Lyndon Journal: On Sunday morning
about o'clock Mrs. E. OlcOtt dreamed
that her child had fallen in the well, and
while still in sleep got up and went to
the well and jumped in. Mrs. Browning
was sleeping in an adjoining room with
Mrs. Patterson, and hearing an cutlery
went to her sisters room and finding
that she WIS gone, began a search and
found that she was IN the well. Mr..
John Barnes was called, and in his
night clothes went down the well and
supported Mrs. D. until Amos Morris
and other help came and rescued the
unfortunate lady from her terrible
position. 1t is thought by her physician
that she has sustained fatal Injuries by
her leap into the well.
Wichita Eagle: Mrs. B. Y. Blackman,
known to many of our people as q widow
lady who has lived in Wichita several
years, has at last secured her pension.
There were missing links in the proofs
before the department touching her hus-
bands service and death which made it
impossible for the commissioner to allow
the pension. Hon. S. r. Peters, learning
of the matter, came down last fall and got
the facts from Mrs. B. herself, GLOWING
which he introduced a bill covering the
case WHICH Jtt55Gu5 anu now WlIu1ud bL1OIJ

dogs, and escaped.
Augusta Gazette The value of farm
products raised In this county. in 1888,
was s., 51S, 242.O3, while the value Of the

was but s., 175, 859. IA decrease of $3.50, =
1892, or about $500 short Tor every

perienCed.
Mcpherson freeman: A number of far
mers residing in the vicinity of Linds-
borg, both in this and Saline counties,
have organized a mutual insurance com
pany, with headquarters at LindsbOrg.
They propose to insure against fire and
lightning, and the limits within which
they propose to do business do not ex-
tend beyond the counties above named.
A correspondent from Rice county
writes: The past Winter has been hard
on both stock and crops. A long ride
through the country, showed the wheat
cent. Of previous crop was sOWn last Fail.
and I should judge 20 per cent. Of that
will be plOWed up and put into corn.
Peter Boozier, living near Sabethag
met with a fatal accident Tuesday after
noon. While he was returning home
his team became frightened and ran
away, throwing him against a barb wire
fence, one of the wires cutting his throat
and killing him instantly.
Freeman: Three car loads of wheat
were delivered at Logan Tuesday even
ing after four o'clock. It was handled
and carried by our two grain men,
Bridges and Bowman, before 10 o'clock

raised 5000 bushels Of wheat last year.
Wichita Eagle: An odd as well as a
pretty sight was noticed yesterday by
those in the country. 1t was the turning
over by the pillow of the black earth while
the snow was on the surface.
According to the last biennial report
of the State Board of Agriculture, Jewell
county, stands first in creamery butter,
first in oats and third in hogs and corn.
The thrifty and enterprising farmer
cOmeth to the city and returns with his
wagon laden with fruit trees, with which
he will imprOve.and beautify his home.
Much corn still remains in the fields
yet, and soon the farmers will commence
blowing for new crop. Thus do the
two ends Of the season meet.

Notes and Incidents Among the Farmers OF
The State.
Mcpherson freeman: a farmer by the
name of Williams, living in Little Valley
township, had like many others put a
plaster on his farm. The parties inter
ested visited Mr.. Williams place a short
time ago to straighten matters up, and
Mr.. w. being ready for a settlement start
ed with one Of the party for Lyons for
the purpose Of settling. After the two
men had gotten out Of sight Mr.. De Moss
appeared on the scene and proceeded to
take possession of the stock. Mrs. VIII
liams also put in an appearance at this
stage Of the proceedings, and soon con
WINGED Mr.. De Moss, at the point of a
seven shooter, that he could not take the
property, and the man left, perfectly sat
ished that woman could 'hold the fort"
with a revolver as well as with broom
stick
PaOla Republican: Last Saturday a fine
Shepherd dog belonging to one Of our
farmers became the victim Of the dog
poisOner. This is third or fourth farmers
dog that has been poisoned IN this city
within the last month, besides a dozen
or so belonging to our own citizens. The
farmers are becoming justly indignant,
and say that if they cannot come to town
without having their horses feed eaten,
and their lap robes or blankets destroyed
by COWS, or their dogs poisoned, they wiz
60 to some other town to do their trad
ing.
A correspondent from Reno county
writes: The farmers are all busy pre-
pairing to SOW oats, and some have been
already sOWn. The pasB Winter has been
very hard on wheat in this county, and
1 think tWO-thirds Of it is killed. A
great many farmers are blowing their
wheat fields. The FultZ variety Is nearly
all killed, except what was soWn in
corn-stalks, and that looks well. From
all appearance now we viii have q
very slim crop.
Peabody Gazette: Our farmers report
the wheat badly injured in this neigh
bOrhOOd. Some think the fly injured it,
and some say that il is winter killed.
Probably both are correct. Anyhow the
fact remains that many are blowing up
their entire fields, while others pillow pCr-
tons. 1t seems more and more evident
that diversified farming, here as else
where, is most reliable.

