Hon. T. Dight Thacher gav a lecture to joung men in Topcksi last week ou. the subject of 'Get'iug a Start." We give a portion ot his remarks: Business men want good, fair, honest work; the best capital a young man can have Is tho reputation that he will do his jrk hon Round House. Tlio Citizens Last Monday evening quite number o'.

our business men met at the office of Clotfelter Pell to discuss ways and means of bringing our town nnd country more prominently before the public. After some talk it was thought best to adjourn until Wednesday night, in order to have a larger attendance and have the matter more thoroughly discussed. The meeting Wednesday night was held in Odd Fellows hall, and was largely attended. The meeting was called to order by J. W.

Colby and Dr. Griffin was appointed secretary. The chair called on W. H. Bell to state the object of the meeting.

He said it was to call the people together to devisi some means attracting emigrants to our town and country, and have these vacant lands around us bought up byac tual settlers. II. K. Honey and M. C.

Krarup also gave their views on what tho meeting should do. A. 8. Earlier, in order to start the ball rolling moved that we advertise our town nnd country, and the motion carried unanimously, A discussion then took place ns to the best way to advertise and developed a variety of opinions. M.

51. Fuller moved that a committee of nine be appointed to prepare a circular setting forth honestly the advan Some Famous Beys. A Swedish boy, a tough little knot, fell out of a window and was severely hurl, but with clenched lips he kept back the pain. The king, Gtstuvs Adolphus, who saw him fall, prophesied that that hoy would make a man for an emergency. And bo he did, for he became the famous General Bauer.

A womun fell off a dock in Italy, She was fat aud frightened. No one of a crowd of men dared jump in iho wa-, ter, but a boy struck the water almost as soon as she, and managed to keep lit up uutil stronger hands got hold of her. Everybody said the boy wus very daring, very kind very reckless, for ho might have been drowned That, boy was Garibaldi: and if you will read his life, you will find that these were just his traits nil through that he was so alert that nobody could tell when ho would make nil nttnk with his red-shirted soldiers; so indiscreet sometimes ns to make his fellow patriots, wish ho was in Guinea, but also so brave and magnanimous that all tho world, except tyrants, loved lo talk about him A boy used to crush the flowers lo get their color, and painted Ihe white side of his father's cottage in the Tyrol with ull sorts of pictures, whi.h Ihe mountaineers gaped nt us wonderful. He was the great artist Titian. An old painter watched a little fellow who amused himself making drawings THE TOWN OF ELLIS Aithougkin its infancy Ike ulte of thccilyof Ellis is qulckea-ing in response to Iho now lifo olood wbich is beginning to throb through tlio veins of the country, and Ellis will soon be known na ono of tho most thriving nnd important business and commercial points in Central Kansas; Th population of our city is about 1,200, and is made up of inleiliirent am! industrious people, who will extend the right baud of followt.bip to any who may cast their lot among us.

Surrounded as we are by Ihe finest agricultural and stock, country in tho stale, we must boom Ellis is the central division of the Kansas rati lie Hailroad, the most important division on tlie road. It is tho half-way house between Kansas City and Denver. The railroad company have chosen Ellis on accsunt of its central location as well as its natural advantages as the location for its works. Here they have placed their machine shops Ueniploving some 3 W0 men; their round house, the stock yards, where nil through live Ftack must be unloaded for food and rest; their eating house, which isone of t'no lest equipped hotels in the stale. They have also dammed Bi Creek at tliU point and put mammoth ice works and take ice from here to supply over 441 miles of road.

This season about 40,000 tons of beautiful ami pure ico was hoisted from this pond for the usa of the Union Pacific. We'bave a complete system of water works, over ton miles of railroac! switches, 'sion; house for four divisions of the road and it more, than probable that lite ear shops will be i jved here in tho near future. Combine the railroad influence wini Ilia agricultural and stock development, then lake into consideration the fact that the country for thirty miles both north and south is triliutnry to Ilia city, that is eounlry is as'; fertile as any in the slate and is being rapidly opened tip, and we think we have rwisim to believe that Ellis is destined to be ore of the' best points in Central Kansas. It is well to also that the country from Brookvillc to Denver, Ml miles indiicrtly contributes lo the liiisinesaiu! prosperity of Ellis. Ff.r au'onntry is opened up and developed the business of the road in creates, in a like mcr.siire does Ihe shops of the road at Ibis place nnd the importance of Ellis as the end of the division increase.

