looking. Their dress, when not in busi-
ness, is often of the whitest of linen coats
and shirts. They are the best business
men in the world. They own millions Of
dollars worth of property here in Bonn

trade Of India They are more akin to
the Christians than the Hindoos In their
methods of living. They believe in
spending their money, dwell In good
houses and drive about In fine carriages.
They are charitable as well az rich, and

Special cOrresDondence Daily Eagle

Special correspondence Daily Eagle.
MEADE, Kan, August 2.-Your cores
pondent is making a tour of the county
seat towns in Southwest Kansas, stopping
day Or two in each town and taking
time to stop on the way from one town to
the next to talk with farmers on the road
and make careful inquiries concerning the
condition of crops and the general pros
poets of the country. Before reaching
here l had heard very damaging reports
concerning Meade county, but so far as /
could learn from personal observation and
inquiry all reports of drouth and hot
winds are wholly untrue. I did meet one
man from the northern part of the county
who said it had indeed been rather a dry
season, but, said he: 'The people in my
section Of the county don't care anything
about rain as there are over fifty artesian
wells now in operation and more being put
in, and by another season we will have an
abundance of water"
His statements were confirmed by others.
There are now over one hundred flowing
wells in Meade county, some OF which have
been running two years and show no signs
of diminishing. The greater portion OF
Meade county has fine crop.
The American Sugar compant plant,
located at Meade, is almost completed at
cost of $4,000 There are almost 1900
acres of cane in the county, almost ready
for the mill. The cane looks better and
Will yield more to the acre than any have
seen in Barber, Harper or Sumner counties
this year. / stopped for short time at
the farm of Mr.. E. j. Graves, who lives on
the road between Meade and West Plains.
Mr.. Graves has well improved farm.
His oats averaged over forty bushels to the
acre, his wheat twenty-three bushels, he
has thirty acres of corn now ripe which
will make at least thirty-five bushels per
acre and forty acres more which. if it gets
one more rain of which there are now
strong indications, viii make over fifty
bushels per acre, and although
some readers Of the EAGLE may
say this is not n good
the adjoining counties, here are
farmers here who were formerly in the
vicinity Of Wichita, Kingman and New
ton who say Meade county raises better
crops every year than eastern counties
ever did at the same age. There is moth
ing the matter with the soil in southwest
ern Kansas. Strong flowing wells are al
ways obtained at depth of from $50 to
400 feet and as to salt wells there is one
and a half miles south Of Meade q salt
well of unknown depth. The water con-
tains over 30 per cent Of pure salt. The
well is about fifty feet i'll diameter and
the water is within eight feet Of the sur
face of the prairie. 1t IL more popular as
a bathing place fer the boys than the

LIVELY AT KlNSLEY.

Special Correspondence to the Daily Eagle
kINsLEY, Kan, August 5-We have had
another fine rain. and this makes the late
and early corn sure crop. The crops of
Edwards county are about as follows on
an average: Wheat. twenty TO thirty
bushels per acre; oats, thirty-fve bushels:
corn, forty bushels; potatoes, full crop;
sorghum and broom corn, full crop; millet
full crop; wild hay, extra Irge crop. The
above figures are not exaggerated. but are
true as near as an estimate can be made.
The kinsley roller mills started up run
ming to full capacity on August l, ana ex-
pect TO run steady for one year, and are
making as fine -four as can be made in the
state.
Our cheese factory is still in full blast,
receiving 5000 pounds of milk daily They
nave now on hand about 10 900 pounds Of
cheese ready for the market and about
$4,000 pounds that is not old enough. So
you can readily see that we can make
cheese at kinsley.
The district judgeship IS boiling rapidly

Pawnee county, on top. and Vandiverr

Tiger and his gang had been to Denison
and were returning when they came upon
the officers A long and exciting chase
enSued, and, after race or thirty-tiYe
miles the desperadaes escaped in Blue
Bottom, and ii was as much as the officers
lives were worth to pursue them further.
Black Tiger had six men all armed with
Winchesters and revolvers. There were
ten of the sheriff's posse. The officers de-
clare that they will yet capture this OUT
law who defiantly declares that he will not

THE SAL OONISTS WEAKENED

CINCINNATI, O., August 6.-What has
been termed saloonist rebellion was ended
in the police court this afternoon by the
granting of amnesty to offenders On appli-
cation of their attorneys. The attorneys
stated to the court that the defendants
were men who had money invested and
thought they were justified in trying to
make money and they were in some meas
ure excusable. Before the week had pass
ed they knew they were wrong. These
men in the presence Of their counsel by a
unanimous vote agreed to obey the law in
the future and now ask for forgiveness
and ask the court to meet them half way
by postponing cases now against them,

COMMERCE WITHARGENTINE.

