Happy Chetopa-eoOdR ain-Good Crops

Happy Chetopa-GoOdR ain-GOOd Crops.
CHETPoA. Kas., July 26-Last evening
between z and 3 O'Clock, strong wind
storm broke upon US. moving dwell
ing house from the foundation which
had just been enclosed, tearing down a
photograph tent. knocking off great
deal of fruit and scattering things
around generally. There was, however,
no damage done. The rain tina. follow
ed was just the thing for our crops.
This will be one OF the exceedingly pros
porous seasons for southern Kansas. al
though wheat was about one half a crop.
it is more than made up by an abun-
dance of almost all kinds of berries and
fruit. Apples and peaches are Just now
abundant in our market. The pear and
grape crop will also be large, especially
the latter, while the corn crop will be
simply immense. Our farmers will
have to take down their barns and build
greater ones IN order to store il away.
Our town just now is on a building
boom, splendid opera
house costing $4,000 or $4,000
is going up rapidly; also eight or ten
other elegant brick buildings. The
postoffice was moved into neat two
story brick building especially built by
the postmaster for that purpose, and
fifty or sixty dwelling houses have been
erected this season and more are talked
Of While our town is building up rap
idly, real estate IS also continually |
advancing. One man, living few miles |
from town, bought a fine farm |
a year ago for $4,000 and sold it the |
other day for 8 $3.50, making clear gain |
of 81, 600, and getting a large crop from
1t besides. This is only one of the
many such instances. General Grant
once said: at is no longer bleeding |
Kansas, but blooming Kansas" 1t is
now no longer blooming Kansas but
booming Kansas. Surely the Father of
all is good to US and we all ought to be
grateful and happy.

CONSUMPTION.

1t is said that $4,000 people die an
nuaIly in the United States alone from
this disease. In some sections of the
country one death in every three is from
consumption. This can be, and should
be avoided; our people are too careless
about an ordinary cough or cold, and
the other symptoms of throat and lung
affections that lead to this disease. You
should arrest it while it is in the germ.
Two or three doses of DR.. Bosanko's
Cough and Lung Syrup will relieve an
ordinary cough or cold. It does not
dry up cough like many preparations
on the market and leave the disease be-
hind it, but acts directly on the throat
and bronchial tubes. removing all the

mulates in the throat and lungs. Il

Mr.. G w Rogers, vice. presidcnt Of
the st. Louis & San Francisco railroad,
in June addressed letter to Hon. ]. T..
Parker, United States district judge at
Fort Smith, Arkansas. informing him
that parties driving cattle through the
Creek nation to that road, and to points
on il In the Cherokee nation, are re-
quired by the Creeks to pay q tax of one
dollar per head per month for the right
to drive their cattle through the Greek
nation, and asking the judge whether
they have any right 10 charge this tax.
Friday Mr.. Rogers received q reply
from Judge Parker. who stated that he
had already in . Law Of the Cherokee
nation similar to this one of the Greeks,
providing for the assessment and col.
lection Of tax upon cattle or stock Of
any kind passing through the nation
decided that it was void. Congress
alone had the right to legislate upon

legislation upon the subject by any othel
power is plan assumption Ofthe power
vested exclusively in congress. If per
sons took cattle into the Creek counir,
to Praze them, they had q right to col
lect grazier's tax, but if cattle are pass

The attorney general of Kansas has
commenced suit to forfeit the charters of
the Union and Kansas Pacific railroads.
These proceedings were inspired by
demagogism IN the last legislature of

WHAT ONE WOMAN CAN DO.


A few ycarl ago Mrs. Augustus VIII
son resolved that Parsons should have a
public library, and any one who talks
% her a short time learns that with her
% resolve means Ia do. We met her
last winter at Topeka where she was
endeavOrlng to induce the members of
the legislature to make an appropria-
ton to the library. This could not be
done, of course, but this was only one of
the many failures the lady has met
with in her endcavors IL accomplish
her very laudable purpose. For two or
three years she has given her whole
time to the object, and much of her Ow n
money. She has succeeded in erecting
large, handsome and valuable build
Ing, which contains 5000 volumes of
books. She has received much encouT-
agement from her own city, but they
could not do It all. Hence the untiring
efforts Of Mrs. Wilson. The Fort Scott
Monitor gives the following account of
the struggles of Mrs. Wilson, who is the
wife OF prominent and wealthy citl-
zen, and who has one of the most deslr-
able homes in Parsons. When this Is
read It will readily be seen why she IS

TIE SCOTT LIQUoR Law.

The New York Times thus refers to
the workings of the Scott liquor law in
Ohio, especially to its effect in reduc.
ing the tax levy by adding over $2,000,-
600 to the revenue of the state:

faded buster and clutching a gripsack
in his hand, entered the secretary's office
In the Western Union building. He de-
posted his gripsack on a chair, and,
after placing his ancient head
gear on table remarked to
one of the clerks: "I heerd there
wus strike and that youse fellers wus
in need of men. l live over In Jersey,
and I've been misfortunate, and /
thought I'd Just come over here to

guess can learn all about the telegraph
in two or three days. Say, boss, do you
think kin ketch on?"
The clerk blandly replied that he did
not believe there was "a ketck" for the
old man. The company has engaged
enough men already.
"Just my luck" exclaimed the old
man, spitefully, as he took his depar-
ture.
