Wheat is coming into market rapidly.

I Sylvia Beginning to Peel the Effects of Good Crops. New Enterprises are Coming Thick and Fast while all the Old Stands are Increasing Their Facilities for a Grand Rush, It now begins to look as though Salvia was going to take a forward step. For some time we have heen obstinately grappling with the adversity which had befallen us, as well as our sister towns tho result of short crops. Yet we have never gone backward. Business has always been fair and in every way Sylvia has held her ground far better than any of her sister towns.

Our business buildings have always been full, while residences were at a premium. Our merchants did not do the business they did formerly, but have done reasonably well and have never lost faith in our town. No that an immense crop is assured, things will begin to move in earn est. A new store will open up about September 1st, while all tho old stands arc preparing for a heavy fall and winter trade. Frank Murray is now in the east purchasing goods for his firm.

They will erect a largo ware room so as to give more room for goods. W. A. Austin, of the firm of Bontz, Roberts Austin, will as soon as possible, make a trip east to select new goods. T.

J. Hawley will, as ever, keep in the front rank by adding a largo stock of new goods. The Kansas Grain Live Stock Company and The Fair Shaak Company are prepared to handle all the grain brought in, and will pay the highest market price. Hawley will, as usual, pay more for live stock than can bo obtained at any of our neighboring towns. George Ileal has opened the Blue Front livery.

He has a number of fine rigs and has also put in a stock of feed. Other new enterprises and improvements might be mentioned but want of space forbids at present. Suffice to say that Sylvia is prospering, and that we invite all to come and investigate for themselves. Here is a newspaper prediction as to the wheat crop of this year, from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: The prospects now are that the wheat crop this year will amount to .00,000,000 bushels at least, makiug all reasonable allowances for damages in the northwest.

The 500,000,000 mark has never been passed by the wheat yeild except twice. In 1882 the production was 501,000,000 bushels, and two years later it was but a small fraction under 13,000,000. Last year the yeild was bushels. Not only a large wheat crop this year assured, but jthe production of nearly all other cereals is or will be heavy. This act coupled with the reasonable certainty which there exists of a There are no lightning bugs in Kansas this year.

They have all perished from exposure. 'When after a long nigt of fatigue in lighting the snarling coyote to the settler's hen roost they settled down among tho interlacing blades of the monstrous Kansas corn, little did they suspect that they were courting the rest that is eternal. But not one frail sentinel of tho his lantern burning, has ever emerged from the awful blackness of the intricate passages of our Kansas cornfields. On the 14th, at Stockton, Cal. Dept.

U. S. Marshal Neagle, shot and killed Jungo David S. Terry in an eating salon of the Over-land route. U.

S. Supreme Judge, Stephen A. Field and Neagle were eating breakfast when Judge Terry and wife walken in. When Terry saw Field ho walked up and slapped him in the face and was just in the act of striking him a second time when shot by Neagle. It seems that the only qualifications necessary for any office in this county is that candidate be an old resident.

Now Ave have no objection to the pica but it has gone to extremes. If a new comer should appear on the field we tshould not hesitate to advise him to acclimate himself before asking the "dear people' for support but tho old cry "I'm tho oldest resident in the race" always puts our system in a condition for a full dose of Gillispie's Celebrated Black-berry cordial, and as the candidates arc getting numerous, it keeps us bobbing around pretty lively to swallow a quantity sufficient to keep our physique together. Lost: A red and dark-brown basket plaid sack coat between Fred Yust's and A. Bridgford's, Hayes township. Finder will please return to this office and receive pay for trouble.

Wcdnsday evening as No. 2 pulled the depot, a colored man, supposed to be Win. Harris, jumped from a passenger coach while tho train was moving and was fatally injured from which effects he died about one o'clock Thursday morning. On Thursday afternoon Coroner McKinny came down from Hutchinson and a jury was summoned, composed of Jesse Keynolds, J. W.

Walters, A. P. Koutt, II. C. Barrett, B.

McNeil and A. M. Fearn and returned a verdict as follows: "Came to his death by accident." Seven dollars and twenty cents in money was found on his person and an express receipt for fifty dollars, which he had sent to Topcka. Marshal Wright received a telegram from Mrs. J.

