Our City School Superintendent.

From the Russell Journal of the 4th
inst we get the following compliment
ary notice of the work of Prof. VIM.
Reese, in that county:
':The session of the Russell county
normal institute which closed last week
was one of the most successful ever
held in the county. The instructors
were the best that could be secured.
Profs. Bickerdyke and Parke were well
known and good work was expected
of them. Prof. Reese was stranger
to most of the teachers, but a month IS
association with him proved the wis
dom of the county superintendent in
securing him as one of the instructors.
He gave several interesting lectures
during his stay in the county and made
hosts of friends. Prof. Reese closed
his labors with the Institute Thursday
and before adjourning the Institute
passed the following resolution:
'sResolued; That we, the members of
the Russell County Institute assembled
do extend our heartfelt thanks to Prof.
Reese for his great interest in the In
stitute and for his efforts in behalf of
the teachers, as well as the skill he
has shown in conducting recitations.' u

Antitrust and Monopoly Convention.


There will be mass convention at
Great Bend, on Saturday, Sept. 28th,
1889, at 2 p. m. of men OF all political
parties who have become tired of hav-
ing laws passed in favor of the few at
the expense Of the many; of men who
know that the wealth producer is as
good as the wealth gatherer; of men who
have become tired of fattening beef and
pork for few cents per pound to get
few dollars to pay interest and taxes,
at the same time living on the
husks while the other man eats the
meat; of men who have become tired of
ginivg one third of all they raise to the
rail road to haul the other two thirds
to market; who believe that all men
are born free and equal; of men who
believe that no man can become a
millionaire in a lifetime unless he
steals it from the men who produce it.
This convention is called to put in
nomination candidates for sheriff,
clerk, register of deeds, coroner, and
commissioner for the third district.
Let every one turn ont who believes
that corruption in high places makes
slaves of the many. Come out all who
believe in protecting their homes and
families. Turn out and show to the
world your manhood, and that you can
neither be bought or sold. Speak out
boldly for yourselves, your families,
your God and your country.

The Mem Who "Get There"

It is stated by high agricultural
authority that the average product of
Kansas farms this season will represent
a money value of S13 to the acre. The
average yield of wheat to the acre will
not fall below twenty i've bushels. At
so cents bushel, which is certainly a
low estimate, the value to the acre
would be $3.50. Assuming that corn
will yield an average of fifty bushels
and that it would bring 20 cents, the
value to the acre would be $40. Oats
will yield in Kansas eighty bushels to
the acre and Will bring at least Is cents
bushel making $500 to the acre.
These estimates, both as to yield and
price, are liable to fall below rather
thar exceed the true figures, so that
the claim of sn average product of S1a
to the acre is not far from correct. Al
any time within the past two years
many of the farms which have made
that much money this season for theil
owners, could have been purchased fol
S13 cash per acre. It is the man who
stays by Kansas through wet and dry
who gets there. dodge City Times.

NOW Is THE TINE.

We have read somewhere the legend
of one who, day-dreaming in his easy
chair, beheld vision which stood be-
fore him, a lovely form with winning
mein, who stood before him and
beckoned him to follow her to fortune.
He waited, pondered. needed not her
call, until at last she grew weary and
disappeared. Just as the vision faded
he sprang to his feet and cried out:
''Tel me, pray, who thou art?" And
the answer came: 81 am Opportunity;
once Neglected, never more return -
TO the weary tOiler of the over
crowded east; the man who has dug
and delved for half a lifetime on a
small plat of sterile soil and eked a
meager livlihood; who has spent his
days of vigOr in accumulating a few
hundred dollars to provide for his
declining days; to all such men we
say, if "Opportunity" has never before
appeared to you, she is before you now
Kansas has proven herself superior
to adversity. She has been tried in the
fire of drouth and the pestilence of
insects, and comes out brighter and
fairer and fuller of promise year by
year. Thousands of hardy men are
to-day rejoicing that they staked their
little mite on Kansas soil, and have
won. Figures will not lie, and the
Kansas crop statistics for 1889 will
show that in this one year she has
raised sufficient wheat and corn to pay
every cent of her mortgaged indebted
ness and bread her people for another
year.
In this particular part of Kansas, in
Barton county, there are thousands of
acres of productive lands that need the
attention of industrious men, and they
are the 'Opportunity'' which appears
before you. No drones are wanted.
No Shiftless mortals who drift from
place ITO place, neither reaping good
nor doing it, are welcome in Kansas;
but bright, earnest, and ambitious men,
who are willing to assist old mother
earth, can win good homes amidst a
people of enterprise, culture and refine
ment.
Men with few hundred dollars can
at all times find dissatisfied, weak
kneed, or rowing mortals, who care
not to stay more than few years in a
place, willing to dispose of their equity
in the best lands on the green earth.
Young men embrace this 'Opportu-
nity," she is as good as she is fair.

WE SIT in our den at midnight,
while the clock is ticking away, and we
think of the cash subscriber who had
wandered in to-day. We ponder DER
all the good things that dollar N half
will buy, and the joy that these thoughts
bring to us gushes forth from our pale
blue eye. How often, oh, how often, in
the days that are to come, do we wish
for the cash subscribers to hustle them
selves and come! How often, oh, how
often, as the weeks go moseying past.
would we pray If we only knew how
to that this leash down" business
would last. But alas! our heart is
weary, likewise our skie-blue eyes; for
few and far between meals. comes to
us such glad surprise. Yes, we sit in
our den at midnight, and scratch with
our stubby pen, and long for the cash
subscriber to wander in again; and we
think mayhap some delinquent may
want to witness sOur smile, and will
straggle in on the morrow and swell
our little pile.

A Tramp,s Perception.

The tramp is generally an observing
fellow; and he sometimes possesses one
of those very useful parts of physical
organism called a heart. The other
evening as we were vending our zig
gag way to the Office, after filling up on
watermelon and hopes of business
prosperity, dirty vagabOnd of the
genus hobo accosted us as follows:
''Say, mister, I'm hunting for job
in this town, and my shoes and pants
are so badly used up I'm not. sufficient
ly presentable to make the right sort of
an impression to secure the kind of a
position my qualifications and tastes
render it proper for me to fill. If you
could piece me out with "a pair of dis
carded shoes and some pants that are
not too well ventilated, would be in
finitely obliged, and when get a posi-
tion of trust and profit would pay you
for them.'
We thought he had approached US as
a gentleman and we answered him cam
didly, telling him that the only panta-
looms and shoes we had legal right
and title to, were the ones that encased
our gothic limbs. The tramp here ex-
hibited his forensic abilities by observ-
ing that we "Must be a newspaper
editor" Upon our modestly asserting.
he regretfully remarked:
"Then, mister, I'm sorry l detained
you. for have nothing to give you, not
even an item. But assure you, yOn
have my heartfelt sympathy"

THE result of the republican conven-
tion of last Saturday was no surprise
to Great Bend people, as the portly
managers had it all fixed that way weeks
ago. We have at this time no criticism
to make of the ticket. The gentlemen
named are most all pretty well known
in the county. We believe, however,
there Is none of them as well qualified
for the Office to which they aspire as
the gentlemen who have served you
the last two years, and who are candi-
dates for nomination before the conven-
ti0n the coming Saturday. We hope
respectable one, and that neither party
will resort to mud-slinging.
