PRESENT PROSPECTS.

Kansas is forging to the front
this season. 1t is conceded on all
hands that her crop prospects are
better than those Of any other state.
If this leading position is maintained
throughout the season, the coming
fall will be pre-eminently one OF
business. This will not be all.
Home seekers will fairly invade the
state in their desire to become
Kansans by adoption.
Present indications are that, II
this great triumph shall come to
Kansas this year, western Kansas
can not be excluded from her just
share in it. Crop prospects seem to
be as promising here as they are in
central or eastern Kansas. Where
either of those portions Of the state
has one acre Of land to dispose of
at prices within the reach Of the
average home seeker, western Kan
sas has twenty-five acres.
In Trego county, the prospects OF
good crops in general are better
now than they ever have been be-
fore on the first day Of June. The
climatic changes in which the stu
dent of nature believes with the
intensity Of conviction are being
wrought here in perceptible degree.
The trees which have been planted;
the buffalo grass which has given
way to the taller grasses; the myri-
ads of weeds whose roots have
created so many little water recepta-
cles; the ground which has been
cultivated; the steady emissions Of
mist from railroad engines - all
these and a thousand other agencies
dependent upon the march Of civil
zation have wrought changes in the
climatic condition in this county.
These changes will continue with
growing force.
He who locates here now will
find schools and churches and the
best Of society. To settle here ten
years ago was an experiment for
any man. To settle here now is to
take advantage Of the experiments
Of these ten years.

4 FEW HINTS TO CORRESPONDENTS
The WORLD has always been IA
vored with liberal supply Of cor
respondence from different portions
Of Trego county. Many reasons,
the chief Of which has been the
sparsity Of settlement, have con-
spired to impel US to publish much
correspondence which should, upon
critical tests, have been rejected.
Henceforth, it may as well be I'M
derstood, we prefer the exercise Of
greater care on the part Of contribu-
tors whose writings have not
registered some respect for COM
nonsense rules like these: Copy
should be written in a legible hand,
whether it is dramatically correct
or not; no item should be sent for
publication, which will not prove Of
interest to somebody; the determi-
nation to write only items Of merit,
even though ever so few Of these be
obtainable, should be persevered in:
the policy Of noting carefully the
industrial conditions Of the neigh
borhood, such as the planting of an
unusually large crop by any individ-
ual, the large yield Of any particular
piece Of ground under peculiar con-
ditions, the trial Of new species or
varieties of farm crops, the appear
ance of any class of live stock pos
sessing traits Of excellence, and ev-
cry item pertaining to the thousand
and more possible directions for the
development af the neighborhood-
this, we say, is the policy of the in
telligent country contributor.
These are among the things
with which sensible readers wish to
be served. Thousands of people in
other states would turn eagerly to a
western Kansas paper in which this
class of news preponderates.
Do not ignore other local hap
penings. Simply insert the class of
news which we have suggested, in
lieu Of a lot Of stuff which deserves
no place in newspaper.
The WORLD has conducted its
editorial and home news columns
largely upon the basis herein sug-
gested to correspondents. The
good results are visible to those who
wish to look. The work needs
doing, even in view of the fact that
it may not be appreciated by GER
tain few who have no heart to
assist in it.

RAIN AND HAIL.
A Few Points Noted in Their
Progress.

A heavy rain fell Monday night. Vege-
tation was out on dress parade Tuesday
forenoon.
About the middle of Tuesday afternoon
more rain fell. This was accompanied
by hail portion of the time, and a
heavy wind lent force to the combination.
The roof and gable ends of E. d.
Wheelers ice house were blown off. The
flying mass struck the north portion of
his residence, breaking out nine window
panes, injuring portions of the cornice,
cracking some OF the Notwithstanding
and damaging the plastering a little.
But little OF the displaced material was
available in repairing the roof and
gables of the ice house hfr. Wheeler
estimates his loss at about $500. His
insurance does not cover this species of
loss.
The fans were blown off two or three
windmills in town.
The band stand was demolished.
Another heavy rain fell Tuesday night.
The condition of the ground could not be
more favorable for crops than It is now.

4. e. CARPENTER, of Sedgwick county,
has been appointed state oil inspector.
He was member of the Kansas house of
representatives in 1878. Carpenter is a
nice fellow. The desire Of the governor
to make it appear that he wished to
treat both of the Republican factions in
Trego county with impartiality had not a
little to do with Carpenters appointment.
J. 81. Downing, of Hays City, was a can
didate-a very prominent one--for oil
inspector. But after Mr.. Allen, of that

Two Bismarck Anecdotes.

The chancellor is fond Of mystifying
people. On one occasion an industrial mag
nate, who dabbled in politics and happened
TO meet Prince Bismarck at Varzin, ap-
preaching him with confidential air, asked:
'Well, your highness, what will be done in
this Egyptian question: Really, have no
idea, replied Bismarck, with indifference, II
have not yet read the morning papers.
Another time it was he who was myssified.
He was commissioned to hand a decoration to
a soldier who had performed signal deed Of
bravery. With his accustomed contempt for
men he thought he would subject him to a
test my friend" he said, II am to hand
you this iron cross Of the first class, but in
case you happen to be poor have been au-
thorized to offer you a hundred thalers in
place of this decoration" The soldier, with
out altering his expression, calmly inquired
the value of the cross, and being told that it
amounted to about three thalers, he an
swered: well, give me the cross and ninety
seven thalers" Prince Bismarck, won over
by this presence of mind, was obliged to ac-
cede to his request.-New York Commercial
