Wfaeldon Irwin say that they were quite busy when Mr. Irons went to the case and took the dose and did not notice him. As the bottles containing the buchu and belladona are almost identical in size and shape, and as it was not very light in the rear of the store owing to cloudy weather, it is easy to see how one not acquainted with the arrangement of the bottles could mistake one for another.

Mr. Irons is to be congratulated that bis experience did not cost him more dearly. It is safe to say that he will never again place himself in a position to make a similar mistake. CIiAiTKn hnnrU -nlt from two causes. Too much alkali in whk-h natural oil fioin the skin, leaving it haish, tirv.

After the usual lunch of sweetmeats was served the party wished each ona a happy New Year and departed for their respective abiding places. A number of our society people attended a party at Jtlley New Years night as tbe guests of Mr. and Mrs.

Last Monday Jc hn Badger left for California and the country north thereof with the idea of possibly rinding a new location and then sending for hi family and chaugtngbis residence. The Times wishes to see him and his prosper here or elsewhere, but dislikes the idea of the move. Walter Puckey has severed his connection with M. E.

Mumford A and has accepted a position with J. W. Ham. Walter has had several years experience in the mercantile business in Clay Center, and has many friends who will be pleased to meet him again behind the counter. One by one the old-time (raveling men who pioneered it in this part of the Hate are dropping out and going up higher in the caie of mercantile life.

This time it is George Evaa, who quits the road to become manager and buyer for tbe Kansas City Hardware one of the best and largest establishments in the west. He commenced to travel in tbese parts some fourteen or fifteen years ago, and with each year has added au ac-qaintanee here and a friend there until there are a whole multitude of people of both sexes who will mourn his departure. But then, he is competent and energetic and affable, so in this elevation he has no one to thank but himself, while friends should rejoice, and will, probably. Excuse these tears. f'rr More inan SatlaHod.

A long and interesting letter from Charlie Farr, who now lives in Pasadena, Cab, would indicate with emphasis that be is pleased at least with the climate of that far-away country. Here is an extract Just tbiak of ripe watermelons and strawberries this time of the year, and the school-children going to school barefooted and wearing straw hats; the ladies carrying their fans and parasols to church; the air fragrant with the odor of orange blossoms, and a thousand other varieties of flowers; the atmosphere musical with tne merry song birds; the honeybees, crickets and butterflies enjoying the warm sunshine. I say when you think of all this I am sure you will agree with me that this climate must be seen and lived In in order to be fully enjoyed. 1 often think of Clay Center and old friends. In a paper which he sends was enclosed a bunch of orange blossoms that, as we write, are perfuming the whole region around about with a most delicious suggestion of sunshine and fishing-poles and marbles and base-ball, etc.

A verv enjoyable time was bad by all who attended the dance at the hall New Year's night, tuite a number of young folks came up from Milford. i he party broke up in time to go home by daylight The habit of shooting those of our small birds which see tit to remain with us all winter by oar amateur sportsmen, is get ting to be a little too common in this vi cinitv. I here is a law to protect our birds which should be enforced, and it is the duty of every one of the farmers and otber3 to see that it 1.

We have been talking with some of the neighboring farmers in regard to this matter, also to prohibit the shooting of any kind of game whatever on their respective premises and to prosecute for trespass any person found with a gun on them without special permission. A reward will be offered for any information that shall lead to their arrest and conviction. This is as it should be. and we hope that it will become general throughout the county. The quail, the farmer's best friend, is very scarce this winter aud very few aie left for breeding purposes.

Koine sportsmen are getting so cheeky that they will enter a man's door yard for the purpose of shooting tbe quail be has reserved for that purpoe. We are sorry to say that after a few words Tuesday we aud our wife parted. In our case, though, we can safelv say that marriage was not a failure, having proved it to our satisfaction. How long this separation will last we know not, and sincerely hope the weather will continue warm during her absence, as we should bate to wake up some morning with the thermometer 20 below z'-ro and find ouiself frozen to death. Having lived bigh during the holidays we think perhaps we can subsist on corn meal mush and pancakes till she returns.

Mr. Higinbotbam has always been a liberal citizen and it is to be hoped that he can get on his feet and resume business at an early date.

I Seme Pofnia About tbe Proposed Kall-roMl From Minneapolis to the Ualf of California. Friday evening on very short notice about thirty busini ss men assembled in the council chamber to bear Hon. C. B. Hoffman tell the story of his railroad and the mighty things to be.

It was a very interesting talk and the scheme is as big as all out doors, contemplating a road from Minneapolis, Minn to Topolobam-po Mexico on the Oulf of California. Mr. Hoffman is enthusiastic and there is not a shadow of doubt in bis mind but that the road will be built, and that too right speedily. The Timks solicited him to write out his views of project and its probabilities for publication, which he kindly did and we present the same to our readers as follows: To the Editors of Th Ti At your request and for the information of the people of Central Kansas I respectfully submit the fi-Howing as a scout outline of the proposed railroad from the Pacific to the interior of our continent or to some point on the Gulf of Mexico or tbe Atlantic ocean. The project to build a trans continental line from the west corner of Mexico to some deep water harbor on the Atlantic, or to the great lakes is not.

by auy means, a new one. An elaborate history of surveys and explorations from tbe Mississippi to tbe coast of Mexico can be found in the twelve quarter volumes on Pacific railroad surveys prepared by the war department under authority of the act of March 1, In volume odc. in the letter of the secretary of war, transmitting this report to congress, is a concise review of the merits of the proposed route, in which be emphatically states tbe superiority of the route along the I'lind parallel of latitude or further south to some point about miles south of the S. boundary on the Pacific. However, ben the tirst Pacific road was subsidized by congress in the country was iu the throes of a civil war which made the building of a Southern Pacific road an impossibi ify.

