Secretary of state has issued a Sharter to the Kansas City, Nevada | & Fort Smith railroad company, cap- | ital stock 3 millions. | The officers of this road are: E. L.| Martin, president; A. E. Stilwell, | vice-president; William Taylor, sec- retary; Chuchill White, treasurer. The board of directors will consist of the officers named and Dr. W. S. Woods and J. McD. Trimble. There are twelve prominent capitalists of Philadelphia whoare stockholders in in the road, and they have been ask- ed to name three of their number to be added to the board of directors. As soon as these names are designat- ed they will be elected. President E. L. Martin said this morning that within thirty days there would be three gangs of men at work grading the road. One gang will goto Monett, one to Nevada and one here. The line from here to Monett will be 170 miles and will cost 3 millions to construct. The work will be pushed right along and it is proposed to have trains run- ning between this city and Nevada by June 1. F. W. Bond, who was er:- gineer of the St. Louis & San Fran- cisco road for ten years has been engaged and will have control of the constructin. He is to day in- specting the road as it has been sur- veyed, and every preperation to be- gin work at once is being made. The rails for the entire road haw been purchased. The line to Moneti will be constructed and equipped before the road is extended to For Smith. This road constructed to Monett will give the Frisco road direct con nections to Kansas City. While it is not officially stated, it is under- stood that the "Frisco people are friendly to the new road, and by it another St. Louis line from this city will be operated. The new road will come into Kan. sas City over the Martin belt line. The new road and the Missouri coal and construction company are back ed by the same capitalists and will work hand in hand. It was the first intention to runthis road through Rich Hill, but it has been decided togo 12mileswest of Rich Hill to Amoret. This coal and construction company have purchased 3,000 acres of coal lands in Bates county and the new road will pass through this. Besides the new coal fields the new road will pass through a most fertile agricultural region, and once in op- eration its advantages will be felt in this city.—K. C.

Times. An Inlet to Kansas City for the St. Louis and San Francisco. Kausas City, Mo, Nov. 7.—The officials of the Kansas City, Nevada and Fort Scott road, a charter for which was granted at Jefferson City yesterday, admit that the main pur- pose of the road 1s to give the Fris- co Company an entrance into Kan- sas City by a connection at Monett. While they will not admit that it is to be built with the Frisco’s money, it looks very much that way, since T. W. Bond, who was the engineer of the St. Louis and San Francisco for ten years, has been engaged to superintend its construction. He is to-day inspecting the road as it has been surveyed, and every prepa- ration is being made to begiu work at once. The Chicago Herald is the first in the field witha brand new demo- cratic presidential ticket for 1892. Here it is: For President, James E. Campbell, of Ohio, For Vice-President, PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL. —Captain William S. Adams, Kingston, who died not long ago, was a good friend of his calling, for he left $125,000 to the Boston Marine Society and $60,000 to the Boston Pilot So- ciety. —The regular income of John D. Rockefeller is said to be $20,000,000 a year. That makes him the richest man in the United States, perhaps the very richest in the world. He is a Baptist. —The man who picks up the trains | at Queen Victoria’s ‘drawing rooms” is SirSpencer Ponsonby-Faul. He has been manipulating trains for nearly forty-nine years and has become bent and worn in the service. —Prof. Ralph Copeland, who has become astronomer-royal for Scotland, was one of the scientists for the second German Arctic expedition under Kol- deway, the first that wintered on the | Arctic coast of East Greenland. —Mrs. Eaton, one of President Har- rison’s sisters, wore at the inaugural ball a lace shawl which belonged to her grandmother, the first President | Harrison's wife. She also wore a locket once the property of Mrs. Ben- jamin Harrison, of revolutionary fame. —Mme. De Barrios, the widow of the Guatemalan General, was carried off from a convent by her husband at the age of sixteen, and, though she has seven children, is still young and handsome. She divides her time be- tween New York and various cities in Europe, and her wealth runs up into the millions. —If the most useful man is the happiest man, a gentleman in Steep Falls, Me., must enjoy supreme bliss. Besides keeping a general store in which he supplies the villagers with everything from saleratus to gum,from candy to coffins, from cold soda to woolen stockings, he is also the village barber, sexton, and gravestone manu- facturer and keeps a livery stable. —Dr. James H. Gordon, of Green- ville, Ill., is seventy-two years oldand the father of twenty-two children. Seven of these were boys, and, with one exception, all became physicians and attained more than ordinary suc- cess. The exception was a son who was accidentally killed while a student at the St. Louis Medical College. To take the place of this one. though, there is an only living son-in-law who is a medical