Kansas Hens

Nightingales, larks, swans and such poetic
fowl have been hailed and hymned until the
world is very weary OF them Where is the ro-
bust American bard who will write high with
joyous pen the harmless, necessary hen: Why
do our children read about those fabulous geese
OF the Roman capital: The hens OF Kansas are
worthier subjects. Here is one years work of
thcm:-$7, 220,I1I worth of eggs, which, as a
Kansas economist does we'll to remind the world
is interest at five per cent. on $I445 ,22o. To
say nothing of "broilcrs' and other by-products
Kansas hens make more money for Kansas than
do her sheep, WOOL barley, flax, fruit, sorghum

Kansas as the eagle is the bird of freedom

The CECIL WING starts the new year with
two hundred more subscribers than it had one
year ago, and its circulation is steadily increas-
ing. No paper ever published in the county has
approached it in the number weekly issued This
increase of patronage will enable us to devote
more pains and expense to its publication, and
thus render it more worthy the extended circu-
laton it is attaining.
We issue each week nearly one thousand cop
ies. number seldom, if ever, equalled by a
country newspaper in county the size OF Cecil.
There is room, however, for a thousand more,
and we expect to obtain that many, if we have
no i'll luck during the next two years.
All our villages and our agricultural districts
are rapidly increasing in population. New
manufactures are springing up along our
streams; mechanics settling among us, in
vitcd by the demand for their labor and their
wares-the spirit of enterprise and intelligence
is abroad in the county; and under such cir
cumstances newspaper devoted to the interests
OF the county cannot fail to increase in its Cir
cuatiOn.

STEAMBOAT SUNK.

The steamboat "Union.' Capt. Pierson, be-
longing to the Ericsson Line, was cut through
by the ice on the Ist inst, on her way from Bal
timore to Chesapeake City. She reached the
latter place, but sunk after being brought into
the canal. Her cargo was not damaged to
great amount, having been generally taken out,
except certain articles not liable to be much in
jured by water.

Vancouver, b. c., April 11.-One Of
the strangest 5wagers Of modern times
took place this week between an Indian
medicine man and German Catholic
priest named Benshen, at the Indian vii
iage of Nootka, B. G.. One Of the wit
nesses of the wager was Captain New

Kestrel.
The Indian medicine man has been
working graft on the tribesmen by
threatening to place the4evn spirits in
them if they did not give him blankets
and had accumulated a large number Of
blankets The Germany missionary then
decided to interfere and wagered the
medicine man 800 against the blankets
that he could not put the evil spirit
in him. s :5@
A day was set for the test and the
priest, expecting trickery, had j. Earle,
storekeeper, and Captain Newcomb,
the only two white men available, to
witness the affair. Upon seeing the
white witnesses the Indian medicine
man WAS compelled to confess before his
tribe that he could not do as he pro
fessed and the priest thus won his bet

and Governor Roberts. together with
his commissioners and 4 number of
prominent state officials recently Wis
tied the exposition grounds. They
expressed great surprise at the pro-
oress Of the work and at the perfec-
tion Of the plans.
Commissioners from Illinois, Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts,, Maryland,
Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina
and Missouri have already selected
sites for their state buildings. Ohio
has just passed an Appropriation of
$4,000. and will select its site in the
very near future. as will South Car
olina. which has made an appropria-
tion of $4,000.
Besides these states. Maine, Wis
consin. Florida and Delaware will be
represented. The exposition company
made no effort to secure state partlcl-
patton until the federal government
officially endorsed the celebration:
therefore. owing to lack Of time and
the fact that most Of the other states
have had no legislative sessions since
the 4th Of last March, the invitations
to participate have not reached all
the commonwealth.
Among those states which have
been invited and have considered par
ticipation are Iowa and Kentucky.
In Iowa bill is now pending which
in all probability will be passed, and
Kentucky, through some misunder-
standing. failed to reach the exposi-
tion bill, but a popular subscription is
now being raised there for the pur-
pose Of participation.
All Of the states whose legislatures
meet this year and those which do not
meet until next year will be invited
and it is hardly possible that anyone
will refuse Virginia's invitation.
The entire amount appropriated up
to this time by the various states
reaches we'll over $SO0,O00, and this
sum is likely to be increased largely
until the final amount expended by
the states will approximate if not ex-
ceed one million and half dollars.

100000 for united exhibition build
ing, to house the dozen art societies
represented in the Fine Arts Feder-

dowment will each require about ST.

secure a location in one Of the parks

Why Dead River?
Century,.

Century.
Tie western branch Of the Kenne-
bee has been given the name Dead
river because in ITS it was full of
drowned soldiers. So one may read.
But there is not syllable of truth
in it. And the next picture conjured
up by the name, doleful Styx, tur-
bid and miasmatic, is equally false.
The plain fact is that the river flows
for long distance through meadows,
and unless the water rs high it scarce
ly seems to move at all. That is why
it has been called dead. Nothing
Gloomy belongs to the name. A delec-
liable and captivating stream is Dead
river.
