Ellis and Trego Notes.

"Young Quaker'' in Abilene Gazette, %.
Several hundred country people came
in to Ellis to see the circus, but no circus
appeared. The Smoky Hill river was
high, and they were in wagons, SO they
could not cross. So the old folks who
came to take the little ones, did not get
to see the elephant.
George Cross lost little child from
the whooping cough day before yester-
day, and it was buried in the Ellis GEM
etery. The parents have the sympathy
of the people of Ellis.
The state veterinary surgeon has con-
demned several horses in Hays City
that have the CHAMBERS. This is a terrible
disease, and we hope it may not become
general throughout this part of the state.
Two life insurance men from the east
have canvassed Ellis, and most of our
young men had their lives insured in
favor of the ones they loved best.
G. J. Collyer returned to Ellis yester-
day from a short visit to his family in
Collyer.

next 8 innings were whitewash on each
side; at the 18th inning, the Wa-Keeneys
made one score; the 9Th inning was a
whitewash on each side; the 9th inning
the Ellis boys made scores. The Wa
Keeney nine was composed as follows:
Stebbins, c. f.; Quivie, LIST b.; Palmer,
p.; Pofenberger. Sd b.; Lewis, 6. g.; Van
Doren, l. t.; Jackson, I'd b.; Black, f.
The Wa-Keeney boys returned on the
9:28 train, and were met by the band,
and escorted to Eden's eating house,
where very acceptable reception was
given. The boys express much gratitude
for the manner in which they were re-
ceived, and praise the ability of Messrs.
Miller, Porter, Cunningham, Morgan and
Sam. 81. Kelly in making a pleasant oc-
casion for them.

Injured Seriously.

Close to shutdown on Thursday, Chas.
Echland was leaving town for home. He
was driving pair of horses, which were
not very gentle, to rickety light wagon.
When on the road between DR.. Conger's
and the railroad track, he was running
the team at break-neck speed. Sudden
ly the team DETECTED southwark from the
road. The driver kept along the road,
striking the ground hard enough to
fracture the internal malicious and the
external malicious of the right ankle.
DR.. Jones, his physician, pronounces the
injury worse than the outright breaking
of the leg. Echland is said to have been
drinking. He was treating the team un-
mercifully, at all events. He lives in the
Ogallah neighborhood.

WONDERFUL WESTERN KAN
SAS.
An Account of the Peculiar Ca
pability of the Soil.

You have only to believe the sprightly
little daily paper down the road, which
goes by the name of the Abilene Gazette,
in order to discover, in what follows, one
of the most remarkable soil productions
on record. Only one mysterious feature
seems to hover about the case. This is
to discover the impelling motive in the
Gazette's relating this story if it is not
true in every particular. It dawns,
therefore, upon the hand that drags this
pen, that the Gazette probably speaks
from personal knowledge, and that the
woman in the narrative was possessed, to
the knowledge of that editor, of a suf-
ficient amount of dirt on her feet to as
sist in producing, on philosophical
grounds, the result SO graphically de-
lineated in these words:
A representative of the Gazette met a
citizen of western Kansas a short time
since, who took him to his palatial dug
out, and introduced him to his wife. In
course of a conversation on the fertility
of the soil in that section of the state, the
farmer remarked, "You observe that one
of my wife's limbs is good deal longer
than the other?" eyes," said the
stranger. "Well," continued the enthu-
siastic Kansan, "that is very striking
proof of the fertility of the soil in this
country. I will explain what I mean.
When we built this dugout, with this
dirt floor, my wife got in the habit Of sit
ting cross legged on stool, with one
foot resting on this floor. She kept up
that thing for a term OF years, and the
soil is so rich that her foot and leg be-
gan to grow, and it has kept on growing
until now it is four inches longer than
the other. She now reverses her position
and keeps the other foot on the floor, in
hopes that it too will grow, 80 that both
limbs will, after awhile, be of the same
length. It's wonderful rich soil, by
golly," said the enthusiast.

opened the morning services, and it was
noticeable that the number of protesting
Christians has greatly increased in this
locality by recent immigration. Next
came regular services with an interesting
sermon by Elder Stolz from Isa- 1913,
but which did not hold attention to the
extent his afternoon sermon did. Then
he spoke from I Sam'L 17:45, and though
announcing that the service was an un-
expected one to him and that he had not
prepared for it, his enthusiasm kindled
while, as a comrade, he addressed those
who had defended their country in time
of danger. The members of 10 invited
Post and Corps, who failed to attend,
missed mental feast. Rev. J. G. Elliott
preached in the evening from Cor.
15:49, and with that service closed sue
cessful and interesting series of religious
meetings.

efe OF to his betrothed, whose dissp.
pointed parent gave him great trouble
oeiore he could dispossess her of the
house and furniture. Resuming his
military life, he was captured in the
summer OF 1760 and sent prisoner to
New York. His account of that place
and what befell him there is interesting
ana curious. Being sent to France with
olner prisoners, he rejoined his family,
and, at length, growing old, put his
story upon record, apparently about the
end OF the last century. As historical
evidence. the value of his work is small.
Even in the events of which he was HIM
self part, his memory is often at fanlt,
and where he tells of what he did not
see, his story is worthless. Even in his
own "reminiscences, men and events are
sometimes confused by the lapse of time.
His first military experience was on
the expedition sent by the Marquis
Duquesne in 1853 to occupy the Upper
Ohio. He accompanied the party, how
ever, no further than Presquile, having
been sent with detachment to Detroit
and Lake Huron. In the next year he
was one of the party that drove Ensign
Ward from the forks of the Ohio and
built Fort Duquesne. He was at this
place when Jumonville was killed and
his men captured by Washington, but
he adds very little to what is known of
that affair, except some particulars
about the Canadian who escaped the
fate of the rest. He was also one of the
force under Villiers who defeated WASH
ington at Fort Necessity. HIS account
answers pretty well to the French con-
temporary reports. none of which, how
ever, give the number of Indians who
accompanied the expedition. This 1T.
G. B. puts at SEQ, which, if true,
makes the total French force upward OF
900, against about $50 under Washing
ton.
He gives horribly minute account
of the torture of English prisoners by
the Indians at Fort Duquesne in the
summer of 1855. He was present at
the scene, which seems to have left an
indelible impression upon him. He
not only puts the defeat of Braddock in
the wrong year, but his account of it is
extremely short and unsatisfactory,
adding nothing to what is already
known. though he says that he took
part in it He seems impartial IN his
which sometimes tell against
his own countrymen. Thus, he declares
that at the battle of Lake George the
whole French force was killed or taken,
while in fact the greater part escaped.
His ambition to make book has led
him to sacrifice rare opportunities Of
leaving behind him q record of personal
observations which might have been Of
great interest and value. He apollo
gizes for having so much to say about
what he himself saw and did, but his
real fault is in adding any thing else

In the matter of rearing queens. there
are two methods, which we win style

In raising queens artiicially there ara
several ways, of which the following il

order to save her. take out frame of
Matching brood and adhering bees at the

posed queen in new hive and in new
location. You can build this up to any
strength by inserting frames Of brood
from other colonies. The colony left
queenless will at once start number OF
queen cells, visible in three or four days.
It is hardly necessary. in this enlight-
ened day of ours, to state that the young
queens thus forming are reared from
eggs that would otherwise have Matched
worker bees had not the queen been re-
moved. At the end of eight days the
queen cells formed will be capped
over, eight days more. or six

will hatch out perfect queens.
