Shaver and Thos, Wilson, have invented a nailless horse shoe that seems to ill! the bill to a scratch. It is a common shoo with hinges in tho site, in which are placed four braces which meet in front of the hoof and are fastened together' with a bolt In such a manner that they can bo taken off or put on like a man's shoe. Slots are cut in the hoofs to prevent sliding. The shoes have been thoroughly testeil by driving and stand the test well. Logan Freeman.

AtAitkon, on April 2, at 4:15 o'clock, it became so dark that lights wero necessary in business houses, and the air was filled with snow that was as black and dirty as though it had been trampled into tho earth. Six ounces of snow and one-fourth of an ounce of dirt and sand were found in the bottom of a dish. The dirt is very flue, something like emery, and contains particles that have a metallic luster. This dirty snow fell to the depth of half an inch. Tho atmosphere at the time presented a peculiar greenish tinge.

There was a little wind blewing at the time from the northwest, though there seemed to be considerable wind higher in the air. Solid chunks of ice and sand are reported to nave been picked up in various places! One of tho saddest death scenes we ever witnessed occurred Thursday morning in Philllpsburg, in the death of Mrs. Nash. Death nt all times is sad, but when it finds one away from relatives and among strangers and deserted by the one who had promised in tho sight of God to nourish and protect, it then appears the saddest. This lady's lot was indeed a hard one.

Her husband who should have been kind and watched over her with zealous caro, loft her on her dying bed to the tender mercies of strangers. The poor woman was benefited by his absence, as we understand, ho abused her very nmcli. When he was where she was, it is said, he would any to her, "why don't you die?" That such a beast in human form should be permitted to live is one of the mysteries of Providence that can't understand, The ladies of Philllpsburg did themsolves great honor in extending to her all the assistance in their power. The funeral was preached by Rev. Sewell, a methodist minister from Wisconsin.

There was a good turn out at the burial. Kind hands and loving christian hearts were with her to the last. She was buried by the. county. May her happiness be increased by her suffering here.

Mr. C. 0. Wilcox sold four tickets, via. tho" Inman Steamship- lino, from Liverpool to New York lat week.

Theso tickets also included railway faro from New Vork to Prairio View. They were sold to S. Long, of Prairie View, to be'sent to his ft who will locate in this county. The total cost pf the four tickets was 11 1.50. Several boys, sonio of them scarcely a dozen years of were on a "grand old drunk" last Sunday.

Out of respect to the parents of the boys, no names will be mentioned. Any party who will give boys liquor for the purpose nt "having some fun reason should be ridden out of town on a rail. Asido from the criminal aspect, the act characterizes tho party as an absolute stranger to decency and principle. On to Oklahoma! Did jou ever stop to think of what tills Oklahoma boom would do for Kansas? Thousands of people from almost every state and territory and even from other countries, ore now flocking to the Promised Land; most of this emigration crossing Kansas soil to get there. They will notice our beautiful lands teeming with all that makes a great nation, they will return from the sun burnt, arid desert of Oklahoma and make homes by the thousands in Kansas.

Tliis fall will add thousands of people to our state by virtue alono of the Oklahoma craze. It takes no prophet to foresee this, it is the natural result of things and nothing can stop it. We are therefore on the threshold of a very substantial boom for Kansas, and nothing will stop it. It required two days' time and tho attendance of a considerable number of excellent Presbyterian gentlemen in Rochester this week to determine whether' disbelief in the doctrines of foreor-dination and eternal damnation disijilal-fied two of the brethern as deacons. The deacons were acquitted, however, and uothing strange happened.

It is time church ollleers catch something of the sfdrit of the Master whom they profess to serve, lie did not make any such tests as this. Mm will exerclso the right of private Topeka Capital-Common wealth. If men are to bo damned for disbelieving in foreordination and eternal damnation a very largo portion of the professors of religion will "amblo down with the goats." An eternal hell may be aii excellent figure as a scarecrow to hold some peoplo in subjection, but the idea is hardly in harmony 'with tho human conception of the Almighty's intelligence.

Whew! Bro. Jones, you are evidently very easily excited. One of our millinery firms shipped a small portion of its stock up there tho other day, and It seems the verdant Almena people thought a wholesale house had been opened. As there had not been any nusi-ness up there since a man named Smith sold a dozen eggs to the three merchants in 1887, of course the town was a regu-las metropolitan business center while our milliners were there. Almena is a nice place, we admit, real nice, but then the same may be said of a hairless dog.
