Weather-crop Bulletin.

Weather-crop bulletin, No. q, Of the Kansas
weather service, in cooperation with the U. $.
signal service for the week ending July 26th.
PRECIPITATION. An average rainfall occurred
in the northern tier of counties east Of Republican
River, and in Douglas, johnson, WyandOtt, south
ern half of LeavenwOrth and northeastern half of
Miami. Over the rest of the state deficiency
occurs, which is quite marked diagonally across
the state from the northwest corner to the south
east corner, and is most decided in the extreme
southeast counties where no rain has fallen.
TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE. The tempera-
ture and amount of sunshine have ranged above
the average in the southeastern counties, below
the average in the northeastern counties, while
over the rest of the state they have been normal.
REsULTs.-In the western counties the recent
rains have brought the crops forward ropidly. The
conditions have improved somewhat in Mitchell,
Osborne and Rookie, but are not encouraging in
Ellsworth, Russell or Ellis. In the northeastern
counties the improved conditions continue I'M
abated and all crops fine
In the southeastern counties the week has
proved trying one for corn, much Of which Is
firing badly, while some is permanently injured;
prairie grass is also drying, compelling the farm
ers to begin moving to save their hay. In the
counties south of the Great Bend, listed corn is
doing well, nut corn put in with the planter is be-
ing touched.

Have you noticed those nice water melons, last
and this week, in Dodge City: They are all from
Fairview, rs usual Our town heads the procession.
Our people are taking little rest now, after
fighting the Kansas tumble weed for two or three
months
Mr. John Goodwne took ir the state conven-
ton, at Topeka, last week, but got home in time
10 pick big load of ripe melons this week for the
Dodge City market.
r. F. Hammond and Mr.. Lighter are working on
the new bridge ut Howell
MIR. and Mrs. Quincy Grant, assited by Chas.
Grant, the bridge contractors, gave a party last
Friday, about 40 people assembled from around
the country, Dodge City and Cimarron being also
represented, it was the intention to dance on the
bridge but it not being quite finished, the genial
host had dancing hoor put in one Of their mann
Outh tents, and dancing was kept up until day
light, only stopping long enough to give every body
time to fill up the inner man on the good things
furnished by the Miss Grant and Mrs. Grant
Everybody being so well pleased that it was voted
to repeat the dose, last Monday evening, and have
a dance on the bridge, at which time still more
people gathered and again were royaiy entertain
tanned by Mr. and Mrs. Grant
The bridge is finished and open for travel, and
unless We are greatly mistaken we have a strong
and well built structure, Of which Fairview can
well feel proud. Mr.. Reynolds our township trus-
tee deserves credit for the manner in which he
superintendent the construction of this bridge.
Our farmers may be seen in Dodge City every
day with farm produce.
c. d. Hand, of Concord, was in our township
looking after his interests, We understand he
has an eve on commissonershi of this district he
is good enough for our people.
Crops of all kind are growing splendid, and
should we have county fair, Fairview will take
the lead.
Candidates are around shaking hands.
Your correspondent took trip west through
Fairview township and Gray county, passed by
fields of corn, milett, sugar cane and other feed
but what struck us was that our farmers. or
number of them, do not plant more vegetables for
family Use, we passed fields Of corn Of 10 to 200
acres, of cane and millett OF 20 to 60 acres, but
when we looked for the fields of garden truck and
other good things intended for family use we
found little patches ofperhaps one-eight to one
half acres garden grown to weeds the little pO-
tatOe patches likewise, even if their corn fields
were free Of weeds. do not see the sense Of it,
feed for their horses and cows, and 20 little to
raise vegetables for their families, while every
body knows that one acre of garden truck well
taken care of, is worth much 10 or Is acres
of corn or mIlett, while horses and cows could
live on buffalo grass in case of being short on
feed, which grass may be useful for that purpose.
but can never take the place Of vegetables.

IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
How the AbOrigines and Half Breeds Treat
Themselves When Sick.

