HOMES IN WESTERN KANSAS.

One of the strongest auguries for the
future of western Kansas is the deter
mination manifested by the holders of
the land to turn their holdings to ac-
count. 1t is well known fact that loan
companies have had to take considerable
advances were made in satisfaction of
said loans, and that these companies
still hold portion of such acquisitions.
The results of the past year or two at
wheat raising have been such as to dem
onstrate that the lands of western Kan
sas as specially adapted to the produc-
ton of that cereal. and this led to
large increase in the acreage put to that
crop last fall. Encouraged by the very
fattering prospects for another good
crop this season arrangements are being
made already to extend the area to be
put under cultivation another season,
and to that end the holders of the large
tracts are contracting to have their lands
broken out this spring.
There are several steam-plowing out
fits now at work in as many counties
breaking out sod lands. and the prospect
is that the present acreage in cultivation
will be doubled.
And not only so, but unusual interest
has been taken in tree planting this
spring out there. And then. as auxiliary
to these substantial efforts looking to the
permanent improvement of the country,
the system of irrigation is being ex-
tended and amphfied to degree that
will in a comparatively short time bring
the entire irrigable area under it and
into the highest state of cultivation.
These conditions render very much of
the area that has long been considered
worthless for agricultural purposes most
desirable for farms and homes, and can
not fail to create a demand for such
holdings from homeseekers. And the

ton OF the large number who are sure

According TO the traditions of the
church, and the written history as far
as it goes, today is the eighteen hundred
and fifty-ninth anniversary of the culmi-
nation of the greatest event, to the human
trace, that has occurred since the crea-
fion of the world, i. e., the resurrection
of the Savior of mankind. Authorities
differ as to the exact date, but today is
agreed upon by common consent, for
although the Jew does not attach the
same significance to the event that the
christian does, yet the decendent of Jacob
is reminded by it of the most wonderful
event of the early history of that ''pe-
culiar people, the passing of the angel
of death over the houses of the faithful
Hebrew, on that Hateful night in Egypt.

sold it to Messrs. NJ P. Gretchen and
Charles A. Bruce of Sedgwick and will
step down and out on May 2, proximo.
The Paragraph in Cash Taylor's hands
has been forceful factor in the upbuild-

that portion of the Happy Valley, and
his wise counselings through the
columns of the Paragraph will be
missed. The new proprietors are new to
the work but the wish is that they will
be able to hold the paper up to its

One chief justice of the supreme court,

AS Topeka, Shawnee county, already

not make very much difference to give
them half dozen more.

A True Story.

= TUG OVOIys
From tile Neodesha Register.
Many years ago it used to be said of
the Kansas wind that it blew so hard
that it would blow an Indian up against
the side of barn and hold him there till
he starved to death.-Eagle.
We have seen it stated that Kansas
wind blew sheaf of wheat head fore
most against sod house and held it
there until the wheat sprouted and the
roots took hold so firmly as to uphold
the weight of the bundle when the wind
ceased. but we always believed that to
be lie. The Indian story we know TO
be true, as the red mans bones may be
seen now in one of the Indian burying
grounds near this city.

The old Indian spirit is very strong in
the breast of one Cheyenne, Maggie, who,
the soldiers say, was formerly the most
mischievous of the whole tribe. He is a
fine looking Indian, and has obtained the
name of 1.-The Dude" because of the care
he takes of his personal appearance. He
wears the scar of a saber cut across his
chin and hates the white man. He has
taken his allotment among the red hills
because, as he told Captain Woodson, it
was in a place where TIE white men
would never care to 90.

1t is perhaps fortunate circumstance
for Britain that her main reliance for
force, offensive and defensive, is in her
navy, inasmuch as her army for home
defense is like a sucked lemon. Other
wise she might become embarrassed in
some of her foreign relations, to the ex-
tent Of jeopordizing her home interests.

REPUBLICAN EDITORS.

The second annual meeting of the Re-
publican editors of tine Big Seventh will
be held at Sterling on the 10Th and Goth,
Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
The sessions for both days will be inter
spersed with lively speeches and discus
sions, the subjects being for the most
part political ones. The meeting will
prove of no little Importance, and in a
party sense. The recent southern tour
taken by those who desired, was one of
both profit and pleasure to the partici-
pants and proves what may be done by
concert of action. The banquets and
entertainments given to the association
at its place of meeting, have thus far,
been of the most excellent character.
Arrangements are now in progress for a
trip to Chicago to attend the worlds
fair, and others will follow that will
furnish members, at small expense,
means of enjoyment as we'll as research.
The meeting at Sterling will be the
largest ever held in the history of the
organization and that the interest is well
bestowed is shown by the sub-ioined
program:

The state board of agriculture reports
the value of all farm productions for the
year 1891 at $3.50, S1l, 372 II, as coming
from 17,518,01S acres, out of the 90, 1885,

This magnificent agricultural state
needs no better recommendation to the
consuming markets of the world than
these figures, and they will not pass by
any such array of trade without bidding
well to get it. Again, take down the
map of the United States and study the
location of Kansas, her relation to all

connections, consider her productions in
