The cariosity of some ladies is unlimited,and wtieu they become curious to knowwhere their liege lords or lovers spend theerentige, they will go to a deal of trouble,an.) run a too J many risks of being recogniz-ed to sai.'s'y that curiosity. For instance,one uignt list week, at a late hour, wc met ayoun.laMj on Main street In disguise, run-nin- e

down the street in great baste. At thispoint our cuiioity was aroused and wewatclieJ funhtr proceedings of the lair one.She took a position In a dark corner whereshe ciuid waicii both a saloon and bagnio.Havo not beard th result, but we will wagera a ckle that a truant lover was taken in be-

J. G. Walker, who owns a farm nearJamesburg and resided on it a while, but gottired of Kansas and went to Ohio on a vMt,staying about two years, returned last weekto his former love. The change in the vicini-ty ol his farm has been so great with im-

Seven little bitsof dogs vicro holding somekind or a consultation down on Lawrenceavenue, near the Presbyterian church, yes-

terday morning. The convocatien was re-

markably homogenous in in its make-u- so

much so that we couldn't help smiling at thegeneral averagu or each iittlo body, tho ear-nestness ot each little lace and tac emphaticwiggle or each little curly ;tail. Just thencame bounding down the avenuo a big jackcotton-tai- l, who, in deflcrenco to tho yolpingchorus set up, or the imminent danger of aformidable charge, scooted into a hole underthe sidewalk, followed by the whole pack insingle file. Emerging at another hoio somefifty feet distant, tbo rabbit turned the nextcorner, only to fall Into the jtws of a big dog,who was loiturcly jogging along, with nothought of such a wind-fal- l. The last dog ofour convention was Just going in at the holewhere the rabbit disappeared, as the first dot-wa- s

coming out of the hole from which thegamo escaped. Nothing was plainer to thefirst dog. than that the last dog was hot on thetrail, so he lollowed him. So with each sub-sequent emerging dog. When we left the lit-

tle fellows bad completed the circle and wereGetting warmed up to the work, ave rasingtbrao dogs un'jVr the walk, one earning out,another going in and two on a dead run be-

tween boles, little dreaming that the gamehad been gobbled. There mu.t be a moralto this tale: So goat the whola world, thebuiness men, the politicians, the pleasure-seoker- s,

and we might add the newspapers,all kicking up a dust and tearing along likemad just alter tho one ahead, while somelucky dog picks up the fortune here, the hon-

or there, tne leadership m another place,leaving the great human train to wear out ina fruitless chase alter itself.

In another column we publish the inter-view or an later-Ocea- n reporter with W. C.Woodman, oflhis city, touching his Nationalfinancial scheme. It will be observed thatthe man detailed for the work by that greatjournal was a financial expert and that everyquestion put went right lor the pith of thematter in band. It will be noticed also thatthere was no uncertainties or generalizationin the replies ol Mr. Woodman. We havethought at times that it might be barely pos-

sible that our people failed to fully appreciatethe wisdom mid comprehensiveness or theplan of our fjllow townsman. You know "aprophet is not without honor save in hisown country ." We don't mean all of ourbusiness men, for many of them who gavethe matter attention not only appeared to betaken with the scheme, but indorsed it, andalso asked Mr. Woodman to take the propersteps to lay it before the powersofthe country. From the Jacksonville (III-- )

daily Journal, published at Mr. Woodman'sold home, we sec that he addressed a largeaudience in that city on Wednesday evening,March Ctb. A column report orthe meetingIs given, and a hearty vote of thanks, includ-ing a resolution touching the views present-ed adopted.

P. S. A dispatch receive J yesterday morn-ing, lrom Uarrisburg, informed us that Mr.Woodman was to deliier 111 lecture lastnight at that capital to the solons of the greatKey-ston- e Stato. It looks very much astiiough he was bound Washlnttonward, butanother week will tell.

