Wfcdnesdajj to htt Last Saturday night the literary at Unity engaged in the discussion of of the question, Resolved, That there is more pleasure in the society of an uneducated than of an educated woman. The affirmative won the question. The question for next Saturday will be, Resolved, That science has done more than religion to civilize the the world. Arthur J. Ball, from near Maple-ton, was in town Monday, trading and taking some affidavits for pension claims, Mr.

Ball was a brave soldier and fell severely wounded at the battle of Jenkins Ferry, Ark. He received a jail in his thigh, and comrades who saw him fall say that he set up and tried to shoot after he was wounded, but he was not able to carry on the fight and was carried from the field by comrades. Mr, Ball was fully convinced that Blue Mound was the cheapest place to trade le had found, and we have no doubts jut that he will be here often, as he will hereafter read the Record and keep posted on prices. A. P.

Douglass, of West Newton, arrived last Wednesday to attend the clerical work of the Peoples Bank while Cashier, M. O. Dick goes to Pennsylvania as a witness in a case involving some $20,000. Mr. Dick is an important witness in the case and it is necessary that he be present.

Mrs. Dick will accompany him and they will be gone for three or four weeks. Vice president, Theo. Stevenson, will act as cashier during Dicks absence. Mr, Douglass is in the employ of M.

M. Dick, banker, at West Newton, and is a very pleasant and. agreeable gentle man and we hope he will have a pleasant stay while in our town. E. W.

Stevens, of Sedalia, has purchased and shipped about 100 head of horses and mules from this place in the last couple of weeks, and expects to bny twice as many more if they are in the country. Mr. Stevens is one of the most extensive horse dealers in the West. The headquarters of the firm is at Sedalia, where they keep several hundred head on hand. all the time and contracts from the Atlantic to the Rockies.

good feature of the firm is they handle all grades of stock, and therefore he will buy any size or style of horse or mule, if it is fat and in nice condition. They supply the Southern cotton plantations with small animals, and another grade goes to the sugar plantations. Then the car lines of the different cities, the freighters, rail road contractors and drivers all take different kinds of animals. Mr. Stevens tells us that the grade of horses and mules is not up to the standard of many places he has been.

It costs no more to raise an animal that will sell for $125 to $150, than it does to raise one that will sell for $75 or $80. There is certainly more money now in raising horses and mules than In raising so much surplus corn. Methodist Episcopal. Church south of Opera House on Kansas Avenue.

Blue Mound is located in southwest part of Linn county, near the corners of Linn, Bourbon, Allen, and Anderson counties, at the junction of the Mo. Pacific and the Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota Railway, and is surrounded by as fine an agricultural country as can be found, west of the Missouri river.

The soil is a black loam and is under laid with a vein of soft coal of the very best quality, coal only being worth $1.25 per ton at the mines. VVe are well supplied with plenty of best varieties of hard wooi limh- fence posts being only Worth 6c a piece. VVe are only miles from Kansas City the best market for all kinds of farm products west of the Mississippi. The country is gently undulating, just rolling enough to drain. Land in in this favored spot of the Great West can be bought at from $15 to S25 per acre, this being the price of well improved farms with good buildings, fenced with good hedge and having fine bearing orchards with all kinds of small fruits.

We are now doing an exchange business, having a large list of those fine farms on our books to exchange for eastern property and we have land and city property in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio to trade for farms in Kansas. Any information in regard to Blue Mound or farms in this part of Kansas or Western Missouri will be cheerfully given and all correspondents promptly answered. We will be pleased to hear from anyone having farms, city property or merchandise to trade, SMITH ROBBINS. W. S.

Platt, Editor. Look out for valentines. J. F. Rhodaes, of Garnett, will, preach at the M.

E. Church to-night The meetings are still in progress and seem to he growing in interest. Horace Cook tells us that he will try the culture of celery the coming Spring. Parties who have tried this esthetic and wholesome vegetable say it does well here and grows as tine as that shipped from Michigan. The wolf hunters last Saturday did not succeed in capturing any game, although they were seen in the ring.

The Kansas cyote of the prairies is quick of heel and very cunning, and you must be very early to head him off. Cook Irwin have just received 5,000 feet of linn lumber from Gilberts mill on the Osage, for the purpose of making tree boxes for their spring shipments. Linn makes strong, light boxes, and is cheaper than imported lumber. A. Richards tells us that in a recent letter from California, Billy Michaels says they had a freeze there not long ago right in the midst of strawberry harvest that killed all the berries and vines.

Billy had a large vineyard, and expected a good harvest, in keeping with his usual had luck, the fates seem to be against him. The folks are moderately well, having had considerable grip there a3 well as here. Jasper Fulkerson called Monday morning while on his way to Cheney, Sedgwick county, this state, where his daughter is quite sick. He promised us to secure a statement from the creamery at that place, which has been in operation 14 months. Although that is a younger county than this, during that ime the institution ha3 paid all expenses and netted $250.

