Sunrise Party.

On the evening Of the 9th inst.
about twenty gentlemen from this city
visited the country residence of w. w.
Carney, on the Cheyenne, and sur
prised him in all his rural splendor of
checked shirt, yellow overalls and last
years sun hat. The occasion was
Mr.. Carney's 35th birth day. and the
surprise was planned and ably carried
out by Mrs. Carney, to whose hospi-
tally all who attended are everlast-
ingly under obligations. The guests
presented Mr.. Carney with a hand
some gold headed cane as token of
their respect and esteem.

Wheat for Sugar.

The great benefits the farmer derives
from the tariff robbery is clearly set
forth in the following simple illustra-
ton: addison Little brought in
some good wheat Monday and sold it
to Mr.. Connor for the highest market
price-7O cents bushel. He took the
money and with part of it. went to
Mr.. Boxmeyer's grocery store to buy
sugar. GRADUATED sugar was priced
to him at 10 cents a pound. The same
day the grade of wheat sold to Mr..
Connor was quoted in Liverpool at
81. 024 a bushel, and the sugar at cents
pound. Deduct the ocean and rail
road freight rate from here to Liver
pool and you will have the Holden
price of 20 cents. This is the boosted
home market of the American farmer.
1t is the Liverpool market minus the
freight rate. The sugar that is sold
there at cents is shipped from the
same place whence we get our supply
and here it is sold for 10 cents pound.
The English farmer sells bushel of
wheat for S1.024 and buys with the
proceeds 25a pounds of granu1ated
sugar. Mr.. Little sold bushel of
wheat of the same grade for 20 cents
and got pounds of sugar for it. The
farmer who can get politics out of his
head can fill the void with coming to
a conclusion on this matter. 1t is an
outrage and a gross injustice to the
American farmer. The man who can
not see it is blind indeed.-Kingman
Democrat.

The Firemens, Ball.

The most pleasant event of the 4th
was the fremen's ball at the opera
house. It far eclipsed all other
efforts of the boys. Nothing what
ever occurred to mar the pleasures of
the evening; the music was excellent;
the refreshments elegant (thanks to
Messrs Feldkamp and Ely,) and the
dancers were just in the mood for a
jolly time The attendance was not
as large as it would have been had
more of our business men bought
tickets; and the money profits of the
dance were not worth Dragging on.
There were perhaps three or four
business men who bought tickets
rest evidently prefering to spend a
few dollars out of town or in fireworks
to helping the fire company.

THE wheat crop in Kansas is one of
the largest and best in quality ever
raised. The prospects for increase in
price were never more favorable. The
visible supply in the United States has
been steadily on the decrease and last
week was eighteen millions less than
at the same period a year ago, which
in turn was twelve millions less than
in 1887. The Kansas farmer who can
hold his wheat for awhile may reason
ably hope for better prices

an interesting decision in regard to
mortgages on growing crops. 1t is to
this effect: A chattel mortgage was
given on crop of growing corn. The
mortgagor sold the crop to grain

against the dealer. The court held
that the mortgage on the growing crop
was..no lien On the corn after it had

In Kansas the newspaper has been
the best civilizer and the most salts
factory town builder. Like the rail-
road and the pioneer farmer, it hews
paths through unpeopled lands and
plants cities in the desert. For every
dollar it receives from the reluctant
pockets of subscribers and advertisers,
it returns one hundred dollars worth
of good to the general community.
Kansas people cannot esteem their
newspapers too highly or be too liberal
in the practical matter of subscription
and advertising.-Harper's Weekly.

THE boys of the country are the hope
of the future. Do not abuse them. If
your boy is willing to work do not ask
too much of him. If he is worth any
thing to you, give him something to
work for, something to call his own.
Many boy has had his ambition
crushed by having to labor on the farm
OF in the shop until he is of age with
no compensation in view other than
food and clothing and a chance to get
share in the property when the "old
man" is gone. If the days of your
own youth were hard and bleak you
gain nothing by making the life of your
sons the same. Encourage laudable
ambition in the boys, and your sons
will rise up to call you blessed.

aOlS1uStOu'
From the Dispatch.
Editor j. D. WEIGH, of the Lax
Chaeftas'a, attended our celebration in
company with Miss AnHeizer, of st.
Louis.
j. B. McCauley had foot crushed
last evening by catching his foot in the
turn table at the round house.
News of the death of Mrs. Dan Haley
came Wednesday morning. We join
the citizens in sympathy for Mr.. Haley
in his great affection.
The farmers could not leave the har-
vest field to attend the celebration. We
missed them, but they were wise in
! attending to the bountiful crops in
preference to celebrating.
Our German restaurant keeper had
a little time all by himself on the even
ing of the 4th. After filling up with
booze that was not very far fetched, he
proceeded to run the shanty to suit his
own peculiar idea. His wife was
locked out, and he, alone in his glory,
demolished the bottles in manner
indicative of a ruling passion.
| John Nichols, of near Olmitz, met
with severe misfortune in town to-
day. His team was hitched to post
north of the New York Store and one
of the horses leaped into the air
coming down on a post, causing 1t to
enter his body as much as II inches.
Upon being extricated the blood gushed
forth and the entrails dropped out. The
horse died in a few minutes. A sub
scriptiOn was Immediately raised for
| the benefit of MI. Nichols.