practitioner. —Mark Twain's story of a man who made a collection of brickbats has been matched by Dr. Hammond, of Washington. He has a patient with heaps of money and lots of unem- ployed time, who devotes himself to the collection of corks. His museum of stoppers is classified according to the liquor the bottles contained and the countries from which they came. Give him a cork and he will at once determine its origin. —Mrs. Gladstone, though now an old lady—much older than she looks— accomplishes an enormous amount of work. She is even more methodical and active than her talented husband. One of the virtues she practices is that of early rising, and the early hours of the morning—from six o'clock until breakfast—she occupies in corre- spondence or in needlework. And with all her activity there is no fuss. Mrs. Gladstone gives trouble to no- body, but is always helpful, and is consequently everybody's favorite. _—_—— sto “A LITTLE NONSENSE." —He had been there.—Binks—‘‘Miss Sweet is a bouncing girl, isn’t she?” Jinks—“‘Yes; but her father is more inclined that way.”—Lawrence Amer- ican. —“What a terrible cold young Mr. Percy has!” ‘Cold?

In the third volume of Benvenuto Cellini’s autobiography the author relates that when suffering from fever in Ferrara he cured him- self by eating peacock, and that he procured the birds surreptitiously by shooting them with powder ‘‘invented by hin: that made no noise.” —A church congregation at Red Bank, N. J., paid a big price to get a minister who was a hustler. He hustled around the first week and got his facts and figures, and on Sunday he told them that there was more meanness in the town to the square foot than in any other place in the world. On Monday they paid hima bonus to hustle away. —Probably the most valuable par- rot in Atlanta, Ga., is one owned by a conductor on the West Point railroad. It is worth $400. Its owner has been offered that price for his bird, but re- fused to take it. The parrot is a fine African gray and is an excellent talker. When you go about him he first re- gards you critically, cocks his head to one side, winks one eye at you slyly and says: ‘I’m a $400 bird.” —Logan County, W. Va., has an area of 800 square miles. The only town in the county is Logan Court House, with a population of 300. There is only one church building in the county, and that was erected by a pri- vate individual. The nearest railroad station to the county seat is fifty-five miles. Goods are taken to the county in push boats at 75 cents per 100 pounds, as there are no roads through- out the county. Land sells from $1 to $3 per acre. Dense forests cover the greater part of this hilly and mount- ainous county. The hills are full of veins of coal varying in thickness from four to twenty-one feet. —Red-headed girls are dangerous in more ways than one, as appears from this item in the Philadelphia Record: ‘‘A young lady with a peachy complexion and a wealth of auburn hair went into Gaylord’s barber shop in Wilkesbarre yesterday and let her tresses flow to have them curled. The barber wove the mass of hair around the hot iron and staggered back as if he had been shot. The lady’s hair was full of electricity, and the muscles of his arm were sore for an hour.” —Hanover, Mich., has a most pecu- liar and eccentric young man. He is so bashful that he does not speak to his nearest neighbors, and he will go miles out of his way to avoid meeting ayoung lady. A few years ago his parents sent him to school; he attend- ed only three days because twenty young ladies surrounded him at the school house and teased him till he nearly fainted. He took his books home that night and has never been inside of a school-room since. Yet this young man has taken prize after prize for plans for public buildings and is a first-class mechanic. —Jt is commonly asserted that per- sons who fall from a height die in fall- ing, and are mere unconscious bodies when they crash against the earth. Perhaps this comfortable conviction has had some connection with the fact that monuments and other elevated structures have sometimes been chosen by suicides as their stepping-stones to an uncertain future. But one who falls accidentally is in a different posi- tion as regards apprehension and in- tensity of feeling from that of one who precipitates himself. It is highly probable, however, that in any case the momentary whirl of sense provides that its sudden and usually fatal ar- rest, if not painless, will entail at most a mitigated pang. 7s Some Railway Statistics. It is authoritatively stated that there are in the United States at the present time 165,000 miles of railroad in constant operation. During 1888, 475,000,000 people were transported, and 600,000,000 tons of freight; 1,000,- 000 employes were constantly engaged, 30,000 locomotives, 21,000 passenge? cars, 7,000 baggage cars and 1,000,000 freight cars were used in transporta- tion work; $8,000,000,000 represents the capital invested in construction _ and equipment pe boeken which ze! ~for labox ar there(is expend? eee Ta —“Stone fence” is the euphonioue | —A Middletown (Conn.) man re- | absence of four years, and discovered ! that his funeral had been held long | ago and that a body, supposed to be \ —A Hartford girl, who says that six | has evidently determined to have her | Mich., who has three daughters whose | | THE FARM WORK-SHOP.

