The election for the location ,qf the permanent county seat of (jtove coun ty will be held on October 19. Judge W. H. Pratt was chair man of the Phillips county Republican convention, which, two weeks ago to-day, placed in nomination a county ticket. Hon. W. H. McBride was renominated for representative. Colonel Yard has assumed com mand at Fort Hays. Jim Blaine's son-in-law, Colonel Coppinger, has been in command there. We have not noticed to what point he has been ordered. We used to know Colonel Yard at Ft. Dodge in J869, when he was a major in the tenth cavalry, (colored.) General Sherman is no slouch when it comes to stating historical facts in solid, metalic words. For instance, in his address before the Army of the Ten nessee at Rock Island, 111., he said: "The men who fought against us during the war are still paroled prisoners. Some of them seem to forget it." The Norton Champion tells of the terrible death of the eighteen-months-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Stump, from the bite of a rattlesnake. The parents were returning home from a Bhort visit at a neighbor's. The little child was "toddling" on ahead of them, when it stumbled, fell, and was bitten. The Tregola Index of last week follows up its account of the base-ball game between the Wa-Keenoy and Tre gola clubs by remarking " Vent v!d!,vinci" Now, the Wa-Keeneys beat the Tregolas by 10 scores to 8, and we would like to know what relevancy there is in theJn dex's remarks, and what in thunder vine! County Surveyor Allen, the Hays Free Press of the 2 says, "set the point and drove the first stake this week of the new railroad, when Engineer Mus sen and his assistants will start southwest setting the grade stakes of the first great railroad leading to the southwest, and our boom commences in earnest, and the great uncertainty becomes a realization." A baloon at Norton during the progress of the fair last week, on starting upward, caught W. Grimes, of Minneap olis, Kansas, with a guy rope, nearly killing him, pulling the baloon over from the top, letting the air escape in about a minute, and spilling the baloonist, Lottie StClaire, into a tree top. In this minute, however, these two people were nearly killed. It does us good to learn that the Millbrook Times has a new power press and new type. Brother Graves has lived long enough in western Kansas to merit richly all he will ever get in the way of business success. With the rest of the pioneers, he has taken the remorseless seasons and the lack of comfort that was, in such a full measure, their product. Unlike many others, however, Mr. Graves has made money, and is independent. SPABKS NOT RESPONSIBLE. There has, observes the Prairie Farmer, been an immense amount of trouble due to the blundering, the self-conceit and the suspicious nature of TJ. S. Land Com missioner Andrew Jackson Sparks. But there is one recent land trouble for which no one holds him responsible the earth .shaking in South Carolina. That dis--turbance must be charged to the Depart ment of the Interior. BLOOD NEAR CACTUS. Thayer andConarty, two men near Cac Ius7 Norton county, had a fight, two or three weeks ago, and were parted by friends. A week ago last Saturday, while -Conarty was on his way to the school house to vote at the primaries, he met Thayer returning home from there. The trouble was renewed. Thayer and a friend alighted from their wagon, and -took after Conarty, who, with a friend, .had passed them in a buggy. Conarty drew a revolver, and ordered Thayer to halt. The Ckamjnon goes on to say: "Co narty got afraid, drew his revolver, and, holding it up, ordered a hale Thayer and his man paid no heed to it,but rushed forward. Conarty shot, and Thayer took '-two steps toward the buggy, but was .stopped by the other, who saw blood running downliis arm. Others rushed to him and took him to the wagon. The .ball, from a 38-calibre revolver, struck "him on the point of the shoulder, making A flesh wound and scraping an artery.

