Farmers are feeling greatly encourag-
ed over the present prospect of big
wheat crop this summer. Another crop
like last season will lift many of our
homesteaders out of debt and leave him
a surplus beside.
Ex-Governor Click asserts that there
has never been farmer in the Kansas
legislature who has been detected in re-
ceiving or giving bribe. What does
this prove! That the farmers of Kansas
are extraordinarily honest or that they
are exceptionally slick.-Denver Times.
We are obliged to throw the communi

nous communications cannot be accept

We desire to call attention this week to
the new 'ad' of Bullene, Moore, Emery
& Co.. of Kansas City. They are the
largest dry good firm in the West, and
you can purchase from them by mail as
easily as you Gag anywhere else by your
presence. Give them trial.
The sheriff of Graham county passed
through here on Saturday from Nebras-
ka, where he arrested a man wanted at
Hill City charged with horse stealing.
The officer had hard time to get his pris
amer away from Nebraska, as the author
tiles there did not want to give him up.
Rev. John Wilson conducted his last
public sermon at the Presbyterian church
last Sunday, preaching both morning
and evening. There was large audience
present at the evening service but MIR.
Wilson did not preach farewell sermon
as had been expected. He spoke on the
question of gambling, showing why it
was wrong and sin.
The county clerks annual report for
Thomas county for the year ending Oct.
10, 'S9, made seven columns of solid non
pariel in The Cat" the official paper. A
very healthy grab for the paper as we
believe it receives legal rates for legal
work.-Smith Centre Bazoo. Only three
fourths legal rate and the devil says it
is not enough by half for a job like that.
The Farmers alliance of Brown coun-
ty has resolved that the salaries paid
county officials are too high and must be
reduced by the legislature. The county
treasurer is paid 81, 900, the county clerk
$1,000, and the officers paid by fees will
be forced, according to their plan, to pay
all they make in year over 1880 into
the county treasury.
Gus. Lauterbach of the Farmers and
Merchants bank, spent Tuesday in Good
land. He says business there is exceed
ingly dull and many of their business
houses are empty. The bankers there do
very little chattsl mortgage business be
cause of the insecurity of the farmers.
The store rooms are but little oyster
shells and the combined stocks of the
merchants will not equal ours by half.
No fine brick blocks there or moneyed
men to erect them.
If you or any of your family should hap
pen to be frightfully burned or scalded, |
what have you in the house to alleviate
the pain until you can get physician? A |
box of Beggs' German Salve on hand at
times like this would save a world of suf |
fering and oftentimes doctor bill, as it |
has no equal in cases of this kind, as well j
as inflammation of all kinds. Martin s. |
