sunav Western kansas.
The cabin homes Of Kansas!
How modestly they stood
Along the sunny hillsides,
Or nestled in the wood.
They sheltered men and women,
Brave-hearted pioneers;
Each one became land mark
OF Freedoms trial years.
The sod-built homes of Kansas!
Though built of mather earth
Within their walls so humble
Are souls eff sterling worth,
Though poverty and struggle
May be the builders lot,
a sod house is a castle
Where failure enters not.
The dug-out homes of Kansas!
The loveliest of all;
They hold the homestead title
As firm as marble halls.
Those jewellers in the caverns,
Beneath the storms and SHOWS,
Shall make the desert places
To bloom as the rose.
The splendid homes in Kansas!
How proudly do they stand
Amid the fields and orchards,
All DER the smiling land.
They rose up where the cabins
Once marked the virgin soil.
And are the fitting emblems
OF patient years of toll.
God bless the homes OF Kansas.
From poorest to the best;
The cabin of the border.
The sod house of the west;
The dug-out low and lonely,
The mansion grand and great,
The hands that laid their hearthstones
Have built a mighty state!

AMONG OUR NEIGHBORS

81. Peter Herald: Last Friday John
Havemeyer and family, of CORTLAND,
drove to New Ulm to do some trading,
and on the way home the neck yoke
broke, letting the tongue of the wagon
down. This scared the horses and they
ran away, and soon upset the inmates of
the wagon. Mr.. III. had his left Shout
der dislocated and received other in
juries. All of the parties in the wagon
were more or less bruised, but not ser.
iously.
Rock County Herald: Rochester will
present worthy candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for attorney gen.
eral in the person of Frank B. Kellogg,
Esq. This gentleman is widely recog-
nized as one of the ablest attorneys in
the state and his record, both in private
and official life, will strongly commend
him to the confidence of the people.
One strong point in Mr.. Kellogg's favor
"a consideration which, in the opinion
of the Herald, entities him to support
Is the pronounced position he has taken
in favor of taxing railroad lands, and
the hostility on the part of certain rail-
road corporations which his opinions on
this question has occasioned. What we
want most of all is men in Office whose
sympathies and interests are with the
people-men who are proof against the
temptations which opportunities for
personal gain may offer, and who will
serve their constituents under any and
all circumstances.
Sleepy Eye Herald: 1t is reported by
some farmers in this vicinity that an in
sect is damaging the oat crop. The
leaves are turning yellow and the grain
| is thinning out. It is only i'm q few
places that this unfavorable appearance
is noted.
The Madelia Times is authority for the
statement that Mr.. Hedge Palmer OF
| that county has span of mares which
he has owned for twenty-one years. He
has sold over three thousand dollars
worth of horses bred from these mares,
besides having eighteen head on his
farm.
New Ulm Reciew: Mr.. Turrell's sup
porters deny the rumor that that gen.
| tleman has entered into an arrange
ment with rival candidates to pool issu-
es. The Redwood and Marshall papers
agree that Mr.. Turrell will continue his
canvass on his own personal strength
and that his candidacy will only end
Will tiiC az
friends of other candidates as emphatic
ally assert that Mr.. Turrell has no real
strength and that he continues his candi-
dacy in the interest of Mr.. Collister.
To the friends of John Lind it concerns
little whether Mr.. Turrell swims or sinks
on his own bottom, or whether he final
| " deserts his craft and rides safely into
| harbor under Mr.. Collester's banner.
John Lind is going to get there first, all
the same.
THE FREE PRESS is taking no hand in
the congressional squabble and does
not intend to until after the nominating
conventions, but it does not believe that
there is any alliance between Messrs.
Turrell and Collester. We may be YER
dant in the political workings of the dis
trict, but all the same we are frank to
state that we do not believe any COM
binations have yet been made. 1t is a
little early for that sort of politics.

Sleepy Eye Herald: Whether the
Democratic party in Minnesota has any
future at all b,fore it depends upon the
action of the next state convention. III
it shall prove to be Il truly Democratic
convention, it may lay the foundation
for success in the state. In that event
it can add no greater strength to the
ticket than to nominate Daniel Buck, OF
Mankato, for governor. Such Il candidate
would be a candidate worth having. He
is Democrat of the genuine, old fash
Toned type. He is honest, he is capable
he is faithful to the constitution. These
are the true tests.
The trouble is, Bro. Bowen, that You
are going to have deal of trouble in
getting a Simon-pure Democratic con.
vention. There is not the slightest
doubt but the Minnesota bosses-"Me

on you outside "fellers," and it is ques.
tionable whether or not they will be sc

ed down. Pat, you know, has answered
1859 applicants politely" that there
are no federal offices vacant, and it is
more than probable that he has taken
the precaution to add to his letters a
postscript something like this. "Your APP
plication has been placed on file and will
receive the mystic letters of endorsement
at my hand when the proper time
comes" Will this bit of mush hold the
"hungry and thirsty" where o. X, p.
II. X. can put his finger upon them? If
so, how are you going to nominate a
Democrat of the genuine, old-fashion-
ed type?"

