STOCK AND FARM.

Cottonwood Falls Courant: Gordon
McHenry, at the head of Sharp's creek,
sold to A. q. Scribner. for the Watrous
Cattle Co., 5000 bushels of corn and
two stacks of hay for $4,000.
Hazleton Express: It is gratifying
to know that every farmer in this part
of the country, who is in financial shape,
is buying more land and putting it in
cultivation. It is surely a sign of con-
fidence in the soil of Barber county.
Cedar Vale Star: Hugh Hines is los
ing hogs by cholera; had lost about 125,
pigs and all, up to Saturday, and some
of our older farmers think there is a
probability of the disease travelling down
the river, making trouble for all the
river farmers.
Topeka Capital: On complaint of P
L. Rhodes a warrant was issued from
Justice Chesney's court for the arrest
of w. J. Blanchard, farmer living
about seven miles west of Topeka, on a
charge of falling to provide sustenahce
for 100 head of cattle of which he is the
owner. The cattle on Blanchard's place
are reported to be in a deplorable con-
dition. Blanchard was summoned be-
fore Justice Chesney, where he fur-
nished 500 bond to await trial on Sat
urday next.
Atchison. - Superintendent @. M.
Rathburn, of the Missouri Pacific, whose
territory includes about 1000 miles of
railroad, has had reports from every
station on the lines he superintends
and from all his subordinate officers
about the crop prospects. The reports
are very gratifying, and show an I'M
precedented condition of things. The
ground was never in better condition.
the wheat fields never brighter or
greener, and the acreage never SO large.
In the Solomon valley, west Of Downs,
where the drouth was the worst last
season, the roadmaster writes that the
ground is wet three feet deep.
The farmer who has sorghum seed to
sell has bonanza. There is big de-
mand for it, and he can get 81 so per
bushel for all that he has. The average
| yield of sorghum seed is said to be
| about twenty bushels per acre; then he
| gets ten tons of cane per acre at 50 per
| ton. This figures out about $50 per
acre for the farmer who planted cane.
| One farmer near the Topeka sugar mill
cleared nearly 81, 500 on sixty acres. He
says it is the most profitable crop that
a Kansas farmer can plant at the pres
! ent time. The board of railroad COM
missioners have been looking all over
Kansas for cane seed to be distributed
in weE tern Kansas, and although they
offered Sl.50 per bushel it was hard to
get a supply.

A MEMORY.
By J. P. v. KooSs

Above our heaas the robin sang,
And heaven was In his throat
The orchard with his, music rang:
But aWeeter than mis- note
We're loving words that banished gloom.
As sunshine does the mist,
While snowy drifts OF apple bloom
Our upturned faces kissed.
such moments are the flowers OF time,
The tmmortelles OF life.
That unger like q tuneful rhyme.
And lull its waves OF strife.

RATS And MATCHES
SET ON FIRE A STOCK or DRY GOODS,

AND A DISASTROUS CONFEDERATION Is
NARROWLY AvERTED-J, W. TURN
ER's STOCK BADLY DAMAGED.
The West side of Main street had a
narrow escape from destruction by fire
Sunday night.
While on his way from church, about
half past s o'clock, Mr.. W. H, Barnes
detected lsght in the dry goods stree
of j. w, Turner, but thinking that prob
ably some one was in the store, went on
towards home, stopping at Mr. Turner'S
residence, however, and reporting what
he had seen.
Mr. Turner went down to the store to
make and investigation, and as he neared
the door he discovered that the lower
story was full of smoke and realized at
once that his stock of goods was on fire.
He quickly gave the alarm and the
fire company responded promptly,
and soon the flames were under con-
troll.
The fire originated about the mid,
die way of the shelfalcng the left wall,
and it was caused, it is supposed, by
rats getting into a box of matches
that was left there when the store was
closed Saturday night. All the goods
and shelves that were within ten feet
If where the fire originated were
burned, and also a small hole through
the floor of the upper story of the
building, before the fam es were sub
dued.
Many of the goods were badly
scorched, and those that we're not in,
jured by the flames were badly dam.
aged by the food of water that was
thrown into the building. 1t is es-
limated that the stock of goods was
damaged fully eighty pei cent.
Mr.. Turner had 81, 100000 stock
and only "a, 100000 insurance.
Mr.. Turner is one of the city's most
prominent and successful merchants.
He had new and well arranged stock
and was doing safe business, and
the damage by the fire is seriously
felt by him.
Had it not been for Mr.. Turner's
presence of mind one or two blocks
on the west side Of Main street would
now be in ashes. When he first dis
covered the fire he did not open the
door OF his store, but kept it closed,
with the key in the lock, until he
fire engine was ready to throw water,
when the door was thrown open and
volumes of water at once began to fall
upon the flames.
Had he opened his store door at
soon as the fire vas discovered the
current thus given them would have
driven the flames from the inside of
the house and several other buildings
would almost surely have been burn
ed.