There are scores of line residences and business lots in the city which can now be bought at low figures and which are sure to increase rap tdlv in value. U. P. EatiTjg House Wyt. tt1 (Bellevue Hospital, New York) Physcian and Surgeon, Office up-staire in Nicholson Building.

One of tlio reasons for the great popularity of the Mustang Liniment is found in Its universal applicability. Everybody noedB auch a medicine, The lumberman neds It In case of accident. The Housewife needs it for genoralfamlly use.

The Cannier noeds It for his toamaaud his men. 'i'he Mechanic needs It always on his work bench. Tho Ktlner needs It in oaae of emergency. The Pioneer nesdslt-canget along without it. The Farmer needs it In his house, his stable, and his stock yard.

The Steamboat man or the Bontinan need It In liberal supply aftoatand ashore. The Horse-fnneler noods it-It is his best friend and safest reliance. The Stock-BTOwer needs It-It will save him thousands of jollara and a world of trouble. Tho Itaiiroad man needs It and JA need it sa long as Mb life Is a round of accidents onMangers. The Uackwoousinnn needs it.

There Is nothing like it as an antldoto for tho dangers to Ufa, limb andWort which surround tho pioneer. The Merchant needs it about his store among, his cqiployees. Aocldents will happen, and when the Kustang Liniment is wanted at once, Ktep a Dottle in the House. 'Tls the best economy. Keep Bottle In the Fnctory, Itslmmedlafe use In case of accident saves pain and loss of wages.

The more mind there is plit into work; the fewer engage in the work there is less competition: tho young man should not select a business because it is easy. Whatever you determine to do, do'well. If you determ.

lue to be a carpenter, determine to be nt the head of carpentership; the mass of men will not put enough perseverance into their work, and hence they do not become skilled, and they will always be at the foot of the ladder; learn your businiass tkorouguly, competition has become so great that the young man who wants to succeed must do his work better than the uveraire man of that profession. If he stands at the head of his business he will never fail. It frequently happens that business slackens u(. and an employer has to 'lay off' some of his hands; the men who are dropped off will be the least faithful, the lazy men; th: most intelligent and trustworthy men will be retained. Svery man wants to acquire wealth; it is right that we should.

Do yeu ever think what capital is? Suppose it was possible to annihilate every panicle of capital at one great stroke, what would Ue the result; we could not survive. Tlie man who has his tools has capital. The best thing for you to do is to gauge your expenses so that you can save somethii all the time. We do not re alize the importance of Uose small savings. The best thing for yon to do if you want to become a capitalist is to to save something; save a little everv day.

Put your money in a bank, where it will draw you interest every day rainy days, holidays and every other day. It is an actual fact that not one young man out of teu who ought to be doing it, is saving money. Say to your self, "lam going to live ou less than my income," it won't be many years until you will hnve some capital. No young man ought to get married until he owns a home. There ii no royal road to wealth; the only road to wealth is by saving your money; the amouut which some young men spond for tobacco would in a lew -ears, anio.nl lo sum that would surprise you; the amount spent for tobacco iu the past ten years would buy a home for every laboring mau in the country.

It is not the men who are very rich that are having the most enjoyment out ofje; it is not the rich men who are doing the world the most. good. The best advice I can give you, is, always to be economical tnd cheerful. Russell Springs, Logan county, has no poatoflice, but it has a weekly newspaper and is threatened with another. A minister in Wichita received 03 salary last year and supported a family of six on it.

