BELLFONT MENTIONS.

Tramp, tramp, tramp: the tramps
are marching from FIVE to ten day, and
the song is: "Will you please give me
something to eat? l have not had
mouthful for two days, and have not a
cent of money" with variations. Some
say they have been looking for work.
but could find none. Others, that they
are going to work on the irrigation
ditch, and are out of money 1t is re-
markable that the majority of those
begging their bread as they pass to and
fro, are healthy, strengthening young
men, from eighteen to forty years of
age. A sad commentary on the frugal
ETY. of many young men.
Almost an accident occurred here
last week. Our section foreman mount
ed railroad velocipedc and started
some distance ahead of the handcar,
which was manned by four of the sec
ton hands. A race began with the fol-
lowing results: Handcar overtaken the
velocipedc, a man in the ditch with We
loclpede on top.
-Springtime has come, and farmers
are turning over their plows and making
such repairs as are necessary before en-
tering on two or three months steady
work; and she blacksmith comes in for

Mr.. Emery Allen is still receiving
loads of grain from far and near, to be

SPEAREVILLE BLADES.

Everything points to an unpreced-
ented rush of immi gration to this part
of Kansas this spring.
Mr.. J. Baird, of Hodgcnan coun-
ty, was in town Wednesday. He re-
ports his cattle as not doing just first
rate, being troubled with some kind of
itch that has made them rather thin in
flesh.
The court house bonds, which were
voted on in Hodgeman county the Goth
of last month, were defeated. They now
propose voting SIS. 900 bonds. Ten
thousand dollars for court house and
five thousand for bridges across the
Buckner, Sawlog and Pawncc.
Work on the Eureka Irrigating Ca
nal was resumed last Tuesday. Quite a
heavy force-some $50 teams-are now
employed by the company, and it is the
purpose of the company to put on all
the force that can be conveniently hand
led in order to push the work along as
rapidly as possible. Water will soon
be made to STOW uphill here as well
as in Colorado, and, there will be a
good body Of it, too, the effects of which
will be apparent this coming season in
various quarter-sections along the line.
MIR. J. D. Shaffcr will open up a
lumber yard in Speareville soon as the
material for the same will arrive, which
will be some time next week. This
makes three yards for the town, and to
an ordinary observer would seem that
it was overriding the business in SO
small a place, but to one familiar with
the surrounding country and aware Of
the immense amount of building ma
terial that will be used in the near fu-
ture, will think otherwise. No, if we
may be allowed to judge from indica-
tions, three yards are not going to over
do the business. This point enjoys
many advantages, let us cultivate and
seek to improve them when and wherev-
er an opportunity presents itself.
Mr.. Shaffer will add builders hard
ware to his general stock Of lumber.
