KINGS SP BOMB VOLUME I. BONNER SPRINGS, WYANDOTTE COUNTY, FRIDAY, MAY 0, 1890. Hon. M. C.

Harris, of Glen Monthly Bf port of the Slate Board of Afrt-culture tot AyrU, 10CALBRIEFS. Bring us your job printing. Good work; reasonable prices. Office soekers are threatening to We believe there will be a great deal of building done in Bonner Springs this summer and fall. All indications point that way at least.

Currie Harrison, plasterers, bricklayers and stonemasons, of this place, have an ad. in this week's paper. You should see them when needing work done. The new stamps have made their appearance at this post-ofllce. What has become of Wanamaker's three nn Qlinnf smit" hours, wishing jar.

Dr. L. B. Maxwell hns received an entirely new stock of drugs to bo used his practice. Old drugs thrown away.

Almost every day we read of some one in the cities having blown out the gas on retiring to their room in a hotel It seems to us that it is time to call a halt on this mode of killing inex perienced people and enact such laves as will compel hotel kcepors and their employes to give guests such instruct ions in regard to the gas as will check the loss of life from this fiend. Some supple-jointed lads came down from the prairie to our town last Sun day to have a game of base ball. But they could get no game out of our sports. The religious sentiment seems to have been worked up to such a pitch at Bonner Springs that only the game of pool or a little feather-weight scrapping practice and the like, is any longer in order on Sunday. Such marks of religious progress are encouraging uiueeu.

Our public schools closed last Friday with a picnic in the beautiful Park in the afternoon. The program con sisted of vocal and instrumental music, recitations, dialogues, and a few recitations by I. D. Wilson, who ren dered them in his usual proficient and charming manner. All present expressed themselves as having had an enjoyable time.

When you ask your home paper to do a job of printing for you at Kansas City prices, does the thought ever occur to you that you cannot sell goods at Kansas City prices, competing with those large firms that buy their goods by the train load? A merchant one day asked the editor of his home paper why he did not run a paper like that, and handed him a copy of tho Chicago Inter Ocean. The reply was, for the i same reason that you do not run a store like that, pointing to the picture of a seven-story building occupied by a well known firm. That man had never thought of that, and so a great many merchants do not hen they want job printing at low prices. An exchange says: Boys, when yon speak of your father don't call him "old man." Of course you are older than when you learned to call him "father," your clothes fit you better, your hat is a better shape and your hair is combed differently. You are "flyer" than you were then.

Your father has a last year's coat and a two year old hat, and a vest of still older pattern. He can't write such an elegant note as you can and all that, but don't call him "old man," call him father. For years he has been hustling to get things together, and he's had mighty little progress some years; he's been held to the thorny path of uphill Industry for years, and half of life the brighest half has gone out of his life forever. FRIENDSHIP. Contributed.

Friendship is an attachment be tween persons of good dispositions. habits and pursuits, it has its origin in the nature of man. He is a social creature and loves to frequent society and enjoy the affections of others. He is also feeble, and a sense of this weakness, renders friendship indispensible, though he may have all other enjoyments within his reach. When in difficulty and distress, he looks around for advico, assistance and consolation.

We can scarcely open any of the volumes of antiquity, without being reminded how excellent a thing is friendship. The example of David and Johnathan, Damon and Pythias, all show to what a degree of enthu siasm it was sometimes carried. But it is to be feared in modern times that friendship is seldom remarkable for similar devotedness. By people it is regulated by self-interest. What would be more intolerable than the consciousness that in all the wide worfd not one heart beat in unison with our own, or cared for our wel fare.

What indescribable happiness must it be on the other hand to possess a real friend, a friend who will instruct and assist, who will bear a willing part in our calamity and rejoice when the hour of happiness returns. But it cannot be denied that the world contains men who are happy to find a heart they can prevert or a head they can mislead if thus their unworthy ends can be more surely attained. Caution in the formation of friendship is therefore la the highest degree necessary. We should closely scrutinize lives and characters. We must assure ourselves of the truth of those we open our hearts in friendship, if we would not have bad influences inserted in our own hearts and dispositions, and find ourselves abandoned to the cold charities of the world.

