PREPARING FOR WAR

The proprietors of the Intelligencer yes
terday retained Messrs. W. P. Hubbard and
John A. Hutchinson to take charge Of their
case and prepare their answer. What this
will be, has not been stated, but it is rumor
ed they intend first, to dispute the authority
of the court to punish for contempt; failing
in that, it is said they will summon mum
Der of prominent Democrats and boldly
attempt to prove their assertions. They
lay the. foundation of the charges to the
Greenbrier Independent and have so an
nounced to the world in dispatches sent
from that Office to outside papers.
The prevailing opinion among lawyers is
that the authorities are with the court i'll
the matter of authority, and from its fla
there is no appeal. 1t has also been saic

The crops in Wood county are in good
condition, and indications are that they
will be abundant There is larger increase
of wheat than last year. Its condition is
good. The straw is reported by farmers to
be short by reason Of the late spring, but it
has headed out well and the yield will be
good. Oats are not raised here to any great
extent, but what there is shows up. wei.
Corn is always largely generally planted,
and is a staple article. 1t is coming up
nicely, and unless long drought should in
tervene the yield is expected to be large,
All kinds of fruit, except peaches, indicate
abundance. Spring. and summer trade
have been poor, ACCORDING to re

somewhat With fine crop prospects the
merchants are looking for an active and
large trade in the fall.

The wheat crop of Marshall county is
good, and so reported in the State. Corn is
up to the average as to condition, except
that it is little late; oats fair. The bust
ness outlook for our town is good. The
new road of the Ohio River Railrosi opened
up with good success. Work is being
pushed on two gas wells, one of which is q
sure thing as gas was struck at the same
place last year, the flow of which was equal
to the famous Wellsburg well. The flow
was stopped by salt water by boring too
deep. The operators were in search for oil.

must have abundant crops. Fruit crops are

The Medieval Market-Place.

The medieval market-place, wheth-
er of England, or France, or Germany,
or Belgium, or Holland, or Italy, or
Spain, appears to have played very
much the same part in the daily life of
the citizens that the newspaper press
plays to-day. The news which stirred
mems blood, which stung them to ac-
ton, which delighted, or appalled,, or
interested, emanated from the market
place. The special correspondent was
there in the shape of the herald or
messenger, with news from home or
abroad; the "sOciety man" was there
with his last bit of back-stair news or
ale-house gossip, or the tale of the last
great crime or disaster If man
wanted a situation, or "a servant, or q
house, he went to the market-place; if
he wanted to show off new suit of
clothes, he went there; if he wanted to
hear of the last musical piece or the
last theatrical news, he went there; if
he wished to advertise, he went there !;
printed books were rare and costly, so
that popular fiction was to be heard at
the stall of the public story-teller
finally, the market-place was the ex-
change, the counting house, and the
shop combined. The popular hero re-
ceived his triumphs there, the criminal
received his deserts there; in short,
whatever interested the public mind
radiated from the market-place; and
when the public voice was raised, it
was from there. The doges, the secret
tribunals, the despots the inquisitors,
feared plots that were hatched on the
public place far more than those which
were concerted privily in out-of-the-
way hooks and corners; and the ty-
rant, who turned a deaf ear to the ap-
peal or remonstrance which came
from single house or a single street,
found it true policy to face forbearing-
ly the clamor of a market-place crowd.
A sudden, well-directed swoop might
crush the plot of the back room, but to
defy the market meant to DEFY the
people.-London Globe.
Cheyenne transporter. [volume] (Darlington, Indian Terr.) 1879-1886, 1884-08-30

