To insure allowance, all claims should be properly vouched for. For a city as large and as prosperous as Ottawa, so careful of her appearance in all other particulars, one would think that more inviting and cheerful rooms would be procured for the postofflce.

S. Sargjest. F. A. Baker, formally a resident of this vicinity, later of Sumner Co.

was calling on old acquaintances and friends last week. He purchased a fine horse of a Douglas Co. man, which he shipped Monday evening over the Southern Kansas to his present place of business in Sum ner Co. A few of our horse-men have leased-grounds south of, town on the Carter farm and are having a nice driving track made. There is a possibility that "flyers" may be made out of some of the young "goers" owned by some of our towns-men.

Among them. D. P. Cope has a fine young steed that measures distances at no slow gait, considering his age and the amount of training that has been given him. The rust that had accumulated upon the corn planter is being rapidly removed by use.

A great number of acres of corn will be planted this week, and yet, there are many of the farmers who haven't begun planting. While you are making haste, Mr, farmer, don't do it at the expense of thoroughness in putting your crop in. Corn put in the ground during the first half of May in the proper manner is better than if put in slovenly two or weeks earlier. Make haste, but do yonr work well, onee well done, is twice done. Frank Pyle, the editor of the Lane Bulletin, was assaulted by Tom Long at that place, for reflection upon Long's character which appeared in Pyle's paper.

Frank came out as editors usually do, with colon to the breeze. We are pleased to Bee the banner of the just and righteous brethren of the press proudly upheld when wrong-doers try to dictate too vehemently to them. Well done, Pyle. Accept our "conjrats." Six plug hats for sale. Inquire of J.

M. Case editor of Wellsville Ex-change Wade Cor. in Paola Times. Not so, my friend. Editors never have but one bat and that is usually of the "slouch In cities like Wade, LeLoup or Black Jack it might be necessary for the editor to wear a plug in order te be en rapqort with the metropolitan airs indulged in by the elite; but in Wellsville he permitted to wear something that more nearly corresponds with the size of his purse.

However titers are several Wellsville gents who sport the stylish plug. The "profesh" to which they belongjdoesn't include the editor. By consulting our poetry column you can inform yourself upon that point. Thanks to cur poetess for coming to the resoue just In time. Bro.

Smith, of the Waverly News, struck out from the shoulder last week. This begins to sound like true metal. No one can succeed as aa editor until he becomes fearless and out spoken. He nead not be personal, vituperous, or vindicative. He must be in earnest, conscientious and just Praise the deserving but censure the wrong "doers.

Let their be no spite work, no personal ill-will, but just criticism and then bear the consequences. On last Saturday evening, Nathaniel Eaton received a telegram that his son at the Osawatomie asylum was dead. Mr, II. N. Brockway took the first train to Osawatomie, and with the undertaker, Chalmers, returned with the remains on Sabbath morning.

The Funeral occurred at 3 o'clock Sabbath afternoon the Congregational Church, conducted by Rev. Williams and attended by a large audience of relatives and friends. The remains were then interred in the Wellsville cemetery. Frank Herbert Eaton, the deceased, was born August 1855, at Quiney, Mass. Died April 21, '88.

A few weeks since, he became arranged in mind and was taken to the asylum where his, death resulted from desease of the brain. He was a kind and affable.young man, and his misfortune in the loss of his mental faculties was deplored by all who knew him. His is the first death that has occurred in the family. The parents and one sister, Mrs. H.

N. Brockway, reside in Wellsville. There are two other sisters, one of them residing in Chicago, the other in Lcavenwarth Kane. Two brothers, one in California, the other in Denver, Colorado. Le Loud Heard From.

Fbikmu Exchange: As you are now a yearling we presume congratulations are in order. We feel glad to know that you have passed so much of childhoods era, and escaped all the misliaps incident to that time of newspaper life, (such as cholera hostile, black eyes and disjointed nose), and, are still flourishing. We sincerely wish that your future may be ten fold more prosperous than the past. We do not mean to imply by insinuation or innuendo that the Exchange in the past has not been good, but we claim that there is nothing in this world perfect; and to work for and aspire to perfection is the laudable aim of this life. There is nothing but what can be improved; and as from manifold council, wisdom is acquired, we presume to make a suggestion.

We would suggest that there be added to the Exchange a correspondents' column, wherein the ignorant among its readers may receive answers to any and all the questions they may disire to propound. This wold give it strength as an educational journal and we presume the benefit would be reciprocal, as the editor in looking up the replies would be able to employ some of the idle time that lies so heavily on his hands and ban such a stray tendency toward ennui, lir. Watts said, "Tiie devil finds some mischief still, For idle men to do." Please, no thanks for this as' advice is a very cheap commodity. A company of the fair sex (consisting of some oi our fairest young ladies assisted by foreign talent) were out on a serenading tour the other evening, discoursing sweet music to a favored few, causing pleasure (and probably headache). They called on us and for the time being put us into an ex-tasy of hope and joy.

Our feelings were inexpressible but the darkey came as near the mark as is possible wnen, being asked how he felt when he got religion, be replied Well Massa, I feit like 1 was suspended Detween the heavens and the earth on a great big pan-cake and all the 'purty galls' in creation pouring lasses on me." That was our feelings "preialy." town looks a little lonesome now as most of our arristocratic citizens are rusticating in the rural prospective corn fields, or gone a fishing. The blizzard a few nights ago convinced most of us that the winter has not gone into 'innocuaus desuetude" as we had been led to suppose. Our efficient and respected teacher, Miss Tullen, closed her term of school today with a superb dinner at the school house; the dinner was gotten up with the assistance of Mrs. Gregg, Miss Harrison and others. Miss Pulleu has given unprecedented satisfaction as a teacher.

She has been successful in filling their minds with good Ideas and wound up by filling their stomachs with good dinner (query; which will they remember the We all. (especially some of us) deeply regret tho absence of her presence in our town and hope she may speedily return. "Blind man's buff" seems to be the favorite amusement in society high life since they have discarded the scicniuic game of FxRcnEZA, Parsons Paladium: Kansas is a ulice of the jueiest side of the earth. A few years ago it was a wilderness. To-day it is the garden spot of the world, redolent with the fragranca of the orchard and vintage, teeming with the homes of thrifty people, pulsating with the vim and vigor of progress and mellow with the bloom of almost perpetual harvest.

Last year Kansas sent to the east from her oversowing store houses a golden stream of grain; filled hundreds of their empty trains with the choicest of her herbs and starding on the threshold of this year's bounty she sends her greeting and weloome to half a million of her sons who would try their fortunes on her unbroken prairies. What Kansas will be fifty years hence js beyond the comprehension of the people now living. As many of our patrons have expressed themselves of being dissatisfied with much of the job work done for them in the past, we have completed arrangements to have job work done in future at tho Eagle office at Williamsburg. This office is one of the best equipped job offices in the county, and uses no cheap stock in filling orders. The job printer is a fine job artist and is careful in both press work and composition to turn out a satisfactory job hi every particular.

With the. good looks and good qualifications of the young mayor and with the new council which is composed of our most energetic and sagacious business men, we shall eon fidentjy expect the city's Interests to be jealously guarded and properly legislated for.

We will send the "Woman's Review" of Wililiamsburg, to all our readers without extra charge for the present, You get two papers for the price of the Exchange.
