While pursuing these harmless inquiries
I saw young lady friend in corner chair,
and, upon learning the nature of my visit,
she said:
s.Here is pointer lis that what you call
it?-for you. The librarian can easily makea
book, popular by simply making a book
fashionable. Here will come a lady and
say: Tell me something good to read He
will give her book andtell her: Here's a
book that's all the rage in Boston, and the
ladies are all inquiring for it, That will
settle it. Inside of a week one must have
read that book to be in fashion, and thus a
demand is created and that book is never at
rest"
'sDo you speak from experience?"
ssCertainly; and from observation, too. l
have known book, without either merit or
originality, to be given great local run by
just that little speech. Oh, that librar ian
has great head"
A SIMPLE WAY
of ascertaining the tastes of community,
as far as a library is concerned, is
merely to observe the condition of
the volumes themselves. Take the
athen@um for example. The popular
novels are worn threadbare and may have
been rebound several times. Mrs. Wister's
translations have loose backs and pages
and Mary Jane Holmes is in rags. The
Duchess is all dogs'-eared from use, and so
it is with them all. The scientific shelves
are neat and new, and the International
Scientific series, the works of Huxley,
Tyndall, Proctor, Lyell and Lubbock
fresh as when they came to the shell yes.
Poetry is scarcely disturbed, and the shelves
where political economy, biography, the
ology the like repose are lonely for want
of visitors. The floor mating in the nook
OF fiction is worn from the constant visits Of
the librarian, while that in other portions is

A Simple, Stylish seaside dress IS Jersey
of navy blue, and skirt of the blue serge
and trimming Of red and blue blocks, on
the scarf drapery. This is designed after
one of Princess Beatrice's costumes, most of
which are of the striking order of taste. A
dress of blue and red striped cloth, with
Tam O'Shanter cap of dark red and blue
quill in the band, gown of dark red habit
cloth with red silk turban, red vests and
blue scarfs are in high contrast to the peach
blossom and hawthorn pink her royal high
ness has worn through her maiden days.

SETTLED DEFINITELY.

By reference to our report of the rain.
fall at this place for the month of July, il
it will be seen that the aggregate is six
and seventeen-hundredths inches. It has
also been SO well distributed as not to
threaten for day or an hour the injury OF
the growing crops. Farmers express
the belief that an elegant corn crop is as
sured. But the water gauge does not re-
veal quite all the water which fell here in
July. The rain of Thursday, the 30, was
very heavy; SO much SO that the gauge at
the railway depo, which holds two and
one-ffth inches, was overrun. Mr..
Moore, the gauger, thinks that about two
and half inches fell during the day of
the 30. 1t rained. considerably in the
night, and the gauge, as can be seen,
marks only two and thirty-eight-hun-
dredths inches for both day and night.
The boom is here to stay for nearly an
other year, at least.

HinshaW's Home,

Mr.. T. J. Hinshaw has frequently asked
us to visit his farm. We have as often
told him, with entire truth, that it was
our intention to do so at the first oppor-
tunity. Now, before the opportunity for
us to do SO has occurred, Ness City
Times reporter has tarried there, and we
take great pleasure in publishing his
statement in full:
son his return from Wa-Keeney this
week, Mr.. Sam. A. Smith stopped awhile
at Mr.. Hinshaw's, miles this side OF
Ws-Keeney. Mr.. 81. has fine bunch OF
cattle and is also a good farmer, but what
he prides himself on is his success in
growing fruit trees and vines. He has
only been on his farm three or four years,
but he has succeeded in raising raspber-
ries, plums, &C., and has apple trees
growing and loaded with fruit, that are
only three years old from the seeding.
Mr.. Smith brought one of the apples,
called Hinshaw's Favorite Seeding, down
with him, and we have seen it with our
own eyes. We speak of this matter SIM
ply to show what may be done in this
fertile country in the short space Of three
years"
Mr.. Hinshaw, the WORLD will add, be-
longs to the industrious painstaking
class who are going to make the western
Kansas Of the near future bloom in CON-
petition with the far famed rose.

Sheriff Baker was almost XII

Sheriff Baker was almost killed
Monday afternoon. He had reached
Millbrook, got his dinner there, and
started down to North Millbrook to view
the proceedings of the judicial convention.
He had not become fairly seated in the
rear end of the wagon in which he was to
ride until the said-to-be drunken driver
caused the vehicle to take sudden and
frightful jerk forward, throwing Mr..
Baker violently to the ground. The back
or the top Of his head struck the ground
with great violence. The wonder is that
his neck was not broken. As it was, his
head, neck and body were bruised Sc
riously, and for several hours he lay
unconscious. Toward evening conscious
ness was regained, and he was barely
able to sit up. He recovered gradually,
until now he is about well.

