rj A Long Life Ended. Metlmsalch is dead Most of our traders have oulitles3 heard of and deplored his pasting away. He was riot cut off in the flavor of hh youth, still he did not live enough to either grow rich or make a record. At the respectable ape of 000 years he went out into the gnat beyond. He died, as ho lived, poor, but was pi cus and respected.

At least we judge so as there is nothing known to the contrary. In this age of the world men make their records earlier than they used to in his day. That is some men do. They have to or earn no epitaph. Reader, have you ever pondered over the brevity of Methusaleh's biography.

It contains noiLiug save this single line. "And Methusaleh lived 969 years, and he died." Great guns, gentlemen, years of life en this whirling i-pherc and not own it. Nearly 1.0U0 years of opportunity to speculate in grain and to organize trusts, to build grist mills and creameries, and then to die poor. Truly this is the very irony of fate. Alas, poor Methm-aleh.

Death must have been a relief to him. Ifis life stands out in history as a solemu warning. It proves that a man might even live forever aud not lay up a cent. That with centuries of time to work in he might never attain to the possession of a corner lot or even a claim ia western Kansas. That he might die, as did our friends, without making a will, leaving nothing lor posterity to fight over.

JNot even a life insurance policy for the protection of his family, in the case of Methu-a'eh it is evident that if he had any children they were pretty well growD, at least some of them were, and could "do" for themselves. We are left in doubt as to the number of wives he accumulated. Who can tell the size of the grocery bills that kept him poor all his days. But he is dead, let ua not seek to" pry hito the secrets of his life. The all-too brief history of Metlmsalch however teaches us that men are to be blamed for wasting their years and opportunities.

How sad to die "unwept, unhonored and unsung." How different the case of the successful man. The iran who buys his goods at the right place and pays for them. The uiun who fulfills his contracts, whn savs Experimental Crass Station. An experimental grass station, authorized by congress, and to be under the charge of the department of agriculture, was established by Dr Vasey, at Garden City, chief of the botanical division of the department. It is the first in the United States, and westerners have been working for it for two years.

It is allowed an appropriation of 510,000, and a series of experiments of five years in the grasses suitable for this climate and soil will be made. Dr. Vasey will be assisted by Dr. J. A.

Sewall, of the chair of chemistry and botany of the Deover university. Died. On Thursday evening, August 16, Mrs. Catherine Lay died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Fred.

Reher, near Bushton. Mrs. Lay has been an invalid for years, and was entirely helpless. She was in her 7Gth year, and her death was that of a peaceful old age. A mad dog made its appearance west of town last Monday.

It bit several head of stock and dogs, and as far as we can learn one man. The mad dog and the dogs that were bitten were killed. The gentleman, Mr. Frank Lock, went to Great Bend to try the mad stone at that place. Alden Herald.

In spite of all such warnings and calamities which meet our eyes every day in the newspapers we perceive that the propagation of all sorts of dogs, is evidently on the increase in our town.

He reports eastern money circles are not anxious to make investments this far west this year, but, nevertheless, anybody contemplating to mate a loan, can gefc all the money they want by calling on Specht at Chase, and at reasonable interest rates, too. The prohibitionists of Kansas are patted on the back by all the democratic whisky papers in Missouri or elsewhere, and it reminds us of Bret Harte's little piece of poetry dedicated to the "Heathen Chinee," which holds good in their case with a slight change: That for ways that dark And for tricks that are vain.

CHTER'S The above cats are made from photographs of the discoverer of this wonderful remedy. th first cnt showing him whileperfectly bald, and the second after he had restored his hair by means of the FAMOUS FAIRICON. This preparation is a perfectly harmless herb remedy, the result of a scientific study of the causes, governing the growth of hair, end contains all the elements of which bair is com nosed. Manv have used it who were entirely partially bald, and in not single instance has it failed to produce bair. We particularly invite those who have unsuccessfully tried some or all of the so-called hair tonics, restorers, to make a test of the Fairicon, and we will guarantee that it brings abont a new growth unless the roots of the hair be entirely dried up, which latter occurs very rarely and exists in perhaps not more than five caBes out of a hundred.

