and not crumbs when we have only
thirty % niEty bnshels o. corn. or al.
teen huaheis of wheat 70 tie acre.
The gsntienian aiso critiesses our 70
latoes. Wen, Patrick shanahsn q
supposed 60 BE- a. IrlEhman. and the
Irish are generally good judges Of po-
tatoes, and be told me, yesterday only,
the beat potatoes he has eaten 10
America be etc IN KansaG Mr.WOles-
lagie would have cur readers believe
this Eaa no fruit country. Ask Mr..
David Dlbert o. my father what they
saw here Inst al. The former gent
leman told me he had travelled
much On his lifetime, bat he never
nsW such an orchard loaded with fruit
IS he did on tie farm ofyoung Lewis
Donmysr, and the eastern portion OF
KanSls, where Mr.. Wolesiagle lives, q
even q baltaF mutt district than where
We live On Central Kansas. Next,
the gentleman attacks our live stock,
then he gets down 30 what he IL
pleased b call the green ,soum-covered
pools, and goes for our fishes they
don't suit bis taste. As 10 our fishes
Weuld kindly refer your readers 10 Mt.
john MeDsFnott, Of your city. He
caught several while out here. Next,
Mr.. Woleslagls attacks the health ofthe
state, and would have you believe we
were all sick and then be would Ike
b have your readers take = peep Into
the cupb0arda, pantFies and Out-hOuses
On Crawford county, Of counsel and
zee q cart load Of empty bottles All
there e probably where the whole
trouble comes IN with the gentleman.
Were the bottles hlled, perhaps he
would not ind 90 much fault Well,
we will agres with him that there is
little consolation In q half-eart load Of
empty bottles, especially In q prohi-
billion state but u Mr.. Woleslagie
ever pays his Saline county friends q
visit, and they permit him 10 peep IN
10 their pantrles, be viii propably zee
one OF two bottles OF . ''llttle brown
iug,n but not empty like his half-eart
load. Then he says be wants 10 nall
another lie fast - to the climate. This,
I fear, he viii ind very dlfhcult feat
10 perform. The climate IN Kansas,
like In other states, does about as lt
pleasss, and does not propose to let
any one individual nall it fast. Now,
Il Il true the Thermometer registered
20' below zero In our state, but not S0S.
But suppose Il did. Was it not cold
eyeryWheFe, even On the south 4? Or
does he expect to have mild weather
In Kansas, and especially IN Crawford
county, when ell around, East, West,
North and South, the thermometer is
way below zero ? Is Il not unreasOna-
Bile TO expect isuch q thing In q
country 50 God-forsaken In every other
respect, as Mr. w. would have you
believe il Is? In conclusion let me
call your readers attention 10 the
next column TO the left In your paper
In which Mr.. Woieslagle's letter ap-
pears, and note Mr.. Frank Dlbert's
remarks shout Eastern Kansas. He
e q gentleman who has not only trav-
eled ell over Kansas and the United
States, but even the greater portion
OF Europe, and also an item In the
same paper and on the same page By
Mr.. L. n. Constable, formerly Of Cam
bFia county. Now Il strikes me that
either Crawford county IL q much
poorer county than people around
hers and those who have been there
take It 10 Be OF there is q screw loose
somewhere else.
