Served Them Right. Warvest Hands Prevent a Farmer From Being Swindled. jedalia Democrat. Some weeks ago the barn ot a Mr. Heinsauth, living near Mora, was struck by lightning and burned, a notice of which was given in these columns. Ina few days after the calamity, lightning rod agents swarmed the vicinity and got in their work on several of Mr. Heinsauth’s neighbors, One a farmer invested and was bled to the tune of $210. Others were victimized for lesser amounts. One farmer, an old Ger- man, named Sterling, was among the victims, but ne escaped with on- ly a $25 lesson. The first gang, representing a Chicago firm, solicit- ed the old German to rod his barn. As an inducement they agreed to give him the first hundred feet free, and only charge him seventy-five per toot for all over that amount. The German accepted the proposition [toolishly] signed a contract... ain “a few days the second gang at rived and put up the rods. They run 300 feet around the barn, and then pre- sented a bill for seventy five cents per toot for the entireamount. The old gentleman mentioned the gift 100 foot, and also that the contract- ers had estimated the expense at $17. The put up the rod wouldn’t consent to the deduction, and produced a contract calling for sufficient rod to protect the building men who and demanding seventy-five cents per foot; nothing about the 100 foot | free. At Mr. Sterling’s were a number ot harvesters who took in the situation and saw that Mr. Sterling was about to be swindled. These haryesters raised in their indignation and proposed to take the amount out of the lightning-rod agents hide. The agents became frightened, and gave up the contract to Mr. Sterling and made him a present of the whole job, but that gentleman said he did not want it for nothing, and gave them $25. The men accepted the money and left, glad to get away Not a bad plan for at any sacrifice. swindlers farmers to adopt when come around. High License vs. Prolubition. Just now at Kansas.

The long rows of saloons are.there | on weeek davs, but on the sabbath they are closed, and no intoxicating [drink can be had for love or money. It nas been so for a month past, and so probably will continue ia the future. But just across the line, in loyal pro- hibitory Kansas, the are run- ing in tull blast all through the long Sabbath, and the drunken crowds hold high carnival until the ‘very witching hour of night,’’-and Sunday night at that.
