FROM THE CAROLINA VALLEY.
The moonlight lies on Pisgah's crown,
where oak and pine tree rear their head,
The miSts Of night have settled down
And by the Whispering river spread;
But DER the veil, against the sky
The mighty mountain towers high
The moonlight sheds its silver stream,
And bathcs the distant mountain height;
Within the vale watch and dream
Surrounded by Il lesser light
red star sinking in the west
seems on the mountain-top to rest
count the star Z beacon fire,
That hiazes forth to stir the heart,
And move the soul to high desire
To play on earth better part
and star and moon their spell have wrought,
For wakes the mind 10 higher thought.

Dintheria.

Diptheria in malignant form has ap-
peared in the southern part of our COUNTY.
Only the most active measures and a strict
observance of sanitary laws will prevent the
spread of this dread disease, which during
the year 1880 caused more than one half the
deaths occurring from all causes in the
United States.
Do not go where the disease is if you can
help it; and above all do not let your child
rem go where the disease is. Permit no one
to come to your home who has been where
it is.
From your dwelling Danish all filth, disin-
feet all privy vaults. Diptheria is a disease
Of fifth, and is preventable.
When the disease gets away from the first
cases and spreads in community some
body is to blame. This disease certainly de-
mands our best efforts for its suppression,
as its treatment Is as yet unsatisfactory.
We ask the aid of every citizen of our county
in its restriction and suppression.

says he is the fastest horse west of the river.
There will be some very good racing along
about the last of the month. There is
enough race horses in Sherman coun ty to
make good race meeting, but it is under
stood that a stable of horses are coming
from Sharon Springs and another one from
Colby. 1t is also expected that Lizzie Nor
ton will be here, as there is some talk Of a
match between her and Ben Harrison. This
would attract quite a crowd of people. In
anticipation of this event taking place the
track has been fixed up and all the fast
horses are being put in shape. Ben. Harri-
son will be taken to Denver the first of June
to be entered in the free-for-all races.

Herman Zeitung, the Austrian tailor who
created sensation a couple of years age
by having himself nailed in box and
shipped from Vienna to Paris, is on his
peculiar travels once more. He is now
in Paris again, where he had himself
shipped from St. Petersburg recently on
his way to the Worlds fair. Since his first
visit to Paris Zeitung has visited all the
capitals of Europe in his peculiar fashion,
travelling at one time in barrel, then in a
bale of hay, next in trunk and finally in a
washing machine.
In St. Petersburg he had narrow escape
from being sent to Siberia. The police
mistook him for dangerous anarchist, and
it was only by the intervention of the Aus
trian consul that he was at last released.

Waited on the Queen For Forty Years.

From England comes an item which may
interest those who are curious about court
customs. The dowager Duchess of Athoie,
who has been lady in waiting to the
queen for nearly 40 years, and who was
mistress of the robes in Lord Derby's first
administration, is acting mistress of the
robes during the months of February,
March and April. The duties of the office
will be undertaken by the dowager Ouch
ess of Roxburghe during May, June and
July. The mistress of the robes attends
the queen at all court and state functions
and is expected to be present at the draw
ing rooms, the state balls and the state
concerts. The dowager Duchess of Rox-
burghe has been lady in waiting on the
queen for more than so years, and in length
of service she comes second only to the
dowager Duchess of Athole, the third place
being filed by the dowager Lady Churchill

Some time since the Kansas City Star
announced that prayers were being offered
in Italy to the Almighty to send a rain and
that in Kansas the rain makers were at
work trying to make rain on their own hook.
Since then we have watched the result Of
the two methods and we are not surprised
to find that the rain machine triumphed.
Prayers are all right in their way, but are
not a success unless coupled with one Of
Goodland's triple expansion rain machines.
The Almighty evidently still practices the
old theory that "God helps those that help
themselves"