Before Squire Emery JnahflU'fQr Ttmliminnrv Avamiitafinn 1 10 6fc, farttkiing Vail for his ap- IjttiMttUM, A WESTERN KANSAS NEED. The American forestry congress, re cently in session at Denver, Colorado, passed an important resolution, praying for the establishing and maintaining of experimental forest stations under the auspices of the state. This resolution was offered and ably supported by west ern Kansas pioneers. Western Kansas should have such station or stations, as it would have a most salutary effect upon the substantial development of that coun try, and rapidly extend our taxable area to the material lessening of taxation. Topcha Commonwealth. The World thanks the Commonwealth for thus manfully speaking aloud at this time in the interest of free state nurseries in western Kansas. It has been about six years since we began the agitation of this vital subject. The proposition originated in the World office, and the originator felt extremely good when the American Forestry Con gres, this month, not only endorsed his theory as it concerned western Kansas, but sought to give it practical application in every state. There were, to be sure, some members who would gladly have seen the resolu tion tabled. There perhaps were a few others who failed to see the need of hav ing the provisions of the resolution apply to all the states. The members from western Kansas would have been content with the designation of the prairie states. After all this has been said, the fact is that live people are awaking to the rapid, unreasonable, dangerous denudation of the native timber in every state and terri tory. They insist that this unnatural destruction of the forests must be check mated. The growing of artificial timber will not only do this, but will serve as an educator in causing the saving of much of the native timber. We have not the time, in this connec tion, to touch upon any considerable number of the benefits to be derived from a good supply of timber. We will say, as illustrative of its vital value to man, that, if New Englandors will just continue de spoiling their forests as thoy have for the last half'twntury, in the course of the next half century western Kansas will be better, ten to one, for agriculture than New England will then be, as well as vastly richer in every way. Western Kansas will grow timber. Having grown it, its value will be felt, and its wanton destruction avoided. But New England will halt in her timber destruction. She does not now see in vain the sudden pre cipitation and alrdost as sudden departure of great sheets of water in localities which, when undenuded of timber, re ceived gentle rains, assimilated them, and were seasonable. HOW IT STANDS. A short time ago Congressman War ner addressed a letter to General Rose crans, asking the expenses to the govern ment of our three great wars. He has recently received a reply, which shows that it cost far less to establish the re public than it did to keep it intact. The expenses assumed by the government for the war of the revolution was 6,000,000; for the war of the rebellion, 86,189,920, 905; for the Mexican war, 8135,000,000. Kansas City Journal. This makes a very pretty showing for the Democratic party, don't it? As a par ty, it was directly responsible for the Mexican war and the war of the great rebellion. Until the life was shot out of the thing, the solid Democracy of the South and the very numerous Copperhead Democracy of the North maintained that it was wicked to attempt to prevent dis union. How is it now? It is a fact that Democ racy has gone back on itself by holding out the idea in its national platform for a number of years that the whole Union is just the thing, and that the (to it) de testable thirteenth, fourteenth and fif teenth amendments to the constitution, looking to the giving of political status to the negro, are all right In spite of these contradictory atti tudes, Democracy, as a matter of cold fact, is to-day what it was in 1861. If you have any idea that this statement is rash, just analyze the acts of the Cleve land administration since March 4, 1885. Tell us, then, whether the loyal element of the Democratic party has been given a fair showing! Michael Finity Heard From. Old Tregoitee have'not forgotten the Eev. Michael Finity, who in 1880, had Buch a time getting a teachers' certificate from, the then county superintendent, T. F. Yaille, and then did not get it Michael, it now seems, lives at Cool edge, down on the Santa JFe, in western Kansas. He is in the land business at that place. A short time ago he made a strong prohibition speech at that place. It was said by the old citizens of that place to have been the largest audience that ever assembled in that city. The sentiment of the meeting was strongly in favor of a rigid enforcement of the pro hibitory law, and the saloon element was very much chagrined and alarmed at the reault, as they had predicted that the meeting would be a failure. Attheelose of the meeting Mr. Finity was followed by a mob, whotoaed him and attempted to hang him. and wen onlv nravented far Jth iolarf ereoce of frfewfe. WA-KEEN1T, WHEELED TO DEATH While on the Way from Wa-Keeney to Ness City. In last week's World the statement appeared thata rumor had reached here of the death of a man near Schell's place by having his head run over by a wagon wheel. On the receipt of the Ness City News, Tuesday, we espied the following infor mation, which makes the whole case clear: Thursday, while on the way from Wa Keeney and about three miles north of Mr. Sohell's place, Charley Tackett's team became frightened by the wagon sheet blowing over on them and commenced to run, throwing Charley to the ground. The wagon which was heavily loaded with lumber, passed over his body just below the arms. A teamster who was along with him ran to him and helped him on the wagon. He did not seem so bad when he was first picked up, but be fore Mr. schell s could be readied he had breathed his last. He was the son of Mrs. Josh Neel by a former marriage and was a young man of quiet, industrious habits. His remains were brought to Ness City Friday evening and interred here. His family have the sympathy of the entire community. FAIBVIEW SOHOOL. Report For the Month Ending Oc tober 2, 1886. Monthly enrollment 12. Average daily attendance 10. AVERAGE QBADES.

