M. M. Lafferty. Sew Way ro Usislt Corn.

The News Messenger. Marshall Minn, has the following account of a piece of husking work, which though novel and rapid is in no way likely, to be extensively followed from choice. It don't turn out as favorably even when accident or negligence puts it into practice: The cleanest and quickest case of corn husking we ever he aid of occurred on Al. Balwin's place a few nights ago. A prairie fire went through two acres of corn in live minutes completely burning away every husk, and leaving the corn 011 the stalks bright, clean, and in no way injured by the fire or 6inoke.

A high wind was blowing. That cornfield was a novel sight, with its yellow ears standing out upon the dry stalks' The only corn discolored or injured was the outside row, where there was a heavv growth of prairie grass that took the fire longer to burn than did the corn.

By the Choir. Dismissal. About California. Long Beach, Feb. 22, 1888.

Ed. Freeman: Thinking a few lines in regard to California would not prove uninteresting to the many readers' of tne REEMAN, 1 will write as 1 see things. All may not. in fact I know all do not, see this country as 1 do. Several Kansans have come here since I haye; they were not satisfied and, af ter a snort stay, returned.

So far I am well pleased. Of course I have only been here part of a winter, which is perhaps the pleasantest part of the year, lor 1 understand it is very warm in the summer, also very dusty. Of this I cannot speak from experience. but it seems to me I live in a land of poems; all around is an unendimr rhyme of beauty in the 6onth is the great Pacific, the beautiful ships grace-lully gliding through the shinimr. dancin rippies on its surface, the land ing a more distance iroui tne snore, with Catiiina Island for a background.

making a lovely picture; while to the northeast and west lie pretty, picturesque cottages surrounded withfiowers and grass; looking back are hundreds of acres of green fields with cattle feeding, while in the distance one sees the cities of JLos Angeles and Pasadena: then the snow-covered mountains, with such peaks Ola Baldy, San Bernardino and others with the clouds hovering above and below, while here and there the sun breaks through, illuminating them, making a picture which no artist, however true his eve. can rem-o- duce, for it is divine in the west, near the shore, lies a foothill, covered with grass and lovely flowers, while on the shore one can see the lighthouse, and nearer, at its base, lie the cities of San Pedro and Wilmington but my description is too tame and I will say that to lealize the beauty of this country one must see it. Los Angeles is twenty miles north, and Pasadena thirty. Speaking of the latter, 1 once read from a traveler's pen that Oakland, was the prettiest city in the world. I think it would have to be more than earthly to be prettier than Pasadena.

I am -often asked, "Would vou advise us to come to California?" 'o I would not advise anyone to come. Money does not crow on tresx. and BLANKETS AND COMFORTS At prices that will astonish you. SPECIAL SALE ON VELVETS. All colors and styles.

rain. hail, sleet, i wind, thunder and lightning, snow and frost are the few varieties of weather with which we hailed the first dav of March, 1888. The meeting spoken of heretofore for tita purpose 01 establishing a Snndav School was well attended, there being near fifty persons present. A full corps of officers was elected as follows J. R.

Gettys, Mrs. R. Gettys, Asst. Mrs. Frank Wright, Sec'v: Mrs.

J. F. Baker, Mr. Frank Wright, Librarian; J. F.

A good time is anticipated. A number of our farmers had their spring wheat sown before the Snow and sleet came on and it will be in a booming condition when the snow goes off. Mr. Wm. Lappin and familv arrived from near Solomon City the latter part of last week.

He will farm the H. Ross place ana his own the coming year. Died. On Feb. 2D, 1888, Courtey.

Hie remains were interred in the new cemeterv at Losan on Thurs. day. It being a disagreeable day, not so large a concourse of friends accom panied his remains as there would had the day been more fair. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the en tire community.

Old Zip Coos. .4 ill 11 the Michigaiiders. On the 14th of February the Editor ana William inielns lett Logan for Michigan in behalf of Mr.

Thields' pension claim. Taking the p. m. train at tms place wnere people were plowing and sowing crops, wespedinto Missouri over the Central Branch of the Mo. Pac.

Ry. Taking the Rock Island at St. Joe, we soon found that we were getting into a warmer clime as we traveled northeast. Iowa showed up a great deal more snow than Missouri and Illinois was still colder and on onr arrival at Chicago the cold blast from the lake made a Kansan shiver as if he had on a linen suit. The Mo.

Pacific and Rock Island Railways are both well equipped and furnish excellent chair cars free to all their customers and a journey of hundreds of miles is inade easier than half the distance in me oraiuary seats, wiuioui delay we took the Michigan Central and arrived at our destination, (Lansing, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, making over 1,200 miles in forty-eight hours. The Central has every convenience of modern railways in the shape of dining cars, chair cars, etc. 'Alter leaving the cars at Sheridan, Montcalm county, we rode several miles in a sleigh over two or three feet of snow, presenting quite a contrast to sunny Kansas. We stopped two days with Wm. and Joshua, the sons of Noah, dwelling the last night among the Fishes, at both of which places we partook of generous loaves, which more than ever confirmed us in the belief that we were in the ancient country where part of -the events recorded in history occurred, as we dwelt among the Noahs and Fishes and partook ol loaves and there was timber enough laying around loose in the vicinity to make half a dozen arks and tho tall cedars of Lebanon towered up on all sides.

