The farmers who invested in the "hul-
less oats scheme" have been the victims
of swindlcr's game. Canvassing agents
first made their appearance in Whtcside
abont "a year ago. claiming to represent
an eastern firm, with a branch office a,
Morrison. They proposed to sell the farm
err from ten to fifty bushels of oats at
$40 per hushcl, binding themselves
to buy double the amount after harvest
at $3.50 per buslicl. which, of course,
they would sell to some else and take his
note for the payment. These notes were
used as money to buy their stock, and in
this way hundreds of bushels of oats
changed hands without the exchange of a
cent of money, Farmers at first looked
upon the scheme with distrust, but when
they heard of the apparent good luck of
the MorTls0nites last season, they grabbed
at the bate of the oily tongued agents un-
til about l, 100 bushels were sold or con
tracted for In this viciniry. Everything
worked smoothly until last Saturday,
when it was learned that the head man
had decamped with the funds He had
given rs security n man living somewhere
in Ohio, and out of curiosity some of the
farmers took the trouble TO call upon him
aud found that he was a farmer of mod
crate circumstances, consequently the
security is worthless and the farmers are
out just according to the amount invested

Two ladies went out to buy up
some goods,
To make a success they hunt up
every nick of the woods;
To start let us see what KNELL
has got,
For at home here we will COM
mence on the spot.
They look through the stock
and think its immense,
The assortment is large and the
style, elegance;
Every story and department is
as full as it can be,
And how it pays here we really
can't see.
Now, really Mrs. Brown, | know
we cannot do better,
You see yourself the goods are
as represented to the letter;
But, really Mrs. Jones, | can't
decide just yet,
And before / shall purchase |
want to see another set.
You've heard of the village on
the other side of the creek,
And there we will go at the end
of the week,
! don't object to have people
look round,
To see where the best goods for
the least money are found.
l know that I cannot be under
sold,
However, if | say so, they think
am bold;
l want to treat every one fair
and square,
In this way l think I will get
my due share.
My business is built up on prac-
teal experience,
And spiced from the start with
true perseverance;
It's hard to start without any
money,
And those who have tried it
know it is not all honey.
The next week my customers
came back as expected,
Their tour of exploration they
had just perfected;
No where in these parts could
they do so well,
So they decided to come back
to G. G. KNELL.
They admitted that my styles
in every way did excel,
And there was more to select
from they could truly tell;
My stock entire was ahead Of
any they had seen,
For through every store over
there they had been.
To sell them now was as easy
as rolling a off log,
For the skies had got clear and
they were out of the fog;
They concluded hereafter it was
useless to look around,
For right here in Rock islam
to buy they were bound

OKLAHOMA.
Boomers Determined to Enter the
Promised Land.

ARKANSAS Cry, KAN, March 21.-
Gen. Hatch has just received word
by courier from the Sac and Fox
agency, $50 miles southeast of here,
that a large body of colonists passed
that point on the 18th inst, ell route
to Oklahoma, and that the main body,
consisting of about l50 persons, were
from Coiieyville, Kan. Capt. Tom
Deweese, with four companies of the
Ninth Cavalry, is already scouting in
that portion of the territory, and a
courier has been dispatched to him
to intercept this colony if possible be-
fore it reaches Oklahoma, and to turn
it back. Should the colony reach Ok
lahoma, it is understood their stock
will not be destroyed, but that they
will be compelled to leave. These
men left the Kansas line before Pres
ident Cleveland had issued this proc
lamation, and they know nothing
about it, but General Hatch believes
Deweese will be able to get between
them and the Oklahoma country by
forced marches and thus compel them
to turn about without even having
had a glimpse of the promised land.
Deweese, however, was, on the 18th
inst, 100 miles north Of the Sac and
Fox agency with his battalion and it
looks as if the colonists would beat
him in the race to the Cimarron riv-
or. or where il was intended to enter

Had he lived until this spring he
