KANSAS NOTES
Kansas Gty Star,


There is a kind OF spirit which removes
mortgages and Kansas is catching on to 1t
There are fields of oats in Rocks coun-
ty that will yield close to one hundred
bushels per acre.
Twenty-four thousand ecalps of all
kinds were to rned in to t he commission
ers of Ford county at their last meeting
In Kansas there is the old crowd, the
yonng crowd and the little crowd. The
latter is also known as the Democratic
party.
August has been a cooler month than
June or July for several years. The Kan
sas farmers had better begin to fill up
their coal houses.
to talk about building opera houses.
That is something that is never thought
of when the times are real hard.
Aman died the other day at the Sum-
ner county poor farm who had three
rich brothers living near Oxford. How
streaked they will feel when they come to
die.
Several bee hives stored with sweets
were found floating down the river at
Atchison the other day. Kansas is liter
ally flowing with milk and honey this
year.
In Sumner county there is one dog to
every ten persons. which is better, of
course, than ten dogs to one person,
which is the proportion in some sections
of Missouri.
An lola man who was supposed to have
been fatally injured by stroke from a
base ball bat is recovering, and will be
married next week. The significance of
this incident is clearly obvious.
Judge Mckay the alliance magistrate
of Harper county, has reversed the su-
preme court il, three different cases, and
yet when he was elected the republicans
said he knew nothing about law.
The Riley county Alliance believes in
practicing what it breaches. 1t favors
woman suffrage, and SO requests that half
the delegation from each sub-Alliance to
the next county meeting shall be women.

Harvest ExcursioniSts and How to
Excurs.
The question of the natural product
iveness of soil in Western Kansas needs
demonstration to the eastern mind.
Seeing is eminently in this case believ-
ing. All Kansas invites the doubling
east to this 'sight" demonstration.
She does not fear the conclusivenesso of
that demonstration.
We need more farms and more live
farmers. We have too many square miles
of buffalo-sod! We need more and larg-
er wheat-felds. Instead of ten acre
basin oD every section Of land, we need
an eighty acre one on every quarter Sec
ton. Eighty acres in cultivation, receiv-
ing and containing the rainfall which
shall aid in the sure production of crops,
and from which shall evaporate the mois-
ture for seasonable rains and permanent
security against hot winds.
Seeing Western Kansas now is sure
demonstration of the passibly speedy
progress to this condition.
By all means invite the e1cursionist to
come.
Before coming, however, let him write
to some person, known or recommended
to him, stating what kind of land and the
area he wants.
II a company, or half dozen or more
from the same neighborhood are contem-
plating visit to our state, let them Sc
lect representatives from their number
and save the remaining fares to invest in
calves when they get here with their fam
lilies.
This plan will save time and conse-
quently money. as expenses viii thus be
cursailed, the length of time employed in
the excursion be shortened and the alb
sence from home correspoadiDgly.
Renters in the older states east cannot
refute the logic of nature now exhibited
to the observers eye

A few hundred yards above she head
ed her for low bank on the side near
est to the highway. A moment later
she had the horse safe behind friendly
screen of small trees.
Hastily tying the halter to sapling
she stole cautiously through the under
brush to point near the spot where
she had last seen the men.
They were still there, but evidently
contemplated IA move of some sort
Mentally Kate made a note of two facts,
the first of which was that both men
were villainous looking specimens of
humanity; secondly, their horses were
reeking with sweat and, apparently,
much exhausted.
Leaving the animals to feed by the
wayside, the two presently crossed the
road and struck into the path leading
down to the brook, one of them point
ing with his rattlesnake whip to Ma
omi's footprints in the black soil.
Katie heard her name pronounced by
the most savage-looking one, and mo-
ment later the scoundrcl passed by,
scarcely three feet from her place of
concealment. Within easy reach of the
coveted treasure he was, luckily for
Katie, unconscious of the fact. With
his heavy whip he struck an ugly little
blow at the identical bush through
which bright eyes were peering For a
moment, as the little girl afterward adj
mitted, she was almost afraid

of the fact that numerous sharp stubs

christening her, Kate started to lead
her toward the road, though she knew
not what obstacles might intervene, the
thick growth of young trees rendering
it impossible for the eye to penetrate
many yards in advance.
A huge fallen tree lay directly in
front of them, shutting off all hops of
escape in tha5 direction. On one side

