BURNING PRAlRlEs.
Destructive Prairie Fires In Kansas-Stook
and Farm Products swept Away.

Destructive Prairie Fires In Kansas-Stooh
and Farm Products swept Away.
STOCKTON, Kan, March 25.-Rooks
County has received terrible baptism
Of fire. A man whose name is unknown
started to burn some corn stalks, and
from this started q prairie fire which has
never been equalled in this section OF
the country for extent and amount Of
damage done.
For thirty-six hours the FIRE ragged
without cessation, and swept from the
southeast corner OF the county to the ex-
treme northwest corner, burning every
vestige OF grass hay and standing corn
stalks from the face Of the earth.
A perfect gale OF wind was blowing,
sending clouds Of sand and dust before
it. which increased the seriousness Of
the calamity. Every thing in the path
OF the flames was swept away with the
exception of few farm houses, which
were saved only by the united efforts Of
all the farmers Of the neighborhoods,
who would assemble to fight the fire at
stated points and then proceed to the
next point Of danger The whole mir
was mass OF clouds OF smoke and sand,
and the work of fighting the fire was
most uncomfortable.
The first fire started Sunday morning
from sparks from defective stove pipe,
which caught the dry grass which at
once blazed up like finder and spread so
rapidly that it was impossible to stop it
until it had done an immense amount Of
damage. Hay, corn, outbuildings and
some stock was destroyed.
More than 1,500 tons Of hay and
many thousand bushels OF corn and q
large amount Of other property has
been destroyed and the total loss is
placed at $4,000.
IN sEDGwICK AND KINGMAN.
WICHITA. Kan, March 25.-Two sons
OF w. C. Webster were burning some
sunflowers on their fathers farm in the
western part Of this county yesterday
morning when fire caught in the grass
and spread over about fifty sections, de-
stroying ten farm houses and buildings.
The loss is estimated variously from
500, 900 to 100000.
IN LINCOLN COUNTY.
LINCOLN, Kan, March 25.-A prairie
fire started southwest Of this city Sum
day morning and burned over an inn
mense area of the county, destroying
several farm houses and burning large
amount of farm machinery, livestock
and corn in cribs.
Another fire was started west OF this
city and rapidly spread before the wind
to the westward and destroyed large
amount of livestock and other farm
property. The grass is very dry and
burns like finder.

CARETS MLSSrATEMENTS.


During the remarks made by Judge
Carey on Tuesday evening, he paused to
answe any questions that might be asked
him. and the following interrogation was
put to him by Dan Howe;
Does not the Congressional Reo6rd
state, ia the bill for the admission of Wy
ominE, that all money over aad above
the necessary expenses for the constitu-
tiOnal convention and election of dele
gates Tin the appropriation Of $50, 600
is to be returned to the treasury Of the
United States2'
Judge Carey answered that no part
of the $4,000 appropriation was to
be returned, but that any remainder was
to be used for election and general ex-
penses.
This reply vas a surprise to some, but
not having the Record on hand tor proof
10 the contrary the matter was dropped
for the time. What Judge CArey's Oh.
Jet was in this misrepresentation, wheth.
er it was willlul or the result of ignor-
ance is not known, but following is the
provision in the Congressional Record
relating to the appropriation and its dis
position. Further commen is unncces-
cary:
Sec. Is. That the sum of $50, 900
or 50 much thereof as may be necessary
is hereby appropriated to said territory

and regulations and al the same rates as
are now provided by law for the payment
OF the territorial legislatures. and for the
elections held therefor and Hereunder.

It is the usual Republican scheme of

unusual degree of intelligence. In every

he has jealousy guarded the interests OF

from the standpoint that he has been too
