The Independence Reporter says that Cherryvale: has a girl whose mouth is so large that she has to go out of the house to gape. Let them down easy, Sedan Jeurnal. That is one of Ralph's jokes. The milk in the cocoa nut is the fact that the Reporter hasn't a very large circulation in Cherryvale.

Dr. F. M. Thornton has located in Radical City, this county. Dr.

Thornton is a pleasaut gentleman and a skillful physician. When any of the citizens of Sycamore township have a case of limbs broken, or stomach ache, or a baby to be born, they will find the Doctor the right man to do the right thing to be done right at the right time. The Clyde Herald says: A very simple, and, we are told, very effective way of getting rid of borers in peach trees, is to sow tansy around the foot of each tree. It will cost very little or nothing to do that, and will keep the borers out, sure. We don't believe it, but it isn't a very expensive experiment to try.

We last week received a well-written interesting letter from Louisburg township, but too late for insertion in that week's paper. Much of it would be old for this week, so we leave it out. We thank our fair correspondent for her intended kindness, and hope she will write again. Matter for insertion should not reach us later than Monday evening to insure insertion: There will be a soldiers' pienie in the grove on my farm on Thursday, July 27; at which time will taken into consideration what is best to be done in regard to soldiers' reunion to be held during the coming County Fair.

KRONE, Vice President. Uncle Jo. Hardin, of Sycamore, was in town Friday looking as full of business as when he makes the best sorghum molasses in the county. We asked uncle Jo. about his crops.

He replied that they are fine. Then we asked him if they didn't begin to need rain up in Sycamore. "No," he replied, "excepting for the fellows that scratched." There is a world of wisdom to the Kansas farmer in that last remark of uncle Jo's. Geo. Chandler, of Independence, plucked the proud bird of libery, at this place on the Fourth, in a very artistic -Sedan Times.

Chandler.

Dr. D. Dunn has accepted an appointment as physician and surgeon to the Nez Perc Indians at their Agency in the Indian Territory. Dr. Dunn is an intelligent, cultured gentleman, and an accomplished physician and surgeon.

The Doctor has been an active member of the Montgomery County Medical Society from its first organization, ing as its president for one term. He has had the positions of city and county physician here, and has had a large private practice. He and his estimable wife will be found a valuable addition to the little circle at Oakland Agency. S. V.

Matthews is another gentleman who is willing, if not anxious, to sacrafice himself for the welfare of the dear people in the office of District Clerk. Val. has "growed up" here, and is a very nice, respectable young fellow. It is true, he isn't married, an objection often urged by cautions tax payers, but we are satisfied that matter could be satisfactorily arranged at an early date. Val.

has the necessary qualifications to make a good officer; and if he can beat Ergenbright, the brave, and the sly fox, Harry Dodd, in the Republican convention, and then beat our candidate before the people, we shall have no fears that the duties of the Clerk's office will not be properly administered for the next two years. Abe Steinberger, of the Winfield Courant, and Sam. J. Goman, who has for some years past represented a fancy grocery and fruit house at Louis, have consummated plans for the establishment of a weekly paper at Kansas City to be known by the suggestive name of the "Grip" the first number of which will make its appearance on the 1st of wealth. and Goman would make such a paper hum from the start.

We understand that the Courant has been purchased by Mr. Leftwich; of Larnard, and that the name will be changed to the Telegram and run as a Democratic paper.fiell Courier.Yes, they'd make such a paper hum, or any other paper, if Steinberger's seissors grip didn't give out.

Messrs. Pitcher Porter, of Caney, have sold to the Independence Woolen Mill $1.100 worth of wool, this season's clip from 950 Missouri sheep, at an investment of $2,000. Besides the 100 worth of wool, they have 450 splendid grade Merino lambs. Their loss last year was but 15 out of 950 head. Mr.

Pitcher is a school teacher, while Dir. Porter gives attention to the sheep. They are pleased with their investment, and well they may be, as the lambs will be well worth nine hundred dollars by Oe tober. Tribune. We owe an apology to the patrons of the KANSAN, both readers and advertisers, for the multitudinous blunders, and the generally dilapidated appearance of the paper last week.

Gehrig's bakery was an attachment to Buffington's blacksmithshop, and Tom. Ford's card looked like a one-eared dog waiting for a bone; the typographical errors spoiled the effeet of some of the best things we said, and the press work was villainous. We are grateful to the fathers that they let the Nation be born on only one day in a year. If there is reasonable doubt a regarding the legal qualifications of the police force of this city, it is the duty of the city government to remove that doubt at once. It is intimated that the hesitation of officers in quelling a disturbance, spoken of in our last issue, arose from doubt in their minds that they were perly qualified officials.

If this is true, it is the duty of the city government to look after the matter at once; and if the proper remody is not applied without delay, it places Independence in no enviable light; for the good order and safety of the city are practically given over to the mercy of the evil-disposed. The Institute opened last Wednesday with a good attendance. Unforunately, Prof. Fitzpatrick, after opening the Normal, was obliged to leave for a few days; but Profs. Conway and Cook illustrated their efficiency in an emergency by successfully conducting Prof.

F's classes, as well as their own. Providence smiled on the teachers by giving them cool weather, and the smiling countenance of the Co. was with them during the entire week. All anticipate a pleasant and profitable term. Especially interesting are the lectures in Mental Philosophy giyen by Prof.

