Dorado. The Onlv National Bank in Butler County. in Surplus Frldaj, April 25. 1SS4. Pennsylvania instructs for Blaine; Illinois is tor Logan.

There are now 160 miles of shelves of books in the British museum, and about twenty more mile remain to be filled. Ex governor Osborn, ex-govenorr Anthony and ex-governor St. John expect to spend gie summer in our State. This is the ''ou" year in polities. We see that postmaster Millington, of the Winfield Courier, postmaster Slur-dock, of the Wichita Eagle, postmaster IVrry, of the Paola Republican and a half dozen other postmaster-editors who do not reside in this district, have something to say about our congressmen.

It is wonder ful witli what unanimity these federal pap-suckers eulogize the men who are in otlice. A new tire extinguisher has been invented which is not only cheap, but is pronounced a success. It is in the tnrm of a hand gienade containing a preparation, which, when thrown into a 11 utile, bleaks. The vaprr evolved extinguishes the flames. An exhibition in Tnpekn, Friday, before the State officers, wasmiile a success, and the Slate board of charities ordered a supply of grenade for all ihe charitable institutions in the State, the test, a large bon-Hiv was started hi a pile of pine haulier saturate wilh tar and coal oil, anil after being thoroughly ablaze all Ihrough, two liottles of tin; grenades were thrown into it and almo-t instantly extinguished the flames.

Mr. II.lI.Goss.nl Chicago jave ihe exhibi tion. This is just the thing fur towns. Indianola Inklings. April IS, ISs-I.

To the Eililur ot the KoubliiMiu. Indiauoiit does not seem to have a cor respondent, so 1 will try to act pro tern. Com planting is the older of the day. Apple tiees are going to blossom very full. John Osborn lias just completed a large two story square houe.

John doerves a good house; he was one of the early settlers here. Mr. King, who bought the Dave Black place, is building a tine residence. H. 'iV.

Beck is feeding two car loads of Arkansas cattle. Air. of Augusta, is lanning E. M. Dm ley's place.

The new crop of babies have commenced to arrive; a boy at F. Ay res, and a girl at E. Koots. ElishaKoot. of Oinro, Wisconsin, is vis iting his son here.

Our school is in a very flourishing cou- dition; W. E. McDonald, of El Dorado is the principal. The fault we have heard Mac find wasthat ladies were very scarce here; we are sorry this is so, for we would like to retain him another year. F.

L. Ayres lias reuted his farm, aud ac cepted a position In lteid's bank at Au gusta. Frank aud family. We think the Times man a little rough on the Rev. R.

Arthur, olthis place. Mr. Arthur was.swiuuleu.uy a traveling sales man, and willing to do.good to his fellow man lis wrote a warning to the public, short and to the point, and presented it to several of the papers in the county with the request to publish. It.was published by several papers, Sheldea being the only one who refused to do so. Sheldeu called it "a long winded squeal," and rclused to publish it, except at ten a line.

Does Sheldeu. staud in witli Swiu-dlers, or did he act tliusly because Mr. Arthur did nut happen to be a subscriber to the Timea'i Thank there are editors in Butler county who are gentlemen- Our Sabbath school is nourishing. T. A.

Signs ol peculiar aud decisive changes were observed on the slender cieseui ot the present new moon. Au astronomer within the past ten days claims to have discovered something unusual going or. iu the fleal peak ot Tycho Brulie, a big mountain which has always been a prominent object on the eastern side ot the uioon. Tycho is a volcanic crater, nearly teet high and Ally miles in diameter, aud it iiad up to within a lew days a peak a miie higli, standing iu its cratei. This peak, which was only a blight spot iu the midst ol a black crater, has suddenly grown to be a giganiic mountain, nearly tilling the enure basin ot Hie crater and toweling aboye every otlitr mountain on the moon.

It is estimated now to be thrice as high as it was. and promises some startling plieuoiiicna. The moon lias been called a dead globe, but il its internal tires can give it any claims to life it is certainly a living cot pat. The sitrns of a renewal ol volcanic action, which began to be discussed a ntury ago, are bow not merely scieutilie nuts to be cracked by the astronomers, but tliey are claimed to be facts for the people.
