Items from Kensington.

Kensington, Kas., Aug. 1.-The
seventeenth anniversary of the town
will be celebrated August 16 and II.
1t is not the intention of the people
to bore the visitors with speeches, but
they will entertain them with a varied
number of amusements and sports.
The town has progressed, and this an
niversary will be larger and better
than any of her predecessors.
Geo. E. Smith, ex-state senator from
the Smith neutrality-suspicious. district, and
con, is marketing 1000 bushels of old
corn, at 40 cents a buShel- Speaking
of corn, there is a larger acreage
planted in Smith county than for
many years, and it is looking unusu-
ally healthy. Nothing has occurred to
discourage the farmers, and while
wheat isn't threshing out first class,
the shortage is being made up in
the corn prospects and increased acre
age.
The Kensington Mill and Elevator
company is about ready to commence
operations. The mill has a capacity
of 125 barrels daily, and the elevator
can handle 10000 bushels They are
provided with modern ma chinery for
making flour and handling grain
Anthony Hall will operate and man
age the new industry. Upwards of
$1,000 is invested in the enterprise.
DR.. l.. A Golden is figuring on the
erection of a modern residence. He
is the possessor of $4,000 acres of
Sherman county land, Wnere ne raises
stock and feeds it in Smith county. He
has upwards of 1000 head. Dr. Cold
en- is a money-maker, and everything
he puts money into usually brings
him in double. He is a successful
practitioner, and an honored member
of the state board of pharmacy. Mr..
and Mrs. Golden are pioneer residents
of Smith county. ana are young
enough to enjoy life in Kensington
and Smith county.
Kensington is going to have her
third lumber yard. which would look
as if the town was going to enjoy
great building era. The George D.
Hope Lumber company, of Kansas
City, is adding the second yard, while
the Kensington Lumber company in
corporated, will put in the third yard.
The new company is business men
and farmers of Kensingron and vicin-
ity. George E. Smith, ex-member of
the legislature and ex-state senator, is
president; J. W. Boyd, editor and pub
Usher of the Mirror, is secretary, and
H Grauerholz, a representative farm
err, is treasurer. The new concern will
increase its stock from $4,000 to $12,-
600 and $4,000 as needed.
Kensington is keeping pace with
other towns in doing away with board

HUMAN osTRICHEs.
Have Swallowed Foreign Bodies of
Every Conceivable Shape.

The celebrated author of the RE
ligio Medici" refers in one of his
works to 1.-The method of duration
lately delivered by Daniel Beckkerus,
and approved by the professors of
Leyden in the Tract de Cultivoro
Prussiaco, 1886, that is, of a young
man of Spruceland that casually Swa1-
lowed "downe knife about 10 inches
long, which was cut out of his stom-
ach, and the wound healed up. In
which cure, to attract the knife to a
convenient situation, there was ap-
plyed a plaster made up with the
power of Ioadstone.' 1t is somewhat
difficult, perhaps, for many readers to
determine which of the ingredients of
this well-authenticated case deserves
the largest proportion of wondering
adrniration-the nature and dimen-
sions of the object swallowed, the
preparatory therepeusis which was
adopted before the operation, or the
fortunate issue of the latter when
carried out. Hypochrondriac males
and hysteric females have on various
occasions achieved morbid distinction
by swallowing foreign bodies of al
most every conceivable shape and
chemic mposition-mineral, metal
lic viterous, osseous, horny, etc. Sir
Thomas Watson mentions a case in
which the patient, a sailor, had con-
verified his stomach into a museum of
knives, forks. spoons, buttons, med
ais clasps. etc. A great many for
eign bodies of what might at first
appear of unmanageable shapes have
passed safely per Was naturales, es-

Paola, Kas., Aug. 1.-The Leaven-
worth Crude OIL and Gas company
Saturday afternoon brought in its first
oiler in the south part of town, near
the St Louis & San Francisco tracks
1t made a splendid showing of oil
and is considered one of the finest in
Miami county. A large crowd from
Leavenworth, headed by Warden Jew

witness the shooting of the we'll
Within fifteen minutes after it was

Buchanan's Goat.

