sorry that some needful persons couldn't
have the balance to make use of. a day
or two later l met my old friend. Levi
| Mclaughlin, and he asked me if I had
any potatoes to spare at my place.
! said, Yes, plenty" He asked. How
much are they WORTH" l told him they
were only 10 cents in Wichita, land /
can't afford to haul them there for that
L have a PIT open down at the house; Just
! go and help yourself and get what you
want. He told me there were some of
his neighbors and friends out of potatoes
also, and told him to tell them to come
and get what they needed. From that
time on l had visitor or two every day
to get potatoes. But harvest was APP
preaching and / went to Wichita with a
load OF hogs to get enough money and
provisions to pay my help and put me
over harvest. When | reached Wichita
found that potatoes had gotten scarce
all at once. and had bounded up TO 20
cents. This didn't worry me any, as |
didn't have to buy potatoes, and l was
reconcIied by the conscious satisfaction
of having relieved some of my hard-up
nelghbors and congratulated myself on
the way home that it was more blessed TO
give than to receive. Next morning they
wanted some potatoes at the house and |
took basket and went out to the pit TO
get them. Imagine my CONSERVATION
when looked into that pit and found
everything gone except about a peck of
refuse. Ia my two days absence the de
mand had been fully equal the supply.
My friends had made clean scoop and
left me to hold the bag. l threw the
bushel basket into the Minnesota, hit
dog kick in the ribs that sent him howl
ing under the barn. grabbed pitchfork
and chased the hired hand down the
river a mile, until I lost him in the sand
hills among the grape vines and plum
thickets. When [ got back to the place
had cooled off somewhat. l was start
ing to harvest next day; l had to have
potatoes, and new ones would not be fit
to dig for two or three weeks, so l hitch
ed up team and set off to old Clear
water to hunt some. l asked the store
keeper If he had any potatoes, He said;
Yes, I've got some nice ones. How
much are they" ''Well, taters are pretty
scarce and these are worth a dollar
bushel" LET me have five bushels"
When he measuring them thought they
looked kind o familiar and [ asked him
where he got them. He said he bought
them from Mr.. -- yesterday. Mr.
- had been one of my customers at |
the pit. But | handed over the 50 for my
own potatoes and said nothing, and on
my way home l vowed VOW that hence /
forth and forever [ should have no more |
potatoes to throw to the crows.

THE UNIVERSITY REPORT.

Professor Shows weather report, from
observations made at the State university
for the month of March, is as follows,
the table only omitted:
The month was cold, dry and windy.
Six preceding Marches have been colder,
but on no other March on our record. eX-
cept in 1876, has good ice been cut upon
the Kansas river. Unusual wind storms
prevailed on the 25th and 9th, the bar
ometer on the latter date reaching the
lowest reading ever observed at this sta
ton. The ram fall was less than half
the average amount, but the total precip-
itatiOn for the first quarter Of 1890 falls
but little below the normal.
Mean temperature-31.19 deg. which Is
1888 deg below the March average. The
highest temperature was rs deg. on the
24th: the lowest was 4 deg. on the LIST.

notwithstanding melted snow and
sleet-1. 02 inches. which is 1.29 inches
below the March average. Rain and
snow in measurable quantities fell on
eight days. Snow fell on four days, but
the entire depth was only half and inch.
There was one thunder shower. The en-
tire rainfall for the three months of 1890
now cow completed has been 4.27 inches,
which is 0.5S inch below the average for
the same months in the proceeding
twenty-five years.

BEGINNING TO COUNT.
From Tho Fort Scott News.

From the Fort Scott News
Notwithstanding the general hard
times and the difficulty of selling any
kind of real estate in the east. there IS
considerable interest being awakened in
Kansas. and we have no doubt but n
proper effort viii bring many people to
this state this season.
The classes most likely 10 come are
men seeking for openings for manufac-
turing enterprises. those who desire To
engage in business under more favorable
circumstances than in their old eastern
homes, and perhaps a fair proportion of
farmers who wish 10 enlarge their pos
sessions and perhaps place their sons
upon farms Of their own. which
could not be done in the
east under the small tract system which
prevails there We expect something
of an influx into Fort Scott this spring.
and the point we desire 10 make. Is that
real estate owners should hold their
property at reasonable figures if they
wish 10 induce newcomers to buy.
We are told by the city immigration
aud manufacturing agent. Col Pearsau.
that already he begins 70 experience re-
suits from the maps and other advertis-
ING sent out, and that many letters of IN
curry are coming III. This Is particu-
LARRY true of men seeking favorable
places for manufactures. aud several
important enterprises have been secured.
and Others are IN favorable prospect

WOMEN RUNNING FOR OFFICE.

What true woman. or what man APP
preciating woman's higher nature and
type of character; that does not sincerely
regret the false position of the self
elected representatives of the sex in the
various municipal elections in the towns
and cities of Kansas day before yester-
day? OF course the woman candidates
and their principal woman supporters
were and undoubtedly viii remain I'M
ronsciOus of the ridiculous ard humiliat-
ing figure they cut, but nine men out of
ten and all the hosts Of self appreciative
and truly womanly women who re-
Inained within their own natural and
proper spheres can but feel mortified
and humbled.

The Scoopendyke at Topeka who at
tempted yesterday morning through the
Associated Press TO enlighten the world 5
people as to the issues and elections Of
the various cities Of Kansas ought to
soak his head. The EAGLE for one does
not desire to pay for rot news. The dis
patches from the various towns and
1ities are more preferable than any hog
wash of some cheap John from Topeka
or from any other town having no
superior facilities for gathering the facts
and figures.

A GODDESS OF SUFFRAGE.

We have no idea where all this talk of
woman in public life may end, but one
phase Of it seems destined to end in a
mans saddle, as we notice that down in
New York the girls who advocate voting
and eschew the hustle, have got to riding
'straddle. This may do for the Jenness
1Iillers and such sylph-like beauties, but
take a dumpy goddess of suffrage weigh
ing two hundred pounds or more, and
mount her thus if you want a spectacle
that viii cause gods and grandfathers to
weep and which viii hold the street

AFRAID TO REPORT THEIR BIG CROPS

Some Of the township assessors com
plain that members of the Alliance refuse
to make return of their farm and crop
statistics. This is undoubtedly unwise.
Such failure will be supplemented with
estimates which IN all probability viii be
greater than the actual facts, the result
of which viii be to work the very wrong
that the withholder hopes to defeat. Truth
is always the best, and seldom or never
hurts in the long run, while misrepresen-
tatiOn seldom fails to work injury in the
outcome. 1t is probably not so well
known, but it has been demonstrated by
able writers Of late that, according to
the statistics of the world, that the sur
plus in all crops is disappearing and that
the crop products are not keeping up
with the increase population and con-
sumption, which in time VIII wipe out
all the breadstuffs, etc, of the world
during the present year leaving a deficit.
There seems TO be no doubt about this
which means, in the absence Of opening
up new countries, with none TO open up
all farm products will commence going
up this year and continue to do so for
several years until present prices are
doubled and tribbled. The quicker the
world is convinced of this though reli-
able statistics the sooner will farm pro-
ducts Of kinds begin to advance in price
It becomes the duty and the advantage,
therefore, for every farmer of every
country to give the exact truth as to his
products. 1t is foolish to think that any
in his report can affect the
markets of the world. We hope, there
fore, that Kansas farmers may, in their
own interest, return to the assessor the
rue figures touching all their productions.
In case Of refusal the assessor should |
make his own figures from his own
knowledge and an actual survey.
