You can always get SHINGLES at Bradley's and all other kind of building material as cheap as any where else. The Populist legislature has been in session over three weeks and still the price of corn remains the same. How 18 this thusly? An Alton, Kansas, girl washed all day made a supper of twelye boiled eggs, and then danced all night. The funeral procession was a mile The Populist statesmen who went to Topeka after pie, many of them have returned home to satisfy their craving apetite on hog and hominy. Mr.

Frank Boddington spent, a few days looking after business in this vicinity and in visiting his family. He returned to Kansas City Tuesday. The Wa-Keeney World says that J. M. Rhodes' two-legged calf is still alive and well.

There are many two-legged calves still alive in Kansas; and the worst of it is, they keep up a continual bawl. An old experienced hog raiser says: "The best profit from hogs is made during the first six months of their lives. It pays much better to feed two lots to 200 pounds than one lot to 400 pounds." Several of our exchanges state that in the vicinity of Marvin, Phillips county, that cattle are dying in great numbers of Black -tongue. This is a mistake as we have heard of no deaths from that disease. An Eastern farmer who has been feeding ensilage to his horses for the past two winters, says of the result, that he never had horses to look better, or be healthier.

Mr. Will Jones, the gentleman who was here a short time ago with a view of buying a barber sbop, has bought the shop of W. D. Gower. in Osborne City, where he will locate permanently.

The police boards of our large cities have become to all intents and purposes a machine to control and manipulate the political wires in behalf of the bosses. The Kansas City investigation is showing up a wonderful degree of corruption. J. M. Tinney returned from Topeka last Saturday.

His voice indicates that be received the cold shoulder while at the State Capitol, or perhaps he missed the train and had to be wafted home on the chilly southeast wind which prevailed that day. The Smith Center papers, even the Bazooo, was struck dumb by the recent scandal in their midst. Had such things occurred in one of her neighboring towns, two of the papers at least, would have come out out with two line pica head lines, denouncing with holy horror detestable creatures. But we will admit the fact -it does make a difference as to whose ox is gored. HOME SEEKERS EXCURSION.

R'ys (except New Orleans), to points in Arizona on Atlantic Pacific R. east of and including Ash Fork, and to other points in the Southwest. W. E. FALLAS, Agt.

Mo. Pac. Grant Shaw's defense of the bedbug: There is a good deal said about being as 'crazy as a But bid you ever know of anything else so small, to use as much sense in its career as does the bedbug? A bedbug always has plenty to eat of the best in the land. It keeps warm, and makes it warm for others. All its wants are satisfied and it takes such good care of its health that it is never sick.

It never meets with an accident. It lives to a ripe old age, and dies a peaceful death, after having rounded out an active, useful career. The bedbug is the philosopher the insect kingdom. It knows more than all the bees and ants iu the world. If people had as much sense as a bedbug they would get along better and the bedbug not so well." It is said that the bubonic plague which has killed off a million in India is beading this way and may strike the United States during the summer.

There is little occasion for worry. The bubonic plague started among the people who never bathe or clean house. The wonder is that bal! of the people of India didn't die instead of only a million. If it reaches the United States at all it will hardly reach Kansas. The people of the United States are generally clean, and as the plague is of the microbe variety, it will never stand the test of the Kansas climate.

This is the advantage of living here, and the special advantage of the short grass region. 'The bubonie plague couldn't brace up against a Western Kansas wind and live Afteen minutes. There are no drawbacks, brethren, without some com and Breeze. Nice and warm, Valentines at Ensign's! Cloudy weather prevails this week. George Fenner was over at Smith Center Wednesday.

A few hogs are dying in this neighborhood form pneumonia. John Ellenberger has purchased a fne new Singer sewing machine. A car load of Northern grown Early Ohio Potatoes at Ingersoll's. Mr. John Bissell is in Phillipsburg this week attending to business.

C. Littell is enjoying a visit from her sister who resides in Osborne county. Ray Tinney went to Kansas City on Wednesday. He may remain there for some time. Mr.

J. Twiss, may. or of Kansas City, is visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Lew Hays, of this city.

the result of being too near the business end of a mule. Mr. o. W. Cross.

of Plum township, made this office a vist last Tuesday. He informed us that horses are still dying in his neighborhood. Webb MeNall's mother died at her home near Gaylord last Tuesday. Sbe was 70 years of age, and was loved and respected by all who knew her. Mr.

McFadden, who has been an invalid for many years, died last Wednesday night. The funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the M. E. church, conducted by Rev. Littell.

Obituary next week. A series of meetings began in the M. E. church last Sunday evening. Considerable interest is being manifested and we look for a successful meeting.

A cordial invitation is extended to one to attend and aid in the services. Tuesday was ground hog day, and as he could see his shadow all day, he will again retire to his private apartments and enter into a conspiracy with the weather clerk to give six weeks more winter. However, in yiew of the fact that Wednesday and Thursday were cloudy, and with the influence of the pop legislature, his Hogship may conclude to send us an early spring. A communication was received a short time ago by the St. Louis Journal of Agriculture cautioning farmers to look out for "parties who under the pretense of forming a 'Farmers and Grain Raisers' Protective are asking farmers to contribute five dollars and to agree to pay a quarterly assessment for the purpose of accumulating a fund to enable them to hold their grain and control the price of the same." It would seem strange if any' man with common sense could be induced to contribute to a fool scheme of this kind, but those fellows are looking for "suckers," and no doubt will find them by appealing to their prejudice they hold against the "middle-men:" totally ignoring the immutable law of supply and demand.

STROUT. Clerk. A young lady down in Smith county became very much alarmed the other day because her pug dog kept up an uneasy whine and running off at the mouth. She ran to a neighbor. and in tearful ac.

cents described to him the dog's symptoms. The man began to chuckle and said: "Do not be allarmed Miss although the disease is considered contagious, it is not necessarily fatal. Let the pup whine, but keep him at home as much as possible and the disease may wear itself out; in fact your dog has caugh the Kansas disease but will be all right when it runs its course." what is the preyailing Kansas disease?" she asked; and the old farmer began to chuckle again, and said: "Why Miss bless your heart! your tittle dog bus only turned Populist, that's all." "My Fido, my Fido turned Populist!" she exclaimed. and asked "Oh! and will Fido be guilty of such conduct as some of our pop county officials, if I thought he would I would have him shot, rather than suffer the disgrace of having owned such a The good farmer assured her that there were many good, noble and true men afflicted with the disease, and while they caused their friends some uneasiness, yet they would eventually come out all right. The young Indy returned home much relieved and hoping for the best.
