Fa. R. R. Co. are building extensive stock yards at Ar gentiue one of the suburbs of Kansas City.

This was a great surprise to the Kansas City folks, Thursday of lust week, a high S. wind blew' the snow into the cuts and the train from the W. did not got into Wallace. A new train was made up there consisting Of four engines with snow-plow, a passenger coach and a caboose.

Upon reaching Oak ley they put on a car of coal for Coll yer, where they arc suffering for fuel, and came on, passing Graiufield at 3 P. M. Wo wish to commend the P. company for their endeavors un der such circumstances to alleviate the suffering of the people along this division of road.

We think the same law would, be.a good one for our Kansas Legislature to pass, would be-a good thing for the families of the losers. We clip the following from t)ie Kenneth Democrat, which explains itself: We would suggest tho following 1. When you come into our never take a chair and sit down by the fire, but come right into the post office proper, behind the boxes; it is public p-operty aud the Government wants you to go back j.thero to see how its servants run things.

If Vou find him at his desk writing, look, over his shoulder and see What he is writing about. This is good manners and highly l'HB HEROINE OF THE SNOW SlOHM.

Intho midst of unary winter, when tho earth was bound In ice, And tho snow spread o'er the landscapo, whlto as robes of Paradise; And tno cold blasts of tho northland blew heir chilling frozen breath, Till all nature bound in fetters, seemed onwrapt in icy donth. Came a goodly friend and neighbor with his horse and robos und sleigh, Asking: "May I take tho children, for a lit tie drive to-day?" And tho mother, nothing doubting, wrapped thorn oozlly and warm, While they kissed good-bye in parting, thinking not of fear or hurm For she knew not reason tittered on Its' weak and feeble throne. And she trusted hor heart's treasures to mad-man's hand alone. He had petted and caressed them, he had loved thorn long and well, Ero his reason had been darkened by a straage and magic spell. Then they started.

Wild and wilder grew the driver, und the sleigh Bounded over hill aud valley on its snowy, icy way, Through tho drear and lonely countryf wild and reckless was his speed, Till tho snow was scarcely whiter than the foam upon his steed: While the northern blasts blow colder tho children's forms to chill, And the snow fell thick and faster over valley, grove and hill. On and on ho madly hastened over bush and ditch and stream. Till day began to fade and wane and stars began to gleam. Then little May said. "Take me home unto my mamma's door; I want to see my mamma now.I'il never sleigh-ride more." Ho scorned her pleading, sad appeal aud wo'uld not pause to heed But tbreatdned he would cast herout and wildly urged his steed.

And when the sleigh wns oft turned o'er the littlo cherub child Would struggle from tho drifts of snow and gain her scat the while; And narry he would right tho sleigh; tho mad-man he would shout, Till on the creek, snow and hill the jaded stood gave out, Then what a sad and dreadful plight, as like a feather tossed, Thoy drifted through' the lonely woods, all dossolate and lost. Two children and a madman lone, without house in sight; Lost in the storm, timid the wilds, ou coldest winter night. 01 who can tell what chance wus theirs to see another day. As wrapping in their only robe, their only house the sleigh; Amid the Btorm and wind aud snow, with shivoriDg forms they lye, If with the morn they see the light, or with tho night they die? Past midnight at a farmer's house, three miles from them awav, A stranger knocked, all tired ond woru, and asked if he might stay: Aud ere retiring to his rest, "Now I could sleep" ho said, "Were not two children lone andlostamid the mountains dread." Then rose a noblo one and spoke with willing earnest mind, "I'll dare the cold and storm to-night, those children I will find." And fearless through the winter blast, und through tho night and storm, She sought the lost "babes in the woods' With heart so brave and warm. She tracked them far o'er hill and vale, with tireless steps and bold, So brave of heart, so strong of will, was never known of old.

8he found them cold and lone and lost, and in her arms so strong, Sheborothe little cherub back o'er tho way so long. She bore them witia ti shepherds's care, back to her father's home, She gave them to their mother's arms, from thence no more to roam. She did blossing to the ritce, in skat she helped a child, Aud God will bless Bach noble deeds, and on them men will Bmile, nobly said, nobly done, all honor to Maud Long, While man shall honor rioble deeds, and right be known from wrong. i GeobobW.

This is an item worth considering by, its readers and friends. We are trying to build up a paper worthy of the town and county in which we live; and believe with, the continued patron age of our friencU in the future as in the past, with the fast increasing population and for a good home paper, and with our increasing experience we can make, the cap sheaf well worth all we aslt lor it. If vou tnink as we do please lend us your hand, and help us extend our subscription list. The Weekly Capital says: Concordia still has the honor of a Republi can post-master. That's nothing, there are other towns in Kansas in the same fix.

TnE '-World" advocates the location of two free nurseries, one on the K. and one on the Santa Fe R. R. the first at Collycr and the other one at or near Cimarron. This idea is a most excellent oue and we second the move with all our heart, To illustrate the, value of advertis ing even in the cap bheaf, we will quote an illustration.

We put in a little local asking for help and the very next day help was secured and several applicants for thejplace were on hands the next day. Dont forget that a good local is read by many and will surely bring its reward. We believe our business men and the benfit men of Wa-Keeney know well the advantages ot advertising, and ihe business that may be derived from a good home news paper. The experience of the beat business inen ill over the world proves that adver tising pays vastly more than the cost pf it We thank mir patrons for the past and hope they will try the in sreas'eSn the future.
