FIGURING MILL.

Messrs. c. J. Chapman and Daniel
Gerster. two Touring mill men, of Ellis,
Kansas. have been this week in Colby in
vestigating as to the ACCESSIBILITY of put
ting in flour mill here, and express.
themselves much pleased over our pros
poets, in every way. These gentlemen
| are familiar with western Kansas and its
wheat producing qualities. They make a
very fair offer to our citizens in regard
to putting in mill here Their PROPOSE
ton in effect is:
1. They will put in first-class Touring
mill, the machinery of which will cost
from $4,000 to $4,000, and have the
same in condition to grind wheat by
August 1. 1889.
9. Provided our citizens will furnish
them three-story mill building, 3Ox4O
feet to cost somewhere about 81, 900. And
mill site on the north side of one of
the railroad tracks in the city, and such
amount of wheat as the farmers will sub
scribe as an inducement.
This is an important matter for our cit
liens, and if we all take hold of it and
give as literally as we can Colby will
have a first class mill before the summer
is over. The gentlemen making the pro-
position are willing to give surety that
they will carry out their part of it, and
all know the great benefit business of all
kinds will derive from having a mill
here. 1t will draw trade for miles in ev-
cry direction which now goes to some
other point.
We would suggest mass meeting of
our citizens to consider the matter on
next Saturday night at 8 o, clock at the
Court house.

Ii sbouAd be a cause Of congratulatior
TO all lovers of humanity that a well
known heiress has made so narrow al
escape fiom the jaws of that commonly
worthless animal, European Prince
and that she has placed the broad At
iantic between her and the voIaciou.
creature. 1t presents the case Of 4
greedy wolf rejecting with disdain an
innocent lamb. when he expected to de.
YOUR at leisure victim of large pro.
portions. When the lamb was offered,
he Is reported to have exclaimed, not
rs thy servant n dog that he should do
this thing" but, lis thy servant beggar
that he should sell his great title for a
pittance.
Another case Of the purchase OF n
Prince, in which the goods. such as
they were, were actually delivered, is
furnished by great railroad magnate,
who had bought up Congressman at a

what will be the drain Of American
wealth to Europe IN the purchase Of
princes, barons and counts, and rs
heavy shipments Of gold have to be
made to complete these purchases, who
can say that in the course OF a few
years the balance Of trade will not be-
steadily and hopeiessly against us. In
order to diminish, il possible, this drain /
OF wealth We wish 10 offer a suggestion I
OF purely practical nature.
II is evident that the cost OF prince,
baron or count must be very much in-
creased by the cost of hunting him up,
and II Is well known that horse or any
animal can be bought much more
chsaply at an auction than BY private
pegotiatiou. We propose, therefore,
that ell American heifesses desiring
titles shall hold a convention in New
