The school authorities in many places have abolished the old custom of bestowing flowers and other presents upon the graduates of our public schools. It will save many heart aches from the less favored ones, as in the past they have been compelled to see their class-mates loaded with fine flowers and costly presents, while they have been presented with few boquets. It is the time when the young graduates are taking their first step into the great future, aud if met by disappointment and embarrassment before all their friends, it is likely to discourage them for a time.

There are no longer but no better roads in this or any other country than the Chicago Alton R. R. This line makes a permanent patron of every traveler who once gives it a trial. Its tracks are of the heaviest steel and as smooth as glass. Its road-bed is stone ballasted throughout.

Its equipment is superb. It was the first line on which a pullman sleeping car was ever run, the first line to adopt dining cars and the first line to run free reclining chair cars, and to-day its solid vesti-buled trains, containing all of these modern luxuries, are running through on fast time to and from Union Depots in Kansas City, SL Louis and Chicago with astonishing regularity and with exceeding comfort to its ever increasing patrons. If you ever make a trip in any direction between Kansas City and Chicago, or Kansas City and St. Louis, or St- Louis and Chicago, and fail to patronize the Chicago A Alton, yon may be sure that you have missed at least one opportunity for increasing your happiness in this life.

D. K. McCoachand family rolled in from the territory on Wednesday of last week. While he likes' the country splendidly, he says the conditions down there are not favorable to the white man.

The law does not know that there are any white men there and presumes everything in the territory to belong to the Indian. Late rulings of the Interior department have rendered it still more uncomfortable for the white man in the territory. Timothy Hay. SPRING VALLEY. Rev.
