From the Warsaw, Ind, Times.
A letter received by The junior pub.
Usher Of this paper from John d,
Kutz, now OF Las Vegas, New Mexico,
conveys the information that he may
be at his old home here within a short
time. He has a prospect down there
for q large amount of plumbing. The
town beng new and progressive, the
people there are putting in all the
modern improvements In the way oil
heating, lighting and ventilation, and
consequently the outlook for consid.
cradle work in his line Is quite prom.
ising.
Our people will remember that M.
M. Cline, formerly engaged with B. F.
Richardson In this city in the mercan-
tils trade, several weeks ago left for
East Las Vegas, N. NJ, for the benefit
Of his health, which had constantly
been running down since leaving
Warsaw. A recent letter received
from q Warsaw lady, now Stopping at
Las Vegas, conveys the information
that Mr.. Cline Is now having a serious
attack Of pneumonia, and to inform
certain friends in this city Of the fact.
The letter concludes with "Mr. Cline
has also had three hemorrhages, which,
the physician says, will relieve the
congested state OF his lungs"
The "Warsaw boy" seems to get
right to the front In the west, II, he
possesses any sort Of ambition and
pluck. We have recently noted the
fact OF Clifford Reid-son Of Ex-
Sheriff John M. Reid-being elected
clerk Of the New Mexico legislature.
His brother. George Reid, is now con.
nccted with q leading law firm al
Tacoma, Wash, and is getting along
finely. Indeed, we could point to q
large number of KosciusKoans, who,
after removing to the west as young
men, have made themselves felt. For
instance, there is Samuel I. Evey, of
Fall River, Kas.; William Stevens, of
Juniata, Nsb., and j. B. Skinner, OF
Hebron, Neb., all Of them former
residents Of this county, and each of
them are prominent citizens Of their
res pective places .Out West" We
could increase the list to great degree
had we the time to do 30.

Queen victoria's Personality.

Queen Vtctoria's Personality.
In the 60 years of Victoria's reign the
British empire has grown wonderfully
and the queen has been more potent
factor in this than is generally realized.
By her personality, says London cor.
respondent, Queen Victoria has been
the cohesive force holding amicably to-
gether the administrative power and
the people. When she ascended the
throne royalty had become discredited
even with Engishmen to whom its ex-
istence is dear. The two Georges and
William, who had preceded her, were
cause for this. Since she ascended the
then tottering throne she has estab.
isheh it more firmly than it ever was
before not by maneuyers, but because
she has been an ideal monarch for the
English people. She is more domestic
than brilliant, more affectionate and
gentle than intellectual, and moreover
she is gifted with queenly dignity Of
bearing, which she has the tact to In
fuse with the shade of affability appro-
pirate to the occasion. Though she is
to the English mind in every sense a
queen, she is also so virtuously human
that there have been few criticisms
upon her, Notwithstanding the bright
| light that is thrown upon a throne.
Had she been born to other walks OF
life she would' have made good house
keeper and an affectionate mother.

about the greater part of the town by
our brother-in-law whom we had
not met in five years or more. The
town has very much improved since
we were previously there to look it
over. Fine business blocks and ele-
giant residences have been constructed
which would be a credit to any town
of $4,000 inhabitants. 1t does not
much resemble itself as we first saw
it, thirty years ago last April. 1t was
then the terminous of the "McGregor

1t isn't safe to speak about the day
Of resurrection to the negroes around
st. Nicholas, a small Florida town near
jacksonville, juss at present. They
haven't yet gotten over little incident
which happened q few days ago. A
campmeeting was in progress among
the colored people, and during one of
the recent night sessions while the
speaker was preaching of the coming
of the Angel Gabriel and exhorting all
to reform and prepare for the last day,
q great streak of pure white light was
noticed against the dark sky, apparent
ly reaching far into the heavens. The
negroes We're terribly frightened at the
sight. believing that the light was the
path by which Gabriel was about to de-
scend and blow the last trump. All
fell PROSTATE and began confessing
their sins and praying, but the demon
strations ceased suddenly when some
white persons present told them the
light was nothing but searchlight on
board United States cruiser in the
ocean nearby, which subsequently,
proved to be the case.

j. B. Bargabos advertises his farm
near Bonair for sale owing to ill
health. This is one OF the finest farms
in Howard and joins the plat of the
village. From the west side of the
farm to the railroad station and a
good market is about half mile. A
young man with means for first pay
ment and the disposition and muscle
to cultivate it can buy and pay for the
farm.
The hay crop, contrary to expecta-
tion, is heavy and of very fine quality.
1t only needs suitable weather to Sc
cure it, to give the farmers of this
portion of Iowa an abundance of this
crop. Corn is backward and Will re-
quire much of September for most OF
it to mature. Oats are rapidly ripen-
ing and are full average with former
years. Potatoes are doing finely and
the recent rains will make an i'm
mense crop. Wheat looks finely and
we saw more in one days drive this
week in the county than in all of the
past five years. Barley is good and
is mostly cut and in the shock. Pas
lures are in extraordinary condition
and cows are yielding great flow OF
milk. The only draw back from these
evidences of prosperity is the low
prices of the products of the farm, for
none of which the new tariff offer a
particle of honest protection by adopt.
ing measures that will enable the peo.
pie to buy and consume.
