A Delegate Convention, to place In nomination a regular County Ticket, is hereby called to meet in Dpera Hall, Wa-Keeney, on Saturday, Septem ber 1. 1888, at 1 o'clock r. m. The Delegates and Al ternates to this Convention are to be selected in the yarious townships of the county by the same cau cuses which select the set of Delegates heretofore mentioned. .-,,., The basis of representation from each Township io each of the County Conventions is as followB. Townships. Delegates. Glencoe ! Ogallah , Willcox Wa-Keeney Collyer B James Ezllt, Chairman. The Press says there is a splendid opening in Oakley for a good jeweler and watch repairer. Thubsday night of last week, Max Coleman, aged thirteen, died at Kan opolis, Kansas from the effects of a-colt's kick in the stomach. James Mabtin, a drug clerk eighteen years old, fatally stabbed Jos. A. Nixon, a prominent citizen of Stockton, with a dissecting knife, at 11 o'clock on Tuesday. The Bulletin wants the Bepublicans to build a log cabin for political head quarters at Smith Center. This perhaps is a scheme of friend Eoyce's-for utilizing cottonwood trees which have been dying on the uplands over that way! This talk, from Denver Field and Farm, suits us, because it points out the natural course: "To do away with horns is well enough in its way, but let it be done in the more natural and humane manner of breeding to polled sires." To the editor of the La Crosse Chief, fain-. Has Judge Osborn appointed you his counsel in the case between him and purself I Do you know any thing concern ing the case! The World is responsible for its statements, and as far as it is concerned, you need not worry for one moment. The Kansas City correspondent of the Kansas City Times is authority for the statement that Attorney General Brad ford will stump Indiana, New York and New Jersey for Harrison. He will handle the prohibition question, endeavoring to show that the law has been well enforced in Kansas by the Eepublican party, and that therefore there is no earthly need of a third parcy. Senatob W, W. Smith, of Lincoln, Kansas, now lives in Topeka. He has purchased the interest of C. C. Forward in the Windsor Hotel. This famous hotel is now conducted by Odell& Smith. As a politician who is known throughout the state, Senator Smith will add to the popularity of the Windsor. If ho proves to be as good a landlord as he has a state senator, the Windsor of the future will be an unparalled success. Hon. F. E. GixiIiEtte, of Kingman, has been nominated for state senator by the Bepublicans of the thirty-seventh district He has taken high rank as a member of the lower house, and it is safe to say now that that district will be very ably represented in the next senate. Mr. Gillette is not only a faithful committee worker, but he is an eloquent speaker, who can enforce respect upon the floor of either house of the legislature. Jackson Allen, whom the Opinion pronounces one of the worst characters in Kansas, was arrested at Oakley Thurs day evening of last week, on the charge pf having been one of four demons to rape Mary A. Girt, of Solomon township, Graham county. Allen induced Mary Girt to come to his place under the preteneo that he wished to engage her to lake care of his sick wife, and at his nonee he and four others commited the devilish crime. It again looms np that Simon Motz is downed in Ellis county. The Bepubli ans down there must have a grudge agaifeet him. He wanted to be state senator, and his own county would not at. him have its delegation to Colby. Sten he took the track for representative, aafia said to have been sat dawn upon feat Saturday at the caucuses. All the eeaeyMbtz is a man of large legislative experience and a rustler from 'way back m frontier times. M. P. Sampsox, of the Salina Journal, ' pince Geo. Martin's removal from Juno-lfion-City, claims ta be the pioneer editor :-'-lMat of Topeka, in continuous newspaper fartioe. He established the Journal eajfcleea, years ago. Ellis HcadUgkt.