Buchanan's goat is getting to be a
terror in that end of town. Besides
drinking beer and doing the tight rope
act, he has an appetite worse than an
ostrich. He invaded neighbours back
yard yesterday and was in the act
of crawling outside a sack of potatoes
when the landlady discovered the sit
uation and sent a hired girl after him.
A little later he became suddenly in
disposed. A local veterinarian was
called and applied the X-ray to the
goats stomach which happened to
contain among other matters one APP
pie pie, two pair of parlor slippers,
four copies of the Prospector, one
War Cry, nine subpoenas, three bench
warrants for John Doe, one package
smoking tobacco, one yard linoleum,
one box of tacks, one bisque doll and
other articles too numerous to admit
of inventory. He may recover. 1t
was the pie that knocked him out

sidewalks and putting down brick
walks. 1t is one of the Rock Islands
best shipping and business points, and
her citizens and business men are
anxious and will keep up with the
business procession.
The State bank is at work on it's
new brick bank building. And why
not? 1t has a capital and surplus of
$1,000. 1t has individual deposits
amounting to $66, 964.38. The last
statement shows over 100000 on de-
post. L. c. Ahlborn, nominee of the
Democrats in the Smith hillips-Nor-
ton district for state senator, is presi-
dent; Fred Dieckhoff, a substantial
farmer and Stockman, is vice presi-
dent, and Mrs. Ruth G.. AhIborn is
cashier.
Kensington has as bright an out
look before her as any town outside
of a county seat on the Rock Island
road. 1t has the country around to
warrant it, and it has as public
spirited people inside the limits. 1t
has a wealthy, independent class of
farmers, many of them German, who
patronize and work for the place.

PEABODY'S VERSION.
A Statement on the Mine Strike by
Colorado's Governor.

Denver, Aug. 1.-Governor Peabody
has issued an address dealing with the
labor troubles in Colorado. He refutes
the contention that the strike inaugu-
Miners at the ore reduction works in
Colorado City was called because of
the refusal of the legislature to enact
an eight-hour law, pointing out that it
was called February ii, some five or
six weeks before the adjournment of
the legislature, which then had under
consideration an eight-hour law. Later,
a sympathetic strike was declared by
the federation in Cripple Creek to cut
off the ore supply of the mills.
Governor Peabody then goes into the
history of the Western Federation of
Miners, which, he declares, has been re-
and murder. In affording protection to
men who desired to labor, the governor
explains, lit became necessary, in my
judgment, to conf1ne certain men in
military guardhouses as one of the
safest and most expeditions methods OF
restoring order. 1t was loudly proclaim
ed that this was without authority of
law. The question was submitted to
the supreme court and the action Of the
militia in that respect fully sustained
1t is useful and necessary power and
the class that should dread its exercise
is not numerous.
THE general policy pursued in Grip
pie Creek was followed in other parts of
the state and particularly in Telluride,
where the excuses and crime of the
federation had been still more inhuman
than in any other district and the
reign of terror still more complete. Or
der now prevails there
Quiet had been restored in Cripple
Creek and the troops withdrawn when
the dynamite outrage was committed
at the Independence depot June 6, fol-
lowed by the riot at Victor. The gov
ernor places the responsibility for both
these occurrences on the fedora ton.
when the excitement had somewhat
subsidized and the county was still under
quasi-miIitary rule the governor con-
tinued, cit was found that there were
several hundred members of the West
ern Federation in the district who
would not work and mad resolved that
others should not if by such methods as
those employed at the Independence
station they could be driven away. I
resolved that they should be dispersed
and I dispersed them
Governor Peabody denies the charge
that he is waging war on labor unions
generally and closes as follows:
II nave had to deal with an organic
alton which has no counterpart in this
country. Its official proclamations, full
of defiance and challenge, issued from
time to time, have amounted, as has
been said, to "a declaration of war

policy none too vigorous for the out

and that everything within the borders
of Colorado property shall be secure
