Judge Talcott's father and mother,
'of Valparaiso, Indiana, spent the latter
part of last week and the fore part Of
this week with him. His father and
brother publish and edit the Valparaiso
Vidette, one Of the best weekly papers
in Indiana.
This week sees an important change
in money matters. Confidence in
Western securities is once more re-
stored, and Mr.. Bowlus informs us
that he will now loan money at nine
per cent, interest, without any COM

to borrow this will be a great gain.
Mr.. s. H. Clark, for o number of
years connected with the c. B. & @.
R. R., but now retired millionaire of
Chicago, has been stopping at the
Acers House this week. There is q
strong probability that Mr.. Clark may
become identified with the interests of
this city; so says Madam Rumor, at
least.
F. w. Giles, president of the Ne
braska, Topeka, lola and Memphis
Railroad is in our town. He reports
work on the new road progressing rap
idly. The proposition to vote bonds is
being submitted to the people along
the proposed route north of here, and
there is no doubt but that the road
will be built.
The Leroy Reporter is very enthusi-
astic over the probability of the Tope-
ka, lola & Girard railroad coming to
their town, and advises the people of
that town to- 60 to work for the en-
terpriss~at once. A little work will
give Leroy and Burlington this road
and they are both interested enough
to do all they can.
A. W. Beck sold to Mr.. II. H. Riggs
of this township, last Wednesday, a
Nichols & Shepherd steam thresher
and separator, costing nearly S17OO.
Mr.. r. lives west of the river and we
Judge from his purchase will be able
to do his own and neighbors threshing
with rapidity and ease. We believe
this is the only steam thresher in the
township.

alton is being distributed. This
will hold its eighth fair at
Neosho Falls, September 26, q, %, q,

attends the fair, and we would suggest
to those who intend competing for
premiums that it is time they we've
their preparations.

1t the March term of the District

oardoned and set at liberty. Sheriff
Walters learned this fact when at
Leavenworth this week. Who got w
