Perdew's. Capt, White, of the Beacon i re THE NEWS. Bl" BURNS McCONX. Saturday, May 29 1886 sponsible for the folllowtng out-burst of back allev eloquence, caused we suspect by being black balled In some one of the "damnable listr" "Every secret order, every benevo lent, so-called, combination, is bailed with the utmost satisfaction and grat ificatioii by au intelligent peeple, as a matter ot praise and thanksgiving, We stand on the street corners in the market places, and on the highest seats of the synagogue and thank what is called God. that ve are not as other men and nations.

We then get down and "gantze a mutual in surance company, charity, start benevolent home, instinc ively doing something for the protection of life and the mitigation of disease aud decay The number ot these secret organizations, these law aud order leagues, these benevolent these homes for the friendless, arc, like hos pitals, pest houses, jails aud peuiteuti- aries, but tn evidence or a uisease which blindly and empirically we aie attempting to mitigate, and we look npon these struggling efforts to save ourselves as the sigus of our potency, greatness and increasing glory. What a damnable list they make, these leagues and combinations aud organizations. Theso orders, unions and leagues represent, in fact are the very effects of a wide-spread social disintegration." Ihe telephone service furnished Belle Plaine Is very aggravating. We bavo tried sometimes for half a day to get parties in Wichita aud Welling ton without succeeding, and we arc not the ouly ones who are soaggra vated. In fact toe usual answer when asking either Wichita or Well ington to send for a man is, we have uobody to send, now." When can vou send? "Don't know." We have almost an unlimited amount of pa tience, but that limit is reached when we hear this song repeated so often.

Cal James, the manager here, does all in his power to make the service effl. cient, but be is powerless in this case, Wc repeat that the service as it is is provocative of more profanity and less good tbau if we had uoue. The old-fashioned sizzly soda wa ter is giving way to a lot of new fangled, queer named beverages, brain foods and phosphites. It has become quite the thing to call for something of the sort instead of flav oring. Bromide of potassium, bromide of chloral, bromide aud caffiue, iron and quinine, quiulne and wild cherry aud strychnine in solution, are some of the popular doses.

Thev are supposed to have a good effect upon an exhausted braiu, one of the Symp lons of which is idiocy sufficient to prompt a man to call for such stuff. Ladies ton indulge to a considerable extent, choke off a grimace over the salty mixture aud imagine their system is toned up. Horse stealing seems to be a favor ite ainuseraeut about here. On Sun day night two horses were stolen in the north part of town, one belonging to Edwin Gee aud the other to 11. Sayres, We understand that Ieury Johnson, who lives at the old Joppa post office lost a horse the same night.

If this fun is carried to much greater extent wc fear hemp raising will be iu order, aud a popular as well as profitable iudustry- Harper Graphic. Bert AlcCormick was in from Willow Sptings on Monday. He reports a com pany of Santa Fe surveyors encamped near his bouse, and he learned from the engineer in charge that a new preliminary urvey is to be made running southeast erly through the Oklahoma country, and crossing the Canadian about 14 mile from Fort Reno. The route alread surveyed, understands, presents too serious en gineering difficulties to be adopted with out an effort beine made 10 find a more practicable route. Arkansas City Travel er.

A. R. Downs believes in assisting merit and rewarding industry. He offered man who said he was out of work and couldn't get any, a job of wheeling a wheel barrow Wednesday. Drl thought this was a good joke, but the fellow took him up and the joke was apparently on Downs.

The fellow kept it up all day, making regular trips up and down the street perfectly oblivious of the smiling countenances of the spectators. He earned bis money and, we suppose, got it. From an Indian Territory special it is learned that a general expulsion of intruders or "boomers' upon the Cherokee strip has been begun. The work of removal is in charge of Capt- rice, fifth United States cavalry. The boomers number several thousand.

Many of them bad built houses and made other improvements. Monitor. On Tuesday ntght the Odd Fellows elected the following officers tor the semi-annual term commemdug July Kola Fisher. N. S.

O. Uaythora la visiting friends In Wichita. Rola Fisher took in Wichita Tbnrs- The Belle Plaine Land have loaned over $50,000 around Belle Plaine in the last three months They have $200,000 more to loan the lowest rate to be obtained in the State of Kansas. Next Sabbath (to-morrow) at 11 o'clock a. iu, childrens day service will be held at the Methodist church, The General Conference recommends.

where practicable, that the day be ob served on the second Sunday in June, But it was thought by that time the flowers would be all gone, 'lite church will be appropriately deco rated with flowers aud singing birds. The exercises will consists of sinsrinir, at 1 nna Mattnliaiva n.tinna the school. The amount raised last year by the whole church tor the Children's Educational Fund was There was returned from loaus $1,622.20, making tor the year $33,852.70. This money is to be used a a Ix)an fund to assist poor youug men and women in procuring and educa tion, preference being given Sunday school scholars. Since 1873, the date when tne first loan was made, more than 400 different students have been helped.

Many have become teachers, forty have gone as missionaries to for eign lands, and more than 200 have become miulstera in over 60 annual conferences. A train load of stock was shipped from Belle Piaiue Tuesday morning, consisting of two loads of hogs aud eighteen of stock. The train was made up by John Gilchrist. Wo have made mention several times of the fine cattle shipped, but we believe that 187 head of these cattle, which were led by A. G.

Forney, have never been beat arouud Belle Plaluo. The 187 head average 1247 pounds, were clean and smooth, and showed every evidence of good care. Foruey Bros, have certainly made some good mou ey this yearou their cattle. u. u.

oaie returned last ereuiug from an investigation of the eastern wool markets. He says the prospect is not encouraging to wool raisers or wool dealers. Fine wools will be lower than last year, raugiugdown to 12 aud 14 cents, while medium and coarse wools will bring about the same as last year, 14 aud 16 cents. The immense importation of wool from Australia are killiug the Amer-icau market for flue wools. Wiufield Courier.

Next Monday will again witness the performsnco of the beautiful cus tom of decorating the graves of those who fell in the late war. While it can have no effect upon the dead, It is a token that their services are remem bered aud appreciated. They gave the highest sacrifice that a man can ofler life itself and it is fitting that their name should be bonered aud their memories kept green. Col. Hall's 2-Ring Circus, Museum, and Menagerie are billed for Belle Plaine a week from to-day.

They have showed three days in Wichita to immense crowds. They have the smallest elephant in the world, the only camel ever boru in the United States aud many new and costly curiosities. Remember Saturday June 5. Do not forget Hall's immense nail-road two ring show. They will gi ve two performances here June 5.

Their cutertaiumeut will be pure and clean and first class iu every respect. This show is no oil-shoot from some other show, but is entire aud never divided. They have given satisfaction every where. One hundred teams to work on the D. M.

A. arrived in this couuty last Sunday and are now being stationed along the line of this road preparing to go to work. We understand that the) will be followed in a few days by about 600 more team. Aud the D. M.

In Wichita they offer the electors inducements to get them to come out and register. The Beacon auuounces that abuudance of cigars have been provided at the city clerk's office tor all who will call and be enrolled. It is hard for some people to realize It, but it is a fact that there is now in Chautauqua couuty two grading outfits, comprising 100 teams, ready to commence work on the D. M. A.
