KINGMAN COUNTY WHEAT.

One Of our wheat buyers and business men
was out through Kingman county this week
and he says the wheat of that county cannot
be surpassed, with an unusually large acre
age. The crop will be ready for the harvest
| ing chimes two weeks earlier than in this
valley. Our wheat dealers aud owners of el-
eyators should make arrangements TO force
every bushel of kingman's wheat 10 this
market. The margins should be kept down
so that Tor fifty miles west a string OF wagons
loaded with wheat should line the roads eve
nv day for six months to come. Wichita has
the capital and facilities for handling all OF
kingman's crop and her dealers can afford to
make il to the advantage Of the growers to
market here, where the heaviest wholesale
houses and general dealers in this section of
the State are ready to do their part in COM
peting with Missouri river towns in adyan-
tage0us prices. One more railroad is just
now wanted to concentrate the wheat OF four
or five counties at Wichita.
a man protesting the superior intelligence,
boosted by the critics OF that halfnDute
sermon, died in this city last week. Did he

all his grim awfulness he wilted, rs We said
they ali do, aud called for prayers. That ex-

right mind, and one Of two conclusions Is in

was said against that sermon Ii he was in

faith; il out Of his head, then his words and
actions gave the denial to his life-professed
infidelity while in health. No. gentlemen, it
won't do; for there is lie Of Eternity which
hinges SO closely on the life Of Time that the
one colors and modifes the other. II you
don't believe il, why take the pains 10 deny

The editor Of this paper essayed n couple
of short sermons lately, one on temperance
aud one on hypocritical infde.ity, which ef-
forts seem 10 have contained the juice Of the
truth boiled down, judging from their ef-
fects. The temperance sermon is having
great run ia the Iowa papers, in which State
the prohibition question is under discussion.
The last we saw Of IT was in a German pa

which is said TO be very accurate. As 10 the
other sermon, some people are of wrong

essential OF his own pretended faith.
II is surprising how careless many people
are with their letters. From ten to fifty let
tiers a week are dropped into the Wichita
post-oftice that, for want of stamp, want Of
proper direction. or no address al all. are
sent TO the dead letter Office. Many OF these
letters have simply name. without city,
county or State. As these letters cannot
possibly reach their destination. postmasters
and their clerks get the whole blame, which
is very trying.

Archaeological Of Illinois, and brother Of DIR.
McAdams, Of this city, we see by the st.
Louis papers, has lately received large
number of valuable relics OF the Pueblo and
Indian races, from Mexico aud the west. He
has upwards OF twenty thousand specimens
in a valuable private cabinet. The editor Of
this paper once received from him some per-
feet specimens Of trilobites.
