For Sunstroke.-In cases Of pros
tration from heat or sunstroke remove
the person to cool, shady place.
Loosen his clothing. Let the bystand-
ers rub the arms and legs with pieces of
ice wrapped in towels until the excess
sive heat of surface is allayed. Give
twenty drops of aromatic spirits of harts-
horn in little water every twenty min
utes or half hour. No effert to rise or
walk should be allowed till the person
is quite restored. Hartshorn is said to
be better than brandy in cases of sun
stroke.

Harvest.-Farmers in this neigh
borhood are pretty generally in the
midst of their wheat harvest, some bav-
ing commenced last Monday, others on
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and a
few are not yet started. The crop will
be rather light one, though some Of
the farmers will have an average yield.
The wheat is much better in this end Of
the county than in the southern, and
better than it is farther down the Val
ley. We have heard of no scarcity of
harvest hands, owing, probably, to the
fact that many farmers have self-bind-
ers, and consequently need no increase
of force. Harvest is few days later
this year than last year.

William Pritchard, living near Hoff-

alighted in the sow's pen, the animal
made for it open-mouthed, when the To-
Gust few into its mouth, and stopping
the hogs windpipe, killed the valuable
animal in ten minutes. The sow's death
was so mysterious as TO induce post

Serious Shooting Afrny.-C

siderable excitement was created in
Martinsburg last Friday by the shooting
and wounding in four places of Robert
Thompson by Charles Woods. The
trouble seems to have been caused by
the too frequent visits paid by Thomp-
son to the house of Woods during the
latter's absence, although warned to de-
sist by Woods. On Friday Thompson
approached the house of Woods, and
during an alteration between the two
men an assault ensued, during which
Woods fired upon Thompson and in
ficted four bullet wounds from 81
calibre revolver. Two of the wounds
are in the arm, one in the chest and one
near the hip. 1t is thought that Thomp-
son will die. Woods was at once arrest
ed and is now in Jail. The sympathy
seems to be with the imprisoned man.

A prominent attorney, while looking up
information in the clerks Office yesterday,
remarked to reporter who happened in
there at the time, that the system under
which the records were kept in that Office
was the best in tie United States. He stat
ed that information could be obtained in a
few minutes in that Office that would require
a search of one or two days In an Office of
the old system. This excited the curiosity
of the reporter, and an examination of the
books disclosed system so thorough and
simple that there could be no improvement.

ELECTRIC LIGHT.

There hsve been a number of efforts made
within the past few months BY parties to
obtain permission of the city to construct q
system of electric lights for Wichita At
the last meeting of the city council F. S.
Heffernan & Co. offered to furnish electric
lamps, 1000 candle power, across the inter-
section of the main streets Of the city, giving
lights in four different directions at the
same time; or, to erect lights 100 feet high,
as the case might be, for what they claim q
reasonable compensation. They proposed
to give twenty electric lights so placed for
$500 per snnum, and SIPS for each addi-
tional light required. The city council
took no action in the matter other than TO
refer il to the gas committee for report.

WICHITA AND FORT SMITH.

A reporter interviewed prominent Ar
kansas citizen from Fort Smith yesterday,
in reference TO the sentiment of the people
in that city in relation TO building the pro-
posed line, uniting the two cities. Among
other things, he said: "The people of
Wichita Do not wholly appreciate the ad-
vantages such road would be to this city
or the southern portion of Kansas. II
would open up a large territory of fine tim
Der lands at a very short distance from the
southern border of your state, the lumber
of which is now of 10 intrinsic value. At
Fort Smith and southeast TO the Mississippi
river, large quantities of lumber, both oak
and pine, can be loaded on cars at from Sc
to $40 per thousand. Then, again, Fort
Smith is in the center of some of the finest
coal beds in the United States, and for that
alone tine building of this road would be an
important factor in advancing the interests
of southern Kansas"
In speaking of the advantages to Wichita,
which would result from the building of
this road, he said:
"a direc: line from Wichita to Fort
Smith would complete the Arkansas VAL
ley road from Wichita to che Mississippi
river at point forty miles below the
mouth of the Arkansas river, at point on
the great river below freezing point and
below all bars that impede navigation, and
that too. at about the distance from Wichi-
ia to ST. Louis, providing a market for the
grain, pork and stock, products in the cot
ton belt that is now supplied from the Up
per Mississippi Valley. In return for these
products of Kansas the lumber and tropical
products would return direct, to meet the
wants of this country. A residence in the
state Of Arkansas has convinced
me that the Arkansas Valley Rail-
road from Wichita to the Mississippi river,
running through varied soil, climate and
products of coal and timber, will be the
most useful and benifcent factor in the de-
velopment of this productive valley that
can be conceived"
On an inquiry of the reporter as to the
feeling of the people at Fort Smith in re-
gard to this road, he said:
"The people of Fort Smith will use
every eneeavor to have their representatives
act in congress to procure the right Of way
through the nation on the assembling Of
congress. They understand the importance
of having this road extended into the rich
agricultural grain-lands of Kansas, and will
use all their energies for its accomplish
ment."
The reporter asked if Wichita was the
point e, which tie people of Fort Smith
aimed as terminus of the road, to which
be replied:
sour people understand well enough that
Wichita is now and forever will be the
metropolis of Kansas, and certainly will
not favor any other point; in fact, it is the
anchor on which we base our hopes. No
other point in Kansas would answer but the
aatropalie