W. Harris supposed to bo his mother from to send the body there at once. It was a sad accident and although the deceased was a perfect stranger to our citizens, the accident cast a gloom over all. We hope it will not be again repeated during the history of our city. Nickerson Register.

Card of Thank. To all the kind friends and neighbors whose sympathy and help has been so freely given to us during the sickness and loss of our dear son and brother Eddie we return our deepest gratitude Weddisg Bells. On the 14th, Mr. E. H.

Smith and Miss Dollio Shepherd were united in marriage at tho residence of tho bride's nncle, A. Mar-dis. Mr. Smith is head clerk in T. J.

Ilawley's store and is one of tho most up-right and enterprising young business" men in our city. Miss Dollie is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. II.

Shop-hdrd, who aro pioneers of our city. She is a beautiful and accomplished lady and has always been a leader in society. They have the best wishes of a host of friends, also tho Herald, in their voyage down tho stream of life. They departed on the 5 o'clock p. m.

train for Hutchinson where they will visit friends a short time. On their return they will commence house keeping in the McDonnell property. Tho ceremony was private, only near relatives of tho contracting parties being present. Rev. G.

W. Dalbcy officiated. Died: At tho residence of his parents, William E. Austin, aged 22 years 0 months and 2.1 days, of typhoid fever, on Wednesday, August 11th 1830. Another bright jewel added to the galaxy of those gone before.

Ah, fain could wo believe that but a few weeks since as ho walked in and out before us, was found at liis post of duty among us, that He would summons him above so soon, and bo with us no more. Relentless death hath found its shining mark, and cut down with sicklo keen tho bloom of lyoung manhood the hopes and blessings of life's June. How hath all changed! Tims' suddenly has ho, passed away but his mcmoiy will ever be cherished in many a heart. Win. E.

Austin was born in Adams county October 21st, I860. At an early ago came with his parents to Missouri. About two ye.vrs ago lie came to this place, (Sylvia, Reno county, Kansas.) By his orderly deportment, and kind ways together with his pleasing address he soon found himself among friends. He jwas one of the few of whom it might be said everybody loved him. The intense of tho last few days of his life occasioned by his malady broght no word of com plaint, but he bore it all with tho calm fortitude of one whoso trust is founded upon tho "Bock of Ages." The funeral services were conducted by tho writer at the M.

E. Church, August 1.3th, at 3:00 V. M. The closing of business and the large attendance at the service only added another token of the esteem in which he was held. The hyms were th 3 selection of his mother as his favorites, as follows: "My Days arc Gliding Swiftly By," "Go Bury Thy Sor-row," and "Shall We MeetrBeyond the River." In addition tho choir rendered a beautiful anthem, "Prepare to Meet thy God." Remarks were made from tho text, Job 14th 14th verse "If a man die, shall lie live again." The The lloral emblems were signifi-c int and expressive, flie remains were conveyed to the Plevna Cemetery cast cf town where they were laid to rest by tender and loving hands in a grave lined with melons to A.

Dan F. Dugan, of tho Herald went to Hutchinson yesterday. About thirty of our citizens attended the big show at Hutchinson, yesterday. Extension tables and bed springs reduced fifty cents each, at the Furniture Store. The Stafford Republican calls attention to tho fact that a party from ntar Sylvia, was marketing grain in that city on day last week, but our worthy cotempora-ry stops with this and does not inform his readers that this party was dissatisfied with their markets and next day brought tho remainder of his grain to Sylvia and rc-cieved an advance of two cents per bushel over the Stafford price.

In this issue will bo found the announcement of J. W. Parish as a candidate for commissioner. Mr. Parish lias entered tho race only by tho request of a largo number of the staunch republicans of our county who have singled him out for his good qualifications and the confidence thoy 'impose in him.

Ho has been a resident of this county a number of years during which time he has filled a number of nositions of trust Jand has in every instance given tho greatest satisfaction. Ho will make an honest fight for tho nomination and if chosen by tho republicans as their candidate they need have no fear but ho will carry tho entire strength of tho party, as well as a largo number of democratic votes in this section where he is aquaintcd. His keen sense of honor and justice makes him the kind of a mm for a commissioner and to him the people could always turn as their best friend and protector of their rights.
