Special Correspondence OF the New Dominion.
BETHEL, CLOUD COUNTY, KAN,
April 5.-After nearly two weeks of
beautiful spring weather came a
blast of wind and snow and freezing
weather. So much snow and rain,
however, nearly insures good crop
in Kansas, and farmers are always
glad to see plenty of each.
The sick are generally better.
Mrs. Frant Courtney is looking quite
well and was able to be at Bethel
church week ago.
Cyrus courtney is on the sick list
They called doctor but l don't
know how he is at this writing.
Isaac Vanzant, the popular clerk
in the star store at Delphos, has been
sick and came out to the vicinity of
Bethel and recruited among friends,
and is now at his post.
The clothing pedlers have been
here and are gone, after selling
vast amount of goods.
Morris Coalbank has rented farm
near Delphos and will board with
W. H. Courtney, better known as
"Bud" Courtney. bud" had num-
Der of fruit trees destroyed by fire,
which got away from a neighbor on
an adjoining farm. This is the time
Of year we expect such things, for
in burning off old grass sometimes
with the greatest precautions fire
cannot be controlled.
Erastus and Waitman Davis, Lins
Hunt and Grant Dinwoodie start
this week for their claims. Mrs.
Davis, we are told, will visit her ma
tive home near Granville, West Va.
Mrs. Dinwoodie will stay with her
father, Col. Reppert, until Grant
prepares house on his claim. We
are sorry to lose our friends and
neighbors from our midst, but hope
they may prosper in a new land.
Our farmers are putting out small
fruit trees of every description. This
we like to see, and in five years our
friends in West Virginia, if they will
visit us, can be beautifully supplied.
A stove upsetting at Coil Everley's
set the carpet on fire. Rein stamp

The average small boy likes to
fight humble bees, and a number of
them had this fun for the first time
last summer, as bees are scarce here.
One little six-year-old went home
with one ear as large as two and one
eye shut. His mother in astonish-
ment said why, my son! what in
the world is the matter?"
Boy: "Been fightin' humble bees"
Mother: "You poor child, didn't
it hurt when they stung you SOP"
Boy: NO"
Mother: "How did it feel thcn?"
Boy: "Hot"
That definition will pass.

The cashier Of one Of our banks
remarked, recently, that money has
not been 50 scarce in this communi-
ty for fifty years as it is now.
This statement may be literally
true, and yet not justify the infer
ence that 'times are hard" We are
only justified in saying that "times
are hard" when we are hemmed in
with insurmountable obstacles to
anything better. Times are always
hard to those who make no effort to
avoid them. Thrift and abundance
do not come TO the indolent and pas
sive. Prosperity of the public and
the individual is always the result
of energy, activity and enterprise.
Money is plenty in the country at
large, and if there is not enough
here it is our own fault.
We pointed out the fact, last week,
that railroad offered equal facili-
ties for expectation and importation.
The importation is certain to go on,
and the expectation is simply mat
ter with ourselves. If we make
nothing to sell we will have nothing
to export. So long as our money
lasts people will continue to buy
abroad what they can't get at home
They will go further than that: they
will buy abroad that which they can
get cheaper than at home. This is
a law of trade that is universal. 1t
is personal right which everybody
may be relied upon to exercise, and
nobody can complain.
Therefore, while we continue to
buy abroad, and nothing is produced
to sell and bring money back, there
can be but one ultimate result, and
it is that of which we are now com
planning scarcity of money. 1t
is only a question of time, if this
thing goes on, until we shall have no
money.

We present to our readers this week
an able and interesting essay delivered
by Col. @. T. Calhoun before the Able
Vile Literary Club, on the night OF
March 26th. The club met at the resi-
dence of Col. f. B. Gary.
The essayist selected a very olive
and puzzling question and has treated
it with much discretion and decision.
We know Of no question that has been.
and continues to be of so much interest
MS that Of the repeal of the lien law.
I'VE suggest to the farmers convention
whichsis about to meet that this is a
mater to which they may profitable do
vote much discussion. Since they are
principally interested in the retention up-
On the statute books, of this law and
thevsrious amendments, Of the repeal
thereof, it bchooves them after mature
deliberation to say what legislation is
desirable in the premises, and to take
steps to secure the same. All this is
true, likewise of@the. Homestead law
The remarks Of the guests present a,
the meeting together with the fine essay
make interesting reading.

We are sure our neighbor of the Press
and Banner last week, did not mean to
draw sltssintc his controversy with the
School Commissioner and the trustees
of White Hall township. 1t is in no
sense of the word a fight of ours, MOI
do we propose to be drawn into it. A
sense of justice, however, compels IL
to say that these officials are good and
true men and we do not believe they
are capable Of so degrading tbair man
hood, as to do otherwise than their con
,~science and sense Of right would dictate
Nor do we cast any reflections upon the

officials who have honestly discharges
