COME TO SOUTHWESTERN
KANSAS.


The land Of green meadows, clear
streams, fertile soil, healthful climate,
and almost continual sunshine, South
western Kansas. properly speaking,
consists of about fifteen counties, whose
territory is watered and drained by the
Arkansas River and its tributaries,
the Little Arkansas. the twoW alnuts,
Pawnee, Minnesota, Medicine Lodge,
Cimarron and their hundreds Of tri-
butaries. tits country 100 miles north
and south by $50 east and west. Being
but recently opened to settlements to
the prc-elnptor and homesteader, the
settlement of q portion Of il. especially
Of Sedgwick. Harvey, Reno, Barbour,
Sumner, Cowley and Butler counties
has been wonderfully rapid. To this
country thousands Of longing eyes are
turned, not only from the older states,
but from some portions of Europe.
These people who contemplate coming
to the west, aud to this, the choicest
portion of it, are anxious to know
more of the particulars, more Of the
striking characteristics of the great
river, its tributaries, and valleys, that
have for decades past been set down
habitable. To newspapers Of this val
ley, and to the letters Of friends alone,
can these people, who desire to come
among us, look for information. To
this end is this article compiled.
1t is q fact well known to the gov
ernment, as 10 all observing western
men. that the really valuable lands be-
longing to the general government are
now limited aud that the remaining
lands are rapidly being transferred to
private hands-ihe hOmesteader, pre-
emptor and settler of the west. Out
side of the Indian territory there re-
mains but limi.ed supply of really
good agricultural lands in all the west,
the choicest of which, for climate, sell,
and health, are to be found in the great
valley Of the Arkansas, in the counties
named above.
THE ARKANSAS RIVER
is little less than 1000 miles in length,
being one of the longest and swiftest

Dear Sir: AS you are aware during the recent
severe cold weather, have been professionally"
visiting Maine, during which time took violent
cold which settled inmy back and limbs in the form
of rheumatism. Two applications of your inyalna-
bic iniment to the afflicted parts (dred in before
tile lire just before retiring gave instant relief and
restored me to my usual health. In my extensive
practice have used various kinds Of liniment, but
none equal to yours.

CLEANING KID GLoyEs.-During the
warm weather kid gloves are easily
soiled, particularly as the prevailing
colors are quite light, and it costs
some time and money to have them
cleaned at the dyers We let our
readers into the secret Of cleaning
them at home. which can be done just
as we'll as if paid for outside. Take a
little sweet milk and a piece Of white
or brown soap. Fold a clean towel
three or four times. spread it over
your dress and spread out the glove
smoothly upon it, Take a large piece
Of white flannel, dip it in the milk,
then rub it upon the soap, and rub
downward toward the fingers,
holding the wrist of it by the left hand
Continue this process until the glove,
if white, looks like dingy yellow;
bu, if coorcd, looks dark and entirely
spoiled Now let it dry and then put
i, on your hand, and it will be soft,
smoothe, glossy and clean. Take
care, however, 10 omit no part OF the
glove in rubbing it, and sec that all
soiled parts are thoroughly cleaned.
This process applies only to white and
colored kid gloves For black gloves
that are soilcd, turned white. and 9th
erwise injured, take spoonful Of sal
ad oil, drop few drops OF ink into 1t,
and rub it all over the gloves with the
tip Of a feather; then let them dry IN
the sun. White kid boots and SLIP
pers can also be cleaned by the first
process to "look as good as new" and
black kid boots and slippers can be
restored to their pristine gl' 50 by the
latter method. -Erchange.
