THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

The Cheyenne Transporter contains
the following items:
The Indians have been busy fo
some time picking their corn. o
which large crop was this veal
grown by them. They find good de-
mand for their corn, selling It TO the
traders. The Indians are greatly en-
couraged with their first attempt Al
farming, and next year more of then
will till their soil.
ii. G. Mann, manager of the Agen
cy herd, has just finished burning fire
guards around his winter range few
miles north of the Agency. The herd
which numbers over I, 800 head, is IN
fine flesh 10 go into winter, and unless
it should be an exceptionally severe
one, Mr.. Mann thinks the cattle will,
come out next spring i'm good condi-
ton.
The bloodcd bulls added last spring
to the agency herd by the interior de-
partmeut have about ali died of fever
of some sort. ltseems an impossible
ity to successfully raise blooded cattle
on these ranges, for they have been
repeatedly introduced here and in
every case have died from fever. Mr..
{. ii. Mann, who is an admirer of fine
stock, has just sold q Short horn COW
valued at 800.
Messrs. ID. Hays, T. Council, G. ID.
Williams aud W. w. Charles have
been out several times duck and
chicken shooting. These prominent
gentlemen profess to be crack shots,
and The innocent birds stand a slim
chance of escape when they get a
showing at them. But just how many
birds they returned with, we have not
been able to learn. At one shot Mr..
HAYS downed twenty-five ducks; or
one duck at twenty-five shots, we
know not which.

Itself; mercry would not eliminate il %
easily. Mercnry will be retained in the
solid parts Of the body for years. Il would
not remain long in the tissues of the
stomach.
The Hypothetical questions put BY the
state are so formulated that they cannot be
intelligently answered by yes or no without
explanations. Mr.. Sterry put one Of the
questions and the witness answered arsenical
poisoning, and TO another that he had prob
ably received more than one dose. / never
treated case Of arsenical poisoning, it is
very rare.
Question: Could physician without in
formation that man was poisoned be ex-
pected, in case having the symptoms of
acute digestion, to give an antidote for
poisoning? Answer: Not unless he sus-
pected poisoning; the antidote would do
harm.
Question: Can physician tell from the
symptoms when Q dose of arsenic was
given! Answer: No; no man under heaven
can tell'defnitely. He can form reasonable,
but not absolute, opinion rs to one or two
days.
The matters Of strength of Fowlers So
luton was brought up and argued upon to
correct the doctors memory, and the wit

THE FINE COUNTY or PRATT.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
This may properly be classed among
the new counties, which have been
settled up during the past two years
although its organization dates back
to 1879, and even as late as last fall
there was considerable government
land yet to be pre-empted. The compile
ton Of the Wichita & Western road to
kingman, however, seemed to be the
stimulus required for it's rapid settle
menf, and six months ago every un-
occupied quarter section had been
taken. Its common thing to picture
in bright and golden colors the rich
soil, genial and healthful climate. and
other advantages to be found in the
Western counties: but this is county
the praise Of which, as yet, have not
been fully shown, as 1t has without a
doubt the finest body of land In all
of Southern Kansas. Pratt county is
located in the second tier of counties
from the south line, and 1870 miles from
the west line, and 220 miles from the
east line of the State. The soil is all
that can be desired, and mostly
of dark .nulatto loan, slightly
mixed with sand. which makes it easy
to cultivate. Water of the purest
quality can be easily obtained at q
depth of from twenty to eighty feet.
There are chances here for the farmer
thst are undoubtedly very favorable
towards his success, aud a man with
only thousand dollars can secure q
quarter section of land that in three
years, with ordinary care and judg-
mcnt in making his improvements.w will
be worth at least five times that
amount. An important consideration,
and one not generally known, is the
fact that settler can realize quite a
respectable sum from his first gears
crop, aud il is common occurrence
among many farmers to secure yield
of from forty to fifty bushels of corn
and from twenty TO thirty bushels of
wheat from the first planting. Fruits
and vegetables of almost every kind
yield abundantly, and so well satisfied
are the majority of the settlers with
the soil and climate that they are max
ing their Improvements evidently with
view of remaining. Thousands of
trees are being planted along the road
aud on the farms, and in three or four
years from now this county will be
classed with the best in the state.
The yield this year of wheat and corn
has been better than the average in
some of the eastern counties. Many
fields of wheat raised twenty-five
bushels and corn fifty bushels to the

A careful surveny of the field

cd in Sedgwick county. The kickcrs
are few aud thin, and the Democ racy
with the pristige of the national ad-

anything bat satisfactory to Demo
