples, upon which no one
was allowed to sit. A boy who was
living with the truly good man went
to prayers one day and, not knowing
of the order with regard to the sack,
sat down upon it. As soon as the man
had finished his prayer he struck the
boy on the ear injuring his hearing,
for which the the boys guardian
sued him, getting verdict for twelve
hundred and fifty dollars. The whole
affair cost the man fifteen hundred
dollars. Now the truly good man
wants to know why an upright, God
fearing man may not bring up his fam
lily in the way they should go, without
the interference Of courts. The truly
good man asked mercy one minute and
refused to grant it the next. And that
was the cause of his troubles.

The New York Tribune, in the course
of very sensible article, says.

VI Il very sensible article, says.
A strong Government is wanted to
give protection against domestic vio-
lence in every part of this country to
every citizen. 1t has become a great
scandal that citizens and even officials Of
the Government are liable to be assassi-
mated, in several of the States, for the
performance of their duty, or the free
expression Of their opinions The Gov
ernment has been weak and blame
worthy, ever since the war, in that it
has not made its authority and protec-
ton more fully respected. 1t was weak,
in this respect, during the eight years
when General Grant was President, and
massacres and assassinations were never
more frequent than at that time; it has
been weak, in the same respect since
the Inauguration of President Hayes.
The people want a President who will
put stop to assassination as mode of
conducting political campaign, and
who will take care that the laws be en-
forced without unnecessary exposure
of the lives of unsupported officials by
mobs of breakers or rebels. We
do not believe that the Republican
party will nominate or elect any man
this year without strong conviction
that he has in him the stuff to give the
country a strong Government in this
respect.
