Nero and BIS Chair Throne.

The following is taken from the
Washington d. c. Times, of which ex-
Congressman Conn of Elkart, Ind, a
life long democrat, is editor.
Secretary Morton, in charge of the
rural department of the present adj
ministration, lays himself open to
suspicion of unduly initiating the heir
loom market.
At the reception given last night by
Secretary and Mrs. Morton to the
President and Mrs. Cleveland he
proudly produced chair for the Chief
Executives especial use, labeled in
silver with the special imperial name,
and sacred to the memory of this es-
pecial social sitting.
The name of Grover Cleveland on
the back of that Morton throne as it
sits in some future museum of an
tiquities will awaken peculiar memo
ries. AS mighty hunter whose I'M
erring aim has brought down scores of
feathered fowl, Grover will stand high
in the estimation of generations to
come. But as a financier, diplomat,
party leader and broad minded patriot
the throne will never be pointed to
with any particular feeling of pride.
Like the bed of Magot it will be
looked upon as having held man of
tremendous girth, but coupled with
that thought will be an impression
that an exceeding small place would
hold all the genuine interest Grover
felt for the common people of his
country.
Go back over the history of the past
two years and draw the same conclu-
sion. Think of the pangs of the poor,
the cry of the business interest for re-
lief, and then consider the incessant
mistakes and phlegmatic incomptency
of an American nero who fiddled out
international discord while his coun-
try suffered.
Things COULD not have been worse
had there been a real throne at the
White House.

Hurrah for Kansas.

| y Perry, Go you remember,
Some twenty years ago,
When you, way out to Kansas
Concluded you would go?
How the the hoppers came flying
In armies large and small,
And tt the farmers crop up
And left them none at all?
And then, do you remember
How the folks would laugh and tease
When you would talk of setting out
A few young apple treeS3
And told you that twas FOOLISH
TO think of raising grain;
For out in drouthy Kansas
would never, never rain.
Those twenty years have past and gone,
And each has told a tale:
Some years the crops were great and
grand
And others. sorter frail.
Tie trees, how they did flourish
. On Kansas fertile ground;
With no others in the neighborhood
tOr miles and miles around.
And the corn cribs that yoa buildel
10 hold your golden grain
Would prove to those most Sxaptical
E That surely it would rain.
And that you know was farther east,
In ottawa cOunty's cline,
Where praise is sounded day by day
In blank verse and in rhyme.
AS have settled further west,
l from writing can't / train.
Ills the same old Kansas that you
Ills drouth and then it's rain
On Ire 20 county homestead
I've pitched my tent to stay,
And never get dis outraged
In spite OF what folks say.
Although my house is made Of sod
Like the snanty on Oh the claim,
I'm going to stay with Kansas,
And I'll get there just the same.
For when the drOuth DER takes us,
Ana no moisture can be found,
We will set our pumps to working
On the water in the ground;
And il you see our gardens,
1Ou'II see the very test,
And you'd ''hurrah Tor rrego
The beauty OF the vest
AS people in the eastern part of the
state nave SO much to say about west
ern Kansas, / can hardly refrain from
saying word or two. In Trego coun-
ty think we have tie same condi-
lions that prevailed in the east IN
early days, and the above mentioned
Iarn in Ottawa county is good Illus
GratiOn. Inc first irult IS set out
On tnat place were bOu gut for one
cent apiece, or nurSeryman that had
SuIpped trees to Solomon CITY and
loud not sell them Tor good price
because people thought they would
not grow. vi tne twenty trees bought,
seventeen grew. When he found tnat
iruit trees would grow in Kansas a
large orchard Was set out. The last
.eW years there was plenty OF fruit to
supply a large family and some to sell.
a 1eW men in this county have al
ready proven that trees can grow i'll
western Kansas III well cared for. l
think we are away ahead OF the early
settlers OF the east for while we are
waiting for water from above, we can
draw water from the ground and irri-
gate. something folks did not think Of
III elrller days. L see no reason why
trees, gardens and all that can be
artincally watered in dry times should
not grow here as well as any place on
earth. 1t is true we have not raised
much for the last two years, but as
we have had good crops in the past L
think we may expect them in the
future. Considering the amount OF
work a man can do in this healthy
climate | think we are coming to the
'front.' and coming to stay.

WATERTOWN.
A GURNsEYTowN GATHERING.

l A GURNSEYTOWN GATHERING. Gurnseytown people, including dele- gation from Bethlehem, and representa- l tives from other sections of Watertown,
 turned out in force, last Friday evening, l and took possession of the pleasant home of MT Foote. The gathering was under
 the auspices of the Kings Daughters so-
 ciety, and delightful program was pre-
 sented. The program opened with a
 dialogue in which Master Pearl Skilton impersonated doctor called to see a sick doll owned by Miss Grace Cook. Little Miss Eva Profit also took part in this dialogue. The children were ap. plauded. The program also included a
 recitation, aPat's wisdom" by Irving Skilron, reading ssThen I'm yourn,', by M. 0, Skilton, song by Irving Skill ton and farce by Bethlehem talent. The company tried the task of putting
 the donkey's tail in position, after being
 blindfolded individually and the result
 was amusing. The gentlemen were asked in novel way to select their partners for supper. The names of the states were fastened upon the ladies' dresses, the capitals of the states placed in hat and then the gentlemen found the state and went to supper. A coi- lection was taken, which will aid in oil- ing up the benevolent machinery of the society. Gurnseytown, by the way, has the reputation of being model commu- nifty, and the young ladies deserve praise in maintaining an organization which has for it's object the doing of good "In His Name." Shortly before closing an informal speech was made by William Reynolds, who in an excellent manner stated the object of the gathering and what he wanted the people to do in opening their pocket books. The cast of characters in the farce was as follows. Mrs Arnold" Miss Julia Guild .'Lutie," Miss Enda Child "Mrs Parks" Mrs D. ". Thompson "Mr Harter," James Flynn 'Rev Mir 0lecroft,' William Johnson
