a poor article.
Potatoes are generally of good quality
this fall and at fair prices.
Geo. A. Tolbert, our justice of the
peace, is generally away from home
from Monday night until Saturday
noon. Parties having business should
not come to his Office during other days
expecting to find him. He will soon
make other arrangements.
A man is coming here to start boot
and shoe shop next week. He will do
making and repairing and keep good
stock.
The late rains have rendered the
ground here in excellent condition for
sowing fall wheat. 1t is hoped there
will be large acreage put in, for
prices will not always be down and
there was never better weather for do
ing the work.
There are said to be large number
of people who want to borrow money
through the loan agents. There is no
security taken except real estate, and
houses and lots III town are hardly
available for this purpose, even though
a policy of insurance accompanies the
mortgage.
The results of the County Democratic
convention have been discussed on the
streets since Saturday last with consid-
cradle interest. Several parties who
have heretofore taken but little interest
in politics say they will go to the polls
and use every effort to elect the demo-
cratic nominees, one and all, and in adj
dition thereto, support the republican
nominees for Register and County
Clerk. Many persons feel that party
has but little to do in a county election,
or in other words that they may sup
port the fitteSt person for the posi-
tion regardless of party ties or political
factions.
The new elevator is said to be doing
its work finely. The first job on
hand is the Smelling out, and storing,
or shipping of the large cribs OF corn
over the bridge. There are about 40 ;
900 bushels.
There is some new wheat finding its
way into market, but the quality of
much of it is not first rate. Prices are
as good as at any other place in the
county and probably some better.
Apples are now quite abundant, and
the very best range from so cents t.
one dollar per bushel.
There is another ''nigger in the her
house, with some of the professors OF
temperance in this place. They would
respectfully ask where all the money
has gone that was subscribed, in this
and other towns over the state, for tenn
perance or prohibition purposes. Ant
they really would like to know. Viii
some one of the good collectors of mon
ey, for prohibition and temperance pur
purposes, please let all the disciplined
know where the money has gone
Surely it wasn't used for st. John, the
Olathe production? 1t cannot have
been used for political campaigns!
And here are hundreds of towns larger
than this, where from $50 to $500 ha'
been collected for temperance purposes
and now, where is the money?

The examinations which the members of the police force have to undergo in compli- ance with the new rules are not at all popu- lar. Members of the force said last Satur- day that the policemen considered it an indignity to make men who have been doing faithful work on the force for a number of years submit to an examination by a doctor. that it was both wrong and silly: They are kept in discontent by the schemes fer reor- ganiZing the force and without chief and with the idea of examination before them are likely to be great deal less efficient than is usual. Another cause of discontent is the dea af having the officers give their opinions of the patrolmen. The examinations will last from now until the latter part of May. However, the general impression among the best informed officers is that the new rules are not intended to be enforced with such a strictness as to technicalities as to throw out efficient policemen.

A Tide of Visitors Yesterday-Streams
 of Carriages.
 The tide of visitation to East Rock Park may be said to have begun yesterday. Streams of carriages and many of them con- taining ladies were driven to the Park. At one time in the afternoon fully eight hun dred people were on the summit of East. Rock The fine weather, not too warm or too chilly, drew out the people and the main place to visit seemed to be the Park. The recent widening of Farnam drive was completed Saturday and the driving is now good from Bishops gate the whole length of the Park as far as Whitneyville. Some Improvements in the restaurant building at the summit of the rock were made during the winter and it was opened to the public yesterday. The repairs on the Orange street bridge have been com pleted and it now looks like new structure. AS yet the birch buds show little advance and, except for few, blades of grass about an inch long and few ferns in patches here and there, the shrubberies and fields and flower ing plants give little promise of the coming summer life and beauty

Borazel, the true remedy for cold in the head and chronic nasal catarrh, can be found
 at the principal drug stores. It is prenarad
 with great care and does not spoil in any
 climate. It's delightful balsamic odor re-

 it. If the druggist to whom you apply can
 not furnish this agreeable and most effective preparation seek one who can rather than be persuaded to buy something upon which the druggist may make more money, but which will leave 8 bad taste in your mouth for a long time afterwards. Every day we hear expressions of satisfaction from those who. after having tried and proved the insufi- ciency of certain so-called sure cures, have been speedily benefited by Borazel.

David A. Reniamtn.

The death of this old citizen, which occur. red at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Edwin Merwin, 142 St. John street, Saturday after noon, adds another to the list of those who were prominent here in business circles 8
 quarter of century ago who have passed
 away having joined ''the innumerable cara
 van." Of his associates Lucius Gilbert.
 Judson Garfield, John W. Mansfield, Will
 liam Dickcman and many others have gone
 before. The immediate cause of Mr Benia-
 nin's death was Bright's disease although for year or more he had been in feeble health. The death of his wife last summer. to whom he was devoted, gave him a shock from which he never recovered. Although urged by his only son to accompany him to his home in Montgomery, Ala. he preferred ln his declining state of health to remain with his relatives here and among the old scenes, and nothing was left undone that could add to his comfort or relieve his pain. MT. Benjamin was very successful in busi- ness established and carried on in the South up to the breaking out of the war, when nearly the whole of his large fortune was swept away. To the writer he once showed bundle of papers which he remarked had represented over 8 hundred thousand dollars, which had become entirely worthless and among his effects were several bowls of Con- federate money in bills of large denomina- tlons. His business ventures of late years were unsuccessful, and although not impov- erIshed, what was left of his once large property seemed to him of no account His was kind and generous nature In his friendship he was loyal, and rich and poor alike will cherish his memory
