life and growth of Kansas educational /

Stockton Academy, viii be with as +
ali day and evening.
Dick Cowen says he and party
had a splendid time on their trip Of
four months duration to western Col
OradO. They went near to the Utah
line. They camped out every night;
the health Of the party steadily I'M
proved and altogether they had fine
time. 1t was a pleasure trip. All
the parties are satisfied with Phillips
burg as home
We learn from good authority
that the announcement in the kIrWin
and Logan papers of VIM. SpurlOck
as an Independent candidate for
Register of Deeds, was not authorized
! by him and that he is not and viii
not come out independently. We
/ suspected that the announcement
] above referred to had been caused by
some one without SpurlOck's sane
/ ton.
Rev. Theo Bracken has resign
ed his position as pastor of the Pres
( byterian Church Of this place and on
/ last Sunday preached his farewell
sermon. He rendered his resignation
once before when he was first appoint
ed to fill the unexpired term Of the
/ County Treasurer, but the church
society at that time declined to ac-
cept it. Having been nominated by
the Republicans for the long and
short term, he thought best to step
down and out of the pulpit and let
some one else be engaged. He was a
! popular pastor and the Presbyterian
congregation gives him up very re-
luctantly.
In another place in this HERALD
may be seen an article from the At
Gibson Champion about Phlllipsburg.
It is none too complimentary of our
growing town This is the division
on the Rock Island road midway be-
tween st. Joseph, Mo, and Denver,
Colorado That it is destined to be
the largest and most fOurishing town
I in northwestern Kansas is not only
probable but nearly certain. Com
mercial travelling men declare that
this is already the most prosperous
town in northwestern Kansas. The
Rock Island Company have just be
l gun the erection Of a large addition
to their rOund-house here and there
{ are other indications that several
good things are in store for US.
Mr.. Sam Rosenberg, who is a ma
tive Of Europe, says railroad acct
dents are very rare IN the ''Old cOun-
5 try" It is the custom there to have
5 men stationed all along the line OF
8 road a man having q mile or two miles
Of track to watch His business is tC
walk back and forward over the road
in advance Of each train. If any
thing is wrong he signals and stops
! the train. In this way accidents are
l prevented except at rare intervals
when they may occur from some
p cause unknown to the track-WaIk8r
? 1t may look like an expensive custom
e but it IS not as expensive as IN this
I country where frequently whole trains
are wrecked by reason of accidents
+ which would have been prevented by
r the European system.
d Information is sent us again tha
g Windmill agents are abroad IN tbs
county and farmers are being takeI
+ in and induced to sign orders fO
q wind mills which they suppose vii
b cost them but about 500, but which
n orders are so worded that d lot Of ex
f tras can be put in by the seller max
ing the mill cost the farmer $500 tx
q $500 The HERALD is asked to pro
4 tect the farmers from these sharpers
4 All we can do is to caution them anG
o advise them to be careful about sign
2 ing papers presented by strangers
Sometimes the danger is couched il
the fine print on the contract. Yhi;
> they should carefully read over anC
8 if they do not fully understand it
- meaning, have nothing further to d
e with the agent Sign no paper, agre
y to nothing unless you know what yOl
Il are signing and exactly what you ar
agreeing to. The better plan is t
II order your goods through some HON
5 dealer you know to be reliable an
e trustworthy,
