Now ia the time to come west. Cheap lands will soon be a thing of the past. Farm lands that are worth, to-day $12 to 20 per acre will soon double. I'OVL STATE SESnOattU DISTRICT, rILL P. WILSON.

Another good rain last night, Mr. Chas. Froehlich reports cattle doing first rate. The republicans of Kansas are satisfied with Mr. Iagalls.

Work on Sam Smith's house has reached the painting stage. Wny. Ben so, wife and children were in the city trading Wednesday Mr. Woods has taken temporary charge of the little children ot Chas Todd. Parties came all the way from Hays City to buy grain of our popular dealer.

D. E. Dana, wife and daughter are expected this p. in. from Bnrl-! ington, Iowa.

Santord Sites, of the Saline, is mentioned as a candidate for superintendent of public instructions this fall. Mr. Sites is a competent' man. R. G.

Palmer retnrned from Ellis this evening with his cousin Miss Dora Be.ardsley, of Pontiac, who has been taveling in 1 Jolorado, and will stay a few days with us. District court is in session at Hays City this week, and the town is full of strangers the jail is ditoj Our jail accommodations seem to be popular, as it is" patronized by all the western counties. Somebody stole the seed corn out of Chas. Todd's grainery the night of his re-captnre. The thief shonld be hunted down and penned for the honor of the township.

Don't let this matter pass. The Santa Fe bond holders are holding their annual meeting at Topeka, at this writing, and upon the results of 1 hat meeting depends the question of railroad extentions of that system. Our couuty is interested as several townships have voted bonds for a branch from iittle Rivers to JQays City.

The Journal job department is well prepared to execute all kinds of printing from a big colored poster to a visiting card. They have a thriving Sunday school at Ft. Fletcher.

Mr. Kratzer is especially adapted to Sunday school work, and Ft. Fletcher is fortunate in its superintendent. During the rainy season the bicycle remains, per force, in the shelter of the told, while Childers keeps himself in practice by climbing up and falling off his back shed Ouly towns like" Walker offer safe and sure returns to the invest or. The old towns have had their day and must give place to new ones in matters of speculation and investment.

-The Walker town company have in contemplation the erection of a fine hotel. That is right gen tlemen, a first-class hotel will do more for our town than any other siugle enterprise. If you want to prove np od your land you can save a trip to Hays City by calling at the Walker JorUNAL office for your papers ou a homestead or preemption. And now will come the tarn in the tide. Farm property all over the state has been too low for years and will now be appreciated to its true value.

The old timers of Walker town ship will be sorry to hear of the death ot George Koch, sh, which occurred at the residence of his son at Autouita, Colorado, last week. The Ilnsscll Jonrni.l has pur chased the entira plant of the Re view, and under a new dress and increased editorial force will enter npou a wider and mote extended field of usefulness. The liushell Journal is a credit to Russell city and county. On and after April 29 tb, the daj coaches ou the Union Pacific's No. 3, known as the "Overland Flyer," will be taken off, to better enable it to make time.

This will add largely to the popularity that has already been gained by this fast, train. After thatnlate it will carry only passengers holding first-class tickets, to points where the train makes regular stops, between Council Bluffs and Ogden. Such passengers must purchase tickets for seats or berths iu Pullman Sleepers, boioro entering the cars. The Abilene Gazette claims the right to criticise republican nominations, and we concede it that right, bat the fullsome flattery it complains of, is in better taste thau a senseless tirade of abuse like that contained in the Gazette's "Superficial, sycophautic," "Obnoxious and indecent," article published the morning after the convention. There is a great difference between honest criticism, however adverse it may be, and abuse.

We give the political parties credit for an honest difference of opinion with regard to the merits of "didates and principles; and criticisms within the line of such difference is legitimate. We beg of the Gazette not to mistake personalities for criticisms. Qnite an amusing incident and one having the element of the tragic in it, occurred ou Big Creek last Sunday afternoon Ckarle1 Baugher was pensively eauutering along the bank of that placid stream whan his attention was attracted by a babel of voices in all the varying tones of command entreaty and supplication crying-Here puppy; puppy; puppy, come huppyj puppy hi puppy. The scene of the trouble was a dark pool of deep water. 6n one Bide of which was gathered a German family of imposing numbers and attired in gala array.

Midstream was turmoil and trouble and for some moments Charley could not make out the cause. Occasionally a dogs tail would rear out of the water and look frantically around and beat the water a time or two and disappear, to be immediately followed by excrntiat? ing crya from the family of here pnppy, here puppy "I gift3 you de pest colt what I rot if you safe my dog," quavered Jater familias as Charley approached. And thus entreated he waded in and catching the coon by the tail threw him ashore ant released the pup which bad nearly succumbed. The pup was very valuable of the yellow variety and now Charley ia the hero of that precinct. Two 2-year-old horse Colts, One half platform spring Wagon; One set double Harness.

