in place Of L. D. Leroy resigned
An excellent selection and worthily
bestowed.
JD. Edmond is now on the Pacific
coast, with a view of locating il desir-
able. Hon. II. p. Andrews is his
travelling companion. The trip will
be extended till autumn.
Il. /. King has moved to the store
on the corner of Main and Mil streets
formerly occupied by j. d Edmond.
In addition to excellent business
qualifications Mr.. King is a practical
hardware man, and his stock when
select ed and arranged will be second
to none in this section Of country.
Children's day was we'll observed
at the M. e. church, and a large
audience we're delighted with pleas
ing program effectively rendered.
Our city fathers have been doing
good service in removing weeds from
the streets. Citizens have co'operat-
ed In the work, and consequently the
town presents a neat and tidy ap-
pearance.
Recent rains and showers have had
a very beneficial effect on the crops in
Logan and vicinity, and the prospect
of large corn crop is very hattering.
II hot winds do not devastate Kansas
will redeem herself this fall.
The flood about a month since car
ried away the bridge across the Solo
mon at Logan, much to the detriment
of commercial interests and the peck
cts Of taxpayers. A temporary bridge
waa latterly also taken down stream.
Now a foot bridge below the dam
serves the purpose of communication
with either shore while wagons and
other vehicles can cross the ford with
out difficulty. Our citizens have had
the matter under consideration how
ever, and last Friday evening meet
ing was called concerning the bridge
and committee consisting of +. A,
Albright, A. b. Miller, W, A. Reeder,
Henry Ferret, Thomas Dye, Peter
Hansen and W. M. Dunning were APP
pointed, who proceeded to Phillips
burg cd Monday to confer with the
county commissioners. What will be
done in the matter is still IN doubt,
but it is more than probable a bridge
will be erected this fall, and thus save
the trade Of the large scope of country
south and tributary to Lognn,
Negotiations between the owners Of
the Logan mills are now IN progress
concerning the repairs to the dana
which went out partly at tue time Of
the bridge washout, and it is hoped
they will result in making the mill
available. The want of a mill is
severity felt locally, and by patrons in
the country. One of the owners Is a
nonresident, and has other interests
which require attention which IN a
measure accounts for the delay.
Oscar Hill lately returned from
Texas where he has been residing for
some months past is satisfied that
western Kansas for man of moderate
means is the best section he has found
10 his travels. Mr.. Hill IS a good
farmer and will locate near Logan,
The Logan delegation which at
tended the Normal at Phillipsburg
are at home again we'll pleased with
the work of the institute and methods
of instruction.
The fame Of DR., Mcintyre as a
lecturer drew to Phillipsburg num-
Der of our citizens who express them
selves as delighted with the Dr's. fine
effort.
The money market in and about
Logan IS exceedingly tense and num-
bers of farmers with hundreds of
bushels of corn IN prospect weighted
with two failures of crops, are sorely
pressed to obtain money for subsis-
tence till they can realize from the
growing crops.
Miss Ruth Worrel is to be clerk in
the post-ot1ice and has entered upon
her duties IN place of Mrs. Cora
