Sad News. On lat Monday morn

ceived the sad intelligence of the death
of Mrs Dickenson's beloved mother,
while visiting in Riilgeville, Illinois.
The news wus all the more distressing
to Mrs Dickcrson from the fact that
she was not even cognizant of her
mother's illness until she received
news on Monday which apprised her
of her demise. This is the second
time that the death messenger has
called a loved one from earth to the
abode above, from among her relatives
within a few weeks, her father having
departed this life recently. Certainly
her cup of sorrow is overflowing and
in her sad bereavement 3Irs Dicker
son has the sympathy and consolation
ofthe entire communitv of Red Cloud.
A ev Dkv Gc;ols HorsE. Thk.
C'iief has the pleasure of nnnouncini'
this week to its thousands of readers
that Mr. Geo. A. Ducker, a prominent
dry goods dealer of Joliet, 111., and a
nephew of our friend Wm. Ducker,
has decided to cast his lot vith those
of our people, and open up a largo and
complete dry goods store in the mom
now occupied by C. Wiener. Mr.
Ducker informed us that he would
have the stock ready for customers
about September 1, or as soon there
after as Mr Wiener gets into his new
building. Thk Chief wishes Mr
Ducker success and prosperity, both of
whish ho will certainly receive from
our people. Ve take-pleasure in wel
coming him to our city as a gentleman
in every way worthy, and competent
to run a first cliss store, and gives us
an enterprise that will be appreciated
A New Railroad. By reference to
an extract from the Dodge City (Kan.)
Zirc Slock Journal, it will be observed
that the people of that vicinity, and
the promoters of the proposed Chica
go, Nebraska, Kansas & Southwestern
railway arc in dead earnest in relation
to building the road. The stretch of
country between Red Cloud, its north
ern terminus, to Texas, 550 miles, is
very rich and productive, and would
therefore guarantee the investment,
Once built the road would to our no
tion, be of incalcuable benefit to Kcd
Cloud, giving it a direct out lot to the
immense cattle ranges in Kansas, and
to the great south-west. It is certainly
a feasible plan and a road that would
be easily built, and would be a decisive
boom for Red Cloud. The people of
Red Cloud should take this matter in
hand at once and assist in procuring
its construction. With that road, the
B & M, and the proposed U P routes.
Red Cloud will receive a boom that
will make her a great city. Let some
effort be made at once to get the mat
ter in tangible shape, and see what is
behind the project- Do not let this
enterprise slip between our fingers for
want of action on our part.
The concert in the Baptist church

harmoniously sweet. Concert exercises

THE RAILROAD BOOH.
Oltizons Mooting to Consider New
Railroad iinos for Dods City.
During the past wek onr people
were moro or le-- enthused over a new
railroad enterprise which wa present
ed to them by the officers ofthe Chica
go. Nebraska, Kansas 6c Southwestern
railroad company, who were here on
the giound and who came to get on
cxpresiou from our people on the line
proposed. Among the distinguished
parly were Judge John M. Galloway,
attorney and solicitor; G. B. Finney,
chief engineer, both of Fort Scott,
Kansas; J. C. Gilham vice-president,
and A. L. Stone, director, of Kureka,
Kansas. Tneee gentlemen were in the
city the greater portion of last week,
and having made their luiue. known
a public meeting was called for Satur
day evening at Cary's opera house,
where quite a number of our most
enterprising business men assembled
and organized the meeting by calling
Col 4 S. S. I'routy to the elixir, anil
naming I). M. Frost as Secretary. The
chair briefly stated the object of the
meeting, and as there was m gentleman
present who could more fully explain,
Judge Galloway was culled for. and in
a speech of over an hour very fully set
forth and explained tho object ami
purpose ofthe new rairoad enterprise.
The substance of Mr. Galloway's re
marks were:
First. 1 hat the main object of tho
new undertaking was to cuuuect by a
ttirotign and pulepeutleut line of road
tho great railway fc stems of Nebraska
with those systems of railway in Tex
as which are already pointing their
lines a:d extending them m a noilh
and north-westerly direction towards
the Panhandle.
'Ibis company proposes to construct
a line of railroad irom a point m Ne
braska ou the Republican river, at Bed
Cloud, in Webster county, in a gener
ally south-westerly direction through
Western Kansas, crosiing the Arkan
sas river at Dodge City and thence in
a southerly direction to the south line
ofthe state to a point west ofthe 100th
meridian; thence across the Neutral
Strip, a distance of about 35 time.-;
thence into and through too Texas
Panhandle, makinc its southern con
nection with the already established
Texas railway systems. The estimat
ed length of this line is approximately
5U0 to 550 miles. Once ttiat this line
is constructed it will afford in con
nection with the Nebraska and Iowa
roads an independent and valuable
competing line of road for all western
Kansas, western and southern Texas,
cesium New Jexico and western In
dian Territory, directly to tho Chicago
markets.
Such a lino would command the
great cattle tradeof Texas, which seeks
the northern grazing grounds and at
the same time traverse in western
Kansas as fine an agricultural couutrv
as lies west oi tne .Mississippi river.
Mr. Galloway said that he be'ieved
that all that was necessary to induce
capitalists to invest their money in this
enterprise, so as to insure its constrcu
tion, was to show them tho cer
tain and3woudcrful resources of the
country to be traversed by this line!
the advantages of its northern and
southern connections; tho entire prac
ticability of building atieh a lino, with
easy grade and at moderate cost for
construction, and such a degree of con
fidence upon tne pari of the people
Wtio live upon the lino that it would
succeed, as would be manifested by a
willingness to take upr.n thcim-clves
some part of the risk and cost of the
preliminary work.
.Mr. Galloway said that railroad
building now was not a matter of sent
iment, that he was nat here on a mis
sion of philanthropy, but as a repre
sentative of capable railroad business
men ot Kansas to present a clean, cold
cut business proposition to the busi
ness men of this city, invitim: them to
its fair consideration upon its merits,
and if tiiey thought well of it to join
hands win the gentlemen of this or
ganization and aid m accomplishing
through united eflorts final success,
from whi It if achieved, all would reap
substantial material benefit.-.
Dodge City in made the headquarters
and principal place of business of the
company, and when the road is com
pleted, with its general offices here.
Dodge City will occupy the same favor
able position to thi? road "that Tcpeka
does to the Santa Fc. .
After the Judge had completnd hia
remarks others were called upon to