The following resolutions were unan imously adopted by the Methodist Minis terial Association lately held in Wa Keeney: Resolved, That we tender our hearty thanks to Bro. Stayt and the people of Wa-Keeney for their kind hospitality and excellent entertainment dunng our stay among them. Resolved, That we highly appreciate the donation of a Sabbath school library of one hundred and fifty volumes by Bro. Watt, of Illinois, and thankfully accept the same for distribution. Resolved, That we feel grateful to Bro. Stolz, presiding elder, for the interest manifested in the several charges of the district, and for his untiring labors to promote the interests of Christ's King dom among us. T. J. H. Taggabt, F. N. Cox, P. F. Wisdom, Committee. That Way In Wa-Keeney, Anyhow. Hays Tree Press. Dodge City is now lighted by electrici ty. Wa-Keeney has oil lamps on the principal' street corners. Evidently the citizens of those places have the right kind of "git up and git." Deputy Sheriff Alsop sold for Werlick & Kershaw, at Finkham's pasture last Saturday, eighty-five head of cattle. The bunches were realized on thus: Fifty six cows and calves were bought by Judge Harlan for 828.50 per pair; twenty-five head of dry cows, by H. F. Morse, for 818.10 per head; four yearlings were sold for 812.30 per head. Mr. Alsop is a good auctioneer, and is ready to attend to anything in the auction line. It occurs to us that we failed to no tice at the proper time the partnership of J. L. Miller and M. W. McCoy under the firm name of Miller & McCoy. This firm are the successors of the Bennett & Smith firm in Wa-Keeney. They have the office which was occupied by Bennett & Smith, and understand fully their business. Mr. C. H. Hay, our genial station agent, has some local reading matter in this issue, calling attention to his readi ness to sell through tickets to all distant points. Mr. Hay is not a particle more interested in the sale of these tickets than you are in their purchase, if you are go ing to take a long trip in any direction. It is a caution the way the crowds surge within the government land office every minute it is open for business. It reminds us of the attendance on regimen tal sick call in the army. By the Wallace News, we see that Mr. N. H. Sawtelle, of Wa-Keeney, was in Wallace on Friday of last week, looking ioralooatioalor aaaaetioaataad. . '' C. W.

Williams, a business man of Hugo, Col., was a caller Wednesday, in company with, his friend, Mr. Wm. Kel ly, of this city. Mr. N. W. Powers, ot Grainfield, was in to-n n on Monday. He had been to the eastern part of Kansas and found it much dryer and duller there than it is in west ern Kansas. W. G. Porter, Esq., editor of the Thomas County Cat, was a Wednesday caller. He was on his way to Hays City to attend the meeting of the Smoky Hill Valley Editorial Association and the Western Kansas Fair. Mr. L. E. Stair, photographer from Wa-Keeney, is in town this week taking views of all the prominent buildings in town. We were permitted to look at some of the negatives, and if we thought we knew any thing about the business we would say that they were good founda tions for good pictures. Nes City News, 2. m Dr. J. W. Scott and Dr. J. N. Vernard have formed a co-partnership in the drug business and in the practice of medicine. Both the doctors are well known and liked by the people of the county and we pre dict for them a good business. Their place of business is at the old stand of Dr. Scott, on Pennsylvania Avenue. Nev City News. Mrs. Bartells went to Wa-Keeney last week to meet her husband and son and received the sad intelligence that the lat ter had been run over by the cars and killed on the journey out here. She re turned with her husband to take the re mains of their beloved son to his old home in Illinois for interment Beelervdle Item in Ness City News, 2. It was developed at the meeting of the County Bepublican Central Committee, last Saturday, that Trego county Bepnb licans, as a general rule, are going to vote the Bepublican ticket on November 1, and that the impudence of the Democrats in claiming to be able to elect any portion of their ticket by Bepublican help will catch its proper rebuke. It was a sad mission on which J. L. Kaplinger went to Greeley county in the early part of last week. His wife, whom he left well at their place, a few miles north of Tribune, had suddenly sickened and died. Word of her illness was sent to Mr. Kaplinger, but it was directed to Millbrook, instead of Wa-Keeney. Her remains were buried before he reached there. They had no children. A H.
