PERSONAL.

Hawaiian Gazette, Honolulu.
Among the arrivals on tho .Ast
mail steamer from the Coast, we're
Mr.. and Mrs. n. r. Baker of Topeka,
Kansas. They have already visited the
Volcano, and altogether they are much
pleased with the Islands. Mr.. and Mrs.
Baker left home in October, 1889. and
have been travelling ever since. They
expect to reach home in April. Mr.
Baker first saw the light of day at Hilo,
Hawaii, in 1853. His father, Floyd
Baker. was at that time the able district
attorney of the Island of Hawai-. Dur
ing his visit to Hilo, last week, Mr.. Ba-
ker stopped at Hilo and met large
number Of people who knew his parents
when they resided at Hilo, and he gath
cred a great deal of information which
will Ee most interesting to his parents
when he returns to the states Mr..
Baker enjoyed himself very much at
Hilo during his brief stay. He is man
ager of the Kansas Newspaper Union,
which supplies one hundred end seven
ty-four newspapers with news. AS Mr..
Baker intends to write up his impress
sions of the islands for use by the
Union, it will be seen that he is likely
to spread correct information that We
ought to appreciate, aud that will not
do any harm to the islands.
In looking over the report o: Chief
Justice VIM. P. Lee to the Legislature
o. 1854, we find the following reference
to Mr.. Bakers father: "From the dis
trict attorney of the large and import
ant island of Hawaii, Floyd Baker, Esq,
I have received valuable and satisfac-
tory report Of the judicial transactions
OF that district for the year 1853, and
one which think may be relied upon
as correct. Mr.. Baker has visited every
district on the island, except one, at
much labor and expense, and I take
pleasure in saying that I have learned
from several quarters that he has proved
himself a useful and efficient officer"

men Of national reputation. The con-
ference district embraces about one
hundred ministers and twenty thousand
members.
The old Swedish Baptist church, at
the corner Of Fifth and Fillmore streets
Topeka, is being torn down, and new
church, larger and much more hand
some, will be erected upon the old site.
At Pittsburg the new Christian
church has been dedicated by Rev. F.
NJ. Rains, national secretary OF the
church extension fund OF the Christian
church, assisted by Rev. DR.. Hughes
of Kansas City. It is the finest church
in the city Of 10000 people with all in
debtedness raised. In honor of the
dedicating services all protestant
churches in the city adjourned and
united with this church.
Marion Record: Gillis Walton is
drawing plans for new Mennonite
church to be erected in Marion at once.
1t is to be built on Washington street.
we understand. These good people, in
Guiding such splendid citizens as the
Ehrlichs, are quite numerous in this
vicinity, and can furnish a large con.
gregation.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

The Santa Fe has shipped car load
OF hogs from Kansas City to Ell Paso. a
distance of 1,100 miles, in fifty seven
hours, tie fastest freight run ever made
over that route. The hogs are bound
for the City of Mexico.
1t is stated that the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe Railroad have estab-
lished, in connection with the, system, a
bureau for the specific purpose of locat-
ing manufacturing industries along the
line of the road. The method of the
company is to have its passenger agents
look around and find manufacturers de-
sirous of moving to the west. If the en-
terprise is a desirable ono the railway
donate site and furnish a portion of
the money to establish the mandatory
somewhere along the road.
Thomas County cat., 1890-03-27

The names of great men live after
them. Any one who mounts the stair
case of a certain Dearborn street office
building map see near the foot of the
stairs a rusty little tin sign tackled to
the wall, says the Chicago Herald.
This little sign measures about 12x3
inches, and all it bears is M w. Full
Ter" in letters which were once gilt, but
which are now nearly effaced by time.
Near the top of the stairs is its dupli-
cate, and on the door of a lawyers
Office near the end of an upper hall
appears the same name. 1t is the
name of the man who is now the Chief
Justice of the United States. His
Office used to be in this building, and
no one has ever disturbed his signs.
The sign of an ordinary man who had
moved or absconded or died would
have been quickly effaced, but the
Chief Justices old neighbors are evi-
IDENTIFY proud of his name, and will
allow it to stand until time wipes it

STOCK AND FARM.

Osborne Farmer: A negro in Gra-
ham county recently marketed ton OF
cotton at Hill City. 1t is said that
quite a number OF the farmers of that
county will tuin their attention to this
southern crop next summer.
Ness City Times: J. B. Whitley
shipped car load of fine horses to New
York, in the latest improved palace
horse car and will arrive at their desti-
nation in splendid condition. These
cars are paltitioned in stalls, with feed
and water troughs.
Wellington Monitor: Farmers around
Argonia are preparing to plant castor
beans extensively this spring. Frank
NJ. Sheck, agent of the Santa Fe, as the
representative of an eastern firm, will
sell or loan them seed and contract for
the crop at one dollar bushel. Cas-
tor beans are good money crop. and
their cultivation should be encouraged.
Thomas County cat., 1890-03-27

A Missouri farmer with turn for
statistics has furnished a communica-
ton to his county paper on the subject
of official salaries, in which he states
that an official who receives 1000 per
year salary absorbs the price of 26,666
bushels of corn at Is cents per bushel,
or of 6,666 bushels of wheat at GO cents
per bushel, or 33, 333 bushels of oats
at II cents, or the price of fifty good
farm horses. He also estimates that
farm hand at $13 per month would
have to work the year round for a
quarter of a century to earn the same
amount, and adds that in 1865 -'6S
about 5000 to 5000 bushels of corn
would have footed the bill, or 5000
bushels of wheat.
Thomas County cat., 1890-03-27

In Germany railway fagman at the
crossing at small station thought he
had the grip when all the other employees
of the road were getting leave of alb
sence from the same cause, and applied
to the company's doctor to be exam
ined. The doctor could not spare the
time to stop at such small place, so
he telegraphed the fiagman to be
standing beside the track when the
train went past, with his tongue out,
and he would examine him on the fly.
The fagman dutifully stood with his
tongue out all the time the train was
slowly passing his station, and the
next day the company received from
passengers dozen complaints of the
impertinent conduct of one of its en-
ployes at the station.
