It is stated as a fact that a western congressman has won $40,000 at poker nee the present session began. He is probably always paired.

Talk about "stealing the coppers off a dead nigger's eyes!" A Cleveland (O.) undertaker has been convicted of stealing one of the eyes of a corpse.

Gen. Sheridan is prouder of|his four little daughters than he is of his record. Romping with the little ones keeps him younger and sensible. Gen. Sherman is not so fond of children. lie likes them olden "Now that I am getting old and *can climb tho hills no longer," says Mr. rtuskln, "my chief pleasure is to go to the theatre." Theatregoing with him, he saya, "is 6no of the pleasures that htivo least worn' out."

ANew Jersey farmer thought to reform his young daughter, who would go out nights, by frightening her. He .succeeded so well that a remarkable bright girl has become insane. Tho fool-killer has plenty to do yot before he goes into permanont retirement.

A New Jersey gipsy predicts that Thomas A. Edison will astonish the world with inventions that will put all his previous achievements into the shade. Tho old crone bases her prophecy on tho fact that his bride, Miss Mina Miller, was the soventli child of a wealthy fathor.

A West Virginia farmer was swindled out of *700 a few days ago in a novel manner. One of a party of gypsies told tho agriculturist that if ho would place $25 in a certain old stump he would find it double in the morning. Tho farmer tried it and tho scheme worked.

Lajce Michigan Risings at the Rate Pour Inches Every. Year.

It, is reported that Lake Michigan rising at the rate of four inches every year. Chicago is built on an immense marsh and at this rate mariy of her principal streets may be submerged before many years, indeed it is reported that certain times debris from the lake covers some of the roads about Lincoln park.

It is about 320 mfles from Chicago to St. Louis, about the same distance -from St. Louis to Kansas City. It is just 321 miles from Kansas City to Wa-Keeney, Kansas, and 319 miles from Wa-Keeney, Kansas, to Denver, Col. A party of Chicago merchants and capitalists computing the above distances, conceived the idea of making Wa-Keeney the main distributing point between Kansas City and Denver. The site is a beautiful one, being a high, rolling prairie, and unlike most Kansas towns, is pleasing to the eye. Near the town is a quarry of fine building stone, which can be quarried at a mere nominal cost, and can be furnished in the town cut in squares ready for the building at the small cost of $6.00 per cord. This stone is gray and soft when first quarried but soon hardens. There is another building stone of a beautiful flesh color, finer than the gray but more expensive.

The United States land office for part Of the counties of Sherman, Thomas, Sheridan, Graham and Rooks, and all of Trego, Gove, St. John, Wallace, Greeley, Wichita, Scott, Lane and Ness counties is situated at Wa-Keeney. In spite of the most earnest endeavors the land office is about three days behind with their work all tho time. They file from 75 to 100 claims daily, yet there is 1,500,000 acres of unclaimed land in this district.

There are six hotels which are crowded to thoir utmost capacity all the time. Two banks and a number of business houses are doing a good business. WaKeeney is. the largest border town between Kansas City and Denver, and seems destined to carry out the idea for which she was founded. Of late a party of Wellington capitalists have invested largely and taken quite an active part in building up the town.

Charters have been granted for a railread from Smith Center through WaKeeney to El Passo, and from Wellington to Wa-Keeney. These two roads when finished, together with the Union Pacific railroad now running through Wa-Keeney, will furnish ample means of transporiation. To this add the fact of fine building stone, a beautiful sight, a rich country, fine water and a healthy atmosphere, to say the least you have something more than a mere, fancy dream.
