HAVE our readers given much
thought or attention to the raising of
alfalfa? We know theirs are some fields
of the clover in this county, but we are
not posted as to how successful a crop
it has proven here. But, in the west
ern counties, under the irrigating
bitches. alfalfa is the salvation of the
land. This you will learn by convers-
ing with any one who is informed as to
that locality. The question is: Would
it not pay the farmers of Barton county,
especially those OH the Arkansas and
Walnut bottoms, to investigate the
matter and see if they cannot profitably
raise this valuable product?

READ carefully the article about
National Banks,'' from the Kansas
Fa,mfer of March 10th. The democratic
party made the adjustment OF the
national bank system a part OF their
platform in 1888, and so awakened the
antagonism of the money powers, the
only men who are greatly benefited by
the national banking system. that they
united in a mighty effort and overthrow
the tariff reform. But the people were
set to thinking, the haven was at WORK
and today the whole country is in
stir over the same questions there
brought out by the democratic platform.

From the Dispatch.
A son was born to Mrs. Henry Bowler
on the 18th.
w. G. Early will soon begin the
erection of an addition to bis residence.
What is the matter with our brass
band? We do not hear of their having
regular meetings.
Rev. A. L. DeLaVergne will soon
move to HoisingtOn. He cOntemplates
erecting residence.
It is reported that the machine de-
partner of the Mo. Pacific at THE
place is to be greatly increased. We
hope for the truth of the report.
There is an industry that we believe
needs to be looked after by the people
of Hoisington and northern Barton
county. 1t is the stone and lime bust
ness. We have the best of stone within
a few miles of town, and lime of
excellent quality is burned. We believe
that these industries combined could
be made of great profit and the means
of giving employment to many persons,
if the right parties take hold of the
matter. If company was organized
that meant business and would rustic
for business, we are of the opinion that
the railroad company would be glad to
assist in the way of running a track
out to the quarries. Ness county ships
great quantities Of stone east as
far as Hutchinson on the Santa Fe and
why not we, on the Mo. Pacific?

The poetry of a college girl, quoted

AS the sun now becomes brighter

as the grey tint of the coming dawn is
succeeded by the first red rays of the

SAFE BLOWERS AT WORK.
A Smooih Job Worked Last Night and

This morning when tius ScbrOdcT :

office, he saw at once that burglars
bad been az work in the SALOON, as
the mOuey safe was standing partly
opened, aud hasty examination
revealed the fact that the money
drawer located on the inside Of tue
safe had been bursted out aud all the
money taken. He sent Mr.. Schroeder
word at once concerning the matter
aud as SOON as he arrived a more
thorough examination was made,
which makes the matter rather a
queer job, aud SHOWS evidently that
the work was not done by green
bands, as the Job was neatly exc

Mr.. Wilcox, who rooms upstairs,

I If some one was pounding, but as a
number of roomers reside in the

from his mind, thinking it was
someone coming up stairs. The
front doors of the saloon were fast

"A QUESTION as to how the entrance
was effected. There is only two so