Now there is a man who ought to strike. At a meeting pf the directors of the Union Pacific railroad iu Boston Wednesday afternoon, Presidont Adams and the former officers were re-elected. Tun executive couucil last Wednesday elected A. R. Greene, editor of the CedarviUe War, member of the state board of railroad commissioners to succeed L.

Turner. The tight for the ofllec was a big one Ihe balloting continuing for two days. The final ballot stoo four for Greeue and two for A. W. Smith.

Attorney-General Bradford, Treasurer Hamilton, Auditor McCarthy, and Secretary E. B. Allen voted for Greene. Gov. Martin and' Superintendent Luwhead voted for Smilh.

BiuiwTiiliET not long ngo called attention to the fact that, though there is a prohibitory law In Maine, the United Stales government derives share of its revenue from the liquor dealers of the slate. This had not escaped the attention of Ihe Maine legislators, as is shown by the provision in the liquor lnwjiiKt passed makiirg tho payihent of a United States tax prima facia evidence of the illegal salo of liquors, for tho reason that druggist is not required to pay that tax for using liquors in compounding bona fide medicines The new law makes the peunlty on the first conviction for a violation of the act, thirty days imprisonment us well as a line. The Presbyterian young folks of Cnn-andaigua. held a com festival the other evening. The decorations of tlio room were of corn stalks, corn was cooked in every style known to Ontario county, there was singing of "Cows in the Coru," and When the corn is waving Annie, dear," a young man played the corn-et.

i' Blessing tho Com Field," from Hiawatha was reud. but not a drop of corn Juice could be had for lova or money, tages and resources of our town and country, and lo make an estimate of tho amount ot money required to advertise, and report at the next meeting, After a lengthy debate the motion was adopted. Air. Kil patrick moved that a vote be t. ken to see how many would support nn advertising scheme financially.

Mr. Fuller moved as an amendment that a committee of five bo appointed to canvass the town for tirancial aid, and that onlv those who enntribut $1.00 or more should have vote at the next meeting. This provoked nn animated debate, but it wns finally adopted. The chairman then appointed the following committees: On advertising D. S.

J. throttle The meeting then adjourned to Mon day evening, April 4th, Now that this plan has been started let us keep it up, and let it not be saiii lhat Ellis is behind her sister towns in the matter of advertising. Sow is the Time. Never before in the history of Kansas has there been such an emigration toter fertile plains as now. The Kansas fever seems to he all the rage in the cast, and everyone is talking about Kansas.

She is today the most talked of stale ia the Union. Every train that comes west bears emigrants to her and more are coming. The question naturally arises how long will this last? It may be that ibis year it may reach its height, and next year some other state or territory may have the call. The towns that now pal forth the effort are tin ones that will receive the benefit of this wave of emigration. It behooves the citizens of Ellis at this time to do all in their pow er to attract emigration to this point.

We see train train, prairie schooner after prairie schooner going west, while we are receiving a comparatively small emigration. And why? Simply because we do not advertise. The counties west of us have scattered their advertisements broadcast over the east, and we see the result. We have just as good country, more rainfa'l. and a better town, and we could have a larger share of this emigration if we put Torth the proper effort.

Let everyone put tSseir shoulder to the wheel and let us all work together for the common good. bustles are now made of back numbers It crushes all the glory out of the profession, and were it not that nn editor cau foci that he has not only brightened a woman's mind, but improved her shape, he might throw up the sponge in disgust and retire from this world of bustle and deception. A Diamond mine is said to have been discovered near Foncn, and there is naturally much excitement over tho matter. One diamond was taken to Sioux Cily and after examination the owner was offered $40,000 for a fourth interest in the find. Kansas can give every occupnnt of tlie United States three pecks of wheat each year; she can give every horse in tlie state 500 bushels of corn nnd seventy-five bushels of nuts for his year's al' Iowance; she can give every mau in the United States one-half pound of butter each season, and she raises broom coru In quantities so great as to have a very noticeable effect on the national market.