A Street Car Scene That Was a Little
Misleading to Observers.
You can't most always tell! In fact,
a whole carful of as bright people as
live in Austin were almost unanimously
mistaken the other evening. A young
couple took front seat in the car. The
girl was strikingly handsome blonde,
faultlessly dressed. The young man
had dark brown hair and was not so
carefully attired. From the worshipful
way in which he seated her, placed her
packages in the rack, and kept his ad'
miring eyes upon her blushing face the
other passengers Immediately sensed
their newly marriedness and settled
back in their seats to enjoy the pan
tomime of Loves Young Dreams. His
arm dropped carelessly along the back
of the seat. Her head leaned caressingly
against it. His fingers lightly drummed
a tune upon her shoulder. 1t was
'sHome, Sweet Home" They didn't say
much, but kept casting devouring
chances into each others eyes. Finally
his fingers began to toy with the golden
lovelocks that curled temptingly up
from her white ne ok over the edge OF
her jacket collar. The passengers all
smiled, and | remarked to the elderly
gentleman who shared the seat with me
that they seemed to be very fond of
each other. .t... T.
"Ah,, yesl'' he replied. 1--WE known
them ever since they were eight and
nine years old Never saw brother and
sister so fond of each other! Never!
Their father and mother died when they
were little more than children an Ben's
taken care of her and himself ever since.

! lieve-where he is sending her. You
can see he's as happy us a bridegroom
over her. r. ....

She felt OF the precious envelope in her
bosom, and wished heartily that it were
safe in Mr.. Steinfelt's keeping. ..
Slowly the men neared the group Of
trees under which she had first halted,
following her very track, she could have
averred.
They stopped directly, and the rider
dismounted. Then began a doublJ
sharp investigation of the ground.
Our brave lass felt that it was high
time for action. Catching Naomi by
the bride she led the unresisting ami
NAL down into the stream, resolved
that no traces of their flight should re-
main. Then she sprang into the saddle,

guided the beast silently as possible up
the creek.

another PROSTATE monarch of the for
est presented an equally formidable
barrier, and at her right lay many dead
branches, the cracking of which would
inevitably betray her presence to the
| human bloodhounds so close upon her
track Poor Katie!
In a moment Katie felt great, glad
thrill of hope springing up within her
heart. Instantly she resolved to mount
Naomi and make bold dash through
the brush, at all hazards. Accordingly
she climbed to a seat in the saddle, pre-
paratory to making the attempt.
| Naomi, however, was an intelligent
brute and had no notion of running the
gauntlet in such a reckless manner.
To Hates surprise She obstinately re-
fused to advance a hairs breadth in the
direction her mistress desired, but, in
stead, commenced backing off. Being
taller than Kate it may be that she
had made Il discovery which the girl
certainly had not, i. e., that q pair of
extremely fierce black eyes in that
quarter were watching every move
ment with Il sinister interest
| A few PAGES back the mare stopped,
then started rapidly forward and, al
most before Kate comprchcnded what
she was about sufficiently to tighten
her hold the horse went over the
gigantic log with something of the agil-
ity of kitten, her hind feet sending
out ringing echo as they struck
against the hard wood.
A loud shout, followed by hoarse
imprecation, instantly gave her to
! understand that her whereabouts
had been discovered. However, tho
way before her was clear enough now.
Naomi swept ont into the track and
galloped away at Il break-neck pace.
For the life of her Katie could not
have refraincd from sending back tri-
umphant little huZZah to the discom-
flied rascal who stood watching his
! prey thus make her escape.
| His reply was bullet which went
whizzing by her head SO close that she
| The other man, warned by his confed-
crate, came running up and, hastily
mounting their horses, both started in
hot pursuit. But those weary steeds
We're no match for Naomi who, fresh
from her incoming, appeared to exult in
the wild race she was leading.
| For mile or two the chase was kept
up; but curses and flying shots proving
alike Intellectual in recalling the brave
little maiden, they at length turned
their horses in an opposite direction
and rode sullenly back and were seen
no more in those parts until some
months later, when Nemesis hunted
them down on charge of horse steal
| ing, which was proven against them.
Without further adventure Katie
reached Rydal, and nu6 the satisfaction
! of seeing old Mr. Steinfelt in possession
of his money. ~
The sheriff of the county, who was a
friend of Mr.. Tynedale, acco n panied
her upon her return.
In spite of being an accomplished
equestrian, our young friend, nova
! days, never ventures upon such long
journeys unattended
The Tynedalc family and their friends
arc still disposed to lionizc her in coGse-
! quencc of the episode above narrated;
but Katie modestiy waircs all claim TO

