His wife also is sick. The new hardware firm of A. F. Wiley are dointc as irood business, with a better prospect than before the change. We warn our people from using flour onlv made bv the Standard mills of this city, as it excels all other mills in this vicinity.

The dance held in Simpson's Hall last Wednesday night, was poorly attended, as the weather is altogether too hot for dan cing parties. J. W.

The Standard flouring mill had in store list Monday over seventy-fiv thousand pounds of flour, and have sold over one hundred thousand pounds of flour this week.

One of these rascals entered the dwelling of E. Upton's from the back way, but marshal Stedman being on the watch made it rather uneasy for these scamps, and they soon got out of town with the help of a report from his discharged revolver in their direction of departure. The merchants of this place may feel thankful that he stood in the way of any mischief being performed by Olathe oity, 1st word, Olatho oity, 2nd ward, Olathe Township, Anbry, Spring Hill, North McCanish, South MoCanish, South Oxford, John Evans, S.

I'altit Contliis for Houses. From tho fit. Lou' Hoimhllmu. The London Lancet warmly commends, on the ground of sanitary considerations, the recently-introduced silicate paint for woodwork, and silicate for walls and ceilings of dwelling-houses, specially in their internal application. It is claimed that these materials are the results of long-continued research and experiment to produce pigments free from the well-known objections, on the score of health, to ordinary paints.

The selection of silica as a base was not, it is stated, a solution of tho difliculty in itself silica, in various forms and varying quality, be ing already used in the production of rougn anti-corrosive ami suieuicj piums, made by simply mixing silica in a more or less fine powder with the common painting colors; it was chosen as a base in this composition, because, when obtained absolutely pure, it has no chemical action whatever on iron or any of tho metals, nor can it be destroyed by fire or any of the acids; in fact, it is an indestructible neutral product, incapable of injury to the most delicate pigments with which it may be combined. The first great difliculty to overcome, namely, the production of a non-poisonous white paint of good body, of course, necessitated the discarding of white lead and zinc oxide. This new silicate of white is an improved preparation of zinc, having, it is said, all the good qualities of white lead, without its attendant bad ones; it resists foul air, and retains its whiteness and opacity under all conditions, will withstand five hundred degrees of heat, has a covering power equal to the best white lead, and is entirely non-poisonous. Poker In Colorado. Prom tho Ban Francisco Chronicle.

The town of Fairplay, Colorado, so named from the fair manner in which its people play poker, was enlivened, not long since, by a littlo game whose satisfactory results will commend it favorably to all who become entangled in like disputes. Before the draw, Mr. Graves held a king full and Walker rejoiced in three aces, but alter mat interesting ceremony, vv inner exhibited four aces, and claimed the stakes; whereon Graves drew a six-shooter and reckoned his hand was the best. alk-er immediately supplemented the four aces witn a uowio-Kiuie, antt tne dispute was settled to tho perfect satisfaction the outsiders. 1 here was enough in the pot to purchase two handsome cofhns, and the next day both gentlemen took up permanent residences, side by side, in the beautiful cemetery that reflects so much credit upon Fairplay.

A Prospective Coup d'Etat In Pari. Curia Letter to the Toronto Globe. From what quarter it comes, I know not, but 1 have heard it said that there is the prospect of a mild coup d'etat as soon as the exhibition is oyer an attempt on the part of the Republicans to get rid of the national white elephant, MacMahon. The French, with their national politeness, are no doubt waiting until this international Sicnic is over, for there is now an cxtraor-inary lull in political circles, with the exception, perhaps, of the uneasiness felt at the growth of strikes. The street in which I live is admirably adapted for an emeute, and I expect some fine morning to perceive a sudden cessation in tho roll of the 'bus, whose clatter over the paving-stones breaks my morning slumbers, and to find it turned on its side, forming the nucelus of a barricade.

COLOKKD MASONIC MEETING. From the Linn County Clarion. We understand that ton lodges of colored Masons will meet with tlieir friends hero on the 20th of September. From what we can learn this will be the most imposing celebration ever held here by them. OOOD RESOLUTION.

From the Newton Kanran. The farmer's club at their last meeting discussed and passed a resolution "That it is tho sense of this Club that nearly all fruits that grow in the temperate zones will do exceedingly well in Harvey county'" A DESPONDENT 8 OPINION. From the Chataqua New The wheat crop in this county is not more than one third yield. The acreage is large and quality very good, but quantity small. The immense yield of wheat in Kansas, is all bosh; there will not be to exceed 15 millions of bushels for sale.

LOCAL PLEASANTRIES, From the tflorenoe Herald. It is rumored that a few cowards in Marion Centre are threatening parties with doses of tar and feathers if they oppose the recent action of the county commissioners. We say tar and becussed. Just try it on once and see who conies out best. PREPARING FOR IT.

From the Holton Reoor icr, Joe Taylor has solved tho problem. He says he is now engaged in building sleds under each ear of corn, and when snow comes he will "snake 'em in," an ear at a time. We had an idea that Joe would invent something that would meet the emergency. NEW CHURCH AT LARNED. From the Larnod Chronwcope.

The brick-work of the new Methodist Church is going up rapidly. This structure will be an ornament to the town, and is the first edifice of its kind in tho upper Arkansas valley. It is expected that the dedicatory sermon will bo preached by liisiiop Mmpson. PLANTING TREKS. From the RBroll Advance.

Eiirht airents of issouri nurseries claim to have talcon orders for $18,000 worth of trees in the past six weeks. Tho sales were made principally Russell, Jbillis, Elsworth and Saline counties.
