We have had bountiful and al
most continuous rains since the 18th.
Just raining evenings and nights,
leaving the days for the farmers to
finish garnering their beautiful
crops of wheat, oats, timothy, clover
and other small grain.
The growing crop bids far for
abundant yields. Therefore, those
desiring to live in land of refined
and good morals, pleasant financial
and social surroundings, and among
a people whose motto is, peace on
earth and good will to men," would
do well to locate in Sumner or vicin-
ity, and as further inducement we
are in the midst Of q fine agricultur-
al and stock growing country and
our peoples financial condition Is so
good they can at all times discount
their bills for cash-in fact, our
crops are so bountiful and abundant
that the earth groans beneath its
burden.
We have two Sunday schools
the Union school meets in the morn
ing for the benefit of believers OF the
different predictions Of the various
denominations and is conducted by
Mr.. Perkins. The other meets in
the afternoon and is under the man
agement of the NJ. E. Church. They
are both well conducted and have
good attendance.
Our city council met o few days
ago and raised saloon licenses to
500 per annnm. This IS another
step in the direction Of reform. and.
we understand, makes saloon license
here, including state and county,
$3.50 per annum.
"A special car Of railroad officials
passed through OR town on the Wa4
bash road Friday, consisting Of r.
G. Butler. manager OF The western
division; A. n McGsegor. tsain
master, and VIM. Jennings, freight
agent. They stopped OFF at the new
depot, held confab over the Wa
bash interests in Sumner and then
went west to look after other duties
and interests of the Wabash at other
points.
The building Of the new grist
and saw mill by Messrs. Vance and
Smith, in the north part of town is
progressing rapidly. The building
Is to be large and first class. The
lots were donated by the c.. b. and
X. C. r. r. Land Company. The
mill is to be propelled by = twenty
FIVE horse power engine. This will
be . great accession to our milling
interests, and while this is true there
is still room for other paying lndus-
trial pursuits, as we need good
creamery, tin and hardware store, I
q live newspaper, bank, and many
other industrial pursuits, including .
first-class livery stable.
An excursion on the c., b. and
K. c. road from Browning and inter-
mediate points passed Sumner for
CarrolIton Sunday morning at 10
O'Clock and returned at 6 p. m.
There were six coaches all well filed.
We understand all passed pleasantly
and that no accidents occurred DUR
ing the trip. U. T. GREENE.

YES" he replied. ebut cannot
give his name. He Is man OF large
fortune and could easily have done
it, but respecting has friends wish
Grant desired that his name should
rot be made public 1 have nsVer
seen Gen. Grant show SO much enc
ton and appreciation as be did in
this instance. Shortly after that
congress passed the bill empowering
the president to retire . former gene
eral officer Of the army on full pay,
and Grant was at once nomlnneed
and confirmed, and thus was put be-
yond the need Of awaiting himself Of
the generous liberality Of bic
friends. -
There is reason 10 believe that the
person who wrote Gen. Grant the
letter mentioned was Gen. s. B.
Buckner, Of Kentucky.
Another case something very much
like this Is said to have been done by
a Virginian who Was = general olIlcer
in the confederate, army when very
young and bears . historic name.
He requested clergyman he knew
very we'll, also an intimate friend ee
Grants, to ascertain as delicately ~
possible il the latter was really in 4.
nancial straits. II he Was he intend
ed to write TO Grant and proffef the
loan OF 50. 900 which he had on hand
with no immediate use for. The cir

Washington. Designs In all colors and
STYLES to suit all tastes, and we give the best
quality OF linen and full size Handkerchief
at the lowest prices ever our good fortune
10 offer. A special lot Of pure linen Hand
kerchicfs at two for 25c are a marvel OF
cheapness, and those at 25c each have fancy
borders that are usually only seen In SOC
Uandkerchiefs. One lot at 25c have tandem
broidered initials, same quality us sold last
year for SOC. Specially attractive Handker-
chiefs are those with white grounds and
colored horses heads, horseshoes, caps,
whips, &C., with fancy borders to match.
Fine linen, full size, very stylish, and only
35c each. "
SILK HANDKERCHIEF never were

China silk Handkerchiefs, fancy colored
borders. Twelve months ago we could not
retail this quality under 15c each. We have
combination colOred silk llandkerchiefs,
such as ecru ground and blue hemstitched
border: they are new, finest quality SILK, and
only 15c each. Then we have two lots OF
plain white China silk Handkerchiefs, in the
best quality silk imported. We only ask %
and Csc each, but would remind you that
| they are not to be purchased elsewhere under

with hand-embroidere borders, at Sl.6S, are
| lower in price than the same quality can be
bought elsewhere. Gentlemen are requested
to examine our new stock OF handkerchief
without reference to purchase.

LADIES'.

Nearly all ladies are aware that the Palais
Royal Is noted for variety and cheapness OF
Hand kerchiefs. but our oldest and most en-
thusiastic patrons will be surprised 1--WE sur
prise ourselvcs) at the endless variety and
the remarkably low prices of the new stock
Of fall STYLES IN IInndkerchiefs.
In LINEN HANDKERCHIEFS we come
to the front with $50 dozen OF warranted
pure Linen Handkerchiefs, with fancy col
Ored hemstitched borders, at 12lc each. We
have always kept lIundkerchiefs at l2lc, so
have our competitors but never in our his
tory, and never In the record OF competing
merchants, have there been offered such
STYLES, such quality, such quantity. This
would be idle talk, and worse than useless,
II VIC could not substantiate what we say,
and we are not such fools as not to know 1t.
We do know, and we do claim the largest
stock, tho most variety, aud the best quality
Handkerchief for 12lc In Washington city
Our sheer Linen Handkerchief Mt l9c are as
good quality as those wehavo sold previously
for csc. We have the horring-bone hem
stitched borders in plain white; also colored
borders in quaint Egyptian designs, and
some with wiue colorcd borders In combina-
ton colors, which are new and pleasing to
the eve, and, being the sheerest linen,
| equally pleasing to the nose. For 21c we
| surpass ourselves-all previous exhibitions
are nowhere. We have u different designs
| in borders, and the quality OF linen given rs
equal to any TIandkerchiefs heretofore sold
| for 35 and 4Sc. One style, particularly strik-
| ing, is the "Neapolitan,n being combina-
ton Of colors such as pink and white, blue
and white, ecru and white; each quarter OF
the Handkerchief being different color.
Another pretty style is Handkerchief with
q big black star or square In the center, and
with hemstitched border to match. We also
have Initial Handkerchiefs, genuine hand
embroidered, for 25c. Space will not admit
nor will our ability suffice to describe the
wondrous, incomprehensible, mathematical
geometrical, floral, and other styles of fancy
colored borders, which are shown In our 25t
IIandkerchiefs. We forgot to mention plail
white Handkerchief at 25c. We have then
with raised tucked borders, double hem
stitched, dice pattern, and various othe
STYLES of borders. OF course we have Hand
kcrchicfs at 80, As, IS, 49, CSC, $l.25, $3.50

Gen. Benjamin f. Butler yesterday, in the
court in general term, continued his argument
in behalf OF Samuel Strong in the case Of the

that Gantz and Appleman, who were contrac-

with the officers of the District government to
cheat the United States out of $685. on the II
street sewer. He said that he would say SO
boldly because he could prove II.
