The Way To Make sIoney by Farming the
Delicious Croaker
Any man who has . pond on his farm
can try the experiment Of raising his own
frogs. First, lot him buy, say, six pairs
of fine New jersey breeders and dump
them into the water. With these for a
starter you may select u quantity Of do
nestle bactracean, and then you will have
the nucleus of q fortune. Don interfere
with your water investment for a year
any more than to keep your growing
stock well supplied with food. They re-
quire an abundance, but as they are not
very dainty in their taste the expense ac-
count will be light. For q young farm
two barrels a day % hotel scraps will
keep the frogs in splendid shape, so that
at the Il Of twelve months you can be-
gin marketing all you can fish out at the
same price as spring chickens. Give me
the time, and will wager that the end Of
two years / viii be living on an income
Of 5000, and Ey frogs Will pay all ex-
penses.-St- Louis Globe Democrat.

1t is asserted now that some Of
Capt Norton's friends are acting IN
discreetly in thinking to strengthen
the Captains candidacy for Secretary
of State by working against R. M.
Picker for Lieut.. Governor. The
HERALD is friendly to both these
gentlemen, and hopes that the report
alluded to is unfounded- No sub
stantiaI good can be accomplished
for Norton by making warfare on
Picker and vica versa. A fight
waged by the friends OF either can
didate against the other would very
probably result in the defeat Of both.
Let each stand on his own merits and
northwest Kansas work harmoniously
together.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Ed HERALD: Your correspondent
''Ped'' thinks we ought to be repre-
scented in our next Legislature We
think so to, in the northwest part Of
Phillips county. Two years have
passed and the eastern part Of Kan
sas hardly knew that there is a Phil
lips county, by the representative we
have had. We do want some one
that under stands the wants of the
farmer So we say where can we find
the man better known and who knows
the wants aud needs Of Phillips cOun-
ty than Dan L. Smith. He would
get votes from all parties, so we say
quill drivers send up your tickets.
Dan is not seeking the Office, he has
a farm and grist mill to look after,
but if nominated squarely, viii

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION,

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION,
The HERALD goes to press too early
to give any extended account Of the
Great Republican National COnven-
ton that convened In Chicago last
Tuesday. At this writing we have
been unable to get any news other
than what is contained in the daily
papers of yesterday. The National
Committee selected Ex-Judge John
NJ Thurston, of Omaha Nebraska, to
be temporary Chairman, and Mr. NJ
M. Estee, of California, Permanent
Chairman. Chairman Jones, of the
committee, called the monster con
vention to order and made few re-
marks when he introduced Judge
Thurston. There are 5000 people in
the hall General Fremont, who is
now so years old, occupies a seat on
the platform and is highly hOnOred.
The great colored man, Fred Doug
lass, sets beside Fremont and attracks
great attention. The convention was
opened by prayer by Rev. T. w
Gonzalus, of the congregational
church. Temporary Chairman Thurs
ton on taking the chair made a some
what lengthy speech and was heartily
applauded. A resolution Of sym
pathy for Gen. Phil Sheridan was
offered and was adopted by a unan
imous rising vote. At this point Gen
Fremont was presented and made {
few appropriate remarks. FREQ

There was a story in circulation in
ST. Louis at the time the convention
was held, to the effect that Mrs.
Grover Cleveland had some time ago,
talked to a lawyer about applying for
a divorce from her husband, alleging
that he was frequently intoxicated
and treated her cruelty. This story
was in printed circulars distributed
among democratic delegates by dem
ocrats. Therefore democrats cannot
censure republicans for starting the
report.

@. NJ MCGUIRE ESQ.
Dear Sir : I have a little more news
to write you. We intended to take
DR.. White to the penitentiary this
morning. But last night, or rather
early this morning, he attempted to
kill himself. He thrust a little pen
knife in his neck four times and then
in his side just below the heart once.
and into his abdomen four times.
We thought he could not live as he
was suffering fearfully and could not
speak this morning. But he has i'm
proved His knife was not long
enough to reach the bowels and he
missed his jugular vein in his neck.
So I think by the last Of next week
he viii be in shape to go to the peni-
tentary. D. w. SIMPSON.
