IMPORTANT TO WHEAT RAIsERs

From the Barber County Index.
Mr.. G. L. Graves, trustee of Elwood
township settled down on a 100 acre
farm three years ago in the Mule creek
country, Barber county, in drouthy Kan
sas, without even horse to start on.
Managing to get team lie turned his
attention to wheat raising, and met with
remarkable success. He now has farm
well improved, has $50 acres of land and
has Just bargained for $50 more. His
wheat field this year is a remarkable
sight, ali waist high and heavily headed,
covering 100 acres. He is now in the
midst of his harvest. His plan is to
plant early, plow deep and harrow what
he plows each day before shutdown. He
and his neighbor, Mr.. Burnam, have
made some interesting experiments on
smut. The seed they planted without
soaking has brought wheat full OF smut.
That soaked in water gives wheat with
little smut; that soaked in vitrol water
gives wheat entirely free from
smut. Seven pounds Of vitrol
costing % cents per pound, he found to
be enough for 100 bushels of seed. Mr..
Graves says that the failure to Use vltrlOl
water last year cost him $3.50, and he
thinks the use of this precaution will
save the farmers of the county thousands
of dollars, Smut is the result of faulty
seeding, not faulty cultivation. Mr..
Baiiey'S wheat is entirely free from
smut He soaked all his seed in vitriol
water. Mr.. Hern has also beautiful
piece of wheat. MIR. Graves also has
given much attention to fruit culture.
He has growing now 90 acres of fruit
trees Of all varieties, including 81 va
rieties of apples, besides 10000 walnut
trees, all looking fine. This is natural
fruit country, trees grow while you
sleep, and every 100 ought to have five
or ten acres. We hope to receive many
short communications from Mr.. Graves
and ttherS on the culture offruit, wheat.

A WEDDING FEE.
The Rustic Who Paid Mr.. Beeeher
Dollar.


Dollar.
Most clergymen can doubtless recall
many amusing incidents connected with
marriages they have been called upon
to perform. While at the west Mr..
Beecher was often sent for to marry
persons living at a distance from the
city, in the half-settlcd country, some
times eight or ten miles distant. Among
the farmers such weddings were usual
ly in the evening, when the neigh bors
in all directions were invited to be
present and partake of a most generous
and elaborate supper, always expected
after the ceremony.
On one occasion the wedding was 10
take place at an unusually long dis
lance in the country. II was a very
stormy day, with no promise Of any
change at night. As the ride TO the
place would be by daylight, Mr.. Beech
or could reach the house without any
very great discomfort.
The Lighthouse was packed with the
guests, and after the ceremony Mr.
Beecher was urged TO remain and par
take with them of the renarka blv in
viting supper. But it was growing
darker and raining very hard, and with
the long ride before him he was obliged
70 decline
When his horse was brought the
groom followed to the door, saying.

II trust. none" said Mr.. Beecher,
smiling.

"Oh, whatever you please"
The man took a roll of bills from his
pocket and began looking them over,
muttering 70 himself as he took up each
bill: "One dollar, three dollars, I'VE
dollars; no-but two dollars Over
this latter amount he paused a mo-
ment, then turning the bills back re-
peated the same, in dreamy sort Of
way, as If uncertain what he ought 20
do, but at last. leaving one dollar ia
his baud, ne rolled up the Others. and
putting them in his pocket handed Mr..
Beechsr one dollar, saying. VIII that

'Oh, yes, Good night. said Nr.

ECZEMA ON A LADY
Her Face and Body. Many Doctors
Baffled.
Marvellous and Complete Cure by Cutf-
cura. Six Years Have Elapsed
and No Return.

A lady customer of ours Miss Fanny Atwood of
Caroline Depot, N. Y. has been cured of a stub
born case of skin disease by the use of CUTICURA
REMEDIES. She remarked that her case had baffied
the skill of many weli-known physicians. They
unanimously pronounced 1t Eczema, with Rheu-
N atism lurking in the blood. Some predicted that
any treatment strong enough to cure the Eczema
would surely increase the rheumatism. Sine used
two sets of the CUTICURA REMEDIES. The effect
was marvellous. Her case of Eczema was not only
completely cured, but her Rheumatism greatly
relieved during the treatment. Six years have
elapsed since the cure was performed, her Rheu-
matisD has since never increased by the treatment,
but rather diminished, and she sees symptoms
of the return of the Eczema which once so conl-
pletely took possession of her face and body. Miss
Atwood delights in telling Of the good effects that
mends unsolicited the CUTICURA REMEDIES for
Eczema and all kindred ailments. Your prepara-
tionS find ready sale; indeed, CUTICURA SOAP is
Oh the list to buy almost continuously.

SWEET BULLISH PEACE
SENDS PRICES AwAY UP ON YESTER-
DAYS STOCK MARKET.

Lackawanna and Consolidated Gas, Arm
and Arm, Show the Highest Advance
Louisville In the Afternoon Scores About
the Only Loss-Bonds Active.
NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The stock market was
still under the influence Of the Chilean mat
ter, but its effect was on the side of the bulls
to-day, and while the transactions contin-
ued to show their professional character,
there was a wide distribution of business,
and the whole list shared in the improve
ment. The first sales here were at ma
terially higher figures than the close of last
night. Among the active stocks those which
opened at less than l per cent better, were
exceptional. Lackawanna and Cleveland,
Columbus, Cincinnati and st. Louis were up
1ss per cent.
The sharp advance naturally brought
large amount of stocks on the market, but
the demand was 80 urgent that all offering s
were absorbed, and while the first few min
utes saw some concessions from the OPEN
ing prices the upward movement soon made
headway. Lackawanna was forced to the
front. and trading in that stock assumed
large proportions. The price was run up and
it closed at close to the best price. Reading
was active in sympathy, and under the
buying by Western operators the Changers
