Corn.
Without exec ption reports indicate
that Kansas presents at this time an area
of growing corn the equal of which for
extent, evenness of stand, vigorous
growth, propitious soil conditions and
freedom from weeds has seldom if ever
been seen before in any state. The acre
age appears to have been increased dur
ing the month 10 per cent and perhaps
more by planting ground upon
which oats, spring wheat, ETC.,
had made an unpromsing start
The weather at this writing continues
very kindly to the corn. In some locali-
ties where there have been more or less
chinch bugs IN winter wheat fields the
harvest has caused their migration to
the borders of adjacent corn which if
backward and small they have left their
marks upon, but as yet not to any extent
likely to be appreciate in the states ag-
gregate product.

misses to be large the conditions of the
crop are widely varying even in coun-
ties adjoining; this applies not only 10

W. H. Gallagher of Dupuyer re-
turned from Kalis Del last evening.
Mr.. Gallagher. intends to have
about eighty acres Of land adjoin-
ing the Dupuyer townsite surveyed
and plated Immediately as an ad-
dition to the present townsite. He
will also commence work, as soon
as material can be got here, on a
hotel building that he estimates
will cost 50, 600. A large livery
and feed stable will be built in con-
nection with the hotel, while an
other building 20x40, two stories
high, will be erected to be used for
offices and business purposes. Mr..
Gallagher brings us best wishes
from the Kalispel people in u race
for the county seat.
The Bynum postmaster has
caught onto a new scheme for ad-
vertising the townsite company OF
that place. When the mail which
passes through Bynum was taken
out of the sack at Dupuyer the
other day, envelopes, newspaper
wrappers, and in fact everything
that could be stamped, we're COW
cred with "Work and Voc for By.

course this a good, cheap way Of
advertising, but unfortunately peo'
pie may not fancy having their mai.
mutilated in this way, nor does the
government pay mail carriers te
carry on a free advertising bust
ness, as perhaps the P. M. at By
mum will find to his cost. Bynun
must be hard pushed when they
have to resort to such cheap ways
as this to influence votes.

The brass and bronze trade is kept
alive by the religious customs of the
Hindoos. who are not allowed to use
wooden and earthenware vessels freely,
and brass and bronze are TO them as i'm
portant as glass and china to the west
erners. Almost all Hindoo utensils are
ef brass, copper or bronze, and it is the
custom TO present the female portion Of
. Hindoo family with a valuable bat
Serie de cuisine, made either of brass or
copper, and still existing Hindoo GER
emony is that of carrying the utensils in
. procession at the wedding. The result
of this custom is that almost all the
platters, trays, bowls, nut crackers and
all brass and copper utensils are most
beautifully ornamented, and there are
lovely combinations Of brass and copper
and silver and copper. All Hindoo wo-
men used to have lovely brass casketS
covered with ornamentafions called chel-
lams, manufactured in Malabar, in
which they kept their jewels, but these
are fast being replaced by the vulgar
