The Bartley correspondent of the State Journal takes exceptions to the report on the yield of corn as sent from this county to the department for No vember. Hear him : "The recent re port of the agricultural department says : 'In Red Willow county , the corn is not cribbed , but will not exceed five bushels to the acre , mostly cut for fed der. ' And then adds "The facts are there was but little to crib and there was no corn on that cut early for feed. " He claims to quote the report but his quotation is not.in the November re port. Following is a copy of the report that was sent : "Corn not cribbed ; do not think it will yield above five bush els per acre on an average through the county on what is standing ; mostly cut up for fodder. Some farmers will need help or suffer. " Five bushels per acre seems a fair estimate on what was left standing to mature. The report ap pears on page 551 as follows ; "Not cribbed. Will not exceed five bushels per acre ; mostly cut up for feed. " A later report was sent as to the average yield per acre on what was cut and standing both , and the estimate was : "About one and one half bushels per acre. " It seems this Bartley correspondent pendent is greatly exercised over what he would like to make people believe , is an over estimation of the yield of corn. No doubt but the report is ap proximately correct , his insinuations and suspicions to the contrary notwith standing. WM. COLEMAN. NOTICE.

Workings of the Zone-Tariff. [ Topics of the Time in The Century. ] The "Zone-Tariff. " as it is called , was put in operation in Hungary on the 1st of August , 1889. It has , therefore , but a brief experience to justify its practicability ; but the results thus far have been so remarkable that its suc cess seems to be assured. The method con sists of a division of the territory of Hungary into fourteen concentric zones. Budapest , the capital , being the center. The first zone in cludes all stations within 25 kilometers 16& miles from the center ; the second , all more than 25 and less than 40 ; all the zones except the first , the twelfth , and the thirteenth are 15 kilometers , or a little more than 9 miles in breadth , and the fourteen includes all stations more than 225 kilometers from the capital. The fare is regulated by the number of zones which the traveler enters or crosses during his journey. Reducing guldens to cents , the rate is 20,16 and ten cents per zone , for first , second and third class passengers respective ly. If one starts from Budapest and crosses three zones he travels , therefnre , 55 kilome ters , or about 34 miles ; if ho goes first-class , bis fare will be 60 cents ; if second class , 48 cents ; if third-class,30 cents. For local truffle , when the traveler does not cross the boundary of any zone , there are special rates ; if he goes only to the nearest station , the charges will be 12,6 and 4 cents ; if to the second station from his starting-point , 16 , 9 and 6 cents ; if to the third station , the full rates of the zone are charged. The greatest reduction , however , is in the long distance The increase in the passen ger traffic has been very great. For the first eight months of the new system the number of passengers carried was 7,770,876 ; for the cor responding months of the previous year the number carried was 2,891,332. It may be sup posed that tbis increase was mainly due to the great reduction in long-distance rates. On the contrary , the gain is the largest in the traffic between neighboring stations. Of such passengers there were under the old system 255,000 ; under the new , $4,367,586. Tbis vast increase of business has also been accompanied by a substantial increase of revenues. The Latest and Best Cyclopedia. The twenty-fourth volume of Alden's Ifani- t > ld Cyclopedia has been issued. Though con ducted in a quiet manner , this Cyclopedia is one of the great literary undertakings of the time. Something of its magnitude may be seen by the fact that the closing topic of the present volume is Montem. Sixteen more volumes 'Will bo required to complete the alphabet , all of which are promised within the year 1891. In the present volume , five states are treated : Michican is given over 16 pages ; Minnesota , about 13 pages ; Mississippi , about 9 pages ; Missouri. 12 pages ; Montana , 10 pages. Mexico is also treated at length. Among the cities described are Memphis , Tenn. , and the historic Memphis of Egypt ; Meriden , Mexico. Milan , Milwaukee , Minneapolis , and Mobile. There are biographies of Mendelssohn and Meyerbeer , celebrated musicians ; Michelan gelo , artist ; John Stewart Mill , political econo mist and philosopher : Hugh Miller , Christian geologist ; Milman , the historian ; Milton , the poet ; O. M. Mitchell and Marie Mitchell , as tronomers ; Moliere , French poet and dramat ist ; Mommsen , the historian ; James Monroe President of the Udlted States ; and Monteflore , the renowned Jewish philanthropist. Among the important topics in other lines are Mete orology , Methodist Episcopal Church , Miasma , Michigan University , Microscope , Mind , Min ing , Miracle , Missions , Mohammedanism , and Money. There are , of course , multitudes of others of perhaps equal interest. The matter is well brought down to date , and the Illustra tions are numerous and helpful. Paper , print ing , and binding are good , and the prices , 75 cents a volume for cloth binding , $1.00 for half-Morocco , with easy installment terms , place it within easy reach. Specimen pages mailed on request. JOHN B. ALDEN , Publish er , New York , Chicago , and Atlanta. The B. & M. R. R. has made arrangements for close connections to stations on the Des Molnes & Kansas City R. R. from Des Moines to Leon , Iowa , inclusive. Trains Nos. 4 and 6 make olose connections at Osceola in the new union depot , also via St. Joe on train No. 4. J. When a man loses his reputation it requires years of labor to climb back into the confl- dene of his fellows. The same truth holds good of newspapers. Some people read to kill time , .some read for amusement , and here and there you will come across one who reads for the purpose of ob taining information. ; THR GHOST DANCE has been running daily for the past two months at the reservation of the CAH BARGAIN HOUSE.

Sells received one car ear and one car shelled corn at Bartley , last week , which he sold out mostly to the farmers.

Blount of the Inter-Ocean displayed his skill as a printer in getting out superb letter heads for the Bartley Relief Association. ttev. Dawson of Cambridge was a guest at Mr. Vickrey's , Sunday , and accompanied the younger members of the family to the Sunday school convention at Dry Creek. A number of Mt. Zlon folks took dinner at the Bartley parsonageThanksgiving day , and left substantial tokens ot their high appre ciation of Rev. Carmichael and family. The Dry Creek convention was so much of a success that it was decided to hold them quarterly at different charges in the circuit. Officers and program committee elected for next session , which will be held at Bartley. BANKSVILLE BUDGET. Mrs. Dr. DeMay is visiting with the mall carrier , C. S. White. It is wonderfully mild after the election , even the notices of contest hardly causes a ripple. The family of James Hill are getting better of their illness. They have been severely af flicted. Uncle John Rowland looks sorry in his lone liness. His wife is sojourning with her son at Stout , Colo. Miss Hattie Miller of Kansas was a visitor at Banksvilie , Sunday , and with Clara Benja min took a horseback ride to C. S. White's. The lyceum at the Dodge school house , to morrow night , discusses and decides whether the banks and money loaners are of benefit or injurious to the farming community of that region. OBSEUVEB. Remarkable Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtain , Plainfield , 111. , makes the statement that she caught cold , which settled on her lungs ; she was treated for a month by her family physician , but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption and thai no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption ; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself bene- fitted from first dose. She continued its use and after taking ten bottles found herself sound and well , now does her own housework and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles tles of this great discovery at A. McMillen's drug store. Regular sizes 50 cents and $1.00. In Texas now they track a horse-thief on hoBS-trail-Ian-system. Wisdom prepares for the worst ; but folly leaves the worst for the day when it comes. Wm. writes : " mo than 7 that bad trouble.
