rank with the very best cattle inn

largest and most successful breeders of short
horn cattle in the west. His entries consisted OF
four Durham bulls 1--WE Durham cows, four Dur
ham heiferS three Durham calves, two graded
bull calves, two cows and two heifers calves. An
idea OF the extent of Mr.. Comforts operations
may be gained from the fact that he has paid
$500 for single animal.

Obituary..

Died, at lola, kaDsas, tuesday, Sept
18th, of bilious fever, after a brief ill:
ness of eight days,Mrs. R. w. AGES,
in her list year.: Mrs! r. W/Acers,
whose death we this week chronicle,
and whose maiden name was Juliet
Spencer, was born IN the village OF
Geneva, Cayuga Co, n. Y, on the 10th
day ofJune, 1911. She came of one OF
the Oldest families Of the country, and
several of them served with distinction
during the war of the Revolution.
Her grandfather was captured with
the noted Col. Ethan Allen, and was
with him transported across the seas
to English for trial. They were i'm
prisoned in an England dungeon and
subjected to many hardships being
continually kept in the stocks and
also handcuffed. Her grandfather
soon discovered that he could slip his
hands out of the hand cuffs and began
working for his own and Col. Aliens
escape, always taking the precaution
to be apparently secure in the stocks
when the guard came around to exam
inc. BY So continually working, after
a time he succeeded in releasing him
self and Col. Allen also, when they
together made their escape from the
prison and from England, and finally
made their way back to America.
Mrs. Acers' father died during her
infancy, and she with some of her rel
atives, in 1882, moved to Chautauaua
county, N. Y, where she ma.r;ea r.
w. Acers Sept. 18th, 1899. On the
18th day of May, 1886, they moved to
a point i6 miles west Of Chicago, ills.
Chicago at that time being but VIZ
lage Of few hEnired people in an al
most uninhsbited country. Here her
son. lnige Nelson F. Acers, was born.
In 1867 r. w, Acers and Mrs. Acers

previously come to Kansas), and 10
Gated at lola, where they have contin.
uously since lived, honored and re
spected by all who knew them.
Only three hours before her death
the relatives of the deceased were
cheere9 with the belief that her recov-
cry was almost certain. But this was
not to be, and the closing hours Of
well spent life Were cheered by the
presence of husband, SOD and relatives,
and many warm ffieads.
The funeral services were conducted
at the residence b. Rev. E. 8. Miller,
and was attended by many friends of
the family.

Western Nfharinna.

The Yurah and Samoyedes wander
about clad in winter in reindeer skins
from head to foot, leaving exposed only
small portion Of the face They are
excellent archers, and in hunting they
still use the bow, FIRE arms and powder
being not yet easily within their reach
The women use good deal of orna-
ment on their dresses, in the shape Of
pieces Of bright colored cloth, while on
their tresses, thrown behind, dangle
number of trinkets, as odd sometimes
as the lock of gun. Their shamans
or priests cover their dresses with
pieces Of metal, which make noise in
their religious dances. They use also
magician's drum, (which is found
among the Laplanders. The Yuraki
are among the least Christianized Of
the Siberian tribes. In many cases
they transform the trunks Of trees
into idols. Among those furthest north,
dogs are used for draught, and occa-
sionally are allowed to come within
the owners habitation, but they are
not affectionate animals, having to be
ruled by fear rather than by love. The
Russian exiles living on the Obi are
not in confinement, but are placed in
the villages to get their own living, or
partly so. This they do by commerce,
fishing and hunting. They go about
in winter on snow-shoes. Occasionally
the better educated among the exiles
find employment in teaching and in
photography. Mr.. Lansdell, in his re-
Gently issued Through Siberia" says.
"That the commercial value of the
basin Of the Obi, and large part Of
Western Siberia, is not yet realized by
European capitalists is the opinion OF
most Of those who have been there"
He speaks of the Altai mountains as
rich in silver, copper and iron, and of
a belt of black earth, 600 miles wide,
like a vast tract Of garden land, well
suited for the production Of wheat,
oats, linseed, barley and other cereals,
and from which the inhabitants can
easily obtain a great deal more corn
than is needed for their consumption.

Cheap Living in Saxony.

A correspondent of the Chicago
NeaoS writes that while everything was

money per diem than it cost them to
live at home, but they had all lived
more luXuriously.

Other adventures and experiences of
a similar character were gone over. l
have just given enough to show why
it is that people of small means in
England flock to Saxony. They can
live well here for what it would cost
them to live poorly at home. Ameri-
cans have not taken advantage of the
inducements offered by Dresden or
Leipsic as yet, because Americans do
not live like the English on annuities.
But to persons in America who have
an income from rents or invested cap
ital Of say $1,000 year, the induce
ments offered by this delightful eoun-
try are beyond computation.

Agricultural Wonders.

Stalks OF wheat six feet high, with
heads six inches long, are the pride of
California farmers.
A beautiful tuberose, with a stalk
six feet high, is the property of Mr.. A.
i. Lutz, of Lancaster, Pa.
The longest cucumber ever grown in
the South was on exhibition in North
Carolina. 1t is forty-seven inches long.
The corn crop of Texas this year is
estimated at 140,000,000 bushels. The
value of the agricultural products Of
that State is $94, 1898.
The largest tobacco leaf reported
this season was grown by John G
Dougherty. of Lancaster county, Pa,
1t is forty-six inches long and twenty
seven wide.
William Pfeiffer, of Gunpowder, Nd,
exhibits stalk of corn measuring six.
teen and half feet from the root tc
the top, and ten feet two inches from
the root to the ear.
Griffin, Ga, has the largest peach
orchard in the South, containing 50-
600 trees and covering nearly 600
acres. -Four hundred grated apple
trees and 5000 pear trees stand on the
same farm.
There are 1900 head of Jersey cat
tie on the Isle of Jersey and 5000 on
the Isle of Guernsey. The exporta-
tions from both are nearly 5000 head
per year. Several hundred come to
the United States.
A rose bush bearing over Q0 buds
is the pride of a garden in sstown,
Mass. 1t is thirty-fve y old, and
it covers over 100 sqdaie feet of
ground. A single stem had sixteen
buds, and stems having twelve, ten or
less were quite numerous.

The Steam Which Keeps Business
Moving.

"A reporter dropped into our largest
retail establishment Wednesday.
You have a great rush of business,
remarked the reporter.
Yes, replied the proprietor, partly
because it is holiday season, but mainly
on account of advertising.
How can you tell whether advertis-
ing pays?'
Il can tell that advertising pays by
stopping il. I've tried it. Trade
drops; the tide of purchasers flows
some other way
Suppose you should give up adVer-
tisingY
L should save a big pile of money
but should lose a bigger pile. You
must keep the boilers heated II you
want steam. II you bank your fires
too long, it takes time to start up.
Advertising is the steam which keeps
business moving. I've studied the
matter. - Boston Journal