Rev. John Kirby took bis text somewherein the book of Genesis last Sabbath morning,wo do not remember now ir we knew then.Whether it wa the soft breathings ot awak-ening spring, the quiet glory ol the sunlightthat fell glinting through the half open shutters, or yet the spell of the flowers placed athis side, or all ot these happy Influences com-

bined, we know not, but the discourse thatwelled up lrom the heart aud fell from the"

lips ofthe speaker stirred to the profoundestdepths the natures or tho waiting audience.That it came of an inspiration, reflected fromtrae earnest faces before htm, we would ratherincline. The prepared mental feast, the text,and in truth tho very Uible itself, was lostsight of, and the speaker, resting beneath aheavenly benediction, seemingly begotten of

the fruits of his past month's labor, and filledwith a sense ol the griefs and woe9 of humanity, poured out from bis overlull cup alibation ol genuine sympathy that found sresponse in a hundred earnest eyes that glis-

tened In tears. Every cloud that trails itsthreatening length across life's horizon lienot only gave a silver lining, but spanued itwith a bow of beauty aud promise, and intoeach aching breast instilled dews that wonback the trusting faith of "all's well 1" andplumed anew the spirit's fluttering pinions.Ho apologized at the end for torgetting hist:xt and prepared discourse, but tnere wasnot a listener present, saint or sinner, thatwas not glad that he had. Grand mental ef-

forts, embodied in tine language and embel-lished with bold and striking imagery, suchas 3Ir. Kirby is wont to offer, will commandthe affirmative answer and applause always,wherever mind reigns; but to reach directlythe heart ol man and to persuade.it to open,as unfolds the flower's petals In the morning'dews and light, and to send out its incense otsympathies and lift, is transcendently a finer

nobler work. This he did.

The lovers ot good music, the which ourtown boasts such a number, will he delightedto hear hat Caroline llichlngs, who wentwest last fall will stop in Wichita upoa her re-

With but little inconvenience we can passupon tho condition of incisors, or eTen pre-

Some of the farmers ot the Kaw Valley,throush the Lawrence Dally Jturnal and3Ianbattan Vaf iV.WMf, are giving estimatesol raising corn in Kansas. All the work andexpenses, from the removing ol the old stalksto the cribbing of the crop are Wken into ac-

count. One estimato makes the corn costten cents per bushel. We would like to see

some estimate from our Arkansas Valley

J. J. .Merrick, one of the original proprie-tors or Harper Center, was in the city Friday

and Saturday. He proved up on his claim

which was tho first piece or land secured lromgovernment in that new county. Many landbujers are going into Harper, bnt as no titles

have been received yet buyers find them-

selves reduced to the proposition either tobecome settlers or buy out somebody's claim

and settle anyhow Harper is a goodcounty.Congresman Ryan writes us that the directmail route Irom Wichita to Harper hereto-tor- e

spoken ot will becomo a law at an early

day.

Our people will remember the two girls

James Stewart.About the only practical way to get Douglas

Avenue and 3Iain street into shape again, and

it would be the quickest and cheapest, is with

plows and scrapers, and the addition of a

hundred or so wagon loads of dirt. To at-

tempt to till up the boles by hauling dirt wouldprose an interminable job, and then the jabwould not be a good one. But we may be

mistaken.We .neglected to notice last week the re-

ceipt ofthe Kansas atate Agricultural Reportlor 187G, as complied by Allred Gray, theSecretary. It is called the Centennial reportand Is very elaborite and lnterestin. TheLegislature provided for a biennial report for

Mr. J. R. Grant sonds us full accounts ortho terrible tiro which in a few hours left HotSprings a dreary, blackened waste, The city,as most or our readers know, is or was situated in a narrow gorge in tbe Ozark Mountains, and the flames licked up both sidesclean. One hundred and fifty bouses wereburned and a half million dollars worth ofproperty destroyed. We make the followingquotation from 3Ir. Grant's letter: 'Hundreds are homeless and in need of aid.
