THE SEED WHEAT QUESTION.
A Letter to Secretary French Which B1-
plains Itself.


To Mr. French:
DEAR SIR:-I came to this part Of the
state in the spring Of '96. At that date
the country west Uf Great Bend was
principally settled with rush. / am q
farmer and am somewhat familiar with
the people, climate and soil. We have q
good climate and soil and with few OK.
Ceptions an honest, industrious, Chris
tian people. A few days since saw an
article in the Kansas City Star, so full
Of falsehoods and so misleading about
this part Of the state that / feel it my
duty to write you and make at least 9
partial statement Of the facts pertain.
ing to the things which the Star mis-
represents.
The first item set forth is that an.
other man has come out of the tall corr
and reports that his part Of the country
Is all right, inferring that the one max
ing the report made it from the tall
corn in western Kansas. The truth il
we hsVe no corn in this or adjoining
counties, so it is false entirely. Again
he says that the twenty counties of the
twenty four which asked aid, have been
heard from, and that they are in as good
condition as they ever were. This is a
falsehood Of the deepest dye, the Star OF
any man to the contrary notwith-
standing. He next turns his attention tO
the railroad commissioners who were Rp-
pointed by the governor at the request
of our committeeman. Said committee
men OF the several counties were elected
by the people in conventions assembled
and sent east with instructions to first
lay our condition before the different
railroad officials and to solicit aid Of
them in the way Of loan of seed wheat
for the destitute. They were further in
struoted If they failed there to apply to
the boards Of trade, or any other source,
and il all failed to go and lay the matter
before the governor, which they did,
having made q failure so far. They and
the governor counseled together, and
agreed among themselves that the proper
thing to do was for the governor to sp-
point said commissioners to go forth
among the people to solicit wheat for
the people Of western Kansas. The Star
seems to wish to belittle the commits
sionerg, and to mlslesd and deceive the
people, and wonders If it is possible that
the commissioners were willing to do
stroy the good name Of half the state Of
Kansas to obtain little cheap political
buncombe for themselves. This sounds
like thief crying "thief." Little the
Star cares for the good name Of Kansas,
or it's common people. No one here
thought Of politics at the time, only of
wheat. II q republican, or q prohibi-
bitionist, or even Grover Cleveland had
been governor Of this state, the program
on our part would have been just the
same.
It is now very generally understood
by the masses Of the people that the
leading press Of this country is
owned and controlled in the interests Of
the gold-bugs OF Europe, and their
agents in this country. Their object is
to deceive and keep the people in ignor-
ance, and to do 30 they must lie and
misrepresent the facts. They seem to

Preventing Future Misery.

II there is, in this vale of tears, a more
prolific source of misery than the rheumatic
twinge, we have yet to hear of it. People
are born with a tendency to rheumatism
just as they are with one to consumption,
or to scrofula. Slight causes may develop,
this. AS soon as the agonizing complaint
manifests itself, resource should be had to,
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, which checks.
its further inroads and banishes the rheu7
matte poison from the system, This state
ment tallies exactly with thetestimony of
physicians who have employed this fine
blood depurent in their private practice
There is also the amplest professional and
general testimony as to the efficacy of the
Bitters for malaria, liver complaint, con-
stipation, indigestion, kidney trouble
After a wetting whether followed by a
cold or not, the Bitters is useful as pre-
ventive of the initial attack of:rheumatism.

The Indian Reservations.

The following is from the annual
report of the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs for 1892:
" An agreement was negotiated
with the Pah-Ute Indians, residing
on the Pyramid Lake Reservation in
Ne vada, on October II, 1892, for the
surrender of the southern portion
thereof embracing the town of Wads-
worth. 1t was transmitted to this
office October 30, 1891, and reported
to the Department December 5, 1891,
with full explanation as to it's pro-
visions. The President transmitted
it to Congress on January II, 1892.
!" 1t appears that this agreement
was not satisfactory to the Senate,
and as the people of Nevada desire
further reduction of the Pyramid
Lake Reservation and the restoration
to the public domain of the entire
Walker River Reservation in the
State, this Office on July 9th last
prepared and submitted to the De-
partment a draft of a bill in lieu of
the bill to ratify said agreement,
which draft was forwarded to Con-
gress and introduced in the Senate,
where it is pending. This draft of a
bill provided for vacating and re-
storing to the public domain the
entire Walker River Reservation
and a greater portion of the Pyramid
Lake Reservation than that ceded in
the agreement. Should this bill
become law it will be submitted to
the Indians of those reservations for
acceptance.

Benefits of a Good Walk.

\ good walk does what so many
patent medicines profess, but usually
fail TODD; it helps to prevent almost
any ailmeut under the sun; and it
does it by keeping the system in
good condition. During the time
they were living in London, Dean
Swift and Matthew Prior used to
take long walks together daily, for
their health, explaining to their
friends that Swift was walking to
reduce his flesh, and Prior, who was
VIGOROUSLY thin, to add to his. The
two objects are not Inconsistent; for
extreme leanness, as well as extreme
freshness, is due to imperfect assim-
ilation of food, and the walk, by
improving digestion, will serve to
modify each complaint. There is
nothing which will so surely render
useless all tones, anti-fat remedies,
liver pills, and cosmetics of every
description, as a fine, brisk, cheerful,
daily walk From Walking for
Health in Demorest's Family Mag

evening. At the last moment, how
ever, their plans were frustrated by
am unexpected accident. 1t had
been arranged that John W. Jr.,
should remain in the city during his
fathers absence, and look after the
latters business interests.
Whether from a sense of this re-
sponsibility, or from candy or cold,
the young man became afflicted with
jumping tooth. The ordinary
remedies were applied without giving
him relief, and then some cocaine
was rubbed on the tooth. In his
efforts to quiet the aching nerve Mr..
Mackay was rather too generous
with the cocaine. He got a good
sized mouthful of the poisonous drug
and accidentally swallowed some
just how much nobody knew. In
stantly there was confusion and
excitement in the Mackay family,
and Mr. Mackay Jr was doubled up
with pain. DR.. James w. Keeney.
the family physician, was telephoned
for, but before he arrived another
doctor came to the Palace Hotel and
an emetic was at once administered.
Young Mr., Mackay was soon pro-
nounced out of danger, although his
internal condition was far from
pleasant. The other members of the
family postponed their trip and re
manned at the bedside of the patient.
He did not come down stairs the
next morning, but was reported as
almost entirely recovered.
AS soon as he is quite well the SER
vices of dentist will be brought
into requisition for the removal of
the tooth which was indirectly the
cause of all the trouble. The bottle
of cocaine was thrown out of the
window and in the future the drug
will have no place in the family med
