Pasturing sheep.

Pasturing sheep in fields adjoining
a railroad is a bad practice. Every
time train passes they start off on a
run. The young lambs often get
knocked over, tramplei upon and in
jured. Such excitement in tiocks is
detrimental to thrift. A new railroad
in Ohio was constructed within a few
rods of the extensive barns of a sheep
feeder and dealer. Passing trains
kept the animals in such a state OF eX-
citcment that they would not half
fatten,' as he expressed it, and there
was no money in it, Finally he had
to move his barns. Ohio Farmer.

Pig Scraps.

The swi,l barrel should always be as
sweet and clean as possible. The sour,
greasy, dirty one has sent many fine lot
of pigs to the bone yard, and the wonder
with the owners was what allied the pigs.
The reputation of q sire or dam should
never sell pig, but rather the qualities
of the pig itself. Without individual merit
pedigree and notable ancestry stand for
naught. We wish all men who breed hogs
or any other stock would recognize this
fact.
1t is well to remember that the SOW is
one of the most pliable machines in the
hands of the farmer, and that according
to the feed and care will be the work
done. Periods Of rest must follow tho
hardest work if she is to be a long-lived
worker. In no case should this valuable
animal receive any less careful attention
than the machinist bestows ON his costly
and much priced machinery. Lack of at
tention limits the life and working powers
of both.

1t is universally conceded that it is
cheaper to work in the line of preven-

cure disease when once it has hold

| LETTER FROM n. j. HINER.

A LETTER FROM n. j. HINER.
We have received a very interesting
letter from Uncle Bob liner, but II Is
almost TOO lengthy for publication,
although most Of our readers would
be pleased TO read every word OF 1t.
Mr.. Iliner is located at Seattle, Wash.
ington, and we would like 10 have
some Of the dissatisfied grumblers III
Baxter Springs and Cherokee county
note what he says with regard to that
wonderful country:
"The saying of p. 4. Barnum that
the American people like ~ be hum
brgged' is eXempliiied here every day.
This great city has u population OF
10000, has more than 500 miles OF
street railway, public buildings built
Oh the most artistic modern plans at
an enormous cost, has a bonded In
debtedness of more than the law will
allow, has but little resources, only
lumber, coal and wheat, the imports
being much greater than the exports,
and taken altogether nice place for
rich man to spend his money and u
very hard place for a poor man. MY
advice TO every poor man IN Baxter Is
TO remain where he is and attend to
his knitting more closely.
"City property Ia very high. ruling
from $4,000 TO 100000 for a naked lot
a mile away from the business center.
Farming lands anywhere within ten
miles OF the city from $500 TO $1,000
per acre, and 1t costs from 5000 TO $500
per acre to fit 1t for the plow. There
Is only u small area of land here sus-
ceptible of cultivation, 1t being IN the
valleys which are very narrow. l
know some men here who pay 800 per
acre rent annually aud it takes ten
times the labor here 10 cultivate land
that II does in Kansas. l am some
what like the man vino had the bear
by the tail want some one 10 help
me let CO."
We doubt if Bro. Hiner exaggerates
one whit with regard to Washington
and we might add the whole Of the
Pacific and Rocky mountain states.
They are not suitable for the rich man
and are proving much worse for the
poor man. If southeastern Kansas
was known and advertised as the
Pacific states have been our farms and
city property would he selling at many
times their present price and II our
people would display the proper ener-
w aud do more work and less talk we
would soon have u tide of emigration
pouring in that would bring us all out
of the hole. The opening is right here
and there never was u better time to
commence than now. Let all The pa
pers of Cherokee county devote a
column each week showing up the
agricultural and mineral resources of
the county and then let these papers
he sent abroad where they will do
some good. Let every property owner
take an interest IN his own town and
county and with an abiding faith In
our own resources the prosperity
which we are longing TO: and which
we hoped to obtain in some far distant
land will begin to dawn on US right
here at homework without end.
Amen.

A Mother Finds Two Sons Who Did
Not Know They Were Brothers.
From the Neo York Press.
mother, after many years of searching,
has found her two sons, one Of whom had
never known her, and two brothers who
had met only as strangers have been brought
together.
On May paragraph appeared In daily
newspaper of this city asking for any in
formation concerning the whereabouts Of
Charles E. Prescott, Edwin Prescott or
Harriet Prescott. In 1869 Charles Prescott
lived with his wife on Sixteenth street, near
Sixth avenue.
In that year their first son was born, and
shortly after birth the father placed the
child in the care of Mrs. Philiy Riley, of
No. IA Greenwich street, agreeing to pay
$40 month for its cure. A year later
another son. Edwin, was born. Unexpect-
eddy Mrs. Riley, moved from the city, and
almost simultaneously Prescott changed his
residence. In this manner all communities
ton with the guardian Of the first born was
cut of. The second born left home eight
years ago.
The two brothers. strangers to each other,
met while at work in the city. They did
not discover their relationship until brought
face to face by answering in person Mrs.
Riley's advertisement of May 8. Both were
overjoyed at meeting, and at once repaired
to the home Of their long-Tost mother, where
they received a royal welcome.

