PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON. Mankato, Kansas. "Office in Opera Block. to London, anticipating an audience with her Majesty. But imagine her disappointment when she was told the nearest person she could interview was the home secretary.

Aftar a Jong delay this august personage, condenscended to be seen for a few minutes. After hearing their request, and super-cilliousiy glancing at the vast petition, he told the apostle of teraperence, at some convenient' time he would call her Majesty's attention to it. This is the reward for a petition with a million names to it representing ten months hard work with many sleepless nights EURR OAK CREEK. We have hardly got acquainted with the new born Democratic "Jacksoxiax" but we will venture a short communication, and wait the result. AVe feel somewhat bashful when we think of the boldness required to have anything to do with such obnoxious an-J degrading articles as Kans.

Democracy. But let the future decide, here we go. Democratic Politics are very catching in this locality, so many good republicans talk one way and drink another, that the less deceitful ones are getting disgusted with theii prohibition warfare and are gradually lopping over to the democratic ranks. Mrs. Lane.

Mrs. Meyer and Mrs. Canan who have been very cick, are all on the mend and every one is anxious for their speedy recovery. Burr Oak is all excited over a scheme to build a college at that place. Over $1,800 were raised yesterday afternoon for the enterprise.

Bailed hay is being shipped to this town and sold for $8.00 per ton, which is cheaper than Kans. hay at 85.00. Geo. Tindall is preparing to REUBENS REGALIA. Some mud.

Let us have national prohibition, less tariff talk and mere greenbacks. They say we are to have a co-operative store at Rubens, the cash is paid in already. Preperations for farming on a grand scale are being made in these ends of the earth. Your correspondent is a teetotaler but does not belong to the prohibition party, as a party. Anarchists ought to be hung.

It is anarchy to put the law aside and loan money at 21 per cent a year. An emigrant from Ohio recently brought his family to ithis most fertile valley west jof the Mississippi. Cleveland would make a good high sheriff, but he will be the next President by a majority of 100 electorial votes. The school in the "Ross" district has closed, and Miss Kilpatrick, who taught here last term, is engaged for their spring school. Every week men from the country south of this place go through here with empty wagons, moving in the direction ot Superior.

When they get back their wagon are full of corn, and they are full of corn juice. Joel Jones. PRAIRIE TOWNSHIP. We like the looks of the Jacksonia. The Christians are holding a protracted meeting at the Star school house.

The coming king of Epgland, the other day became rip-roaring drunk, visited a theatre, kept the audience and actors waiting one hour before they could open the play. Retiring from the house with his drunken associates gave the performers the quietness they wished, when they pioceedtd to entertain those who had filled tho house, without any faither disturbance. C. Times, The "electric kiss" is all the rage down east. The participants shuffle their feet over a carpet until uiey nave lanen on a load of electricity, and then their lips shoot oat sparks "lit the moment of osculation.

It is well enough, prehaps, to take an electric shock and a kiss from an eastern girl at one and the same instant, but an ordinary man finds that a Western girl's kiss is naturally electrical, and if it wero specially charged for the occasion he would die or bo disabled. Chicago Times. STATE POLITICS. State politics are gradually assuming shape. TheOberlin convention, May 16th, to select Mi delegate to the National convention and the Congressional at Russell, together with a state slate, has brought out the usual crop of politicians from the farm, tho factory, town and city, all seemingly with the one idea in view, that of again taking St.

John's political scalp. Why bless your souls, gentlemen, St John hasn't been in politics for several years. He had a hobby. That hobby was prohibition, and the republican party, after defeating' him, for a third term on that hobby, kicked him off and got on themselves, cursing St. John for over getting the presidential bee in his bonnet on such a hobby.

Now we can't see for the life of us, why, if prohibition is right in a state, that it is not equally sq in a nation. And why St. John being an American, citizen and a devoted advocate of a certain principle, should be debarred from carrying that principle into a national reform if he had the brains and ability to do so. Especially as the republican party of this state are so anxious to father the law and the principle that they so devoutly hate St. John for.

Seriously? if prohibition is the proper way to educate people, St. John is the most abused man on the continent to-day. Of course St. John aided the democratic party, and of course any far seeing republican might have seen that such a system of coercive legislation would have done just that thing. Tr n.

national sense. Kansas, some things, has been a great state, but to use a common vernacular, in this case hoahif. nff more than she can "chaw," and is rolling it as a sweet morsel unaer ner tongue, while St. John is delivering temperance lectures in other parts of the country at fifty cents a head. The law should be enforced but give St.

John a rest. Lebanon Criterion. An earnest christian lady in England, recently devoted ten months towards securing a petition to havothe Dram, and beer Houses, closed on Sundays. She wrote in that time, over one thousand letters, and secured no less than one million signatures from the mothers of that country, and with this gigantic petition she went and countless prayers. And, so it is; while thousands aie being made victims to the glaring saloon, and Great Bri-tian surrenders yearly 75,000 souls to tho Juggernaut ot Bacchus, Lord Salisbury tells his constituents they can diiT'k just what they can afford to buy; and so the war-chariot with its two-edged sword continues to slay and the tears, prayers, and petitions of broken hearted mothers, are refused admittance into the pres ence of a woman, to whom they pay lour hundred thousand pounds annually, and for whom thev support six castles with their retinues free ol charge.

D. W. Henderson. The dignitaries of England, cannot bear to hear the ques tion of Temperance, troaeh-ed, because, beer and intoxica ting honors, are a proline source of revenue for the realm. In times past, men notorious for their drunkenness have occupied thrones, as well as other high stations in life, and.

it is possible that Eng land may yet bo governed by a man who will be remembered only for his vices. CORRESPONDENCE. WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP. Rev. Dungan has closed his protracted meeting at the Star-ner school house, Leander Hancock and wife are happy over the advent of a girl baby at their house.

Nux. HIGHLAND. Ed. Jacksonian. By way of a few introductory remarks, we wish to say after receiving a personal request fiom ye editor to write up tho locals of Highland, we have consented, but not without a just sense of responsibility, fully realizing oui ineffici ency and unfitness to write for the press to be placed before tho scrutinizing gaze of a merciless but intelligent public.

But we deem it a duty as a citizen of this great commonwealth to help the editor who is endeavoring to do what he can to build up this "Great American Desert" and who is doing so much for our people, our party and our country, and farther, we would say to every true Democrat of the Jacksonian type to step forwrad with that needful filthy lucre, until the coffers of the publisher of this paper is to full to contain itself that he may be con strained to give his correspondents a salary commensurate with the abilities they display and the aid they give the paper, and that we may enjoy that bliss that nothing can give but a good Democrntio newspaper of the good old Jacksonian simplicity style. As the late cold spell has froze us in for a time we will not attempt to send any items this time, but promise great things in the future. In the mean time we will bask in the sunshine of Democracy and go on until we reach that state of perfection which none other ever reaches save a pare and undefiled democrat. Peach Blow, leave this place, having sold his store and restaurant out to Mr. Jacobs.

The class in higher arithmetic, in Walt E. Hull's school, have finished with "Mr. Ray" and are now looking lor a text book without answers. They wish to prove their work. Teachers' association meets at Randall next Saturday.

Randall offers to do her part toward entertaining that much abused but worthy class of people, the teachers, and all should attend. No one acquainted with the circumstances is surprised that "Slately" of the Republican should withdraw his offer to receive proposals of marriage. "Slately" has been ready to receive proposals of marriage these many years and is still a bichelor. We should advise him to go to Scottbville. The bridge across the Buffalo, is open to the public.