Ast. Creamery, Again. K. L. Griffith, of the Kanopolis Iron Works, Kanopolis, was a visitor in our town last Friday, advocating the erectian of a creamery at this place Mr.

Griffith makes it his business to locate and erect creameries, and gives time on the payment of the same. He is evidently our man, it our iarmers end business men have any idea of es- tablishing anything in his line of enter prise. His plan is to erect a cheese factory in connection with the creamerv, and manufacture loth. The machinery which he uses, extracts the butter out 'of 'the milk, so that the farmer is not compelled to buy expensive outfits to raise the cream trst, betore he can sell product to the creamery. Mr.

Griffith has promised to be in Chase again within two weeks from last Friday, and in the meantime we will give below the workings of the Brookville creamery as investigated and reported by a committee from Nickerson, and published in the Argosy, i The Brookville creamery seems to be a very large concern, having a capacity of 3000 lbs of butter daily, costing 7,200, but that smaller ones may be erected for proportionately less money, and that it depends altogether on the amount of milk which can be gathered from the farmers tributary to the cream-'ery. The committee from Nickerson were so favorably impressed wiih the results of the Brookville concern that they have invested largely themselves, and" have urged upon the farmers and business men of that town to do the same to get it established. It says "The committee which visited the Brookillve creamery after an examination of its size, machinery, capacity, decided that a plant costing $5,500 would be all that is needed here for Borne time. They found at Brookville that it cost that they handled 14,000 pounds of milk daily that 4 pounds of butter was made from 100 pounds of milk that the average price received for it was 22 cents, and cost of making butter was 4 and 5 cents per pound; that a good cow averaged $6.00 per month daring last winter, and the dividend for the last year was 16 per cent. There were 100 patrons of this creamery.

The shares are nearly all owned by the patrons. The butter maker receives 65 per month and the secretary $50. Their cow paid them $3.25 per month per head during the month of July when the price of milk was the lowest? The shares ot this creamery were selling at a premium of 25 per cent, if sold at alL The farmers were very friendly towards the institution, 93 per cent, of them considering it a paying investment. The committee were so favorably impressed that they have subscribed liberally to the capital stock of the Nickerson Creamery, which slock is being worked up by Messrs. Woolley and Day, of Kanopolis, who will put up buildings, and have it ready for operation within 90 days after the company is formed.

Every farmer near town who can should take one or more shares, as they can mostly be paid in milk. Several thousands of dollars monthly in cash paid out to the patrons demonstrates the fact that it will pay. The patrons receive $3,000 monthly ia cash which is a very important item." Prohibition County Convention. Our aquatic friends held their county convention last Saturday afternoon, and we must give them credit for being independent and self-reliant enough to select men from their own ranks and nominate them, instead of heeding the voice of the political tempter, and get into such an abominable and inextricable muss as the people's and democratic conventions did, the whyness and which-nes3 of whose nominations nobody seems to be able to fathom and understand, except the originators of the people's convention, and, we doubt, whether they do. Therefore, it is very creditable to the prohibitionists that they have selected their own men the way they did, and that they can expect the support and will undoubtedly poll the whole strength of their party in the county.

The following were the nominations For Representative T. C. Magoffin. For District Clerk J. B.

Handy. For County Attorney W. CWillard. For County Superintendent J. K.

Majberry. For Probate Judge J. Ratcliff. For Commissioner 2d Dist. John Mudge.

Died. On last Thursday morning, at 1:30 o'clock, Mrs. William Murray died at her residence, northeast of Frederick, alter an illness of only a few days. The deceased was 62 years of age. She was otherwise robust and healthy, but occasionally subject to a short sick period.

Consequently her rather sudden and entirely unexpected demise has cast a gloom over her whole family, who reside mostly all in the-neighborhood of Frederick and Chase. Mrs. Will Doran and Mr. Frank Murray are the two children of the deceased who reside at Chase. The bereaved has-band and family have the heartfelt of the entire community.

Runaway. While Mr. John Weaver, who resides south of town, was employed on his farm with a team and a wagon, on Tuesday afternoon, the horses ran away, threw him out of the wagon, and dragged him for quite a distance, in which hi3 shoulder bono was dislocated and the wagon ran across his chest, severely injuring him. Medical assistance was called, and the old gentleman is doing as well as coald be expected nnder such circumstances. I still have good shelled Corn for sale at Raymond, Kas.

