Two The season is again upon us for des tructive prairie fires, and every farmer in the county should take time by tne forelock and prepare for a case ot an emergency. Thousands of dollars worth of property is destroyed by fire in Kansas every year, simply on count of neglect of the fanners to plow a few furrows around their timber buildings, stacks, etc. The prairie fires are as sure to come as spring, and none should be so neglectful as to loose sight of the importance of a good fire guard at this time of the year. Last week farmer's house in Pratt county burned, and with it his infant child, all occa sioned by this criminal neglect.

The renowned Louise Sylvester plays the Opera house two nights next week Wednesday and Thursday, March 11 and 12 and we unhesitatingly announce that these performances will be the event of our dramatic seas isyivesier iame as an anisi has long since proceeded her in every city, town or hamlet where papers are read. She has been leading lady at two tne roreniosi tueaires or inis coun the Union Square and Wallacks both of New York, and as such has created more leading characters in the most prominent plays of our day than any other actress on the stage. For her initial performance here she has chosen "A Mountain Pink," a character which she created and has made famous in the same manner as Jefferson, liip Van Winkle or Southern's ci.t.o I wmaucaiy. UB Has uecn l-uusiuacuuuoui too ouuuho. mn-f i -k rr no Drrniirraar iij ri the profession.

She will doubtless greeted by large audiences on both nights, as all levers of the drama will not be slow to support a rea ly great attraction when it presents itself. i A Tl I Aast wees. r. ouauuun. to town and sola to our mercnanis several cords of wood, cut on his place west of town One of the rirst things Mr.

Shadduek did after locating his farm was to put out a large number of forest trees, and he is now receiving his reward for diligence in this matter, Tree culture to day is entirely neglec- tedbymanv of our farmers. Many of tlieni nave oeen nere uve anu ten years anu meir lanua tu-uaj aic wimuun a sign ota grove. 1 hose ot the early set- tiers that put out groves a few years ago now have all the fuel they need and poles to use on the farms, which is not only a great convenience but a great saving in dollars and cents. Where fuel is so dear it looks as though everyone with a farm would take time by the forelock and plant a grove, hich is not only a great improvement to the farm but is bound to return dol has for everv cent invested in this way. It is rather hard to estimate the vai- ue of a nice thrifty grove five or ten years old upon a farm.

Yet this is ivhat every one ought to have, and can tiave with a very little expense of time and money. Nothing that we can nave on the farm will bring us better vfiirtiu fir tha tirtiA anrl ttkitipv at. ti.n niM i of wst timber if properlv cared for. It is sin ular to note how farmers have neglect- I tliis importaut business when they sure of ample reward for their labor ui'l time expended in this direction. The law ought to compel every farmer lanu to km veu ui iUr- it tins nau ueen me taw woen lieno county was first settled what a differ- ent county in appearance we would have to-day.

Such a thing as a drouth would be unknown to this part of Kan sas. Now is the proper time to plant trees, and we would suggest to the far on mers that have hitherto neglected this mwii iiw, mi, wu0.u.i wid urai ui putting oat a iew acres or trees, and .1, iucu wiisiuci iimi yiuhii iu uie tuuiw; of five yeare.

3-l-ly. We will not be undersold in anything Decker Holland. a school teacher by profession, outrages his whole Sabbath school class, consis ting of .14 little girls, ranging in age from nine to thirteen years. His inhu man acts have been carried on since September. His manner of catching his victims was to entice them into the back room of his shop with candies and then give them money not to tell and to bring others of their associates into his deii.

Since writing the above Calhoun has been indicted in the district court at Marion Center on two counts, and was sentenced to forty-two years imprisonment. lie was taken to Leavenworth Wednesday. Mr. James T. Ewing, proprietor of 'the fair grounds, inteids putting up srne more fine buildings on the grounds this summer, and many minor improvements.

He will sow the ground in orchard grass, put out shade trees, and add many features that will make the grounds more convenient and at tractive. His premiums this year will be larger than last, and all paid in cash. Mr. Ewing deserves credit for the business like manner in which he is carrying on this important enterprise, and the farmers should take pride in helping make the tair in every way a success. They can add materially to the exhibition if they will prepare their stock for entry, and make an effort to produce agricultural products that are worth exhibiting.

All should aid and take part in the enterprise. The old bridge across the river at this place has been inpassable for several days this week. The ice is gorged in the river; part of the piling i gone, and the whole old shell is threatened to be carried away. We say let her go the sooner the better. The commissioners squander enough each year in tiying to keep the old thing in repair make a good start upon a new bridge.

There is at present writing from twenty-five to fifty wagons on the other side of the river headed off and can not cross. So long as the bridge will hold together at no nsw bridge will be built if left to the vote of the people of Reno county. Let the old shell float oil and then it will be a ground-hog case and we will get a new one. If we can't fcet a jO.OOO iron one we can get cheap wood one. Any kind is safer and better than the old, dilapidated, rotten, worn-out, weather beaten, good for nothing thing that spans the river this place.

We would suggest that the county commissioners reconsider that print ing steal, let the printing to the lowest bidder and use that surplus which will be at least live hundred dollars apply on a new bridge, It is now evideut that we need a new bridge and must economize to get if. Keuo ctmn-ty can't afford to have her funds so lavishly squandered on such unworthy subjects as Easley and the sniveling editor of the Xickerson thumb-sheet while her farmers are compelled to ford the river in order to get to town. Have We a Pari Organization in Reno County If we have we should be able toj see moie of the fruit of their work. Our impression is tLat we have an orgaui-zatoin with a central committee at the head, in name onlj who probably meet once a vear to look alter the interests the party. The work of the central committee an important one in the wav of building up and keeping together the party, and their work shouldn't lie neglected we ever expect to get on top in this Republican stronghold.

If we don't miss our guess, there will be change after cliajge in Kansas politics during the coming four years, ami the Democratic party will receive large accession from the dissatisfied iu the ranks ot the Republican party as soon as the infamous campaign lies of Republican politicians are nailed, 'heir effect will take a legitimate reaction that will drive all dissatisfied honest Republicans out of their comipt camp, and they will be numbered henceforth as our jest and truest Democrats. As soon as the fallacious doctrines and dogmas' the Republican politicians, that were peddled all through this country during the last campaign are proven to be wholly false by actual trial and experience, this change will commence, and will be continued as long as the Democrats give us good government. Such effusion as "the Democrats paying the Rebel debt, pen sioning the Rebel soldiers, oppressing the laboring class, bankrupting the nation, ilt-piiving the negroes of their prosi-nt rivals," will be branded as bilse. if we have a central committee, we i hi ii'v tl.ni to come to the front sold work wiin us in talking 1 eii a is.r). soid by a systematic and iinifM'iu el'ott make more solid our pan -ga i Jon.
