A STACK OF CORN.
One of the Things They Can Only Do in
Kansas

One of the Things They Can Only Do in
Kansas.
From the Cincinnati Times-Star
81 have just received letter from my
old friend, Dr. n B. Wolf, OF this city, who
is now at his farm in Arlington, Kansas"
remarked a well known but modest barris-
ter yesterday.
What has the doctor to say for himself
and his western interests"
His ranch embraces 2 900 acres. OF this
he two years broke a whole section of $40
acres for corn field and planted it. This
section WAS at once styled the Jumbo corn
field. The first years yield was good and
this year he planted it in corn again. This
fall he concluded to 90 west to take peep
At his crops. On approaching his house he
was attracted by an immense stack of
wheat at a distance he took to be hay. 1t
covered almost an acre of ground and
formed an immense heap What's that
straw for" inquired the doctor. That's
hot straw. That is this years corn crop.
We had no other place to put it, explained
his overseer. That is not all corn?' Yes,
and every ear husked. There are $4,000
bushels of as fine corn as was ever seen
piled in that acre lot, and every ear was
raised in that Jumbo field The doctor
was astounded that his land, which few
years before had been regarded as next to
worthless, had developed such fertile quail
tiles, and no amount of money can induce
him to sell"
This is not atmospheric diet. Every
resident of Kansas can find in the above
item enjoyment not equalled by the sight
of Christmas feasts or holiday gifts. 1t
displays dame nature in evening dress,
graciously smiling on those who have
trusted her, and avowing that even gold
mines, diamond fields and pearl fisheries
are as venturing in a Spanish lottery
wheps compared with the agricultural
wealth of this state. The industrious
farmer, as we'll as the enterprising..mer-
chant and manufacturer, who in some
instances have risked nearly all. in the
presence of such a scene cannot doubt
the future. 1t signifies incompatible and
wealth right here and now.
Dr. Wolf IS regarded in Cincinnati
where he resides, and throughout south
ern Ohio, as practically wise and saga
cious, and very successful in all his busi-
ness ventures. y. BIRD.

STATE IMMIGRATION.

The immigration Bureau has prepared
and mailed to the county commissioners,
mayors and boards of trade of the state
a circular letter embodying the follow
ing points of information that will be of
interest to the public, and should enlist
the cooperation OF all:
This state immigration movement in
which it is earnestly desired that not sim
gle county in the state shall be left out.
A state movement is absolutely impera-
| tive, so that Kansas can, at this time,
while in the glory of her crops. COM
mand immigration. An organization of
less proportions than state movement
| is powerless to get any concession from
| the railroads.
The Kansas Immigration Bureau has
gone SO far at this time as to enlist the
cooperation of a large number of the
counties IN the state and invite co-opera-
ton on their part, and have received
favorable consideration, and policy has
been indicated, which, if pursued, will
enable the state of Kansas through a
systematic movement to present their
claims to the railroad with great assur-
ance of success.
The Bureau urges upon you, the peo-
pie, the Importance of calling a meeting
at once, and to take action in this mat
ter, and elect two or more delegates to
attend the state convention at Wichita,
on January 18th. At such meetings
MD Of o. oil
vertising your locality through the
Bureau, and other matters of importance
relative TO your section can be discussed
and the combined efforts and intelIi-
gence of all the counties in state con-
vention here will result in adopting a
plan of operation such as to enable each
county to get the inspiration OF new
existence, and a tide Of new people will
be the result.
1t is suggested that one of the county
commissioners be one of the
delegates from each county.
Every locality will be benefited Just
in proportion to the effort it makes. The
directors and working functions must be
from all parts of the state: there must be
no sectional features in the movement.
Do not fail to organize at once, and send
your delegates names to the Bureau at
Wichita.
Reduced hotel rates will be given in
this city during the convention.
Every paper in the state is requested
TO publish this call and urge upon the
leading citizens the Importance of
prompt action and thus preclude the
possibility OF the organization being or
becoming sectional in its makeup or
workings.

CHRISTMAS DAY REFLECTIONS.

Santa Claus is curious old gentleman.
He viii not enter chimney unless II
scots him.
That it is better to give than to receive
is proved by the fact that the custom of
giving at Christmas has outlived the Gus
tom of receiving at New Years.
There are some people who would be
dissatisfied on Christmas morning if
Santa Claus had dropped the earth into
their stockings the night before. Fortu-
nately their number must always be linn
tied because very few people wear stock
ings sufficiently large to accommodate SO
extensive present.
Unity should not always be the guiding
factor in the selection of a gift. A ton of
coal is always useful, but hardly appro-
pirate to send to your best friend.
Ordinarily, reading maketh a full man
but etiquette does not stand in the way
of ones getting full on turkey on Christ
mas day. Turkey, though intoxicating
in its way, is a mild enough beverage
and may be INDUCED in even by the
Prohibitionists.
A wise husband will not leave it to
Santa Claus to bring such articles as
sealskin sacques and fur boas into the
house unless he wishes to try his wife's
faith in the great deity of the chimney.
Do not seek for silence on Christmas
day. Remember that even in poetry,
Christmas inspires such rhymes as boys,
toys and noise.
Think not of mundane things on
Christmas day. Put off your bills until
New Years.

