Parties can have water put on their premises at place they desire. "Our Boys" will be played at the opera house Tuesday, under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity of this city. There is some rumor of the entire southwest system going out, they think it will hasten the end of the trouble on the Frank Holland can tell how deep the slush was in front of his office Tuesday, he measured it wiih the full length of his body. Every body will go out to sec "Our Boys." Marshall McCann, Fleminirsburg, spent a few days in our city this week Mr. F.

was very much surprised to find so nice a little city as we have. I. W. J. Rogers returned from his trip to Missouri to see friends last OWNERS OF LAND IN WESTERN KAS.

who desire to dispose of the same for Cash or its equivalent, will find it to their advantage to write to WALKER FIEDLER, "Wioiiita, Kas. The Democrats must organise a elub here this spring. In fact, Democratic clubs should be organised in every township in th county. The Rustler will give as a premium to the largest Democratic elub organised in either of the townships, not including Center, a flag sis feet long, with the name of the olub and township on the flag. To the next largest a flag four feet long, name and township.

Prises to be awarded the first day of August, 1888. The rolls of the different clubs to be sent to the chairman and cecretary of the Democratic central committee, who will award the prices. Let every Democrat and every per son who loves good economical govern ment, and will vote for the electors on the Democratic tioket, enroll his name and join with the club in his township. Democrats, up and be doing. The Republicans tremble in this county now.

They know their days are few. We can carry this county this fall if we but work, and now is the time for organization. Shake off the lethargy that has to long held us and be workers in the field. This is the only way to success. Which will be the banner township in perfecting an organisation? Let us hear from you as soon as organised.

Snow fell in Texas, the first of the week, from four to eight inches deep. M. k. Pruitt andwifc.ofGoddard, are visiting Mr. and Mrs.

S. C. Luel- len. Bro. Wilson, of the Bucklin Standard, was la the city greeting his many friends.

Erviu Caldwell living near Havi- Iand has moved into our city. Still they come. John Hays, the irrepressible dem ocrat from Glick township, was in the city Friday. David Wylie, of Wichita, was in the city a few days and is very favora bly impressed with our outlook. We think it policy and good judgement on the part of the council to have the street-plow and scrapers housed.

We are told that main street is to be graded this year. We are in favor of this move if there are no side streets to grade. The fish pond on main street will be stocked with German Carp this sea son. Consequently there will be fish ing allowed. The miil train on the Santa Fe commenced to" run through to Mullin- ville Monday last.

This certianly does away with a great deal of annoyance over this short space of road. J. Malcom Johnston, traveling agent for the Hutchinson News, paid us a visit this morning. Glad to see J. Malcom holding so responsible a position.

The finest tY.ve in the world is up main street. There has beed a great deal of money spent iu getting this street graded up and the splendid crossing put down. Our cititens should feel proud of this street. There is some talk of a railroad from Ashland to Hutchinson via Greeosburg. Well, let them come by here if they want any help, we are ready to build another road and want it now.

Come on boys and lets pull together in this matter. It is very impertinent to ask why we pay $15 to have pipe laid from the main to the side walk, especially so, when the same work, in Denver, Color ado, only costs the party doing the work $8. But you know Kansas people are quite inquisitive, and ask many pertinent questions. That free drinking institution in front of our door is a nuisance and will he until the streets are graded and the gutters paved with stone. It would have been just as convenient to have put these drinking fountains on a cross street, and not in front of some body's door.

For our part we do not feel at all complimented or honored. Colonel Ncafes left for his claim last Friday night. The Col. is very enthusiastic, thinks he has a fortune within his grasp. This must be on the samo lead running through Clark county.

There were 1800 pounds of quarts sent east from the mine near Lexing ton to bo assayed, a short time ago. Of course Col. Neafes will not forget his friends in Greensburg, if he is rich. Tbe latest demand for seed is rather novel. Dr.

Shive was in the city Wedneduy looking for ditch seed to drain his land, said if he didn't succeed in getting some seed soon bis crops would be ruined, the ground is so wet Cash Hopkins ordered tbe teed for him. The house in shipping made a mistake aud scut out a car load of post holes. Cash was very much dis-, comfuddled about it, and bad the boles returned post hole. J. Barricklow, Winfield.

Since there is no place suggested for this convention, we would put before our people the name of Greensburg. Should this point be selected, we will guarentee to treat the visiting delegates as royally as we know how. We are located near the center of the district with easy ac cess by the Santa Fe and Rock Island.

A St. Paul, dispatch of recent date says: "Certain capitalists and railway magnates in St. Paul, Minneapolis and Chicago have been looking very wise and mysterious for the last year or two. Their stupendious scheme has at length been discovered. It is nothing more nor less than a railway from the twin cities via Bismarck, British Columbia and Alaska, to l'ekin, China, and Irkutsk, in the Russian Empire.

The Minneapolis and Pacific, the Aberdeen, Bismarck and Northwestern, and the Canadian Pacific will form the line to Victoria. B. thence the road will be built Cape Prince of Wales on Behring Strait, a distance of about 11,000 miles, body of water separating the American Continent from Asia is only thirty-five miles wide, and midway is dotted with islands. The water is only 20 or 25 fathoms deep aud can ultimately be bridged. On the opposite side in Asia is East Cape, whence a road will be constructed to Pekin, China, nnd Ir kutsk, Russia, and other points in the ChiueKe and Russian Empires.

A road is already being constructed by tho Russian government to Irkutsk and it is expected that this will be ex tended to form a junction with the line! from East Cape to Pekin, about 1600 miles from the strait. The distance between Capo Princo of Wales and Pekin is but little over 1600 miles making the whole route from St. Paul and Minneapolis to Pekin 5109 miles. The first trains are expected to run through in ten days, but when the inevitable limited express is put on, the passengers who leaves St. Paul on Monday will take his breakfast in Pekin on Saturday morning and his supper on Sunday evening in lloiitf Kong."
