Minnesota is experiencing some of the inconveniences of a grasshopper plague. We wish to extend our sympathy from a distance. THE state of the "Plumed Knight's" health, to all appearances, is sufficiently good to enable him to support the biggest boom on the list. Now that Germany has a young, healthy, English-hating, real emperor on the throne, she may be able to stir up strife among the European powers. 1 There is another rumor to the effect that Henry M.

Stanley, the great African pathfinder, is dead, but the report has not yet been authenticated from official sources. It is to be hoped that the Republicans will do more in their platform than to praise themselves and try to ingratiate themselves Ifttd Hhe favor of all classes; as the Democrats did at St Louis. Id J. R. McKeever, formerly connected with the business de-L partrrient of the Journal, has begun the publication of a paper at a new town called Denison, in and determination of Attorney General Bradford to enforce the law, a great deal less would have, no doubt, been done.

The members of the bar of Jackson county who passed the resolutions found elsewhere in this paper are a mixed crowd of Republicans and Democrats, andjf we mistake not, are most all if not all antis. Does a Hewspaper Pyt In the first issue of the News. we published a complete description of Denison, together with the business openings which the town offered. Among the openings thus named was a boot and shoe shop. Now, an enterprising shoemaker, by the name of Mr.

Head, who has been stopping for some months in the town of Hoyt, chanced to pick up a copy of the News, and after reading the article referred to.he was not long in coming to the conclusion that Denison was the proper place for an industrious man to do business, so he forthwith gathered up his tools and took passage for the town of Denison, and on reaching here found the towtf exactly as the News represented, and expressed himself as being well' satisfied with the town and its business prospects, and immedi ately rented shop room in the business building located on corner of Central avenue and Third street and went to work. Mr. Head will bring his family here soon, and permanently locate. We make him welcome, and do not begrudge him the business success which he is sure to have. Numerous other inqdiries have resulted from the publication of the News.

Who will be the nex lucky 3usineis. We wish to impress it upon the minds of our readers that our town of Denison presents an opening for several kinds of business, not now represented here, that is not often equaled. Here we are located in one of the best improved and wealthiest portions of Jackson county, without business competition in less than ten miles in any direction and in some directions much more than that; only seventy miles from Kansas City, with which we are in direct connection by railroad; surrounded by a community who are anxious to see a good market established here at which they tan sell their products and purchase their supplies. Here you can buy lots and build houses suitable for carrying on the branches of business much needed here, for much less money than they can be bought or built in most other places, that are either overdone, or filled up arid where a good paying business is not nearly as sure as it is here. Here we have a good lumber yard, two general stores and one grocery store, and a stock buyer and shipper, all doing a thriving business; and an elevator and a hotel now being built.

Any person acquainted with and accustomed to ways of doing business in Ka nsas must see at a glance that here is a good opening lor a bank.a hardware store, a stove and tinware store, a seed and implement store, a 'drug store, a harness shop, a shoe shop, a butcher shop, a livery stable, and in fact anything that will justify and pay a living profit in any of the good points in Kansas where there is good market for produce, a good demand for farmers' supplies, surrounded as it is by a good and prosperous farming and stock raising country. location for any of the kir.ds of business named, we hope they will not fail to investigate this place.

Walker Tucker, pro prietors of the town of Denison, are building a hotel, at a probable cost of When finished, which will be in about sixty days, the building will be for sale on terms that will enable the purchaser to go into a good paying business with a small outlay of cash, and enable him to make the deferred payments in his business. Persons who want to engage in that business, who have means to furnish the. house and make a small payment down, can go into it with the assurance of doing a good business from the start.

Elder John Douglas, father of Wm. A. Douglas, whom our last is sue stated was very low, died Wed nesday, June 13th. at 4:20 p. m.

and the funeral of the deceased took place the following day in the afternoon. Funeral services were held at the U. P. church and were conducted by the pastor, Rev. J.

S. Colvin. About 200 people were present, and the eyes of the congregation were not dry as they sang the favorite psalms of the deceased, heard the reading ef the passages of Scripture he moat loved to read, and listened to the appropriate sermon ministered by the pastor. These who mourn the departure of a kind husband and father, have the profound and heartfelt sympathy of their many friends. The deceased has lived' a long and useful life, being at his death eighty- two vears of ago.

He has been a member of the United Presbyterian church since his boyhood, and held out a faithful Christian to the end, saying that he was ready and willing for his Master to call him home; and as death came, his wan features were lighted by a smile which proclaimed peace an-i victory. Holton, Kansas, June 13, 1888. At a meeting of the bar of this countv regularly held hero to-day, the following resolutions were' unanimously adopted: Whereas, The strict, speedy and impartial administration of justice through the medium of our courts is matter of vital importance to every well disposed citizen; Wheiieas, A delay of justice is often equivalent to a denial of Justice; Whereas, The First Judicial district of Kansas enjoys distinction of being R.

Frank Chase, of Douglas, was up assisting them. The Republicans of Mayetta chose delegates to the county convention. They are John Kelly, A. E. Crane and Sam Oarber.

