sharpers Still swindling Farmers.

Sharpers are abroad in the land
again who are scheming to skin the
farmers. They have successfully
robbed several farmers of Sedgwick
county and it is more than likely that
they are working some of the farmers
of this county. Their plan of proceed
ure is about as follows: They APP
proach a farmer and want to make
contract for his surplus corn, agreeing
10 pay him from two to five cents per
bushel more than his home or nearest
grain merchant can or will give. The
grain is to bc delivered little later
on at q designated place. The farmer,
always anxious 10 obtain the best
prices possible, and it's right that he
should, seldom hesitates about selling
his corn, and signs the contract, which,
in short time, turns up as a note in
the hands of "innocent parties and
nothing is left for the farmer but TO
paw the same. There is still another
trick, but he who gets picked up OIL il
is not to be pitied by honest people, as
he purchases something. experience,
with which he can swindle others. II
is this: A man approaches the farmer
and offers to sell him receipt to make
his wheat weigh double its natural
weight and bring full market price,
taking an agreement to accept a pro-
portion of the gains made out of the
scheme. This agreement also turns

Pittsburg Smeler: Harry Tripp,
we'll known here from his monthly
visits to the city has been promoted
to better position than one on the
road. He is nowmanager of the tea
and cigar department of the wholesale
house of the Nave. McCord Mercantile
Company, and has supervision over
all the salesmen in that department.
His SON, young Mr.. Trip, has taken
the road IN his fathers stead and will
be patrOnized for that fathers sake
until he has proved himself.
A blizzard-one of the regular mod
ern style, howIing kiDd-swooped
down upon us Sunday and the mercu-
ry ran down to l6 degrees above zero.
Monday was pretty cool, but Tuesday
the south wind warmed things up
considerably. Early Wednesday morn
ing another cold blast from the north
began and continued all day with
sprinkle of snow. Thursday morning
the mercury was reported from 4 to 8
above zero, the ooldest of the winter.
The river was up last Friday and
Sunday evening and owing TO an OBJ
struction getting into the water
wheels the electric lights had to be
shut off several nights because the
wheels ran too fast and could not be
controlled. Such occurrences are very
annoying to the patrons Of the electric
light company, but probably not more
so than 20 the company itself, and we
believe everything possible Is done to
prevent them.

The attention of the readers of the
News is invited TO the following from
the pen of Rev. /. w. Joyce, ID. D.,
concerning Sam Jones. He was pas
Tor of Trinity M. E. church in Cincin-
natl at the time Mr.. Jones held his
meetings there, and is now one of the
bishops of the M. f. church. Readers
will please contrast the attack of Mr..
Weldy and the Sarcoxie Vindicator
(Which attack, however, Mr.. Jones is
likely to survive) with the words of
Bishop Joyce.
"God is converting the world by the
preaching of the gospel, and at differ
ent periods In the history of his church
he raises up men specially gifted in
proclaiming the message of salvation
to sinful men. Such man is the
Rev. Sam P. Jones. He is the product
of a noble ancestry, aud in his devo-
ton to God and his eminent usefulness
in the cause of Christ, he honors the
name of those whose blood flows in
his veins. It Is believed he is daily
preaching to more people than any
other minister in the United States.
"Mr. Jones' preaching is always in
language which can be readily under
stood by all. 1t is pointed, plain, di-
rect and effective. In his hand the
gospel has q new attraction, and the
bible becomes a wondrous power, pos
sessing charms heretofore unknown.
And the service of Jesus Christ is in
vested with a glory that commands
the admiration, the love and the Obedi-
ent life of men. Mr.. Jones is thor
oughly consecrated 10 the one work of
saving men from sin. He studies hu-
man nature; he knows man. He has
a kind heart, a gentle disposition. He
loves the race Of mankind for Christ's
sake. He wants to do everybody
good. Amid all his success-and no
man has ever had more-he is modest,
aud humble and faithful; to use his
own words, it only makes me love my
Saviour the more, who has been SO
good to me, and who has done so much
for me- It is believed that during his
stay in Cincinnati two hundred thou.
sand people heard him preach the
goFpel of Christ, and the results have
been greater than can be estimated.
All the church denominations in the
city joined harmoniously aad heartily
in the work and each shared in the
gathering into their communion souls
that had been brought to Christ dur
ing the great revival" r.
