like her, patiently wait for the dawn
Of better days.
We passed a few moments in such

again alone, I wandered around to
see the exhibits, most Of which were

ened to her horn, and upon it I read,
with establishment, Fourteen pounds
of butter per week.
Why! when I owned her I did not
think Of making butter. I thought
that if she gave milk enough for my
bachelors breakfast and supper of
mush and milk that was all she was
good for, and that she must be
very good to do that. But here she
was exhibited for a dairy COW, and
doubtless there were others for the
same use in the herd.
Dairying in Kansas! Here, In
deed, was a new development of
the grazing industry, and I resolved
to study upon 1t.
Giving her a parting slap, I passed
on, until my steps led to the AgricuI-

ing a stranger, and unnoticed, I sat
down upon a sack of wheat, in a
corner, near a great pile of vege-
tables, of almost every variety, and
leaned back against a shock Of IN
husked corn.
From this comfortable position L
noted the grand display of agricul-
tural exhibits In the hall
There were rows Of corn-in- the-ear
piled upon benches; sacks Of shelled
corn, wheat, oats, rye, beans, peas,
etc, while apples, pears, peaches,
grapes and other fruits were display
ed IN such profusion that I could
have easily immagined myself in the
tropics, which I might have done

drawn to tag that had dropped
from the shock of corn, against
which Z was leaning, and now lay
with its gIaring red letters before me.

Whyl he is only potato that has

this place"
AT tins, a handsome peach began
to blush with modification at being
exhibited with such low things as 20
tatoes, while a luscious bunch OF
grapes nearly shook herself in pieces
with laughter, at the remarks about
her.
Let US hear what the potato has to

nent in the vegetable kingdom that
all the others were jealous, as he
gracefully waved his hand.

squash echoed his approval

ed, and listen; for the potato has
eyes, therefore he can see better than
we, and perhaps knows more than we
think"
so say we all, " ehimed in the 9th
er fruits, vegetables and grains.
CAT this the potato looked wiser
than ever, and rolling up to the edge
of the basket, began, in declamatory
tones:
1--WE are here on exhibition. Our
master, Farmer Grow, brought us
here to show people how well he has
cared for US, and how successful he
has been in raising US; and, con6den-
TALLY, heard the judges say, a few
moments ago. that he would get first

less they are something valuable.

who seemed to come from other
States and counties, as we'll as from
other parts of this county, comment

ordering sead from our different
families. L belive a great future is
dawning upon the branches Of our
kingdom in Kansas, while here in
Phillips county will be located a seat
for the royal assemblage OF our fami-
lies each year, to exhibit our rapid
development to those who visit the
Phillips county fair, if we viii only
work together, and none try to be
chief; for if we try to develope one
branch Of our kingdom more than
another and that branch fails from
any cause, It will take several seasons
to rally; so let US join our efforts TO
develope agriculture in Kansas

JoHNsTowN, June IA meeting Of the
Town Council of Johnstown will be held to-
morrow afternoon for the purpose of consider
ing the matter of the military authorities erect
ing temporary houses and places of business
for the merchants of the place who desire to
resume business. Adjutant-General Hastings
wishes to erect the buildings in the public
squares of the town, and it will be necessary to
obtain the consent of the Council to do so
After the meeting a conference of the Building
Committee will be held, and it will then be
decided what kind of buildings to put up.
A meeting of the Building Committee was
held this afternoon for the purpose of consid-
ering the situation, and if possible, deVising
ways and means of erecting temporary houses.
There were two propositions suggested-one 10
erect number OF buildings on tne pupho
square belonging to the borough, and allow the
merchants to occupy them for Is months. AT
the end of that time, if the occupants had not
rebuilt their stores, the temporary buildings
we're to be torn down.
THE OTHER PROPOSITION
was to furnish the business interests of the
town enough one-storied buildings to carry on
their business. The structures were to be 20by
60 feet, to be strictly used for mercantile pur-
poses.
1t was stated at the meeting that about 50
buildings would be required, and they could
be erected at a cost of about SIS each. In order
to have them put up at once and ready for oc-
cupancy in less than two weeks IL would be
necessary to erect them on vacant ground. The
main public square is 244 feet square and sur
rounded by four principal streets, There are
also four smaller spaces owned by the town,
each Sc feet square. ,.
General Hastings will meet the Town Coun.
Gil tomorrow and state to them what the Com
monwealth desires. The only thing wanted
from the borough will be the use of the public
squares The buildings will be erected with
out expense to those for whom they are in
tended.
WHO WILL BEAR THE EXPENSE?
The General has not yet received any assu-
rance that the State will pay for their erection,
but if it cannot be arranged the money will be
taken from one of the funds. There is enough
lumber on the ground to start the work, and
advices are being received daily that carloads
are on the way. II it becomes necessary to
purchase lumber the money will be found to do
1t without trouble to the citizens OF the place.
General Hastings received a telegram to-day
from Chicago, stating the 100 ready-made
houses were being shipped as rapidly as possi-
ble and the first installment of them would be
received Saturday. These houses will be for
the use of thepeopie who lost their homes in
the flood, and who are now stopping with
friends. Some of the people have not slept
under a roof since the night before the dam
burst. A master carpenter will arrive here in
the morning, and will Immediately proceed
with the work of erecting buildings.

Two Crooks Yesterday. and Others Before,
Run Ont of Town.

rFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
JoHNsTowN, June 1.-THE Department of
Public Safety, under the management of Gen.
eral Wiley, is still doing effective work in the
matter of protecting the property OF citizens.
This morning two more crooks were run out of
town by the officers of the department Both
were caught in the act of committing depreda-
tions.
One of the men, who is a well-known char
acter about Allegheny City, was caught in
Kernville, at an early hour this morning, going
through the lower part Of a house in which
people are living. The marauder had forced
open several trunks and chests, but beyond get
ting a bottle of whisky and few trinkets, he
secured nothing. One of the men in the
house, named Frederick Stewart, caught him
just as he was stepping through a hole in the
side of the house, and turned him over to
squad of soldiers. The man attempted to pull
knife on his captor. but was soon disarmed.
The other man was found lurking in the
vicinity of the wrecked stores on Main street,
and picking up whatever he could find. Both
were marched to the end of the town and
given ten minutes to skip" Like all the
other notorious characters who have been
driven from the city, they were headed toward
Pittsburg. MCSwIGAN.

WORMS IN CHILDREN make known
their presence by various symptoms-the
most common being an irritation of the
stomach and bowels, foetid breath, with 9
pale or leaden complexion, great thirst and
variable appetite, disturbed sleep, and
grinding of the teeth. To get rid of these
pests use DR.. Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge.
which destroys the Worms and breaks up
their nests in the intestines. Besides ex-
terminating Worms, no better Tonic can be
found for the General Debility of Children
or Adults. 1t relieves Dyspepsia, counter
acts Sour Stomach, and renews the appe-
tite. 1t is safe, pleasant and helpful
