w. F. Pagett knows how to drum TO,
custom. He beats with the advertising
sticks. Ogallah is good place for a
store. and if Pagett don't stop advertising
in the way he has started out, he is goina
to rake in great lot of big, round dol
lars, which otherwise would go to Ellis
or come to Wa-Keeney. People like to
go to the store of a merchant who thinks
enough of them to issue invitations. They
know that such man, after inviting
them, will do everything possible to please
them. This is good, straight talk, free
from nonsense, and there is not Judi.
cious advertiser who does not believe it.
We expect to be suited when we trade
with Pagett.

Concerning Candidates.

Come to think of it, the announcement
of Geo. Pinkham as candidate for coun-
ty clerk was made last week. Mr.. Pink
ham has made good officer. 1t is our
duty to say this much for him. As man
easy of approach and full of kindness for
all, his superior is not to be found in Ire
60 county, or, for that matter, in any
other part of the great New West. His
connection with the financial system of
this county is at once intimate and hon.
orable. He has studied as no other man
has this feature Of our county affairs. All
tax payers who care to look see the fruits
of his work in Cove county assisting to
fill our county treasury. This matter,
We say, was pushed by Mr.. Pinkham, and
carried to success, in the face of the
opinion of the attorney general to the eff
feet that it was unconstitutional to tax
unorganized counties, and after Ness
county had ceased to levy tax in her mu-
nicipal township of Lane county.

THE REUNION.
hog-trough

Col. P. III. Coney, secretary Of the
Soldiers Re-Union Committee at
Topeka, writes US that fully fifty
thousand old soldiers will be in at
tendance at the reunion in that city
on September % and 30 and Octo-
Der /.
Old soldiers who do not attend
will miss remarkable sight and a
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS time. These
reunions bring together the men
who prevented the permanent es-
Enlistment of a second independent
government-perhaps of many petty
governments-w within the limits of
the United States of America.
When the war was at an end, these
men did not part company lightly
or without a determination to hold
reunions, where chances would be
presented for some of them to meet
again. Time has thrown intensity
into this feeling. At these re-un-
ions and encampments, no embar-
rassment is lodged between the par
Elephants. A common understand
ing makes all approachable and
akin. For the most obvious of
reasons, meetings are possible at this
reunion which never can be re-
allied hereafter. The Cycle of
Death conducts a steady harvest.
AT tins reunion every state which
furnished Union soldiers will have
headquarters. By means of a regu-
lar system of bulletins, the presence
OF all old soldiers will be announced,
in order that their comrades in all
parts OF the camp may be enabled to
hunt Tor the possessor Of any new
name which may strike them. En-
tertainment will be very low-hard-
ly more than nominal.
How many members of CAPTAIN
Trego Post will go? Please let us
know, so that arrangements can be
made for all to go together.
Collyer Post ought to furnish
some reunion attendants.
There are old soldiers not belong
ing to any post who should go.
The railroad fare will be only one
cent mile each way.

Mrs. A. Vail is highly incensed at
the item from the Golden Belt, which we
copied in our issue of last week. She
authorizes us to denounce as wholly un-
true the statement that she raked in the
dimes telling fortunes at Grinnell. She
AYERS that she merely told the fortunes of
some OF the young folks, and did it alto
gether for fun. In fact, Mrs. VAIL don't
like the general tenor of.the item referred
to. Our reporter CALAMITY promised to
set her right before the WORLD and the
rest of mankind.

The Town Of Familton.

The healthy advertisement OF Baker i
Sons will be seen without any difficulty
by the many readers of the WESTERN
KANSAS WORLD. The success OF this firm
fully attests their wisdom ID demanding
the free use of printers ink. When they
have good thing for sale, they are too
wise to keep the knowledge hidden from
the people.
This is a proper time for US to give some
historical data concerning the new town
which has been surveyed and plated
within the past week. Its location is in
Cove county, midway between Collyer
and Buffalo Park, on beautiful stretch
of. ground which commands view OF
both those places. OF course, it is on the
railroad. It contains 1855 acres of land.
This new town has been named Hamilton,
in honor OF one of the gentlemen who
have an interest in the town site and in
thirty-six sections of railroad lands which
they have purchased. The gentlemen
who own these lands are: j. FL. Rushton,
secretary of the Fairmont Town Com
pany, Fairmont, Fillmore county, Neb.; ].
o. Chase, president First National Bank,
Fairmont; Irwin B. Chase, cashier of the
same bank; E. G. Sawyer, also of Fair
mont, and J. H. Mcconnell and VIM.
Hamilton, both of Omaha, Neb., and con-
nected with the U. P. railway.
About one hundred families of Dunk
ards will locate between now and the first
of next March at Hamilton and on the
lands extending ten miles north of that
place and twenty miles south. It is ex-
pected that building will be begun at
Hamilton within week or two.
Baker & Sons, of this place, as will be
seen by their advertisement, are agents
for that town site, as well as for the lands
lying on all sides of it for many miles.
Some member of the firm will be out
there regularly to see that the require
ments of business are met fully.

President Cleveland took three
Democrats out of the Senate to form
bis Cabinet. They were the most
avail,ble men he could command,
and as the Senate is Republican the
temporary withdrawal of three DEM
ocratic votes could cut No figure in
the matter of the confirmation OF
bis appoin'ees. Lincoln took Sew
ard, Chase and Cameron from = Sem
ate where bis arty bad q minority,
solely tecause he found no one out
side the Senate to equal them in the
emergency then upon the country.
Grant drew but little upon the Sem
ate, because there was a large oppos-
ing faction of his own party there
and he c,uld not afford to, and his
Cabinet was hardly of the very
highest quality. Garfield took Blaine
and Kirkwood from a Senate which
was closely divided, and almost i'm
mediately regretted it, but in the
splits in his party he had but little
choice outside the Senate Chamber
for q good Cabinet.
