BAD OUTLOOK IN WESTERN KANsAs.-The
prospects in large proportion of Western and
Southwestern Kansas very discouraging
They have had no rain for months; the wheat
is about ruined, aud unless they have good rains
soon, it will he useless to put in corn. The re-
cent fine rains that we have had, extended back
but very short distance. Persons who have
been in Marshall County, say that the dust is
drifted like snow in Winter, and that it is al
most nnbearable. Even far east as Brown
and Nemaha, we learn that the wheat crop will
be very light. The sand storms We have been
having, had not far to come, after all.
In Doniphan County, in the past month, we
have had good rains. The fly in the fall, and
warm, dry weather during winter and early
spring, gave a bad outlook for wheat; but since
then, it has come out wonderfully, and, from
present appearances, will turn ont a good crop )
while the ground is in 6ne condition for spring
planting. While we are sorry for the people of
the West and Southwest, we are more than ever
convinced that we have been correct in holding
mp Doniphan County as the very best part of
Kansas, and in exhorting our people, upon all
occasions and under all circumstances, to stick
to Doniphan County.

all who read it, the damning fact that Hon. j.
A. Garfield, of Ohio is the man, and the only man,
who is preventing the placing of wood pulp up
the free list; and is therefore responsible for
the paper extortion. As the House is decidedly y
Democratic, and the Democratic is a free-trads
party, and as Garfield is but one member, and =

Wholesome scientist has advancesl the the
ory that, Immediately after hurreIIs or cy-
clone, there is great rush of air in that direc
tion, as if drawn to fill mp vacuum caused by
the storm. Thus, if the cyclone is south OF a
given place, that place will have a north wind
passing il in the direction of the storm; or il
north of that place. the wind will sweep past t
from the South, on its way to the scene of &C.
tioD in the north. As if to coniirm this theory,
Immediately following the late cyclone in South
ern Missouri, there was cold blizzard from the
north, which was repeated on Sunday night,
following the Mississ ippi cyclone. If cyclone
should occur to the north of us, it would be in
teresting to watch and see whether gale passes
us from the South, going in that direction
There is one thing settled beyond dispute, IL
this storm business: there is pretty stiff breeze
at the spot where the cyclone is in progress.
