Bombastic Boyd Finds Another
Mares Nest.

The editor Of the Logan Freeman
has found another mares nest. He
claims to have written to the Adiutant
General of New York for the purpose
of inquiring as to whether or not DR..
Wallace enlisted as a soldier from
that State, and he says that he has
received a letter stating that the name
of Hugh Wallace does not appear on
the record of the company referred to.
OF course it does not We could have
informed Mr.. Boyd of that fact had
he referred to US, and thus have saw
ed him the trouble of writing. The
truth is that when DR.. Wallace enlist
ed he was but a mere lad, being only
Is years of age His father was
strongly opposed to his going into the
service on account of his tender years,
and the boy had to run away from
home and enlist under an assumed
name, in order to escape the vigilant
eye of his father. He therefore enlist
ed under the name Of Hugh Miller
Miller was his mothers maiden name.
If Brother Boyd has any doubt about
DR.. Wallace and Hugh Miller being
one and the same person, let him
write to Capt o. e. Hines, or Capt.
Geo. L. Kenyon, or Lieut.. William
Pollard, all of Yates Center, Broome
county, n. Y, their last known post
office address. We have seen DR..
Wallace's discharge and find that he
was enrolled on the LIST day of De
cember, 1862, and that he was honor
ably discharged on the 18th day of
June. 1865. If it was crime for the
little blue-eyed Scotch boy to run
away from home and under an assum-
ed name to enlist and serve his adopt
ed country for nearly three years,
then he has indeed committed a
grievous sin; but on the contrary, il
the giving of his boyhood years to the
service of his country was but an err
rOr of the head, and not of the heart
then indeed should his action be com
mended by every old soldier in the
county, and Mr.. Boyd should certain
| ly not be the only exception. The
editor of the Freeman is barking uE
the wrong tree, and he will have tt
try some other tack. DR.. Wallace's
soldier record is al right, and dom
you forget it!

''The estimates show that the value.
of the corn crop will be $5O,O00,000,
of the wheat crop 100000, and of
the cereals $4,000, 600, making a total
of S9OO000OO These figures are
likely to increase rather than denim
ish, on account of the reported short
age in other grain producing coun-
trIes. In Dakota the wheat crop is
said to be an almost total failure, and
in India and Russia, two Of the great
est wheat producing countries in the
world, the crop is short. Kansas is
therefore especially blessed in her
magnificent crops this year. They
come at a time when they viii give
Kansas one of the greatest boOms
ever known in the history of the
State. They will enable the farmers,
who have been contending with the
obstacles which always follow the de-
velopement Of a comparatively new
state to make a fresh start unincum-
bered by the necessary obligations
which many Of them have been com
PEELED to assume. The result will be
felt all over Kansas in increased de
velopement and accelerated progress.
The saying that when farmers have
money everybody has money is as
true as it is old, and in Kansas, which
is essentially an agricultural state,
the effect Of good crops is especially
noticeable. "The Times congratulates
the people of Kansas on the assur-
ance of the great addition to the
wealth Of their State, and hopes that
it may be but the beginning of an
endless series of years of good crops
To this end they may be able to keep
themselves busy pushing the irriga-
ton project. With a constant sup
ply of water for her rich land, Kansas
will become one of the greatest agrt
cultural regions in the world. It has
been proved that Irrigation is Prac
ticable, and the Times hopes to SEE
steps taken to take advantage Of it
not only in localities where 1t is al
advantage but also in those where i
is a necessity."-K. G. Times.

The latest thing in trusts is that
three different English syndicates

On August LIST Treasurer Houston
gave receipt to ex-Treasurer
Hayatt for $777, 100000, representing
the amount of money and securities
in the United States treasury turned
over by the latter to the former. OF
the above sum, 1927, O48, O32 is actual
cash, the remainder including United
States bonds and the reserve fund.
Ex-Treasurer Jordan happened in
Mr.. HOuston's Office about the time
the receipt was passed, and remained
to witness the TRANSACTION. The
above amount transferred to the new
Treasurer of the United States by his
predecessor, represents a sum ofmon-
ey of which it is difficult to get a
clear conception. Ten dollars OF
more would be required by every
man, woman and child IN the United
States to make up the total More
than one sixth of the whole amount
is in the shape of silver dollars stored
away in vaults, and not likely to be
disturbed until it shall become neces
sary to transfer them to Mr.. Hous
toms successor.

A peculiar case is reported from
Woodston, Rocks county. For sever
al months past Mr.. J. S. Chandler, Of
that place, has been suffering greatly
with rheumatism, and in May went to
Hot Springs, Ark, to be treated for
the same. He improved rapidly, and
the latter part of June wrote a letter
home, saying shat he was almost com
pletely restored to health, and would
be at home early in July, to buy
grain. After this letter nothing was
heard from him. On Thursday last
the station agent at Woodston receiv-
ed a telegram from the division
superintendent at Atchlson instruct
ing him to have several persons al
the depot when the train arrived that
night, as an invalid was on the TRAN

Great shortages in the wheat crop

ka Capital says: These widespread
shortages reduce the estimated yield
all over the world to a lower aggre-
gate than for 1883 which itself was
low. There can be little room for

There Is not brewery or distiIlery

The above from a Dakota paper
shows the influence that Kansas has
abroad, and especially is that infu-
ence of vital interest to the new ter
ritories that are just verging upon
Statehood. Should Dakota be fortu-
tunate enough to incorporate into her
organic constitution those principles
for which other states have had to
struggle long and earnestly, she will
have made a long stride on the cut
across toward the high water mark OF
civilization.

The mysterious disappearance and
equally mysterious return of the
Wichita real estate broker, E. T.
Brown, is stranger than fiction. AT
ter an absence of six months, this
man, who was supposed to be muir
dered, comes to his own homo begg-
ing for bread, domented, unable to
remember anything that has happen
ed, in rags and tatters, and so enact
ated and changed in appearance that,
for a time, even his own wife did not
recognize him. Physically, he is a
wreck, and mentally, little better.
From the night when he disappeared
until the moment of his temperance
in his own dooryard, nobody seems
ever to have seen him. A scar on
the back of his head evidently made
by blunt weapon confirms the suspic-
ion of his disappearance suspic-
ion created by the finding Of his hat,
near his house, torn and bloody
/ that he was waylaid and struck on
the head with a railroad coupling
pin. But now, as then. everything is
conjecture, for Brown can give no ac-
count Of where he has been, nor Of
what has happened to him, nor does
he know his own name. Altogether,
this is one of the most singular cases
on record -Atc5jSO31 Champion.
