Oreasional short periods of rest have brought about partial recuperation, and while wo will make no promises, it is anticipated that better things may be expected soon. Parties who think that Wichita is not packing any bogs ought to take tour through Dold's packing houso in that city.

The Clicrryvalc Republican has shed its coat, so to speak, and is doing the best it knows how to help along the embryo boom which has lately shown up in tho "future great. The people of Chcrryvale are exhorted to cast out the devils of discoutent, order them into the swine of forgetfulness, and pitch in with renewed vigor and turn up something. That's splendid advice, and it looks now as if they are going to turn up a creamery, and the as council is corresponding with some eastern manufacturing companies, perhaps something will be turned up in that direction. There is a crying evil which Is daily iiRsumlng the proportions of an open outrage against Kansas and against every interest which she lias, and there seems no adequate power to stay its disastrous force. We refer to the treatment that slate and her prominent affairs and interests receive at the hands of the eastern Associated Press.

Let us see. Everything which has blood or murder in it or is otherwise discreditable to the state finds its way into the eastern press promptly and at great, while things that luck these discreditable features find no place whatever in the same columns. Scores of such dispatches have, within tho past few months, appeared in eastern papers under date of Wichita which were not only never sent from hero by the Associated Press agent, but which did not occur within a hundred miles of here, if indeed they ever occured at all. Upon the other hand the state convention held ut Wichita lust summer never appeared in the dispatches of any Associated paper cast of the Mississippi. Again, the unnnimous nomination by caucus of Senator Plumb at Topeka did not appear, and it was two day saflcr his election before anything appeared in the New York pnpers.

No mention is made in eastern papers of Kansas legislative proceedings. In short, nothing has been in the press about anything going on in our state which seems to indicate that our people are exercising the usual functions of a civilized people. But when a county scat fight or a school house fight or a tornado, or somi thing of that kind occurs, or anything else which seems to indicate that we arc in a slate of lawless ness, it is dished up elegantly. Kansas railroads, Kansas lands and everything in regard to Kansas are disastrously affected in the east, and all these lying dispatches and the witholding of the fair and truthful side but contributes constantly to make things worse. The most infamous things which cun be imagined, the foulest rumor ever set afloat, if sent by some cheap scoundrel to Kansas City as a Kkkv L.

In the first place, he wants a boy who doesnt know too much. Business men generally like to run their own business, and prefer some one who will listen to their way, rather than try to teach them new kinks; secondly, they want a prompt boy one who understands seven oclock as exactly seven, not ten minutes past; third, an industrious boy, who is not afraid to put in a little extra work in case of need; fourth, an honest boy honest in his service, as well as in the matter of dollars and cents; and fifth, a good-natured boy, wTho will keep his temper even if his employer loses his own, now and then! But you bnvnt said a word about his being smart! was suggested. Well, to tell the truth, was the rather hesitating answer, thats about the last thing we worry over. The fact is, if a boy is modest, prompt, pleasant, industrious, and honest, hes about as smart as we care about generally and thats a fact; So you see how it is, boys; and perhaps some of you if not so brilliant, may take courage and cultivate these qualities which shall make you acceptable to business men, though you may never shine in the world of letters. WELL TRY AND GO.

While these things are unfortunately truo it is by no means to be inferred that it is all because the east dont want to do justice to Kansas. The trouble is that the average man would rather talk scandal than any business enterprise. The mind of the people turns toward filth, and nine-tenths of the dailies are crazy to furnish it for them. Exalt business, education, morals, and ignore as far as possible all filth and crime. Business men should demand from the daily press a cleaner sheet, with the annals of civilization in the prominent places, and the doings of criminals relegated to the rear.

It is Bimply stuff and nonsense that a paper is obliged to cater to the wishes of the depraved. A newspaper that preserves a healthy tone, and is too much engrossed in the legitimate doings of the people to wallow in the details of the latest sensation, is certain to draw to its support the decent men of the community, and they generally hold the bulk of the wealth. Public sentiment is created by the press. During the campaign four years ago the people were daily treated to a collection of filth that would bring a blush to the cheek of a libertine. This disgusting stuff was deemed necessary both by poli ticiaus and journalists.

At the inception of the recent campaign the leading journals agreed to do no mud slinging, and lo! the people applauded. llow quickly this effort toward reform met the approval of the people. A newspaper which maintains a high standard will always find ready support among the best element 'of society. Perhaps these reflections are slightly out of line with the Eagle's train of thought. We are happy to say that that excellent daily needs none of these reminders.

We deliver promptly all over the west side. The Hold Packing House, of Wichita, gets the first car of Sterling salt, it being taken by them after comparison with salt manufactured at other points, when its superiority was plainly visible. The quality of salt manufactured at Sterling is its best recommendation and will make it much sought after by packinghouses where a pure article is always in demand. We expect to see Sterling salt take the lead for quality and maintain it against all competitors. Sterling Bulletin.

S. K. Davis of Burrton has been quito successful in fruit of late years. Eight years ago he planted three dozen apple trees, which yielded this fall 100 bushels of select fruit. He marketed 1,096 baskets of strawberries, and plums, etc, in like porportious.

Mr. Davis having lived in seventeen different States has settled down to the conviction that Kansas is as good a place to live in as can be found on this side of the big river. Industrialist. The success of the sugar industry is assured in Kansas and the only thing that remains to he done, is for the people to take hold and push it through. We want and need to raise something that will bring in the ready cash.

In case we have the article there is room for a mill every ten miles. Let us see our position to a good advantage and make an effort in this direction. Argonia Clipper. The importance of the salt production in Kansas may be gained frtim a statement made in the senate by Senator Plumb. He said: The development of the salt industry in Kansas has had the effect of reducing the price of salt in the Mississippi valley west of Kansas 25 per cent from the price prevailing there twelve months ago.

Anthony Republican. We are glad lo report that the effort to establish a creamery in this city is meeting with very good success. The matter has been retarded somewhat on account of tho enforced absence of Mr. Bush, of Peabody, who is taking the lead in forming a company. It is a matter in which our farmers should take an activo interest, as they are the ones who derive the greatest benefit from such an institution.

As we said before, we believe any man owning twelve or fifteen cows can afford lo take at least one share, and pay for it by selling cream.
