Col. A. De Graft, as the executor of
the late Charles A. De Graft proposes TO
sell at private sale the Lake Elysian
farm, with all the stock. This is the
farm upon which the late G. A. DE
Graft bestowed so much time and atten-
ton. 1t consists of 2,S40 acres of fine
farming land, and is located on the east
ern fringe of what is known as the big
Woods of Minnesota" The whole tract
is under high state of cultivation, in
closed in various pasture fields and lots,
with commodious barns, stables and
sheds, conveniently arranged and dis
tributed throughout the premises. The
village of GAINESVILLE, Mimi, on the
Chicago & Northwestern road, bounds
the estate on the north, and a
highway running directly south
from the station passes throughit The
soil, in grass and grain producing quail
itv, cannot be eXcelled anywhere In the
West. The beautiful Lake ElySlan,
from which the place takes its name,
lies Immediately north of the farm, and
its outlet flows directly through it for
distance of about three miles, affOrding
an abundant supply of the pureSt water.
The late c. A. DeGraff, experimental
good deal on this farm, ana at laSC
seeded large portion of it with blue
grass. The stock consists of about 80
head of cattle, most of them pedigreed
ShOrthorn of the most notable strains;
lbs head of trOtting bred horses; fine
herd of Southdown sheep; Berkshire
swine, and few West bred
Jerseys. There is park of sixty
acres stocked with elk, most of them
having been bred on the estate. The
improvements and natural advantages,
together with location, combine to make
this one of the most desirable and
profitable farms for gentleman de-
sirous of carrying on the business of
stock breeding upon large scale to be
found anywhere. 1t is understood that
Col. De Graft will sell the land in an
entirety to single purchaser, or it will
be divided up into three or more farms,
as may be deemed desirable. The live
stock will be sold in quantities to suit

Interesting group of stock belonging to
Woodburn farm, KY. The old gray

grays, that are sisters to Maud ), and
another, a chestnut, sister to Nut

Maud S has colt foal and the other
missed. The others all have filly foals
at their side by ElectiOneer, and there
is also a yearling tilly. by Electioneer,
out of one of the sisters to Maud s. All
the Youngsters are bay. Each of the
mares is again safely in foal BY Elec-
tiOneer.
"The group are about TO be shipped
TO Kentucky, and no horseman in the
country will fail to wish them safe
tourney, for when one considers the
class of breeding represented in this
transcontinental venture, the prospect
i've results are of grave interest to all.
Electioneer has not been in public serv-
ice for some years, but the visit of these
mares to California is the carrying out
of a measure so pregnant in probabili-
ties that it was one of those things that
ought to be. The owner of Palo Alto saw
this and opened the door to WOODBURY..
What he would not sell he would
give in such a cause. Fortune has
smiled brightly on the undertaking.
The only disappointment has been in
the sex of most of the fOalS thus far
dropped. for Woodburn might wisely
place a scion of Electioneer upon her
sallion roll. Let US hope that among
the foals to come in 1885, the desired OBJ
ject will be achieved, and the possibili-
ties to follow CalifOrnia's gift to Ken
lucky be extended to the widest limit"

Mr.. Garrtson'a speech.

Mr.. VIM. Garrison, of Sharon, spoke
to a good crowd at the Tariff Reform
club in this city, Monday evening, and
he was given close attention by an in
telligent and thinking audience. Of
course the Republican candidates and
leaders were not there, for just now
they are wanting to hear a discussion
on any other subject rather than the
tariff. And then another reason: Mr..
Garrison is more advanced In modern
politics than the average Barber coun-
ty Republican. On several occasions,
in this city, he has publicly stated that
when he laid down his arms, after fight
ing four years for the Union, it was
with the understanding that the objects
of the war had been accomplished, with
prayer that the two sections, north
and south, might be united in bonds OF
peace and brotherly love. 1t was the
knowledge of his views on the war is
sue that kept ranting Republicans from
hearing him on Monday night. But he
made a speech that every loyal citizen
might have profitably listened to. He
explained that he belonged to a party
that spoke in no uncertain sound on
the subject of tariff reform, for in its
platform it had declared for the free
entry of all articles of necessity and OF
raw materials. He explained how, for
long time he had intently listened for
ono xrOrd Of cOro fO,-t Fror,, &ho ,ot;o.o
conventions of his old party, and how
after the Chicago affair he had given up
all hope OF relief to the bqrdened far.
mers OF the West at the hands of the
Republicans. He quoted from John
Quincy Adams, Wendell Phillips, VIM.
Lloyd Garrison, Abraham Lincoln, Jas
A. Garfield, Emory Storrs, General
Grant and other leading Republican
lights to show that at one time the lead.
ers recognized the Importance of re-
ductiOn OF the war tariff. He scored z
point by showing that the high tariff
was at first war measure, and that the
masses were long induced to bear its
burden after the mission was performed
because they were asked to do il Ira the
name Of loyalty. He showed the falla
cy OF unnecessary taxation in any
shape and cisssed high protection as q
leech drawing the life blood from tho
people. He spoke for one hour and {
half and when he closed he was ap
plauded loud and long and half of tn,
audience went forward ana congratu
lated him on his magnificent effort.

