Topeka Capital: W. Fl. Mcmillan, of
Wakarusa, drove 22O head of cattle to
Anderson county to winter.
Edna Independent. Mr.. Dawson
shipped four carloads of horses from his
horse ranch in Montana to his ranch
south of town.
Preston Plain Dealer: Will Rowel1
says he got IS acres seeded before the
recent rain and has ground ready for
100 acres more.
A Lawrence hound won the Columbus
cup and $1,000 at the international
coursing meet at Huron, S. d. The dog
belongs to Fl. G. Lowe.
Neosho Falls Post: It don't take
many hogs to come to nice little sum
of money. A farmer up north of town
hauled in six and went home with $1O1.
n. E. Mcpherson, of Rossville, has 80
head of cattle on full feed at the Null
vane ranch near st. Marys. His herd
of hogs is made up of about 600
members.
Topeka Capital: Two hundred head
of steers from Arizona that were I'M
loaded at Kingville stampeded and it
took three days to get them all out OF
the cornfelds.
From Paola: Fine rains have en-
abled the farmers to SOW great deal OF
wheat, much of which is up nicely, while
much more will yet be sown. Fall pas
ture was never better.
Kincaid Dispatch: Hull Laughlin has
sixty-six head of the finest and fattest
beef cattle in this part of the county,
which he is crowding on shelled corn for
the market. At cents this bunch will
bring him in the neighborhood OF
$4,000.
From Speareville: The past week
brought this section fine rain, putting
the ground in good condition for fall
seeding. Wheat was failure this year
on account of dry weather-not over
one-tifth of crop. But there are thous-
ands of bushels of last years crop in the
hands of the producers yet, that is be-
ing held for higher prices. There is
enough of this being held to seed all the
broken land and feed the county for q
year. There has been good supply OF
prairie hay made, and farmers are reas-
onably well prepared for winter.
From Emporia: Dispositions are be-
ing taken in this and neighboring coun-
ties in the celebrated Spanish fever"
cattle cases, in which farmers and 9th
ers have already been awarded nearly
$4,000 damages. No settlement hav-
ing as yet been made amended petitions
have been fled, in which the Missouri,
Kansas, and Texas railway, and about
160 others, are defendants. The entire
matter has resulted in suits and counter
suits 80 innumerable that it now looks
as if what money may be in the hands
of the receiver will be swallowed up in
litigation, and the people in this vicinity
never be reimbursed for their losses.
Emporia Republican,: "Robertha,"
the celebrated Hereford calf owned by
@. s. Cross, president of the First Ma
tional bank of this city, was brought
here from Topeka, in charge Of 81. l..
Leibfried. This calf was purchased by
Mr.. Cross of the Maxim Brothers of
Florence, Kansas, and is eleven months
old and weighs nine hundred pounds. 1t
took the second premium at the worlds
fair, and many good judges thought it
entitled to the first. It took the first
premium at the interstate fair at Kan
sas City, Missouri, and the first premium
at the Kansas State fair at Topeka. It
is perfect beauty and is undoubtedly
one Of the most valuable heifers in the
United States. 1t had quarters at the
stables Of Worster l. White, where it
attracted many visitors. Mr.. Cross sent
It to his jsSunny Slope" farm.
