Still the Favorlte.
GRANGER.

If you are contemplating a trip for
business or pleasure it will be well to re-
member that the Burlington Route is still
the favorite. Her old established line
to Chicago hardly needs more than mere
mention for the reason that every man,
woman and child in the country is so
familiar with the fact that over this line
runs the famous solid vestibule "ELT'
with its splendid Pullman Sleepers, chair
cars and dining cars.
Your attention is now called to our
double daily service between Kansas City.
Atchison, st. Joseph and ST. Louis.
Heretofore we had but one daily train
from the Missouri river to st. Louis, that
being night train, placing passengers in
st. Louis in the morning in time for
breakfast and all eastern connections, but
on account of the increasing demand an
other train has been put on and now
leaves Kansas City, Atchison and st. Jo-
seph in the morning, placing the passen-
ger in st. Louis in the early evening of
the same day.
Omaha and Council Bluffs are put in
rapid communication with the lower Mis-
souri, river points by two superb daily
trains, one leaving Kansas City late in
the morning and the other in the evening,
making the run from Kansas City in
about eight hours. The morning train
carries through buffet sleeping car to
St Paul and Minneapolis, placing the
passenger in the twin cities twenty hours
after leaving Kansas City.

Newspapers and Their Friends

A newspaper, if it has any brains, con-
science and muscle back of it, must con-
tinually decide between doing its duty
and injuring its pocket. In any position
but that of an editor the public is able to
separate the individual homo from the
collective citizen. But if the editor does
not please them, it's his pocket they aim
at. Thus it is that newspapers learn who
their friends are. The man who reads a
newspaper and admires it all the year
around, yet gives his business support to
some other concern, whose principles he
detests, is not friend of the former pa.
per.
Admiration alone will not run news
paper. Sooner or later such admirers
will find that the object of their affections
has become welded to other ways that
they do not admire-in other words, a
newspaper is compelled, in order to live,
to seek the friendship of those who are
not so platonic in their love, but unite
that practical esteem with sentiment that
binds mutual admiration in other profess
sions. There are too many men who ex-
pect an editor to slave in defense of their
pet notions and hobbies, advocate their
views against the strongest opposition
and coolly Withhold the business support
by which alone a small newspaper can
live.
Talking about a newspaper having a
public duty to perform, and an editor hav.
ing to labor for his principles, is cheap
when others stand back and, while exten.
ding lukewarm neutrality with one
hand, are filling their pockets with the
other hand as result of the editors la
Dor for his principles, which they admire
but do not support.-CInton ENTERPRISE

The Way We Size Up.
Communicated.

Last year we published statement oil
what the assessor found in Adair precinc,
and this year we have obtained from the
same source another set of figures with
which we make the following comparison
This will fail to draw the second glance
perhaps, from the general reader, but
may not be uninteresting to the Adair
subscriber and, if printed, will undoubt-
eddy be put in for his perusal only. We
find 523 acres now under fence and in
stead of 270 bushels of wheat on hand,
we have 1905. Our people had 6545
bushel of corn last year and notwith-
standing total failure of that crop, have
still 395 bushel more on hand. By the
failure of that crop the number of hogs
have decreased from 112 to GA and by the
same cause the value of animals slaugh-
tered fell from $1105 to $769.
There is also decrease in the acreage
of corn from 11SO to SO7 acres, of pota-
toes, "A to 81; of barley from Ii to II; oats
$50 to Us; sorghum from 1T to 135 acres
and the 100 bushels of millet last year is
short of that figure now, Al acres. This
is due, not to loss of faith but to such
an enormous increase in the acreage of
wheat. Instead of 1851 acres of this GER
cal sown as in the fall of 1889 there is an
increase of $50 acres making 2541 acres
of this crop now in. This increase nearly
doubles the decrease in the other grains.
There are IS acres more of rye and 4 acres
more of spring wheat. We have 265 or
81 head more of horses than last year, II
instead of 1S mules, (Where is that mule?)
and 81 more mich COWS. The people sold
STA worth of eggs, and it looks as though
they intended economizing because there
are 46 dogs instead of 48 CThis must be
"Epp."-The dogs we mean.-No we
don't.-We mean the dogs that Epp own
ed. Now we have it, These figures are
not for Ogallah township but simply the
46 sections known as Adair Precinct.
The only change we notice in
the rest of the township is that Yves.
Marquand calls himself the head of a
family and says that counting himself
there are two members of that family.
The only lunatic in the precinct is the
writer and he don't count for enough to
be placed on the books.

