ARTT'S Those who having houses erected in Ingalls should be sure and have them to conform with the grade, as it looks so much better, and may save being compelled to either raise or lower them, at some ADDITION J- A call was published in the Union last week requesting the "actua farmers" of Gray county to meet at the Egbert school house on Saturday next, and from what we can learn, it is a deep laid scheme, gotten up by a few Cimarron cohorts to deceive the people, and force a third party ticket in the field this fall, composed of "actual farmers" only. Such course at this time would be suicida to the best interests of the masses of the residents of Gray county, and should be promptly nipped in the bud, if that is the real object aimed at. If it is a meeting for the purpose of forming a Farmer's Alliance, or something of that sort, nothing can be said against it, but if other wise, the farmers should squelch the movement instanter. THE NORMAL. To keep abreast the onward march of civilization, Gray county is hold ine her first Normal Institute.

Our scholarly and obliging Co. Supt. has spared no pains in making arrange ments for a successful session. The Normal convenes in the church building, where all necessary appar atus is found. Our teachers con gratulate themselves on securing so able a Conductor as Prof.

His modes of instruction are at once-' instruct ive, wholesome and complete; The county is well represented by teachers. The attendance is good much better than expected.

There are a goodly number of experienced teachers in attendance, most of whom take an earnest part in the ex ercises, and lend every energy to make the Institute a success. F.A.M. REPUBLICAN CENTRAL MITTEE MEETING. COM The members of the Republican Central Committee of Gray county are hereby notified that a meeting of said committe will beheld at the office of the County Attorney in the town of Ingalls on Saturday, August 17th 1889, at 2 p. for the purpose of transacting any business that may properly come before said committee.

Geo. W. Dunn, Chnm. J. L.

Cailey, Sec. A number of Cimarronites will gaze on the sights of Sells Circus at Dodge City, Monday, lhey will drink balloon juice and red lemonade, eat mammoth sticks of barber pole candy, twist the elephant's tail, look at the animals, come home broke and cuss the county. A circus is a circus and the people will go. Cimarron Jacksoman. Yes, Garten was there, and is now under bond to appear before the Po lice Court at Dodge City on Thurs day to answer the charge of disturb' ing the peace of that city.

The edi tor of the Jacksonian will carry one "eye in a sling" on that occasion. Verily, the way of the transgressor is hard. E. J. Clark has prepared an article for publication which refutes in an able and concise manner, all of the slanderous and false statement which were made in last weeks Jacksonian, concerning his bills, which were recently allowed by the commissioners.

Said article was handed us too late or publication this week, but it will a few of the citizens of Eminence Garfield county, were over at Ra vanna for the purpose of moving the Treasurer's office to Eminence, some one of the Ravannaites, during the dinner hour, broke the knobs and combination plate off of the safe doors, to prevent the Treasurer, who is an Eminence man, from transac ting business for the county. Any man guilty of such nefarious, work should be made to suffer severely for his crime. The Topeka Capital of Saturday last in an elaborate article entitled "Reclaiming Barren Land," has the following to say of western Kansas Kansas has made great progress very recently in irrigating its western and southwestern counties. There is no question of greater interest in that section of the state to-day. canal some ninety miles long, exten ding from Ingalls, in Gray county, east through Dodge City to Kinsley, wattering portions of three counties and capable of bringing into pro ductiveness 3000,000 acres of dry land, has been constructed at a cost with necessary reservoirs, of about 1,000,000.

The success of this ditch, 45 feet wide with an average depth of 5 feet, shows what irrigation can do. Two other ditches, on much smaller scale, in the same section have accomplished much for the lands contiguous. The people of this portion of Kansas have perhaps a more correct practical con ception of how irrigation can be ac complished than any others who will be called upon tor data by the sen atorial committee now in St. Paul. When sowing wheat with a drill.

be sure and put it in, from east to west; The Kansas State Fair will be held this year' at from Sept. 16th to 2lSt. R. G. Dunn Co.

say that "the country begins to feel the stimulus of good crops. A Hiawatha man claims to own part of the Emporia town site, and will sue for the possession of it. Atchison is to have a system of electric clocks, put in by the Western Union Telegraph company. The total expenses of the peniten tiary for the month were 11,275.91 and the total cash receipts 15,458.93 A 14,000,000 fire visited Spokane Falls. W.

August jcth. Several parties lost their lives in the flames. Ellis Garten twisted the wrong "elephant by the tail" at Dodge City Monday last, and received a black eye in consequence. Clothes-pins are a very extensive and profitable manufacture in Mich igan, where five factories are reported. One New York firm often takes 20 carloads at a time.