In 1872 Albert K. Owen, a civil engineer connected with (ieifl Wm. Palmers and V. S. Rosenerau's railway reonnoissance had his attention called to Topoloba in po as a harbor.

It ns found that it was superior to any harbor on the western coast of North America, south of San Deigo and equal to any harbor on tbe coast. This is especially significant win-n it is remembered that the western coast is very deficient in good harbors. Returning to the I'. S. Col.

Owen submitted report to Pre-ident Grant, who, ith bis characteristic fore-Sight, saw the great advantages of such harbor in connection with a trans continental railroad, had introduced in congress a bill providing a railroad survey and subsidy from som point on the Atlantic to Topolobampo. The House and Senate committee on Pacific railroads of the forty-fourth and forty-fifth congress reported unanimously in favor of the bill, having previously been favorably passed upon by a special committee of U. S. engineers ap pointed by tbeUopartm tit of war. However, like many bills, upon a crowded calendar, which have the enmity of strong rival it failed to receive final action.

These matters are here briefly recited in order to authoritatively settle the question of feasibility aud practicability of this proposed line. In March. ISM, the Texas, Topolobampo and Pacific railway Co. was chartered under tbe laws of Massachusetts. The same 3'ear the Mexican government granted to said railway company alua-ble franchises and concessions in Mexico.

Pending the adjustment of financial matters between England and Mexico which had arisen on account of a large amount of Maxamillion bonds held by English capitalists, it was deemed best by said railway companv to defer the construction of their lines to the present time. Now the rail way company is ready to build. They will run either 10 Galveston or St. Louis via Fort Worth or to Minneapolis. via Kansas City, or to Minneapolis, via Central Kansas.

The company submits a business proposition to business men in Central Kansas, which if accepted assures the building of the road through Centra! Kansas. The present officers of the company are all men of known ability, influence and wealth. Hon. Win. Windom is president, Wm.

K. Rogers, formerly private secretary of President Haves, is the secretary, and Hon. -1. II. Rice, of Maine, is its treasurer.

Immediate action is. however, neces sary as the time is limited in which de finite arrangements must be made. ne thing la certain, that the building of a direct line from the rich mines of silver, gold, coal, iron and copper of Simoloa and Chihuahua and from a great harbor of tbe Paeirie. to the plain of Kansas will be of vast direct and indirect benefit to our people.

It says George Irons, manager at this point for the Chicago Lumber company, had a narrow escape from death last Sunday, due to his own carelessness. For some time he has been suffering with kidney complaint and has been taking buchu and dandelion. Occasionally he would secure dose at Wheldon Irwin's drug store, taking it on the spot. On Sunday, shortly before noon, he went into the drug store to get a dose of the medicine. Both pro- prietors were busy, and Mr.

Irons weut i to the prescription case and prepared for I himself a dose of what he believed was his regular medicine, but by mistake got hold of a bottle of belledona. of which be got a liberal potion. He then sat down and talkea lor some time, nnany going home, where he read some time, and was i finally taken sick and fell just as he had gone into the yard. His young son, who with two younger sisters, was at home, ran at once for aid. i Dr.

On their arrival in the harbor, Hear Admiral S. B. Luce transferred bis flag to the Yantic, which has a draft of but four-teen feet. The Yantic was then run slow ly into the inner harbor, to within a hundred feet of the doeks, where the Haytien Republic was at anchor. Anchor was dropped and a stern line was at once attached to the Haytien Republic, the guns of the Yantic being trained on the city.

The Galena remained in the outer harbor with a broadside and pivot gun trained on the Haytieu mau of war Dessalines and prepared to fire at the first hostile demonstration. The Dessalines L'fW lno stood at their Ku'1! until tuo result of the interview of Lieutenant Griffin with Legitime was made known. The cutter with Lieutenant Griflin went ashore shortly after nine o'clock with communications from the State Department and Admiral Luce demanding the release within four hours of the detained steamer and the withdrawal of her guard. Legitime finding that no delay would be tolerated, under formal protest and appeal for fu'ure arbitration commanded 3116 of his gun boats to tow tbe Haytien Republic to the position in tbe outer harbor occupied when captured and to have such slight damage as has been done to her repaired by his mechanics. Nigbt fell before her cable could be severed, as her anchor chains had been badly fouled.

The formal return was not made until tbe next day. The moral effect of this prompt action of Admiral Luce has been most salutary on the Haytien people. The influence of the French Government through their min ister at Port au Prince is very strong with the Legitime Government and it is said that tbe Haytien Republic would not have been released bad a French man-of-war been in the harbor. It is also claimed that the French Government's influence has been hacking Legitime since his return from exile. The German Government is generally understood to he back of the Hyppolyte faction in tbe North.

The release was most opportune from tbe acknowledged fact that Legitmie had contracted to sell the Haytien Republic to tbe Atlas line, in fact was about to turn her over to a crew which had arrived that morning from Jamaica.

I shall anticipate from this pastorate great prosperity for the First Baptist church of Clay Center. Permit me also to" say through your columns, to my friends, that I have entered upon a renewal of my school days with an old-time relish, even to the recreations of tbe play ground. I find my studies at tbe seminary in Chicago most pleasant and profitable. With best wishes for alb most sincerely yours. S.
