DARLING MINNIE.

The funeral services of Minnie, daughter
of Chas. ii. and Hattie Hunter, will be held
from the residence Of the parents this morn
ing at 10 o'clock. All friends of the family
invited.
Another sweet little darling to be given
UP. Comes now to our mind the long sun
ny days of last summer and little phaeton,
and in it. beside her mother, the face of AZ
angel. She was An angel then, is An angel
now; daughter Minnie, darling. Her bright
wings have borne her safely to that Eden
where freshness never fades and whose
and whose splendors are the unfoldings of
an eternity, illumed with such spirits as
bright-eyed Minnie. who has only left her
troubles and senseless clay behind. That
clay, for the sake Of the loved spirit flown,
is vet dear and must be, so it will be ten
derby carried away and entombed, with clods
which will be often wet with the tears of
the mother who bore her, but Minnie will
not be there, and the sun will kiss away
from her grave all such tears as An e1hala-
ton which shall reach Minnie's heart and
home in heaven.
"And then your hope, that fairy hope;
Oh she awak'd such happy dreams,
And gave your souls such tempting scope
For all their dearest. fondest schemes"

NO, THANK you. WE NEVER DRINK.

We are reliably informed that a drum
mer for an eastern brewery, in view of the
present stage of the new prohibitory law
which is characterized by its wonderfully
mild provisions, has taken orders in this
city for case or bottled beer for future de-
livery to the amount of five car loads. One
of the orders for six eases is from . man,
who SO far as We are aware, never INDUCES
but the dealer vouches for the genuineness
Of the order. There seems one thing GER
tain and that ia that an open saloon will be
out Of the question with such a law upon
the statute books. We should be tempted
TO doubt the sanity of a man who should at
tempt to sell any kind of liquors unless as
druggist in the face of the new law. There
is another thing about ths law and that is
it will eliminate the whisky question from
the city elections this spring in this state, as
no city or town can either exact license or
fine for officers, knowing to such traffic, are
made equally liable with the man who sells
unless such officer takes prompt steps to
have the seller punished. SO far rs the snle Of
liquor is concerned under the new law i. will
make no difference whether city admins
stration favors saloons or not they cannot be
run or whether the officers are friendly or
not to the sellers they cannot be protected.
We wonld also call the attention of the
drummer to that clause in the law which
makes it a Unable ofense for any railroad or
express company TO handle the stuff.

ARKAhsAs VALLEY FRUIT.
A Pew Things That Some People Don't Yet
Know.

Now comes the secretary Of the Stzts Hor-
ticul society with the information, which is
telegraphed all over the county, that the
peach crop in Kansas for 1885 will be . to-
tai failure and that peach orchards to a
large extent, have been winter killed Per-
sonaliy we have made no examination, but
having kept pretty close weather eye upon
the antics and extremes of the past winter,
we will venture the opinion that the secre-
tary is off as to killed orchards, and that the
peach crop will not be failure.
P.S. Since writing the above Mr.. Il r.
Moser, one of the most reliable fruit men Of
this state, the gentleman who made the ex-
hibition at Cincinnati last fall, which took
the entire bakery, also the gold medal, came
into our Office with an xrmfull of peach
links cut from many different trees includ-
ing budded kinds of the most tender vari-
cites, and not one bud in twenty
was found to be injured. Just - we expect
ed Mr.. NJ. also seys, and emphatically, that
with all the successes of the past there never
Was year when the promise was 20 great
for big fruit yield as it is this. Nothing
but storms OF an unprecedented and un-
looked for severity can beat Us out Of big
crop. This is not only truo with regard to
peaches, but all kinds of fruits, including
berries of all the varieties grown here. And
that is all right, up to the EAGLES standard,
too, of this valley. The truth is, what holds
good for the gumbo soils and unaccountable
climate Of northeastern Kansas, is not true
of the Great Arkansas Valley. The Neosho
and Kansas valleys, and all that portion Of
the state, its soil, water and climate, belong
to and are part Of the Upper Missouri
system, while this side of the great swell,
which runs northwest and southeast through
Kansas, the Arkansas valley, its soil, waters
and climate, Is but an extension of the Lower
Mississippi river valleys and country Of the
characteristics of which this section partakes.
Just as northeastern Kansas is like south
western Iowa For years we have been try
ing to beat the fact into the heads of some
people, but now out-pops a fruit grower
from the old poke: and announces to the
world that the fruit crop of Kansas is fail
ure, when in truth he was speaking for
very circumscribed section of Kansas, and
which section never produced little else
thanpoliticians anyhow.

THE BooNERS

The three crest topic. that agitated the
public mind in this city yesterday were the
Oklahoma situation, the prohibition ques-
ton and the coming city election. Numer-
Gus little Oklahoma mee4ings were held on
the streets, knots Of people could be seen in
several places in the city discussing the stu
alton, and notwithstanding the big meeting
at Caldwell night before last and the great
efforts being made to give the coming boom
q good send of, the friends Of the move
ment in this city appear to take a gloomy
view Of the situation. A large number Of
teams with supplies and outfits are expected
to leave here for Arkansas City next Mon
day. Gen. Hatch, Lieut. Finley and Lieut.
OConnor, left on the Santa Fe train yester-
day morning for Arkansas City, and Capt
o. s. Rarick, deputy United States marshal,
left for the same place yesterday afternoon
with warrants for the arrest Of Couch and
twelve of his associates. The warrants are

baggage car, two stock cars and coal car
containing two companies Of the Tenth in
fantry white men), with horses, army wsg
ons and munitions of War wen: south on the
Santa Fe at 6 o'clock yesterday evening.
These troops came from Fort Lyon, and
more troops are expected to-day from Mich
igan. The Beacon viii probably say there
are only q corporal's guard in the territory.
The reason for so many troops being sent is
that reports have gone out that an immense
number of boomers are reported to go into
the territory this time. In this connection
it is amusing and ridiculous to hear men
who claim to be Republicans, desclAiming
against that party, and especially against the
Kansas senators and representatives, the only
congressman who ever made any effort to
get the question settled in congress. Repre-
sentative Ryan, Senator Plumb and even the
President have, on more than one occasion,
urged the settlement of the question upon
the Democratic house, to no purpose, as
everybody knows.
