II. Nickerson, the drill owner, has
struck third flow of natural gas in the
Etna Light and Fuel company's well at
Independence at depth of something
near 500 feet. It was quite strong and
forced the water out of the well and for
q time was kept burning. Gas was
found in three stratas and is very strong,
but the water makes it expensive to
control. The we'll has been piped and
an attempt was MADE to pack it, but it
failed, and Mr.. Nickerson went to Kan
sas City to get a packer that will do
its work. This we'll, No. 1, has demon
strated that we have gas, and now ar
rsngements are being made to bore sew
eral others.

FROM far Western regions comes
the tale Of a man who was killed by
. dead snake. This story is so thrill
ing that it is best not to mention the
name Of the place where the incident
occurred. Snake bites from live
snake are bad enough, but when it
comes to bites from dead ones, the
place where such reptiles live, or once
lived, is good country TO avoid. 1t
might be bad for the growth of the
town if revealed its location. This
farmer went out one morning to chop
wood. Perceiving a snake near his
wood-pile, he chopped it into little
bits and threw all the pieces
broadcast as a warning to other
snakes not to venture too near his
woOd-pile. AS he picked up the por-
tion containing the mouth of the
snake it closed upon his finger, but
he thought nothing further about the
matter. Two weeks later, however,
the finger began to swell, and within
a couple of hours he died. Thus we
see that in these Western districts
dead snakes are as dangerous as live
ones

worse, blunts his sensibilities on the
one hand, and increases the power of
passionate irritability on the other.
The truth is, the more peaceably and
quietly we get on, the better for all.
In nine cases out of ten, the better
course is. if a man cheats you, quit
dealing with him; if he is abusive,
quit his company; and if he ISLANDERS
you, take good care to live so that
nobody will believe him No matter
who he is, or how he misuses you, the
wisest way is to let him alone; for
there is nothing better than this cool,
calm and quiet way of dealing with
the wrongs we meet with.

STOCK AND FARM.

Near Anthony Hammers & Care raised
this year 500 acres of broom corn in one
field.
Great Bend Register: The corn crop
is surprising eastern people, who have
unable to make corn crop. There is
no better corn anywhere than can be
found in Barton county.
Kinsley Mercury: Billy Erwin re-
ports a large increase in the lumber
trade. A large number of farmers are
building additions to their dwellings
and new barns and stables The Kan
sas stable consisting of the warm side OF
fodder stack, will soon be a thing Of
the past in this country.
The acre set aside IN 1851 at the State
Agricultural college, to be used for con-
tlnuous cropping with wheat, without
the use of manure, green crops or any
kind of renovating treatment other than
good culture, has this year produced its
twelfth crop. Its product this year
was thirty-one and three-tenths bushels
being a half bushel more than last
years crop. The variety this year was
the Curren wheat, while for several
years past the Zimmerman variety has
been used.

Origin of Envelopes.

A Brighton stationer. we are told,
took fancy for dressing his show
window with piles OF writing-paper,
rising gradually from the largest to
the smallest sizes in use, and, to fin
ish his pyramids off nicely, he cut
cards to bring them to point. TAX
ing these cards for diminutive note
paper, lady-customers were continu-
ally wanting some of ''that lovely
little paper" and the stationer found
it advantageous to cut paper to the
desired pattern. As there was no
space for addressing the notelets after
they were folded, he, after much
thought, invented the envelope, which
he cut by the aid of metal plates
made for the purpose. The sale in
creased so rapidly that he was unable
to produce the envelopes fast enough;
so he commissioned a dozen houses to
make them for him, and thus set go
ing an important branch Of the man
ufacturing stationery trade.

to fate, but not he. He got the doors
unlocked, settled himself in his room
and is waited on by his own attend
