this place has been subscribed, and
work on the building is to commence
soon.
Moline Mercury: Major Chapman
received word from Commissioner Tan
ner that he had decided to increase Geo.
D. Symms' pension from s. to $12
month.
Cimarron Jacksonain: Cimarron has
more babies and little children than
any other town of its size in the state of
Kansas. The kid crop can be counted
on every time.
Monument Obelisk: From the top of
the monument forty windmills can be
seen. A country SO well supplied with
these substantial improvements is GER
tainly neither barren nor poverty
stricken.
Dexter Free Press: The Cherokees
have decided not to allow any hay
shipped from their part of the territory.
Where thousands Of tons were shipped
out in former years, the same will now
be assigned to the flames.
Burlington Independent: The popu-
lation of Coffey county has increased
over 700 within the past year. Waiver
ly has made the greatest gain in popu-
lation according to her size of any town
in the county. We now have a few over
10000 inhabitants in the county, and
the increase is a steady and healthy one.
Cmarron Jacksonian: While driving
down to Dodge we noticed several men
at work on building intended for
cheese factory at Howell. This is what
we call enterprise, little jim crow town
without depot or real estate Office,
building cheese factory. Ravanna
also has one. What's the matter with
Cimarron? Organize stock company
and get down to business.
Moran Herald: Some idea. of the
magnitude of the hay business here
may be formed from the fact that
Mr.. J. H. Vaughn has shipped, dur
ing the past season, fromhere, 126
cars, averaging about Il tons each,
or over 1900 tons all together. Mo-
ran may not be having much of boom
but she ships more produce than any
other station in the county.
Anthony Enterprise: The public
school building is completed and when
furnished will be one of the most COM
plete in the state. The work has all been
done in satisfactory manner, and the
building is pronounced by all superior
to the old one. Too much credit can
not be given the president of the school
board, I. B. Forbes, for his personal
superintendent of the building.
Osawatomie Advertiser: Charles
Mumford was seriously hurt while
blasting stone at the quarry on the
place occupied by A. G. Vanpelt, adj
joining the town. A blast was explod-
ed unexpectedly and before Mr.. Num-
ford could get out of the way. The
hurt is quite serious and there is
probability that he will lose the sight
of his eyes, if he is so fortunate as to
recover otherwise.
Abilene Reflector: W. T. W. Ster-
ling, the wide-awake secretary of the
Holland Creamery association, was in
the city experimenting some large
shipments of butter to the Eastern
markets. One lot of 5000 pounds was
consigned to Knight & Garlock, of
New York. and was purchased by Mr..
Knight in person. He pronounced it
equal to the best Orange county my
butter and listed it at the very top market
price.
Jetmore Siftings: The cheese factory
is now turning out cheese at the rate
of ton week. The amount of money
brought into the county by the sale of
the product of this factory will be of
incalculable benefit to the farmers, to
whom it will be almost a clear gain, and
its assured success should encourage
our citizens to renewed efforts toward
the establishment of other factories.
That we will have sugar factory by
another year, there is no doubt.
Soldier City Tribune: The old set
tiers reunion was held in the Ike Nc
Kee Grove south of town. There was
a good attendance and everything
passed off pleasantly. We counted ten
of the original company of so who
landed on the Vermillion creek 33 years
ago in attendance. Perhaps there are
now living of those old pioneers, about
twenty, as reported to us. Capt. Ten
ny delivered very fine address to the
old settlers, that was well received.
Many of the settlers gave interesting
"reminiscences of early life in Kansas.
Liberal Leader: Judge Parkinson,
the general manager of the Southwest
ern Sugar company, informed us that
his company will erect machine shop
here, in which some of the new work
for the Liberal, Arkalon and Meade
mills will be made. It will also be used
for the repair work for the three mills.
The carpenter work on the sugar mill
is progressing very rapidly. The frame
work of the main building is ND and
