FROM the following 1t would appe ar
that the political boss, who has managed
the republican patty for many years in
this country, land has at various times
Dragged to the writer about how he
did it,, has gotten himself into pickle
by trading on the power he has as a
state senator. He probably worked off
the Pawnee Rock postofice to his
advantage in getting the registership
of the Larned land Office. Tow nsley,
in his pocket edition, says:
We take the following from the Lar
ned Eagle Optse, being communication
from a correspondent at Pawnee Rock.
Don't know what the correspondent
means exactly, in publishing a letter
intended for private citizen. IF he
had any respect for Judge Chapman, he
would have addressed him privately. It
would seem from his manner of proceed
ing that he was more anxious to say
something deroggatory of the lady
who is an applicant for postmistress at
Pawnee Rock than he is to secure Judge
Chapman's good Offices:
To Hon. E. L. Chapman Of Great
Bend; Dear Sir:-We, with many
other patrons OF the Pawnee Rock
postofice, do sincerely desire ard
petition your honor to forbear should
you have any inclination to recommend
the Pawnee county woman for the Office
at the Rock. The people understand
the scheme and the bargain and trade
that the big business man Is trying to
negotiate. Haven't you ngot some
cofored American woman at Great
Bend that you can give US for post
mistress We would prefer such to the
Pawnee county woman.n

Big Hail Stones.

One day last week the citizens OF
Ellinwood and vicinity were startled
BY the thump, thump of great big
chunks of ice that came from the
clouds and struck terra frma about
every hundred feet. A storm cloud was
gathering but before any rain or hail
fell, or very much wind was noticed,
the great chunks of ice began lombard
ing the face of the earth. Some OF
the stones measured nine inches in
circumference; they we're all sorts of
queer shapes; some almost square,
none of them round like an ordinary
hail stone, Smaller hail fell later ON !,
but not enough fell to do any consid-
cradle damage. However, when one
of the big hail stones struck chicken,
hog. or amoat any other living thing
it was almost sure death. It is re-
ported that in one or two cases the
hail stones struck houses and went
through withdrawing like shot

Concerning A OEeameRy.
The farmers in the vicinity Of Hei-
zerton are In fair way to establish q
butter and cheese factory. They held
another meeting at Heizerton on Mon
day Of this week, and after hearing the
report of the committee sent to Nicker-
son to investigate the business, some
s., 100 was subscribed to the stock.
and there win probably be no delay in
getting the balance af stock necessary.
The gentlemen who have interested
themselves IN the matter are careful,
shrewd business men, and SO at the
matter in the proper way to insure
success.
REPORT OF COAMTTTEE.
Following Is the report OF the COM
mittee sent to Nickerson to investigate
the workings Of the butter and cheese
factory there:
GENTLE1EN AND NEIGHBORs:
We, as part of your committee to
investigate and examine creameries,
would beg leave to submit the following
hastily prepared report as the result of
our labors.
We visited the Nickerson creamery
in company with friend Ward, on the
10th inst, and found them busy at
work running from 5000 to 5000 pounds
of milk daily, making No. 1 goods, both
cheese and butter; making about Al
pounds of batter to the 100 pounds of
milk and 8 to 10 pounds of cheese to the
100 pounds of milk. We consider their
machinery good with few exceptions,
yet little too small to carry on the
business successfully. Also, they have
not hogs enough to consume the milk,
or offaIl, thereby loosing considerable
of the profit. It costs them about $500
per day to run their plant. They
are about paying expenses now,
but did not at first. Also, they are
paying 20 cents per 100 pounds for
milk, and $40 per month for foreman
or cheese maker. They are getting 20
cents per Id. for butter and 10 to IL for
cheese; are selling buttermilk for 3
cents and skinned or separated milk
for l cent. The stockholders which
we had time to see and enquire of
think plant good investment if
properly conducted, yet advised us to
move carefully and cautiously, so that
there may be no misunderstanding, as
they had some trouble in that direction.
The manager advised us to have 81 900,
above the cost of the plant, for incl
dental expenses.
Hence with these facts before us, we
are in favor of the latest improved
creameries and machinery, as one man
can do as much work at the creamery
with improved machinery as fifty can
do at home; making better quality of
goods which sells at better price, and
the waste or offall can be feed to hogs at
the creamery, thereby making gain
In the profit. We consider our natural
resources far better and far in advance
for dairying purposes than the vicinity
of Nickerson possesses.

