The burming of the City Hotel suggests to the incoming council the yearly water works question. It is a traditional custom in Tonganoxie to put the fires all out that may occur in the coming year, during tbe first month or two of the proceedings of each new council.

So far as can be ascertained he is the original of this artifice. Mr. Duley takes greatjpride in spending infinite pains to make his surroundings the most tasty, neat and inviting of any in the Valley. When we saw Mr. Duly sauntering through his farm with a Havanna between his lips, we could see the unmistakable signs of happiness complete and supreme, but after a diligent search through our vocabulary we are prone to believe that he still lacks one item.

Burton's was a complete non-hatcher. Mrs. Brooks has nine chickens as the work of two incubators, and one of the chickens is a cripple. It is supposed that the incubator stepped on it, Monte Timmons was most successful, getting 160 chickens out of 200 eggs incubated. Mrs.

Brooks' machines were set in a damp cellar, which may have had much to do with the failure, and A. C. Burton's was not provided with proper ventilation. We will say for the benefit of our republican friends who "are clutching at Ameri can tin like a drowning man at a straw," that we have examined the American tin guttering on the barn of Mrs. E.

P. Harris, and it seems to answer the purpose. And, further more, it was procured from the first shipment of American tin made to Topeka. And, furthermore, the firm that handles it is about equal to the best imported in quality and in price, under the McKinley tariff. If American tin is a prac tical reality as this seems to be, then the great American turtle can withdraw so much farther within his shell, which in common with turtles in general, the further in it gets the less progress it makes.

The roads -were rendered impassable and farming operations have been set back about ten days by it, to say nothing of the dreary and generally bedraggled appearance of verything our of doors. Thomas Hogg and Stephen Hennessey bitterly disclaim any belief, on their part, in the alleged heresy "That Marriage is a Failure."

If yC'U think not we are willing that your name shall be placed on the pension list. A young man residing in the Valley, with great Oklahoma aspirations, accidentally produced much fruition to a number of bystanders in Lawrence, Saturday. It seems the fellow had in his care a box of guineas to be delivered to a young lady, "also a Valley resident." His custom has been for some time to put his best foot forward when making formal calls there.

He said first it snew, then blew, then it thew, then it firiz; we think it did all of them last week.