The value of field products in Kansas Inst year was sufficient to give fiO cents to every man, woman and child in the United Sutes. The value of live stock products reachos nbout oue third that amount. of his pot ard brushes, easel and stool, nnd said: "That boy will bent me one day." So he did; for he was Michael Augelo. A German boy was reading a blood-nnd thunder novel. Right iu the midst of it he said to himself, Now, this w'll never do.

I get too much excited over it. I cnu't study so well after it. So here it and he Hung the book out into tho river. He was Fichtc, tho great German philosopher. Tiir report of the Union Pacific -directors shows the linnneial result of the year after the payment of all fixed charges and deduction of government requirements.

The balance applicable to dividends was $3, 1 46,868 or over six per cent, of the capital stock, at- compared with four per cent, in 1885. Although the net savings have decreased $692,200, the revenue from investments and miscellaneous sources has increased to such an extent that (lie balance that may be applied to the payment of divi- ueuud IS 1 o.ut.u. I 11U lUtlU MlUUlllg nnd floating debt of the road is total decerease in debt The company has within thirty mouths wiped out the floating debt, $8,251,367. During tlio same period tho financial condition of the system, iu eluding auxiliary lines has been improved in net amounts 7,000,035, and in addition to this has been spent in construction nnd equipment An Oswego, N. mechanic, who has just-returned from Panama, where he was at work for the canal company, says the employees are being buried daily by hundreds.

Three trains arc. run out of Aspiuwall each day bearing bodies of dead employees, which are taken to a place called "Monkey These three trains hear three classes of corpses. The first is known as "dumps'' those who have neither friends nor money. The second train contain those who die at work. The third contains, those whose friends cau pay for a decent funeral.

At the burying ground a long trench is dug and the bodies are dumped in and covered over with two or three feet of The great objection to the food is tho manner of cooking. Everything is cooked with onions. They are found in the soup anil hash, and the beefsteak is smothcrol in Even the tea and coffee taste and smell of onions. The employees of the American Dredging company always receive pay in silver issued by the Chilian government, and each dollar is issued by the Chilian gocei nmenl, and each dollar is worth about sixly-fiva cents. Two Oswego men have arrived home today thoroughly disgusted with Panama.

Several others are at Aspiuwall suffering with fever. An editor once offered a priz of $100 for a story lhat would make his hair stand on end. lie was speedily deluged with tales of horror, but no ou wns awarded the prize. Of cotir tho competitors demanded to know the run son why. They were co-illy told that not of the tales had produce 1 the de-.

Tho Snlina Herald, In a fit of boom ing cr.thusiams exclaims: "It used lo ktike centuries to build up a university. It is slow work in the east now but in Kansas wo btill.l them in a year. THE SCHOOLS AND CHUUCilES.

VTc njtiit not uegbet to mention tltc splendid system of schools ff the town and county. At no place is more interest manifested in schools than in Ellis county. Every district is provided with a good school generally frame or stone, and a term of school is held four to ten months in the year. The county is well blessed with places of worship, and church-going people can always find a place of worship within easy reach no mutter in what part of county bey may settle. Theciiy of Ellis has two churches, both neat wooden eroded by the Methodists and Conrcgationalists, and it tine large slone school house, consisting of four rooms and a base lnetil, the latter being leased for it C3.

A. P. hall. The school employs a force of four teachers and is as well regnlaled a school as there is in tho west. A line large grist mill with the best machinery was completed the early part of the summer, with a capacity for turning out 201) barrels of flour per day.

This will furnish a all tlie grain raised in Una section and is an ornament and credit to Ihe city. The Merchants Hank, a solid financial institution has just been organized unt'c-tlie the stale, and opened tip here with capital sufficient to supply tho demnnds of tlie country. It is presided over by hc eommodnting and competent officers, and is an institution of which Ellis is justly proud and which will prora a great benefit to city and surrounding country. These are but a few of the splendid advantages that the city of Ellis and the surrounding country offers. Come to this land of plenty.

See it for yourself and you will be convinced that it ia-the fairest amis bet of all lands, lie that could not be satistiod in Ellis county would gri'iuhte paradise Then come and find cheap homes in the beautiful west.
