Last Saturday Aaron persuaded Mrs Aaron to go with him to Linn Co, Kan, At 1 pm we landed at John Campbell’s, at Kossuth P O, 11 miles northwest ot Pleasanton; we passed through Amoret, Trading Post and Pleasanton. After dinner Mr Camp- bell hitched his team to the buggy and drove to Mound City. We called to see our old neighbor, William Ward, who had lived many years near here, not having seen him for several years and knowing he was a candidate for the office of county clerk for the second term and hearing much about Kansas and beer. When we met him he did not know us, and we told him that we were directed to him that he could tell where to get beer, if there was any in Mound City and he plainly told us he did not know of any. They have a beautiful court house and yard, everything neat and clean andthe officers treat strangers kindly. We were glad to meet our old neighbor as county clerk, for surely he has been faithful to the party the many years that we knew him. We believe him to bea man of good morals and we should like to see him re-elected this fall. Saturday night we drove over to Kossuth P O, about 8 miles north west of Mound City. We found the postmaster full of talk, inquiring about Missouri. This place has one store, blacksmith shop and a neat looking M E church. Sabbath after- noon we went to Wallstreet P O. This place contains six houses, one store and no church. I suppose it was named after Wall Street, New York City, which would account for the absence of a church. From there we went west 3 miles, about 8 miles from Blue Mound. It isa nice looking country through here; high prairie land, corn is looking good; wheat in the neighborhood of Kossuth, we were told, was 20 bushels as the low- est and 42 bushels to the acre the highest; flax seed not good, the aver- age about 6 bushels; oats from 15 to 20 bushels to the acre.

Campbell Predicts Chapman's Vic- tory and Party Success. New York, July 23 —Ex-Goveraor Campbell of Obio, who is at the Fifth Avenve hotel, does not think the National (gold) democia's will hold the balance of power in that state. He bad no criticism to make concerning the recent meeting of the executive committee of that party, held in this city. “There are influential gold stand ard demociats in Obio,” he said, “but I do not think they are strong enough to change the results next November. In the ast election many of the s‘ngle standard democrats |é voted for Bryav. My opinion is that nothing but bad methods or egregi ous mistakes on the part of the democratic machine can lose the state tu the republicans next fall. The drift isin favor cf the dsmo- eratic perty. Mr. Chapman, tho} regular nominee of the democrotic | party, will be elected. The force of gravity, the momentum of popular sentiment, will carry the state for the silver democrats. I do not think the single standard democrats can change the tide and effect a different result.”” Bucklen’s Arnica Salve | The Best Salve in the world for cuts, bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheuw, fever soree. tetter, chapped hands, chilblains, corns, and all skin eruptions, and positively cures piles orno pay required.
