P. BYERS, Agent, Herington, Ks. KANSAS JULY 13 1893. Several of our prominent citizens have inaugerated a kite craze and most any evening you can find two or three staid old men anxiously trying to get a paper kite up into the air, while the women and children stand by and proffer all kinds of suggestions. Strange as it may seem, every day that the indications are favorable for rain, our numerous business men seem to have a great desire to dampen the streets to prevent the dust flying, but just as as it clears up and the sun comes out bright, no one thinks of using a hose.

Joe Koekenhaur of Hope, who has been doing some plastering at the Strunk farm, was brought into town Wednesday with lime in his eye, and from all appearances he will have a severe time ot it. as the lime had eaten his eye considerably. Dr. Henlen has him under his care and will bring him around all right in a short time. Who says the railroad boys are not in it? Didn't Warren Vance win the bicycle race on the fourth? That's glory enough for 'one County Journal.

Warren Vance is a brother to our well-known shoe man and an old and the race was held in Chaldron Neb. Herington is rapidly coming to the front on the bicycle. Conductor Phillips, who punches on the Rock Island passenger train from Pratt to Dodge City, has purchased a couple of lots and moved a house to the same, in Pratt, near the city water works tank, in the north part of town. The captain's object is speculation. His family will continue to reside in Herington, where he goes every Saturday evening to spend Sunday with them.

Preston Plaindealer. The well known Sam McManus has been notified to show cause why his pension. which he has been receiving for some time, should not be discontinued. It seems a shame that a man who really was in the was and one who needs the pension as bad as Sam does, should be the first one to have it stopped. There are many who are better able to get along and who don't deserve it, who go without the pension.

Con. Mack informs us that a brakeman on a freight run from Bowie to Paradise got so excited that he lit the lanterns for night use at three o'clock in the afternoon, and then took to the woods He was easily found however. and will hereafter stay on his regular run. We won't mention any names, but the story was to good to keep. We would advise him to keep cool while railroading, and more especially so during this hot weather, as it is very severe on stand up collars.

Bob Dowell, a Kiowa county boy. and for some years in the employ of the Rock Island, was ordered to Herington last week, so THE SIGNAL of that place reports, for examination as to his qualifications for conductor, but, from private sources. we learn that the board decided he had not been long enough on board a freight train. Bob has a good many friends along the line who would be to see him handling the dealer. Wrong again Olliver, not only has Bob passed an examination, but has a train and makes a fine conductor.

The Sheriff was down here last week after Grant G. Gillett, who has been accused of a very serious crime and from all accounts has skipped to avoid the consequences. Chairman D. W. Naill of the republican central committee has issued a call for that body to meet at Abilene Saturday, July 1 5th.

Struck Salt. For two weeks past Charlie Thomas has been employed drilling a well on the farm of John Peters. At the depth of 135 feet the appearance of the water attracted their attention, and on examination it was discovered to contain salt in such quantities that an egg will float in it.
