This work will be rushed and the plant made ready to resume at the earliest possible moment. The city authorities are doing their very best to accommo date the public and are in no way re- sponsible for the lining burning out and boilers becoming foul. All ree- ognize the absolute necersity for duplicate machinery and boilers but up to this time the council has not felt that the city revenuer would jue- tify this additional expenditure. But it is only a matter of time when this will have to be done, and the sooner the better, for it would preserve and increase the lite of the old machinery. Hard Luck. T £4. Brist, of Hudson township, thia county, had lost 3 jacks, one colt, one yearling and an aged jack in the last two years and last Satur. day his Cosch stallion, 5 years old, ran an iron bar, one inch wide and % ofanioch thick into his side just a little above the heart toa depth of fully 6% inches.

A Western Kansas paper tells of a local merchant, “Bill” Jones, who went to Kansas City several weeks’ ngo to buy a@ new stock of goods, They were shipped—promptly and reached home before Jones did, When the boxes were delivered at his store his wife happened to look at the largest, and uttering a loud cry galled for a hammer. A neighbor, hearing the «cream, rushed to her as- sistunce asking what was the matter, Mrs. Jones, pale and faint, pointed to an inscription on the box, which read as follows: ‘Bill inside.” The marshal arreeted two tramps at the depot on Monday. They had atolen’ah overcoat at Dixon’s and one at Richards’ second hand stores on the south ‘side. They were brought to town and arraigned be- tore Squire Hemstreet and given jail sentences. They were evidently try ingfor that very thing, forthe weath er was extremely cold that day C. C: Grider, of Rich Hill, was in to eee us Monday and informed us that he had moved his father, Captain S E. Grider, from Amsterdam to Ad- Man, where he will probably spend his declining years. Capt. Grider is an early settler and has been a prominent and influential citizen in his section for the past thirty years. It Missouri’s surplus poultry pro- duct had been shipped to market on One train last year the train would have been 127 miles long.

The querry is pertivent whether it was better to light the editor's faltering footsteps home or gant tne great trade emporiums for belated custom- ers. Itis suggested that he might have remained at his family fireside atter supper for those two weeks, Anyhow we contend for the old rule of the greatest good te the greatest number. :
