lilo Busy Senson Among tho Farmars.-A
FlourishiDg school.
MesSrs. Editors: We seldom sec M
article trem this locality in the column
of yonr paper, which finds It's way to
50 many homes in our midst. We have
waited for some one moro competent
to contribute, until we have concluded
that no one feels sufficiently interested
or that'all arb "too busy" to let many
readers of your paper know what VIC
are doing. In this locality VIC hear the
rattle of rcapcrs, the whistling of
engines, the roar of thrcshcrs and the
"gcc" and "haw" in every direction.
surely, with these indications of life
and energy together with tho natural
advantages and curiositics with which
we are surrounded, there is "somc-
thing to write about"
We have flourishing Sabbath
School that meets every Sabbath eve
n1Rd four O'Clock. Also Il prayer
meeting wcckly-both Of which arc
welding an influence destined to live
after the present generation shull be
consigned to mother earth. We also
have one Of the best schools in the
county, which has for the past four
months been taught by the efficient
and competent Mr.. w. j. Keller. On
last Friday tile patrons and II few of
the friends were invited to hear a re-
view of the soak Grove School,"
which we think Indicated careful and
competent training. The entire school
acquitted themselves crcditablv, and
reflected groat honor on their teacher.
After the exercises 4 sumptuous re-
past was spread by tho ladies, which
bcspcak "plcnty at home" and reflect
cd credit on their skill in preparing it.
The company then repaired to the
base ball ground, TO witness II match
between the Lone Star md the Oak
Grove clubs, which was full rf inter
est and excitement, and lusulctl in q
decided victory Tor the scllool-boys.
Then and there, right before our en-
Vlous eyes, floral tributes OF rare and
beautiful varieties were hcapcd upou
The proud little yicters by the fair and
beautiful ladies. But, three cheers for
the ladies May they do likewise
when tho victory is ours-which will
Dc on the next occasion. NOVICE,

ED. HERALD Having occasion to
visit the northeastern part of the county
we made some observations as follows:
Crystal Greek can take the ribbon on
potatoes, being almost literally a potato
patch All kinds of crops are looking
finely, and as a consequence the citizens
are hopeful and rejoicing.
The members of the NJ. E. Church
have built a good church 20 X 36, where
they have regular services and one OF
the best Sunday Schools in the county,
the average attendance being seventy
three. The Friends or Quakers, also
have a society here served by the Rev.
Cook and wife, who, by the way, are
worthy the confidence reposed in them,
being liberal, intelligent and cultured
citizens.
Our great potato raiser, D. Mcdonald
resides here and if any one wants tc
know anything about the potato, We
would advise him 30 call on Mr.. NJ
He is making a grand success raising
| potatoes.
Corn looks well, also small grain O
kinds. We found the citizens of Crys

people, whom It is a pleasure to-visit.

We Have Seen Them.


The editor had the pleasure of wit
Messing the exhibition of S. H. Barrett
& Co.'s Mammoth Circus, at Mt. Ster-
ling, few days since, and is glad to
say that it is one of the largest and
grandest ever put upon the streets of
any town. The menagerie consists of
a great number of rare animals of al
most every variety on the face of the
earth-such collection as has never
before been seen with any travelling
show. Mr.. Robert Stickney, who has
always been a general favorite, was per-
lection, and Miss Emma Lake was both
daring and graceful, The horizontal
bar performances by the Renos was eX-
cellent and deserve a larger notice than
we have space to give them. The
clowns are the funniest fellows who
ever donned a motley garb, and the
and the feats of the Malay Prince
attracted special attention.
Everything connected with this show
is noticeable in elegance and refine.

