Bates county has many ofE.those

eastern tier OF counties in Kansas
and along the western edge OF Mis-
souri,. The origin nj these mounds
has long been a matter of conjecture
TO biologists and people generally.
Gas experts evolve the theory that
they were originally caused by the
force OF gigantic deposits OF natural
gas. This theory has some support
in the fact that some of the best gaS

the tops OF PERCEPTIONS mounds

Are You Ready to Move?

The days fly rapidly by, and the
time is at hand when the people of
Delaware will face another moving
day. Most generally people move
to better their condition, and wisely
see to 1t in time, that when present
quarters must be LETT, 10 have a
place or house to move into. Such
is the custom as relates TO secular
moving, and no sensible person
would run the risk OF putting off the
securing Of house or home until
the moving day is fully come. Some
have homes Of their own and have
no care about moving and seem TO
live with no thought of having to
move. For long while the thoughts
OF the writer have been running
along the line of knowing time and
thoughtlully and kindly give TO the

seriously think that all of us have

The Color Guard.
From the Sun.

From the Sun.
None of the Union Republican mem
bers of the legislature need defense or
commentator for their course during
their work at Dover. Their work com
mends itself. They were manly, honor
able, trustworthy set of men, entrusted
with the performance of an important
public duty which tloy tried consistently
to perform. They could not be persuaded
to swervc from the straight line of duty,
nor could they be frightened in deser-
ton or surrender. No one suggested the
necessity of watching the Union Republi-
cans to prevent bribery and desertion.
They were all known not to be in that
line. On the contrary there were deputa-
tons Of Regulars always on hand to
keep their squad in line They were
praised, cautioned and threatened with
out limit, to keep them straight. Rcgu-
lars and Democrats tsood guard over
them from the beginning TO the end of
the session. For their Democratic col
leagues the whole Democratic and Reg
ular' parties were constantly on the
watch to prevent dcscrtion. They were
never allowed to forget the awful ca
fate of King, Clark and Farlow; and
were constantly admonishcd as to their
duty of loyalty TO party and principle;
while their Regular" colleagues were as
often admonshcd to preserve their honor
by perscvering in a course of party trca-
son. The ludicrous situation of these
legislative colleagues is obyious-what
was honor for the Democrats was dis
honor for the Regulars" the one must
not, and the other must betray their
party and their constituents. But none
of these things moved the Union Re
publcans. They could not be coaxcd,
frightened or bribed into a betrayal of
their trust. They have been proved
worthy Of trust and will doubtless be
again called to the halls Of legislation,
or to places of trust and honor. As the
color guard of the Republican party they
kept the flag up and to the fore. They
have it still in custody, and about them
the party will rally the next campaign
and for complete Republican victory.