It is Undeniably the People's Ticket. No Bogus One needs Apply! The greatest enthusiasm prevailed on baturday evening, at the meeting of the Cle Republican The Chase Cornet Band turned out and enlivened the soft eveniDg air with some very fine The meeting was called to order in Adams Hall, by H. L.

Marshall, President of the C'ub. There was a large concourse of people from town and neighboring country besides the members of the club. The ladies had turned out and showed their intense interest io. the proceedings of the meeting. The speakers on this occasion were J.

W. Brinckerhoff and Sam Jones, of Lyons, who both made excellent speeches. They recited the whole history of the republican party, and it is certain that nobody needs to be ashamed of its record. It has freed so many human beings from bondage, has brought our country up to its present standard of prosperity, and has given us the best circulating medium in the world, iostead of democratic wildcat notes and shin-plasters. It has given us a tariff that has enabled our manufactories, not alone to gain a foothold, but also to compete with aDy nation's productions on the face ol this earth.

The republican party has been a fine financier; it has rescued us from a depleted treasury when it tcok hold of the reins of government in 1860, and left a surplus in the treasury in 18S4, something unheard of in democratic financial transactions, notwithstanding they had to grapple with a war of gigantic dimensions, inaugurated by the major portion of the democratic party, and which the republican party, with the aid of northern democrats, helped to suppress. In regard to the surplus, Mr. Jones, one of the speakers remarked that the democratic party and statesmen found themselves in tae game predicament as the old lady in Arkansas with her plate of molasses and bread it would never come out even. They had either a deficit or a surplus. lhe tariff was discussed in all its far- reaching details, and as it is now the all-absoibing topio of the hour, it was thoroughly discussed by both speakers.

One of the speakers read extracts from English papers, showing that the press of that countiy is in harmony with the views of our present democratic statesmen and their platform, as enunciated at St. Louis and by the President. It was stated by one of the speakers that the republican party had given us the most feasible and practical temperance legislation, and it could be said and substantiated by alt fair minded persons that our laws were the most com plete, and abundantly ample to enforce all the laws in regard to prohibition that -were ou our statute books. And it was done, too. In regard to our representative from this county, one of the speakers made the assertion that Dr.

Bohrer's clamor to have ths county represented by a farmer that is by a man who has plowed, and plowed lots could be easily effectuated, if we would send E. A. Deupree. Mr. Deupree has been raised an a farm, had done nothing in his earlier years but plowed and cultivated corn, and had eaten it, too.

He had worked his way up from a farmer's boy, and, if success, honesty and integrity, coupled with experience and knowledge of the wants of a community like ours, had any weight in the race, 31 r. JJeupree should certainly be entitled to the fullest confidence of his fellow citizens, and receive their undi vided votes. All his interests were identical with the farmer's as well as with the business man's. If the farmer does not prosper, Mr. Deupree nor anybody else will.

It is imperative to legislate in the interest of the farmer, and Mr. Deupree, if elected, will do as much, or even a little more, than almost any man that wa can elect to fill such important position. The cry about the necessity of sending a farmer, that is a man who is tilling the soil when he receives his nomination, savors too much ot East Indian caste, and not of our free western ideas. We might just as well say that he should be light or dark complexioned, or have curly or straight hair. It is undoubtedly true that most everybody here in this western country has farmed during some part of his life, and if he has struck out axid tried something else, and made a suacess of it, that should not debar him from the confidence of his fellow-citizens, if he otherwise has the reputation of being an honest and straightforward man and such is Mr.

Deupree, and if he be' elected which there is not the least bit of a doubt about, Rice county will make one of the best selections sha has ever made, and her citizens will never regret it. In conclusion, the speaker said he hoped that the whole republican ticket from President down to township road overseer, would be elected next fall. The meeting then adjourned, subject to a call from the President of the Club. Prof. Lansing was in town last Saturday and bid us good-bye.

He will go to Illinois, and remain over winter, but return by next March. The Professor thinks that the drouth of last summer is very apt to effect our voices as well as pocket, books, and that he will cast his fortune for the coming winter season with a country where the dollars don't have quite such a large look to the denizens as they will undoubtedly have here.