the last hour or two, were now almost
dispelled by the cool, grateful shade of

Naomi, Hates sleek bay, appeared
equally thankful for rest, and gave eX-
preston to her feelings by a low
whinny of satisfaction.

ceeded to brush the flies from her dumb

INJURED she, whereat Naomi turned her
head and gave the speaker an intelli-
gent look out of her great, brown eyes.
1t was, indeed, long way for 4 child
of twelve to have come alone, and upon
such an important mission; but Kate
was pluclly girl and not in the least
homesick nor at all afraid of anything
but certain tiny black cloudlet in the
west, a 'cloud no bigger than a mans
hand" 1t was the prophecy Of storm,
and a thunder shower meant unuttera-
bic things to Katie J'ynedale.
She wouldn't have started out to-day,
but her father was sick and Mr.. Stein
felt's note being due, the old gentleman
wanted his money. Securely buttoncd
inside the little girls gray basque We're
the two hundred dollars which was to
cancel her fathers Indebtedness.
There had been cOmmotion in the
Tynedale household the previous eve
ming when Kate had announced her
willingness to go over to Rydal with
the money.
Mrs. Tynedale had promptly declared
that such thing wasn't to be thought
of for a moment; but her husband had
laughed in good-natured way and as
serted that it was IA capital idea, and he
would sooner trust his boy than any
man in the neighborhood.
He often called Kate his boy" part
ly because of the assistance she rem
chiefly in consequence of her skillful
management of a horse.
In the end Mr.. Tynedale and Kate
had carried the day. So here she was,
at noontide, but ten miles from her des-
tination.
After brief pause she left Naomi
and climbed to the summit of Il gently
rising knoll beside the way to get a
better view of the western sky.
Behold! the threatening cloud had
entirely disappeared, drifted away down
behind the blue hills.
Kate drew a deep breath of relief and
ran back to the foot of the hill
You shall have nice, long rest,
Naomi exclaimed she, patting the
arched neck of her favorite.
Threading the ravine below flowed a
shallow stream, the sparkle OF whose
bunlit waters came up through darkly
interlacing branches of evergreen like
CLEANS of silver. Thither Katie led her
stecd.
Fully an hour they had remained
there, the little girl stretched at full
length upon her soft couch of moss,
half asleep, Naomi grazing near at
hand.
Suddenly Kate sat up, very wide
awake. Her quick ear had caught the
sound of horses hoofS.
Yonder, up in the highway, two men
were approaching. Both travellers were
provided with horses, though but one
was mounted. The other picked his
way carefully along, evidently search
ing for something. What that some
thing was interested the child greatly.

The common and necessary operation
of sweeping the floor of a school-room,
factory or other large apartment is gen
orally carried out with great inconven-
fence to the sweepers, and with the re-
suit that large proportion of the dust
removed from the ground is transferred
to every object in the room where it can
find a resting place. The air, too, is
contaminated for a long time afterward
with floating PARTICLES, which are very
distressing to those who have to breathe
in it. All this can be avoided by dis
pensing with the common practice of
sprinllling the floor with water previous
to the use of the broom and by applying
the moisture in different way. BY lay
ing line of wet sawdust right across
one end of the apartment and by sweep
ing it foot by foot to the other end, it
will in it's passage lick up every bit of
dust without raising any in the air. BY
adding to the wet sawdust a small pro
portion of any disinfcctant it is obvious
that the cleaning will be still more eff
fectual. Journal.
