Although las, winter wa. the mos,
severe ever known by the settlers of
this part of the country winter did
not set in until the frst day of Jan.
uary. The weather prior to that
had been pleasant and the unac-
qusinted with the severity or sudden
changes of the country were unpre-
pared for the weather that followed
January first and much suffering
was the result We know of nc
place where people should be more
particular in fixing up their homes
snug and warm, laying in . good
supply of fuel to last st least q
month, and it would be much better
if three months, if they have stock
to have everything in readiness for
long severe cold spell, than right
here To be sure 1t is not expected
We will have many winters like the
last Was, but it is much better to be
prepared, and then if it comes you
are comfortable if the winter is mild
you are 50 much the gamer. Right
here At home there are but few pre-
pared for winter. Chimneys are
not built, houses are not plastered,
stables are yet to be put up by many
for their stock, and We doubt If there
is man In town who has 3 ton of
coal. 1t is quite warm now, but
any day after the first day of Oc-
tober it is liable to turn cold and
snow fall. We have seen ten inches
of snow on the ground in Western
Kansas in the month of October and
that and this country are really one.
The work of getting ready for win
ter should not be delayed 8 day.

Perhaps a. successful . way of
exterminating the Apaches ~ could
be decided on and . sure thing with
out offending the Boston people is
the course our government has taken
in sending this tribe to Florida, for
it is the opinion of every one who
knovs anything about the two
countries that = man raised or who
has lived many years in Arizona can
not long stand the Florida low lands
and climate. Now unless govern
ment regrets in the future the viping
out of the Apaches sent to Florida
before it is too late, We might just
IS well bid that tribe good bye, and
wipe their names OF the slate for
they are on the dead run for the
happy hunting grounds.

Does the sdvertiseing of . town
pay is the question that will not be
asked BY people acquainted With
certain towns, particularly some in
Western Kansaa, that to-day would
have been villages only for the
pernstant advertising they have had
until nov they are cities. 1t is the
belief of men we'll informed and who
have had experience in starting and
building up towns that city can be
made out Of any spot in America or
the world, for that matter, where
enough money can be spen, to es-
tablish papers and keep them pub
lishing the Advantages of the coun-
try and the location of the city.
1t takes schemers to PlAH a town its
organization and get it started, when
they in = measure become helpless
and step aside for the newspapers to
take up the work where they left of,
and these men, one and all, will ad-
init that ., this age of the world q
respectable sized town can not be
built without the aid of newspaper.
This is so generally conceded that 8
new town is hardly surveyed until
the projectors are looking around
for . printing ONCE. In the wes, :
printing ofice is one of the first
business to open in . town 1t is
their business to speak of every
thing favorable ,hA; can be men,
toned of the place, never firing or
cessing to do everything in their
power to advance the locality, and
in reality make . town, make men,
make wealth, and too often receive
but little reward themselves.

An order has been sent out by the
Acting Commissioner of the General
Land Office, s. n. Stockslsger, to
the registers and receivers of gov
ernment land Offices, to notify the
general land Office of all lawyers
and land attorneys or agents in their
districts who use the deceptive sign
of United States land Office, a. .
sign for their Office or place of busi-
ness, with the view say the instruc-
tions of debarring all such agents
from practice in the general or local
land offices. The sion U. S. Land
Office is very common on land agents
Offices. and is meant TO convey the
idea that the agents so advertising
were making = specially of business
before the government land Office.
The sign no doubt has misled many
and the order will be recognised As
a good one.

Many causes have operated to re-
strict the activities Of the emanclpated
negro within narrow range. But
the limits, in many cases, are sel-iin-
posed. Let the negro develop a
capacity and desire for mechanical

take up his cause. Especially is 1t
true that at the south his future lies
in his own hands. In the marvellous
industrial development now going

adopt them.

Old Professor Stewart, who used
to live IN this State, had good deal
of hard sense in his head. When
the Central Pacific railroad was built,
Stewart said California would have
no more great earthquakes, but that
the East would have cyclones. His
prediction was based upon theories
of electrical action by means of the
iron railroad track. The East has
had and is having its cyclones, ac-
cording to promise, and the addition
of other iron conductors between
California and the Eastern States
seem to have drained us of even the
remnants of our earthquake material
for the Eastern market. - Tuscarora