Advantages of a Musical Education

Advantages Of q Musical Education
Read before the Ladies Literary Society BY Mrs
g. Diebold.
Necessity of musical education fol
our children" I would like to change IN
to the advantages of a musical education
for our children, as see no real necessi-
ty. To me this subject contains great
deal, and there are SO many ideas. con-
tanned therein, it is difficult to know just
how to begin, and just where to stop. In
the first place think the study OF music
is ga ioy forever" The slight knowledg
which I possess enables me in meas
ure to comprehend how much real hap
piness is to be gained from thorough
understanding of the principles of music;
and if we can add to that a just apprecia-
ton and understanding of all that's mus
ical, in our own souls, in others and in
the world in general, this gift is of inesti-
mable value. We all have more or less
poetry in our natures and at one time
music and poetry were inseparable, the
singers being poets, and the poets, singers,
giving birth to words and music at the
same time. The separation of the two ell
emeuts into two distinct arts has not divor-
ced them, and I hold that il we cannot
teach our children. or have them taught
classical music, it Is our duty, to start
them in that direction if they have any
real love and talent for the art. If not
and we are aware of 1t, think it very
foolish to have them spend time and
money simply that they may be versed in
one of the accomplishments. We all
know of the man of whom Shakespeare
wrote who had no Emusic in his soul"
I think such as these are few and far be-
tween AND if we encourage a love for
music in our children, though we discov-
or no especial talent in that direction it
will 60 with them through life, helping
them to shut out many jarring discords.
There are few people who do not enjoy
good music and we would like to have
pleasure they would give others. While
some receive good remuneration in teach.
ing music, it is not best to educate them
wholly with thatidea, as there are so many
employments, not involving half the la
Dor and expense which pay better. So
teach the children for the restful inhu-
ence it brings. Longfellow says:
"The night shall be filled with music
And the cares that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents as Arabs
And as quietly steal away.
There seems to be but little time in
this busy world for music and happy is
the person that can catch that little as
they go through; and hold to the opin-
ion that there will be time and opportu-
nifty for those who love music in the here
after. The poet says:
''It may be that Deaths bright Angel
Will speak in that Chord again,
1t may be that only in Heaven,
We shall hear that grand Amen"

The Newtown bee., 1891-01-23

One of the most enjoyable sleighing
parties that ever went out of NeWtown
was that, Monday evening. 1t was con-
Quoted by the Clover whist club and
joined in most heartily by the Yule's, as
is evidenced the una nimity with which
they turned out. The destination was
Curtis hotel, Woodbury., a drive of -
miles through the famous Housatonic
and Pomperaug valleys. The night was
perfect, the moon lighting up the land
scape brilliantly and setting forth beau
tifully one of the grandest scenes one is
seldom permitted to enioy-an ice storm
that covered every tree, Shrub and fence
and made grand beyond description by
the silvery light of the moon. Landlord
Curtis's hearty welcome made every one
at once at home and each proceeded to
make the most of the all too short time
to be spent under this hospitable roof.
The supper was excellent and was thor
oughly discussed by the so "Hillites.
Streets and Hookers'' present. Next in
order was dancing, entered into with
great gusto, the music being by Cams
celebrated orchestra; and right here we
must make particular mention of the
rich, rare and tracy" vocal renditions by
the Messrs Cam, who brought down the
house with such soul stirring ballads as
"a lock on the chicken coop door, +" "Lit
tie Annie -" and other ancient and mod
ern ditties. The only marring feature of
of the whole affair was that the long
drive made an early departure necessary.
And the drive HONEYWELL, there is no
use trying to describe it-but we warrant
that the whole affair will long be pleas
antly cherished in the memory of every
one present. May the Yule's and Glow
er's live long to enjoy many such affairs !!

him to Newtown lookup, Saturday night.
Monday, when brought up for trial, he
