To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
GRAVES, Cloud County, Kansas, Oct.
10, lS94.-As you are probably aware
left the Athens on the 1st day of October
and after having stopped awhile in Pitts
burg and Ohio with my sons l arrived
here and found my daughter and family
well. This would be a splendid place for
farming if it were not for lack of rain and
hot winds that kill oats and wheat in
the spring and later blast the corn, The
land is rolling and somewhat bro
ken, but the soil is good The poorest
land | have seen thus far is in the state
of Indiana and the best in Missouri.
After crossing the Missouri river
there are three or four counties
where they raise from 100 to 1875 bushels
shelled corn to the acre and forty to fifty
bushels of wheat. They did it this
year.
want to tell your readers something
about the Union depot at st. Louis the
largest and grandest in the world. To
be appreciated it must be seen. 1t COW
ers IL acres of ground, cost Sc, 500, 900.
On the second floor in one end is a par
lor for ladies and the other for gentle
men. The space between is about COZ
100 feet and is a promenade. The arch
above this floor is the most magnificent
grand painting | ever looked upon. All

carved work of stem and flower, grand
in the extreme. The lunch room re-
quires the labor of 125 men and women
to run it. | got good lunch for 20 cts
There are thirty tracks and upwards Of
200 trains leave daily. Talk about hard
times. Thousands arrive and depart
daily from this depot to and from all
quarters of the compass. After staying

The Way They Do Business in India.

We have before us the catalogue
of an immense mercantile house Of
the city of Rangoon, India, in which
are nnmerated about all the articles
human being needs. Through the
kindness Of Miss Hattie Pride, we
have the book, it having been sent
her by Ii friend who is now in that
city. The book contains SO large
pages with prices in East India mon
ey appended. On the cover are del
icate samples of several kinds of dry
goods, prints, satteens, muslins, cam
brics, lawnettes and others, very
pretty and at prices that would as
tonish buyers in this country. The
work is acuriositr; it not only shows
the enterprise of business people in
what we term henighted India, but
it shows that nearly all the lnxuries
of life are not strangers there if one
has the wherewithal to buy them,

THE WAVE OF PROGRESS.
A Great Stock to be Seen at the New York
 Cheap Store, ses Main Street.

The New York Cheap Store, located at No. 223 on the north side of Main street, owned and presided over by B. NJ. Sarason, is the store that in fuses life into things around this city. There is no rust or eob-webs about the establishment-th the goods don't remain long enough on the shelves for a fly to light on them.
 They keep large stock of clothing, boots, shoes, hats, furnishing goods, notions, and millinery. Our swell citizens are pretty well acquainted with the fact that when they want to be fitted out in correct style the New York Cheap Store is the place. Their clothing is of the latest make, and it comes from jobbing houses of worldwide reputations. Their suits are splendidly made garments, and they hang with the genteel grace of custom made suits. They keep all grades of mems furnishings. If you have only little to invest that is a good place to invest it. You will be sure of getting an equivalent for every dollar you lay out. This store also keeps all styles of derby and soft hats at any price, and in fact any kind of q hat at any price. Here will same ordinary or grand. They ear " the largest and finest line of will low goods, carpets, rugs, drapery and window shades to be found in the city, and their prices cannot be duplicated here or elsewher Mir c. II. X ".

TALK FOR ARKANSAS.
A Real Estate Firm Set Forth the Possi sibiiities of Arkansas in Glow
 ing Terms.

As a fruit growing country Arkan- sas has no superior on the continent It is a great State scarcely started in the developments of its resources.
 It raises the finest cotton on the globe, fruit of every description is a certain crop every year. Its noun tains are full of lead, zine and coal; Iinexhaustable timber adds to it's wealth.
 It's climate is mild and salnbrious. Nature has endowed the State with most fiattering possibilities. It's people are hospitable and full of en- ergy, and the day is not far distant when the scales of prejudice will drop from the eyes of capital and Arkansas will take the place she prop erly deserves-one of the grandest, richest and most progressive states in the Union.
 A few days since clipping from the Omaha Bee that appeared in our paper, showed that the Secretary of the Neb Relief Commissioners had issued an appeal to the people of Omaha for aid for Nebraska drouth sufferers. The report declared that the great destitution throughout the entire northwest portion of the state and that in many instances starva- tion was avoided with difficulty Said gentleman who lives in Arkan- sas. after reading the report; Why don't those people come to Gods country, tmeaning Arkansas of course1, where they can raise some thing? raised this year 1900 heads of cabbage on half-acre of ground and they averaged four pounds to the head, and they are worth cents q pound, and would bring me $T4 70 How k that for a half acre? but l guess Fl send those Nebraska fellows some for we don't want them 10 starye if they did dis play poor jundgnent in going to Nebraska instead of coming to Ark ansas.
 What is true of the cabbage is also true with every species of vegetables. This species Of farming with the .ul- ture of apples, peaches and small fruits will make any industrious f;ir- mer in Arkansas Independent in a few years.

ANCIENT JEWISH LAWS
Unnecessary N hile K. F. Holmes Conducts the City Market at 1I9 West
 Second Avenue.

The wisdom of the early Jews in observing certain laws for the killing and dressing of cattle was, probably not questionable at the time those were given them. Such restrictions were undoubtedly necessary to the health of the people who were not
 protected by the close sanitary rcgu- lations of a later civilization. The killing and preparing of meat was properly regarded by them as the most important industry conducive to their well being. They thoroughly understood the necessity of having this work, in pre- erence to all others, done in u manner entirely consistent
 with the known laws upon which
 physical health depended. They were

The Business Of Honnet & Well Keeps
 Moving On.

A. s. Honnet and Charles Well form the firm of Honnet X Veil who are doing business at 110 West Bar raqne street.
 They are prominent among the merchants of the city, having been established in business here since 1869. 1t is quite evident that they are widely known throughout the country and enjoy the confidence of the thrifty planters and farmers who come to the Bluff to make their pur- chases. The constant growth of their trade shows how an industry can be developed when men of energy and business capacity and experience are behind it. Messrs. Honnet & Well are eyer found in line when a practical movement is originated to enhance the general welfare of the commonwealth. They do not be long to that class who say when something new is proposed: "How NA'NS'' NAHtctAy " Ill llitS DtiIclit IIlGt
 The question they consider is, is this likely to benefit the country in general? And being satisfied of that they are ready to put their shoul- ders to the wheel and rely on their ability to get their share of the gen eral wealth.
 They carry large and complete line of general merchandise including dry goods, clothing, flour, feed, gro ceries, harness, saddles, brides, and in fact, any ana everything needed on the plantation, the farm or in the household, all of which are offered to the trade at the lowest figure the market will allow. They are court eous and gentlemanly, and have made a reputation for integrity and honorable and fair dealing, and their trade is larger in consequence.

Read What We Have and What
 We Want,
And Then Come to Pine Bluff, the LiVeliest Town in
 the South.

Pine Bluff is the county seat of Jefferson county.
 Jefferson county is situated in the heart of the Cotton Belt district of the South. It produces more cotton than any other county in the South ern States, and at the Worlds Fair at Chicago in 1893, it took the pre- mium for both long and short staple cotton over all competitors. While cotton is the chief product, it's soil is especially adapted to the growth of corn, wheat, oats, rye, sorgum and peas, and all kinds of grass do well, especially, clover, timothy, orchard, red top and millet, affording ample and cheap opportunities for stock raising. As an instance of the fer tility and productivity of our soil, the following is an average yearly yield of the products mentioned:
