We understand that Mr. D. Norton, of Saline County, comtemfvlates building some tenement houses in Bennington soon. It is time some one should make a move in that direction. R.

W. Shields lias circulated a paper soliciting money to aid in sending a child belonging" to Mrs. OverstrCct, which was bitten by a rabid to Savannah, to receive treatment by I a madstone. The citizens have con-, tributed liberally. It is a source of regret to many that W.

J. Hamilton was not at home instead of being in the depot to hold it down during the recent storm. We need a good depot in the place of the little shell that now disgraces our town, and the business of our town deserves it. The G. A.

R. Post will meet at their Hall at 9:30 o'clock a. m. sharp, with all old soldiers who wish to unite with them in the memorial services, to be held in the M. E.

Mr. Divelbiss is foreman of I the Salina Herald and a straightforward and energetic young man, and we congratulate him, and predict that a bright future is before him and his estimable I lady. Chas. Tuthill, of Salina, in company with Mr. P.

J. Wagner, of Rockwood, 111., called at our ofliee yesterday. These genem en are here looking for a business opening. The usual difficulty in the way of men coming to town is the absence of houses to rent. We again urgd the necessity of building houses for rent, upon our citizens who possess tho necessary capital to do so.

There is money in it. The Bennington Base Ball Club is now a permanent organization. There are to be two nines formed, both of which are to be controlled by one captain. Following are the names of those who are members: F. H.

Dale, John Dawson, M. Shepard, L. Brady, Phil. Mitchell, Geo. Buxton, E.

H. Palmer, Jason Crow, Wm, Hewlett, C. McKenzie and A. J. Ulsh.

Mack Shepard was chosen captain, F. H. Dale secretary and E. L. Brady treasurer.

E. O. Bonham has withdrawn his name from the city ticket. B. H.

Cros-thwaite and W. H. Foster are mentioned as candidates by many. Both are good men who would ably represent the best interests of the town! We also understand another ticket is in the field, headed with Dr. J.

K. Osborn for Mayor and J. C. Dale. Wash Corlis, W.

II. Foster, A. A. Jones and D. B.

Eicholtz for councilmen. We have not learned who the candidate for Police Judge is. Mrs. A. Hutchin3 is visiting Minneapolis.

Two trains of ohn Robinson's show went up the Branch Tuesday morning. An effort is being made by our young men to organize a base ball team. Why not?

P. Liscomb, living nine miles southwest of Bennington met with considerable loss by last Saturday's stornl, by having his house badly racked, and his outbuildings demolished. Mr. Martin living six miles southwest of toWri, had his house moved twenty feet from its foundation, At last the postoffice mystery is sol ved which lias racked Mr. Best's brain for the past four days.

The letttr mentioned elsewhere is made out to read br an expert as follows: Miss Genevie Hancock, Doniphan, Doniphan Kansas. Now, Mr. Best has no more bad dreams, but sleeps the seey of the just. The enterprising grain firm of Barnes and Bush has bought an elevator Bennington, and Mr. Bush will remove thither and take charge of that branch of their business.

They bought of Geo. B. Eicholtz, who wa the owner of both elevators of that place, and recently sold one to Mr. Rogers of Beloit. Bennington gains a very energetic and live business man.

Messenger. The United States goverment has granted J. Ss Adair of Marshalltown Iowa, and Mr. A. Gilbert of Bennincton, Kansas, permission to start a National Bank in Minneapolis, to be called the "First National Bank of Minneapolis, Kansas." These gentleman mean business, and will invest their means liberally.

Mr. Gilbert is well known to our citizens and Mr. Adair comes highly recommended. Messenger. O.

H. Shepard has returned from his Indiana visit, and says he is more than pleased to return to Kansas. Time changes all things, and a return to the scenes of boyhood days awaken within him no desire to give up his adopted home, our beloved state of Kansas. He reports crops in Illinois and Indiana as being very poor, and some localities the wheat crop will be almost an entire failure. M.

B. Sullivan, of Verdi, called last Monday, and ordered the only truthful Journal on earth sent to his address. Mike is one of the boys, and we are glad to see hi xi enlist in so noblo a cause. He is talking bridge, and says he hopes the people of Bennington will lend their influence to help have a bridge constructed across the raging Solomon on the Frost's line. Postmaster Best has not been feeling very well this week, and the cause of his indisposition is a letter bearing the following superscription: to guiene hand Cole dausent lo kans do po What to do with the 'letter Mr.

Best does not know. He has spent three days looking over the postoffice directory for an office of the above descrip tion, but has given it up in despair. Out of the ruins have risen a palace. Egeberg Co. have their implement house fully restored.

Mr. and Mrs. T. T. Brown went to Bismarck Grove, to attend the Seventh-Day Adventists Campmeeting.

The boys want to keep their hands in, you know. J. O. Brinkerhoff told our agent yesterday that a new depot is soon to take the of our old one.

