Attacked and Pounded.

AS our friend, Ed. Chalk, living down
by Big creek, was sitting in his par
Tor Monday evening, taking rest
from the cares and burdens of the day,
he was surprised by crowd of people.
They entered his room without ceremony,
pulled him off his chair, and proceeded
to pound him, not so much as giving a
reason. He says "they pounded the life
nearly ont of him."
The explanation followed the rough
treatment. He had not thought of it, but
his wife had: It was his forty-second
birthday. Wa-Keeney people were well
represented in the attacking party. The
intruders took possession of the house,
and, to quote again from Mr.. Chalk, "they
sang and danced till morning"
Refreshments were abundant.

MORE ,SONND SENSE

The Ness City Ne7pS of week before last
after copying our remarks of the weel
before, concerning the urgent demand fol
unity of action on the part Of tht
people who would build up their town
adds these suggestions. They are logica
and plain:
The World is quite right in advocating
the securing of small plants, or what is the
equivalent, factories that require the in.
yestment Of small amount of capital
While large plants are desirable we are
not certain but that the same investment
Ia the way of a number of smaller indus
tries will In most cases prove of greater
profit to the community i'll which they are
located. 1t is true that il is much easier.
as suggested by the WORLD, to secure the
location of manufacturing enterprises
after the start has been made, and in the
first instance it is better to secure the lar
ger plants, if possible, az it gives other
people more confidence in the community
in which they are located, and the
establishing of minor industries follows
as a matter of course.
Another idea, also suggested by the
above article, is the necessity of unity of
action in the matter of building up manu-
featuring interests. We mean in the
broader sense, and not as applied to single
communities, but rather to the develop
ment and welfare Of the entire West. The
narrow-minded pickering between differ
ent towns and settlements of the same gen.
eral locality, somewhat largely INDUCED
IN, is all wrong, and should be knocked
out before many more rounds are fought.
Every important enterprise secured in any
town IN Western Kansas adds lust so
much toward the development of this
great territory, and goes to demonstrate
that this is desirable country in which to
dO business, and that business is actually
being done here. 1t is detriment to the
whole country for one town to disparage
its neighbors. No good can result from
such course. II will not benefit Ness City
to disparage Dighton, Rush Center, Wa
heeney or any other town in Kansas, and
no good can come from any malicious
shafts hurled by those towns at Ness City.
RATHER will the upbuilding of any one of
these towns result in the material develop
ment of its rivals and competitors, in more
ways than one. For generous rivalry we
have the greatest respect, but for that
species of competition which seeks to
upbuild one community by tearing down
another we have no use. Let each town
"get up and hump ITSELF to secure all the
plums 1t can find, and then If ell other
communities will rejoice in the good ,or-
tune of their rival a new era will be
opened in the history of Western Kansas.
Ness City is securing her share of indus
trial enterprises, and the Nesps has naught
but the best of wishes for our neighboring
cities in the same direction.

/ notice in yours of July Is that Chas
F. Norton asks how the Rev. Hen. kills

secret only known to the Rev. Henry
Nimrod Blackstone Rogers, of Ogallah
and Ellis P. o., Kansas. I have tried to
worm the secret from Henry, but money
would not induce him to divulge the
secret to your correspondent. I also
tried another scheme to induce him to
divulge the secret to me. 1 know the
old mans fondness for chickens, so
invited him to my house to dine. killed
eight or ten of the toughest of our fowls
so that could have a chance to converse,
but the elder occupied so much time in

him the modas obeyandi of dog catching.

There is no injury to milk, cream or but

The World is steady advocate of en-

corning the methods ofpreparing eusilage.
The creamery at this place offers an adj
ditional incentive to furnishers of milk
for preparing ensilage for late fall and
early spring feeding. ct is fair to pre-
sumo that, at best. the creamery will be
closed during the winter months) But
the suspension of its business should be
as short as possible, for the very good rea-
son that the prices of both cream and
butter are strongest during the cold sea-
son.
Ii each person who furnishes milk for
the creamery will write to us, stating that
he wants definite information concerning
the preparation of ensilage, it will be our
pleasure to give it to him through the
World. Write anyway. If You have a
method surprising ensilage in the prep
aration Of feed for cows, let us have that.

SETTLEN

The supreme court has decided
that the law passed last winter, To-
eating the county seat of Wallace
county at Sharon Springs for five
years, is constitutional.
On the strength of the friends OF
Wallace town having voted, at the
special election Of county officers on
April Is last, for Wallace for coun-
ty seat, the county officers hied
thither from Sharon Springs. The
supreme court has ordered them to
move back to the county seat.
The town of Wallace thus be-
comes for finality the victim of
the vicious mismanagement of a
few of her wouId-be leading citizens.
The friends of Wallace town could
have organized that county in the
spring of 1887, and secured the per-
manent location Of the county seat.
Instead of adopting this common
sense policy, a few hotheads pur-
posed to compel the legislature of
1887 to declare the county organ
lied. This, that body refused to do.
Ye. these few hotheads, through
lack of proper discernment or for
personal reasons, kept on in the d.
rection of having the old organiza-
ton of the county recognized by
an outside agency. The aid of the
courts was invoked. Judge Osborn,
in 1887, decided in their favor.
After a wearisome delay, the SUI
preme court has done, not only what
we state in the outset of this article.
but it has established the wisdom of
the people of that territory in or
ganizing Wallace county last year
under our state law. In the incipi-
ency of the bitter agitation Of the
method which should be pursued in
organizing Wallace county, and all
through that agitation, the World
contended that the matter ought to
be submitted to a vote Of the people
OF the county. It now turns out
that this was the only tenable
ground.

Birds Eye View of the Nominal
in- Convention.


Although the Democratic Con-
vention has not yet met, any man
with half an eye can see just about
what will happen when it does.
The APPEAL, which IS always
ahead OF tha tunes presents tina fol-
lowing report to its readers:
Billy MEG mis-. the rising young
Democrat called the meeting to or
| der and made a short speech, to
the effect that the good old Jack
sonian days had returned to the
Fourth District of Boston.
When the time for making the
Congressional nomination arrived,
seven men were placed Ia nomina-
ton. Ameng the number was JOHN
l.. Sullivan.
Up TO the day before the conven-
ton, Sullivan was largely III the
lead, hut he got on one oil ais pro-
tracteG sprees and painted the First
Ward red with champagne.
The Democrats OF his oHn ward
were very much incenEed at his
spending his monay in rival ward
and they decided to punish him for
bis feollshness.
The convention was fally ac-
analntel with his PSI formanca and
had il all cut and dried to "klbosh'
him altar thr nost aft med style.
The idea was to give him about
two votes and let him slide. Al
Ter the tellers went round and the
hat containing the ballots was de-
posted on the platform, Old John
l.. himself appeared in the hail and
climbing the platform, pitched the
tsliers bodily into the audience and
remarked:
"Gents, [ guess that first round
was foul and | declare it off, you ii
gat down to business and take that
ballot over again. This first 5lOks
that votas against John L. Sullivan
Boston, Ill get thrown out OF
t ,e window, Time, for the wind up"
The ballot WAS then taken and
John L. Sullivan was declared the
unasimous choice of the conven-
ton.
