A writer on Kansas, opens with the
following remarks: "Kansas, where
wonders cease to astonish-where
prairie seas of verdure once trodden by
buffalo, now pasture countless herds
of cattle. Where wheat has . royal
record and corn is king. Where peace
means plenty. Where orchards and
garden products command good prices.
Where golden opportunities await the
agriculturalist. Where are millions of
acres of free lands. Where immigra-
ton is fruitful, multiplies and replen-
ishes the earth. Where tho Arcadian
center of the Northern American states
are located. Where are churches,
schools and happy homes. Where en-
ergy-the poor mans capital, is pro-
perly invested.

BEHIND THE TIMES.

The Ford Gazette says: ''Thd Dodge
City Globe is not in favor of herd law.
We are sorry of this, but the Globe is
generally on the right side of local
questions and should be forgiven for
this one time
Substituting the word ''seldom" for
general" in the above, the proposition
meet our approval.
In reply to the Gazette, Frost says ::
ave candidly believe that if herd law
is adopted in Ford county at this time
that it will be positively detrimental to
the best interests of the county, the
dairy and stock interest. We as yet
have too much uncultivated land in the
county to adopt such law. Every acre
not cultivated should be utilized for
grazing purposes.
In other words the Globe maintains
its old position, favoring the stockmen,
and against the farmer 1t ignores the
fact that the farmer has come, and the
cowboy and Texas steer has gone. 1t
overlook the homesteader and the far
mer. AMI has an eve single to the inter-
ests of the catteman and therange. In
other words the Globe is not and never
has been in sympathy with the farmers
of Ford county. Entirely dissenting
from the position taken by the Globe,
we maintain that the time has come
when the best interests of Ford county
demand the protection of herd law.
1t is a principle of common law not
generally understood, that the farmer is
not obliged to build fences to protect
his crops. but that the owner of stock is
obliged by law to keep them from
trespassing. The crop interests are
many. and to be found in all sections
of the county; the stock interests are
few. and by no means general. 1t is
the rghs of the many against the priv
ilege of the few that We would see pro-
tected by the herd law. The expense
of heraing the comparatively small
amount Of stock owned in the county is
substantially nothing compared with the
cost of protecting growing crops and
trees from destruction by cattle roam
ing at will.
We quite agree with the idea that
~every acre not cultivated should be util-
lied for grazing purposes" but the un.
occupied lands are, at present, far in
excess of the amount required to pas
ture the present number of cattle, and
hence we favor the herd law.

IF the townships of Fairview and
RichlanG do not vote in favor of bonds
for the completion of the Dodge City,
Montezuma & Trinidad railroag now
they may rest assured the road will be
built from some point south of them,
ana they will miss for years and per-
haps for ever, the opportunity of get
ting a railroad near them.

ID. NJ. & Il. II. r. BONDS.

The question of voting bonds by
Fairview and Richland townships fol-
the construction of the Dodge City,
Montezuma & Trinidad railroad is one
in which the people very properly are
taking deep interest 1t seems very
probable the proposition will carry, and
we think it should.
The following agreement has been
fled with the county clerk, and made a
part of the proposition:
To THE VOTERS OF FAIRvIEw AND
RIcHLAND TOWNSHIPS, FORD CoUN-
TY, KANSAS:
There having been certain reports and
rumors circulated to the effect that the
Dodge City, Montezuma & Trinidad
Railway, when completed would be op-
Grated in the interest of or controlled by
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail
way Co.
As pledge to the voters of the above
named townships, as president of the
Dodge City, Montezuma & Trinidad Rail
way Co., promise them in case the bonds
asked for IN said townships are voted
and said road is completed, that.it shall
he neither owned, operated, or controlled
by the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe rail
way company or operated in the interest
of said company.
l further promise to voters of said
townships in case bonds are voted and
any of the citizens or voters of said town
ships desire work upon the grade of said
railway. and will do so on the same
terms and at the same price that any
other laborers can be procured, that they
shall have the preference right to work
thereon while the grading is being done
Dodge City, Montezuma & Trinidad
railway Co. r. R. HUDSON,
President
Dodge City; Kansas, FEBRUARY 18th.
1888.
This agreement is one many of the
taxpayers wished made; and it is put in
plain and unmistakable language, which
certainly should satisfy every voter.
The company further agree to push the
road on to the coal fields of Colorado as
rapidly as men and money will build it.
The company has recently received a
very liberal proposition from residents
of the southern part of the county, offer
ing to bond the townships provided the
line will run east from Montezuma and
make junction with the Rock Island at
point in the southern part of the
county. If this change should be made
the road would miss Dodge City entirely,
which We as tax payers certainly cannot
afford.

DuD-en Tuesday Feb. 21st at O'Clock p. N.
at her home in Ensign, Gray county, Kansas
Mary Kale. wife Of John R. Kale-aged - years
and - days. Her last sickness WAS brief, but
attattsnded with great suheringf, yet borne with
fortitsde and resignation. Her mother, Mrs..
Hoop, from Greenfield. Adsir Co., Iowa; brother
from Haskell, Kansas, and . sister, Mrs.. Newton
from Udall, arrived but . short time before her
Spirit took ito fight. To her relatives and friends
she manifested great kindness, although not able
to converse intellisibly, which ceased but with
the last moments Of her life. Her berisvsd and
Borrowing husband feels that he hae lost devoted
and anectionate wife. Nay the grass be green
upon her silent grave, and - she sleeps the long
the long dreamless sleep which has no waking ;
may the flowers, which she loved 70 we'll, bloom
and blossom over it, a. we trust her immortal
Spirit may bloom and blossom in the Paradise Of
God.
1t seems but few days since that gentle ono
Was in her youthful bloom;
But now they've laid her down to r,st.
Low In the narrow tumb.
That soft and tender, LOVING voice
Il still for aye in death;
Those loving eyes forever close!
And hushed the Abortng breath.
And when they told me she must die,
Deep thoughts came DER my soul,
maTveled much that one 20 loved,
Must yield to Deaths control.
And - 1 unused, . still small voice
heard, in whisper low
Whate'er do, ye know not now;
Hereafter ye shall know.
What though the wintry bowling winds,
Sigh DER the new made tomb;
She sleeps IS peacefully beneath,
Al when the roses bloom.
Dear mourners: trust your darling ono
with Him who doeth well;
In hope to meet around His throne
Forever moro to dwell.
