5000. Mr.. B has been out of health
for some time, and this little lift will
come good.
DeLanda, of Fairport, n. Y. are al

his hand badly hurt while stretching
barb wire last Thursday. The wire
while tightly strained, broke from the
stretcher, and passing with snap
through his hands, cut them terribly,
as may easily be imagined.-[ Independ-

Our readers probably do not under
stand why the people of south eastern
Kansas are so anxious to have the Indian
Territory opened to settlement. The fact
is that great portion of the land down
that way is so poor that the people are
anxious to move, and are ONLY able to
90 a short distance. Just over the line
would tax their ability in that direction
to the full EXTENT Beattie Boomer.
A MAI who formerly lived near Phil

my farm that you can take off aud sell,
for Gods sake, do it, and send me the
money, so l can get back home again. -
He will pass through Kirwin with a

For the last year or two, enlargement,
has been the word with many of the
western Kansas newspapers. In that
time the Miltonvale News has enlarged
three times; the MillbrOOk Times, the
Lenora Leader have each added col
umn and been other wise improved; the
last but not least in this line is the en-
largment of that most ably edited paper
the Beloit Courier, which comes to US
this week as nine column folio, making
it in size, what it has long been acknowl-
edged to be in all other respects, the
peer of any paper In northwest Kansas.
May Bro. Caldwell and his Courier
continue to broaden and widen until
many more shall hear their gentle racket.
Messrs. Smith & Smyth, the gentle
men who purchased sec. Sc of this town
ship, arrived this week with large lot
of fine hogs. The balance eff their

up about 800 bushels of good corn,
some of which will be for sale.-[Logan

DIR. 1, Miley, of Marvin, made US a
call Monday. He reports number OF
cases of diphtheria in that place two OF
w. H. Vincent's children having died
and several other members of the fami.
Nv have been very bad, and one still
dangerous. Also that the disease has
developed in Henry Worley's family
and he fears that should the contem
plated protraeted meeting be held by
the F. NJ. church, that the disease may
be widely spread. The school house
has been closed against both school and
church, and it is to be hoped that such
precautionary measures may be taken as
will prevent further spreading of this
Eerrible disease.
