Prof. Lewis has been rendered the po-
sition of conductor and instructor of the
Harlan county Normal Institute, but
viii not accept on accont of other en-
gagements.
Ed. E. Davis and Den Bickford do
the mechanical work on the HERALD as
well as drive an occasional Faber and
for boys of THEN ages they are hard to
beat.-ED1ToR.
Quite number of the members of
Phillipsburg Post G. A. R. went to Kir-
win yesterday to participate in the
memorial exercises and decoration of
the graves of deceased soldiers.
Every one should read Prof Lewis
account of his trip to and from old Mex
leo, as representative of the HERALD
on the Editorial Excursion, and no pa
per was better represented, The Prof.
saw what was to beseen and tells it in
an attractive way.
The Wyandotte Gazette remarks that
few more tornado seasons will con-
vince the farmers that's cave or cellar
to keep cabbage, etc. in, will be a COM
fort and convenience, and it would not
surprise us if such hole would be
comfort to Wyandotte and Kansas City
occasionally.
DR.. Burt and j. M. Allen, of Glen
wood township, were callers on the
HERALD Office Saturday. They report
some of the corn being taken up by a
small black worm. It moves like a
measuring worm and cuts the corn off
just above the ground. 1t is hoped that
it may come up again but as the worm
is new to this country we don't know
what to expect.
The fair of the Phillips County Agri-
cultural and Mechanical Association will
be held September 4, and 9th. We
hope to see every citizen of the county
assist in makingit the best display Of
agricultural products ever shown in
Western Kansas. 1t can be done and
nothing will advertise the county as
thoroughly and at as little expense

England, without prohibitory laws o,
any legal movement of an arbi trary ma
ture, is engaged in a genuine temper

the highest circles of aristocracy. A re

The duke and duchess of Sutherland
, who are the richest titled personages i
England, held grand temperance re
ception the other day, attended by
: great number of distinguished earls ant
lords who had banished wine from thei

for the people, and there can be n
question as to the salutarY effect thi

q people. To us this seems the most en-
lightened way of dealing with the ten
perance problem, and it is a hundre
times more successful than the hars
