Larry LIE Bron thinks he has span
of as good pullers as travel the road. It
has been several days since he told us OF
their crossing the swollen Saline, on the
way to Hastings, Graham county, with q
big load of lumber, but the vision haunts
our memory still. It ran something like
this: The team is of medium size; the
river was uproariously high; the river bed
was in the shape of an:old-time log era
die; in crossing it the team 8, am; the
lumber was piled high above the top of
the wagon bed, but when the middle of
the stream was reached the water came
uncomfortably near to the top of the pile;
the team was stopped before the ascent
of the opposite bank of the stream was
begun; Larry covered!with sand the road
along the ascent; then the team fairly
threw their bodies to the ground as they
yanked the load to the top of the hill. So
heavy an extra load in the way of water
was taken on in the river that the pile of
lumber continued to exude the liquid lib
orally for the space of a full mile or more.

FINISHED TO CHICAGO.
The Santa Fe Running its Own
Trains from Kansas to Chicago.

The Chicago, Santa Fe & California
Railway, being the Chicago extension of
the Atchison road, is completed to Chicago.
and commences on Sunday, April 18th, to
run through trains from Kansas City,
Topeka, Atchison and st. Joseph to that
city. The trains of the new line will be
of the Vestibule pattern, of which 90
much has been said in the East, and will
give the people of the West an opportunity
to dip in and enjoy this much Wanted
luxury. The idea Of popularizing the line
with travellers has induced the Santa Fe
to make notable innovation connected
with its Vestibule Trains: no extra charge
will be made. All eastern lines charge
extra for the additional accommodation.
Our people attending the Republican
Convention in June will have chance to
test the new line.

TUESDAYS SESSION.
THE COUNTY COMMISSION
ERS FIRE
The First Gun for the Laying
OF the Corner Stone Of the Court
House.
Every Citizen Of the County Wanted
in Wa-Keeney That Day.
A Basket Picnic to Be q Feature.

O00NSO
The board Of county commissioner
was in session on Tuesday. The bills o
Contractors Barrett and Pinkham for tn
month of April were arranged.
The understanding is that the Masonic
order of this city will conduct the laying
of the corner stone Of the court house
The event will occur somewhere between
the 20 and the 81 of the present month
In the case of the Masons taking hold o1
this duty, neighboring lodges OF that
order will be invited to be present, and
speaker or speakers from abroad will be
secured.
II the corner-laying ceremonies are un'
dertaken on this plan-ani we approve
of it unreservedly-some money in ssAAe
way Of contributions will be required
We hope our citizens will grasp the true
spirit Of the occasion, and assist in rails.
ing the necessary fund.
Our commissioners, like the most OF u.s.
are matter-of.fact men, who would take
more pleasure in seeing the fathers and
mothers, husbands and wives, brothers
and sisters, sons and daughters, unclee
and aunts, sweethearts OF both sexes
cousins up to the forty-third degree and
everybody else in Trego county have q
good time on the occasion of the laying
of this county court house corner stone
than to see q select few parading in
broadcloth, swords and tinsel. The COM
missioners, in other words, desire that q
basket picnic be q feature Of the corner
stone day; and they hope that no citizen
of the county will fail to be present, and
respond to this sentiment. This can be
made grand affair, indeed. We believe
it will be made such.
w. S. Tilton and Geo. Pinkham have
been detailed by the board to write an
epitome of the history of Trego county,
to be deposited in the box within the
corner stone.
MASS MEETING.
The commissioners, in order to have
the proper committees appointed, and the
work of preparation for this grand event
placed under proper Roadway, have called
a meeting of the citizens of Trego county
at Opera Hall, Wa-Keeney, Saturday,
May IL, at 2 o'clock P. NJ. The ladies are
invited to this meeting. Men
are united in favor of women's rights on
occasions like this. They are even will
ling to go to the extent of thinking that
if those rights are not exercised, the sue
cess of the schemeswill be extremely linn
tied.
