State Aid.

The board of railroad commissioners
have received replies from fifteen coun-
ties relative to the amount of aid they
will require in the shape of seed. Three
of the fifteen, viz: Sherman. Stanton
and Haskell decline to receive any aid.
The other twelve counties made requi-
sitions for seed grain and potatoes i'll
the aggregate as follows: Wheat, TO-
500 bushels; corn, $3.50 bushels; oats,
1880 bushels; millet, $3.50 bushels;
sorghum, 3,120 bushels; broom corn,
300 bushels; barley, 700 bushels; pota
toes, $500 bushels.
The aggregate cost of the above
would be $4,000, leaving but $4,000
of the 100000 appropriated by the leg
islature. There are seven or eight
counties yet to hear from, so it is evil
dent that the appropriation will not
cover the acquisitions in full and that
the board will have to pro-rate the aid
among the various counties.

he had bought safe few days before
and for the lack of room had put it in
the barn; there were few matches in
one of the drawers, and he thinks mice
must have, in some way, set them on
fire.
