Attica will vote on a 520,000 water works bond proposition on the lo, (iiiAV County proposes to pay 1 rer acre for prairie sod broken any time during the winter. The Western Virion lias bought the Santa Fe telegraph lines between Wichita and the Gulf, and the lirst thing they do is to cut down the rate one-Ii alf.

It seems that Wichita is bound to open the gate to Oklahoma, and Hutchinson is just as much bound to keep it shut. AVe confess an inability to see any disadvantage to Kansas in the settlement of that territory, but on the other hand, fully believe that it would be an advantage to the state. Now that the "Wichita Eagle has taken up the question of capital removal, there is lisely to be somethiug accomplished. The Kansas seat of government will be moved to a more convenient spot, or else the state will be cut in twain, and that at no very distant day. The fact that a citizen of Morton county must travel over five hundred miles to the capital of the is out of all reason.

Senator Fix'jib, Congressman Peters, with other members of Congress, are spoken of as likely to receive cabinet recognition in President Harrison's administration. Wo 'hope that Gen. Harrison will do nothing of the kind. Senator Plumb is too valuable a senator, S. II.

Peters too good a Representative of the greatest district in America, to be shelved by cabinet positions. He-sides, the national legislature is too uncomfortably close to chance taking any Republican who 13 now, or likely to be, a member of the House, for the next four years. THE COUNTY. Mcpherson. The farmers are rejoicing over their bountiful corn harvest.

Nearly everybody has finished husking. The two 8-horse power corn-shellers run respectively by the Messrs. Goycns and by Carson Magruder, are doing splendid work. Wheat looks well, considering a dry fall. Mr.

II. U. Carson (son of J. returned home from the eastern part of the state, last week. He is looking well.

Mr. John Humphrey and wife have just returned from a flying visit to Missouri. John says there is too much mud back there for him. Mr. Amos Magruder returned last Thursday from a flying visit to Hodgeman county, where he went for a few days to see his family.

What is the difference between a man that will repudiate part of a debt anda man that will decidedly refuse to pay a debt? Mr. J. II. Smith is the proud possessor of a new Bain wagon. Quite a number of coyotes have been seen around here lately.

Where are the wolf hunters? Andy Clark returned Monday from a big hunt in the territory. Leta, the youngest daughter of Sydney Fletcher, is very sick. The literary and debating club of Hew Hope is progressing nicely, and draws large houses. Last week the question, "Resolved, That whisky does more damage to the human family than tobacco," was opened in the affirmative by J. M.

Linsey and handled without gloves. Frank Goyen, the chief disputant on the negative, is a splendid speaker, and handled his side of the question in good shape. Rev. Millsap is holding a series of religious meetings at Cairo. The third quarterly conference of the United Brethren in Christ will convene at Georgetown at 3 p.

LOGAN. The farmers are pretty well done gathering corn, and it is better than we counted on. Brother Millsap, of Kingman county, is holding a protracted meeting at Cairo, which is resulting in much good. Let the good work go on. Jo Centers is a bachelor now, his wife having gone east.

Frank Postlewait wears a smile. He says that it is a girl, and his only regret is that it can't vote make the Republican majority in Kansas any larger. Charlie Dooly is telling that Grover has vetoed the election. You ought not to tell it, Charlie, as it may make trouble; for if Grover should hear of it lie might try it, as he can't fish, and he must have something to do. We have got a new town started in Logan township.

A town company office and lumber office are already on the ground, and Charlie Shaw is putting up a leed barn Charlie thinks she will boom, as he has struck salt, and is going to put down a well, Arthur Waldock made a trip to Arkansas Citv last week. He has returned and will probably stay with us now. Mr. Johnson's boys returned from the west on Thanksgiving day, and the old gentleman is now happy. J.

T. Kemp is thinning out the Coyotes this winter by trapping them. The election is over, and everybody learned enough during the campaign to be an orator. Why cannot we ha re a literary at Georgetown?

Hon. O. II. Bentley, state senator-elect of Wichita, was in Pratt last Monday, and favored this office with a call. The Senator was accompanied by his father, Mr.

Gideon Bentley, of Arcade, N. who is largely interested in Sedgwick and Kingman counties. He assured us that he had long heard of Pratt, and expected nothing but a board and paper town, and was much surprised to find instead a solidly built city with magnificent crick and stone buildings, in short a town such, as he said, it would take 150 years to build in New York state.

We are requested by Councilman Barnes to say that he did not inform the editor of that paper "that the city water works had been accepted and that they were able to furnish plenty of wster," and that as a matter of fact they have not been accepted.

We are furthur requested to say that the driven wells supply all the water that was expected of them, and that they are perfectly satisfactory.
