The event In question, transpirsd At
ths workshop Of our fellow citizen,
Mr.. Casper Helbert. he having Just
finished a new is-stOp organ for the
Presby ylerian church ct Msnhafian.
Some several dozen ladies and gentle
men, beside home taisns and profes-
sion, were present While the "orgeI
Probe" was eonducfed By no les
parsonage than Prof Charles Pur,ly,
Of the Bethany aeadeny a Lilndsborg,
who recently returned from q four
years course Ofstudy in the celebrated
eonservatOries At LEIPZIG and Munich,
Germany. The Prof. played a piece
ofhis own composition, followed by
two SOnatas from Rheinberger and q
-c0ncertsatz BY Merkel, then these
were succeeded by q Lengthy Inn
prOvIsation ualng lhe diasrsnt effects
as well as the softest possible intona-
tiOns 70 the fan power sf the work.
On interviewing the PROF he said
81 am highly pleased indeed with the
instrument; L Possesses every possible
degree tof dynamic diferenliation,
and while pOssessing Immense power
Is still endowed with all Of the Piles
ant qualities OftOne. The diapasohs
are very rich and full. The melOdia
has aPowerful aud beautiful tone, and
spsaks weltfOr ~ uskes Ehila the
ehefdeuvre Of the instrument Is a

We would congratulate our friend
Mr. Melbert, for the extraordinary
success be has achieved, and sincere-
ly hope it viii be the means o. paving
the way to his building sim larger
and more complete Instruments; and
we are fully satisfied that our Kansas
people ought % take an interest in n

give Mr. Mslbort q chance to erect his
truly grand instruments in our

lflUtaOurg Bspatch-l
II come up on the Graham from Cinein
natl 1 worked my wns NJ on deck l left
Cairo, ILL.,, three weeks Rgo Monday. The
countrys played ont.
Tho foregoing was the addendum to a TO
quest for money enough to get a meal made
by a tramp on the leyee yesterday to a repor-
ter. The mendican. looked like the snapped
out end Of a hard winter, and evidently had
divorced himself from the allurements OF
soap and water in the remote past.
What do you mean when you say the
country is played outT asked the man with
the pencil
Why, / mean TINT this used 10 be the sea-
son OF the year when work was ~ plenty in
the west a man didn'th have 10 do any. It's
harvest time, you know, and seven yeaIsago,
or 50, a man could trave clean from Belleville,
central Illinois, up into the middle Of Mime
sofa and get all he wanted to eat and drink
without doing a tap OF work
What has made the alteration
Farm machinery. Thats what's killing
tie wost. The wheat harvest In
southern Illinois In the middle or latter part
u June. The harvest hands used to e. down
there and follow up the ripening grain into
WI county, that state. There they'd eros
over by Rock Island into Scott county Iowa.
and follow the reapers clear into Minnesota.
in the middle of September. BY that time
grain would he in stack and threshing com
inenced. They used 10 work the threshing
right back on the same route they followed
up the harvest, and reach st. LOU with IA
locketfnl of money in November"
With enough saved to keep them all win
ter, | presumed"
Nav. With enough TO go on u hallelnjah
drunk and then skip out south for the cotton
Na1d apA efar y. or1 1ffnlfn. y
And how is 1t nowf'
sIt's all played out. Seven or eight years
ago the farmers used to fight 70 get men to
go into the harvest field and pay them s. and
$50 a day and their board. The men were
independent as hogs on ice, and only took II
job just when 1t suited them They'd work u
week or 20 and then go of ON u bum for an
other week In the nearest town, and when the
money was all gone steer for the harvest Geld
again. Thousands and thousands OF men fol
lowed that sort of a life, and the people along
the harvest range were so used TO them that