The Cimarron Jacksonian is such a vile, slanderous, obscene sheet, that it should no longer be allowed to pass through the mails. The Topeka Capital of Sunday last was a model paper in every re spect. Its crop report for Kansas makes an excellent showing. J. W.

Gregory, editor of the Gar den City Sentinel, was convicted of perjury a few days since, in swearing to a county voucher. An appeal to the supreme court has been taken. P. H. Loomis, editor of the Gar field Call, has been appointed postmaster of Eminence.

We congrat ulate Bro. Loomis, and hope that he may make "skads" of money out; of it. Mr. Ferrel and Mr. Slaughter have had their wheat and rye threshed, which turned out quite well.

Miss Daisy Hensely returned to her home in Ingalls Monday, after a week's sojourn with Ada Marble. Ask her how she likes camping out. A nice shower accompanied with some hail visited us Saturday evening. The first rain we have had for several weeks. It will help out some of the late crops.

F. A. Mitchell and Ada Marble will represent our neighborhood at the Normal at Ingalls. F. A.

will camp out, while Miss Ada will batch it with the other girls. Bring in your chewing gum. Our school meeting was well attended. Director, F. A.

J. Clark, Each and all are good trustworthy men, who have served our county faithfully during our past troubles, and now peace is restored, repay them- by giving them your vote at the coming election. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Couch made a short visit to their homestead and neighbors last week, returning to their new home in Kingfisher, I.

last Monday. They are very much pleased with Kingfisher, and report crops and vegetables growing nicely, and plenty of are an unknown article. They burn the genuine, wood. We are the recipient of an Indian moccasin to place in our cabinet of curiosities. "Buckeye" and "Jerusha Pepper- sauce are two good correspondents.

We hope they will give us their ideas often. They are doing a good act by helping the Union, which is a good paper to stand by. Help to make your home paper interesting, and when necessary it will help you. Alsie. Following is a list of those who were enrolled, and in attendance at the Normal up to Tuesday noon: D.

The melons will be made in to vinegar, and the seed sold to a New York seed firm. An exchange says: ''The custom of publishing a card of thanks for kindness shown in the family upon the death of a member is no longer considered in good taste, and for ex cellent reasons. Persons in assisting in caring for sick or deceased neigh bors are only, doing what common humanity demands of them, and their reward will come when they are obliged to accept like services." Points For The Housewife.

A scientific journal gives ten good things worth knowing. 1. Salt curdles milk and should not be added until the dish is pre pared. 2. Clean boiling water will re move fruit and tea stains.

3. Ripe tomatoes will remove ink and other stains from white cloth and also from the hands. 4. A tablespoonful of turpentine added while boiling clothes, will aid the whitening process. 5.

Boiled starch is much im proved by the addition of a little sperm salt or dissolvedgum" arabic 6. Beeswax and salt will make rusty fiat irons as clean and smooth as glass. 7. Blue ointment and kerosene, in equal proportions, applied to bed steads, is an unfailing bug remedy, 8. Kerosene' will soften boots and shoes when hardened with water and render them pliable.

o. Kerosene will make tea kettles as bright as new; saturate a woolen rag and rub with it. 10. Cool rain water and soda will remove machine grease from wash able fabric. Cream in Milk, In raising cream, the following facts should be constantly kept in mind: Milk contains a percentage of fat, in the form of minute parti cles, too small to be visible to the naked eye.

These particles, or glo bules, as they are called, are not chemically combined with the other constituent parts of the milk, and therefore move freely from place to place in the milk. These globules are, as it were, a foreign substance in the milk, as fine dust would be in any liquid. It is the presence of this fat in milk that gives to milk its But ter-making quality. These fatty par tides, being lighter than the milk itself, have a constant tendency to rise to the surface, there to remain, more or less mixed with the milk. The fat does not all rise to the surface, for a part of it remains in the lower portion of the milk.

The result of this rising is that the upper portion of the milk becomes richer than the original milk in fats, while the lower portion be comes poorer. Ihe fat globules in milk, while free to move about in it, are not absolutely separate fron other constituent parts of milk. Some of the Caseine, or "cheesy" portion of the milk, adheres to the fat globules with more or less tenacity. The adhering substance being heavier than the globules, it weighs down the latter in some degree, impedes them in their upward movement, and along with the milk, makes up the bulk of cream.
