Plainville, Rocks county town, is the
nome or number of Union Pacific en-
ployes, who receive monthly wagei
amounting to about s., 500.
Paradise Flats, in Rocks county, is
one of the most attractive spots in
northwest Kansas. No wonder the In
olans ana buffalos were 10th to part
with it. The Oldest settler on the Flats
is said to be NJ. c. Merritt.
Col. S. S. Reynolds, one of the old
timers of Grainfield and Cove county
having resided there for almost a quar-
ter or a century, and has seen destruc-
tive prairie fires, grasshoppers, hot
winds, drouths and so forth, will doubt
less quit that town and county He may
become financially interested in the ce-
ment industry at Yocemento, in Ellis
county He also has his eyes on Old
Mexico. The friends of Col. Reynolds
believe he will make a serious mistake
if he quits Cove county.
Fewer Sixth district politicians visited
Topeka during the G.. A. r. encamp-
ment than on any former occasion when
it was known the capital city was go
ing to be full of people from all over
the state. Old soldiers from this district
turned out in good numbers, but the
politicians staid at home. They will
have an inning later on A few political
Square Dealers showed up, however. in
Guiding State Senator l. D. Young, from
the Acknowledgement district. There has
been no important event going on for
many years when there were fewer poll
ticians present than there was at the
recent department encampment G.. A. r.
held in Topeka. Most every county in
the Sixth district was represented with
Old Boys in Blue delegates, and If there
was a kick from any of them it didn't
come to the surface.
The Dykes, of Lebanon, Smith county,
Drs. John B. and H. A, are liable to get
into the newspaper trade, and report
has 1T that they are going to get posses
sion of the Times plant in their town.
Theys are quite as we'll known in Topeka
as they are in their section of state, the
former having been a candidate for con-
gress in the Populist ticket in the Sixth
district, and now chairman of the Smith
county Republican ticket, while the lat
ter was secretary of the state board of
health in the palmy days of Populism.
Politically, they have seen the error of
their ways, and are now stalWart Re
publicans.
