Horse Thieves Caught.

Some time ago word was received
here that two horses had been stolen
from the Southwestern Land and Cattle
Co., and Officer Tate has been on the
look out for them. On last Tuesday
he got word that man by the name of
Bush had been arrested at Great Bend,
and as this. by the description, was the
man wanted, he left for there at once.
After getting there he heard that Bush
had sold some horses to farmer about
25 miles north of Great Bend, and going
there he found the horses stolen from
the Cattle Co.
Mr., Tate brought his prisoner to
Dodge, and his trial came up yesterday
before United States Commissioner
Cook. Great credit is due to Sheriff
Tate for the fine detective work done
in this case.-Dodge City Democrat.
If we are not mistaken all the credit
in the above capture is due to Sheriff
Frank Wilson, of this county, as it was
through his prompt and sagacious action
the man was arrested in the first place,
and through his belief that the man
was "croOk" of the worst kind, and
his determination to find where he
hailed from that the thief was traced
to the vicinity of Dodge and the au-
thorities there made aware of the cap
ture. Honor to whom honor is due.

Kansas Corn.

The average production of bushels of
corn per year for1llinois is 265, 900, 600;
for Iowa, 22O, 100000; Missouri. ILL.,
600 900; Kansas, 141 900, 900; Indiana,
al 900, 900; Ohio, 134 500, 900; Ne
braska, 90.OOO,OOO.
These are the seven states ranking
highest, and together they produce
from one-half to tWo-thirds of the total
corn product of the United States, and
much abused Kansas ranks fourth in
thirty-eight states.
1t must be borne in mind that since
1879 hundreds of thousand of acres
have been added to the corn area in
both Kansas and Nebraska: increasing
the total production very largely, Kan
sas, retaining its rank, while Nebraska,
at least since 1880, ranks fifth, OF next
to Kansas. AS the greater portion of
this new corn land lies west of the 9th
parallel, we can easily note its influence
by continuing the Kansas table down
to date. These are the figures or Kan
sas alone:
The total production of bushels of
corn for 1884 was 100, $40. .686; for 1885.
III, $50, ,703; for 1856, 139, ,569,13 The
average total production for the three
years was 169 ,263 ,607 bushels, or 28,-
600, 900 per annum more than the aver
age of the five preceding years.
Do not these figures conclusively re-
pute the statement that Kansas is not
a corn state? The truth is that Kan
sas alone grows about one-tenth of the
total production of the United States
