The Missouri Pacific Railway's new line, by way of Coffeyville and Wagonc, to Little Rock and the Southeast, which has been opened for several months, will inaugurate a new departure in train service on August 31st. A Through Daily Passenger Train, consisting of coaches and Pullman Buffet Sleeping cars, will be established between Kansas City and Little Rock with sleepers running through to Memphis.

L. G. Cocayne, P. M. state, and filled the mind of the beholder with wonder and astonishment.

Finney, Wichita and Scott counties were the chief contributors to this wonderful lay-out of "garden sass" and farm products, yet adjoining counties were largely represented. Since that vear, outside of the irrigated districts, farming and gardening has been a failure, excepting in cane, fodder and wheat. Neither has there been any great quantity of snow in the intervening years. The inference, then, is, that deep snows tend to keep the ground in condition longer for the production of crops, and the more snow we have, and the longer it lays, the greater and better the season for growing crops. Indications now all point to the fact that we are on the threshold of the best crop year ever blessed by Western Kansas, 86 ,50 Per Ton Now is the season for the annual associated press liar to get in his periodical Manchausenisms over the destitution and starvation in Western Kansas; Fine Playing t'fcrtta Send ten (10) cents in stamps Or coin to John Sebastian, Gen'l Tkt.

An exchange says that if you are a kicker and see the sha'dows of failure in everything that is proposed to help thetown, for heaven's sake go into iorne seluded' canon and kick your own shadow on the clay bank, and give the men who are working to build a town a charge. One long-faced, hollowed-eyed, whinirig, carping, chronic kicker can do more to k6ep away business and capital from a town than all the drouths; short crops, chinch bugs, cyclones and blizzards combined.

Last winter the Wichita associated press liar sent out a harrowing account of suffering in Logan and Gove now he has besrun the same thing this year. We clip the following dispatch from the Cincinnati Enquirer and will simply remark that from the first to the seventh day of January there was no time that any one could not have remained out of doors twenty-four hours without an overcoat. The day on which the catastrophe described is said to have occurred the children of Augustine were playing on the common, bareheaded, and no wraps on, and how such a lie could have emanated is a mystery which 6nly this associated press liar can explain. Up to the 8th not enough snow had fallen in Logan county to' moisten the surface of the ground, much less furnish material for a life-taking blizzard. Wichita, January 6.

A pitiful tale of suffering and death, in recent blizzard in the.

Now word is received that during his absence his wife tried to reach her nearest neighbor, a distance of four miles, but succumbed in the road, and was found in an insensible condition and nearly frozen, while the babe she carried in her arms was frozen to death. The wife, it is feared, will die from the effects of exposure.
