WICHITA BOARD OF TRADE

To the Farmers of Sedgwick County:
Every farmer should embrace the OPP
portunity to save some of the best speci-
mems of the products of the farm which
can be used for exhibition.
Kansas probably never had such a
harvest as she is having this year and
there never was such an opportunity
offered to secure the finestEpecimens of
her products.
Sedgwick county can only be known
as the banner county by showing what
she can produce and in no better way
than by an exhibition of the products
themselves. Prize specimens of wheat,
oats, rye, barley, corn, sorghum, castor
beans, cotton, flax, hemp, tobacco,
broom corn, millet, hungarian, timothy,
clover, orchard grass, blue grass, alfalfa
and prairie grass can be saved if the
farmers will take a little time to
select them and keep on exhj-
bition at their farms so they
can be gathered for display together
when the proper time comes. Every
1CtI I4lGI olOlllu ilOl lGI lllOHlcuJ Dt1oS "
do something in this direction and so
contribute to the advertising and up
building of the greatest county in Kan
saS.
The best apples, pears, peaches, plums,
cherries and apricots should be selected
and preserved in glass jars in the best
manner possible.
All the largest and best selected speci-
mems of the small fruits, such as rasp-
berries, blackberries, Strawberries cur
rants, gooseberries and grapes should
be put up in glass and labeled with the
name of the varieties, etc.
If every grower of grain, vegetables
and fruits will save the best specimens
of some one thing, one of the grandest
collections can be made by Sedgwick
county that was ever made by any coun-
ty in the state.
If any farmer has not the time to pre-
serve these specimens, or room at home
to keep them, if he will send them to
the Board of Trade they will be taken
care of for him, but by all means save
the best specimens while you have them
and can. II. L. PIERCE,
Secretary of the Board of Trade.

KANSAS BEFORE THE KODAK.

Following are a couple of landscape
and scenic pen pictures drawn by Kan
sas artists from real life in their respec-
tive localities that probably could not be
equalled from any other quarter or To-
cality than those named, in or out Of
The Republican, of Springfield, Sew
ard county, says there are several fields
of volunteer wheat in that county that
will yield twenty bushels per acre, and
asks if such a thing would be possible
anywhere outside of Kansas. 1t further
says Several farmers were town this
week buying vacant buildings which
they intend to move to their farms for
the purpose of storing their wheat.
The Atchison Globe says the farmers
in that vicinity are working as hard as
they would at a fire if their homes were
in danger. a number of farmers wives
were in town Saturday, walked in, as all
of the horses were busy. One woman of
45, walked five miles into town, carry
ing ten pounds of butter for sale. She
expected to walk back and carry all her
purchases. 1t is not believed there is a
farmer in the county so good that he
will not work tomorrow. Cherries,
currants and small fruit are going to
waste for lack of anyone to pick them.
Everyone is in the field.

Kindness from Woman Did What Po-
hcemen's Clubs Had Failed To Do.
Ii was in tine fall of 1878 that the
small boys about TOmpkins square, hav.
ing exhausted the ordinary methods oD
street enjoyment, began TO amuse them
selves by throwing stones through the
windows of the Wilson mission at 1sa
St. Marks place, and by jeering at the
various people connected with 1t as they
passed IN and out Of the building.
These customs proving IN time both
expensive and annoying to the ladiel
and gentlemen connected with the mis-
sion, and complaints to the police de-
partment only resulting in temporary
Cessation OF hostihties whenever the
lynxeyed policeman on the beat ap
peared, and as long as he remained IN
sight, one OF the ladies determined u
try the soothing effects Of Goals of fire,
poured metaphorically upon the heads
Of the offending boys. So one evening
she answered an especially irritating
volley of stones by appearing on the
doorsteps, and taking advantage Of
momentary lull in the cat calls which
her appearance had excited, asked the
boys if they would not come In and
have some coffee and cakes.
Visions of cops" with big clubs, be
hind the door naturally occurred 10 the
minds Of the prospective guests; but
when a few Of the more venturesome had
sided in, and no attacks, apparently,
had been made on them, the others
took courage and followed them, TO find
themselves quietly welcomed 10 the sim
pie repast which the lady had plen-
tsously provided as the most practical
form in which to administer her Goals
OF fire. Every one had as much as he
wanted, no reference was made TO the
cause of the broken glass, and each boy
was treated with a kindness and courtesy
quite unexpected, in view OF the fact
that within "a few moments he had been
engaged in smashing his hostess win
dows.
When the supper had all been alb
sorbed the boys We're sent forth with
pleasant good night to rgminate on their
evenings experiences, and 10 decide
which part of the evening had been the
more njoyable-defacing the exterior Of
the mission building or being treated
with kindness and courtesy within its
walls, and their decision soon became
apparent. for the boys were soon back
again, not for coffee and cakes, but 20
ask if they could not come in and play
games-tboUgh there was little IN the
room but an atmosphere Of kindness and
good breeding. -Evert Jansen Wendell

