been blessed with timely7 rains during the week but that as a rule rain is needed to bring the crop up to its usual proportions It is yet too early to report any damage the present condition of dryness during the harvest of small grain being in fact rather the normal condition The American Sugar Refining company advanced the price of refined sugar Monday ten points which makes the price of granulated sugar 6 cents net This is the highest price asked in nine years The advance was mediatly followed by the independent companies This strengthens the belief that a thorough understanding has

lived here with her daughter Mary Benda An exchange says an editor is blamed with a lot he cannot help such as using partiality in mentioning visitors giving news about some people and ignoring tbe coming of others etc He simply prints the news he can find Some inform him and others do not An editor should not be expected to know the names and addresses of all your uncles aunts and cousins if he should see them get off the train Tell him about it It is news that makes a paper and every man and women can and ought to be an associate editor Tuesday evening a large number of Miss Lizzie lady and gentlemen friends tendered her a birthday party at the residence of Mr and Mrs Geo Gould In every way it was a success The birthday -ite was the recipient of a handsome Epworth League badge and hook mark During tbe same evening Miss Evalena Belsley who has acted as organist during the Episcopal services in Bellwood was presented a handsome gold pen with pearl-handle The present was a gift from the Episcopal people of Bellwood and no doubt will bo highly appreciated The north and northwest portions of Seward county were visited by a heavy rain and hail storm last Friday afternoon doing great damage to crops There was a cloud burst in the vicinity of Bee aud about five inches of water fell in a few minutes accompanied by much hail and considerable wind The oats aud corn is almost completely destroyed over a considerable scope of two townships The wheaKwas mostly in shook and was not much damaged One farmer claimed that one thousand dollars would not cover his loss At Saward less than half an inch of rain fell Rain hail and wind made things lively at Dwight last Friday afternoon Hail riddled the corn np considerable robbing it of its foliage which will do no material damage if the weather continues favorable The wind had enough twist in it to uDroof several buildings and tear corn cribs to pieces scattering corn and lumber over the prairie The grain office of the

gentlemen recently cured of dyspepsia gave the following appropriate rendering of famous blessing: Some have meat and can not eat and some have none that want it but we have meat and we can eat Kodol Dys pepsia Cure be This preparation will digest what you eat It instantly relieves and radically cures indigestion and all stomach disorders -Dr Hewit Some uncomfortable statistics have been published recently showing that lightning had more victims in the United States in 1899 than in any previous year since a record of such fatalities has been kept The yearly average is from 100 to 150 deaths from this cause or one to every seven or eight hundred thousand of the population The chances against death by lightning are consequently enormous but still people are prone to be timorous and seek feather beds during thunderstqroms I have not lived as long as some men but I have lived long enough to see boys started out in life with good legacies and like the man with bladders tied under his arms to make him swim the bladders being lost he goes to the bottom it is with many a young man It seems to me to be all wrong for a fond parent to labor hard and live sparingly all bis or hej: life for the purpose of giving the children a start in the world Teach the child to swim and he will need no bladders Give him a good education and teach him industrious habits and enough has been done for any boy I would not have any son of the sort which unfits him for practical duties but for that kind which fits him for any or all the duties of American citizenship The boy who works himself through college rarely ever misses it The boy who earns all his dollars usually knows how to care for them Illiteracy is at a large discount these days and it will increase as the years go on hence it behooves the boy to get a good education Get it in the country school house if possible but get it Get it and the other things be added unto The season is past and the harvest is ended and my7 soul the wheat has all been saved The sun shone every day until the last head had ripened and when at last the last acre was in shock then it rained If there is any wheat of the crop of 1900 lost the mischief must be charged up to the man who failed to properly shock and staK For two weeks or all thrwrdgh harvest the sun was very-bright the weather dry the days hot there being not so much as an intimation of even a fall of dew So far as any tests have been reported the yield per acre is averaging higher than the moat extravagant estimates We have heard of nothing less than thirty bnshels to the acre as yet from thirty bushels to thirty-eight bushels which is simply enormous while tbe quality is of the very highest So far as the wheat crop of Kansas for 1900 is concerned the realization is greater than expectation or calculation The clatter of the selfbinders hardly ceased before the artillery of heaven opened out id reverberations and the glotious rains which followed were just beginning to be needed by as promising a show of corn as the state ever boasted If the corn crop should equal proportionately! the yield of wheat just harvested in estimating the volume of currency circulation in Kansas instead of saving so many dollars it will be so many hogs per capita- A Kansas paper 58 32 33 18 42 70 4 40 7 Mrs Ella Brown is recovering from an attack of sicknese Mrs Geo

it our eye caugbt from a eulogy which delivered in Congress upon ory of a deceased colleague which may appropriately be set down as revealing his views on immortality and as an example of his mature English style The extract is as follows: shall not believe that even now his light is extinguished If the Father deigns to touch with divide power the cold and pulseless heart of the buried acorn and make it burst forth from its prison walls will He leave neglected in the earth the soul of man which was made in the image of His Creator? If he stoops to give to the rosebush whose withered blossoms float upon the breeze the sweet assurance of another springtime will He withhold the words of hope from the sons of men when the frosts of winter come? If Matter mute and inanimate though changed by the forces of Nature to a multitude of forms can never die will the imper ial Spirit of mau suffer annihilation after it has paid a brief visit like a
