The New Town of Deep water

Although the west has produced towns
of remarkable growth, the new town OF
Deep Water promises to eclipse th"m all.
Deep Water is located on the Kansas
City, Clinton 81 Springfield railway,
(nOw In course of censtruction,) about
eight miles south of Clinton in Henry
county, Mo. 1t is near the great coal
fields, and has tributary to 1t
a very large area of rich farming
country, well populated. Its ad-
vantageous location will command for it
the trade of rich farming community
and its growth Is sure TO astonish even
those who are familiar with the rapid
development of towns and cities in the
great west.
Deep Water is better located, has
more natural advantages, and will IN
doubtedly make a larger town than
either Rich Hill, Missouri, or Pitts
burg, Kansas, the rapid growth of
which has been the wonder of those
familiar with the histories of those
famous towns. The Kansas City, Clin-
ton & Springfield railway will be CON-
pleted to Deep Water and passenger
trans running between Kansas City and
that point, about June 10, next. Messrs.
Keith s. Perry. 532 Delaware street,
Kansas City, will give full information
n relation TO the new town.

AINUET.

The last hop of the season, given by
the Minuet club at the Parlor rink last
week was such an one as to cause each
participant to regret that it was the last.
The night being delightful and comfort
ably cool large and very fine company
of society people of the city and from
abroad assembled in response to the
clubs invitations. The parlor rink, as
decorated from time to time, ap-
peared more than usually cheerful.
Our rink is no barn. The blue star
set ceiling with sides OF light blue; the
decorations of colored drapery with
Chinese fastening; The paper baskets and
chains, with links of varied hue sus-
pended from the gas fixtures and stretch
ed between them; the lace curtains; the
mottoss. and the most recent of all, elk
large gilt framed paintings; combine
with the characteristics of f1rst-class
public hall, the cheer of home, and at
test that the name is no sham. The
grand march finished, the regular pro-
gram of nineteen numbers was COM
menced and finished after the twelve
stroke had sounded It's echos through
the nights stiffness. The music was
furnished by the K. of P. orchestra, and
together with fine prompting, WAS much
appreciated by the dancers. After this
season of pleasure we express the sentI-
ment of the society folk by saying that
from first to last the entertainments
given by the Minuet have been all
that could be desired, and by hoping
that the interim between the last dance
of the season and the first of the ensC-
! ing season will be brIef.

Some time ago L. w. johnson adver.
tised tor the last will of Robert Z. Per
ley of Big Springs, Texas, offering s., 900
to the finder. Mrs. F. A. Moreland of
Emporia, Kansas. has the will in her
possession, her little son having picked
IL up in the street, but she cannot find
the advertiser. The Will bequeathes q
5000 acre ranch and 10000 cattle to
Maud Perley, but her residence is un-
known.-New Orleans Times Demo-
Graf.
1t is quite likely if there was anything
in this twill matter" which has been
mentioned in some of the papers here
and elsewhere, that the advertiser would
have been on hand long ere this. or that
some arrangement would have been made
to communicate with the non est John
son In case of the finding. The coinci-
dence of the name Perley, in the paper
in Mrs. Moreland's possession, with that
of our esteemed townsman Mr.. 1. Z. Per
ley, and the yet further coincidence OF
the name OF the person in whose favor
the will Is made, with that of his
daughter, made the finding OF the
will at this point remarkable
and has led to frequent inquiry. The
facts. however, that Mr.. l. E. PerleI
knows nothing of such person as Rob
ert z. PerleY, and that the will was ad
vertised here, reported found a few day
lster, and that the meteoric advertise
has not appeared or been heard from
make the above condolences only proc
of the thinness of the hoax, which it l
probable the whole thing Is.

CHARLEY AND Hal.

CHARLEY AND HAL.
Once there was q man and had two
sons. One was the age OF 10; the other
10. The oldest ones name was Charley;
the other Hal. Now, Charley was a
sweet young man, but Hal played many
pranks. l will tell you some OF them.
Once he went into hotel and got the
pass-keY and went down town and got
one made just like 1t so he could get
into every room in the house,
and then he took a young lsdy's pony
and took il down to the blacksmith's
and had shoes put on it and boarded 1t
at livery stable. 1 could not tell you
any more about him, there are-eo many
bad things he done. Charley went on
through his life wise man. can only
tell you of the goodness he done to his
father ard mother. People ought to loYe
ley, but Hal was so merry that l
never forgot him only at school
and at my meals, but Charles was not so
merry as he, and of course ought to like
Charley best, ana so 1 do. Charley of
course had lovers, and good man is
honest and steady, but bad man is a
liar and unsteady, Now Charley was
steady and honest, and grew up to be an
old man, and little children played
around his knee, and everybody in
the world beloved blm and was
| happy when he drew near.
and when he died he had
more than 100000 people at his funeral
from all parts of the world, but when
Hal died he did not have so many as
fifty people to his funeral. When he
was little he stole a little money from
his father and mother, and he kept on
taking it, and when he grew to the age
of thirty he had to be sent TO prison, and
his mother and father mouIned for him.
He vast left in prison three years which
seemed long time 10 him
and his mother and father, and
now my story Will end, and
YOU can see what you think OF them both
ana which you think is right OF wrong
Every one was glad when Hal died, a
the age of 40; while the other lived Il
the age of 90. 1 will give you nict
moral, which hope you Will remembel
the story and the two boys:
Moral-It is better to be good thar
bad. We know not what may happier
to us. GOD never tells US how long W,
can live.

We wonder often, perhaps, what oEr
little folks are thinking about, ana
whether their many bright and witty
sayings and doings are from design or

ten yesterday by little girl OF this city,
aged but seven years. 1t is taken from
her manuscript without change, except
in the spelling of two words and the ad-
diuOnai punctuation. 1t is remarkable,
in that 1t shows the development of
ideas of right and wrong of
the faculty of comparison; of
illustrating the idea by imaginary char
acters, followed from young manhood
through life, and is expressed IN a mar
rstive style net possessed b. many OF
mature years:
