WARNING FROM GOV. MARTIN.

Governor Martin publishes in his paper,
the Atchison Champion, the following:
The Leavenworth saloons will save their
propretors trouble by going. The people
of the state have again served notice on
them, and the governor and attorney gen
eral propose to devo'e their special atten-
ton to the Leayenworth saloons. If the
law is not effective enough to close them
it will be strengthened as soon as tie legls-
lature meets If no other measure will be
effective metropolitan police bill will be
adopted for Leavenworth. The people of
Kansas have no disposition to superccde
local governments anywhere, but if the To-

law breaking and nullify the laws Of the
state, the state will exert its power against

THE TRUE FOUNDATION.

Are cities built Of brick and stone,
OF homes and stores and boards o. Il q 1e-
Are these the things Of which alone
A great metropolis is made!
Is it a scene of splendid streets,
OF busy trade and commerce marts,
OF colleges and churches fine,
And fountains and of noble parks
Are these the things of which are made
The thriving cities that now stand,
An inpex of the pride and worth
OF all that's noble in land!
All, these are not the things, indeed,
On which all sterling cities rest;
They're builded up alone upon
The honor in a merchants breast.
On words of men that weigh like gold,
Whose names are bright without flaw;
The words of men who hardly know
The meaning of suit at law!
No failure can such cities know;
Their march is onward all the time,
And in their streets no grass will grow,
Nor on their scales, mildew or CRIME.
To such good men will point and say
Behold what business honor's done!
COMMERCIAL HONOR built it up
And it will hold the place it's won.
Not 1t is neither bricks nor stones
That builds city proud and great,
But business honOr-that alone
Will give it high commercial state!

PRATT CENTEB BRIEFS.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Your correspondent visited this thriving
| young city last week and was pleased to
find the many evidences of growth and
prosperity to be seen by the large number
Of new residences, churches and other
buildings that have been erected during the
past year Pratt Center is one of the
leading cities in the county, and its trade
has grown wonderfully during the past two
years with the large increase of population
in the territory surrounding it, and also
through the large immigration west of it,
which has been rushing into the south
western counties at 2:40 gait for the past
two years The new buildings which
have been finished during the past year and
those now in course of erection are as fol-
lows: -Four churches, very large and
handsome school building which cost S.
500, and solid stone -and brick business
| block. The city also can be proud of her
banking institutions, of which there are
three, the Bank of Pratt, Gus Carlander,
cashier; Farmers and Merchants bank, J.
W. Wilcox, cashier, and Hutchinson
Brothers bank. The press is also we'll
represented by the lively papers, the Pratt
County TTi,ne-. -, =, Ludstrom & Merton;
the Pratt County Press, ty A. Z. Thomas,
and the Pratt County Register. by Dilds

of the jury which tried the case was not

Hearev CATTLE Lnss-

A eattleman just returned from North
Montana states that the Neidringhaus
drive of cattle from this country to
British Columbia has proved a disas-
trous failure to the st. Louis cattl
syndicate, of which Mr.. Neidringhaus is
u prominent member. For time the
drive consisted of 10000 head of cattle,
prospered finely. but as the unusually
dry sessou in Montana progressed the
grass became scarcer and streams of
water fewer and farther between, the
stock began to weaken and fall by the
wayside, finally dying by hundreds.
The herder even suffered great prlva-
ton for water, and so desperate did the
situation become when nearing the
British line that Mr.. Neidringhaus
ordered the drive abandoned and the
herders to reach the Northern Pacific
railroad as best they e0ulds The scene
about the drive was most pitiable one.
The cattle were reduced 10 skin and
bones and were so weak from fatigue
and want of nJurishment that they
would stand still and then fall IN their
tracks and die. a cold. dry, piercing
wind which was sweeping over the
country did much to complete the stu
ation. Catt.emen are OF the opinion
that the syndicate will not have two
hundred head of stock next spring out
of the immense herd driven from this
country. Their loss in this case Will
reach $3.50, 900.

Manuring Wheat

There is often, during the latter part
of the summer, time to haul out manure
that has accumulated while the impOr.
tant work OF cultivating and harvesting
has been going on. 1t can be carried
out and spread upon the stubble land
and then plo Ned under. Or it may be
hauled after the soil has been plowed,
and worked into the surface by harlow
ing. Flowing the manure under places
the greater part of it too deep In the
soil to be reached by the feeding roots
of the plants, and the application fails
10 benefit the first crop as 1t should. By
the time q second blowing is given
much of the soluble part will have been
lost. The natural course of the soluble
portions of manure is downward. If
applied on the serface, the moisture
win draw il into the soil. To obtain the
greatest benefit IN the shortest time, it
is best to draw out after the ground has
been ploWed. Scatter di. ect from the
wagon as evenly as possible, and then
harrow thoroughly 10 work into the
soil. This leaves the manure where the
feeding roots of the plants can readily
reach it.. Manure can nearly always be
applied to wheat prOftsbly. Where
there is q supply on hand it should be
hauled out and scattered as early as
practicable after the ground is plowed.

Stirring the Soil.

There Is something more in stirring
the soil than keeping down grass and
weeds. Not a blade of grass should be
allowed to grow out of place, it is true,
nor should weeds be given the slightest
chance; but while the lOosening of the
soil assists in destroy ing such intfuders.
vet the real benefits are d.rived from
the air AID rains. When the soil
becomes hard and compact the air and
heat cannot enter, and when a SHOVE T
falls, unless it lasts long enough to
completely soften the upper crust, the
water required by the plants runs off
and no benefit Is aimed. By keeping
the earth loose the heat goes down and
surplus water evaporateS. Should a
shower fall the water soaks in and q
large quantity is secured compared Will
the soil that is compact. The ar is the
great agent that causes the chem.Ca
.ecOmpositiOn of soils, and it also dis
Integrates and renders soluble the plant
food. If the air cannot enter the soh
the substances that should Oe apJroprl-
ated by plants remain inert, and but
slowly perform tne work that should Ue
done quickly. There is another point
which is overlooked. The roots OF
plants have large feeding surface when
the earth is loose. Ii Is com pact, al
the roots are compelled 10 push through
the soil slowly and with effort. it is a
loss of much energy, that Is in the one
sense wasted, for the physical force
expended in one direction is lost,
instead of being applied where the
greatest ben, fit might have been
OBJ aimed. In stirring the soil, therefore,
many advantages are secured. The
rooIs have greater feeding capacity, q
larger amount of moisture is secured,
the air penetrates deeper, and the heat
is more rea lily converted into force.

cultivate always after escn ralR.