Copper wire may be used | for many purposes. In flexibility it is between twine and iron wire. A frac- tured thill or wagon-tongue may be made neat and strong by passing cop- per wire many times around it in close contact side by side, securing the ends with a short twist sunk in a slight de- pression so as not to project. Before beginning to wind, cut a small groove in the wood and lay the wire in this groove, so as to bring the two ends of the wire together on one side of this new copper band. If this work is neatly done, the new copper band will be an ornament rather than a defect. There are occasionally small fractures of various kinds which some persons try to mend with cord, but copper wire is stronger, neater and more durable. Next to copper wire, narrow copper straps sometimes answer an excellent pur pose in mending splits in wooden sur- faces, by laying the strap across the split, and screwing it to its place. Small nails will doin place of screws, but they are less secure and are in greater danger of being drawn out. Leather straps are often used in the same way, but are still less secure. The neighbor who locked his smoke- house every night with a strong pad- lock to protect its valuable contents, hung the door with leather hinges which were easily cut with a jack- knife. In the absence of copper wire, an- nealed iron wire may be used in some cases, and in the absence of both, strong twine will sometimes answer, if well soaked with paint or pine tar and dried. Nails are often used on wood instead of screws, and they will answer well if a hole to receive them is first made with an awl or gimlet, and clenching nails are used. (For machines and tools made of iron, screw-bolts of the right sige are re- quired.) We have seen the tongue of asleigh which had been nearly broken off, securely and neatly mended by placing thin strips of tough wood on its four sides, extending nearly a foot each way, and nailing these strips. It would have teen better to use screws instead of nails, and still better to have first made one or two copper wire bands slightly sunk in the wood in addition. These four pieces, placed flat on the four sides, strengthened the pole in the same way that it would have been when set inside a tube, the four all acting together. In making any repair, never do it superficially or in a bungling manner, or it may cost more in the end than a new machine or a new part by a skill- ful mechanic. As a general rule, a ma- chine which is often and continuously used should be thoroughly and strong- ly repaired; one that comes into use but rarely may be repaired in a more superficial manner. But prevention is always better than remedy, and strong, well made tools and machines should always be preferred to defective ones, even if costing considerably more, as the expense of mending and the re- quired delay may be attended with still greater ultimate cost. —Country Gentleman. wor rocr ance RR BUTE SNE HOFFMAN'S Novelty Store, Has been goods for 2 week or more and is too busy to; write an adver- tisement. | MONEY AND LAND. ——— BATES COUNTY LOAN and LAND CO., TAS.

But a diet, largely of oats and bran, wetted to the consistency of thick mush, with half the quantity of bright hay usually fed to a sound horse, sprinkled with water, and but little water given at a time for drink will, in nine cases out of ten, fit the animal for daily labor, unless it be a few exceptional days of close, muggy weather. The stable at all times is the best place for a horse with heaves, as the groom has control of the quantity and quality of food, which is not the case when the animal isin pasture. If the hay be lightly threshed and well shaken to rid it of dust it will be far better, not only for the animal so afflicted, but for all horses. In some cases straw may be substituted for hay, but it is absurd to assert that straw is better than hay for horses generally. I once used a heavey horse at heavy service, hauling on the road and the/™ farm, that carelessly used would have © been worthless. Great care was im the preparation and quality of and instead of stinting in drink, it given its natural allowance, but more than four or five quarts time.
