A great many laboring men in Kansas City are investigating the advan tages to be derived from living in Bon ner bpnngs. Here they buy a home within their means and in Kansas City they can't. The only drawback to living here is the lack of train facilities, and we hope to see that obstacle overcome in a short time. What we most need is a suburban train that will make one or two round trips to Kansas City every day at such hours as will enable people to get to their business and Work in the morning and return at the proper time in the even ing, and everyone interested should make a mighty effort to get this train put on and have it done at once. Do something besides talking and seeing what it costs for the train.

Make a well organized and united effort to se cure such a train. In short, do some thing! 'Let, those most interested make a thorough canvass and ascer tain as near as possible how many regular custemers could be secured for the train each day. In this way some intelligent idea can be formed of how much additional money would be required. A cheaper rate of fare would of courso be very acceptable, but a suburban train at the preset rate of fare which is very reasonable would be a great benefit to the town and to the people who desire to live here. Should such a train be put on now, it is reasonable to suppose that from 150 to 200 houses would be built here this year and that would increase our population 500 or C00.

Of course the parties who would receive the most benefit wonld be the ones who are largely interested in real estate here and they should be the ones to take the lead in the matter. A SPLENDID OFFER. Beginning with the issue of January 2d, 1800, the Topeka Weekly Capital was enlarged from 8 to 12 pages, and otherwise strengthened in every feature. It is a Kansas paper for Kansas people all the time, and worthy of patronage. Having made special arrangements with the publisher, we are enabled to offer the Bonner Springs Citizen and the Topeka Weekly Capital, both one year for $1.50.

Every Kansas man should have hit local paper, for home news and a papei from the capital of the state. Give this combination a trial. WHEAT AND POTATO SHIPMENTS. The following shipments were mach from this station this week over the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe road, all of which goes to show that Bonnei Springs is not to be sneezed at: B. M.

Michaels, one car of wheat to Kansas City. W. W. Fisher, four cars of potatoes to Chicago. J.

C. Setzer, three cars wheat tc Kansas City. D. E. Man ran viBe, fine car to Kansas City.

i Win. Ilahn, one car wheat to Kansas City. C. E. Jaggard, one car of wheat to Leavenworth.

One car of coal received for It. J. Brawner, from Lansing. An exchange takes occasion to re mark that rejected manuscripts are a standing joke with magazines and other metropolitan publications, yet few people think how numerous are the pages of written matter that is declined by every county town editor in the course of a year. There is a great deal that is rejected for no other rea son than unsuitability or worthless- ness, and then there is much really good matter that cannot be published because the articles are too long for limited space.

Not an inconsiderable part is anonymus communications which are generally attacks on people who have given offense to the writers. The success of a paper depends upon what it keeps out as well as what it prints. There are always any amount of persons willing to write communications abusive of some one, but nine times out of ten they omit their real names and expect the editor to shoulder all the blame for it. IN MEMORIAM, Austin W. Harvey came to Kansas in in the fall of '54 or early in '55 from his native home in the State of Ken tucky where he first united with the Baptist church.

He married Miss Elizabeth Marshall in the early part of '56, who died in '57 at the town of Winchester, Jefferson county. He united with the Hebron Baptist church of Jefferson county, the oldest Baptist church in Kansas. He was married to Mrs. Harriet Crossman, of Leaven worth county, in the spring of '62, In after years he settled in Jefferson county, where he owned a handsome farm. He ever lived a consistent christian life and had many warm friends because he was a man of truth.

He moved to Leavenworth county in '78 and remained there 3 years, thence to Wyandotte county where he buried bis second wife in the year of '84, who was a member of the Baptist church, a constant christian and a faithful and devoted wife. Brother Harvey at his death was a member of the Baptist church at Bonner Springs, where he fell asleep ia Jesus on the 18th of May 1890, at the age of "5 years. He longed to be with Christ. The people of Bonner Springs were kind and tender to him. May God bless them, and may we meet the departed on the other shore.
