A new prophet. who don't know any
more about it than the rest of us. makes
the following predictions for 1889. ives

crops than eastern Kansas, and also be
visited bv more violent wind storms.
TOrnados will visit the Republican, Solo
mon. Kansas and Arkansas rivers with
much violence during the months of May
June and July. st. Joseph, Atchison,
Leavenworth and Kansas City will get
unpleasant cuts from these storms. Re-
CARELESS of these storms western Kansas
farmers will rejoice in year of plenty"
The Colby branch of the q. P. is being
surveyed through this county. and will
probably pass through the southern part
and swing north near the Colorado line
ives of Jaqua Dirt will be thrown on
some branch of the B & NJ. near here
this winter. and there is every reason to
believe that this means an extension of
the Beaver Valley Branch to Pueblo.
The contract for this work has been let.
Although the exact point is as yet un-
known to the public. the theory that they
will try to head off the U. P. seems to be
plausible. City Democrat.

Charles Elmo Adolf. one of Colby's
best citizens. and q boy who has more
friends in Hoxie than anyone else, was
in the city Sunday and doing the white
act to the boys. Charlie says this is
bad year for the dem ocrats. but that the
future has bright things in store for
them. He was looking after his real es-
tate in this county. of which he has $40
acres. and from which he has never real
lied one cent, although there has been q
crop raised on the cultivated ground for
the past three years. Charlie says that
he is now going to rent it for a cash rent
pay able in advance, or better yet he may
run it himself in connection with the
rubber stamp business if the wind should
blow cold for democrats in the newspa-

1t is the proper thing now for the good
honest people who were carried away by
the Union Labor craze to come back into
the republican party where no such fool
ish promises are held cut. and where ev-
cry man is taught that he must work if
he would win. The government could
just as well hand out bread and meat and
potatoes to all its citizens IS it could the
mGney with which to buy such things.
But it cannot do it. There is no easy
way of making living since the bless
ing of eating bread in the sweat OF his
face was pronounced on Adam Good
honest labor and not theorizing win win
. man his dinner. Come beck, stop
grumbling. thank God for what You have
cheer up and do your part well and your
gloom will change to brightness and you
win realize that il il noble to live in .
