GOOD PLACE FOR WHEAT.

Lets see, they raise some wheat in
Kansas, don't they ~ asked a Schoharie
granger of a Kansas man.
"Raise wheat Who raise wheat? No,
sir; decidedly no, sir. 1t raises itself
Why, if we undertook to raise wheat in
that state it would run US ont. There
wouldn't be any place to put our house -
'But I've been told that grosshOppers
take good deal of it-n
'Of course they do. If they didn't
don't know what they would do. The
cussed stuff would run all oyer the state
and drive us out-choke us up. Those
grasshoppers are Godsend; only there

"Plumpi Well L don't know what
you call plump wheat, but there are sew
enieen in our family, including ten ser
wants, and when we want bread we just

bake it-H

Ninety cents to Il dollar per hushel for

Winfield Courier.
On the LIST of November Sterling voted
unanimously 20 issue the city bonds TO
the amount of fifteen thousand dollars
for stock in the Kansas Southern rail
way, the name of the Kansas Pacific
branch from Salina. Two hundred and
two votes were cast for the proposition;
none against Elections occur on the
18th and 18th in Sterling and Washing
ington townships in Rice county, on the
proposition To extend aid to the Kansas
Southern. The bonds win carry in both
townships. There is 2 good prospect
that the road will be built 10 Sterling be-
fore next spring.
Wichita IS excited over the matter of
royalty on drive wells. Nearly if not
all the wells in that city and vicinity
are drive wells, and an agent is now
there TO collect $40 to so IN royalty
money. The people are naturally cx-
cited about it, and feel like resisting
what seems on the face to be unEarrant-

held, and the agent was notified to leave
