STOCK AND FARM.

Seneca Tribune: A half dozen break
ing plows are running on the half sec
ton one and one half miles northwest
of town, and it is expected the ground
will all be put in fax.
At Lacrosse the prospect for wheat
was never better. At least five thousand
acres will be broken this season. Stock
is in good shape. w. J. Veale of Tope-
ka sold several very fine draft stations
in this country this spring.
Atwood Citizen: J. E. Foster of
Achilles, is one of the most successful
farmers of his section, and last year
raised in the neighborhood of 10000
bushels Of wheat and 500 bushels of
corn. He will put in another large crop
this spring and will make it win.
johnson City Journal: Our farmers
are very busy preparing for spring
crops. As most of the broken ground
was put to wheat and rye it necessitates
breaking a large acreage of sod this
season, and our farmers are at work
with vim that commands prosperity.
Salina Republican: Mr.. johnson, of
Chicago, has shipped a car load of
horses TO Chicago. Nearly all of them
are Shetland ponies and were brought
from the ranch of Jim Williams. This
makes about ten cars of horses that
have been shipped from Saline county
this spring.
Cedar Vale Star: j. S. Edwards
thinks he made little money on the SO
head of New Mexico cattle which he
marketed last week. They brought
1885, weighing $50. They didn't cost
him but $1,000 at the start, were
roughed through last winter on his own
roughness and only got $12 worth of
corn to the head to make them ready
| for market.
Stockton News: Some prairie has
been broken and it is the talk that more
than 900 acres will be turned over this
/ spring within a radius of two miles of
Mt. Vernon school house. Kaffir and
cane will be planted on most of it, to be
cut off before planting wheat in the fall.
One man says he will fasten the hand
planter to his breaker and work the
handle every third round.
Englewood Chief: L. E. Curtis, from
Coon creek, in Beaver county, reports
that his cattle came through the winter
in good shape and are strong and
healthy. He thinks his cattle owe their
/ healthy condition to about twenty acres
of rye, on which he let them run at
times. Mr.. Curtis says he has raised
three splendid crops of rye in success
sion, and the more he finds out about il
| the better he likes it.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 28.-Some time
ago a special agent of the postofhce depart
ment preferred charges against George
Richie, of LeayenwOrth. A careful investi-
2 ition was made by the department and il
has been given out that Richie was com
pletely exOnerated. The charges were TO the
effect that a letter containing a pension or
der for an invalid widow had been given to
the wrong person, and the one receiving the
letter had held the order to force payment of
a certain debt before surrendering it, The
charges were found to be untrue and the
trouble ended.
The department Is also investigating some
charges made against the postmaster at Ian
sing. They are not of a serious character.

Fought and Cot Ftfth Filling.

GUTHRIE, o. T., April 22.-AIiss Connie
Sorensen, ahandsOme young lady of this city,
was in the terrible riot at Oklahoma City land
Office at noon and was badly bruised up.
When the rush was made for the door by the
wild throng she fought violently for her
rights and managed to get into the door and
secure the fifth filing. She filed on a quarter
section adjoining the town of ArapahOe, and
her claim is worth s. COO.
1t took her over an hour to fight her way
out of the crowd after she made her filing,
and she will remember the experience as
long as she lives. Men and women we're
trampled under foot before her. One woman
had nearly all her clothes torn on, and man
was struck over the head and fatally injured,
his blood squirting all over the people near
hin.

4 Great Irritation sche,ne.

Yuma's great canal is the most gigan- tic irrigation enterprise as yet taken in hand Tn Arizona To tunnel through a hill or mountain side so as to take the water of the Colorado without dam ming the stream, which is the present plan and that recommended by the Eng fish irrigation engineers, then to bring the water down on both sides of the river, with an aqueduct across the Gila, so as to irrigate the two million acres of rich land lying adjacent to Muma in Arizona, California, Sonora and Lower California; in fact to build this canal ninety miles in length, one hun dred feet in width at the bottom and twelve feet deep is not the work of an hour nor the task of child, and yet this is but the outline of this great work, all of which is going to be done,
 and that, too. in the near future.
