Uncle Jim Jessee, of Olivet township, is reported to be very sick, but his physician says he will pull through. His trouble is a complication of disease contracted in the army, and is therefore stubborn. But during his Illness he heard from "Uncle Sam," who had ordered his name placed on the pension roll for $12 a month for the remainder of his life, Uncle Jim believes in his country with or without a pension, has no quarter to show its traducers, and is one of the most pa triotic citizens we ever knew. We hope he will soon be able to be around again and that his affliction will be at least re duced to usual and normal conditions.

Melvern has the distinction of having the oldest citizen in the oounty, so far as we can learn, in the person of Mrs. Erne line van Sicklen, mother of Mrs. A. Curchin. She is over ninety years of age, and notwithstanding her exceeding old age, has enjoyed very good health until just recently.

We were out at VaBsar, the first station east of this city on the Missouri Pacific recently, where we found a much greater business point than we expected.

Mr Thos. Neill, the dealer in general merch andise, has a splendid trade, and the vil lage blacksmith and jolly mayor of the city, Mr. Hecker, lsdoing a good and profitable business. Tom is kicking for sidewalks, the mayor stoutly vetoes all ordinances for public improvements, fines Tom every day for contempt and puts him in the city prison until the costs and fines are remitted. Between Tom and the mayor there is a continual but friendly fight over local and city politics, and when the mayor seems to be getting the worst of it, all he has to do is to issue Circular to the Farmers Alliance and they come in and help him out vote Tom on any of the important questions before the people, and then Tom sets up the cigars and promises to quit local politics.

The Peg Leg Railway. One of the oddest railroads ever con structed anywhere on the tace of this planet was a little four-mile line that flourished like a green bay tree for two years in the heart of northern oildom, and i then ended its career with a horrible catastrophe. It was literally a road on stilts, practically it had but one rail, and passengers got aboard from the second stories of stations. It rejoiced in the euphonious pet name of "The Peg Leg," term that was peculiarly appropriate, and which was bestowed on it by the quick-witted oil men who were its chief patrons. There are a number in this sec tion who will recall It.

Its real and baptismal name was the Bradford and Foster Brook, and its terminal were Brad ford and Derrick City. It was put in operation in October, 1877. Traveling Auditor Campbell, of the Pittsburg and Western, who was located In the northern regions, gave a Post reporter interest, details in regard to its construction operation. As stated, there was but one main rail was an iron one, although there wo auxiliary wooden ones. This rail rested on strong wooden beams, which were supported by massive stanchions, strongly braced.

About 2 feet below the beam were two wooden rails about 8 inches in width, which were securely nailed to the supporting stanchions These wooden rails were chiefly for balancing purposes. The height of this oddity among railroads varied, being sometimes 25 feet and sometimes less than half that elevation, according to the "lay" of the ground in the pleasant little valley of Foster Brook, through which it There was method in the apparent madness of this construction, however, for without this elevation the original and peculiar scheme of the inventor would have been possible. The cars fitted to the rail like saddlebags, hanging down on each side, and were really two-story cars, the upper portion being for passengers and the big, wooden saddle bags for the storage of freight. The stilted rails and the peculiarly constructed cars, which seemed to slide along as if on groove, presented a sufficiently grotesque sight, but the strange appearance of a train was Increased and intensified by the that practically two engines, or a species of Siamese twins, headed the procession, one being on each side of the the two balancing like the divided When the fireman "stoked up" he to descend to the tenders by ladders. engines and the cars ran on a series central wheels, and as they protruded through the center of the floors arrangements were made by which they did not inconvenience passengers.

The cars were narrow, the main rail broad, and whenever car tilted there were side wheels which caught on to the wooden rails, and aided in preserving the equilibrium the trains. Pittsburg Post. over five feet Ions, to the state board of tgriculture Wednesday. Mrs E. Filley and two children, Lela and Emla, are visiting in Newton this week, the guestof Mr.

In a trip through Sumner, Harper and Sedgewick counties we found the Kansas crop prospects that some of our exchanges have been telline US about, and we thought were badly mixed with thegentl" zephyrs for which Kansas is noted, but we'll take it all back. Wheat field after wheat field with the wheat mostly in the stack, some threshing is being done out of the shock and the wheat shells out from fifreen to forty bushels per acre, gener ally around twenty five bushels. Oats is a big crop but grew so rank that in many cases they were badly lodged and hard to harvest. Corn down there is at least two weeks earlier than ours and is simply im mense. and would do the souls of our Osage county cattle feeders good to see It.

Great big fields of corn in every direction, stand good, with from one to three big, fat ears of corn on every stalk. Seventy five bushels per acre is a mild estimate for many of the fields along the Arkansas and Ne Ne Scah valleys. Go to the World's Fair. C. M.
