Wagknsellkr, Dear Sir and Editors No doubt you will be surprised to re oeiveu communication fromHortou, Kansas, Imt your very interesting and special edition of the "Post" of May 1 1th, giving such a glowing account ol the thrift and enterprise, as well as the likeness and sketch ol so many men with whom 1 am per sonally acquainted, U the principal reason why I write this letter. Through the kindness of one of your friends, (my children call her grand ma), 1 received your paper, and al though it is over a mouth old, and in all probability forgotten by many of your leaders, yet 1 can assure you it is new tu tilts and affords me very very interesting reading. And why should it licit lie? 1- it not the home nf my childhood '! Well do I remember old Beayer Furnace. The crack of the whip a- the mule team would leave the coal sheds on a dead run tor the barns, will always ring in my ears, and how can I tor get the many trips, lonely as they were, over the Midillecreck road, for we did much of our trailing in Mid dleburg with G. Alfred Schoch and the Wittenmyers. And as 1 read "Des Old t School house" and explain it to my children, (who arc always delighted when I read this( lerman), the recollection of the old red school house which stood close to Davis Gift's house, is fresh in my memory, and the words of "Dart here were unser shooling greekt," are very ap propriate. The local history of old Snyder County and especially Mid dleburg will always receive our at tention. It is now nearly twenty years since I took Greeley's advice, and while am trying to be an active supporter of every new enterprise, and one who never loses an oppor tunity to encourage any new industry in this, The "Garden 8pot" of North eastern Kansas, 1 am more than de lighted to see this same spirit still manifested by my old father, and 1 know his little support for your new and promising industry isverygrat ifyingtome, and will only make him more loyal to his town. I know you will not regard this in an ego tistical way, for I am told by good authority that old as he is, he can keep step with the music on Me morial Day, and takes great pleasure in closing his life's duties as an old soldier, and shall I say sometimes weeps like Alexander, because he can't keep conquering another na tion? it will l)c remembered by many of your readers that Brown County, Kansas, the Banner Corn and Stock County ot the Great Cen tral State, is the home of a Dumber of Pennsylvania people and especial ly of Snyder County, and I would Ik; more than pleased to give you a full description and account of Peer less Horton, the best town in the lieot county of Kansas, if at any time you care tor it, and coining from one who knows, it is not a vain fancy, nor misleading for the pur pose of encouraging emigration. Allow me to My to vour capital ists, farmers and manufacturers, thai this is u good field for homes and in vestments. A year ago one Ol your representatives graced our home for three months or more, and I know she will take pleasure in vouching my statements. Well, not knowing how you will take thisfrom astrang- er, I will concludeby inviting J. W. Orwig to accompany me to the Paris Exposition to challenge the world on cpioits, and we will take (Jabe Bea ver along to round up on checkers. Wishing you abundant success with your paper and especially your shoe factory, I remain, Yours very resp t, . C. A. A VERS. For the latest news read the Post. PA, THURSDAY, Printing Office Robbed. Safe Carried off and Broken Open. No Booty of Value. Iast Thursday morning about one o'clock burglars gained an en trance to the Pout printing office by opening a window between the en gine room and the bank stable. The editor's safe was w heeled out to the double door, which was easily open ed from the inside. The sale was wheeled out the alley to the rear of the jail alible where some palings were removed and the silc taken into the field where the hinge- were cut off and the door pried open. The iron Ihjx was removed and carried off. Nothing else was molested. The books were all recovered the next morning when the robbery was first discovered. No money was kept in the safe, hencetheburglarsgot no thing of value to them. A'liniig the things carried o'V were four notes aggregating SIN.I.OO, a wallet, -cv-eal niilrdad passes, an 1 two copy right certificates tin the "History of the Wage:: -' Her family in Amer ica" and "Slivder 'ountv Marriages, 18:55-1899," ai d some private pa pers of no intrinsic value. A strap about six feet long was left in the o!li c hy the midnight vis itors. Two yoke strap- were taken from Aaron Stahlncckcr's slabloand were usutj by the robUas. Two yoke straps were taken also from Win. Snyder's livery stable that have not yet beer recovered. The burglars certainly have' no use tortile private papers, certificates, notes, etc., and as they expect to read the POST to Bee what we will have to sav about the robbery, we wi-h to request (hem to return the paper- to some convenient place Bo that we can recover them. We would say to them further that they ought to be arrested, notsouiiicli for burglar ising as lor the fad that they should have known better than to expect to find money in a tntry newspaper editor's ollicc. We used the safe to keep our account-of those who have not paid and not to keep the money that has been paid. The lattci docs not trouble us. ( hie ol the burglars owes lis a little liill and we wi-h he would come ami pay us so that we can get the safe repaired. Since the robbery iu this office, robbers were in the cellar- of . B Winey in Franklin and of Mrs ( at harine .Snanl ami the r ranKlin Boiler Mills. Nothing was missed at the latter place. At Mr. Winey's and Mrs. Spaid's they got pies, crakes, eto.

Application was made to the court tor a mandamus to compel 1 the county commission ers to levy the tax on bicycles ;'t once and Judge Dunham granted a rule to the commissioners to show cause why they should not do so.