Pais Growth of a Book When Webster's Unabridged was first published in one volume, it was a comparatively small book. Some years after, an addition was made of 1500 Pictoral Illustrations, A Table of Synonyms, and an Appendix of New Words that had come into use. A few" years later came an entirely new revised edi tion of larger size, with 3000 Pictorial Illustrations, then after an interval of a few years, a Biographical Dictionary of nearly 10,000 Names, and a Supplement of nearly 5000 New Words were added, and now there has come a new and most valuable audition, A Gazetteer ot the World, of over 25,000 Titles. The work is now not only the Dictionary, par excellence, but a Biographical Dictionary, a Gazetteer of the World, and a great many other good things in its many valuable Tables.

Kvkrt family that loves this goodly fruit can raise their own, if they will but give a little time to the culture of this luxury. Many an apple box that ia ao readily con-Terted into fire wood, can be filled with the rich scrapingsof the street, and first boring; a few holes ia the bottom of the box for draining, they can plant six good plants in each box, filling the box two-thirds full of earth and then carefully planting the Tines, spreading the roots of each vine star-like, so aa to allow them to bud upon the soil. One dozen boxes of this kind upon the roof or balcony of a house, would give a luxurious dish often to a family, and from the new kinds of strawberries with proper care we believe every person can raise specimens of this fruit that would astonish every grower, the new kinds now offered are said to produce fruit from eicht to twelve inches in circumference Real-Estate Transfers- From Stale of'kansas to Caleb W.

UNION PACIFIC "Tho Ovorland Route," The Sportsmen's Tourists' and Pleasure Seekeaa' Line. The Old Man Whipped Again. A pleasurable ripple of excitement passed over three or four of the neighboring townships Tuesday, when it waa learned that ElQ a D. Gorham had met his nemesis and had gone down to Russell to repair damages. It seems that Mr.

Gorham owed Emile Emile finding it impossible to settle according to board of trade rules, had recourse to the homely, but effective manner of knock as knock can. Pete O'Brian, according to report, umpired the settlement and stopped Emile on the last cents worth. Emile stood trial Thurs day on a charge of highway! robbery preferred by E. J). who resented this manner of collection and made the charge.

Emile was defended by Attor ney Holland, a new acquisition to the legal talent of Russell, (and the boys say a Jim Dandy of a lawyer). Five reputable citizens swore they would not believe E.D. G. under oath, and the half had not sworn hnt the justice declared he had heard enough and E. D.

stood oath impeached, plucked, bedraggled and black-eyed, before the bar; a spectacle eror Gods and men to shun. Emile was cleared ami received the congratulations of his many friends. After the trial Gorham caused a warrant to be issued against Emile Rhuling for assault and battery and next Saturday the trial will take place in Russell. A Vampire. has been in our midst tor the past three years one of those monstrosities in human lorm incredible, astounding and sickening.

One that respected not even his own blood, and the discloseure as made by his child has created an excitement that is liable to terminate fatally for the gentleman before he is through. Chas. Todd has been accused by his 15 year old daughter with being the father of her unborn child. A warrant was sworn out on Tuesday by Mrs. Geo.

Lightcap and Todd was arrested, but in a manner unknown to us at present writing, the brute has been allowed to escape. So vile a wretch should never have been allowed to leave the township his neighbors should have taken care of him until court convened. later. The vampire, Chas. Todd, was recaptured at 12 octock Tuesday night at the house of Herman Rath 4 miles north-west of Walker and returned to jail.

It appears that the deputy who had the prisoner in charge, bad allowed him to go ont unattended and Chas. failed to return. Wo congratulate Sheriff Mc-Lain on his good fortune in recapturing this villain. At the preliminary examination before Judge Bussard the prisoner waived examination and was sent to jail ou failure to fnrnish $1,500 bond. A Chance For a Bargain.

THAT EGG PROBLEM. Two Dozen Eggs the Final and Correct Answer.

For two weeks or more the good people who read the Journal have been puzzling their brains over the egg problem, wrestling half hens aud half eggs and half days, until ttie whole thing was pretty much of a scramble. Many solutions have been forwarded to to this office, with answers ranging from 4 to Hi eggs, A large per cent, of the mathematicians decided that 28 was tha correct answer. while a great, man thought that 42 were the combined products of the fractional hens. A few persons were smart enough to figure out 21 for an answer, and that is the correct one. As the problem reads: Ifahenanda half lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how many eggs will six hens lay in seven days! Democratic Convention.
