We had very pleasant ride on last
Monday to Montczuma and back. The
country along the line of the road is
beautiful rolling prairie and, after the
rain of the previous night. was covered
with flowers and in the bright sunlight
was as lovely sight as the eye could
wish to rest upon. The crops in sight
from the car windows showed up well.
The wheat and rye are nearly ready for
the harvester with prospects for an alb
undant crop; the corn well cultivated
and growing fast; the oats heading out
well but with short straw; all kinds of
garden crops looked well; the millet, sor-
ghum, rice corn and kindred grains
were showing well for the season; some
fields of Alfalfa were being cut which
showed heavy crops of hay. Taken al
together the farmers have reason to be
satisfied with the prospect for the season.
We found the young city of Monte
yuma situated on as beautiful location
as can be found in any country. 1t Is
well drained and bids defiance to malaria
and kindred evils. The merchants
and citizens that we met during
our limited stay are full of energy
and have unlimited faith in the
future growth of their town and sur
rounding country. We hope soon to be
able to record the finishing of the line to
Trinidad, Colorado. As we only had
one hour in which to eat good dinner
and look around the city. We did not
have time to get acquainted with many
of the citizens but if those we met are
fair examples, we wish TO extend our ac-
quaintance and meet them often, and
hope that when they visit Dodge they
will make the Times Office their head
quarters.

Abou, Dodge City,

We have on our desk a copy of the
Union Register published in Mt. Gilead,
Ohio, which contains letter written BY
Mrs. Elwood Miller of that place. Mrs.
Miller is sister of our popular deputy
sheriff, Jas. McCurdy. The letter is
quite long, gives descriptions of the coun-
try through which she passed on an ex-
tended "Trip from her home to the Rocky
Mountains. We extract what she writes
of her stay in Dodge City. After visit
ing friends in Wellington, Kas., She
writes:
I've have delayed long here and so We
must bid adieu to our loved friends of
this part of Kansas, with hearts full of
love and gratitude for the many kind
nesses received at the hands of the
friends We may never on earth meet
again. though in our memory shall eyer
remain bright and clear the faces We an

now compelled TO leave behind while W.
once more wend our way westward, Il
the next point Of destination in our wand
erings, viz, Dodge City, another beauti
full city, located on the north bank o.
the great Arkansas river, in the south
western part of the state, some three
hundred and fifty miles west of kansa!
City, and has population of about
4. 600 inhabitants, and it is certainly one
of the most substantially built western
cities we have yet visited, and judging
from the many modern improvements
| there, its citizens must be more than
ordinarily enterprising. Here We had
the pleasure of meeting nay brother and
| family. VINO is and hss been acting as
deputy sheriff for nearly three years.
and Jailor or turnkey. and therefore Is
very comfortably ensconced in the court
house, under the supervision of Sheriff
II. 3. Bell, who is said to b. one OF the
best officers in the state OF Kansas.
There We also met our old friends l.. r.
Miller and family, with whom we spent
many pleasant hours at their happy
home, and they gave US most enjoy
able carriage ride far out over the
beautiful rolling prairie lands south OF
the grand old Arkansas river. Mr.. Mil
ler is conducting for himself very ex-
tensive flour and feed business, and still
retains his fine landed interests near
Darlington, Ohio. We also net, to our
great suprIse, Mr.. George Bartlett, an
old and loved companion Of my hus-
band s earlier days Mr.. Bartlett is in
charge of the state forestry station,
located about two miles east of the city,
and holds his position under govern
ment appointment. He came and took
US in fine carriage out TO his lovely
station home, where We spent one enjoy
able night, and the next morning lie
drove down to old Fort Dodge military
reservation. in years gone by, but now
converted into state soldiers home.
1t is lovely spot, indeed, with the rich
green grass of the door yards. as it were,
bathing themselves in the pure waters OF
the Arkansas Oh, We were most royalty
entertained here in Dodge City. Here is
located the finest college in all western
Kansas and now, in fine running order,
with one of the finest electric light
plants, and perhaps the best system OF
water-works west Of the Missouri river.
This little city is most complete. con
tanning two magnificent public school
buildings, and four fine, large and COM
modious churches, the finest opera house
in the west, and rink capable of hold
ing two thousand people. We have
attended several entertainments while
here, and are only sorry our allotted
tiIne will not allow us to remain at least
a month longer among this large ge-hearted,
noble, generous and enterprising people

Editor Times: Mr.. Petition says in
last weeks Democrat that he has dis
charged the bum printers tmeaning
the resident printers of Dodge from his
employ. and has placed PROFESSIONAL
printers in their place. Yes: the last
issue was professionally edited from
the able pen of the Hon. W. F. Petition"
and consisted of about half a column
of stolen editorial, another half column
or so OF local items, among which was a
notice to the effect that one of our bus
iness houses would have an opening on
May 30th, another firm was made to say
that they would have a millinery open
ing on May 90, in paper published on
June 7th. There is another attractive
feature of the PROFESSIONAL labor done
on the Democrat which consists IN the
regular publication of from five to seven
columns of dead ads and sheriff sales, and
no less attractive. especially to the read
ers, is the PROFESSIONAL way In which
six inch advertisement is made to an
swer for a couple of columns al lnches)
of reading matter. The proof-reading.
the makeup. the typographical appear
ance. all go to show the touch of mas
ter hand, such as only PROFESSIONAL
can bestow. When We see such an i'm
provement in the appearance of the Dem
ocrat over what it was under the care of
the inexperienced resident tramp" prin-
tiers, we can only mourn the great loss
we have sustained in not being able to
take regular course of instruction un-
der the PROFESSIONALS now in the en-
ploy of Mr. Petition.

Editor Times: In the last issue Of the
Democrat see it stated that the Dodge
printers were discharged from that office.
That know to be false. 1t has been my
misfortune to have been employed in
that Office occasionally, but l was never
discharged, but quit work of my own
accord. The proprietor of that sheet
knows full well why the Dodge printers
gave him the shake, so | need not give
you repetition of the cause.

In view of the probability of the
Wichita & Western connecting the great
ST. Louis & San Francisco with the A. I.
& S. F., at Dodge City and establishing
the main repair shops here, W. c. Shinn
has adopted Il novel method for once
more directing the attention of the pub
lie to real estate speculation. He will
furnish to bona fide residents of Dodge
City and vicinity one hundred pieces of
property not less than fifty feet front
each upon the principal streets of this
city, both improved and unimproved for
the uniform price of ten dollars per lot.
No one will be allowed to take more than
two lots as the price is merely nominal,
none in the list ever having been offered,
in the ordinary course of real estate, bus
iness for less than $40 while many of
them would readily command much high
er price. For instance the list includes a
neat cottage and grounds nicely situated
and fitted with every convenience for q
home. Every thing free and clear of all
incumbrance. Mr.. Shinn has a complete
list of the property at his store on Front
