Early Days of Newsnaners,

The typewriter news sheet that has had to be issued in Stockholm be- cause of the general strike to take the regular printed newspaper sug- gests quaint echo from the earliest days of English journalism. It was in 1896 when Ichabod Dawks, a London correspondent" of the original sort, hit upon the idea of issuing his news letter printed in type to initiate writ ing, the first number being thus an- nounced: "This letter will be done upon good writing paper, and blank space left, that any gentleman may write his own private business. It does undoubtedly exceed the best of the written news, contains double the quantity, is read with abundance more ease and pleasure, and will be useful to improve the younger sort in writ ing curious hand" Dawks proudly held in after years that he thus en. abled his readers to know "the Oc. currences of the Day, and the Heads of the Foreign Mails, which come in many times after the Publication of the Printed Papers, so that they may have the chieftest news stirring."

WHOLE TOWN BE AUCTIONED
Former Owner, Too Rich to Labor More, Will Sell Kansas Town
 to Highest Bidder.

Salina, Kan.-A live, hustling, Kan sas town with one railroad station. a grain elevator, half a dozen general stores, postoffice, dwellings, churches and other things, is to be sold under the hammer
 The village of Shipton, nine miles northwest of Salina, will be put up at public auction soon and sold to the highest bidder. Shipton is a strictly moral town without saloon, gambling house or any other resort, and 1t is the center of trade for rich farming section. The town is built on the big wheat ranch of w. s. Irwin. Irwin, who settled there 20 years ago, has made so much money he is giving up farming to retire to his town house and live on the earnings of his bank stock and other investments. A dozen years ago, when his acres had ex- banded and he was becoming a big shipper of grain, he built station and elevator for his own convenience. Soon a general store was built on land rented from his, and in the last ten years quite village has grown up.
 Now Irwin has sold most of his farm and the balance of it, which in cludes the village of Shipton, will go at auction, together with all of the livestock and machinery on the farm.