living five miles north of town. starts for
Sweden next Saturday on a visit He
came over sixteen years ago. He settled

was treated with marked courtesy by ms
associates. One day; after he had been
a Senator Tor two years or more, Senator
BOgy, the aristocratic descendant of one
of the Old French families OF st. Louis
took a seat by his side, saying. Mr.
Bruce, I have q bill here i want you 90
vote for. . 1t is one in which / have 3
great personal interest. 1t has nothing
political in it. Look at it and tell me
what you think Bruce laughed as he
said: Senator BOgy, I hope We shall ar

meant" Don't you remember meeting
me before my coming TO the Senate 2"
t'MOst decidedly, no." 81 think / can re-
fresh your memory, Senator. Some 20
years ago you were one day running
down Olive street in q hurry TO catch q
steamer. You were carrying an over
heavy valise. The day was very hot.
Don't you remember the COiOred boy
who came up and offered 20 carry the
valise down to the 1evee for a quarter2
You ran along with the boy. Soon the
wharf boat dock was reached. The boat
was just swinging out. You ran and
jumped on board. You called for the
valise. The colored boy put the valise
behind his back and called for his quar-
ter. You hunted, fished out a quarter
and tossed it ashore, but the gap was too
wide to toss the valise. The captain had
TO stop the boat and back up before you
could get your valise. Do you remember
that?" ''Wen, i should say I do" "I

Medicine Lodge Crest: In speaking of
loss on the range, every man who is &C
quainted with Uncle Dave Yates knows
that he Is good authority, and having
been bOOk-keeper and manager of the
Gregory, Eldred & Co. or OE range for a
number Of years, Of course he is familiar
with the stock and its condition. Uncle
Dave says that, taking all their ranges
together, he does not think the loss viii
reach over i've per cent; that the loss
on the Salt Fork viii be about ten, while
the loss on their extensive, well sheltered
CimerrOn ranges viii not be over three
or four, and taking into consideration
the great mum Der on the CimmarrOn, it
brings the loss down to a very reasonable
figure.
C0lU5Oy: Nearly all of the stock ranges
south Of the A. T. & S. T. railroad, in
Kansas, have been destroyed by the To-
cation thereon Of settlers, and in a few
more months there will not be q range
left in this section, Of sufficient dimen-
siOns to maintain a hundred head of cat
tie. The stOckmen are seeking new To-
cations or making arrangements for the
disposition of their herds.
Peabody Gazette: Three car loads of
milch cows have been bought in this
neighbOrhOOd this Winter, for the West,
at $40 to $40 per head. Corn is now 20
cents a bushel on the streets of Peabody,
and milling wheat 80 cents.
One hundred thousand head OF cattle
are grazing around San Antonio, Texas,
ready for shipment north.

