} Business with our merchant
| was quite dull on Saturday last
. The cold weather and heavy
rains interferred greatly with
work, consequently money was
scarce among the laborers from
whom, ordinarially, most of the
shop trade comes. The boat
trade, which is also an important
factor, has likewise been greatly
interrupted recently by the bad
weather.
Last Sunday was a beautiful
spring-1ike day, and the sun
never shone brighter. Ali the
churches were open for worship
and the people turned out in
good numbers to each. In the
afternoon a large number of
ladies, who have been cooped up
for about two weeks On account
of bad weather, were out i'll full
force, making the hearts of
many glad.
We are glad to report the
Firenen' ice cream and oyster
supper. held last Friday night
at City Hall, as being quite a
success. The evening being
pretty large crowd attended.
The receipts were very satisfac-
tory and the musical feature was
greatly enjoyed, while the silver
cup contest created much enttu-
siasm. Whenever young ladies
are interested success is sure to
follow.
Wednesday night two fire
alarms were sent in to the De-
partment. The first alarm was
given about midnight, which
proved to be the old delapidated |
building at the corner of Road
and Church streets-one OF the
eyes-sores recently spoken of in
this paper. The second alarm
occurred about $50 o'clock
Thursday morning, an clubhouse
nearby having caught from
sparks from the first Are.

He PRAISED KANSAS.
J. R. BURT0N'S GREAT SPEECH
AT CHICAGO.
A Glowing Tribute to TIE Character
Of Kansas People His Address Be.
ceived With Cheers.

The Marquette club, the principal
Republican organization Of Chicago
and one Of the greatestin the country,
celebrated Chicago day on Saturday
with banquet. Mark Hanna was
the guest Of honor and responded to a
toast. j. R. Burton, of Abilene, was
one of the principal speakers of the
evening, his subject being "An Epoch
and Its Lesson" 1t was a mastery
effort received with great applause,
and treated of the rise and fall Of the
boom period, beginning in Kansas and
ending in the panic Of 1898. He closed
with glowing eulogy Of Kansas and
its prosperous condition Of today:
Industries in the west are diversi-
flying and channels Of trade are null
tiplying. The prairie states stand
like coy maiden, courted at once by
Chicago and New York, New Orleans
and Galveston, and, believe me, she
is wiser Miss than Of yore; she bows
and smiles, first to one, then to the
other; she extends a hand to each, but
she does not always let the right
hand know what the left is doing. |
could boast of the fact that the west
is paying her debts faster than she
made them, that this year Kansas will
live and lay by $l75,OOO,OO0. But if
had the Imagination Of a poet and
the tongue of an orator, | could not
embrace in one picture all the vast
resources Of that magnificent portion
Of our commonwealth. And it is not
of that | would talk. Our lands, our
manufactures, our mines and our
focks and herds are not our greatest
heritage.
1.-The west, like Athens of old, is
greatest in her men. They are pio-
neers, and the pioneer is a hardy man
and brainy one; whether he halls
from our own country or comes from
across the sea. He must leave the
scenes of his childhood; break loose
from the ties of kith and kindred and
60 into strange land. Only men
with iron in their blood do this. The
people of the west, they who have
broken down the frontier, made homes
on the prairies and in the mountain
country, are Of the strongest, the
bravest and the best. And that is
why they have recovered so quickly
from the panic. They have had the
stamina to survive the flood of specu-
lation. They have gone from improv-
idence to economy-from waste to
saying-from gambling to business.
They have had the courage to change.
ALREADY the dark clouds Of Social
ism, Anarchy and Populism are dis
appearing, and Bryanism, which is
but refinement of all the others, is
even now a fast fading memory and
will soon be forgotten and under this
wise administration administra-
tion Of Republicanism and prosperity
the mighty west will speedily set
tie on the solid basis Of business con-
servatism."
Other speakers of the evening were
f. A. Bancroft, of Chicago; +. o.
Lowden, Of Chicago; Congressman
Lacey, of Iowa.