We need friends like that of Damon and Pythias who was filling to die for each other. bun, Ulin IT The guests departed In the "wee 11 Is, I am now receiving the largest i best line ot Ladies Dress Goodsr Ever brought to Bonner Springs.

Clai-k'fl idea of the poise of friend David's head so far as fertilizers are concerned, it is agreed all around that David is a good fellow and that his head is level. A young fellow at Lenape very late ly played the role of Lochinvar with great success. She whose name was Ada Sedgwick, being religiously inclined, wanted to go to "meetin" and nothing would do but she must go to "meetin" at Lenape. A young man named Lewis Treff, being fond of Ada and wanting to encourage her devotional ambition, took her down to Lenape in his best "rig." But as soou as the meeting adjourned, Ada slipped away to the depot at that place with another fellow; then took the lirst tram for Kansas City and were there made man and wife. What the retlec-tions of sir.

Treff were, as all alone he drove his rig over the long lonesome road homeward can be better imagined than told. Professor Canfiald, tfce director ot the seminary of Historical and Political Sciences, at the university, announces that at the regular meeting, to be held this afternoon, Prof. Black-mar and ex-Governor Robinson will discuss the proposition to establish government loan office in every county, and loan currency directly to producers at a rate of Interest not to exceed 3 per cent; these loan offices to take place of the present banking system. The meeting will be one of great interest, owing to the importance of the topic just at this time an -the eminence of the gentlemen wha will discuss it. Capital.

The first high power breech loading 8 inch rifle made entirely of American steel lately passed a successful test at the Naval Ordnance Proving Ground, at Annapolir. The gnn is one of four intended for the cruiser Baltimore, Its forgings are from Bethlehem, and the machining and assembling were done at the Washington Navy Yard. With a sample of brown prismatic powder furnished by Messers. Du Pont, of Wilmington, a muzzle velocity of 2,120 feet per second was obtained, with a 110 pound charge and 15,5 tons pressure. The projectile weighed 2o( pounds and ita velocity was tho highest ever attained by an 8 inch shell ia this country.

Among other interesting features of the trial were the apparent ease and smoothness with which the enormous force of recoil-amounting to over 100 foot tons wa controlled in the short space of 27 laches, without jar or vibration, by the compact and light carriage on whicU the gun was mounted. This, says the Army aud Navy Eegistcr, is one of the bureau's hydraulic center pivot carnages, and was constructed at the Washington Xavy wood, who is well known "in this and surrounding community, went to Kansas uty one day last week to submit to adifucultonu danger ous surgical operation. Tho ciutso of tho disorder, which for a long time had given him much pain and uneasiness, was not brought to light until tho operation. The surgeons found that a pin which had sometime been swallowed by him had passed through his body and become imbedded in tho inner wall of tho abdomen. Upon re moval of tho pin, tho first impres sion was that Mr.

Harris was placed out of danger and would speedily recover Ins wonted health. But the operation though skill fully and successfully accomplished was a severe strain upon his sys tem, and he still lies in the hospital in a very critical condition. Our old townsman Charles Pe terson who wound up business about two months ago and went back to his nativo country, Swed en, is so well pleased with the situation there, that he has concluded not to return, but to pass the remainder of his days in that country. This we arc warantcd in saying from letters received by his family since his arrival there. It is seldom that old country people after coming to America and living here, whether a long or short timo, ever care to go back again, nr.

