The Neosho Times is responsible for the
following exceedingly tough story: Some
three months ago Mr.. James Merrill, of
Newtonia, lost from his herd fine year
ling steer, and after diligent search in
all directions gave up all hope of recov-
ering it. But few days ago the animal
came to light in an old shaft north of
Newtonia. During its nearly three
months imprisonment in the shaft it had
subsisted entirely upon soap tone, which
it managed to knaw from the side of the
shaft. The yearling is now doing well,
and on more nutritious diet, is likely
soon to make a splendid roast"

BUl ENG. FENCING
AND E1JET-

One Of the special advantages which
this county possesses over the treeless
plains of Western Kansas is found in
its timber, coal and stone. The average
width of timber belts is half a mile or
more, and the quality is excellent, fur
nishing a reasonable supply for ali prac-
tical purposes, as is shown by the fact
that the price of good hard wood in the
towns seldom exceeds So 30 PEI cord. In
the eastern aud less iiinbered portion oi
the county r"ai OF fair quality is mined
in quantities sufficient for domestic
purposes, and will no doubt lie dcvel-
Oped as the wants of the county require.
For building and fencing stone of an
excellent quality abounds in many local
tiles, yet 50 disposed as to interfere but
little with the cultivation of the soil.

CHEAP LANDS.

Notwithstanding the county has been
settled for many years and contains a
population of over 1000, large bodies O!
unimproved lands are yet for sale. These
lands belong to the L. L. & G. and NJ.
K. & T. railroad companies, and are
offered for sale cheaper than such lands
can be bought any where in the United
States where equal advantages exist.
Land capable of producing twenty to
twenty-five bushels of wheat or so to z
bushels of corn per acre is sold at s.. 20
per acre for cash. or 400 on time. Al
most any year, after being reduced to
cultivation, a single crop will pay the
entire cost of the land.
During last season many parties in
this county with less than half their
land in cultivation raised corn enough
when sold at 25c- q bushel to pay for the
whole tract. Any one looking tor new
location can not fail to appreciate this
fact, especially considering the fact that
these lands are surrounded BY old set
