The announcement of Mr.. Gazawav Har

The announcement of Mr.. Gazaway Hart
ridge, editor of the Times, that he had ar
ranged to lecture under the management of
the great lecture manager, Maj. Pond, was
something of a surprise 1t ought not to
have greatly surprised those, however, who
know Mr.. Hartridge well He has talents
which make it certain that he will meet
with success. Indeed, it would not be at all
surprising if he should have brilliant
career on the lecture platform. He has an
immense fund of quaint humor, and those
who have listened to his impromptu efforts
know that he is a remarkably entertaining
talker. Those who are fortunate enough to
attend Mr.. Hartridges lectures will get the
worth Of their money.

CAPITAL NOTE :.
Big Wheat Acreage.

The reports received by the state
board of agriculture show that there is
an unusually large acreage of wheat in
western Kansas this fall. Haskell, Fin
ney, Kearney, Greeley, Pawnee and
many other counties IN the southwest
will have more than twice the acreage
of last year.
Captain W. F. Wright, of Haskell,
said:
eAs the weeks roll by the fact be-
comes more evident that our peo-
pie have their eyes wide open and have
gone to work with a will to demon
strate that this is the wheat growing
section of Kansas, and the equal of any
in the United States. This is the key
note to prosperity. Already it has
closed the mouth of the chronic growl-
or and supplied fresh lot of courage
to the faltering, and our people have
gone to work in earnest. 1t has been
demonstrated in scores of instances this
year that there is good money IN rails
ing wheat in this county if you can get
ten bushels to the acre, and realize 80
Genus DuSuel lOf your CiOP IL 0AA
probability we will get twenty bushels
TO the acre and rs cents a bushel for
our crop. when our profits will be more
than doubled. The large profit to be
made in raising wheat in our county
comes from the small expense incurred
in putting it in. Where the ground
has once been broken up to depth OF
saw nine inches, you will raise better
crop by going into the field with lis
ter drill and putting in the wheat With:
out blowing, leaving the undistnrbed
ground apparently solid. The drill
will put the wheat in burrows about
twelve inches apart and six inches deep,
and the reservoir formed by the erig-
inal breaking of the ground viii hold
enough moisture TO mature the CROP
where the surface has not been puiSer-
lied. With one OF these drills and two
good teams one can put IN 5OO acres In

The First German HeIIgolander.

In the very hour in which the Ger,
man Emperor performed the historic
act of taking possession of Heligoland,
the wife of poor cobbler there gave
birth to a boy (ssys the Leipziger
ZeitItng.) According to the Anglo
German Agreement, this boy, being
born under German rule, was the first
recruit from the island won for the
German army. As soon as the event
became known, several Berlin visitors
issued an appeal, which was couched
in terms both serious and humorous,
for ~the first German recruit from He
HIGHLAND" The members of the COM
mittee headed the list with contribu-
tons of twenty marks each, and then
circulated it amongst the other visitors
to the island, who on that significant
day we're equally willing and liberal.
Before sunset the parents of the first
German recruit" were most agreeabiy
surprised by present of a nice little
sum in grateful recognition of such
well-merited patriotism. = Pail Nal

One day a silk grower saw that some
ants with sweet tooth for his silk
worms had climbed one of his null
berry trees and attacked and thrown
the worms to the ground, where they
were hurriedly carried away by the
carriers. Wanting to put stop to the
theft, the grower encircled the trunk of
the tree with a ring of bird lime,
which for four days proved an impass-
able barrier. By the fifth the emer-
gency had developed an engineer-an
ant with big grain of sand in her jaws
deposited it in the lime, and then de-
scended. After ten minutes every ant
climbing the tree carried her grain of
sand. Half an hours work proved
sufficient to make the bridge span the
entire circle of lime, and prove large
enough to yield passage to four ants
walking abreast. The owner had not
the heart to destroy their work, and as
a reward for their skill abandoned the
tree to them. We have seen ants on
an expedition, when interrupted by a
stream, form pontoon bridge of work
ers hitched one to another. over whose
backs the army had passed dry shod.

places and do the work of 200 carpen-
tiers who had struck for some trivial
cause and refused to work on the expo

lawyers, doctors, bankers and business

the money is received, the man is led
back to the point he started from, and
the bandage removed from his eyes.
Under such circumstances no witness
can testify in what county he bought
his liquor. Several attempts have been
