on.
Barnum declares that he humbugs
the people because they enjoy being
humbugged. Those who claim to be-

Il. B. Benedict of Logan, who has
been operating the Marvin Mills for p.
| Hanson, for some time, and also for
some time in the Ferret House at Logan,
was caller at the HERALD office yes
terday. hlr. B. viii make a trip TO
Ohio this winter, to visit his parents
and children who live there. He de-
sires to take few samples of Kansas
productions with him, and desires us to
get him some samples of corn, potatoes,
and other farm products. If any one
having some good samples will leave
them at this office we will mark them
and deliver them TO him for that pun
pose.
Look Out for Fraudulent Tickets.
We have before Us a ticket headed
Democratic Ticket" evidently got
ten up to deceive voters into voting
for Garretson and Boyd As it is a
fraud perpetrated in the ''Indepe
pendent" office it only shows the
depths to which these shrieIers for re-
form will stoOp to. Watch them!
The man who will try to steal your
vote will steal your money, if he gets
half chance. Don'C give them a
chance. After trying to buy off
candidate, these men are trying to
make it appear that they have
succeeded, and are circulating these,
and we suppose half dozen other
bogus tickets. Look out for them.

Finch no doubt did the he&t he could,

Last Thursday we made flying trip
into the north part of Crystal township
in company with H Bartlett, going by
way of Mr.. ShOecraft's stock farm in
Arcade township.
We found MIR. S. buSily engaged in
| preparing for winter. He is building
| comfortable frame house one and one
| half stories high, with addition of one
| story; he has also just got up d new
Champion wind mill and pump TO sup
ply water for his herd of cattle now
numbering 10 head. His farm consists
OF about l ZOO acres, and when he com
pletes his arrangements, will be one Of
the best arranged in the county.
From there we went across the coun-
ty to the farm of j. d. Matteson, on
/ West cedar, where we took dinner.
We found j. D. busily engaged in gath
ering his corn crop, and well pleased
with the results of this years farming,
but considerable exercised over the loss
OF some six or eight of his calves and
yearlings which had died or were sick
within the last few days. We also
learned that several of his neighbors had
lost some stock by the same disease,
which had baff1ed the knowledge and
skill of all. 1t was thought to be some
thing like blackleg, but did not yield to
treatment usually administered in such
cases, but it Is to be hoped that it has
spent itself, and may not give fur Their
trouble.
We then went on into the region of
Germantown and back by way of West
Cedar Post Office, into the north part