THE CHRISTMAS STORY.

Come sit by my side little darling
And we Will travel tonight
Way back hro' the dim, dark ages,
- BY the f1ick'rinx freight.
Wen float on sea OF fanCieS,
Tho well oftfmes drift ashore,
10 gather myths that the ages
Lave drOp't from their wondrous store.
And III tell you again the story
Just as twas told to me,
And will be told TO the little ones
TIL time shall cease TO be-
y our glad of that, my darling,
know by the kindling eyes,
But You ask me again that question,
Why did God let him die.
And answer you just as ever,
10 set the wide world free.
But ask me not that other,
For there I'm as blind AS thee.
We know that God hath power.
But perhaps He's so far above
That there must be medium
Ihro which to find His love.
If Christ had died as other men
We never should have known
Tba' wondrous love which comes to US
Through sacrifice alone,
Tho we may not see his motions
Since the world begun
We'd laugh if this flushing freight
Should criticise the sun.
For we know twill fall In ashes
AS the soula flesh must sever
While God with His sun shall light the earth
Forever and ever.
We've hoated too deep, my darling
Wen back DER the danger line.
Lest the black sail doubt should dim the soul
That lights those eyes Of thine.
lis phantom ship that's seeking
To snap Christ'S golden feter,
But Wen cling to the faith that God hath givel
TIL doubt can find better.

PERKINS AND OKLAHOMA.

From the Kansas City star.
The appointment of Congressman
Perkins, OF Kansas, as chairman of the
committee on Indian affairs will afford
great qualification TO his constituents.
and entrusts TO Mr. Perkins a work for
which he is admirably fitted. The valu-
able service which he rendered the bill
creating the territory Of Oklahoma, and
the active interest which he has mani
tested in the negotiations pending for
the purchase Of the Cherokee Strip,
doubtless suggested to Speaker Reed the
propriety of placing Mr.. Perkins in a
position where his ripe information re-
garding the Indian problem can be made
available and serve the cause not only of
the government but of the Indians. Ii Is,
in all respects, proper appointment,
and il is believed that it will result in
the encouragement OF a pracrical but
just and humane policy IN relation 10
the Indian question.

dates for the United States senate from

conviction that the election of a million

piovment of the methods used in the

intellectual force as to make his presence

CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS.

Christmas nom! Out thoughts again
Turn toward the Christ-child's birth,
Ushered in by peace on earth,"
Followed by Good will toward men,"
'Peace on earth!" o happy heart
With life's treasures amply blest.
Lies the meaning still unguessei
That those mystic words impart?
"Peace on earthr' o troubled soul
OF thine earthly treasures reft,
Is there not refuge left
Tho the waves of sorrow rolls
"Peace on earthr' o weary one
Freighted with a load Of care,
He will al thy burdens share,
Trust, for He denieth none,
peace on earthw A fragment sent
From the realm of endless rest,
Giving souls sheltering nest;
Heaven and earth divinely blent.
Peace on earthr' Mid friendships true
And proffered gifts, ere day is done,
VIII you not accept the one
That the Christ-chiid offers you?

The fund of one hundred thousand
dollars that was proposed by the late
Henry w. Grady for the erection of a
monument in Atlanta to the memory Of
Jefferson Davis may be diverted to a
similar purpose in commemoration of
Dir. Grady. How would it do to embody
both in the undertaking. 1t would GER
tainly be appropriate enough in view of
the position each occupied, the one the
representative of the old south and the
ether the new.

the current passes through any wire that

them. AS between the experts theory
and the practical demonstrations on the

the fatal effects of electricity upon hu-

One by one the Republican organs are
taking up the farmers cry of hard times
and are swelling the chorus with their
hypocriucal waiilngs. The Wichita
EAGLE, which is not as pronounced an
organ as it used to be. sends forth a
Jeremiad i'll which congress and the
powers that be get rib-roasting. This
is all very well, and only argues that
they have 10 face 10 the teeth and admit
the inevitable outcome of policy which
they have been defending for quarter
of century. What is the policy of
their party today: Precisely what it
was enc. TWO, three, four, five years
ago. See Harrison's message. VIII
these organs say 1t Is wrong. even now,
when they see the havoc it has wrought
among the farmers and the consuming
public? Not much. They have not the
courage nor the manhood. They are too
cowardiy. They still follow the same
old battle-cry: On with the tariff. On
with subsidies. No tax on tobacco and
not much on whisky. Protection to the
factory lords and God help the farmer.