Drowned Coming to Wa.keeney.

Ness City Nezvr, jay IS.
Last Sunday morning Ed Walters, Of
Highpoint township, lost a horse in the
Walnut at Wooddelrs crossing, and at
the same time had a very narrow escape
from losing his lie. Mr.. Walters had
started for Wa-Keeney, and In crossing
the stone bridge over which about foot
OF water was flowing his horse became
frightened and jumped from the bridge
on the upstream side. After floundering
about for some time the horse was drawn
by the current under the stone arch and
swept away down stream, and drowned.
At the same time Mr.. Walters was car
RED to the bridge, but succeeded in catch
ing the stone and held his head above
water until his cries arrested the attention
of D. F. Wooddell and his father, who,
fortunately, were near the scene. These
gentlemen quickly came to the aid of the
unfortunate man, and although they were
able to reach him, their united strength
was not sufficient to overcome the force
of the current which pressed Mr.. Walters
body beneath the stone arch. To their
efforts was soon added the help of another
party, but the three were not able to ex-
tricate Mr.. Walters from his uncomfort-
able and perilous position. At length
long rope was procured and the three
persons above mentioned, with the aid of
Gilmore Kinney and others, attached it
to his body, and by going up the stream
succeeded in rescuing the almost drown
ing man from what was very near ap-
proach to watery grave.

STATE OF KANSAS, EXECUTIVE Dept, !
TOPEKA. July %, 1885.
A telegram announces the death of
Ulysses s. Grant.
This intelligence, although anticipated
for many months, will be received by the
people of this state with all the shock and
sorrow of personal bereavement.
For nearly quarter of a century past,
Ulysses Grant has been the first citizen
OF the United States. His exalted patri-
otism, his genius as soldier, his brilliant
services as the Commander of our armies,
his honest and loyal administration of
the Presidency, and the purity and mod
esty of his private ]ife-these splendid
qualities, SO signally illustrated during
his whole career, haye filled the world
with his fame; and the people of every
civilized Nation will mingle their tears
with those of the citizens of this country
around his open grave.
AS mark of respect for his illustrious
memory, the Executive Council has di-
rected that the State House be draped in
mourning for period of thirty days, and
that the Executive Offices of this State
be closed on the day of his funeral. And
l do hereby suggest and request that the
people of Kansas assemble, Oh that day,
in churches, school houses, and other
places of public assemblage, there to do
fitting honor to the memory of the most
renowned soldier of the age, and the
First Citizen of the Republic.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto
subscribed my name, and caused to be
affixed the Great Seal of the State. Done
at Topeka, this twenty-third day of July,
in the year of Our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and eighty-fve.

THE decision Of the Court Of Claim
at Washington has decided that the
Chesapeake bay forms no part Of the
high seas. but 1t is wholly within the
territorial jurisdiction and authority
OF the government OF the United
States. The Court says:
"To call 1t bay is almost misno-
mer. It is more q mighty river than
an arm or inlet OF the ocean. It is
entirely encompassed about by our
own territory, and all OF its numer-
GUS branches and feeders have their
rise and their progress wholly in and
through our own soil. 1t cannot be-
come an International commercial
highway; it is not and cannot be
made q roadway from one nation
to another IS
considering, therefore, the impor-
lance of the qestion, the CONFORMATION
Of Chesapeake bay, the fact that its
headlands are well marked and but
twelve miles apart; that it and its trib-
utaries are wholly within our own ter
ritory: that the boundary lines of
adjacent States encompass it; tba,
from the earliest history of the couu-
try il has been claimed to be territor-
ial waters aud that the claim has
never been questioned that it can
not become the pathway from one
nation TO another, aud remembering
the doctrines of the recognized au-
thorities upon international law. as
well as the holdings of the English
courts as to the Bristol channel and
Conception bay, and bearing in mind
the matter Of the brig Grange and
the position taken by the government
as to Delaware bay, we are forced to
the conclusion that Chesapeake bay,
must be held to be wholly within ibe
territorial jurisdiction and authorit,
OF the government of the United
States, and no part Of the high seas,
within the meaning Of the term as
used in sec. 5 of the act of June 5,
