CLAFLIN.

From the Banner.
Wheat fields are In fine condition.
Mrs. Fryberger, mother of our gro
ceryman, visited friends and relatives
here the first of the week.
Clafin handles more hardware and
farm machinery than any other point on
the line west of Salina, which is positive
evidence that we are surrounded by a
prosperous farming community.
While driving spikes one day last
week, Jack Burns came near having an
eye put out. In striking he missed the
spike and it glanced and hit just below
the eye.
This is splendid spring for putting
out an orchard, and Judging from the
large amount of trees that have been
delivered here this spring, our people
will raise their own fruit In the near
future.

Thus we find that this model COM
munistic institution has taken from
the people in taxes during the last five
years the enormous sum of nearly
twenty-nine millions of dollars. What
private concern would run its business
and lose more than Eve millions of
dollars yearlyp Did you farmers and
working men ever think who gains
most by cheap postage? Not you, be-
cause you do not mail an average of
one letter a day. The rich gain; the
big monopolies and the great wholesale
houses that mail tons of matter yearly
are the gamers, and you are compelled
to make up the deficit in the postal
revenue out Of your hard earnings.
Do you farmers and workingmen in
Kansas use the telephone? If not,
what in the name of common sense do
you want to tag yourselves to give
cheap telephones to the rich and

for it. and not tax you and me for a

Water.

1t is with a degree of satisfac-
tion that am able to announce to the
patrons of the water works that from
this time on they will be furnished
with bountiful supply Of pure soft
water taken from the new seventy-two
foot wells. This satisfaction is not
from the results of any ordinary
achievement, but is from the fact that
L have made success of what has been
heretofore expensive failures. 1t
affords me still more satisfaction to
say thatthe Company which represent
are ever desirous and willing to do far
more than the present revenues will
justify towards making every improve
ment which it seems to them will better
the water service. and it is hoped and
believed that all these things will be
duly appreciated by the people of this
community, and will finally work to
the mutual advantage of all concerned.
1t is believed also that they have every
thing to offer now that it is possible
for any water Co. to furnish. 1t is hoped
that in consideration Of the foregoing
the company may receive your liberal
patronage. Take water in your shop,
your store, your Office and residence
and believe you viii find it cheaper
in the end tEan renewing your deep
we'll occasionally and keeping up your
pu mp, besides it is far more convenient.
Iwould be very glad to give you any
information concerning the water rates
and the cost of putting il in. All visits
to the works or Office will be gladly
received.

Well-to-do Immigrants.

From the Baltimore American of a
recent date we take the following con-
cerning class of immigrants that are
arriving in America, Aand of whom any
state should be proud to get as citizens:
If the class of immigrants that arrived
here last Friday on the Norddeutscher
Lloyd Steamship STUTTGART" from
Bremen is forerunner of what are to
come, then, indeed, immigrants will
become blessing in the future, and
not plague. The one thousand, four
hundred and twtentyfour persons on
the Stuttgart had in actnal cash, and
mostly in American money, gold, silver
and notes, at least $4,000. This was
exclusive of their baggage and what
they wore. No person had less than
S5, and he was poor, indeed. One
family had So, 500, another 81 200; half
dozen had at least ST. 600 each, a
dozen $500 each; another man had a
check for 1900 marks, equal to $5, 500
in cashe and his son had $4,000 in
American money! another, with a
desire TO become farmer or cattle
king in the boundless west, had $4,000
to back .ur his desire; an Austrian
waiter had 500, and he will stay in
Baltimore, and So on the list runs.
Nearly all those having $500 Or more
went west to Nebraska and Kansas,
their one desire seeming to de to settle
on farms. The above figures are taken
from the reports Of the registrars to
Commissioner Stockbridge, and as they
go to Washington for filing, they are
strictly accurate.8
Nebraska will doubtless get the bulk
of those people, as the cranky laws Of
Kansas have been held up in their
worst light to all Germans coming to
this country.

THE Beacon editor does not say
whether or not he expects, or wants
any democrats to vote for Jerry for
congress this fall. He is a regular ''art-
full dodgeF" /" but he always manages to
bump his big head on something else
when he tries to dodge direct question.
He believes that the democrats of this

The Hoisington Blade.

This is the name that Col. Joe Bord-
ers' new paper at Hoisington bears. It
is a neat, eight column folio, and is
chuck full of local news, giving Prom
ise of being strong rival of the Dis
patch. AS to his reasons for being
"strictly in it'' Col. Borders says:
1--WE would not have our readers be-
lieve for nom ent that we regard this
venture as a profitable one, and it is
not with that idea that we appear be-
fore you in this raiment. This is said
for the reason that the writer has some
little fame as a fnancier which might
wane in the eyes of some of our friends
if they thought had belief that there
was money in a country newspaper.
No, my friends, it is for the love and
devotion for the work that impelled Us
on to this venture; we do not expect to
make penny in the enterprise for our
own profit, but do believe that we will
be the means of making a few coppers
for those who are interested in Hois-
ington and Barton county. It was
always our good fortune to be the
instrument for good to our fellow men,
and we. know of nothing that has
caused US to lose any of those charac-
teristics, but feel that our work in this
direction will not be in vain. This is
no new work for us, as we have owned
or have been interested in newspapers
from the age of ten to the present time
it is our home. We are lost, so to
speak, when not connected in some way
with a newspaper. Is this sufficient
excuse for our part in this enterprise
that we hope will be a power of good
for our people?
THE democrat editor in Kansas
occupies a peculiar, yet important
position in politics. He is like
Winkelrieth, the Tyrolean hero, who
grabbed and pressed the spears of the
Austrian knights into his own bosom
in order to give his fellow patriots an
opportunity to break the lines fmas-
sive steel and club the unwieldy Knight
to the ground. Always in the front
rank of battle, loyal to his flag and
forgetful of self interest, he sometimes
becomes the prey of designing politi-
clans. Like brave and loyal Uriah of
old, who possessed beautiful wife
upon whom King David was casting
his lustful eyes, and who by order of
the old libertine was placed in the
most dangerous position in battle and
killed, that David might secure his
treasure-so the democratic editor
blind to danger. devoid of sel6shness
and imbued with loyalty, is abandoned
in the heat of battle and among the
concentrated fire of the enemy by the
wiley politician who rushes back over
the field hunting for spoils. Political
opponents have exhausted the vOcabu
larry of the English language to find
words strong, odious. YeRomoqs and
sulphuEous enough to express their uttel
hatred of the democratic editor OF
Kansas, while the politician is hiding
safely from view, like old David watch
| ing for his opportunity.-Le Roy Re
