London, Dec 1S-Letters received by London
commercial firms from their agents in Rio
Janciro give gloomy descriptions of the pres
ent state Of affairs there The letters are dated
November 81. The employees of houses on the
Nictheroy side of the bay were then almost
prisoners. During the day they were afraid TO
go out into the business part OF the city. FROM
dawn to nightfall cannon were booming ana
small arms kept up ratting fire. shot. large
and small dropped in the streets. making those
who were Obliged TO be abroad constantly fear
full for their safety.

Soldiers stop and rob people in the streets.
Even the police assist the soldiers in stopping
ard searching pedestrians as they say lor

the advice Of the British Minister business

occasions.

Conway Springs Star.

The rain Monday evening did a
great deal Of good, but more rain
would not hurt anything. Some
mighty queer weather we have had
this week. Heavy rains fell in the
eastern part Of the state.
Some people thought the growing
wheat here was suffering for rain, but
guess it isn't now. Conductor Holmes
tells us that the outlook is very gloomy
for crops west of Larned. He says
they will raise very little out there
this year.
Jesse Duncan was in Wednesday
and tells US that he thinks the
freeze last Friday night killed most
of the peaches and apricots in bloom
at that time and also thinks the ap-
pie crop was greatly damaged. He
thinks there will be plenty of plums
and cherries if they are not injured
later on. Mr.. Duncan has quite an
extensive vineyard and watches the
fruit prospect pretty closely. A
freeze that would lnjure the fruit at
this time of year was never before
known in this country. This is an
unusual year all around, it seems. q.

From the Milan Pres.

Parties who have investigated the
matter say that the recent freezes
have greatly injured the prospects for
a fruit crop, peach buds especially
having suffered severely from the ef-
fects of the cold snap.
On Friday last as VIM. Carter was
coming from his place to town after
a load of lumber one of the wheels of
his wagon dropped suddenly into a
deep rut in the road, precipitating
him from the hounds on which he was
seated to the ground, breaking one of
the bones Of his leg just above the
ankle.
A. NJ. Miller, living two miles west
of Milan, has curiosity in the shape
Of an apple tree. The tree is about
four inches in diameter, is in full
bloom, has not had any bark on for a
foot from the ground and is as dry
and dead as a bone, and above the
dead foot of the trunk the tree is as
green and, to all appearances, as
alive as ever. No tree was ever fuller
OF bloom.

Another Surmise.

Hon. James A. Ray, DEAR JUDGE:
Your esteemed favor of the 10th
was duly delivered and beg pardon
for not giving it more prompt atten-
tion. The fact is. we have been some
what over-supplied with good things
for our columns and had to give Col.
Showalter a hearing, he having first
claim on our space. Again, we were
somewhat paralyzed after looking
over the letters you had presented,
and it took some little time to get
over the shock we received in finding
the letters in our possession with full
liberty to use them in catering to the
"depraved tastes of our readers" First
we were surprised that a Republican
of your known proclivities would al
low such good things to ever escape
the privacy of your most sacred doc
uments. We hardly know how to
thank you for contributing such val
liable matter to our obscure sheet.
And how extremely kind of you to
inform us that we are pledged
to support a Democrat to succeed
you" as Judge. But for your kind.
ness we might have remained "pledg-
ed" all the days of our life without
having the faintest idea of the awful
dilemma we were really in. 1t was
certainly revelation to us and if you
will now kindly inform us by whom
and to whom We stand pledged" we
shall feel as if We have emerged from
Egyptian darkness into the Sunlight
of day. Sure enough ''sume of our
readers" will be as curious to know
this as we were surprised.
BY the way. dear Judge, since YOU
are so free to assume concerning the
VOICES editor, will you be kind
enough to allow us to try our hand:
People who do not know YOU stole a
horse would be curious to know what
you did with the animal.
OF course We shall take great pleas
ure in publishing the letters. Also
in having them stereOtyped for future
use. They are entirely too good for a
single insertion in our "obscure
sheet" 1t is our desire that every
voter in the county shall have a
chance to read them. We may be too
sleepy to know when, where and how
we have been pledged to a Demo-
craft" but we do claim to know good
thing when We see it, and shall treas
ure the documents as being OF more
than ordinary value. Again thank
ing you, ReSpee fu y
