Masquerade Party.

Notwithstanding the muddy roads and
tie darkness of the night, at half past sew
en- clock, on the oyen.ag of the lst day
of Jannary, 1886, over one hundred guests
were assembled AT the residence of Mr.. ia
cob Rickerbach, il Mexico, in response
dance, to be held in the Rickeubach man-
sion, on the evening Of the first day of the
New Year. Promptly at s o'clock the Ia
dies and gentlemen, each, repaired to their
respective roorns, and masked or disguised
themselves. The masqueradcrs were ell
dressed alike, namely: a white sheet wrap
ped loosely round the body from the shout
ders to the feet, white cloth with eye and
mouth holes tied over the face, and apillow
case for a head covering. The masquerad-
ers presented ghost-like appearance when
they descended the stairs to the large par
Ior, from the floor OF which, the carpet had
been taken. preparatory to dancing, but the
sounds emitted from under the snow-like
coverings did not remind one of visitors
from 9nOtntr "Orlu, iHe euPpEosscu ia"6hi
er and giggIins of the girls soon put to rest
all thoughts of ghosts, and the gentlemen
were soon trying to procure ladies as part
ners for the grand march, which was no
easy matter, for all being dressed alike and
the hands being concealed, it was next to
impossible to tell a lady from a gentleman,
and the writer soon found himself dancing
with one of his own sex. instead OF with a
a lady as he desired, but the mistake was
general one. was soon learned. After n
short time the masks were removed and
dancing commenced in the parlor and was
continued until refreshments were served.
The refreshments were fine and nicely serv-
cd. and Mr.. and Mrs Rickenbach may
pride themselves for having the ability TO
. get up such fine refreshments and to be
able TO choose so able and efficient walters
as they had on the occasion. After re-
fresbments had been served TO ali and the
room had been cleared, the dancing was
resumed and kept up until very late hour
when the guests dispersed TO their homes
throughout the county, all feeling that Mr..
and Mrs. Rickenbach know how TO get up
a party where tho guests enjoy themselves.

E Read the advertisement Of the Road
tar Levy in another column recently made by
the Commissioners.-SigHdl.
We suppose the above refers to the list of
road tax levies in the different townships pub
lished last week BY Auditor Evers, as the law
directs him to do. The Signal either willful-
ly misrepresents the facts when it says the
county commissioners made the road levies,
or it is ignorant of the way the lsTies are
made. The county commissioners have moth
ing to do with the lsyies in question as pub
lished by the Auditor; they are made by the
Trustees of the different townships and re-
ported to the auditor, who includes them in
the total levy for each township, and the
amount is paid in the December collection of
tax. Our county commissioners have enough
to carry without shouldering upon them the
township road levies, and Bro. Fouke should
hasten to correct his misstatements, in Justice
to the commissioners, his readers and him
self.

Kansas letter.
HARPER, KAN, july 8

HARPER, KAN, July 2, 1885.
If more magnificent weather prevails any
where in the United States including Alaska
and the Alutian Islands, than we have here
in Southern Kansas at the present writing,
should like to find the place, for should be
sure that the place was found where the first
great horticulturist and his wife set up in
business and made such lamentable failure,
and then, concluding that there was not
much demand for fruit for lack of sweeten-
ening, went into the sugar business, and, Of
course, began by raising Cain, after which
they were able to succeed much better.
Judging from the kind of weather we have
had for the past month, that historic and in.
teresting place can be located right here in
Southern Kansas, and is to be reached by
taking the Southern Kansas Railroad from
Kansas City.
To come down to facts, of which the above
is intended for an illustration, we have been
having the most pleasant June weather this
year I have ever experienced here or any
where else. 1t has been warm enough for the
growth of crops, and seldom too warm, that
is, we have missed the scorching heat we had
last month. Rains have been abundant and
so distributed as to do the greatest good.
very good indeed; oats will be fair crop
and was rather light, owing to the dry wealth
er in April and the first week in May. 1t is
probable that we will have hot weather
enough this month and next, though, to
make up for it.
Kansas is having very heavy migration
this summer, and it is, for the most part, 60
ing west of the central part of the State.
The rapid growth of these Western cities is
something wonderful, and cannot be realized
by the people East. A few instances will best
illustrate. To begin with, Harper is only s
years old-has nearly four thousand people,
does heavy business, has two daily papers,
two weeklies, and is figuring on an another
daily. Has a city building worth ten thous-
and dollars, thirty-two thousand dollar
opera house, is just completing seven
thousand dollar church building, and will
put in water works this summer.
Anthony has much the same history, with
the addition of one of the best school build
ings in the State, and that their church was
dedicated June Goth.
Attica is only two years old, but has weekly
papers, one or two banks, a fine four room
school building and some fifteen hundred
people.
Kiowa is but one year old, has five brick
blocks and business rooms, one paper and
about twelve hundred inhabitants.
told what Hutchinson was last summer,
and will only add thereto, that since was
there in July last year, that Hutchinson has
doubled in population.
Garden City, when Twas there last July,
claimed fifteen hundred people-now has six
or seven thousand. might go on and give
a long list of similar cases, but those given
above will suffice. And what is more re-
markable the development of the country is
keeping pace with that of the cities and
towns. Where to-day you will see but the
boundless prairies, tomorrow you will see a
sod house and few acres of broken ground.
More and more follow until no ''claims" are

Why the Wool Tariff of 1867 was not
- Restored.

The House Committee on Ways and
Means in their report to the House give as
reasons for not restoring the wool tariff of
1867, that .-i........
"The duty upon the imported wool is prov
ed by testimony derived from both argu-
ment and experience to be injurious to all
classes and beneficial to none. 1t drives
from our markets many kinds of wool not
raised here but indispensable to the success
full manufacture of wooden goods. 1t gives
the European manufacturer the exclusive use
of these woods, and therefore a monopoly
made of them and consequently of the mar
kets of the world. 1t confines American
manufacturers to a restricted choice of
materials and also to the production of a
limited class of goods with which the home
market is periodically glutted. 1t makes it
impossible for our manufacturers to export
woolen goods and by confning them to the
home market leads to ruinons fluctuations in
prices, resulting in frequent closing of
mills and their sales at disastrous sacrifices.
II cripples the only customers of our wool
growers so seriously that the market for wool
is periodically in an unhealthy condition. It
prevents the home manufacturer from buy
ing the foreign woods which could be used in
mixture with American woods, which lessons
the demand for American wools instead of
increasing it as intended. It gives the Euro
pean manufacturer control of all foreign
woods.
1t has furnished good excuse for heaping
heavy taxes upon the clothing of the people
and it has taken from the wool grower an
amount far exceeding any benefit which he
might have imagined he would derive from
the tariff, without giving him that imagined
benefit. It has reduced the wages of the
workingmen in the woolen manufacture; it
has ruined investors who were enticed into
this manufacture by the delusiye promise of
a high tariff; it has greatly hindered our
trade with our natural customers in South
America; it has made clothing dearer in
America and cheaper in Europe; it has injur-
ed all classes and helped none. Er1
The committee therefore recommended
that the resolution lie on the table but that
the prayer of the textile workers in Philadel-
phia should be granted, that the duties on
wool should be repealed and the duties on
woolen manufactures reduced to at least an
equal extent"
