The work win be pushed as rapidly as
possible and they hope to be able to 10
ceive milk in less than thirty days.

of 26x26. The machinery was but little
damaged. The creamery will have a
capacity of 1900 pounds of milk per
day. In the vicinity of the creamery
there are about 500 COWS.
Ell Dorado Republican: As remarks
have been made about the failure of an
old soldier to get the Ell Dorado post
Office we wish to say that James c.
Rodgers father enlisted in the three
month service in 81, and served his
time as a private. He re-enlisted for
three years, served three years, was pro-
noted captain, went with Sherman to
the sea, and died within year after the
war from the hardships, leaving James
an orphan of fourteen years.
Sterling Gazette: Twelve new re-
cruits have been mustered into service
at the regular meeting of Co. III" The
company now has sixty names on it's
muster roll, all of which, with the ex-
ception of three or four, are in reach in
case they were to be again called into
service. This is the first time since the
limit of membership was changed from
forty to sixty that the company has
been full, and we shall expect to see the
boys do credit to themselves in proper
ton to their numbers.
Salina Journal: The mortgager, M.
r. Moser, took possession of the mate
rial of the Republican Office, moving it
into A. G. Welcher's job Office. The
Campbell newspaper press was not in
Guided in the mortgage, and this be-
comes the basis of an entirely new office,
the needed type being ordered from the
Kansas Newspaper Union, Topeka, by
telegram. Without missing single is
sue the Daily Republican goes on. The
Republican folks certainly possess grit,
and if grit is sure to win, the Republic
can must win.
Junction City Union: The newspa-
per men over the state are just begin
ming to realize that Fort Riley stands
in the center of the Universe, three
miles from Junction City, Kansas.
Fort Riley is the greatest military res
ervation IN the world, containing 10000
acres, with post for cavalry, artillery
and recruit training school for 1,50O
men and as many horses, and horse
breeding station for the entire army of
the United States. It will have yearly
pay roll of 100000, and require a
city of of 125 buildings at an average
cost of $4,000, or 81, 900, of which
amount 100000 have been expended;
$215,OO are on hand to be used in 1889,
and enough work left to keep 600 labor
ers steadily employed for six years.
The entire post is now furnished with
water by system of water works;
drained by system of sewerage; heat
ed by steam from one boiler house;
lighted with electric lights, and provid-
ed with good walks and drives.
Ell Dorado Republican: On the 18th
of June the Kansas state normal
will hold it's twenty fifth annual COM
mencement. It is the purpose of the
faculty to make this silver anniversary
of the institution an occasion of rare in
terest. The programme will include a
history of the normal, and other special
exercises of an appropriate character.
A novel feature will be sketches of the
eighteen students who assembled in the
old stone school house on Constitution
street, in Emporia, on the morning of
the opening of the normal quarter of
century ago. All of these, with sin
gle exception, have been heard from,
and some of them will be present. The
first alumni of the normal-class of '67
were Miss Ellen Plumb, of Emporia,
sister of Senator Plumb, and Mrs. DR..
Short, of Trenton, Missouri, both
of whom expect to be in attend
ance at the commencement in June.
The normal this term has an enrolment
of 800, and may well point with pride to
it's humble beginning