deep water. Then each, in turn, selling her

A HISTORIC STANDARD.
Discovery of the Flag held by Lincoln
at Gettysburg in 1864.

at G6CtySDurR IN 1904.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Adjt. Gen. McClelland has been making
an overhauling of his department at Har-
risburg, which has been extended to an ex-
animation of the musty relics stored In the
departments rooms in the capitol He dis
covered the flag and staff held by Preside MT
Lincoln when at Gettysburg on July 4,
1854, he described the government as one
"oi the people, by the people, and for the
people"
While delivering these Immortal words
he held in his right hand the staff aud flag
that was 30 Unexpectedly discovered by
Adjt. Gen. Mcclellan last week. The flag
is heavy silk regulation standard Of the
state, and consists of blue field with the
state coat of arms on one side and the coat
of arms of the nation on the reverse.
1t was found in storeroom with two
other stands Of colors of the First Pennsyl-
vania Militia, which had been issued dur
ing the war to a Plttsburg regiment which
was the nucleus of the present famous
Duquesne Grays of Pittsberg, and the
Eighteenth Regiment, n. G. P.
What disposition will be made of these
historic colors has not been determined, but
they will probably receive post of honor
in the flag room at the capitol. The
standards are in perfect state of preserva-

The flag was examined by scores of visi-
tors, and it was suggested that the standard
be taken to Chicago and placed on exhibit
ton during the worlds fair in 1898. The
suggestion was made to Gen. McClelland,
who seid that he would submit the PROPOSE
ton to Gov. Pattison.

Georgetown, KY, Passing Through q

WICHITA, Kan, Aug. 31.-The boldest
robbery Of grain ever known in this
section is reported from Kingman
county. John Myrick, farmer from
the southwestern part of the county,
had rented piece of wheat land close
to Norwich. After cutting and stack
ing his crop safely, he went home. The
rented Land is long way from his own
place and Myrick is, therefore, unknown
in the neighborhood of Norwich, SO that
when q stranger presented himself un-
der the name of Myrick, there was no
question to his title to the wheat. A
threshing outfit was engaged and team
sters to cart the grain to Norwich, the
work being done at night because of q
tendency to sunstroke which prevented
his working in the sun alleged by the
supposed Myrick. Before morning the
best part of the grain had been threshed
and delivered to a buyer in Norwich,
and the money for the grain was safely
in the robbers pocket. By telling the
threshers to be there the next night tc
finish up, the stranger avoided paying
for the work already done; but wher
evening came Myrick appeared and il
was ascertained that the man had left
Norwich by an early morning east bound
train, taking with him the proceeds

Pedro Mont, the chief representative is

were received during the evening from
prominent people in Chill, who are in
sympathy with the Congressional forces.
When asked what the status of
United States Minister Egan would be
if the Congressional party took control
of the government, Mr.. Foster said:
ssHe cannot remain as the United States
minister. We would request the United
States government to recall him. We
could not put up with man who has been
partial to Balmaceda, and an enemy to

SETTLED BEYOND DOUBT.



Conflicting Reports of the Last Few Days
Set at Rest by Oficial News.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The official
news Of the insurgent victory in Chill
caDled to the state department by the
United States consul at Valparaiso set
tied beyond doubt the conflicting re-
ports Of the past few days concerning
the condition of affairs at the seat of
war. The receipt of dispatches from
Valparaiso telling of o victory for the
Balmacedists Is explained by state and
navy department officials q resulting
from Balmaceda's control OF the cable
line from that city. Doubt as to the
absolute authenticity of these dispatches
was expressed in official circles
for the reason that it is a custom in
vogue here, part of diplomatic eti-
quette, in fact, that when minister re-
ceives an important dispatch from his
home government that is given part for
publication, it is sent at once to the state
department for the information of this
government. This was not done, and as
result, the department officials and the
members of the diplomatic corps now
in town discredit the stories and i'm
clined to the belief that there was moth
inc more than some slxirmishing. From
Consul McCreary's dispatch it would
seem that this belief is corr ect.

TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 31.--A highly
sensational story in connection with the
absconding of Teller Albertson, of the
Fidelity Trust Company's bank, was
told by gentleman claiming to be con-
versant with the facts, and the point of
his narrative is the alleged fact that
Albertson got away with 100000 in
securities in addition TO the $1,000 in
cash. It Is stated that Albertson, hav-
ing access to the vaults, took the $780,
600 in securities, and then, while in hid
ing, notified the trust company that he
would return the same provided his
theft of $1,000 would be overlooked.
Louis d. Cambell, attorney for and one
of the most influential directors of the
trust company, when asked if there was
any truth in the above statement,
promptly denied the whole story. 1t
was also rumored that Albertson some
time ago got away with $4,000.
