A new fraud is being perpetrated. A
man calls at residence and tells the lady
that her husband has sent him to repair
the clothes wringer. 1t is given him and
he departs. Later he returns, claims to
have inserted new rollers and otherwise re-
paired the instrument and asks $3.50 for
the job. This bill is paid and the husband
upon his return is informed of the matter.
He examines the machine and finds that
the rogue has simply sandpapered the roll
ers to give them a new appearance. 1t is
well to look out for him.

The farmers of this
place and York county are very busy at
present planting corn. They will about
finish up by the twentieth of this month.
They are planting from 10 to 200 acres.
They plant with the check rover or lister,
from 10 to 22 acres per day. Some corn is
up now. The weather has been very cold
here this Spring, but the prairie grass is
up where it was burned in March, as high
as 10 inches. So you see that the cattle
are doing fine. We had two hail storms
here this Spring; froze ice on the 23rd of
April there was white frost on May 5th,
but the weather is moderating and is now
very warm. The farmers think the pros
poets are the best this Spring that has been
for several years. The wheat, rye and
oats are looking fine. The wild geese
have left, they were very numerous until
OF late--about as full as the pigeons out

Green river. I have been capturing quite
goodly number of them; prairie pigeons
are now very plenty-they have bill long

Decadence of the Clown.

The clown is no longer the most impor-

is not printed conspicuously in the bills of
the larger travelling shows, he is not per-
mitted to hawk his song books, and often
he is reduced to pantomime, the remotest
rural audience having ceased to laugh at
his time.worn jokes.

Improper Characters.
The executive committee of the Schuotzen
verein held a meeting last evening at the
Schuetzen park. In discussing the arrange
ments for the approaching fest, tho committee
determined upon vigorous measures to correct
certain abuses. Mr.. Simon Wolf said that the
Schuetzen verein had thrown open its extern
sive park to the public, property represent
ing value Of 100000, expecting no profits
whatever upon the investment, but beautify-
ing the place more and moro every year.
The privileges of the park had been abused
by gentlemen of so-called good standing in
society, who had brought questionable com
panions with them insulting thereby the
wives and daughters of the members and
of other visitors.
They were determined this year. he said,
to carry on a war of determination, so far as
the use of the park was concerned, against
the abuse complained of. Private detectives
would be stationed at the entrances and
within the park, and Objectionable visitors
would meet with summary expulsion. The
park being one of the finest open air places of
amusement east Of the Alleghanies, it de-
serves the fullest patronage that could posi-
bly, be given it, and IL would be hereafter con-
trolled in such an effective manner as regards
tho character of visitors that IL would become
q favorite resort with ladies and children,
young and Old Tho suggestions of Mr. Wolf
were PROMPTLY acted on.