Let us hope that Mr. Brinkerhoff will make his word good. Walters Bonham say that they are kept busy answering inquiries con- cerningthis country, which are received from eastern rrien who desire to locate in the garden spot of tbei West Our Tioga correpondent is visiting, we presume, but we are willing to grant our reporters the privilege of taking an occasional vacation, as they are all good ones, and do their duty faithfully. i The photographers who were look-ling up a location in our' city, have ar-I rived, and owing to the fact that no s'uiV able building could be obtained, will put up a tent in which to do their work. We have commenced the publication of a serial story entitled, "Driven From Sea to Sea, or Just a Campin." Seventy five ceMrf for six months.

Don't miss this chance for splendid reading, but enroll your name. This story will be a rare treat based on facts. COUNTY I Morsels from Minneapolis. To1 tlic'F-Htor of the Journal: When you visit the "hub" a.k David LaPort "who struck Billy Patterson" but Dave will never tell. The heavy rains of Saturday and I Tuesday, have left our streets in a very muddy condition.

No damage is reported from the Wind, however. I Dr. D. M. Dunn, of the "Tom Cat' of Colby, Thomas eount3 is visiting friends in our city, and C.

A committee consisting of M. A. Arnott, S.M. Stanford ami C. C.

Olney, having visited Topeka to lay our claims heior'e the commissioners. Two young bloods, Malcomb Robinson, and Frank Jackson, were politely requested by his honor Judge Richards, to make him a friendly call on Tuesday morning. The invitation was conveyed to them by Marshal Bush, and the boys responded with alacrity. In the course of a quiet and friendly chat, the Judge asked them if they had not been gambling recently. They responded to the friendly interrogatory that they had; whereupon his honor suggested that ten dollars each and costs, would satisfy tne city and soothe its wounded dignity.

"Spotted Tail" alias Abe Stuil, was also before the Police Court, on a I charge of violating the dram shov ordinance, we believe, Abe proposes to respond to the impertinence? of the court, with testimony, if he can. The postoffice question is at last definitely settled, Bart. Falconer having forwarded his bond to Washington. Bart, says the hitch was caused by the preferring of two charges against him the lirst being that he was not a Democrat. That caused the President to investigate in the interest of Civil Service Reform.

Fearing that might not work, he was next called a thief; but they could not tell whether it was horses or mules he stole. Next, as a "dernier ressort," he was accused with getting drunk. And that broke the cloud, and let the sunlight in upon the Presidential mind. Mr. Cleveland's great mind instantly grasped the situation, and realized the fact, that a good and faithful Democrat was foully slandered.

"What," exclaimed his Excellency, "that charge preferred and the man not a Democrat! Preposterous! Col. Lamont, you will see to it, that Mr. Falconer's papers are forwarded at once. I don't care a if he has stolen forty mules; he is a good enough Democrat for me;" and so Bart, got his papers. But seriously, many of our citizens are rejoicing, many who cared nothing about the postoffice muddle until it assumed the aspect of a personal war upon Mr.

Falconer. Falconer is generous enough to say, he does not believe his chief competitor had any hand in the dirty work. Observer. Hydrophobia Gulch, District 53. To the editor of the Journal: Mrs.

'-Two Wagon dumps are to be built at our elevators immediately. We desire to say to the farmers that in the future there will be no better grain market on the Branch than at Bennington. The great difficulty with most of us is that we take too much on hand to do, and one branch or job is crowding another, and we hare no time to do anything in proper season, or as it should be done.

Mr. Harry Sellers, the efficient agent at Minneapolis, is transferred to Salina to perform similar duties. Mr. McLaughlin, U. P.

H. R. agent at Salina, takes Mr. Sellers place at Minneapolis. The Solomon Sentinel says the Journal has enlarged to eight pages.

It is mistaken. We have, since our first issue, published an eight-page paper, but we have enlarged to a six-column quarto. It will please correct. -W. II.

Zink and J. C. Dale intend to commence the manufacture of washing machines in Bennington soon, having purchased the right of Mr. Barnes to make and sell machines in twenty countries of this State. We wish our new manufacturing company success.

Mr. Jones, of Deluhos, has been appointed route agent on the Branch. Mr. McGonigal who has been on for several years now takes a leave of absence for four years. No fault has been found with Mr.

McGonlgal's official duties but that he was a Republican, and that was enough. Wo substitute the name of Dr. B. H. Crosthwaite for councilman in the place of E.

O. Bonham, who withdraws his name as a canditate. It will be remembered that the Doctor lacked only one vote in the caucus of receiving the nomination, hence our action in the matter is easily explained. -Mr. Shields, living about two and a half mile3 northeast of town, had a hog go mad the lirst of the week.

It wa bitten by the dog that created so much excitement here on the twenty-iifth of last month. As the dog bit several dogs in town it would bo well for the owners of canine brutes to tie them up or muzzle them. This is the way it reads on the bills of the Union Pacific Railroad: "The expense of attending the Seventh J) ay Adventists' Camp-Meeting at Bismarck Grove, will be very light.