Mr. Editor do you know where I can procure a Democratic dictionary of difinitions, or is there one published? I have spent so much time in trying to get at the meaning of Democratic declarations, only to find they meant the opposite to what I have been taught that I could even be civil to a book agent who could furnish such a book. Reform, as carried out by the democratic party is the opposite to what I supposed the word meant. It declares itself the friend of the soldier and never misses a chance to give him a kick, and so on indefinitely. But there is such a vast difference in my idea of what is meant by "Roman" or the "Noblest Roman of them all," and the meek and humble manner in which their candidate" Tor Tice takes his treatment by King Grover, I am inclined to give it up.

Was there anything of the Roman in the meek manner in which the old man retired to his corner less than four years ago at the bidding of Grover when he told him that he was too old to be of any use in this reform administration? Was there anything "Roman in the way the old man -obeyed, when a few weeks ago dis same Grover reached over and took the old man by his "Roman" nose and bade him "come out I need yon now?" It seems to me if Thurman was too old fer a cabinet position four years ago, he is, too old now for the viee presidency. It is said that Dan Toorhees objects to him on the score of age; he is afraid if elected he might not live out his term, and in some way might raise up another In- galls. There seems to be an idea in some minds that there is some special significance in this "Bandana" bus iness. Such is not the case. I happen to know the inside facts in the case.

About a year ago Cleveland eame to the conclusion he must have something to wave in the next cam paign to offset the Bepublican bleody shirt. So he ordered out the rebel flags, but the Grand Army sat down on him so hard he had to give that up. He then begged Frankie for an old apron or something to wave, but she was a little out of humor because he wouldn't spank Foraker fer her and would not do it. Finally Dan Lamont a few weeks ago thought ot Thurman's old bandana. This is all there is in it.

formerly of North Cedar, made a fly ing trip to Denison last week on bus iness, and on his departure he in formed us that he had experienced an enjoyable time with his numerous mends in this vicinity, lie Bays (jhat he was treated royally to ice cream and strawberries, and one of his "lady friends," fearing he would get hungry on the road home furnished him with an excellent Junch which he duly appreciated. Rob. says he is coming back again as he is always sure of a good time out here. Judge of our court, possesses in an emi nent degree those essential qualities of learning, experience, sterling Integrity, strict Impartiality and good, bard common sense which peculiarly fit him for a Jurist; Therefore, Be It resolved by the bar of Jackson county In meeting now regularly assembled: First, That we especially commend Judge Crozier for his prompt manner of dispatching the business of our court, whereby a saving of many thousands of dollars has annually resulted to litigants and the taxpayers of this county.

The indications are that with the most favorable weather from this on, the flax and oats will not be more than half a crop. Corn is still doing well but is in eminent danger from the chinch bugs; there is a full crop of them. There was a ball at the residence of Mr. Abe Marple, at Cope, last Wednesday night. I know of at least two of the boys being found asleep at their work next day.

Mrs. J. Q. Myers returned to Holton last Friday from a two week's visit among relatives and friends on the creek. There was a surprise party ef young folks at the residence of I.

C. Myers last Friday eve, the occasion being the 19th birthday of his son Will II. After partaking of ice cream, they tried "tripping the light fantastic," but for seme cause it did not appear to go off very well. A sister of Mrs. A.

Salts from New York has been visiting her the past week. jt'd Coleman starts in a few weeks for an extended visit to the Mountains in the search of health. His wife accompanies him. Ed has been poorly a long time. He has the best wishes of all who know him for his speedy and entire recovery.

Myers and Neyman have had to dig a stock well in the big pasture south of Denison. At a depth of twelve feet they got an abundance of water. John McQuerry of near Hol ton, the old reliable, is putting them up a wind mill. Mr. Editor I thought from your first issue that you were going to try and straddle the fence, politically, but was glad to see you get on the Republican side: There was a meeting of both the Democratic and Republican clubs at Mayetta last Saturday night.

Democrats are trying to raise funds to raise a hundred feet of Cleveland and Thurman pole at Mayetta. When they got the returns from Oregon, they concluded that ninety-nine eet would do. Next November it Jackson county. The News is a creditable journal, and we hope "Mack" will succeed. State Journal.

Ex-Gov. St. John says that railroad monopolies and the rum power carried Oregon for the Republican party. If our memory serves us right the Governor talked pretty much the same way about the election which caused him to retire from the Governor's office in this state, and still at this late day it is no easy matter to get a drink of whisky in anti-St. John Kansas.

jces that "Chief among its Iciples of party faith are the jVjlntenance of the indissoluble Sam fnAA miA spates." TJhe Republican party Mil tried to impress the truth of that clause upon the Democrats about twenty-five years ago, but they were so busy contracting war debts that they were unable just then to appreciate it. A meeting of the bar of Jackson county, June 13, endorsed Judge Cbzier and passed resolutions recommending and requesting his renomination to the judgeship of the First judicial district ofKansas. Judge Crozier is a shrewd and practical officer, but a majority of the decisions rendered by him in the prosecution of the violators of the prohibitibn amendment to the state constitution shows him in direct sympathy with the violators of said law. He does not daim to be a prohibitionist, and it is said that thei quillf They record he is a drinking man himself. the hi True, the latter part of his term the hs been marked with better Mg success in the conviction of the Davis, violators of this law, but had it motion At to pitohl A 1.
