OGALLAH, April 16. 1891,
Now AND THEN.

OGALLAH, April Is, 1891.
Garden making is the order.
Alvin Frogge has full line of new
groceries.
G. G. Yetter is putting in the week set
ting out trees in Wa-Keeney.
Eli McCollum one of Trego's most sue
cessful farmers is putting in large crop
of millet.
Wind made skeleton of the mill over
the town we'll last Monday. More repairs
necessary or everyone will have to pump
his own water.
Lightning butchered a yearling yester-
day for Miss Nora Yetter, but as no one
seemed to want any beef it was left for
the coyotes.
VIM. Brabb. yesterday shipped two car
loads of wheat from impoverished Trego
county. We presume they went to feed
the sufferers in the eastern part of the
state.
The work of taking up trees at the for
estry is rapidly going forward. We under
stand that the lateness of the work pre-
vented paying any attention to applicants
but that any one on the ground could get
all the trees he wanted.
Farmers are rushed.

In his despair he and friend named

drove home after it pine plug. The

over his rival, and brought her to the

never thought it necessary to reclaim the

The Earth Growing in Weilht

1t hardly seems possible that the earth
could increase in weight appreciably
from the meteoric hail to which it is
subjected. The few shooting stars one
sees seem utterly incapable of producing
any noticeable increase. 1t is not these,
of which even a close observer could
scarcely count an average OF four an hour
on clear night, but the myriads Of
lesser ones that are never seen, unless,
accidentally crossing the field of al OBJ.
servers telescope, that produce the re-
suit. These lesser ones are Of such slight
weight that the small amount of light
caused by their combustion in the earth's
atmosphere is not visible to the haked
eve. However, these little fellows are
continually bombarding the earth day
and night, year in, year out, finally
reaching the surface as a fine dust. This
increase in weight amounts to about
ninety thousand tons year ata very
moderate calculation.-Ns0 York Re-

"We have a great many young fellows

The Mound Builders.

It's generally believed that the Mis-
sissippi Valley and the Atlantic coast
were once populated by an agricultural
and partially civilized race quite differ
ent from the nomadic Indians, and that
after centuries of occupation they disap-
peared-at least thousand aud perhaps
many thousand years before the advent
of Europeans. The theory has been ad-
vanced that these people migrated from
Asia; that they passed over Asia to ST.
IBERIA, across Behring Straits, down the
Pacific coast of America from Alaska
and to the Mississippi Valley, and down
to Mexico, Central America and Peru.
The remains of the Mound Builders, as
this vanished people are called, are scat
tered over most of the States Of the cen
tral aud lower Mississippi Valley, along
the banks Of the Missouri and Oh the
sources of the Allegheny. They are
most numerous in Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, WiscOn-
sin, Kentucky, Florida, Arkansas, Ten.
nessee, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, west
ern part of New York and Iowa. These
mounds vary greatly in size, in some in-
stances being very extensive and exceed
ingly intricate, notably those Of tho
Licking Valley, near Newark, o., which
cover au area Of two square miles; in
other localities there are some which
reach hight OF ninety feet. 1t is not
believed that these people had any writ
ten languagc,a no inscriptions or tablets
vet discovered indicate this. Many OF
these mounds have been found to cOn-
tain skeletons, numerous implements and
ornrlnents, usually composed of stone,
sometimes of copper-in its native state
and occasionally shell and bone; also
coarse and rude pottery of curious de-
sign. In substantlation Of the belle
that these people came from Asia is the
fact that in Siberia mounds have beer
found similar to those in the Mississippi
Valley.-DelroU Free Press.

II, but it IS the sickly beauty Of potted

You need not go home with these peo-
pie to find out their wretchedness. They

human faces are interesting. Bat
among the richer people the emotions are
hidden by long schooling or softened by