Oberlin Herald We suggest that
PhilIlpsburg, Smith Center and Jewell
City join with Oberlin, Norton and Con-
cordia in endeayOring 10 secure the
Denver and Rio Grande and Chicago and
Alton railroads. We believe it could
be done.
Your suggestion is proper and right,
Bro Herald. You can count on all the
places mentioned putting their shoulders
to the wheels and doing the fair thing,
and thus make the best line Of towns in
Kansas. With railroad through the
county seats the northern tier of coun-
ties would be so far ahead of any other
in the state that there would be no use
in their trying to catch up.
MORSE GERMAN Married at John

Morse and Mrs. Ida German. Both

Mr.. Morse being the Cashier of the
Phillips County Bank and young man
of rare business qualifications. Mrs.
German is q sister of Judge Spaulding
and for some time assistant P. M. at
this place The marriage took place in
the same house where the bride was
born. They will probably extend their
tour through some of the Eastern cities,
and on their return to their coy home
in PhilHpsburg they will meet o warm
welcome from host of well wlshers.

to remain there; others want it at the Hot
Springs, others want it on the Eagle where
the road is that leads to the new camp, so
think there are more towns at the root of the
thing than mineral. And if that is the case
they ought TO be ashamed. Another thing
might give them some excuse TO start the eX-
citement. Some party, late last fall, found
great quantity of float thirty miles northwest
of Defiance towards the White River agency,
but none of ii has been found in place. The
country has been prospccted every year since
1879, and nothing paying has yet been found.
think there will be good camp there some
day. The formation looks well and shows
signs of good mineral Somewhere there is
an immense body Of carbonates. 1T is of the
same nature as the carbonates on Rock creek.
They have more silurian lime than we have,
but that is not mineral. We have plenty of
the same and are as liable to strike as good
mineral here A. there. The carbonates at the
upper hot springs are very fair; better than
in Defiance. Last assays from the Rock creek
carbonatcs ran over 100 ounces in silver, and
co per cent. lead. The mine is now bonded.
NoEoif anyone wants TO go there he must
take everything with him. He cannot buy
anything at the Hot Springs or any place the
other side of Scofield. We did not see any
of the mineral, We cannot describe it. Ii
Is harder to get piece Of mineral at Lower
Hot Springs. on the Grand, than to find
diamond boulder og the top Of Mt Lincoln,
and they would not show any one the way to
that camp without their paying $40 per day
for a guide and some have been foolish
enough to do 50. We went as near as we
could to the camp, and thought We found
enough to satisfy us. Il will be soon enough
to 20 there about the first Of June.

4 Railroad War.

The prospects Of railroad war in the west
were never better than Mt the present time.
The opening up Of the Rio Graude To Salt
Lake and the prospects OF its early compile
tian 10 Ogden aud connection with the Ceu-
tial Pacific has had the effect to wake mp the
manager, of the other lines to a realization of
the importance of the Baby ROAD In this
connection the remarks of a western paper
are pertinent; "Thc increased movement Of
freight from the east to the Pacific coast is
causing some commotion especially 10 the
Union Pacific. /; is stated that the manage
meut Of the old route admit that they cannot
hope to retain the bulk of the carrying trade
unless by reducing the time of transfer. This
they propose accomplishing by carrying
freight through from New York TO San Fran
cisco in seventeen days. Whether the Central
Pacific will assist in the scheme to beat the
time Of the Sunset route, which canno, be les
than twenty days, is the problem which the
eastern roads cannot solve. But whatever
way the question is answered 10 is prcdict.d
that . railroad war is near AZ hand. The
Denver & Rio Grnndc is now making rates
from all points east TO salt Lake in opposition
to the Union Pacific. and the Atlantic & Pa
cifc will be completed to Mohavc in June.
Between the Union Pacific and Denver & Rio
Grande there is an irrcprossible conflict which
may result in one or the other of ;he roads
building through line to California, as the
Union Pacific is now doing to Oregon"
II Is not probable that any direct cut in
rates, either Of passenger or freight, will be
made at once. but should the Union Pacific
increase the speed of its trains, and land
freight and passengers in San Francisco head
Of the Santa Fe, the latter will make its best
efforts 10 meet the cut in time, and IL this can.
not be DONE then u reduction of rates all
round will be the result.
There is no love lost between the western
roads, and each is trying to obtain the upper
hand. The Union Pacific since the opening
of the Rio Grandc to Salt Lake, has made the
rate the same to that point as it is from Og,A'n
to all points east. The Union Pacific ticket
cfiicc up town is now open in the morning
before the early train lcaycs-a thing that
was never done before.
To show that the Denver & Rio Grandc is
not afraid of competitors, the following from
a salt Lake paper is of interest: "Thc Den
yer & Rio Grandc have issued notice ina,
froights over their line from Missouri river
points, 60 Salt Lake, subject to the Joint
