The lads, nine in number, and aged between nine and fourteen years, some white and some colored, started from Kansas City, and rode the brakes to steal a ride. Their grip giving out about the time they arrived here, or being punched by the brakemen, we did not learn which, they made an inspection tour around town, examining our fine depot, and other places of interest.

They engaged in a spirited game of base ball on the open lots east of the Leader office, and soon drew a miscellaneous crowd. The young darkies tumbled, and the iittle fellows swore by note, while the agility of the others, was of such a nature as to attract the pious people of the surroundings.

"Free Wheat." The above head appeared in the county organ last week. There is no "free wheat," to be obtained by farmers from the railroad company. This may be calculated to mislead many farmers. All wheat obtained from the railroad company is to be paid for one year from the time of obtaining it. Since the death of Receiver Wm.

J. Hunter several applicants have shown up for the office. Hons. Ryan, Ingalls, and Plumb, have been approached in person by letter and telegram, and President Hays has been frequently buttonholed concerning the successful coming man.

The general appearance of Trego county at this time is indeed beautiful.

Since the rains, nature has put on her best garb, and every prospect of a good corn crop seems to be in store for us. While riding out the other day, we saw on Sec.ji, town it, range 23, a spontaneous growth of nettle-burs and sun-flowers, quite enough, if allowed to ripen to seed the county for twenty miles around. This should not be. It is pure neglect in farming. For The Mayor and council have abated a score B3I of nuisances within the week.

The public water tank has undergone a thorough cleaning, and is to be covered from dust, and the drainage around the well has been perfected. Stagnant pools within the city limits are being filled up. Manure piles have been removed. Bones and rubbish have beee taken far away, and the council has politely asked the railroad company to have the buffalo bone pile removed outside of the city limits. The Mr.
