AURORA.
Correspondents of the Argus.

NVtfcolonuCnCc OF the Argus.
Certainly this place deserves
more notice or space in your paper
than was made use of by CORE.
spondent two weeks ago, and by
your permission l will endeavor to
give few items.
Our farmers are just closing a
most excellet harvest. The wheat
crop is splendid and there has been
considerable quantities Of it raised
The varieties are Foulk's Prolific,
Red Chat, Club, and Blue Stem.
The former seems to be the favor
ito. From present appearance the
oats crop never was better it is
now being harvested and the bright
sunny weather is very favorable to
1t, and the grass when mown proved
to yield at least fifty per cent more
than the most sanguino expected.
Corn is looking we'll, and would be
refreshed by few showers. Pota-
toes never were better and large
crop is expected.
There is but little over half crop
of apples, and they arc by no means
perfect, hut even with that much
the farmers need not complain, for
1t will be more than needed for
home consumption.
This section is having quito a
boom in tho boarding business.
There are about one hundred at
Aurora and one hundred and fifty
at Brookside, which is only one
mile distant, and large number at
Eglon. There can be no doubt but
what this place is destined to be-
GENE more popular each succeeding
year. And what is to prevent it 4?
Situated as it is in this high alt-
tude, with an elevation over 5000
feet, at the extreme headquarters
of the Youghiogany River, and the
cool refreshing breeze of the ALLIE
gheny mountains continually i'm
motion, and an abundance of the
purest and best water that can be
found. 1t only needs little
energy and activity on the part of
its citizens to make it SO.
Our roads are in fair condition,
especially the road from hero to
Oakland. 1t is really a shame that
Portland district does not put IN
better condition its portion of the
road that leads from here to Terra
Alta. 1t would be the means OF
much more travel over that road
whereas it now goes to Oakland.
| will not eucroach upon your
space any more this time, and If
this letter docs not find its way into
the waste basket, l may write again.

A NEW CHAMPION.

Prof. Rufus Holden wears the
belt now and 81 Summers and Leyc
Dorton "aint in it" any more at
all in the snake line. The Profes-
sor returned Monday from trip
over on Shaggy Mountain, where
he went on n snake hunting expedi-
ton, accompanied by his brother
ln.law Mr.. Eugene Sommeryille, OF
Weston. They had great time
fishing and hunting, and baggei
five large rattlesnakes. One OF
them which tho Professor ran on 10
in the huckleberry bushes, took
couple of whacks at his leg, hut the
heavy leggins he wore saved him, rs
it couldn't bite through them.
The Professor brought the rattles
and one Of the snakes homo with
him TO prove his story. TIE sam
pie snake he brought with him is
full five feet long and has twelve
rattles and button and would be
formidable enemy to meet in it's
native home, but as it is stuffed
and on exhibition at Harry Potter's
Jewelry Store, IS now as harmless
as a mothers spanking. We bavo
no report Of tho amount OF liquor
used on the expedition, but judging
from our own experience, it was
about four quarts TO each snake.

The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-05-31

in the direction of Blaine for '92; and it now
appears that the contest will be repetition
OF 1884 so far as concerns the candidates,
the republicans on platform of silver,
while the democracy stands upon Growers
ground of gold and free trade. If this is to
be the nature of the battle, republicans Of
the west will go into the campaign full Of
enthusiasm and confident of victory.
Since that time, the Capital has
exerted its best efforts to show what
a fool it's editor was in 1890 and 1891,
and now it is becoming very weary in
thus "off year" because the Atchlson
Champion insists on still adhering to
the doctrine which the Capital and
the republican party were preaching
but two short years ago. Such is its
attitude now. What will it be next
year?
Commenting upon the deliberations
of the National Republican League
at Louisville, Ky, in double-leaded
editorial in the issue of May IA the
following utterance occurs:
The bugle blast that came up from the
Louisville national league convention had
in it the true ring Of aggressive and pro-
gressive republicanism. After an over
whelming national defeat, the party must
make its contest for supremacy upon new
lines adjusted to the issues of the present
time.
This indicates another change.
What will it be? For years the Cap
itaI has been laborlng to prove that
its editor was a fool in 1873. For
several months it has been endeavor-
ing to prove that he was fool in 1890
and 1891. The editorial paragraph
quoted above indicates that it will
soon undertake to prove that he is q
fool this year. We move to make it
unanimous on general principles and
require no further evidence.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-05-31

ditions have been brought upon the
country. It is ample time for reason
able, thinking men to open their eyes,
free themselves from party idolatry,
and institute the inquiry, What is
best to be done to save our country ?
Failing in this, our destiny is the
common destiny of the nations that
have preceded us and gone down into
the oblivion of eternal night.
