RascaIItY At Rich I'm.


F. H. Bartlett, of this city, received q
letter Friday morning from his son who
resides at Rich Hill, Mo-, stating that
the coal oil excitement has subsidized,
and that more disguised lot of humani-
ty does moi. exist on top Of ground, than
those same Rich HillIans, who have in
vested largely in various enterprises
there on the strength Of the supposed
inexhaustible supply of petroleum, ac-
counts of which have been heralded
far and wide, but which now prove to
have been as glazing fraud as was ever
perpetrated upon innocent, unsuspect-
ing humanity. II was found, when too
late, that the owners of the property on
which the alleged oil wells were found,
had "salted" their premises. by pouring
several barrels of oil into coal shafts
thereon. The fraud thus conceived was
successfully practiced, and the
rascais who formulated the
scheme and carried out the
deception pOcketed thousands OF dollars,
and now their victims are CRASHING their
teeth and only waiting for an opportu-
nifty to be revenged upon the
swindlers, who, If reports be true, VIII
do well to keep clear of the scene Of
their late fraudulent operations.

EDS. NEws:-Having seen so many
hAlf-starved and poorly cared for colts in
this county l am constrained to suggest
q few things for their benefit, and beg
a short space in a column of your vsjua-
BILE paper.
Colts should, before weaving, be
taught to eat grain, and drink readily;
If possible, taught to drink skim milk,
and when taught this Will soon drink
sour milk as we'll. Feed but little corn,
as corn is too heating and tends to
make tat at the expense of bone and
muscle. Instead, feed an abundance of
oats which will do no hurt, if even fed
in large quantities. Oats make bone
and muscle, which are very necessary IN
growing colt 10 make him a Iuseful
horse. BY thus caring for him the
first year, he will come out in the spring
with sleek coat, plenty of flesh, and
with strength and constitution TO carry
him through the following summer on
grass, provided you do not make the
mistake that most farmers do in kansas.
They think they are doing. their colts
kindness by taking them from winter
quarters away from grain and other dry
feed, and turning them on grass ont on
the range, and they probably do not see
them again until they go TO get them IN
the fall. Then they are surprised to
find them no larger then when they were
turned out in the spring. and instead of
being fat and sleek tbey are poor in
flesh and possibly covered with lice,
and with a stomach twice as large as it
should be. Then the owner will ex-
cuse himself with the thought that Kan
sas is q terrible place to raise colts.
Now, to remedy this evil, first winter
them as above and when turned on grass
in the spring do not take the grain away
entirely at first, but continue the grain
at least one month, or as long as the
colt will eat it, for when their teeth be-
come soft, from eating grass, they Will
generally refuse to sat grain. Also see
that they have plenty of salt-not little
now and then, but where they can get
to it at any time. By so dong they
will not be troubled with worms, but
instead will be fat, with glossy coats,
very large for their age, with dash and
vim in their movements that denote
health, vigor and action, that is so fAuch
desired, and if. perchsnce, they are
properly bred, will bring when
eighteen months old from seventy
five to two hundred dollars On the
other hand, the improperly cared for
colt Will at that age be poor in flesh,
hide bound, with q mammoth stomach,
wormy, hair long as wool and spirit all
gone, and worth about twenty-five dol
lars, especially If poorly bred. This is
not overdrswn, for one can see such in
stances every day. II these few lines
lead anyone to take better care of their
colts. this will have accomplished its
design thus far. CLOSE OBSERVER.

JouRNEYINas AND JoTrlNes.

l have Just finished little circuit In
the last Wichita accommodation but one,
thence in buggy up Cedar creek. thence
to Rock creek and on to Strong City,
where took the night train for home
In the walk from the depot I fell IN with
Hon A. Gillett, who was also on the way
home through the dark, mud and rain of
last Tuesday night. Your reader may
not know that he "itinerates" good
deal.
Cedar creek, one of the most beautiful
streams OF water in Kansas, is about
twenty miles long, and with its tributa-
ries, q drains good portion of
west side of Chase county. The
hills on the west side mount up abrupt
ly and are covered with flint. Yet they
produce grass. The bottom lands and
the slopes of the hills are fertile and
produce corn, wheat and oats. Some of
the older settlers have good bearing or
chards. Mr.. Van Dearing, an old friend
and reader of THE News, has 800 BUSH
els of fine apples this fall. The most of
the farmers have cattle and hogs and are
doing we'll in the world.
Jonesburg Is a new town, located on
the east side of Cedar creek, ten miles
from Cedar Point. 1t has store, post
Office, two residences and drilled well.
Years will go by before it is great city.
Rock creek. tributary OF
South Fork, Is nice little
stream about ten miles long. Like all
the streams in this part of the country.
it seems to be hunting an outlet all the
way along its course through the steep
hills on the south side. The creek il
well named, but it furnishes living wa
ter for stock all the year round. The
bottoms are narrow but very productive.
G. W. Yeager, another NEWS reader
is one of the oldest settlers on the creek
He has fine farm, we'll cultivated, num-
bets of cattle and hogs, and is growing
rich. Mr.. Y. Is live Kansas man.
Chase county will never be densely
populated. but it is paradise for cattle
and sheep. Its rich bottom lands produce
large crops of corn and mIllet for winter
feeding; its great grass-covered hills
and numerous streams of living water
afford such grazing and watering privi-
ileges as must attract the attention of the
cattle kings more and more. Since the
days of Abraham grazing counties with
herds and fiocks haYe made men rich.

Sheriff Ryan. it seems.

Sheriff Ryan, it seems, is a holder
Democrat than he was two years ago.
Then he wanted to be known only as an
Independent" candidate, and would
not allow his party to nominate him.
Now he accepts the Democratic nomi-
nation. We are not posted as to whether
he is a better Democrat than he was
then, or whether he thinks the Demo
cratic endorsement is more popular
than it was two years ago. Ashe Is not,
in this canvass, sugar-coated by the sin
dependent" we suppose Republicans
and GreeHbackers are under no Obliga-
tons to support him this time. We are
really afraid salt won't save the sheriff
this trip. There is sort of an under
current of an Eli feeling among the Re-
pnblicans this year which does not
prognosticate favorably for Democrats.
There is large number of old blue coats
fading on the nails in the houses in the
valleys and on the hill sides in this county
and while the "bloody shirts" may be
burned, there is a sort of feeling
among the boys that when they have a
chance to give an old comrade lift,
they are going to do it.

present spacious quarters which are 25x
115 feet in dimensions. MIR. Caldwell
carries very heavy stock,
including the finest French china, all
grades of glassware, cutlery, fancy
goods, silver-plated ware, etc. We were
particularly pleased with the elegant
display of decorated dinner and tea sets,
ofvarious styles and prices; decorated
toilet sets, various colors; cut, engraved.
plain and nodded glassware, in sets and
separate pieces: cologne sets, very hand
some; rich china vases. msjolica ware,

large lots, direct from importers and
manufacturers, has the only exclusive
queenware and glassware house in the
city, is able to suit all tastes, and all
goods are offered low down in price.
Previous to locating in this city, Mr..
Caldwell was for over ten years engaged
in the same business at Wichita. His
extended experience and the fact that he
handles these goods exclusively gives
him every advantage in purchase and
assortment and enables him to defy
competition from every source.