About O'Clock the procession start

About O'Clock the procession start
ed, and each float was very much adj
mired, and they well deserved the CON-
plimentary remarks heard on all sides.
They were all much finer and prettier
than l expected to see. There was
only one ''small boy'' connected with
the parade. He represented Cupid. OF
course, the ''small boy" is not happy
unless he gets things into a mess.
This kid set his float on fire and it was
totally destroyed. The boy escaped, of
course.
The exposition is growing better
every day, and the crowds in attendance
are growing larger. The art display is
magnificent; the collection of machinery
fine, and the display of agricultural pro-
ducts tOlerably good. Kansas is better
represented than any other state. and
she has nothing to brag about. But
corn, wheat, oats, ETC., don't show up
like displays of dry goods and furniture,
or machinery, or pictures. The music,
by Liberatl's band of fifty pieces, is
very fine, and many go every day SIM
ply to hear the music. Of the fifty in
struments, twenty-five are flutes, clario-
nettes, or some modification of the
flute. lSeveral of them are new to me,
and have seen no one who could name
them.
Base ball holds its own against all
other attractions, and the games are
always well attended. The ''Star" and
the Times" mines will play to-day for
the yellow fever fund. There will be a
big crowd. The game will be a weak
one. as the boys are not accustomed to
bats larger than lead pencils. A pro-
fessional pitcher would knock the bat
out of their hands if he could only hit
1t. But there will be lots of fun, and
the jeers and jibes of the hoodlums will
be very amusing. There will be Is UNI
pires, each of whom pay $40 for the
privilege of umpiring one inning. 1t
takes two at an inning-one on balls
and one on bases.
The city is growing steadily. The
cables are doing more for the city than
any other agency. Elegant flats are be-
ing erected in the extreme outskirts of
town. Many fats are vacant, but the
prices are held up. Five rooms rent
for about $40 permonth. This is high
er than small houses.
This congressional district is now
represented by Republican, but it will
surely return Democrat next time.
The Republicans are discouraged. They
see their doom. We will carry Indiana
and California sure, and probably
Michigan. Illinois will elect Demo
cratic governor. Ihope Kansas will do
the same. VIC. M.

Hon. W. II. Carter, of Coldwater,
Democratic candidate for state senator
In this district, is making tour through
Barber county this week, and we are
happy to say that he is making friends
wherever he goes. Mr.. Carter is alive
to the Importance of reform in legisla-
ton, reform in taxation and reform In
tariff duties, and he is sound on the great
questions of the day. As legislator in
Missouri, we personally know that he
was instrumental in securing laws
governing the shipment of live stock;
that he was the author of bill to break
down the great school book combine,
and that he was the leader of the house
on all matters of retrenchment and re-
form. 1t is safe to say that if he were
elected senator from this district that
his every vote would be cast in the in
terest of the people. AS a politician
Mr.. Carter bears clear record; as a
model Christian gentlemen he has no
superior. We commend him to every
good citizen of Barber county and ask
every one who can to make his acquain-
lance. You will undoubtedly like him
whether you vote for hun or not.

EDITOR INDEX: Last week was
called carnival week." and think the
week before should also have been rat
ed as an amusement week. For the
past two weeks the city has been full Of
visitors, and every place of amusement
has been unusually well patronized.
The fair and horse-races did not carry
off the crowds from the city. Now the
amusements are over, and the city is
gradually assuming its normal condi-
ton. The trades display called out
thousands of people; and it was then
predicted that the Priests Of Pallas
would call out an unprecedented
thrrng. Friday evening there was a
slight sprinkle of rain and the process
sion was postponed. Thousands OF peo-
pie were on the streets to see the parade
and they were Disguised when they
found it put of. But Saturday was
clear and bright and the night was
pleasant. Att o'clock it was almost
impossible to pass along the streets
where the parade was TO take place and
the crowd was getting denser all the
time.

NuIsances.

There are number of people in this
town, generally young men, who insist
OH leaving the room about fifteen min
utes after a speaker has commenced,
much to the disgust of the audience
and the annoyance Of the speaker.
They listen to Democrat. Republican
or Union Labor speaker with the same
attentions; but they won't listen to any
one long. And why they go to a pub
lie gathering no one can explain. In
most civilized countries it is considered
the height of i'll breeding to leave the
room during a sermon, lecture or
speech. Men can usually tell whether
they will be interested in subject be-
fore going into the hall. If they think
they will not be pleased, they should
not go in. This season, we have seen
men leave the room in pairs and by
threes and tours before the speaker had
fairly commenced. The idea always
suggests itself to those who want to
hear the talk that those fellows who
go out have not enough intellect to di-
gest more than a five minutes argu-
ment. So boys and men, if you 90 to a
public speaking stick 1t out il it kills
you; you don't have to go, in the FIRST
place, you understand. 1t is rude, i'm
polite and disgusting to pull out and
disturb the speaker and the audience.