The late Legislature passed a bill,
House bill $40, supplemental to chapter
81, session laws of 1875, concerning the
taking of census. 1t makes it the duty
of the Governor to appoint IN each un-
organized and unattached county Of the
State a census taker, whose duty it shall
be to enumerate the inhabitants and
collect all other statistics required.
Doubling somewhat the existence in
this state of such county, His Excel
lency addressed to Attorney General
Bradford letter asking for his opinion
of the matter. In reply Mr.. Bradford in
substance, says: I have to say that the
unOrganized counties as they presently
exist, are as follows: Cheyenne, Sher-
man, Thomas, Cove, st. John, Wallace,
Lane, Scott, Wichita, Greeley, Hamil-
ton, Seward, Clark and Mead. But they
are all attached to organized counties
for judicial purposes, and as such shall
be entitled to township officers and all
things pertaining to the rights and priv
iIeges of townships. If the County
Commissioners of the several organized
counties to which the unorganized cOun-
ties are attached have performed
their duties under the law of 1888, in
each unOrganized county of this State,
there is a Township Trustee, whose duty
it is to take the census statistics of their
respective township.
It is my opinion, therefore, that there is
no county in this State to which this act
is applicable, and that it is not incumb-
ent upon you to make any appointments
there under.

Points and Items About Kansas Stock
Medicine Lodge Cressst: So much is
being said one way and another in re-
caro- to the range and the loss sustained
so far, and different mems opinion vary
so widely, that it is almost impossible to
make an accurate guess on the actual
condition of range stock to-day. Some
ranges have better grass and shelter than
others: some men feed more than others,
and while some herds are receiving all
the care possible, others are roaming at
viii, at the mercy Of the elements. We
give this week the opinion Of some Of
our leading stOCkmen, and viii let our
readers Judge for themselves. Parties IN
reading this must remember that In 'S3
we had 40, 994 head Of cattle. and that q
loss of fifty per cent means 2O,497 hides.
Charley Nelson, one Of our men who Is
old in the COW business, says he shinks
the loss viii be thirty per cent in this
part Of the state; but says the territory
stock viii do better on account Of better
range and shelter. Charley brought In
q bunch Of through cattle last Fall and
commenced feeding them early and has
kept it up ever since, vet he has lost over
twenty-five per cent He says he knows
of punches Of dOmestiCs where the loss
is heavier than in his herd, OnaccOunt Of
the carelessness OF the owners.
Colg5oy: The boggy season is now fairly
upon Us. Wherever opportunity occurs
for the MIXING of cattle, that opportunity
is sure to be improved to the fullest eZ-
tent. it is 8 pity that some means could
not be invented for extracting begged
cattle without inhiCing injury upon
them. The present method Is 70 tie q

HoteI Men in Litigation,

Edward Z. Harris, formerly Of this city, but
now residing in Buffalo, n. v, yesterday filed
a bill in equity against Charles Losekam, pro-
prletor of n restaurant on street. praying for
an account aud Injunction. The bill Is filed
by Messrs j. Amber Smith and S. G. Nealc
as attorneys, audstates that the parties to the
suit were formerly partners in running the
Clarendon Hotel, Saratoga, n. Y, and on May
q, 1884, the partnership was dissolved by mti-
tual consent. At that time they Jointly owned
the lease of the hotel for five years from June,
1851, ut an annual rental of $1,000, payable
during the summer season and ending on Sep.
tcmber of each year. The liability of Mr..
Harris as joint lessee for this rent still Goa
tinues, as the lessor refuses to release him. By
mutual agreement between the partners in the
paper disSolving the copartneTshp Mr.. Lose
KAN was to have the sole right to run the hotel,
pay the rent, and hold Harris secure out of
any liability arising out of the leas, for
non-payment of rent, and in pursuance of
this understanding Harris assigned to
Losekam all his right In the lease, and the lat
ter has since run the hotel for his own benefit.
About the 18th of last September Losekum
closed his season ut the hotel, and Harris says
he has been informed that he U,osekam) was
indebted to the lessor for a large balance of
rent. Mr. Harris then refers to Il pending suit
III the supreme court in New York, which IN u
certain event the parties to this cause will be-
come liable in that one, and says that he has
been informed that Losekam Is about fraudu-
lently 10 convey and transfer his properly with
the intent TO cheat him (Harris), and avoid
paying his just indebtedness. He, therefore,
asks that the lease be sold and the proceeds
distributed according TO the order of tho court,
and that Losekam be restrained from dlspo ling
OF MS property i'll any manner until the mat
ter has been adjusted by decree OF the court.
Upon hearing the papers read, Justice Cox
read Il temporary restraining order cnioluing
the sale of the lease, making 1t rc,urnaDlc ON
the 2lst instant.
