This is about the time married men

There is probably not bachelor in

The present moon is what weather

If predictions be true we are going
to have a larger emmigration to this
country this spring than for a number
of years. People are beginning to rea-
lize that there is money in farming in
Kansas, with less expenditures then in
any other country in the world.
Crop statistics show larger acreage
of wheat in the vicinity of Ellinwood
than any other place in the state. Be

for EllinwOOd after harvest.

JOHN j. INGALLS, stated in his re-
cent speech at Topeka that he voted for
the Mckinley bill, not because he con-
sidered it good bill, but because it
was purely party measure. A party
that can accept the assistance of such
a stultifier as that and lay claims to
being the party of great moral excel

BRO. TowNsLEY has got another
hoss'' on Bro. O'Bleniss in the follow
ing editorial that appeared in last
weeks Tribune:
Mr.. O'Bleniss of the Claflin Banner
is candidate for the legislature. We
suspected there was something of this
kind when he wondered if the republi-
can county officials would remember
him for faithful services in their behalf.
Mr.. O'Bleniss, as his name indicates,
is French gentleman, and but recent
ly came over, and of course his candi-
dacy is merely a joke. AS he belongs
to the ring, he is bound by Its rules to
be candidate for something. and like
his boss, Mr.. Caraway. he goes for an
Office that he knows he can never get,
hoping thereby to strike something less
on his way down; such as town clerk
or deputy constable.

JERSEY MlsTLETOE.
The Beautiful Parasite Found in the
Spottswood swamp.


From the New Brunsuic tick Fredontdn.
This morning Constable Phineas NJ.
Brown, OF Spottswood. brought us a
beautiful branch Of mistletoe, which has
recently been found in large quantities
in a swamp near that village.
The mistletoe is a parasitic plant grow
ing upon the oak, gun and some other
trees. but it is very rarely found IN this
country. 1t has a small. green. smooth
leaf and small. oval. white berries that
look like polished wax or pearl.
It is supposed that this mistletoe may
nave been growing unnoticed IN the To-
cality where it was found for at least
forty or fifty years, judging from the
size it has attained, but it was never dis
covered until last summer, when, MT.
Brown being cunning one day, noticed a
strange growth high on a large gum tree,
and had the curiosity TO climb up ami
Investigate it. when he found it was a
miSletue.
He kept a ponderous silence on the sub
ject of his find. and today he gathered a
large quantity of the rare aud beautiful
evergreen aud shipped it to Newark, to
be sold for Christmas decorations.
The misleloe is very we'll known and
highly esteemed in England as a decora-
ton for winter festive occasions, but it is
very rarely found in any considerable
| quantity in this region.

ROAD NOTES.

A paragraph which will amuse railroad
men appeared last week in a Morris
county paper. Here 1t is: ''The Delaware,
Lackawanua & Western Railroad people
have issued notice that all conductors
promoted during the past four years will
become brakemen, and all brakemen
recently employed are suspended. This
is due to a falling off in the coal trade, an
exchange says"
Conductor Gus Read is said to be the
best judge of beats on the Morris & Essex
division.
Henry Boyd is one Of the most popular
ticket puuchers on the Long Branch d.
vision of the Central.
Captain o. II. Day. conductor on the
Central, is off on a three months leave OF
absence, and will spend the time travel
ing through the South.
The Lawawanna has issued orders that
loose tickets from the family books must
be refused, and that all coupons must be
detached from the little blue books by the
conductors.
The Central Railroad OF New Jersey
will in a few days test the new Boluss air
brake. After repeated conferences with
the officials of the road the inventor has
succeeded in having the trial OF his patent
granted. Unlike the ordinary air brake,
very little of the compressed air is wasted
when in use, the surplus being exhausted
back into the receiver This will make it
particularly effective on steep grades. At
q recent test a train OF three cars running
at a rate of forty-eight miles an hour was
stopped in nineteen seconds in u distance
of 63 2feet.
The daktugraph or thumb written
ticket is the outcome of a Detroit genius's
| efforts to defy the scalper. 1t is we'll
known that the lines in the cuticle of nc
two thumbs are alike. The inventor of
the new ticket takes advantage of this
fact by requiring the purchaser of an
iron-clad TICKET to make a print OF his
thumb in a blank space at one end re-
served for this purpose. The extremity
of this space, which is about three inches
long, is gummed, SO that after the thumb
signature is made the end Of the ticket
may be folde over. hiding the signature
from view. On the return journey the
conductor opens the gummed end. expos
ing the imprint of the thumb, and re
quires the holder of the ticket to make
another imprint of his thumb alongside
the first for Identification. The con
ductor is expected to carry a little pad o.
coloring matter to enable the passenger
to perform this duty. 1t is not stated
whether the railroad will require its rep
resentative to carry a wash basin fol
cleansing the thumb after being used a:
a stamp.

Yesterdays Big Bond Sale.

1t is a matter for congratulation to
all citizens that the credit of the city
stands we'll. The sale of 5000, 600 of
bonds yesterday at 104.64 was a very
advantageous operation. Not only
does the city clear all the expenses of
refunding, and more, out of the
premium, but it is also effects a hand
some reduction OF interest charges,
SO, 600 a year on this particular block
of securities.
OF course the sale is not of the
extra double gilt edged kind. 1t is
not to be compared with the opera
tions of other cities which can borrow
all the money they want at 81 and 4
per cent. at par, or even at a small
premium. The fact that we still have
to offer five per cent. to tempt in
vestors is a somewhat expensive re-
minder of old ring rule in the days
before Mr.. Robert Davis became
reformed. 1t is not too gratifying to
our civic vanity to see the City of
Camden, with a population about one
fourth of ours in numbers and with
not a tenth of our wealth and indus
tries, float its bonds at Al per cent. in
terest and still get a premium on
them, while Bayonne bonds command
almost as good a premium as ours do.
The records of these facts, neverthe-
less, are to be found in u news
columns today.
But the transaction is the best in
the financial history of the city, and
as such it must be regarded with
pleasure, both-fo for it's intrinsic merits
and as an evidence of progress. 1t
hurts us, as democrats, to nave to
avow it; but truth compels US to ad-
nit that the regime of Mayor Wanser
has had much to do with the advance
in the city's credit. General Wansel
enjoys a high reputation in New
York. The recent campaign left him
the undisputed title to cleanness OF
intention and conservatism of method.
His subsequent course, even when ii
has not met with general endorsement
here. has confirmed the idea abroad
that, SO iongsas he presides over the
fortunes of the city, no money will be
wasted or stolen.
