| TOPEKA, Kansas, Sept. l6, 1886
Dear Sir:
Thinking your many readers
would be glad to hear from Kansas, and to
hear from former Pennsylvania, l would
inform them, that when came To Topeka,
fifteen years ago, it WAS town with pop
ulaiion of s,00O, scattered over the pararie,
and mo ney was scarce at 25 per cent. But
the people willingly paid that high rate OF
interest Now, Topeka is . town with a
population OF 5000, and money can be bor-
rowei at from to II per c. mt. There are
two colleges in the place, second to none
in the country, and when the Female Sem
inary, now being constructed, Is complet-
ed il will be the largest female seminary in
the country. One reason our schools and
colleges are so well attended is that the
high altitude and dry atmosphere of this
vicinity make very healthy students. Our
town is improving very much this year and
erected. The business men are enlarging
their rooms or having new buildings built.
The wheat crop will not be more than
one-half Of last years crop, but the corn
crop is Immense, aud we never fear frosts
here. The great crop OF Kansas is the as-
tive grass which cares On the stock, and is
as good as hay tor feeIing stock.
Why the President drove the cattle men
out OF the Indian Reservation We do not
understand, as they paid the Indians over
two hundred thousand dollars a year, and
as the Indians are too lazy TO use the land
thems elves. This action of the President
cut the beef product of the country, short,
about one million of becves per snnum.
But the government will have to AXE good
to the cattlemen two hundred thousand
lola rs.
would like to see some of your Pennsyl-
vania veterans come ont and attend our
Reunions, which will take place from Sep
TEN 29th, to Octo ber LIST. Fifty thousand
veterans have pro missed to be- present. The
Presbyterian syno meets here soon, with
four hundred m embers, and the United
States Temperance Union will also meet
here shortly. SO that We will have plenty oi
strangers. But we always try to make
strangers comfortable, and are used to
crowds
| We had very fine rains recently, and ev-
erything in the way of crops is fiourishing
Wstermellons as large as a man can carry ,
for a dime, cantaloups, three for dime.
One day last week We shipped eighty car
loads of cattle from here. There are four
elevators and mills in the place that aver
age four hundred barrels of Hour per day
/ noticed building that is Immense in size
and covers acres OF ground. | will learn
its capacity and may say more aboutit then.
