U. W. In last week’s article from Remington it was stated among other things that the levy for corporation purposes for 1895 was 60c on the sl. We do not desire a wrong impression to obtain in this matter, as it would have a tendency to discourage persons from buying property and settling in Remington were the taxes as high as that figure. The item should have read sixty cents on the one hundred dollars of valuation.

A serious railroad accident occurred near Gilman, 111., last Saturday, by which the mail agent going east on the train which passes through Remington lost his life. We have been unable to learn the particulars of the sad affair. There was a very sudden drop in the temperature here last Sunday night or Monday morning—a change of near 40° in two or three hours. The weather has since been such that people can live in some degree of comfort. A light shower of rain fell Monday morning, but not sufficient in quantity to do any preemptible good. It was, however, not needed except to replenish wells and furnish water for stock. The ground is already in excellent condition for fall plowing and the fall pastures are in very fine condition, the result of the two recent heavy rains. Rev. David Handley of the M. E. church, Remington, preached his farewell sermon last Sunday evening to an over-crowded audience. The Presbyterian and Christian churches, out of deference to Brother Handley, announced in the morning that there would be no services in either of their churches in the evening, and the members of both churches were in attendance at the M. E. Church. Brother Hadley goes from here to the Battle Ground charge, and he takes with him the kind wishes for his future welfare, not only of his own church members, but those of all others. The rite of baptism was conferred on four recent converts to the Christian faith by Elder Carson last Sunday afternoon at the Green school house charge. Wm. E. Seymour went again last Tuesday to northwestern lowa with a company of landseekers, consisting of six or

seven persons. He intends to be absent about a week or ten days. Will is a hustler and deserves to sell land whether he is successful or not. The Catholic church organization of this place is at present enjoying a ten days’ religious feast. Their principal speaker is highly spoken of as a fine orator by all who have heard him—Protestants as well as Catholics. His speech or lecture last Sunday night was on the subject of temperance. He takes the position that the meaning of the word “temperance'’ is that people should not take enough of the stuff to become intoxicated. But the trouble would seem to be: When is a person to know when he has had just enough? Who is to be judge? If a great many drinks of intoxicating liquor will make a person beastly drunk, will not a small drink intoxicate him in proportion to the amount imbibed? Then, again, is becoming beastly drunk wrong? If so. then is becoming slightly drunk not slightly wrong? The effects of a slight debauch may not be as far-reaching as a greater one. but is not the principle of the thing just as much violated in the one case as in the other? We have yet to find the man who drinks at all who knows just when to stop or when he has had enough; or, in other words, to know when he is drunk— for, when he is intoxicated to a certain extent he is certain to not know it. The speaker Sunday night said it was all right to take one drink, but not to take it to excess. We leave the matteT for your readers to judge for themselves.

The public schools will all open for business in Jordan township next Monday. Business appears to be brightening up in Remington to some extent as the weather grows cooler and winter approaches. George Hardy, ex-bankei' of Goodland, visited Remington on business matters the latter part of last week. He owns a fine farm of 160 acres 14 miles southeast of Remington. A. D. Babcock, attorney, also of Goodland, visited Remington on business matters last Saturday. A. D. was formerly a resident of Rensselaer. Ira Baker, wife and daughter of Little Rock, Ark., visited with the family of his brother-in-law, Henry Welsh, last week. Mr. Bakerand family went from here to Morocco, where he has several brothers and sisters, with whom he will visit for a short time before returning to his home in Little Rock. He was formerly a resident of Jasper county, and was a member of the Fifteenth infantry. Indiana volunteers. during the late war. Dash.

Every one who could secure a pail begun to throw water upon the flames. It was soon easy to be seen that the saloon could not be saved. A small building just west of the saloon was in great danger of being burned. They tried to turn it to the west. Finding this could not be done they turned it toward the fire and let it burn up. Well they did. it was the help that saved the Odd Fellows’ building and Mr. Huftey's dry goods store. The saloon was owned by Mr. Thomas, who at the time the fire was burning his building, was walking home from Fair Oaks by its light. He only 7 had it insured for half its value. The small building was owned by Mr. Caldwell and had no insurance. There are various reports as to how the fire originated, but each one is left to think for himself. Anon.