an absence of a few days I acctted on
of our citizens about the happtninx
since I had been gone aad. how about
the bridge ?
Oh that's all settled.
That's cood I How did it happen ?
Oh an inieliec:uaiMue wau import
ed who successfully led our people
out of the wilderness, in the promfae
land.
"Moso was he from Egypt !"
" So, he was from Ohio."
'What did ho do?"
"He struck straight from the shoul
der. He invited all who did not agree
with him to leave town, and boldly
told them their room was wanted worae
than their company,"
"Wasn't that checkv for a new cora-
er?"
"Well res. but ho took jt bank on
the next nage and privately informed
each individual that ho dd not bcau
him He also called them dead beats
antl paupers, and took it back In the
same way"
"Did that have tho desied eflect?"
"Not entirely but he has since that
followed thoc blows up with his in
vincible logic untii it is supposed the
enemy has been defeated and is rout
ed." "What was the logic?"
'Oh he said Kenney and Benttey
dd not make a fair return of property
to the aessOrs."
"Convincing wasn't it?"
"Very."
"Wa.4 Hentlcy against bond, and
did Im make an unfair return ?
'"I don't know ho was not at homtv
and has had no chance to defend him
sell "
"What olo did he ay? '
"He asserted that a two vrar 10 pr
cent loifd would not sell for ovr 06
per cent That a twenty year 7 pr
cent bond would sell for moro than
par"
"Fine financial theory."
"Yes. he said that tho money obtain
od Irom the n!o of a short time lond
would not te on hand to s4vanri to
the contractor as he did thr work."
"Did he show how the moncv from
a long bond would be on hand coo nor
tlinn from a xhort one ?
"No ho cunningly kept that to him
self."
"Dili any one suggest to him that
some of tho bond men who w'ern mot
interested in and mo-it benefitted bo
the bridge had only returned alnut 0
per cent of their valuation ami that
some of them wen: driving more trade
awn from town than lack of bridges
hail ever done ?'
"Yes, but ho consistently replied
that these facts', though tr j were no
argument against bridges."
"How did Kenney come to cxpoo
himself to the blows of this terrible
man?"
"Oh that was tho cutest trick of
all. King Moes in his paper invited
the o called anti bond men to dtscunt
ihe matter with him. Kenney accept
ed ami wa logically overwhelmed by
pergonal abuse."
"Manly, verv manly, but you say the
bridge is built?"
"No, only that the question is settl
ed." "How?"
"Why, Moses imoto the watem and
the children passed over on tho old
bridge."

Having run a Buckeye elevator
binder last year and becoming so com
pletely disgusted with it by the weight
on the hordes neck and heavy tide
draft. 1 concluded to buy the standard
Kttcrlv, which Ism running this day
with two light mules to my utmost
satisfaction and reccornmenit them to
all farmers. Yours Truly.

No sore necked horses when you
use the Esterly binder.
You will not have any sway 'necked
and knock down hem to doctor if
yoa use the Estfrly binder.
The agent ofthe Esterly binder shl
the Marsh Down binder last year, this
year he has furnished fcteveral parties
that bought the Marsh Down binder
last year with the grandest biader of
the world, The ter!y.
Tbe agent of the Buckeye tells the
farmers in tbe northern
part of tfew
county that the Marsh
and ZMmtr,
company's have conolidad into
company but nevertheless tbe Samara
know when his horses are sale, al
ready fifty of tbe Eiterlys have feeee
sold.

binders ha could, bought a Deeriag tor

There are fortythrce machines that

Tho Enterly binder seems to b ailf
ring up the ire of the agents for tbtf
Buckeye. It U true the Estsrlv beat
the Buckeye In a field trial at 8 dam
last week but wo considered that i
small msttcr, and did not intend it uW
it a an argumenst againt the agent ot4
this place. Wo are selling the rUterly
machine, not by throwing mud at oth
er agents, but upon the merit of tbe
machine alone. We have had men
who purchased other machines tell us'
they are sorry that they did not get air
E-terly, but in every case we have tr$el
to cnco'irage them Sm keep the me
chine ordered. As to repair 1 will sa
that I have a full lias) of repairs far
the Esterly, the Marsh, Low dftff
and htyh up, the Standard and tbttpUsi
mowers, as well as all other maehtftwf
old. A. i YvK.
Austin Marsh says he was very glad
that he was not pswnaJsd to bay
any other machine but tbe Kstarl
although be could have dona so (h