Parasites by the scow have laodgonejifitwaanotin brains they the it jut MY been nibrawsv I a j CONNECTICUT IN THE CRISIS Before the Chicago nominating con vention and since, the World has urged the necessity of the Bepublicans making sure of the electoral vote of Connecticut To make assurance doubly sure; we de sired to see general Hawley nominated for vice president. If the Bepublicans carry New York, victory will be turned into utter Democratic rout. But if they do not then what? Then the electoral vote of Connecticut is necessary to Eepublican success. We are glad to be re-enforced in our views by so respect able an authority as James G. Blaine, In his trip through Connecticut last Mon day, Mr. Blaine said at Meriden: I beg to thank you for this compliment in greeting me so warmly. I have time only to add. what 1 have said elsewhere on my route to-day, that important as the vote of Connecticut always has been, it is tenfold more important in this year oi grace loee. 11 we can nave every re publican voter in Connecticut fully com prehend and appreciate what the vote of this state may mean I shall rest content with the result which your understand ing and appreciation will bring. Ap plause. Trusting, gentlemen, that the ides of November may chronicle victory in Connecticut, and as a consequence, victory to the nation, I return your greeting with all the cordiality with which it has been tendered. Long continued cheers. J MULCHING TREES. The Western Tree Planter is published in Minnesota. If what it says below is applicable to Minnesota, its application to western Kansas is peculiarly forcible. We have studied this subject in western Kansas, and are prepared to say that where mulching in this region is practic able, it should be followed invariably. Our rainfall is not distributed with suffi cient regularity to insure a satisfactory tree growth without the aid of all arti ficial means possible. The failure to rec ognize and respect this principle lies at the bottom of the most of the cases of loss of trees out here. Its impor tance is such as to constitute it the very basic feature of our civilization. Now hear what the Tree Planter has to say: Mulching is nature's great plan of growing trees and all other plants, and would it not be well for us to learn a lesson from her grand teaching P What better plan can man devise than this? WHAT DOES MULCHING DO? In the first place mulching holds nearly all the moisture in the ground, and not only keeps the soil mellow, but will make it mellow. Every one who has lifted up a board that has been lying flat upon the ground has noticed that although the soil au arouna it may oe perfectly dry to a depth of several inches, directly under the board it will be damp. The reason for this is that there is a constant rising of moisture from the ground, and the board has prevented its escape. Leaf mould will accomplish this end; so also will loose straw and refuse from the wood pile. Every nurseryman m the world tells you to mulch your trees; but oh, how sad it is to think of how few ever follow this, the best of all tree-planting advice. No better advice could possibly be given, and if it had only been followed millions of live, thrifty trees would be standing where a few scrubby stumps and vacant spaces remain to tell the story of neglect duty. Cannot this oft repeated advice be used in our tree claims to good advantage? Yes, most decidedly yes. The writers attention, while in Dakota last fall, was most forcibly called to this subject, and his opinion thoroughly verified, by a gentleman whose name has unfortunately been forgotten. His ex perience so forcibly proved the truth in the method that we give it in detail. He had carefully tried the following plan, (experimenting he called it) and was most highly gratified with the result obtained. He had planted five acres of small trees on hiB claim in the usual manner, and upon a portion of this he distributed from eight inches to a foot of straw. He then went along the rows and arranged the straw so that it lay up nicely around each tree and thoroughly covered the ground The balance of the five acres was planted in the same manner, but instead of being mulched was fairly cultivated so that the weeds were kept down and the soil made mellow. The result on the latter was a fair crrowth and with but a moderate loss of trees. Upon the portion which received the mulching of straw he obtained a much larger, ranker and healthier growth of wood, and the loss of trees was too small to mention. Nothing in the way of advice would ever make bun change his ommon that he had solved the problem of success ful tree planting, and so decidedly success ful naa nis pian proved witn mm thet he was recommending it to all who were interested in the subject. The principle according to nature's methods was most decidedly correct, as the soil was kept moist and mellow the two things that all other methods aim to accomplish. Peffer's Tariff Manual. A Non-Partisan statement of facts and figures showing what the Tariff is, what its use, object and effect, its origin and history, with definitions of terms explain ing the operation of specific and ad valorem duties, and giving the difference between a Be venue Tariff and a Protect ive Tariff; together with facts about wool, sugar, lumber, salt and coal, and statistical matter convenient for reference as to all matters usually considered in Tariff discussions: also the Tariff rjlankn 1 oi au the platforms or the .Democratic, Whig and Eepublican parties from 1810 to 1888. It is the whole subject in one little volume of 144 pages, about the size of an ordinary pocket book. It is a compendium of pertinent facts for all classes of people to study for themselves as helps, then they may form their own conclusions in their own way.

Beavers, celebrated, Tuesday after noon, her tenth birthday by giving a party to an even two dozen little misses. Eefreehments were served, and Myrtle and her parents saw that the delighted guests were cared for in the most ap proved manner. Myrtle was the recipient of a large number of presents. The affair was one of the nicest which eyer transpired in Wa-Keeney. Mr. W. H. Willcox reports his thirty acres of timber as done quite well. Not many of the trees have died this season, but the dry weather has put a stop to their growing. Ex-Sheriff Baker was so affected by the hot weather that he rested or tried to rest on Monday and Tuesday, Brace Up.
