KANSAS A SAFE STATE.

Governor Morrill, says that Nan
sas has passed through The univer'
sal panic and depression in IA great
deal better shape than many other
states, and men who make Il bust
ness of loaning money have had
less trouble with their Kansas Sc
curiiies than with many others
I Those who suffered from invest
mrnts here were, for the greater
part. men who iudiScriminately
loaned money in almost any stun
10 almost anybody during The boom
days.
During the past three years, the
Governor said in Il recent interview
"kansas has paid of tremendous
amount of debt. One bank ut Hia'
watha has paid of more than $40
0OO in mortgage Indebtedness to
Eastern pnr,ies within the past two
years. and probably an equal sum
in the form Of implement and other
personal property debts. And the
greater part OF this was for Brown
county farmers alone. The almost
unparalleled hard times and short
crops in our safe during the past
two wears has witnessed more debt
paying ihan any period of prosper
ity we ever had. When Kansas
commenced To pay her debts her
credit in the East commenced to
rise, and today our state is looked
upon as one of the choice fields for
investment of capital.
"But il should he the daily prayer
of Kansas people that no more
'booms,' such as those of the SOS,
come this way. The kind of inves :
ments we want from the East are
from well-to.do farmers who will
come along with their money and
become citizens. To this class kar-
sas offers royal inducements. An
almost iniinitesimal portion oi our
state is under cultivation, even in
the eastern part, where the settle.
mems are the thicaest. There :
hardly u county in the state but
which offers fine raw lands for sale
at prices that are ridiculously small
compared to the prices which OBJ
tain in the thickly-scttlcd East.
at is the farmer with money that
| would advertise for-wiih money
in the sense that he can buy Il farm
without going head over heels in
debt for il. The day of the poor
hoincsteader, who Topped down on
Il piece of raw Kansas prairie with
out the whercwithal to buy Il meal
victuals, has passed for Kansas.
Those brave fellows havciilled their
mission and had their day. We now
offer homes to the people who are
able TO pay for them at prices which
are reasonable and within the reach
of the moderately well off easterner
who is forced to seek new fields by
the proscriptivc values in his own
state"

The engineer of Il flour mill in south.

CINE. when he looked up and saw an
unusually large lynx staring him in
the face. The least was gaunt with
hunger, and its condition had made ii
brave. The engineer would have re-
treated, but the oalv door was back of
the lynx. and he had no missile. except
an iron nut that lay on tine floor. This
he threw ut the lynx, hitting II be-
tween the eyes. The blow dazed il for

proved fortunate, rs the water poured
over the animal and seemed to exert n
very depressing effect. It crouched
down In fear, and the engineer took
ont his jaclk-knife and. in his turn,
sprang at the lynx. 1t was bold
move. but the blow was accurately
placed. and the lynx keeled over be-
fore II had time to scratch. II was a
fine specimen. and. had it not been re-
duccd in strength by hunger, the tale
might have had u different ending. =

ANOTHER DEATH BY FAITH.

On Tuesday morning of this week
while the editor of the NEWS was al
kcelVilc he learned of another
death 10y faith.
y young man by the name of Lee
Harmed. of Missouri. came To near
keclville about six weeks ago 10
visit Il brother and while there he
became sick and should have had a
physician; but the faith cure AN
atics gathered around. as they usu-
ally do in that ncighborhood. and
talked the Harmed folks out of the
idea OF having doctor. And right
here we will say they had very
easy time of il. However, no doc
tor was secured and Harmed died
Tuesday morning rs abCvt stated.
The remains were inferred in the
Baxter cemetery on Wednesday Of
this week.
Once upon time the NEWS sug-
gested that the keepers of the state
line dives he hanged by the neck
for an hour and it would drive them
out of business. Do the faith cure
fanatics the same way.

The Opium Pony.

The true opium poppy can be easily
and successfully grown in that coun-
try, where, in favorable seasons. the
plant will flower in about fifteen weeks
from the time of planting. As soon ms
the flower falls the capsule Is slightly
cut across one side in the afternoon to
let out the milky juice. About four
wounds are male. The next morning
the milky juice will have hardened
into thin gum. which is scraped off
with n blunt knife and transferred
from the knife into clean tin vessel
The unwoundcd side of the capsule is
operated on the following afternoon.
The collected gum or opium is made
into thin cakes and carefully dried in
the shade. The work of opium collec-
ton Is one which can he done by care
full women and children. When moth
ing but the seeds or heads are required
the poppy is planted broadcast and
hoed out or thinncd to distance of
nine inches apart. About forty thou
sand heads can lie gathered to the
acre. and when dried they are worth
about five dollars thousand. The
seed is rich in oil, very nutritious, with
an almond flavor, and is gool food for
consumptives. 1t brings twenty-five

EDITORS BAXTER SPRINGS NEWS:
Will you kindly give space (which
To say few words by way of cor
rcction and explanation about the
W. CT. L. resolution, taken from a
Weir City paper and published in
they NEWS Sept. Z? Such a resolu-
ton was offered but not adopted as
read. but in an abridged and
amended form, which we believe
Mrs. Devereaux was not aware OF.
We do not remember the exact
wording OF the resolution, but will
say this: The old vets have per-
feet right to hold as many reunions
as they wish, and furthermore many
of the wives and daughters OF SOL
diers who are members of the W.
CT. u ha, e attended the reunions
from time to time and realize some
thing of what the happiness must
be to comrades who meet after
many years of separation. We do
not expect to debar ourselves of the
privilege of seeing the soldiers en-
ioy themselves, but IL we see any
thing stalking into camp which hs 9
a tendency to demoraIize the youth
we as members of the band of "or-
qanized motherhood expect TO
maintain the right to resolve
a rainst what is evil or pernicious.
If people only knew the amount of
literature and other comforts fur;
nished by ". c. 7. U. superintend-
ents for reading rooms in military
prisons, garrisons, etc, they, the
people, would conclude that the W.
c. T. u. was friend of soldiers In
the truest sense of the word.

A Vulgar Idiot.

a son of John Wanamaker. the
millionaire merchant of Philadel-
phia. made "a vulgar display of his
riches few weeks ago in Paris by
giving a dinner 70 dozen cronies
at a cost of $4,000. That is, includ-
ing souvenirs and favors of every
kind, the cost of the meal for each
guest was something over $1,000,
which is about twice the amount
that the average workingma earns
in year.
Young Mr.. Wanamaker had per-
feet right to make such display of
vulgarity because it is stated that
his father cleared Si,OO0.OOO from his
business last year and is making
money now at the rate of $6OO0O00a
year. But II would have looked
better If he had made an ass of
himself in quieter way. That is,
he might have spent $4,000 provid-
ing dinner for his friends without
publishing the fact to the world.
But the parvenue is bound 10 dis
close himself and he might as well
do il in one way as another. Young
Wanamaker might possibly have
found some other means just rs ef-
fective of displaying the colossal
proportions of idiocy, but Il IL
doubtful and would have entailed
a good deal of thinking, which IL
probably not much in his line.
Anyway It is comforting 70 feel
confident that he is the only idiot
in America capable of such an ex-
Inhibition of assininity.