The old man was cordially welcomed by all his old friends and neighbors and Gilmore's Band turned out 111 full force (Giimore's Band in this case being a largo family of Gilmores who have been neighbors of Air. T. for over thirty years). To anyone unacquainted with a timber country it is a strange sight to see the immense forests and' mills with piles of sawed and unsawed lumber on every side. Roadways are.

built through swamps by laying large logs down and covering them with dirt, alter the manner of corduroy. In many places the fields still retain the stumps trom which the vast trees have been cut; but good crops are planted and reaped right in their midst as the soil is strong and quick. But to a Kansan it would be a query bow the planting was done and he would naturally come to the conclusion that it could only be done by loading the grain into a bhot- and firing it into the field. Power-ul stump-pullers are at work and the immense stumps are pulled up and laid around the fields, where they make a fence that will doubtless last for a lifetime. The woods are full of old soldiers who Bervect gallantly in various Michigan regiments.

They shook the old man almost to pieces and savagely condemned tne means by which the old mau's claim was delayed, as the fact was plain that a spiteful neighbor had tiled a lalse affidavit with the department in a matter of which sbe'was entirely ignorant. Joshua JNoau ana tne Editor swapped monumental stories ail one- day and ended the day by passing a resolution to be at the National Encampment in the fall with a mutual friend. Although the snow was deep and the sleighing good, we did not find the weather in ucii colder tnaa tne raw winds of Iowa or Illinois and in thei timber the frost had not entered the ground under the snow. The farm houses and barns of the country are a marvel to a Kansan as they are large and cost comparatively nothing to what the same would in this country. Lumber costing $24 per here costs $6 there and other kinds in proportion.

Freieht, in a great measure, consumes the balance. On our return we parted with Mr. Thields at Kock Island and took the lii ck Ibland Peoria Railway, passing within a few rods of the old borne where our boyhood days were passed, and through the orchard planted over thirty years ago with our assistance. We visited with two 6istersof our own, a brotner 01 onr oeiter nan ana many other relatives and friends for two or three days and started Jiome, stoppiR three days and started home, stoppir- al jjavenpon a ww nours, urwuf port a lew Hours, wnert3 met Airs.

Came to my house about Feb. 16th. The owner can have the same by proving property and paying charges. 37 John Miller. The Northwest District Teaehers' Association met at Prairie View on Feb.

23d. A large number of teachers were present and a grand good time was enjoyed by all. The exercises were conducted by Mr. O. L.

Smith. Papers, essays, recitations, were the order of the day and very many of them of a high order. The Luctor band kindly furnished music. Mrs. McKenzie and others furnished vocal music, accompanied by the organ.

The people of the neighborhood treated the visiting teachers handsomely and look forward to a recurrence of the happy occasion, which we are informed will take place again in a short time. Our reporter failed to send us a report and if this is not exactly correct it is from the fact that we gleaned it after the meeting. This week has heen one of hilarity for the young folks. The snowfall lay upon the ground long enough to receive a coating of sleet and this with the mechanical devices rendered the slope near Steve Robinson's a scene of enjoyment rareiy wiLiiemseu mj iur wem. Every conceivable form of sled was brought into requisition "for coasting, singly or in couples, but it, was reserved for our enterprising townsman, J.

D. Edmond, to take the initiative towards solid comfort in the enjoyment of this athletic sport. Under his supervision a commodious vehicle was constructed which would contain some eight or ten persons and which, guided by himself or some other person equally competent, moved quickly and safely over the descending grade. Not a whit behind, Messrs. Alkire, King and Dunning interested themselves in the mechanism of vehicles and added much to the general enjoyment.

Fortune favored their efforts and the season of enjoyment has equalled in pleasure the ettbrts of the more pretentious clubs of the eastern cities. Everybody seemed to enter into the spirit of the occasion and father and mother, together with those of maturer age, looked on with pleasure as the joyous crowd made the welkin ring with their gladsome outcries and sighed for the happy days of youth. A warm sun, however, has rendered the hill brown and bare and Young America will have to wait till another season for the opportunity of exhibiting their prowess. Advertised Letters.

A. W. Tracy, lled, In Belmont township, Thursday, Feb. 23. 18S8, at 2 o'clock p.

Ida wife of M. M. Lafferty, aged 29 years. Soma features of inexpressible sadness surrounded the last sickness and death of Mrs. Lafferty.

The days and nights of excruciating pain, the hours of agonizing suspense while grim, relentless death hovered low on shadowless wings over her couch of suffering, the tireless watch, the unceasing vigil of a devoted husband and sympathizing friends, using all earthly means to stay fell destroyer in his swift, relentless conrse only to realize at last how futile, how unavailing all eartblv love and sympathy to save from death death a cherished wife and a loved mother. Mrs- Lafferty died in the full meridian of young womanhood, in the radiant noontide of yonng motherhood she died loved and respected by all who knew her. The most cherished consolation to the almost brokenhearted hnsband and five motherless little ones is the sweet memory of her devotion. They know that after life's fitful fever is over she sleeps well." Inos God glveth His beloved rest, sweet rest. Us J.
