"Had trouble, with the railroad surveyors?1' "Yes been shakin' my house 'round all summer. First some men came along in a bugjy, set up some long, slim, barber-pole lookin' sticks, stuck up a three legged dufunny, humped down, squinted through it, an' then says they: 'Old boss, you got to move your house 'bout lour rods, 'cause we're goin' to run the track of the Dakota and Gum Weed Fork rail road right through here!" "So you moved it?" "Pulled her right outo' the way. I ain't the man to hinder no pub lic improvements. Then some more come along, an' squinted an' peeked around, an' says they: 'Mr. Granger, we're sorry, but we'll have to trouble you to yank your house around 'bout six rods south.' I made a bee, an' we yanked her." "Didn't that settle it?" "No. In 'bout a week I caught more men a squintin', an' I called the hops an' we put jack-screws under the house an' then I asked the men where we should go. cJes' haul her 'bout a quarter of a mile due west, old man,' an' 'fore night me'n the boys had her hauled. I left the wheels right under it that time, an' told Ike not to onyoke the oxen." "You didn't have to move again ?" "Yes, but I did. Next mornin' 'fore we was up, 'long come a com mitte from town and condemned the house, an' ordered me to move inside of ten minutes to make room for the Great Dakota an' North Pole Route. We hooked up an' was snakin' it along while my wife got breakfast, when down come a big fat man with half a dozen double chains an' begun givin' me hail Columbia for drivin' 'crost the right o' way of the Great Dakota an' Dshkosh Road, an' while 1 was poundin' the oxen, the sheriff threatened to arrest me for obstructin' the depot grounds of DAY. & SONS the year; the ildren should re ir children; wh ves are sure t theart and frie that are always otten d Time as goods, and our Harry g the latest patterns, and choi made in Astoria, as we shall NG DAY of which due not the Great Dakota an' Open Air !i.HiI hue. 1 js' managed to .ret my h nse oil on to a piece of gover'iiiont land, an1 then sat an' watehed the surveyors comin' on the run for the next week." "Didn't any of the roads build?" 'Oh, no, no; I hey tell me down town that they all got their stocks sold to eastern spectators, so there ain't no need o' buildin'. Whew! but you orter to see the little pine stakes stuck in my place. You can't walk 'crost in the night 'thout fallin' down fastcr'n you can git up." Waste of TKsuc Withont Repair.

In the United States supreme court, last Monday, a decision was made iu the Kansas prohibition cases. The decision is, in effect, that the supreme court sustains the right of a state, under its police powers, to suppress the manufac ture and sale of liquor within its limits, without any liability on the part of the state for compensation for the value of any property which mav be destroyed hv snnh shite action. The court thus declares the prohibition law of Kansas to be valid. "Handy to have in the house" Ayer's Cherry Pectsral a rjromnl and certain remedy for croup, colds ana pulmonary atlections.
