Shermax county; will, without doubt, have a railroad some place within her borders before the close of the year. Ixdiaxa's legislature is likely to elect two U. 8. Senators when one is only needed one democrat and one republican. has three governors the one in the chair, and the two newly elected ones have both taken the oath of office.

So i-ar no one has been settled on to wear the shoes of Senator Logan, and it will be Lard to find a man in Illinois and a republican. The Wano Hustler predicts a rail road for that town this year, the road running irom Jiinkleman, Nebr.l.m tno river to Wano, and on to 1'ueblp, Vol. Cotton, that has been 80 king of our" sister southern states must at last divide his throne with iron and coal. In Alabama alone there is enough, coal to last 165 years by being saving and only burning ions a Iron manufactories are spring up everywhere, and the people begin to realize what a great country they have down there. A large number of railroad accidents aro reported this week from the east.

In Ohio, an express train run into a fraight and twenty peo- pie were killed and burned to deaths In Massachusetts six cars left the track and burned' up, killing one man and injuring thirty. New York 'afcd Wisconsin both furnish accidents, where several were killed. Kansas can give every occupant of the United States three pecks of wheat each year; she can give every horse in the state 500 bushels of corn and seventy-five bushels of oats for his year's allowance; she can give everv raan iQ the United States one-half pound of butter each season; and she raises broom-corn in quanta ties so great as to have a very noticeable effect upon national market. The of; fi'dd'prbdiicts vL Kansas this year will be sufficient to; -give fifty cents to every' man, woman and child in the United States. The value of live stock products reaches about one-third this siihount.

Net income from all farm products average about to every farm in the state.
