In ISSd or '8-1 and thereafter, final pronf notices were made before the probate judge or clerk of tho district court. This was done because of tho great rush of work in the proof business about that time so the homesteader could have two chalices, if one officer was busy he could mako proof before the other one. Some three or four months ugo, the local land offices wero notified that all proof notices thus advertised were illegal and a new proof must bo mado. Their grounds for making this ruling is, tho clerk of tho district court is no officer of record, but, why need that invalidate a proof advertised and mado before tho probate judge though tho district clerk's name did appear in tho notice. Tho result is simply this, and nothing more, (for certainly nobody was hurt or no injustice done iu these huudrod-i of men who had proven up havo thus been compelled to bo to tho cxponso of a now proof, and hundreds of dollars justly belonging to the families of homestnudcrs have boon ami aro being transferred from Iho poor man's pocket to that of the publisher of some democratic newspaper for tho present powers that be, will uot permit any work to be done by republican papers whore a democratic paper can bo found.

Another despicable feature of this democratic wwnoitoly business, is tho fact that where the land upon wbich theso alleged illegal proofs havo been made, has been mortgagod.and the mortgagor has loft tho country, the monopolist, (democratic- administration) will not accept a content on it. Why is thin so? If I he proof is illegal, why should not tho land bo contestable. Is it not possible "Jk hat there is au agreement between tho laud offices and lie holders of thoso mortgages to divide the spoils. 'Ileum the land is not contestable The New lira, I he leading democratic Married. By Elder J.

n. Connor, in Hill City, Oct. 10th 1888, Mr. Joseph Hito and Miss Baird, all of Graham county, Kau. We had the proceedings of the convention and a reviow of tho ticket in type, bnt it got pied, and our readora will have to excuse the omission.

Reveille, Sept. 28, 1888. Wonder if it got pied again last week. Lula Bunn, daughter of Jed! Buun, living near Gettysburg, was kicked in the face by a mule last Friday, and it i a wonder eha was net killod outright. Her front teeth wore knocked out and face badly bruk-ed.

Never trust a mule. TnE all home print and great and only religebus republican pvohibition paper published iu Graham connty, the Reveille, has become a thing of the past, 60 far as the all home priut is concerned, and the other boasted part painfully scarce. The Colby Tribune took second premium at tho state fair, Topeka, for best consecutive five numbers of weekly newspapers, published in Kansas. We congratulate not only Brother Kelloy, but the whole of northwestern Kansas, on this recognition of merit. A new tswn has been laid off on tho Ben Chadsey land seven or eight miles vest 'of the City.

One of our stone masons, Wm. McDowell, went thero Monday, having contracted to lav foundations for seven new buildings. This is also on the line of the L. C. railroad.

Remember tho Littlu Twinkleii will compare with any of its contemporaries as to quantity and quality of its home news matter. A comparison of the last weeks issue with any of thera will be sufficient, The Star shall be the best paper published in Graham county. A. Philadelphia optician claims that thousands of women who have suffered with weak eyes all these years can attribute tha cause to no other than the excessive chewing of gum when girls, and that in the majority of cases of sore, and weak eyes, among girls to-day, they wore mado so by gum chewing. H.

Patekson, of Hoxio, wants to know the whereabouts of his sou, aged 15 years, TnE Kansas fwrwer has just added to its many other useful features weather department, in which will be published every week, official reports furnished by tho Kansas weather service, showing crop conditions, with temperature, rainfall, in all parts of the state, together w'itu Prof. Blako's weather predictions, meteorological notes, and crop suggestions for every week and mouth iu tho yoar. These weather predictions havo won for Mr. Blake a world-wide reputation. Thousands of farmers want his predictions, but would prefer to have thorn iri an agricultural journal, rather than iu one devoted to scientilio subjects, as his paper, The Future, was, and on that account tho Kansas Farmer, has made arrangements with Prof.

Make to publish his regular monthly weather predictions one mouth in advance, together with his weekly observations concerning weather and crops, so that subscribers to the Farmer will got tho benefit of these weekly contributions on a most interesting subject. Trof. Blake is not a weather crank; ho in a scholar of many years training. He began hi3 meteorological researches thirty ears ago; he believes ho has discovered tho real causes of tho earth's climate, and its weather peculiarities, and he believes that important changes of weather can bo predicted as certainly ns eclipses of tho situ or moon. His predictions are based wholly upon astronomical mathematics; what tho figures show, that ho takes to bo true.

