Death Of A. @. Wilder.

The dispatches of last Saturday an
nounced the death Of A.Carter Wilder
in San Francisco on the evening of the
22d. Mr.. Wilder had been ill with
consumption about three years, and
said when he passed through here last
month that he was taking his last jour
ney-
He was born in Worcester county,
Massachusetts,, and was forty-seven
years of age. He first came 10 Kansas
in March, 1857, took up his residence
in Leavenworth and remained until
October, 1865. He took an active part
in politics; was secretary and chair
man of the FIRST Republican committee
and was elected TO Congress in 1868.
After returning TO Rochester, New
York, he was elected Mayor, and once
lacked only three votes OF a uomina-
ton TO Congress in that district.
He was genial, arm-hearted, hon
est man, aud leaves many friends in
this State who will mourn his death.

Embry VS.. Anthony.

The case of Embry for attempting
the life of Col. Anthony was tried be-
fore the district court OF Leavenworth
last week, and resulted in the acquital
Of Embry. A special TO the journal
OF Commerce says that the jury re-
turned verdict of mot guilty" IN
four minutes and half after leaving
their seats. The same dispatch says
it was a terrible blow to Anthony
many witnesses testifying that he was
violent man. while some testified that
they wouldn't believe him under oath
in q case where he was directly inter-
ested. The regular associate dispatch
says the known expressed opinion of
some of the jurymen summoned set
tied the fact as to their verdict before
the testimony was taken. The trial
by such jury was farce. Solid men
who were summoned had all formed
and expressed an opinion and were
challenged off the jury for a cause.

Immigration.

People who have all idea that Butler
county is at stand-still are very mue
mistaken. We have taken some pains
during the past few days to ascertain
the true status of affairs in our county,
regarding increase in population and
wealth and would beg leave to make
the following report:
"A gentleman came in from Iowa last
week and bought farm above town
on the West Branch. He brought
with him over 600 head of fine sheep,
besides other stock.
A gentleman bought q section Of
land of the railroad company last week
in Paramount township and will break
up 400 acres the coming season and
will sow il to wheat. He intends TO
improve the whole section.
Messrs. Cameron Il Redden effected
the sale.
John Taylor has brought in lately to
his farm on Little Walnut $50 head OF
first rate Cotswold and Southdown
sheep. They are said to be very fine.
John Van Ausdale, of Paris, Ken
lucky. has bought Mr.. Tadlock's place
and will become permanent resident
Oh our county.
j. j. jenkins, of Tennessee, has pur
chased the Gideon Stevens farm aud
will also become one of us.
Col. Plumb, of Emporia, will send III
large flock of sheep soon--probably
800 in all OH Durachen creek.
General Ellet bought car load of
very fine sheep and cattle last week in
Illinois and sent them to Will Ellet'-
farm on Rock Greek TWENTY-FIVE
sheep cost twenty-five dollars per head.
or 1928 for the lot. The cattle are said
10 be fin.
Abraham Wolfe and Mr.. Fisher, of
La Sale County, Illinois, have re-
moved to Benton township, in the
Durley neighborhood, and will pur-
chase farms.
Mr.. Heacock, a gentleman just ar
rived from the east, has bargained for
a half section OF land on Satchell creek.
of town.
John Turner, near Towanda, has
fine drove of Merino sheep, just ship
ped in from Illinois. Mr.. Turner is a
new man in our county and is going |
into sheep husbandry extensively.
Ten or twelve new families have set |
tied in town within the past few weeks, |
all hunting for homes. In fact, the |
town is full of people hunting homes.

Tho Wheat Prospect.

We have been careful in making in
quiries about the condition of the
wheat crop in this section of the State
and are prepared to make reliable
report. The acreage in Butler county
is double that of last year, there being
over $4,000 acres of fall wheat in the
ground in the county. The most of ii
was put in early, with drill, the
ground being in fine condition, ii is at
this time well rooted and is in better
condition now than last years crop
was at this season of the year. The
roots have struck deep into the
ground. The surface is thoroughly
matted over and we can conceive OF
no accident that will prevent an extern
siye wheat harvest in this county next
summer.
The same may be said of the crop in
Cowley county. They have at least
$4,000 acres of ground sown 10 wheat.
This portion of Kansas has had more
rain than the northern part of the
State this fall, consequently the wheat
crop is in better condition than it is in
other localities. Cowley county farm
ers have struck the keynote on wheat
growing. They have found out that
10 insure wheat crop it must be put
in the ground early.
The reports from Sumner county
are very favorable. The extremely
favorable fall has enabled the farmers
TO get their crop in early and in good
condition. We presume they have
about $4,000 acres sown 10 wheat in
that county.
We have from time to time called
the attention of our readers TO the
condition Of the crop in our own
county OF Sedgwick, which promises
equally as large yield as any of her
sister counties. withdrawing the
immense yield of wheat in the South
west last year, we have every reason
TO expect much larger one this. The
elements are extremely favorable al
this writing for an immense yield of
this staple product, which will be of
invaluable benefit to this young and
growing section of the State.
