SINGULAR DISAPPEARANCE OF A YOUNG MER-
CIIANT--A PECULIAR CASE--ARRESTED FOR
FORGERY-nE or DUCK TRAPS IN
JAMES RIvER-INTEREsTING CASES IN
COURT, &C.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dlspatch.l
JANUARY 0, 1884.
Mr.. 7. A. Gray, young merchant doing
business on Halifax street, left the city
yesterday under circumstances surprising
and unaccountable to his friends. He had
always been prompt in his business trans
actions, and possessed almost unlimited
credit with our merchants, TO a number OF
whom he is indebted. Mr.. Gray was doing
n good business, and none OF these debts
were pressing upon HIM, and the reason
OF his departure is therefore not under
stood. 1t is reported that for several days
he has apparently been much troubled in
mind. the cause OF which was not divulged
to any OF his friends. His stock OF goods
has been taken charge OF by his creditors.
All who know the young man speak Of him
in high terms, aud it is believed by msny
that his mind is not right.
A negro named Fayette Wilkins alias
Alexander Smith, hailing from Prince
George county, was arrested i'm this city
yesterday on TWO sepuriltc charges OF
forgery. The forgeries were so apparent
that they were detected at once. He forged
the name OF hlr. Alexander Livesay, OF
Prince George, TO two orders for money

ing trial.
1t is stated that nearly all the duck-traps
in the James river below City Point were
destroyed by the storm and broken ice on
Monday. entailing a loss OF about one
thousand dollars on the owners. Duck
trapping Is one OF the great industries OF
the Point, aud as 1t is now Just In the
height OF the season the loss will be Sc
riously felt.
Mrs. Martha Wynne, an aged lady, re-
siding on Market street, died quite sud-
denly yesterday morning, OF heart-dlsease,
OF which she had long been sufferer.

PHILLIPS COUNTY

Geographically Phillips County is To-
Gated in the northern tier, in the west
ern central division of the State, being
the eighth from the Missouri River and
fifth from the Colorado line, is bounded
on the north by the state of Nebraska,
and on the east by Smith county, on
the west by Norton county 1t is thir-
tY miles square and contains nine
hundred square miles. The north fork
Of the Solomon river runs entirely
through the southern part of the coun-
ty. Besides this stream, the Prairie
Dog, Cedar, Deer, Tlum, Bissell, Plot
ner, Wolf and Walnut creeks run
through the county, and makes it one
Of the best watered counties in the state.
These streams are all fringed with cot
tonwood, ash, elm, box-elder, black
walnut, blackberry, and many other
kinds Of timber, aud are situated in the
center OF rich valleys OF bottom lands,
which afford pasturage for stock, that
is unsurpassed. The uplands consist of
gently undularing praIries, whose soil is
rich, dark loan, very fertile, and well
adapted to the raising of grain and p. O.
duce. Corn, wheat, rye, barley, oats,
millet, fax, sorghum, potatoes and
broom corn are the principal staples,
and the general varieties -of stock arc
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs.
The climate is very temperate, with
long summers and short winters. Large
farms OF these beautiful prairiss are al
ready under cultivation, and broad acres
OF maize and wheat wave in the soft
wind like an inland sea, while island
groves are rising phoenix Ike as env-
irons of the snug farm house.
The county abounds in magnesia
limestone, which is excellent for build
my purposes or for burning into lime.
This county has all been subject to the
OpeI alton OF the United States ple-emp-
uOn, homestead and timber culture act,
and consequently portion of 1t is not
} ct taxabse, but it is largely settled, and
there IS enough taxable properly so that
school houses abound, and Phillips
county is rapidly reaching the acme OF
that reputation which Kansas has SO
nobly carried.
The 3. & 81. R. r., in Nebraska, is
now opened through TO Denver and the
mountains, and its ma line passes on
~ few miles north of the county line,
and there is a considerable prospect
that branch of the b. & 81. railroad
will be built through this place. Il is
reasonable to suppose that great line
like the b. & n. would like some of the
traffic to be derived from such a rich
country as this is destined TO become.
should the town get The road there is
10 place that offers better inducements.
The Central Branch of the Missouri
Pacific railroad passes through the
southern part of the county, and the
prospects are that the main line will be
extended to Denver and the mountains,
which must be supplied with provisions
from Kansas or further east. With
these market facilities, the farmer caz
find ready sale for the different prud-
ucts he raises. Phillips county has de-

THE PROSPERITY OF KANSAS.

Nearly every weekly paper We receive
Oonteins from one to half 3 dozen items
reading about in this fashion: MFR
is building large and handsome resi-
dence on his farm, to take the place of
the house in which he has resided for
sumo years :" or, ''Mr. is building
a commodious and substantial barn on
his farm in - township"
Nothing more clearly indicates the
substantial prospect ty of Kansas than
such items as these. Kans as is just of
age, and has commenced to live. The
period of her youth has past, and the
State, In the full stature and strength
OF manhood, has settled down to busl-
ness. There is no longer anything tx-
detrimental about Kansas. The State is
the birth place of quarter of million
Of people. Those who ale here do not
talk of going back, Or of going on as
soon SIS they have accumu ated means.
They are satisfied with Kansas as per-
manent home. Those who are coming
and great host are pouring in are,
q rule, men of means, who are able to
pay from $20 to $lU0 an acre for land
they want, to improve it thoroughly,
and to build comfortable and cOmnodi-
Gus homes. The Astounding fertility of
Kansas soil, the healthfulness OF Kansas
climate, the pleasant conditions of life
here, the intelligence and enterprise OF
Kansas people-these are qnstions no
longer open for discussion. They are set
tied.
Kansas is not only one of the most
beautiful and fertile regions on the map
of the world, but it Is to-day the most
prosperous Stale in the American Union.
1t has fewer immensely ion, or very
poor people than any other Stae. 1t
has greater wealth, in proportion to pop
ulatlon, than any other State, and that
wealth is more evenly distributed among
its population. 1t produced last year,
in round numbers, 1872, 100, 900 bushels
Of corn, 80, 100, 900 bushels of wheat, 3d.
100000 bushels of oats, 5,100,00 bush

1905 bushels of castor beans, 10000
lbs of cotton, $50, 900 lbs of hemp, 49,
0OO.0 lbs of broom corn, and 10000
bushels of rice corn. These crops were
worth, at a low estimate, as follows:

These states produced nearly four
fifthS of the whole crop OF the uniUn
which was 42O, 1874 500 bushels. One OF
the most remarkable facts revealed in
the above statement is the astonishing
agricultural progress made in the state
of Kansas. That state stands second in
the corn producing column, and sixth in
the wheat producing list. In the whole
ca alOgue of states Kansas stands third
in the value of its a agricultural products.
though in population it is the eighteenth
state The value of its agricultural
products in proportion to its population
far excels, except Nebraska, with which
it stands on nearly the same plane. In
1880 there were engaged in agricultural
pursuits in Kansas 2O6,OSO persons.
The wheat and corn crops aloHe, at the
prices which prevailed in that state for
the year, were worth 1924 per capita to
each person engaged in agriculture. If
the product of all agricultural industries
of the state were added to the above, IS
well as of all other occupation, it is
doubtful if the result would not show
that no people ever enjoyed 3 greater
prosperity than those of Kansas in 1888.
The commerce of such a state Is worth
striving for, and has been and is the
foundation of the prosperity and woR-
derful growth of a dozen considerable
cities.-[ omaha Bee.

The population Of Kansas, in 1883,
was 1,O17, 145, so that the farm crops Of
the State, for that year, averaged in value

The increase in the value of live stock,