Last Monday the teachers class gave
an interesting literary program.
Mr.. F. V. johnson has been assisting

The program for the entertainment
of last Saturday week will be given
next Saturday evening.
The plans for Prof. Stryker's house

his residence and will contain eighteen
rooms, to accommodate the constantly
increasing number of students.
Prof. Hill last week dissected the
stomach of a Franklin's gull. The con-

lection.
Still the new ones flock in every day.
Additions are coming from Pawnee and
Finney counties, to which vicinities
Prof. Stryker has made visits. The
prospects for the short term are very
encouraging.

Gen. Harrison and the Wine-Cup.

The following story is told of Gen. Harrison, in
connection with public dinner given him on one
occasion:
At the close of the dinner one of the gentlemen
drank his health. The general pledged his toast
by drinking water. Another gentleman offered
toast and said: General, will you not favor me
by taking glass of wine?' The general, in
very gentemany way begged to be excused. He
was again urged to join in glass of wine. This
was too much. He rose from his seat and said in
the most dignifed manner:
"Gentlemen, have twice refused to partake of
the wine-cup. l hope that will be sufficient.
Though you press the matter ever so much, not a
drop shall pass my lips. l made resolve when
started in life that | would avoid strong drink.

One Penny Lost

From the Dry Goods Chroncle.l
A little rosy-cheeked work girl in a street car
the other evening, on examining her pocketbook,
found that she had lost one penny, so that she had
only four cents with which to pay her five cents car
fare. On discovering her loss, she exclaimed,
probably without thinking, on the impulse of the
moment: II must get out; have lost a pennyp'
and then rosily blushed when she found she had
given expression to it aloud.
The loss of the penny in this case involved much
to her. 1t meant probably a walk of many miles.
Fortunately kindly-disposed gentleman sitting
beside her, handed her nickel, and received her
four pennies in return. A smile and "Thank you,"
from that little innocent face, amply repaid his
Kindness and the transaction made both the Dor
rover and the lender pleased. The loan was
little thing, yet the cheer it gave TO one who was
just beginning to provide for her own support in
the world by honest labor, will leave lasting i'm
preston for good. This want of penny, and its
supply in the busy whir of life, simply illustrates
that our pleasure and gratitude are oftener evoked
by little things than otherwise
1t is the little things that enter into our life
which make it bright and CHEEKY, or sad and dis
appointing. A little act of Kindness a little
smile little word of cheer what hope and joy
they bring to those needing them-and who does
not need them? This simple act to this child, the
loaning of one penny, probably gave her more
exalted opinion and better impression of human
ty than thousands of larger and more momentous
acts will likely do when her life is rounding up.

Faults of Many Mothers.

From Boston Journal of HEALTH
American women of all classes are, as rule,
sinfully negligent of some of the duties which per-
tain to health, especially exercise in the open air.
The excuse that their many cares engross them,
and that they, in consequence, have but little OPP
portunity for leaving their homes is scarcely suf-
Gent The number who actually can not enjoy
each day an hours outing must be small, indeed,
even among the class forced to work the hardest
Not only do many women fail in this respect in
their duty to themselves but their young children
suffer in consequence of the same neglect. From
one weeks end to another during the winter not
few of them keep their little ones in overheated
rooms, if not huddled around the Kitchen stove,
and the result is we find them, as spring ap-
proaches, weak, puny and ailing. In such faml-
lies colds, coughs, sore threats and the like are
common affections. There is scarcely day dur
ing the coolest season when even the baby cannot
be safely taken out of doors. Mothers should I'M
derstand that upon the daily enjoyment of fresh
and open air depends, in great degree, the health
of their little ones, as well as themselves; it is, in
fact, absolutely indispensable to the well being of
all.
