Letter from Kansas.
Horton, Kansas, June 10, 1899,
Mn. Geo, w. 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, .

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.
In our Verdilla letter, our cor

Decision on Side Path Law.
A legal point in connection w ith
the sidepalii law ha- Keen raised up
in Bradford county. 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.
"he position taken by the commis
sioners is that under the law the
Bidepath commissioners cannot enter
upon their duties until the 1st ot
January after their appointment
(which will be next January) and
that they, tin county commissioners,
cannot levy the lav until the recom
mendation from the sidepat!i com
missioners has been made to th'.'in,
and .-m il recommendation, by the
-idepath commissioners, cannot he
made until they have entered upon
the duties their ollicc. n some
ol th unities of the State the tax
has already licen levied and the new
law put in full operation, but it is
quite possible that thev have Keen
a little too la-t for the Bradford
count v commissioners seein to have
the law on their side, although, if the
wheelmen are willing to pay the tax
nobody else aught I niplaiu,
