Cleveland, attorney at law, has been elected an honorary member of the New York bar association. respect of financial status the members of the new cabinet, with two exceptions-Blaine and Wanamaker--are but moderately wealthy. Secretary Proctor has a mine of assured wealth in the Vermont marble company, of which he is the principal owner, and which practically controls the marble business of the country. And when the harvests from the fields, the cattle from the hills, and the ores of the earth shall have been weighed, counted and valued, we will turn from them all to crown with the highest honor the state that has most promoted edticatina. virtue, justice and patriotism among its -President Marrison Inaugural.

The work of inducing the farmers to discard common stock, and grade up by the use of pure-bred males, has been in progress for half a century or more, and yet the farms are filled with common stock. It is satisfactory to progressive farmers that they have improved, however, and they do not again resort to the inferior kinds: Jeff Durfee is said to be honstrueting the largest artificial pond in North America, on his farm a few utiles south of Osborne. He intends stocking it with every variety of domestic waterfowl; all kinds of fish; and several varieties of amphibious reptiles, such as turtles and and bull-frogs. The domestication and culture of the bullfrog is an industry that has never before been undertaken in Western Kansas. It is thought probable that the C.

0. railroad will build from Alma south this spring. It is expected that the road will go to Lewisburg, and a town i is wanted at Rifenburgh's mill on the Prairie Dog. From there it is thought the road will go up the north side of the Prairie Dog to Long Island, Norton and down to the west of Colby, where it will intersect the Kansas Pacific, another road of the U. P.

City Independent. introduced in Congress by Sena- tor Spooner provides that a system of farmers' institutes shall be maintained as a patt of the Agricultural, Department. A superintendent of Institutes is to be appointed at an anuual salary of $6,000. Meetings of institutes shall be regularlyheld in the agricultural sections of the country at which experiments and discussions pertaining to agriculture shalt be conducted. The proceedings of these institutes are to be published.

Authority is given the superintendent of Institutes to hire lecturers at a fair rate of compensation for the time actually employed. The annual cost of this system of institutes is not to exceed $500,000, exclusive of permanent salaries and the printing of reports of the meetings. DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS LOADED. KIRWIN, March 2d, 1889. Alfred Hill, wish to say that at the time of signing the petition to the Kansas legislature, asking for an investigation' of the "Coffeyville dynamite outrage," I was entirely unacquainted with the fact that there were any charges said petition.

Lamb represented to made against tiny person or persons in petition was a request to the legislature to investigate the Coffeyville matter, and said nothing of the charges prefetred therein. signed the petition on his representation without reading fall of it. I have no desire to charge crime to any man until it may be -Kirwin Chief. win Signed: ALFRED HILL. RAILROAD MEETING.

An Enthusiastic Convention held by Representative Citizens. Pursuant to an impromptu call, issued Monday afternoon, a spirited mass meeting was held at Weed's hall Monday evening. Authentic reports having reached the city that the K. C. Co.

was making preparations to extend their line from Alma southwest. and that towns west of here were taking steps to secure the road, our citizens became aroused to mediate action, therefore the hasty movement. Temporary organization was affected by the election of Wm. Spurlock chairman, and 11. S.

Montgomery secretary. By request of the chair, Mr. W. T. Adams stated the object for which the meeting had been called.

He said appearances indicated that the road would be built a few miles north of the city, which he thought would be detrimental to our local interests. Ho would favor immediate and decisive steps to induce the building of the line to this city. He suggested that a petition should be circulated to secure the expression of the people upon the advisability of offering reasonable bonds. Mr. Giffen Culbertson was of the opinton that it would be useless to circulate fi petition until it could be determined what the railroad company proposed to do.

Mr. E. M. Weed thought if the road was to be extended an effort should be made by this city to get it. He believed the most practical route for the road was via Long Island, providing the objective points were Colby and a southern direction therefrom, and agreed with Mr.

Culbertson that a petition would be ineffective until definite response was had from the company, The chairman stated that he thought active measures should be taken at once, and had waited for this movement for sometime. He believed the meeting should appoint a committee to develop the necessary proceedings to be taken by the city to encourage the road to come to this city. Mr. A. C.

Hays moved that Mr. E. M. Weed and Mr. Giffen Culbertson be appointed a committee to visit the officers of the road.

The motion prevailed and the gentlemen were elected to 1 represent the city. Mr. Adams suggested that a subscription paper be circulated to raise funds to defray expenses of committee. and thought $75 should be given the committee for such purpose. The chair appointed Mr.

Adams and Mr. W. B. Dim(sek committee oft finance. Mr.

Culbertson said he believed it useless to send the committee without definite arrangement beforehand, where and when officials could be met and interviewed. Mr. T. V. Whitcomb suggested wiring the officials and fix time tor meeting them.

A motion by Mr. Hays carried that Ca N. Frantz accompany one or both the committee to Alma and make arrangoments to consult oticials at a time in the future mutually agreeable. Mr. H.

Graves thought it would be wise for the committee to ask for transportation while arranging for said meeting, and the committee were so instructed. Mr. Weed said he thought it in order to get an expression froth those present regarding approximate amount of bonds the city and township would favor offering the road. He stated that $2,000 per mile was the maximum limit by law for voting railway bonds, but felt sure the city might enlarge upon this by fondering depot grounds and other conveniences: Mr. Culbertson said he had consulted the map, and the most practical route for the road seemed to be by way of this city.

He believed that reasonable bonds would be sufficient and if the road was built to Granite Bluff, as reported, it could not very well miss this city. Mr. Hays thought the road would scarcely run to the north of the city, because the country was so rolling the labor consequent to build the line would not warrant that route wheu a level road bed, could be secured up the Prairie Dog Mr. Jos. Skelton 'stated that Tom.

Price had been endeavoring to get the Company to build the road through Granite Bluffs, and the prospect was very bright. On motion of Mr. J. M. Figley, Mr.

L. Carnahan was elected treasurer of the present organization. A motion was adopted authorizing the chairman or committee to call another meeting when ready for report. A motion by Mr. Adams carried making the following permanent organization: Wm.

Spurlock, chairman; H. S. Montgomery, secretary; L. K. Carnahan, treasurer.

Adjourned, subject to call as heretofore stated. WM. SPURTOCK, Ch'm'n. H. S.
