wasps were plenty but not cheap; if one

he's unamiable; he's unsociable. If you
offer him your hand he pretends to be
insulted and treats you to singing re-

PROSPERITY NKANsAs.
The Crop Of Marriages Keeps Pace with
Farm Products.

Kansas is rejoicing in the largest crops
that have been produced in its history.
The Weld of wheat exceeds all previous
re- ords except one in quantity, and has
no rival in quality while the corn crop is
unnaralleled. 1t has been year of plen-
tv when the homesteader On the new
lands in the western part of the state has
s.en his labors rewarded as abundantly
as they would have been on the more
closely cultivated farms in the eastern
part. The agricultural products OF the
state for the year are valued at two hun
dred millions of dollars, and as conse-
uuence business is enjoying Il great re-
vival. and an era of prosperity such as
the state never knew has begun. One re-
suit of this is seen in tie large increase III
the number of marriages. The young
farmers whose bins have been filed by
the two hundred and seventy six millions
of bushels of corn grown this year, feel
safe in taking helpmeet. and they are
keeping the probate judges busy issuing
marriage licenses.
The progress of Kansas.has been steady
and sure. According to the national CEN
sus of 1880 the state had population
of nine hundred and ninety six
thousand The state census OF 1850
showed that the population had lncreas-
ed to twelve hundred and sixty eight
thousand. and on January 1, 1887, the CEN
sus by counties gave population near'y
one and "A half million. 1t is PROBABLE
that the national census of next year Will
show that the state has within its boun-
daries nearly two millions ofpeople. The
increase in the assessed valuation OF
property has kept pace with the increase
in population. But the greatest proof OF
the prosperity Of Kansas is its Increasing
marriage rate 1t should be understood
also, that this has occurred under the
great drawback of male population eX

Eorfner,s Shortage.

At last the county treasurer's vault has
been opened at Manhattan, and 1t has
been discovered that j. n. Fortner,
the absconding treasurer, took all
the county's funds with him when
he went to Canada. Mrs. Fortner,
wife Of the treasurer, gave the County
Commissioners the combination to the
lock of the steel vault. which, when
opened, was found entirely empty. The
amount of the embezzlement is placed
at $4,000. FOrtner's bondsmen WILL
make the shortage good. They have Sc
cured his property, but have discovered
it to be heavily mortgaged, so its value
is but little to them.

Three New Railroads.

An election was held at Fort Scott
few days since on the proposition sub
mitted by the mayor to vote 100000 In
bonds to secure the new Gould extern
sion. and carried without opposition,
there being only fifteen votes cast
against the bonds out of total vote OF
5000. This, beyond doubt, secures to
Fort Scott three new roads-the Belt
Terminal, the Fort Scott & Eastern and
the Fort Scott Il Western.
