The only thing that seems to
trouble railroads now is, that they
have not the cars to move the tremen-
dous lot of stuff that IS offered them. |
The c., L. & O is particularly en-
barrassed and has had to give orders
to refuse freight for couple OF days,
Kansas farmers are sometimes
obliged to burn corn for fuel, but the
time is coming when they need not
burn the husks. That will come to
pass when a few paper mills are es-
tablished in the state. A good quail
ty of paper is now manufactured from
corn husks. which Will in consequence
become In time valuable-Er.

their friends on last Monday evening
at the Office of r. F. Stiason, in the
State Bank block Progressive high
five was the amusement of the eve
ming, after which an elegant New

credit upon those who had it in charge.

A somewhat serious accident hap
pened to Sir. and Mrs. Samuel Plot
ner on last Friday morning. While
I driving to town their team became
frightened at a freight train and ran
away upsetting the wagon and throw
ing them out They were both badly
bruised up and somewhat injured,
but are getting along now as we'll as
, could be expected. The wagon was
completely demolished and it was in
deed a miracle that both of them
were not fatally injured as they are
quite old and feeble.
The Dispatch seems to be very
much worried about the HERALD's
public patronage" Why, bless you
Mac, we have ali the work we can at
tend to, and it comes from a large
= number of the business men of Phil
lipsb1rg, some of whom have told Us
they would not deal with You If YOU
were publishing the only newspaper
in Kansas. Yes Mac, the HERALr
r will be here and hourishlng at the
a time it is called upon to publish the
: DispGtcl's obituary in the form of a
Sherif's Sale, even though we hav,
: to "hold the paper back twenty-foul
hours to get the notice.