land and made similar notation and
thus he made settlement on what he
alleges was the tract he intended for his
homestead under the provisions of the
homestead law
1t can not be denied that the friend who
entered the territory prior to the hour
fixed in the proclamation Of the president
rendered Payne valuable and material
assistance. II is denied by both Payne
and his friend that the exchange of horses
was made in pursuance of any prior
arrangement. but that it was only Incl
dental, resulting from the breaking Of the
saddle girtb; but no explanation is
given why the friend was waiting by
the roadside with the horse, who had be
come at least partially rested, nor If
Payne's horse was still fresh who horses
were exchanged instead OF saddles.
Whether previously intended or not, there
was in effect relay of horses, and this re-
lay was made possible by entering the ter
ritory prior to the hour fixed by the procla-
nation.
The assistance rendered by friends gave
Payne an advantage over Others, and this
advantage was gained by unlawful means,
inasmuch as the aid was rendered bS par
ties who entered the territory prior TO 70
O'Clock noon. Taking the whole history of
the case into consideration | am unable to
arrive at the conclusion that Payne, either
in the conception or execution of his set
Element on this land, acted in good faith
as the bona tide claimant under the home
stead law and in the absence of good faith
no claim can be recognized. All the facts
indicate that the claim was taken for spec
ulatiYe purposes only and that 1t was not
taken for agricultural purposes and for
the purposes OF a home. or, at least, for
home as contemplated by the homestead

From the dispatches yesterday morn
ing from Atchison it seems that for
once the expected happened; that is. the
long looked for Doniphan cutoff in the
bend of the Missouri river has finally
occurred, transferring the body of the
rivers current across Missouri terrltor V,
leaving something like 1900 acres of
Missouri land on the Kansas side of the
Iiver. If this change in the channel
shall be permanent it would seem that
Kansas is gamer by 1900 acres in the

cision of the United States supreme

FARMERS, SAVE YOUR FRUIT.

An appeal was lately made to the
Wichita Board of Trade asking its good
offices in making some special arrange
ments with the railroads for marketing
the surplus fruit of south Kansas. That
organization could suggest no feasible
general plan. In this connection we de-
sire to say to fruit growers that there is
in the market several kinds of evapora-
tors which might be proftably utilized
in solving the fruit problem. These con-
trivances vary in price from S25 to $500.
They are from sizes that can be set on a
cook stove with capacity of drying and
bleaching five bushels of green apples in
twenty-four hours to fifty and sixty
bushels in as many hours. They are for
sale by hardware men generally. One
bushel of apples yields about six pounds
of dried fruit worth from 10 to Is cents
per pound. One bushelof peaches yields
about five and one-half pounds worth
from 30 to 35 cents per pound; if peaches
are impaired, about eight and one-half
pounds worth from 10 to 20 cents per
pound. And 50 in proportion all the
fruits and berries. The cores and pulp
Of cider mills thus prepared bring a good
price and are shipped to France for wine
purposes. Not only will these evapora-
tors take care of fruit, but of squashes,
pumpkins, corn, etc.

According to statictics furnished from
the treasury department OF the general
government, the immigration to the
United States from the balance of the
world during the seventy years, from
1920 to 1890, amounted 70 lust one
fourth of the present population of this
country. That would make the popula-
ton OF foreign origin and extraction
fully thirty-three per cent of the whole.
The population of the United States is
the most thoroughly cosmopolitan of
any nation or country on earth. And
yet it is beyond question lie most COM
pletely nationalized of any other; that is
TO say, there are proportionately fewer
lacking in loyalty 10 the government
and in sympathy with its Institutions
than Id any country on earth.

A. p. Hulse, late Of the custom house,
tells good story of some flibustering
that came under his notice years ago:
In 1859 Harry Maury, a midshipman,
who had resigned from the service OF
the United States government, was in
command of a brig off Mobile bay The
vessel was loaded with fhbusters for
Walker and was Oyerhauled by a revenue
cutter. An officer went aboard in the
night with instructions to seize the yes
sci and bring her to Mobile. Maury,
who was equal to the emergency, pre-
pared himself by unshackling the anchor
from the chain and fastening lantern
to pole. When the vessel arrived at
Dog River bar it was hailed from the
cutter and ordered to come TO.
Then came the order, Let 60 your
anchor" Maury let go. PAY out
thirty fathoms Of chain" was the next
order. Maury ran the chain through
the hawser hole and over the rail back
on deck. He was ordered next to hoist
a light, which be did by lighting the
lantern already affixed 10 the pole and
sticking the latter in the mud He then.
when all was quiet, put of down the
bay, leaving the cutter watching the
light, which it did until morning.
In the meantime the officer from the
cutter, who was in charge Of the filibus-
tering vessel, was down IN the cabin
playing cards. On arrival at the en-
trance Of tho harbor the officer was
tapped on the shoulder and told Of where
they were and asked If he wished % 20
ashore. A boat was at his service and
he took it, returning to the cutter IN
time 10 share the chagrin Of his mates

The story told by Gen. Osborne, who
has just returned to Chicago from Chile,
in regard TO the condition of affairs in
that country. and particularly of the
character and actions of Balmaceda, the
president. would seem 70 afford sufficient
warrant for interference on the part of
other nations in the interest of humanity.
From moral and humanitarian stand
point the revoluuoniSts seem 10 be fully
iustifiahle in their revolt against the
reign Of such a man backed by such in
fluences as sustain him. With the state
of case as given by Gen. Osborne exist
ing there the sympathy OF the civilized
world will go out to the revolutionists,
together with a fervent wish for their
speedy triumph.
