Our Kansas Letter.


you and my many friends in Brock
way would be pleased to learn OF
any welfare, and as | have q few
moments to spare this morning l
embrace the opportunity to write
few lines for publication in your
much valued paper.
My health has been rather poor
for some time past but am feeling
much better to-day. My nervous
system seemed all unstrung and l
have had distressing pain in my
chest in company with q futtering
sensation about the heart. / have
learned that a great many coming
here from the north pass through
the same experience some time after
arriving.
! can say that / still like Kansas.
Sitting in the window writing, | lift
my eyes and behold natures beauty.
On either side of the pathway lead
ing to the road are beautiful flowers
and roses blooming and fragrant. A
half dozen birds are perched on the
evergreens and shrubbery warbling
their sw eel songs. Beyond the way
is a meadow, its rich growth of
green waving in the pleasant breeze
of summer, with the orb of nature
shining down on it in sweet reful-
gence. Now the sun is hid beneath
a passing cloud and part of the field
is in the shade, which will soon pass
over the whole. (Reminding me of
the field of life, some are in the shade
while others are enjoying the sun
lightly Looking into the distance
behold rolling country with groves
and orchards forming rich masses of
green, globular and octagon in form
Those who refuse to look through
nature, up to natures God, who
prefer to worship nature, naming it
their God, would do well to set up
affairs on the mounds of Kansas.
The wheat crop prospect in this
part of the state is at present poor,
almost failure, in fact, in many
districts a total failure. The pros.
pect for heavy crop of oats and
grass is good. Corn is poor, great
many are planting now the third
time. The seed seemed TO have been
injured by the severe winter SO that
it did not come up. They are plant
ing an earlier variety now. They

Kansas half chance and she will
produce crop" a terrible tragedy
occurred in this city about two weeks
ago. A young and very highly re-
spected man, through disappoint-
ment in love affair, put four bullets
into the body of his rival while
treating the young lady to a glass of
soda water. Then shot himself
through the heart. Great excitement
prevailed for one or two days about
the matter.

five miles from this city, the other
nine miles from Topeka. Am gett-
ing along nicely. The people are
very kind to me. recognizing my
desire 10y carefulness and hard
study to prepare myself for useful

Love for party is fading away and
love for Christ and my fellow men is
daily growing stronger.
The season has been, up to the
present time, unusually wet, making
it unfavorablc for preachers as well
as others. With best desires for the
success and prosperity of all the