How the AbOrigines and Half-Breeds Treat
Themselves When Sick.
When one is sick or has suffered
bodily injury, no matter how grave,
his first thought is to call in an Indian
medicine woman" or ''brujo," as she
is called. This woman will make a
solution of the pressed leaves of some
plant, and will anoint the patient with
this and some oil, and will then sit by
the sufferers couch, burn incense and
sing medicine songs. with all the rela-
tives and friends present to join in the
chorus. The sickness may be con-
sumption, a deadly fever, smallpox, a
broken limb or any thing else, and
such is the treatment. 1t may be a
complaint in which the sick man needs
quiet and rest, but that makes no diff
ference; the noise is still kept up, and
the Indians imagination must be a
powerful one to cause him TO believe
that he is convalescing when the
remedy is pushing him fast to the
grave.
Not only is this the custom among
the Indians but also among the
''ladinos," mixed race of Spaniards
and Indians, occupying a better social
position than the mulatto, and who are
very proud of their white blood, and
would be insulted if called Indians. So
it may be regarded as certain that
when an Indian becomes actually ill,
like the ostrich, he is sure to die. 1t
may be surprise that the natives be-
lieve in the lamentations of these
medicine women when we know
that Central America was con-
quered by the Spaniards, that the
aboriginal worship was suppressed,
and that the Catholic religion
was propagated both by preaching and
fear of punishment. But though the
natives of to-day go to the churches
and claim to be Catholics, they are as
ignorant of any doctrine as they are
of the appearance of Broadway. Dur
ing the conquest, the country was over
run by priests, and the aborigines be-
came nominal Catholics; but the prop
agators did not any more succeed in
making them actually so than they did
with the dogs and birds of the coun-
try. Even as late as 1865 Spanish
sseaking priests were in religious
charge of Indian towns, preaching t0a
people of whose tongue they had no
knowledge and in a language which
their hearers could not understand.
An English resident of many years in
the country told me that he once asked
very prominent clergyman, now a
Bishop in Central America, why the
Indian language was not taught to
young priests whose duty it was to do
the teaching of the faith to the natives.
who did not understand Spanish. The
reply was ''that such a knowledge of
the Indian tongue would, of course, be
an advantage, but on the whole he did
not think that the Indians needed any
teaching. "-M 7. Times.

great people on earth, world-renowned
people. No. They taught in a ragged
school. Taught in a ragged school! Is
that all! That is all. Who are those
souls waving scepters Of eternal domin.
ion: Why, they are little children who
waited ON invalid mothers. That all. That
is all. She was called Little Mary" on
earth. She is an empress now. Who are
that great multitude on the highest thrones
of Heaven: Who are they: Why they
fed the hungry, they clothed the naked,
they healed the sick. they comforted the
heart-broken. They never found any rest
until they put their head down on the
pillow of the sepulcher. God watched
them. God laughed defiance at the ene-
mics who put their heels hard down on
these, His dear children; and one day the
Lord struck His hand so hard On His thigh
that the omnipotent sword ratified in the
buckler, as he said: 81 am their God, and
no weapon formed against them shall
prosper" What harm can the world do
you when the Lord Almighty with un-
sheathed sword fights for you:
l preach this sermon for comfort. Go
home to the place just where God has put
you, to play the hero or the heroine. Do
not envy any man his money. or his ap-
plause, or his social position. Do not envy
any woman her wardrobe or her exquisite
appearance. Be the hero or the heroine.
If there be no -four in the house and you
do not know where your children are to
get bread, listen and you will hear some
thing tapping against the widow-pane.
Go to the window and you will find it is
the beak of a raven, and open the window
and there will fly in the messenger that
fed Elijah. Do you think that the God who
grows the cotton of the South will let you
freeze for lack of clothes: Do you think
that the God who allowed His dis
ciples on Sunday morning to go into
the grain field and then take the
grain and rub it in their hands and eat
do you think God will let you starve? Did
you ever hear the experience of that old
man. 81 have been young, and now am
old, yet have l never seen the righteous
forsaken or his seed begging bread:" Get
up out of your discouragement, o troubled
soul! o, sewing woman, o man kicked
and cuffed by unjust employers, o We who
are hard beset in the battle of life and
know not which way to turn, o you bereft
one, o you sick one with complaints you
have told to no one, come and get the COM
fort of this subject. Listen to our great
Captains cheer: "To him that overcometh

life, which is in the midst of the paradise

How Quinine is Extracted.

The Government of India has pub
lished for the information of the pub
lie, through the Bulletin of the Royal
Gardens, Kew, some particulars of the
new process Of extracting quinine from
the cinchOna bark by means of oil. By
the aid of this process. perfected lately
by Mr.. Canine, it is found possible to
utilize the Calisaya or yellow bark va
riety, and to extract from it the whole
of its Quinine in q form indistinguish=
able chemically or physically from the
best brands of European manufacture.
and this so cheaply that not merely
in times like the present of depressed
markets, but at all periods, it will not
cost the Government more than twea-
ty-fve rupees per pound. Should all
the expectations which this important
discovery has awakened be realized. it
is believed that it will lead to the sub
stitution Of India-man4factured quiz
nine for the febrifuge in the hospitals
and dispensaries of India, and as q nee
essary consequence to the substitution
of yellow bark for red bark in the Six
kim plantations.-PaH Mall Gazette.
