From Our Correspondent.
We went to press some hours too
soon last week to report a two inch
rain which came in ample time to an
sWeF as a "stick" in our cup of slope
deferred" and changes the ingredient
to brimmig cup of hope fulfilled"
as applied to the raising of a small
grain crop.
Our "slOpOver" last week was an eff
ort, and we hope not a fruitIess effort,
to allay suspicious that Mr.. and Mrs
Wileman write these items. This
same statement being also verified by
the editor. This same sent to the
waste basket Jour own two lengthy
items about that bouncing boy of Fred
Notzs' and the marriage of Eddy Math-
or to Miss Roth.
George Hamlin and S. A. Wileman
received q crate of fine strawberries as
9 present from Charley Marsh and
wife, of Denver, Colo, which vas even
" divided up. We feel quite sure that
We would be welcome to partake of
some Of this deleetabIe fruit by offer
ing to reveal our identity to them, and
it would be the most enticing snare
that could be laid for us.
The excessive hot weather has been
extremely favorable to the develop
ment of the festive black and gray pc
tato bugs, and a new cabbage sword
for soldier) bug, and truck gardeners
who are "o'er skittishn about the use
of paris green stand an excellent show
to loose both seed and labor.
The tsnseity Of life and the recuper-
alive power Of the small grain crop
after a two inch rainfall here is on an
equality with the staying qualities Of
The La Blanchite generally.
Can Brother aKv Of Kauorado fame,
who We are expecting to return our
visit, say as much for Grant township?

Over a third of a million balf-starved
coal miners are on a strike in the mid
die states for living wages; and Femem-
Der this is occurring in the United
States Of America in the year eighteen

months after William Mckinley, the

ponent and advocate of sound-money
and high tariff, was inaugurated presi-
dent Of the United States republic.

From Our Correspondent.
Our most important news is that the
cheese factory is in operation. It
started up on Wednesday, July Z; and
now each morning the farmers come
rolling in with the milk cans. "Long
may they wave"
Between the celebration and the
cheese factory our people had the
pump going sideways.
The celebration here was pronoun-
eed by all an unqualified success. It
commenced in the morning in gentle
murmurs and trills increasing in vol
ume thTOught the day and ended in
the roar and blaze of fireworks in the
evening. Then the rumble Of the wag-
ons homeward bound; but we leave the
write-up to TIE REPUBLIC representa-
tive who was on the ground, and, also,
kindly helped our ball players.
Among the distinguished visitors
from abroad on the Fourth, We noticed
Mayor Weber, Herbert Stewrt, Billy
Ennis, Attorney Montgomery, John
Book, Swan Nelson and DR.. Shelly, ali
Of Goodland. George Montgomery,
also, helped out the bail game and
made nice double play. They all
visited the cheese factory.
All from here who attended the Gel
bratiOn at GoOdland report a fine time,
good treatment, and are proud of the
fact, that in the sporting contests they
walked off with nearly all the prizes
hung up.

The question our La Blanche friend
asked US is a poser and not being good
in that line We viii have to cali in the

to tell the riddle and answer the quest

Hon. Fred Yearick, statesman and
sage Of Mcpherson township, attended

of his comrade HOllingshead Friday.
We had the pleasure Of meeting the
La Blanche correspondent on the
Fourth and was pleased To ind that 81
was an old timer and q personal friend
of ours but, it vas not the postmaster
or anyone connected with the postofh
&c at that plaes. If the good people
there would take the pleasantriss in
the items in the sans spirit that they
are intended there would be 10 roon
for hard feelings or unpleasantnss:
but rather of pride that someone toot
pains to chronicle the weekly history
Of the community AID so keep it II

The silk Worm Must Go.

And now the silk worm must go. Ex-
perimcnts have been in progress foi
some years to produce II silk fabric
without II particle Of the genuine silk in
II, and IL has finally been accomplished.
Silks which ear hardly be distinguished
from the genuine product Of the silk
worm, can now be manufactured entirely
from the pulp Of wood. 1t is already in
successful operation in the south Of
France, and the recent wedding dress of
Princess OF Orleans was made of new
wood pulp silk
Factories ME now being established in
England, and II company with u large
capital has been organized In Paterson,
N. j., with which Abncr Mckinley,
brother OF the President, is prominently
connected, To produce this new quality
OF silk, that can be manufactured Mt lit.
tie more than one halt the cost of the
silk worm product.
The silk worm has done its work, says
the Philadelphia Times, aud there is
little doubt that the new wood pulp silk,
that has every quality for resisting pres.
sure aud yet is MS soft as China silk, will
come into general use, even in the most
fashionable circles

1t is such decisions as that just made
by the United States Supreme Court in
the BeIliner ease that unsetile the faith OF
the people in its incorruptibility. Here
is II patent that was applied for in 1877,
and was mol issued until 1891. It is not
pretended that there was any effort on
the part 81 the owner Of the right to the
supposed invention 10 hurry up its issue.
On the other hand il was allowed To lay
dormant until 1891, near the time when the
Bell patents ran out, aud then the patent
was issued, On patent said To cover about
the same claims as those of BelD, and
which there can be no doubt the Bell
Telephone Co. shrewdly worked to have
granted, after having purchased the
claims of the professcd inventor. by this
scheme, The Bell Telephone Co. pracli-
cally secured nm extension of the Bell
patent for seventeen years. The circum-
stanlial evidence OF lrickery and collision
is too plain to be hidden by legal qIib
bling but the Supreme Court has dccid
ed that il was no fault OF the Bell com
pany that the patent was not issuet
sooner.
