Tomorrow evening the Georgia Min
strels appear in the opera house. The
company is a good one and the Denver
Republican of a late day says of the com
pany:
The opera house was packed to the
doors last night and the audience was
kept in the best Of humor by the fine
singing, dancing and generally clever
work of Richards & Pringle's Georgia
Minstrel company. The performance
they give is more original and better than
that Of many more p~retentious organize
tons. The matinee and this evenings
performance will doubtless be largely at

wyoming Division Employees.

There are AIS engineers and iremen
and S44 conductors and brakesmen en-
ployed on the Wyoming division OF the
Union Pacific. This extends from Chey-

shopmen and mechanics. The salary list

Der of employees is concerned, for there is
no CONSTRUCTION work beng done along the

A GYMNAsIUM ASSURED.
Eight Thousand Dollars Secured for
Its Construction.

The Turnvereln society composed of
German citizens was formed a few
months ago aud by subscriptions from the
members and other citizens they secured
the 81, 100 with which they purchased a
piece of ground 92xS6 ON the northeast
corner OF Sixteenth and Themes streets.
For some time past the society has been
in correspondence with the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Association of st. Louis
and the result of this was shown 10 the
arrival here yesterday Of Mr.. George
Krug, general western manager of the
association. At a meeting of the society
held last night Mr. Krug appeared and
upon the showing made a loan covering a
period of years aud bearing a low rate of
interest was made through him of the
Anheuser-B us company.
Plans will now at once be made for the
construction of the Turnverein hall. The
building will very probably be of brick
and will cost. when completed not less
than $1,000. The main purpose Of the
building will be to provide a gymnasium
for the members of the society, but the
building will be arranged so that the main
room may be used as a banquet hall, ball
room or thsater. 1t will b, provided with
a fine stage suited for the presentation of
German dramas and will be provided with
a complete kitchen and all. other necessary
apartments.
The members of the Turnvertin were
feeling in a very pleasant mood last even
ing and they are certainly 10 be congratu-
lated on the success of their enterprise.

Grain is moving from the west at
an enormous rate. The grain charters
in Chicago one day last week amount
ed TO almost two million bushels,
which was greater by several hundred
thousand bushels than any previous
record. The European demand con-
times and will keep up until our sur
plus is exhausted. The bulk of the
wheat is coming from Minnesota and
the Dakotas. Kansas is as rule hold
ing back her wheat and in Cherokee
county very little is offered for sale.
We believe in higher prices and would
advise holding back If possible until
the gold dollar can be obtained for
every bushel.

oALAMIrY oR pRosrEnIry.

We have word TO say TO me farm
ers of Cherokee county, with regard
to the financial outlook of the broad
state of Kansas, and Cherokee county
in particular. We take 1t you arc all
intelligent, educated men aud we
know that many Of you are capable
lof discussing political economy and
all the questions involved therein with
the professors of Yale College, but a
simple proposition comes up and we
wish you to decide il conscientiously,
fairly and dccisively.
The News is not u political news
paper and is not under the control OF
any party, clique or combine. We
have held aloof from discussing politi-
cal questions or measures, but we
claim the right TO defend the honor OF
the state of Kansas, protect our prop
erty interests and take part in any
movement that will be beneficial to
the interests of our people.
You cannot ignore the fact that our
fair land has been vi!lified and sland-
cred by u set of political demagogues
who have continuously sought 10 de-
press prices of land, drive emigration
form our borders and in every way
injure the reputation OF our citizens,
These miscreants, by PLAUSIBLE lictions.
have created large following in the
rural districts and hope to walk into
power over the ruin and dcsolaiion
they have caused in our midst. Can
you who have farms 10 sell and prop
eriy TO dispose of admit for one mo-
ment that this is the way to secure
purchasers? DO you think buyers
will he more anxious when they read
in The Modern Light week after week
leading editorials telling them that
nearly every farm owner in Kansas is
a pauper? What inducement is there
for a man to buy one of your farms
when the Modern Light tells him that
his farm will "soon pass into the hands
Of the mortgage company?"
The statistics of every county in the
state show that mortgages are fast be-
ing paid off by the big wheat crop
that has just matured and il stands to
reason that with our big corn crop,
hog products and cattle we will soon
be as sound financially as any state in
the Union. Every paper in the state
except the pessimistic Modern Light
is congratulating the Kansas farmer
on the bright outlook for the future,
but that sheet, in nthe face of provi-
dence and AL these facts, still keeps up
the dire disaster racket and expects
you 10 support it 10 the serious injury
of your credit and your property.
Kansas has produced In this year OF
our Lord 1891 over sixty million
bushels of wheat, forty million bushels
of oats and two hundred million
bushels Of corn, all of which, owing
to the failure of European crops, will
bring fair prices or in round numbers
over one hundred millions Of dollars,
to say nothing of rye, barley, flax, hay,
fruit, dairy products and live stock.
We are unable to say what our farm
er friends will do with this money.
They may use it for electioneering
purposes and succeed in putting all
the martyrs connected with the
Modern Light into fat offices, but we
trust some of it will he used III paying
off honest debts and that by another
year most of the mortgage indebted
ness on Kansas farms will be wiped
out of existence.

FIRED BY A SPARK.
A Thousand Square Miles OF Rich Farm
Lands Swept by Flames.

A Thousand square Miles of Rich Farm
Lands Swept by Flames.
One thousand square miles of rich farm
ing land in Faulk County, S. OAK, are black
with smoldering ashes, and hundreds Of
thousands of bushels of grain and tons OF
hay have gone up in smoke. The fire was
the worst ever known In Dakota Owing
to lack of communication in the northwest
ern part of the State. full particulars have
not yet been received. but enough is known
to arouse widespread sympathy.
Faux County has raised enormous crops
this year, and the farmers were busy thrash
ing. A spark from steam thrashing ma
chine near FsulktoD. ignited the dry stub
bic, and in q short time the flames had
spread over a stretch twenty miles wide
and were rushing over the prairie. Nothing
could stop them, and brisk southeast wind
was blowing and carried the sparks for u
half mile, while the tumble weeds, as large
and round as bushel baskets, rolled over in
terveuing ploughed fields and spread the
fire.
At Loyalton the citizens worked for eight
hours and barely saved their houses. but
lost all their crops and cattle. Dozens OF
farm-houses standing on the open prairie
were swept away with their outlying build
ings. Several other villages lay in the track
of the blaze, but were saved by the most deS-
perate exertions. The burned districts cover
an area twenty miles by fifty, and in all that
district there is not a tree or haystaek or
herd of cattle which escaped. So for no loss
of life is reported, but at least 1000 persons
are homeless.-Newark Journal.

A Clean Shave,

An Eastern barber who recently went
West says: "a clean shave is an abemina-
ton almost exclusively confined to the West.
1t is quite an unusual thing in the East. and
is something unheard of in Europe. A clean
shave means really taking off certain thick
ness of the skin, and the man who will sub
init to this torture for the looks deserves no
sympathy. To clean shave a man without
drawing blood is to prove ones self an artist,
and that is why Western man is popular
in the far East."-N. Y. Tribune.
