Noticable among the useful improvements to be seen all over this region, in the farming community, are wind mills for stock wells and light power for various purposes. They have become so common that the traveler along the valley is seldom out of sight of this modern improvement. The superior intelligence and inventive genius of this age are fast utilizing all of nature's appliances to supply the place of bodily toil. The supper given by the Workmen Lodge of this city, Tuesday evening last, on the anniversary of Delphos Lodge No. 129, was heartily enjoyed and well attended by members and their families.

Deputy Grand Master W. R. Sheen, and Rev. W. L.

Cannon made interesting speeches and the occa- sion was highly enjoyed by all. The Workmen contemplate giving their next to the public in general. One by gray haired patriarchs leave our presence and pass to a happier and better country. One by one, old and familiar faces that we have been accustomed to see for 80 many years, pass from our sight, and their places are supplanted by others, who became factors in the busy social and commercial world. One by one, voices that we have become accustomed to hear and love, die away in the distance, and nothing is left to us but the remembrance of kind words once spoken.

This week we chronicle the death of Thomas Hollis, well known by most every resident of this town. He was known as a kind hearted old by many, hated by none, with a character as spotless as the beautiful snow. In the everlasting youth of a brighter and better world, the character of Thomas Hollis will ever shine out resplendent for the good deeds done in this world. Oities of the Third Class. It may be interesting to a great many of this village, as we are now endeavoring to incorporate, to read the law governing the incorporation of cities of the third class.

We give in full Sec. 2, Chap. 862, Compiled laws of Kansas: Section 2. Whenever a petition, signed by a majority of the electors of any unincorporated town or village within the state, shall be presented to the judge of the district court of the county, setting forth the metes and bounds of their village and commons, and stating as near as may be, the number of the inhabitants of each town or village, and praying that such town or village may be incorporated as a city, with satisfactory proof that such petition has been published in full in some newspaper printed in said town or village, at least once in each week for three consecutive weeks, and such judge shall be satisfied that a majority of the taxable inhabitants of such town or village shall be in favor of such incorporation, and that the prayer of the petitioners is reasonable, and that the number of inhabitants of such town or village exceeds two hundred and fifty, and does not exceed two thousand, such judge may, by order (reciting the substance of such petition and the due publication thereof), declare such town or village incorporated as a city of the third class, by the name and style of "the city of(naming it), and designating in such order the metes and bounds thereof; and thence-forth the inhabitants within such bounds shall be a body politic and corporate by the name, and they and their successors shall have perpetual succession (unless such corporation be dissolved); the order so incorporating said city shall order the first election in said city for city officers, and shall designate three qualified electors of said city to act as judges of said election; and two other electors of said city to act as clerks of said election; and also three other qualified electors of said city to act as a board of canvassers; and said order shall be forthwith entered at length on the journal of of the district court of the county in which such city may be, and shall also be published once in some newspaper printed in said city, at least one week before said city election.

He has lived a faithful and consistent christian life, he has held several prominent positions church, such as Leader and Steward. He leaves a wife and several children. The general expression is," "a good man has fallen." His funeral was preached at the M. E. church by the writer April 27, to a large audience of sympathizing friends.

W. L. CANNON, Pastor. Vindicated. A great many people have got the idea that an infective disease exists in the stables of Frank S.

Quincy in this town, and report is injuring the business of the town. The report has been set current by parties thoughtlessly and by some for the purpose of injury to Mr. Quincy, not knowing that so doing they indirectly were aiming a blow at the town's business in general. People getting the impression that a disease exists among the horses of Delphos, will not come into the town for fear of losing their own stock. The report that Mr.

Q. had the glanders was started first as a joke, and was told so often that many' began to believe it true. Below we give statements from medicial men who have investigated Mr. Q's. property: Delphos, April 29, 1884.

This day I carefully examined F. S. Quincy and do not find any indications of disease as the result of contamination with, or infection from, diseased animals. Further, at his request, I visited in company with others, his stables and yards and found no evidence of disease among any animal in them. L.

H. KEYS, M. D. Delphos, April 29,11884. At the request of F.

S. Quincy, we this day visited his stables and carefully examined all the stock those in the yards, and we do not find evidence of the disease, usually styled Glanders, or of any similar infection there existing. J. T. STRICKLER, M.

J. W. BARKER, V. S. From District No.

79. Mr. -Seeing correspondence in your valuable paper from other points, we thought a few sketches from these parts may be acceptable. Corn planting is the topic of the day. Wheat looks fine in these parts and bids fair to be a good crop.

Our singing school in Dist. No. 79, closed last Sunday with a large crowd in attendance. Wm. boasts of having the finest 2-year-old colt in the county, weighing 1,350 pounds and took first premium last fall at county fair for general purposes.

There was a Sabbath school organized in this district last Sunday. The following is a list of the officers: Herman Stelter, Superintendent; E. E. Mase, Secretary; W. M.

Selder, Treasurer; W. M. Seider and M. Haley, leaders in singing. Name of Sunday school, Union;" hour for school, 2 All are cordially invited to attend and take part.

We can sincerely say that our singing school has been a success. It was organized the tirst of February with 36 scholars in attendance, ranging from 10 years to gray hairs, and we don't think in sixteen lessons given by Prof. Kuggies, that oue has tailed to read notes quite accurately, aud most all sing like the whippoorwill. We can neartly recommend the P'rofessor as a teacher of vocal music, as he has followed it for years. POPINJAY.

If any fish from below ever make a visit, of either pleasure or business, to the waters of the upper Solomon, they will have to be endowed with both feet and claws, or they will never be able to ascend the thing called a "tish-way," by courtesy over which no water ever flows which has been placed upon the highest part of the dam at this point. Hon.

R. F. Thompson left on the Monday evening's train for Topeka, and the state convention. Mr. John H.

Snodgrass will leave in a few days for California, quest of better health than he has here. Mr. S. and his estimable lady will be greatly missed and we sincerely hope for his speedy restoration to health, and early return to the "garden of Kansas." M. V.

B. Bennett, of the Prohibitionist, will address a county mass temperance convention in this city some time in the latter part of May, of which due notice be given through the county press. B. M. Davis spent last Sabbath in the city, and boarded the evening train down the valley.

Henry Son, of this city, resorted to a new and original advertising dodge. On a piece of muslin Joe Shaffer -one of the clerks -who, by the way, is somewhat of an artist, has drawn a picture supposed to represent the senior and junior members of the firm. The old gentleman with hand upraised is earnestly addressing the young man, who is listening attentively. Above their heads are the words, "And You Forget It," while below appears "Henry Son." The features of the senior are very unlike the elder Henry's, but it is a splendid likeness of Son. Your readers should all see it and then "larf" a mild and gentle laugh, if they can make it mild and gentle.

O. B. Potter and family left on Tuesday evening's train for California. Mrs. B.

F. Billingsley took the same train for her old home in the Keystone state. That she may have a pleasant journey and a safe return, is the wish of her many friends. Ben. looks as lonesome and disconsolate as an orphan c-c-colt in a forty acre lot.