full development, while the bust has
not: but the first care of the anxious
parent is to crush it into proportion
with the undeveloped bust, if not into
something even less substantial. The
standard of size, once fixed, is adj
hered to, and the development of the
figure, if not checked by the treatment,
soon renders the waist ridiculous. If
the development is checked the
woman never attains woman proper
tons at all, but goes to swell the
crowd of i'll made-up milliners' dolls
that may be seen any day on our
steets.
Of course, in theory, the doctors
should warn people of the mischief
they are doing. They should point
out that the young lady's little all
ments are aggravated, if not caused,
by the liberties she is taking with her
anatomy. They should warn her and
her parents that they are destroying
power of the muscles intended by ma
ture to brace and support the figure,
and preparing for collapse in later
life that will defy disguise. But doc
tors, like other people, are very much
what the public makes them. They
have their money to make and their
practice to extend, and they are not
going to injure their prospects by be-
coming John Baptists crying in the
wilderness. They will give general
warnings about the evils of tight-lac-
ing, but if their patients do not choose
to make the application for them
selves, the doctors cannot afford to
make inquisition which is pretty GER
tain to be resented, and issue orders
which will call forth sulkiness instead
of obedience. 1t is presumably to
please men that women indulge in
these antics, and the true remedy,
therefore, lies in educating the mascu-
line mind. If men would learn to take
their ideas of female beauty from
Greek statues, or healthful country
girls, if any remain who have not
learned to ape the follies of their bet
ters, they would probably bring about
a salutary change which doctors might
attempt in vain. But so long as the
preposterous figures of the fashion
plates-tigures usually seven feet high,
with waists that would suit a woman
of four feet six-are accepted as
models, the fair sex will no doubt 90

quality will also be superior. AS the
native prairie pasture becomes smaller
in area in Eastern Kansas, the tame
acres, and these in the line of expert
ment are sown TO tame grass in the
western two-thirds of the state.
THE MINOR CROPS,
such as barley, tobacco and cotton,
have all been fairly successful this
year. Barley has increased largely in
acreage, and is in very fine condition.
This season has been unprecedented in
the extreme western portion of the
state. While drawbacks and unfavor
able conditions have existed all through
the season in a greater or less degree
in the eastern half of the state, there
has been absolutely nothing to inter-
fere with the growth of crops in the
west. If the western counties were as
densely populated as are the eastern,
and the same proportion of land was
under cultivation, the state averages
would be very much larger.
There has been an increase of about
10 per cent in the area of
SORGHUM,
as compared with the previous year.
This increase occurs in the western
portion where sorghum is both planted
and sown almost exclusively for pas
ture and forage. The counties grow
ing the cane for the purpose of manu-
facture have almost uniformly de-
creased their areas. Reno and Rice
counties, in which are situated the two
large sugar plants, have very per-
ceptibly decreased their areas. This is
due for the most part to the difficulty
encountered last year in the disposal of
the product. While all the sugar manu-
factured was sold at remunerative fig
ures, the syrup met with but poor
market and unsatisfactory price.

The WOman's Waist.

The belief in the beauty of absolute
smallness in a woman's waist is one OF
the most vulgar of vulgar delusiOns.
A well-proportiOned waist is beautiful,
just as a well-proportioned hand or
foot is, but disproportionate small
ness in any of the three is defect.
We compassionate the Chinese because
they carry the defect as far as misap-
piled ingenuity can do it, but the Chi
nese school is wonderfully strong
among ourselves. The real beauty of
a hand or foot is in it's shape and pro-
portion to the rest of the body, and
the shape is very difficult to improve
by artificial means. In attempting to
reduce the size, the shape is usually
destroyed. Nothing is more charm
ing than well-shaped hand, a we'll
fitting glove on such hand is one of
the most important items of a
woman's dress But nothing is uglier
than a hand crammed into a glove
which it was never made to wear,
glove which crowds the palm into a
shapeless heap and cramps the fingers
into uselessne.s. The original defects
of the hand are not reMedied in the
least; they are only dwarfed for the
moment by artificial ones. The same
remarks apply to the foot and the waist.
A waist out of proportion to the rest
of the body is ugly, whether it err by
being too large or too small If it is
naturally too large, there is nothing
for il but to make the best of the busi-
ness by dressing so rs to reduce it's
apparent size. Women usually try to
reduce the actual size, and then dress
as if the reduced size were the natural
one. They do not deceive practical
eye, and the deception they achieve is
dearly bought by the loss of health
and irremediable collapse of the figure
at later period. If they only sought
to reach the normal proportion, the
matter would be trifling. But no
woman who begins the process ever
stops at that point so long as she has a
friend with waist smaller than her
own. Absolute smallness becomes the
dominant idea, and, in pursuit of it,
she sacrifices proportion, health, beau
ty, and her chance of living to be
well-preserved woman. Mothers often
begin the mischief. When girls are
at the sage which in men is called
hobbledehoy, their waists often look
big and clumsy. The reason is obvious
enough. The waist has reached it's
