There are some very good, blooded stallions in this county. It seems to us, however, that there is not pains enough taken to improve the horned stock. It costs no more to raise a good steer than it does to raise a poor one and the profit is much greater. Several farmers in a neighborhood should unite and buy a thoroughbred bull. In the western part oi the county the storm of last week was very destructive to stock.

Stone invited us to look at some new bureaus that he had just received. We flattered him about them and he confidentially informed us that he had heaps and heaps of new furniture coming, and that on Tuesday he sold more furniture than he expected to sell in a month. He has also just received the finest specinen of Stone that ever to this town.

He is proud of it and evidently considers it too choice to be throwing around loose, so Mrs S. takes care of it over at the house. After a while these specimens get too common to be so allfiied particular about them. He didn't invite us to see it but we know just how it looks. On Thursday Mr.

But very few were to be be found in the grain fields, showing that they bad either been destroyed by the storm where they did not have the protection of the old prairie grass, or that they had, by some grashopper wisdom, taken warning of the impending storm and sought shelter in the grass. The latter theory is no doubt the correct one. They have, no doubt, a perfect system ot storm signals to warn them to fly, or hop, out of danger.

But they made a fatal mistake this time. They had not sufficiently studied the habits of man. They could escape from the elements put in motion by the-unchangeable laws of nature, but the uncertainty of man has been the death ot them. The cool weather after the storm kept them irom leaving the grass until it dried and the torch was applied. Last Tuesday Jewell coun ty was almost a sheet of flame.

The smoke obscured the sun and s'hut out from view the landscape in every direction. The burning continued into the night, presenting a magnificent spectacle. Not in twenty years of prairie life have we witnessed such fires, only the day was calm and the fires burned quietly. The destruction of the pests was almost complete. But few remain to tell the tale.

Great praise is due to the farmers. They reserved, the old grass unto the day ot wrath for the pestiferous grasshopper, and he is no mote. Surely they have worked out their own salvation in fear and trembling. Hereafter there will be no fear in a grasshopper visitation, for the people have learned how to wipe them ont. Business Locals.

If any man writes back east for aid on accouutof destitution by grasshoppers, he is a fraud and a thief, and to be put in the chain gang and be made to earn an honest living.

There is plenty here for every man who will work. There never has been a murder commit ted in this county, but in the early days a couple ot horse thieves were hung to the limb of a tree from under which they had stolen some horses. That was about the only deed of violence ever committed in the county. During six wreeks that we have been using patent outides for the Diamond the paper has arrived in time only once. This Is intolerable.

The trouble must be with the express companies, for if a package could come through all right once it can all the time. The farmers are now very busy at work getting in their corn, but let one of them run across a nest ol grasshoppers he immediately quits his work and takes them in. Business before is reversed in this matter, and it is pleasure before business, but the fun is about over. Mr. W.

Thanks, gentlemen. Mrs. Winsor got a head gear at the Ladies Bazaar this week and all the ladies say "It is perfectly lovely." We can't tell whether it is a hat or bonnett, but they say it is the ''latest style." It. is a modification of the head gear worn by the puritan women who came over in the Mayflower, and we no longer blame the English government for persecuting those women. Jack Edmonds was around yesterday and this morning, i We knew that the people of Jewell City couldn't get along ell without a visit from him about this time.

He came a week late, however, ior a good trade, but he "took on" about his improved screw picket pins all the same. He says he has, alone, sold two hundred ana three dozen "this spring. One of these pins is ths next thing to a five acre pasture lot. Jack says that his house at Leavenworth has been broken into seven times since last fall, but the seventh time occurred when -he was at home a couple of weeks ago, and he thinks one burglar will take a rest, judging from the blood he lett on the floor. Jack says he aimed for the fellow's brain, about two feet below the back of his neck, and he think he made a good shot.

31 arks Hirseh are tne best adertisers in the town and they have succeeded in their busines better than any others, considering their original capital. Angel Fay have been the next best advertisers and they have done well. Crandall has been quite liberal with printer's ink and he has succeeded. One firm that did not advertise has tailed. We believe it pays to advertise, but if any man in the place thinks it don't, we find no fault with him he knows his business best.

We want no patronage for charity's sake. But one thing we know, men of means looking lor locations, shun a town where the local paper is not supported. The paper is a sure index of the life ot the place. "We nave frequently noticed that farmers would sooner take a home paper with a large amount of advertisements and little reading, than one with few advertisements and much reaa-ing. They take a paper to keep posted on I the best chances to buy and sell.

John Ilobertson says that he thinks that in a very few years thit will be one of the richest portions of the State, and that and tha healthfulness of the climate induced hint to return and locate permanently. We have asked every man we met from the country this week and from evervone we have received the same answer; that the grasshoppers have nearly all been destroyed and no fears are entertained of them any more. Mr. Hutchison has been compelled to move his stock cf drugs to the back room in his dwelling house, terapoia-rily.

Workmen have been, busy this week at his new stone building and we hope it may not be long before he may occupy that. Wm. Rnnyan, L. F. Berry, B.

F. Ransford, and many others, tell ns tkat the birds are fast taking what 'hoppers the storm and fire left. In many "fields the ground is literally covered with bird excrement containing partly digested grasshoppers Thos Shnler, Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, was around last Saturday buying hogs. He called to see ns but we were altogether too lean. We told him of Thompson, of the Monitor, but he had been to see him and thought him altogether too tough.

J. D.Robertson started to Burlington, Kansas, Wednesday morning, to dispose of some 40.000 bushels of corn and a few thousand bushels of oats which ho has there. He will be absent ten days or two weeks and during that time Mr. Fay will have charge of his affairs here. L.

Couch says that the people of Kansas can attend to any future de posit of locust eggs within her bolder, and thinks that each State can do the same and if the government would destroy them on the great Plains by the use of the soldiers, the grasshopper difficulty would be settled. The partition is to be taken out of the old Angel fe Fay building and counters and shelves put up the whole length, 60 feet, and other radical improvements made 'which will make it as large and as fine a store building as there Is in the ccunty, while the stock of goods which Mr. Robertson will put in immediately it is finished will probably double any other stock in the county. There will be 40,000 hog sold by the farmers oi this county within the next eighteen months. At an average of 250 lbs, and supposing them to bring 3 cts per pound, we have the nice liltle sum of $300,000 for the farmers for pork alone, in a year and a half.

Then there will be the wheat and the cattle and the butter, eggs, poultry, sorghum, broom corn etc. to swell the mm. There will be so much produce grown the next two seasons that the entire horse force of the county will not be sufficient to carry it off. We must and will have a' railroad, but the railroad Companies will dally along until the people get thoroughly disgusted at the delay and let them baild their roads with out help. When the people expect to render assistance io a railroad company, they expect the road to be built some time in the course of hu man events.