WASHINGTON, August 6.-Before leaving
Buenos Ayres for home, United States
Minister Hanna wrote short report to
the state department on immigration in
Argentine Republic. He says it is setting
in from all countries of Europe and the
great number of arrivals is marvellous.
They are generally assisted by the Argen-
tine government to the extent at least of
having their passages paid from the start
ing point to their destination in the inte-
rior. The amount thus paid in March
alone is estimated at Sl,000,000 Mr. Han
ma further says: in the vast fleet of mer-
chant ships and great steamers coming
here to trade from every European port
the United States flag is rarely seen, but it
is hoped and believed that the policy of
the new administration on the subject of
an encouraged steam navigation between
the United States and the South Ameri-
can ports will successfully solve this en-
barrassment'

PLOTTING AGAINST HER HUSBAND.

NEW YORK, August 6-The application
of Mary Ellen Selbert for the appointment
of a committee of the person and estate of
her husbann, John Selbert. on the ground
that he is mentally incapable of managing
his affairs, came before Justice Bartlett in
Brooklyn today. Mr.. Selbert has been
married far more than forty years, and
has five children. For long time he
has been in the employ of his brothers,
Henry Selbert g. Bro, hthograph-
ers Of Warren street, New York. In sup
port of the application the affidavits of his
son, Edwin ;. Seibert and Dr. l.. &. Gray,
were presented. Lawyer William Fuller
ton opposed the application aud read an
affidavit by Mr.. Seibert, in which he
charges his wife and children with being
engaged in scheme to get possession of
his property. He admits that be has suf-
fered from attacks of epilepsy during the
past twelve years, but denies that his men
tai faculties have been impaired He
alleges that he was virtually imprisoned
in his own house; that he was provided
with a bed with bars at the top and bot
tom, full of iron rings, and that his hands
and feet were fastened to these rings. He
accuses his wife, his son Edwin, and his
daughter Winnie, who is Il teacher, of i'll
treating him. He deposes that he refused
TO take the drugs which Were given to
him, as they made him deirious. His
son persuaded him to remove his
bed from the room upstairs TO the back
parlor, on the plea that there would be
less noise to distuIb him. He now knows,
however that this was done so that the
outcries for help and OF murder which he
was often compelled to make might not be
overheard by the neighbors. lie says he
was tied to his bed, contrary to Dr.
Schapp's orders, for two weeks, and this
was done to force him to take medicines
Because he refused. he says. his daughter
Winnie bent back his fingers, his wife
kneeled upon his legs and his son seized him
by the head aud struck him with his fist in
the left eye. He cried murder" and they
des;sted. Once he wrote note on scrap
of paper and threw il into neigh boris
yard, whereupon his wife grabbed him by
the back, threw him on the floor and beat
him.
Mrs. r. Stone and A. NJ Burns certified
to his sanity, and his brother certified that
he was Il faithful and competent assistant
in their business. There were afiidavlts
from more than thirty other persons TO the
same effect.
Decision was reserved.

A DRUNKEN RIOT BY HUNGARlANS.

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa, August 6.-This
afternoon mob composed chiefly of Hun
garians from works on the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad, went to the works of W. j..
Rainer on the west side of the Youghloghe-
ny river and drove the men from the works.
They also drove the laborers out who were
at work on a new oven there. I. j. Nc
Sheel, the general superintendent, was in
the engine house at the time. He kept the
mob at bay with revolver. No one was
hurt and no damage done to the works.
The crowd then proceeded to the Clarissa
mines, and on the way passed the Nellie
works, where the men took to their heels
on seeing the mob approaching.
At Clarissa the men were forced out, as
we'll as the laborers at works on the reser-
voir. The Hungarians composing the mob
were drunk and wild with anger, and the
workmen only escaped injury by running

KEMMLER,S CASE HOPELESS.


AUBURN, n. Y, August 6.-Harold P.
Brown, the electric expert who has con-
tracted TO furnish the state the electric APP
paratus for the killing of murderer
Kemmler, arrived in the city this morn
ing He went at once to the prison, where
he was joined by his assistant, Mr.. Davis,
who came to Auburn on Saturday. Mr..
Brown and Mr.. Davis went down into the
prison yard at about II o'clock to begin
the work of putting the appa
ratus together. Mr.. Brown was seen
at the Avery this afternoon by
a reporter. He said that he came up TO
look the machine over and see that it was
properly set up. The machinery is all in
place but it has not been belted up yet.
do you intend to make any expert
ments with the machine?" asked the re-
porter Mr.. Brown said that such was his
intention. He expected to make them to-
day, but was unable to do so because sew
eral scientific gentlemen whose presence
was desired were unable to be present.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Brown to
have Dr. Carlos f. Macdonald, the superin-
tendent of the state asylum for insane
criminals, stake charge OF the experiment.
Dr.. Fell, of Buffalo, will also be present.
The experiment will be made upon ami
mails Mr.. Brown said that he could not
be in Auburn again for two weeks. The
experiment will be conducted on his next
visit. Mr.. Brown is sanguine that his
machine will knock out the life of Muir
derer Kemmler in short order. He says
that all the talk to the contrary is rot.
Why" said Mr.. Brown, 81 have list Of
ninety men who have been killed running
against the electric wires Twenty-seven
OF these were killed by the alternating
current and fifteen by the Westinghouse
Dynamo the machine to be used in this
execution. Besides, six of these men were
killed through water proof Insulation"
Mr.. Brown thinks that Bourke Cock
rams efforts to save kemmler will be
useless.
