A BIG FARMER.

Mr.. A. G.. ForDey, of Belle Plaine,
brother to Senator Forney, who was in the
city yesterday who is feeding 200 head OF
cattle, says that this winter has been
splendid one for live stock outside of the
mud which has been deep in Kansas. Mr..
Forney is an extensive farmer and sue
cessful one. He has 600 acres in wheat
which could not look better, and he is dis
appointed that Wichita is not putting up
a big elevator. Last year he was compell-
ed to store at Kansas City at loss and he
had hoped to carry ten or twelve thousand
bushels at Wichita the coming season.
Mr.. f. is also shipping this week several
car loads of timothy hay, and he has sew
eral hundred bushels of homegrown tlmo-
thy seed for sale The burning out of the
Belle Plaine News the other night Is felt
to be calamity to that town, and 1t IS
not known whether it will be reInstated

VERY D1sCouRAGING OUTLOOK.

Yesterday was hard day on the coun-
try "a well as bard on the fellows who
no its destiny in their hands, while they
hold down the corner of Main street and
douglas avenue. There were few OF the
faithful that tried hard to weather the
storm. but their straw hats and leakey
shoes. together with the unaccountable
absence of the fellow having little ter
hacker about him. and the rain having
snoiled the average cigar stub which Is
usually to be found in the gutter. com
binatiou of circumstances brought about
which If they were to continue very many
DAYS would bring about panic IN this
conntrv which would cause the late Wall
street panic to pale into insignihcence.

which il put to a vote will carry by an
overwhelming majority. The opponents
to the resolution tried TO defeat it by offer

the use OF soap, but they dispair of its
passage, owing to the fact that the wives

quite snug little sum to provide for, and

raised in this manner as starter. The
knights do not expect to ask for any more
outside help than they are obliged to have
The Grand lodge lasts week
