FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH.
The Relationship Between Slave

Wilhelmina Elmonds, who for more
than fftT years was 3 nurse in the
family o: Mr. Z. G. Turner, of The
Plains, in FauqUier county. The
record of her life long fidelity is sim,
ply but affectingly sketched in the
notice of her death. The story is
familiar as q trice-tOld tale to South
ern people who lived under the old
regime, and from Virginia 10 I-ouisi-

which slaves we're formerly owned

was not so much that Of master and
servant as iht f protector ana

Southern men and women sill recall
with warm and sincere affection the
coloIed servants WHO guarded their
infancy and early youth with IS much
tenderness and c)nstancy as if they
had been their own offspring, aud
who followed them through after
years with sincere pride 10 their sue
cesses, aud genuine sympathy in
their snrroNs. Sir Walter scott has
given u MANY striking pictures Of
the loyalty Of tn Scotch clansman a.

surpassed that Of thous nds Of these
humble slaves, who in time Of war

WEIGH as q "Roaster."

Some of the Puritanical hypocrites
running newspapers in Great Bend are
drawing consolation for their humlliat-
ing base ball defeat by throwing slurs
at the people of HoisingtOn and La
Crosse. There was no one from here
who has cause to censure any citizen
of HoisingtOn, and no one can do so.
Our delegation was treated well, and
no member of it cast disgrace on the
hospitality extended. If there were
Intoxicating liquors sold there was no
one who would find it out quicker than

critical fanatics.-Chiefta

A Wait.

Thursday night last, just after the
regular passenger ON the Santa Fe
had pulled out for the west, about
1905, one of, the baggage men
heard the vail of an infant, and upon
looking about a little girl baby, about
seven weeks old, was found lying on
the platform north of the depot. The
babe had q small bundle under its
head, wrapped in copy of a Spring.
field, Mo-, newspaper. Nothing was
found to indicate who the heartless
person was who left it there. A..
Beckwith. the express man, took
charge Of the little one and will care
for it until permanent provision is
made for it. The child looks to be q
bright and healthy infant. What the
circumstances were which caused it to
be abandoned is hard to conjecture.
Mayhap many a sore trial helped to
craze the mother who thus abandoned
the helpless infant.

Open to the World.

The eyes of the whole nation are
now turned toward Kansas. owing to
the superiority of her prospects for
grand crops, and it is to the interest
of every Kansan to put forth his best
efforts to make the State Fair this year
the greatest advertisement yeisent out
from the ''Sunfiower" State. The State
Fair Association offers for county dis
plays of farm products four premiums,
$500, $50, 500 and $50 respectively,
and every county in the state should
make an exhibit, not merely to compete
for these prizes, but to have their own
locality represented. It will be an adj
vertisement for the several COMMITTEES,
and aid in advertising Kansas to the
hosts of visitors from abroad who will
be here. This is the year of all years
to show to the world that Kansas is
still in the lead.
For display Of farm products by an
individual 1.-THE material may be gath
cred up all over the county, three
premiums are offered, as follows: SIS,
ESQ, and $25. This should be an incen-
tive to the farmer to prepare good
collection from his county fair and
bring or send to Topeka.
The dairy men will be in clover this
year. In addition to the liberal pre-
miums offered by the Fair Association

Within the last day or so reports
have reached town that over north, on
the higher ground, corn was hurt
some by the late hot weather. In
every instance, however, it is stated
that where corn could not stand the
heat was where it was very weedy,
showing that the farmer who culti-
Yates well is the one who wins every
time. The weeds, when left to attain
large growth, take the moisture from
the ground faster than the corn itself.
