Wool.

Shearing is late on account of the cold
weather. Almost all who have sheared have
sold their wool promptly, which has proved
20 be the wisest course. Very few merchants
and wool dealers are piling up their wool "a
wait for buyer. They either ship the wool in
i've and ten bag lots 10 our indianapolis deal,
ers or ship east 90 the commission houses
These small shipments are so numerous 70 thiS
city that the dealers are unable to grade and
report on the wool as fast as il arrives. The
orders which one Of our dealers was so fort
innate as to get early in the season will be filed
when the wool now in sight is graded, and they
are now ct seA much as any one as 20 the
real values of wool. The uncertainty as TO
tariff legislation and the tight money market
make future values very problematioal. No
eastern buyers are in this market so far as we
can learn. Dealers here are still paying foI

THE TREASURY SITUATION

Viewed With Equanimity by the Depart
ment OficiaIs.
Since Jan. S6O,OOOOOO in gold has been
exported to Europe and the export move
ment instead of having sbated seems to
have received fresh impetus. Most Of
this gold was taken from the L. S. treas.
ury, and practically all that is now being
exported comes from tho same source. In
that time the treasury department has
sustained net loss of S25. SD, 243. The
gold holdings within the five months Of
this year have at times fuctuased, but
since the first OF May the gold has
been nearly always below the limit of the
reserve of SI0O.000OO0. 1t IS today in
vaded 10 the extent of more than 81, 000.-
600 and advices received from New York
show that with the gold engaged for ship
ment on Tuesday and Wednesday
3, 200. O0O-the total net gold remaining in
the treasury will be about 500 100000. the
lowest figure reached since the resump-
ton of specie payments. In addition to
this large engagement there are reports
current here from sources usually reliable
that more gold will 90 out on next Satur-
day, sufficient. IL is said. 10 reduce the
gold holdings to S9O.0OO0O0.
Despite these heavy shipments, treas
ury officials express great confidence IN
the ability Of the treasury 10 restore the
gold balance. They point TO the fact that
there is gradual and healthy inflow of
gold from natural causes 10 the treasury.
which is only temporarily checked by the
large amounts taken for export.
cessation of gold exports in large amounts
is looked for by July !. as 1t Is understood

supplied.
A peculiar and encouraging feature OF
the decrease OF gold is that correspond
ing increase is shown in the net treasury
balance. That balance today Is S25. 49,
1913, or nearly a million dollars greater
than il was on March 7. when Secretary
Carlisle took official charge of the treasury

]. f. Berry & Co.'s Chicago sdvices are as
follows:
The week opens very unfavorable to holders
of everything. There is scarcely anything that
is marketable. but there are more offerings
than buyers. Foreign markets are lower. One
OF the most potent causes OF the decline of "a
cents in wheat is the New York H'rGtdS for
eign Rdvices giving reports OF greatly improved
conditions owing TO recent rains In all the
large grain producing countries abroad. The
next depressing factor was the report OF four
million additional gold negotiated for export,
the fine weather in this country and general
desire to sell any and everything that will bring
money. The decrease of $4,000 in the WISH
bic supply is not large enough to sufficiently
reduce our stocks.
The market still looks as though there would
have to be large liquidation By the general
trade in July wheat before there can be great
inducements to investors. There was good
all.around demand for corn and oats, but che
speculative feeling was very bearish and the
large receipts were more than the market
could stand; but the exceedingly fine prospects
for corn may induce too much short selling in
the weak spots. Therefore. we would advise
caution about selling on breaks.
There was very little doing In speculative

William Stimits, one of our oldest SUBJ
scribers and one Of our oldest citizens,
having resided here since 1879, called one
day this week. Mr.. Stimits has passed
through his share of hardships in help
ing to improve western Kansas. Among
other drawbacks, he has had more or less
sickness in his family, and has been COM
PEELED to leave the county to seek work
elsewhere, but he has never lost faith IN
the country and stuck to it with that
faith and determination that is sure, ul-
timately, to win.
And he has won, too, in a measure, at
least. He has one Of the finest farms in
Trego county and it is we'll improved
Mr.. Stimits is very hopeful for the fu-
ture. He is one OF Trego county's best
citizens in every regard and it gives us
much pleasure to note his success as one
of the pioneer farmers of Trego county.

buffalo. Bt1l's Great Feat.

The following, taken from Sheridan's
memoirs, We publish as partly descrip-
tive OF life in western Kansas at an early
day. It occurred in 1853 and there are
doubtless those now living in Ellis coun-
ty who will remember the famous scout,
William F. Cody, generally known az
Buffalo Bill"
William F. Cody was first brought to
my notice by distinguishing himself in
bringing me an important dispatch from
Fort Lsrnsd to Fort Hays, distance Of
sixty-ive miles, through section infest-
ed with Indians. The dispatch informed
me that the Indians near Larnsd were
preparing to decamp, and this intelh
genoe required that certain orders should
be carried to Fort Dodge, ninety-fye
miles south OF Fort Hays. This, too, be-
ing particularly dangerous route,
several couriers having been killed upon
tit was impossible to get one of the
various 'Petes.' Jacks or Jims' hang.
ing around Hsys City to take my oom-
munication.
Cody, learning of the strait I was in.
manfully came to the rescue and propos-
ed to make the trip to Dodge, though he
had just finished his long and perilous
ride from Larned. I gratefully accepted
his offer, and after short rest he noun.
ted fresh horse and fastened on his
journey, hating but once to rest on the
way, and then only for an hour, the stop
being made at Coon creek, where he got
another mount from troop of cavalry.
At Dodge he took some sleep, and then
continued on to his own post-Larned-
with more dispatches. After resting st
Larned he was again in the saddle with
tidings for me at Fort Hays, General
Hazen sending him this time with word
that the villages had fed to the south Of
the Arkansas.
Thus in all, Cody rode about $50 miles
in less than sixty hours. and such an ex-
hibition of endurance and courage, at
that time OF the year and in such wealth.
or, was more than enough to convince me-
that his services would be extremely val
liable in the campaign, so retained him
at Fort Hays till the battalion of the
9Th cavalry arrived and made him chief
OF scouts"

Coroner Kohl was called on last Sun.
day to hold an inquest on the body Of
Warren Williams, found dead in cabin
near the depot at Ellis. Poor ''Old Uncle
George" we'll known in the little railroad
town, was found lying in horrible con-
dition. Alone in his little home, the old
colored man, whose head was touched
with the SHOWS of SO winters, died, and
when discovered, the rats had eaten away
his throat, part Of bis face, one eye, and
stripped the flesh from fingers and feet.
Verdict of the jury, after careful eyami-
nation was, that Williams came to his
death by 'fnfrmity, old age" No suspi-
cion of foul play is entertained.-Rays

Our farmers don't seem to take
much interest in having our county rep
resented at the Worlds fair. Our COM
missioners offered liberal premiums for
best samples of grain delivered at the
county clerks Office on or before Feb. LIST.
Our reporter ascertsined last Monday
that there had been but one response and
that was by E. W. Gilbert who brought
in half q bushel of white corn. Our
farmers have good samples and we
would think that they were interested
enough to bring them in, not entirely for
the premiums offered but to complete the
exhibit.
