If my estates were worth millions they would be of no service to me after death, but would be a curse to my heirs and, believing through a philosophical view that I have solved the problem of life, I am ready to get out of the way of the 'enterprising citizens' of Atchison, and will sell to any individual or syndicate my entire property in and adjoining the city at present rnling prices, and give a discount of twenty-five per cent. I will sell it thus on time up to twenty years at the option of the purchaser, and hereby give thirty days in which to accept the offer, which is in all respects bonafide." Elwood Co.

It is only about seven and half months before the day set for the eight-hour work-day movement goes into effect.

There is a great deal of hard, earnest work to be done before May 1, 1886, arrives, and the workers in every line of occupation should be up and agitating continually, and the matter brought to the attention of the general public, and the sentiment of the people aroused favorably on it. If the intention is really to make an effort next May to have the eight-hour measure adopted by employers, there is certainly no time to be lost between now and that time, but every workingman and every labor organization should be generally talking up and working up the matter to insure its success. It is a question of great vital importance and must succeed, as in it lies to a considerable extent the workingman 's future, and the future'of future generations. With eight hours to a day's work there will be ample time allowed each one to read and improve the mind, to know what is going on around him, and to expand all the intellectual abilities with which his nature is imbued. It will give more time to enjoy the charms of the family circle, to converse with one's children (for in the rearing of children lies their future), and receive the much needed rest of body and brain.

A reduction in the hours of labor is demanded on moral, material and sanitary grounds by the producers and business classes of this country, and the immediate reduction in hours would give employment to all who are idle, and revive an increase in wages. your HART) FAUN ED LOW WAGES.

I believe that Atchison real estate will advance largely during the coming year, and in the near future speculation will be rife, as it has been in towns of much less importance than Atchison when property bought one day will be from ten to one hundred per cent, higher the week following, and so on, until the owner of one lot in value, will be a fortunate individual. I am not, however, desirous of dying rich.

I wish, in all seriousness, to die poor, with all debts paid, and sufficient money to employ an undertaker with a spring wagon and buy an oaken coffin.

ATnCISON, KANSAS. H. JOCHEMS, HEADQUARTERS FOR Stoves, Hardware and Tinware, Gil Commercial Street. JACK ROBERTS. His Estate and Heirs George H.

Fairchild. A Welshman named Roberts, coming from the mining districts of Wales, and claiming to have served in war between Mexico and the United States in 1848, located his land warrant on a quarter section of land, in 1855, in what is now known as West Atchison. Some years later it was sub-divided into town lots and incorporated into the city plat and called "Roberts' Addition." During life, as opportunity offered and necessity required, he bartered and sold them for sustenance, liquid and solid he was an idle and dissipated man, never having a permanent boarding place was an object of charity during his latter days, and died in 1860, without making a will, with many debts unpaid. If he ever had a wife or family no mention was ever made of it by him during his five years' residence here. An administrator was appointed and his effects sold bo order of the probate court.

After the lapse of a quarter of a century a party claiming to be a son and heir to Jack Roberts' estate, threatens to bring suits to dispossess the present owners on the ground of alleged irregularities. Just what is sought to be accomplished by this proposed litigation is not so clearly apparent as it might be. The deeds made by Roberts unquestionably conveyed a good title, and to involve their owners, many of whom are poor people, in costly and prolonged litigation would be an act of rank injustice. Before commencing the suits the heir would perform a dutiful and praiseworthy act in visiting Atchison, looking up the old man's grave and erecting a monument, or a slab, or something to mark the place where his ashes repose. He was buried under the sheltering boughs of a small oak tree, on the highest point of the northern portion of the quarter, surrounded on all sides by burr oak brush.

The tree has long since disappeared from the face of the earth, and the little mound of fresh clay, with a rough stone at either end, lasted but a brief while, exposed as it was to be trampled upon by the herds of cattle so numerous here in those days. Roberts has been dead twenty-five years, and now rises up an heir to squabble for the possession of the old man's patch of scrub oaks and hazel brush that industry and enterprise of others has transformed into a suburban village worth a million dollars. Among the purchasers from the administrator were two wide-awake business men who were not likely to be imposed upon in the matter of title. They were L. Kiper and Geo.

II. Fair-child. The. former still resides in this city, and -is abundantly able to take care of himself but a few words in reference to the latter Thirty years ago George II. Fairchild was one of the brightest young men in Bridgeport, and an expert bank clerk, possessing the confidence and esteem of many influential and wealthy friends.

He was happily married to a beautiful and accomplished young lady; and was soon after made cashier of the only bank at Waverly, New York, a new village on the Erie railroad, which is now a flourishing railroad and commercial center. He was a stirring young fellow, generous to a fault, affable, and withal ambitious. Although a pronounced democrat he was several times elected to local offices in a strong republican town. He was captain of the local militia company, which, by the way, was named the "Fairchild Guard," and was pomoted, probably for gallantry at the village balls, as that was the most agreeable, if not the most important duty of the Empire soldiers of that day, to the field office of major. He removed from Waverly to Atchison, became mayor of the city, and the oider citizens are familiar with the history of his subsequent lif a life that seemed a chosen jewel of the Maker, with cheerful settings to be a joy to others, but upon which has fallen the darkness of lunacy and shut out forever the brightness of early manhood.

Workingmen, you must pull together; work in unison. Prove to all that you mean business, and that you are determined never to relax your efforts in the good cause until victory is Your every move is noted, your every weak point tested, and your every victory recognized. You are gaining in numbers every day, and thousands more are ready to swell your ranks if you but convince them that you are working harmoniously in the labor cause. Keep this fact ever in your mind's eye, ye hardy sons of toil, and work with all your might and eventually you will gain one of the grandest battles ever fought.
