"Skeeters?'' shoRld think So Why,
Mr. HERALD. the favorable crop weatb-
er has been so good on mosquitoes that
a great many of them viii weigh q
pound. This is ssa true fact.
Now, with this little piece Of Informs
ton let me tell all the news know
bless the skeeters!
In the first place we might mention
some of the little patches that our enter
Prising farmers are trying TO work over
this year, as far as we are informed. for
we only wish 10 state facts:
Tho Shearer brothers have about 125
acres of small grain. besides a big corn
crop, and, by the way, we passed that
way recently and found them still break
ing out more land. Must have all they
can work you know.
i. q, Fleisher has about 50 acres OF
corn, besides small grain.
Ed Clark has about 20 acres in crops
and we can say for both he and his
father. o. R., that they always farm
right up to the handle. NJ. Osborne
has planted all of his old land and bro
ken ont a lot of sod. i W. Brady,
and the Davis boys have over 100 acres
in crops, and feel like they have, in the
fertile fields under their management, a
bonanza.
w. P, Pratt has ali of his farm in,
and a fine farm it is. w. II. Boughten
has spread all over his farm, and also
ali over the Ordway farm.
In fact, all of our people are full of
grit, and bright prospects for crops,
stimulate them to just jerk the bones
out Of all the work that comes to hand,
and they cry for more.
We can't possibly write up all that is
being done in one letter, nor even men
ton what's being done by each indi-
vidual. but win, perhaps, write more
about these things in the future.
Mr.. Mcclure has started to turn mn
more sod on the farm which he lust
bought of d. G. Harrison. He has a
fine place, bought it cheap. and viii.
doubtless be happy and prosperous.
Our sheepish men are now thinking
about shearing their focks, and the
heeces will soon be rolling from the
scaHOlds, faster than the political heads
of Republican Ofice-holders are being
Topped off. Isn't that so Mr.. BaumP

A TOUCHING TESTIMONIAL.

We clip the following extracts from
the Western World, published at Wa
Keeney, Kansas
The petition of the Trego county
bar and our county officers to Judge
Pratt to be a candidate for Judge
again is step which the World fully
endorses. Whether we have spoken
OF him privately or through the col
umns of the World, the gist of our re
marks has been that, in the case Of
Judge Pratt cOnsenting to become a
candidate, we would support him
against the whole of any possible field
Of candidates which could be made up.
There are other good lawyers in this
district, who would make splendid
judges. When one of these gets the
position, he will be almost sure to
want it tor at least two terms. We
believe that Judge Pratt's health has
so far improved that he could afford
TO fill the position for the coming
term. If he consents to become q can
didate, we see no reason to doubt
that he will be nominated trium-
phantly OF the first ballot.
We have a worthy Judge. It would
be the proper thing TO retain him,

confidence in your integrity as a man
and ability as a Judge, and believing

CHILL.


ering. Chill had learned by eX-
perience that nothing could be gained
and that the general welfare was not
promoted by international conven-
lions. He could not think
of :any measure a congress
of this sort would agree
upon, and, while his government was
an xious to avoid war and secure u
peaceful settlement of international
disputes, the proposition did not find
any favor In his eyes. II the United
States desired TO call such congress,
Chill would consider the situation,
but reserved the right TO decline In
case the government 80 desired.
The fifth and last proposition was a
general one and invited the sugges-
tons OF Chill as to the best mode OF
increasing trade between that cnu utry
and the United States. The presi-
dent repeated what he had
said previously about the impossi !.
bility Of securing large trade, but
tn ought IL there could be direct COM
munication by steam from the ports
OF one country TO those of another
commerce would be greatly aided. III
any steamship company in the
United States would es'
tabllsh such communication
he believed the congress of Chill would
give 1t subsidy such as was given the
Pacific Steam Navigation Co. of Liv-
erpool. That line receives an annual
subsidy Of $4,000, and the CHILEAN
company, which employees YES
sells along the coast between
Valparaiso and Callao was given $3.50,
coo a year, under the condition that its
vessels we're always subject to charter
by the government, and might be
used as transports and cruisers
at time of war. Similar
aid would be afforded to
any such company DESTROYS of trading
along the west of Chill, AS 1t was the
policy of the republic to encourage
commerce and legitimate competition.