Peterson and his wife came to this country about 20 years ago bringing with them no cnpital but a capacity to work hard and an abiding faith that hard work and economy will do to depend upon through the varied ups and downs incident to human existence, and their industry and faith were justified by the outcome. After so many years they succeeded in accumulating a handsome competence. Since the purchasing power and the social prestige of the dollar or its equivalent is considerably greater in Sweden than in this country, Mr. Peterson has doubtless decided wisely from' a mere selfish stand- point, although there are sentiments nearer and dearer to the heart, and these doubtless had weight in shaping his decision. As the poet has written There no tpot on this wide peopled earth, So dear to tbe bean as the laud ot our birth.

We believe it is the arrangement that Mrs. Peterson now in this place, and her son Oscar, employed in Kansas City, will rejoin the head of the family in Sweden some time during the or autumn. SURPRISE PASTY. One of the prettiest parties giv en this season was a surprise tendered F. C.

Prohibition in Kansas was never more a fact than now. The law where faithfully executed has shown its ability to annihilate the saloon. What effect this decision will produce upon the situation, will be developed in time, and in not such an eternity of time either. Lawrence Record. Exchange: The population of Kan sas is composed of the choicest selections from all the states.

It was settled by the and courage of all sections and is more cosmopolitan in its character than any other sovereignty in the federal union. It is an aggregation of picked specimens of the highest type of manhood, and comprises a citizenship, tho physical, intel lectual and moral development of which finds no paralled on the face of the globe. It is governed by the advanced thought and the mighty moral forcos that are at work in every community, and the morality, justice and loyalty of its people have found ex pression in the enactment of laws which more fully guarantee the enjoyment of natural and inherent rights than are vouchsafed to any other people, state, nation or principality on earth. Woman is recognized and ac credited as the equal of man, and her rights more nearly secured to her than in any other political division in the nation compact. It is truly the "land of tho leal," where fidelity to principle, loyalty to the government and cheerful obedience to its laws, commands a higher respect than ancestral dignity or the regal magnificence of wealth.

Come to Kansas! The man who has taith in his town makes it the subject of cheerful con versation, writes of it with words of hope and confidence, and attractively sots forth its advantages, sells all he can at home, tries to invite people from other places, instead of sending the people of his town to other places to trado, takes a personal interest in all the movements tending to develop the resources of his community, whenever he goes abroad he leaves an impression on the minds of strangers that there is no town on the continent like it. He will see in public improvements something desirable though it may add a few cents to his taxes. Such a man as that is an inspiration and a blessing to a town. Success comes to a commu nity when its people thoroughly be lieve In it, and their works show faith The tramp is an outlaw in every com munity and the grumbler ought to be. The man who is of any permanent good in the world is one who plants himself in a home, becomes a useful and interesting member of society, is active and public spirited, encourages every laudible enterprise, and sees in his own town grand possibilites for the future.

Stand up for your own town.n The following by Bob Burdetteon the way the heathen are mentally mixed up by the men of creeds sent to convert- them isn't so bad: Dis hearted missionery, returning to his field of absence, to one of his back sliding converts: unhappy man, you have elapsed into error and darkness and paganism again!" Chief heathen, apologetically. Well, you see after you went away, a Catholic missionary came along and told us the bad place was full of Methodists, and so he scared us into communion; then he went away and a Presbyterian came along and waked us up on regeneration and election, and we joined his church; then an Episcopalian came and we burned our Westminsters and stocked upon prayer books; then he left and a Baptist landed and walked us into the water and baptised us right; and we'd just about got settled when a New Congregationalist came over and told us that as long as we were heathens we had a dead sure thing of going to heaven, but if we be came christians we had to walk mighty straight or go to the everlasting bon fire.

Dr. L. A. Sayrc, an" eminent physician out in the state of New York, protests strongly agamtt the use of quinine outside of the medical profession. lie says that it is poisonous in many cases, and causes derangement of the mind.

If this is so, the wonder is that there are so many people here and hereabouts who are not utter wrecks both in body and mind. When this region was first settled, quinine and corn bread were the principle stand by, and it is still the case that whenever there is any unprofessional doctoring to be done, quinine is tho drug most commonly called for.