Cook. In looking over the faces in the Normal we see but few that were present three years ago and a still less number who registered six years ago Why is this Have they all left the profession, or have they left this county for greener pastures Will some one please answer. We noticed a farmer lead a pale bay mule up to father Roberts' blacksmith shop Friday morning, and walk in--that is, the farmer did, but the mule stopped about three feet in front of the door; where he stood quietly wagging his big ears and banging flies with his stump tail as innocently as if the farmer wasn't tugging with might and main at the halter, attempting to drag his muleship into the shop. The Farmer pulled with his face to the mule, and put the halter rope over his shoulder and pulled with his back to him, but the mule unconcernedly continued to oscillate ears and tail, remaining as immovable as if his legs were jointless pegs and driven the ground. Presently uncle Roberts came out, and at a word, the mule walked in as if he had been always used to it.

When Solomon spoke of the uncertainty of the ways of some things he hadn't learned the ways of a mule need fruit in their animal "Boys ecor.omy, just as a calf needs grass; and if parents fail to supply their boys with fruit, the boys are going to steal 28th. "You might as well say that when boys need clothing or money, they would be justified in stealing from the merchants shelves or till. Teach boys not to steal peaches or water melons, and they will not take articles of greater Tribune. We stand by what we said. The growing boy needs fruit; and if his parents fail to supply him with it, he will steal or beg it.

We said in our article, from which the Tribune quotes, "Boys do not steal peaches from love of wrong doing, but from love of peaches." Your teaching will not meet the case. You may teach the boy to be a canting hypocrite, and deprive him of fruit at the same time; but it takes peaches and teaching together to make a healthy, honest boy. Boys are made of flesh and blood, and you can't make angels out of them without killing them. So it is just as well to recognize a boy as a boy, and expect nothing more of him than just what his bey nature is equal to. Deprive your boy of fruit and neat clothing, him him to go to Sunday school and say prayers, and the chances are ten to one that he grows up a contemptible canting hopocrite and thief.

Give him good, comfortable clothing, furnish him with plenty of good, healthful food with plenty of good, ripe fruit, and the good teaching you give him will have proper effect; and he will grow to be a man healthy and vigorous alike i in body and mind. Our worthy fellow citizen, E. N. of Plank, is a candidate for County Superintendent; subject to the decision of the Republican county convention. Mr.

Plank is a gentleman and a scholar in every sense of the word; and not only that, but he is an original thinker, has fine literary culture, and as an investigator in some departments of the natural sciences, holds good rank with the first men of the State. The one drawback to Mr. Plank's: success as a candidate is the fact that he is not described in the word synonym for about everything that is vile and corrupt in politics. Mr. Plank is not a worker.

The coming fair of the Montgomery County Agricultural Society can be made the best exhibition of the kind ever held in Southern Kansas.

The county has never had so much fine stock as now, aud the crops of grain and fruits and vegetables were never better. We shall expect to see an exhibit of horses that would be a credit to any of the older counties of Illinois; and the same may be said of swine. We have a few herds of Short-horn cattle, among which are animals of the purest royal blood, and of great excellence as individuals. But our people have not yet thought best- and wisely, we think--to put any of their cattle in what is generally termed "show condition." To good judges of cattle. this will make little difference; to the populace, it makes all the difference in the world.

A majority of the people will stand in open-mouthed wonder at the sight of a coarse, ungainly, overfed brute, while a really fine animal, thin in flesh, will be passed with scarcely a glance; and to gratify this open-mouthed wondering of the ignorant, a great many valuable animals have been spoiled for use for breeding purposes. We hope our farmers will never adopt the plan of overfeeding the cattle they bring to our fairs. Of sheep, there are some very good flocks of Merinos and Cotswolds; and we shall expect the shepherds to make a good show. The growers of fruits and grains and vegetables are always on hand with a splendid show, and they will not fail this year. JOHN BOYD, on July 2d, 1882, at Fondulac, Wisconsin, aged 58 years.

Funeral on the 3rd inst. Bishop Brown of that city, officiating. Hon. John Boyd was born in England, May 1st, 1824. Graduated at Trinity College, Dublin in 1843 and came to America in 1844.

He was elected to the Wisconsin Legislature in 1855, 1860, 1862, and 1869, and to the State Senate in 1870. He was also Chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Fondulac county, Wisconsin for many years and was once nominated by the Democratic party for Governor of Wisconsin but refused to accep. In politics he was a war Democrat. In 1871 he removed to Montgomery county, Kansas, and engaged in farming. In 1873 he was elected to the Kansas Legislature by two majority and occupied his seat one half of the session during which time he was chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means.

Upon a contest he lost his seat by one vote, being opposed by his fellow democrat Tom. Fenlon, because he refused to flatter the vanity of that gentleman by acceding to his request through a friend for a complimentary vote for United State Senator. To his honor Mr. Boyd returned the answer "I am not here for the purpose of giving compliments." John Martin who was zealously guarding the interest of the railroads also opposed Mr. Boyd because of the bill introduced by him and passed abolishing the Board of Railroad Assessors, and requiring railroad property to be assessed in the same manner as other property.

At the same session Mr. Boyd's name was frequently mentioned among the reformers for United States Senator. In 1873 he was elected lecturer of the State Grange and in 1875 was elected it treasurer. On several cecasions he presided over his State and District party conventions being one of the most accomplished presiding affairs. About three years ago his health began to decline, which was partially restored by a year spent in Wisconsin.

Two months since he began to fail rapidly until the only hope left was that an immediate removal north might restore him. On June 20th in charge of loving hands this last resource was tried by taking the cars for his old home in Wisconsin. It was a desperate effort which he survived but ten days. In his public relations Mr. Boyd always inspired the fullest confidence a as being able, faithful and above suspicion or reproach.

As a scholar bred in the finest foreign schools probably he had no superior in the west, and in his private relations he ever exhibited those I genial and sterling qualities which attracted to him a host of admirers.