There is no question as to the institutions paying when proper running order. A number of farmers who have tried it are very anxious to see it running again, as it is a great benefit to them. It is a Bronson firm that adver-Ises Down with high prices, and then quotes 13)I light brown sugar, $1.00, other sugars proportionally low. "Why dear sirs, our merchants sell 161) light brown for a dollar and dont think of charging more, also 151b of granulated The flour you sell at $1.00 our merchants sell at 80 cents, and LL muslin you quote at 6 cents our merchants sell at 5 cts. The same man says a good valice for 60 cents.

Why Sir, you can get a first-class grip here for nothing one that will last you till you are tired of it. Verily, Blue Mound does sell goods cheaper than anywhere. Farmers can save money by coming here to trade. Jacob Hurst showed us an order from the A. O.

U. W. grand lodge for $157, inpayment for a beneficiary held by him on the life of his wife, Matilda J. Hurst, recently deceased. The beneficiary was held in the Degree of Honor of that order.

The degree is not yet full and does not pay full policy. The Degree of Honor is a side degree of the Workmen, and the wives and children of Workmem are eligible to the degree, and may or may not take insurance as they like. The degree when full will pay $1,000, and the class will no doubt soon fill up. In case of sickness and death to a member of the family even a few hundred dollars do not come amiss. Last week re took occasion to abuse numerous parties who were.badly demoralized, physically, by la grippes affectionate caresses.

We supposed from their appearance that they were perfectly harmless, and could scarcely move one foot before another, but what was our surprise on Monday morning to see them dropping in one at a time with their feathers rutiled and war paint on. They tried to get a dozen grip relics together and they would be ablo to do up the Record office, but faffing in this we have been able to dodge them until we get out this issue when we wil explain that none but great men are subject to la grippe, and the fact that they were the victims of the epidemic places them in the list with many of the most eminent men of our nation, We received word this week from II. W. Owen, formerly of this place, asking us to send him the Record as he had heard from private sources that we had started up. He says I take the Sun but I have not seen a word about it in that paper.

Well, it does not look as though a new enterprise of any kinc would start up in a busy, little town like this and a newspaper not notice it, however unworthy it might be, but it is a fact that the Record has been running two months and the Sun has either not found it out, or the editor refuses to no tico tilings that do not directly aug ment his power and influence, or make him money. We will apologize to nen ry, as we have to a great number who have written U3, for we are always ready to stand by any legitimate enterprise of our town, and our bistory in the pas will beards out in this. Our eontempo rary thinks always make failures, but we would say that the battle is not lost or won until life shall end."

era to' UIV We got to talking about Road Carts this week, which was the best Fred Smithern came along just in the heat of the discussion, when the vote had been taken, and all said the Eureka Compression coil spring, sold Simmons, was the best of them all. Fred says: Theres no use to yer talkin it is the best. Soon after Fred went riding out of town in a bran new one, having sold his old one of the same make for just what a shining new one cost. The great number of these carts that Simmons sell is simply astonishing. THE WORLDS FAIR est people will find it to their advantage to trade at the EMPORIUM.

Resolutions. Whereas, There is a wave of finao ial suffering and ruin passing over the country, therefore be it Resolved, by the first state assembly of the M. B. assembled at Garnett on the 21st and 22nd days of January, 1890, that we endorse what is known as the St. Louis platform, calling particular attention to thesilvor resolution as follows: That we demand the abolotion of national banks and the substitution of legal tender treasury notes in lieu of national bank notes, issued in sufficeint quantities to do the business of the country on a cash system, regulating the amount needed on a per capita basis as the business of the country expand; and that all money issued by the government shall be legal tender for all debts both public and private.

2. That we demand that congress shall pass such laws as will effectually prevent the dealing in futures of all agricultural and mechanical productions, preserving a stringent system of ptn-ceedure in trials as shall secure the prompt conviction, and imposing such penalties as shaQ secure the most perfect compliance with the- low. 8. That we demand free and unlimited coinage of silver. 4.

That we demand the passage of laws prohibiting the alien ownership of land, and that congress take the early steps to devise some plan to obtain all lands now owned by aliens and foreign syndicates, and all lands now held by railroads and other corporations in excess of Buch as is actually need and earned by them be reclaimed by the government and held for actual settlers only. 5. Believing in the doctrine of equal rights to all aud special privileges to none, we demand that taxation, national or state, shall not be used to build up one interest or class at the expense of another. We believe that the money of the country should be kept as much as possible in the hands of the people, and hence we demand that all revenues, national, state or county, shall be limited to the necessary expenses of the government, economically and honestly administered. 6.

That congress issue a sufficient amount of fractional paper currency to facilitate exchange through the medium of the United States mail, 7. That the medium of communication and transportation shall be owned by and operated in the interest of the people, as is the United States postal system. And be it Resolved, 8.