A VermOnter tells how he conquered

short in the stable, and lifting one OF
her forefeet so that the knee would be
bent up close, made loop of small
rope that would slip easily over the

After SO adjusting the loop would slip
a small round stick in between the

to stand on three legs, for if she moved

In the process of drying gras into
hay most of the volatile oils which give
green heritage its delicate flavor and
odor, arc lost. But some farmers have
found that putting clover and other
grasses in barns while rather green and
mixing with them enough dry straw to
absorb moisture not only preserve the
flavor in the hay, but portion is COM
municated to the straw, making it much
better for mich cows. 1t is possible
that farmers may yet take to sowing
sweet vernal grass for the sole purpose
of flavoring their winters supplies of
dry hay or ssraw.
Prof. Dodge says that the richest ag-
ricultural districts do not necessarily
produce the largest yields of corn per
acre. The worn-out soil of New Eng
land, well cultivated and enriched, has
yielded in the last five years an average
of 30.S bushels to the acre, while the
Missouri Valley, with all its natural
richness of soil for growing corn, falls
below this one per cent. and the Ohio
Valley, with almost equal natural re-
sources, drops nearly five per cent be-
hind. The Middle States are very near
land Statcs.-Vcry true, but in New
England corn is raised Mt Il vast eXpen-
diture of manure and labor. In Illinois
an average of 100 bushels per acre on
eighty acres has been raised
An experienced horticultural says
that to succeed well with cyrrant and
goosebcrry cuttings they must be taken
off and set in August or early in Sep
TENDER, so that the natural warmth of
the soil, before it is chilled by the cool
er weather of autumn, may operate as
bottom heat. This, he says, is the real
secret of success. The shoots of the
present years growth are to be cut six
or eight inches long, placed vertically
in compact soil, with an inch at the top
exposed. The objection to spring plant
ing is the GOODNESS of the earth. The
soil can not be made too rich. He
recommends scventy-iive tons of we'll
rotted manure to the acre. or at that
rate for smaller grounds. He has set
out several thousand bushes lately, in
rows seven feet apart and four feet in
the rows, so rs to allow cultivation
both ways. lessen the labor, keep the
ground clean, and obtain larger and
finer frIlit

The arrival of the bride and her
mother Wednesday morning attracted
but little attention. They were met at
the depot by Miss Cleveland, and in
accordance with the secrecy and myster-
iousness which have characterized
everything connected with the wedding,
were driven by retired, roundabout
route to the White House. This was
hardly necessary, however, as Mrs.
Cleveland does not seem to be annoyed
by the public attention which the Presi-
dent tries so Ingeniously to avoid. Dur
ing the hasty drive to the White House
she caught sight of cab in which some
New York reporters were following her
carriage. She laughed heartily and
seemed to good-naturedly appreciate
the situation.
All sorts of tricks and devices were
resorted to on the wedding day by per-
sons whose devouring ambition was to
witness the ceremony, or at least catch
glimpse of the bridal party. OF course,
no effort was successful. One Young
man, of more or less original ideas,
hunted up Prof. Sousa, leader of the
Marine Band, and asked the musician if
de didn't want to put fifty dollar
greenback into his pocket. The leader
remarked that he had no particular
aversion to greenbacks of large or small
denominations if honestly come by.
"Well, said the young man." | want you

gle. and let me 60 with you to the White
House as member of the band 1t will
be $50 in your pocket if you will do this.
The young man failed in his attempt to
get In disguised, like Nanki-Poo, as a
second trombone, and the musician did
not collect the $50.
All classes and varieties of people WIS.,
tied the White House on Wednesday.
The ubiquitous crank, of course, was
there. About noon short, thick-set
man, with silvery hair and whiskers,
approached the main entrance of the
White House, carrying in his hand a
roll of manuscript wrapped in white
paper and tied with blue ribbon. With
an air of important mystery he drew
one of the door-keepers aside and an
nounced in stage whisper that he had
brought wedding poem, dedicated to
Miss Folsom, to be read during the cere
mony. The door-keeper humored the
poet by accepting the manuscript and
he departed in a satisfied frame of mind.

WASHINGTON, June 4th, 1856.
The president and his bride are at
Deer Park. tits evidently his intention
to make his honeymoon as much his
own private business as was his engage
ment and marriage. While thousands
of eager citizens waited about the front
entrance of the Executive Mansion,
while gamins climbed trees and lamp
posts and dlgnified citizens and their
wives struggled for standing room and
craned their necks in the innocent hope
of seeing the president and his wife,
and while syndicate of newspaper re-
porters hired number of ca rriages i'll
order that they might follow the Presi-
dent to the last the latter, entering a
carriage from the rear of the mansion,
was driven to n special train on a side
track and was of-"Over the hills and
away" before the reporters were aware
that he had left the White House. Presi-
dent Cleveland shows natural taste in
selecting Deer Park for the enjoyment
of his honeymoon. AT the latitude of
three thousand fees above the sea, and
with beautiful bride with French
clothes, he is perhaps as near heaven
as he will ever get. He reached this
sublime height in the private car of
President Garrett, of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, and he is quartered at
the Deer Park residence of the railroad
King. 1t may seem invidious to criti-
else newly married man, but we can
not forget that this is reform admins
tration, and that President Cleveland
paid his own fare III coming to Wash
ington, and that the Democratic press
and stump have never ceased to below
this and similar facts as proofs of their
millennium of reform. :.
The cottage occupied by the President
and his bride is two story frame struc-
ture, containing ten rooms, all hand
somely furnished. A force of one hum
dred detectives was at once detailed to
guard the grounds, and to prevent any
one from approaching the house. 1t is
expected that the President and his
bride will come back to Washington in
a few days, and that upon their return
a reception will be held ut the White
House.
The absence of Attorney General Gar
land from the wedding occasioned much
comment. 1t might have been attri
buted to his distaste for social occasions
and his detestation of dress suit. A

court of Minnesota has very sensibly
decided that mans land cannot be
taken, even on tax title, without per-
sonal notice. 1t follows that all tax IT,
ties which have been obtained. without
such personal service of notice are
void. This renders nearly, if not all,
existing tax titles worthless. No one

ties should not be encouraged in neg
