Centralia Journal: F. A. Sickle had
two fine Durham COWS killed by the cars
last week. They were appraised at $50
each and demand was sent to the com
pany for that amount. The Central
Branch company has always been very
prompt in the payment for stock they
have killed.
Independence Reporter: T. Van
Ausdal is intending to stock Table
Mound and vicinity with Chinese pleas
ants, to provide sport for the hunters.
These fowls are very plentiful in the
northwest, and DR.. Masterman informed
us before leaving for Idaho that he in
tends to ship some to this country.
Topeka Capital: There were shipped
from Topeka the other day AIS boxes,
12,45O dozens, or 149, 400 eggs, bound
for Buffalo, New York. They were all
collected, sent in and packed in less than
three days. The eggs were all bought
within a short distance of Topeka. Who
can say that Kansas hens can't get
rustic on them when it is necessary to
keep the hungry New Workers from
starving.
Topeka Capital: The principal dona-
ton of the week to the Orphans home
was check for 5000 from the ladies of
the Topeka Turn Verein society, which
they raised for the Orphans home by
social entertainment. The amount was
added to the building fund at their re-
quest. This generous gift was received
with many expressions of delight from
the society, and will go far in assisting
the ladies toward procuring home for
these little orphans.

Union Pacific railway has compiled a

over last years acreage. In ten coun-
ties the condition is given as excellent,
very good in three, fine in five, fair in
five, and good in nine.
Osborne News: From Register of
Deeds Lawson we learn that the number
of mortgages recorded for the month of
January was twenty-nine, while releases
aggregated fifty; in February only
nineteen mortgages went on record and
sixty-nine were Cancelled. From present
appearances Mr.. Lawson thinks the
month of March will beat all previous
records in cleaning up old debts. The

Kansas and especially for Osborne
county.
Oxford Mocking Bird: There has
| been quite a good deal OF inquiry of
late, as to whether man who owns $50
acres Of land could take a claim or not.
| We were shown a letter the other day,
direct from the general land Office at
| Washington, which says that if man
has no more than 100 acres of land, and
is not otherwise disqualified, he is emit
| tied to a homestead. If he owns more
than 100 acres in any state, he cannot
take a homestead. This will cut out
several persons around here who are
calculating on getting a claim in the
strip.
Cedar Vale Star: The poultry mar.
ket continues to hold up well, our mer
chants paying cents a pound for gooc
hens, but eggs dropped to 81 cents the
first of the week. Apples are slow sale
the demand being confined to local con.
sumption, but choice selected fruit
brings about 60 cents bushel when
buyer can be found. This is lower thar
apples have sold here before in March
but We have Just supply enough to over
stock our home market and not enough
to warrant shipping. Dried fruit is als'
offered in excess OF demand, and price
are low accordingly-apples slow at
cents, and peaches no go at 3 cents.