Ho has been remarkably accurate in hia predictions, and every year's experience serves to convince him more fully that his faith ia well grounded. A cart lad, more or lens, of democratic compaign literatnre.arrivcd in this county last week, among which ia a folded card which bears the unmistablo "cheekiuess" of the party issuing it. Tliia ia a bid for soldier votes. Impudence, sycophancy and faleshood is tho subntance aud marrow of the whole thing, and is nn open insult to tho intelligence of the eoldicr clement. Impudent because the claim that tho Into democratic administration bus been friendly to union soldiers, in by everybody who ever wore tho blue.kuowu Oarnett wants a fow loads of W.

'shod, thus creating competition, groat many notices wero publinhej for lesa than half that amount, until democratic "tariff re form" ordered that all proof notices bo published iu democratic papers only, Antither hypocritical cry of that "reform" party is, opposition to trusts mid monopolies. We nupposa then, charging the poor homesteader live -dollars, became ho is compelled to advertise in a democratic paper, when ho could got the work done for Ibreo dollars, is not a "monopoly" no, "reform." The facta are, by this pernicious system of "reform" the poor western pioneer, who has had every reverse known to frontier life, to contend with, has been robbed of that which he and his family needed to provide tho tieccpsarics of life. But tho announcement of tho New Era in but an acknowledgment that this sort of reform will be discontinued ns soon us possible after the Novemhor election, bonce ho must steal as much as possible while he can. We understand a contract has already been mado with F. D.

Turk, that if elected eounly attorney, he will immediately open up the county sent, question, if it is possible to get the courts to entertain his alleged cause of action, nnd it is stated that this is tho principle argument on the south sidf, as a reason for electing him. Fnblio boaats have been mado on the streets that as soon as Turk became county attorney, the county Beat case would bo re-opened. While there are those who nn doubt financial Ions iu its removal to Hill City, wo are prorntcd to pay the peoplo of Graham county Bottled this matter by an overwhelming Majority, and any man or set of men who fchull now nf leiiipt to agitate or reopen it a deliberate and avowed enemy to the general welfare of our people. It could result in nothing mors nor less than a longjedions and expensive law suit, the expenses of which must inevitably be saddled upon the tax payer, who is now already overbnrdened, besides all the old bitteriiesefjs, general and local, would be again torn open and pandimonium would be the condition of our county. This would indeed be) a ciJamif that must be avoided.

Everything in the way pul-lic progress and advancement, would of a liecesfiity be not only retarded, but slopped. Let ns hope there is not amnn in Graham county who would precipitate such a strife as this would certainly become. tJity Butter 20 cent? per pound. Bggn cents pr doz. C'aobatt 2', centH per pound.

The City Council have reeouUy passed ordinances: To have 1st.

At the dedication of tho Congregational church on last Sabbath a balance of 351 due Iho church, and $11 over, was raised by subscription and the church dedicated free of debt, leaving a balance in tho treasury of 811. This certainly epeaks well for the people of Hill City, and is one of the epoch's in her history wbich marks tho gonuiueness of her progreps, and certainly of her future prosperity in those things which life worth living. A CEiiTAiK candidate for county attorney, made the statement on our streets the other day, that our county commissioners, who havo been detained hero for some time on railroad matters, would bankrupt the county, That candidate is fcithor woefully ignorant himself or presumes on the ignorance of the people to an extent that borders upon impudence, when ho himself does not know or presumes tho people do not know that the railroad company has every dollar of Iho bill to pay, incurred in their labor for said road. The "totber" wing of the "unterriflcd" iln'i' i.aCy met in convention at the school hotipe Inst Saturday, and if the convention held tho week before was a chaotic mass of human discontent this one was mora so, for order and harmony if ever possessed by any member of that convention, the virtue bad evidently been laid away for future use before leaving home. Everybody seemed bent upon the one bjcct, and that Vbs to get even with his rieighljor.

Sycophantic, because tho "boys" all know who their friends, arc, and this servile truckling, ndula-tiny by an enemy, is J.ho meauosfc fcind of flattory, and to understood by the c.x-soldiers. The array of figures though, they may bo true as to Iho actual record, are wholly fulue, iu tho enpaciiy they are mado to appear, for Iho reason that tho largo increase of pensions during the pant throo and a half years, is only tho result of laws enacted before ever any body dreamed of a democratic reclaiming of of applications for pensions made ten or fifteen years ago. The great vol-nnran of pensions grunted under Clovo-landii administration was under the old law, aud neither Cleveland nor his party could prevent them.

Wo believe in doing exact justice to nil men and parties, but all men know tho present administration has thrown every obstaclo iu the way possible to prevent pensions being allowed ex-nnion soldiers, and professions jpf sympathy and friendship coming from that party, ure only evidences' of tho depths of meanness into which men can get. This sort of enmpaign work can only, and will lono more votes for the domocrnlia party than it will gain.
