ResOurCeful William.

Ex-Marshal Johnson has had some
queer experiences in his eventful
career, but it is doubtful if anything
compares with the occurrences incident
TO the filing of his cigar sign contract.
In the early EOS he secured a con-
tract to manufacture carload of Indian
cigar signs, but on starting the work,
found he had taken the job at figure
that would lose him several hundred
dollars. In casting around for way
out of the difficulty, he Lit upon plan
whereby he could not only turn his
losing contract into a snap, but at the
same time prove himself a benefactOr
to the public in general. In the neigh
borhood was camped a large body Of
Pawnees, and, after preparing a couple
.hOgshead of corn meal and plaster of
paris, mixed half and half, he invited a
couple dozen braves to the feast. They
came, saw and devOuTed the saVOry
mess, and then, as is customary with
Poor LO, drifted heedIessly on into the
land of Nod. By little arranging
prior to the setting in of the rigOr
mortis, caused by the hardening of the
plaster, the willy William converted the
entire party into the most natural alb
original tobacco statuary ever put
upon the market.
J The contract was filled at a profit,
and nothing but a scarcity OF. the
noble red men kept the resOurceful
William from amassing millions.

The Cycle Theory FayorE a Returning Stretch
Of Big Crop Years.
The Omoial Records Of the State AgFleul-
turaI Department Proves the Ex-
istence Of ths Seventeen Cycle
In Crop History.

Although the acreage is small com
pared with the last four years, Kansas
expects large wheat crop next spring,
says the Topeka Capital. There is rea-
son to hope for some thirty-fVe or forty
million bushels, if all goes we'll, on the
two and two-third million acres already
seeded and reported in fine condition.
This acreage is 10 per cent less than
last year, So per cent smaller than 1884,
60 per cent smaller than 1893 and IS
per cent smaller than 1892. Up to 1880
there had been bat three years in the
states history when the area in wheat
equaled two million acres, and since
1890 there has been but one year, 1891,
when it full short Of four million acres.
We got our seventy -four million bushel
crop, the champion crop ever raised by
any state Of the Union, in 1892, and as
a natural result the area was largely
increased in 1893, for the first and last
time exceeding five million acres. But
the crop was only twenty-five million
bushels, the smallest per acre in the
history Of Kansas, amounting to less
than five bushels per acre. The total
yield Of wheat last spring was the
smallest, with two exceptions, since
1877.
The existence of a seven year cycle
of rainfall and crops has been dem
Onstrated by the official records OF
Michigan, Kansas and other states, the
records Of Prof. Snow being now COM
plete for five such cycles, from 1860 to
1896. Mr.. H. R. Hilton believes he has
proven also co-existent ten year cycle
and his records undoubtedly show at
least that every year ending with a
cipher for thirty years has been a poor
crop year. The drouthy end of the cycle
may strike crop season at the begin
ming and make a total failure, or it
may strike it toward the close and the
next crop at the beginning, causing &
partial failure of two successive crops.
Mr.. Hilton believes, and his opinion
is shared by other observers, that we
are now in for three or four good crop
seasons and that 1900 is liable to be a
particularly bad year, by reason Of the
coincidence of the drOuthy ends of
both the seven year and the ten year
cycles,
These are speculatiOns worth watch
ing. The close study of records by
public spirited observers is gradually
reducing the problem Of preparing for
the future to a science and in another
quarter century it is not improbable
that the general meteorological con-
ditions will be anticipated a year in
advance and the scientific farmer will
lay out his work accordingly.

Bad Accident.
Machinist F. N. Delano, employed at
the Rock Island shops, met with an &C
cident Monday forenoon that may re-
suit in the loss of both eyes.
AS he was pouring some molten
metal in a "boxing mould" a portion Of
it blew out, filling his eyes and burn
ing his face severely.
Medical assistance was called in and
his burns dressed, after which he was
taken to Denver on No. 9 Monday
where better nursing san be had.
It is thought that the sight of one
eye is already ruined, and that the
other can be saved only by the best Of
attention, although the Denver oculist
holds out hope that both may be saved.

REsT CONDITION IN YEARS.
The Snow of This Week Will Augment
Wheat Acreage.

The Snow of This Week VIII Augment
Wheat Acreage.
The farmers of Sherman county are
busily putting in winter wheat, the
acreage of which will be larger than
usual, owing to the condition of the
soil, which, it is claimed, is the best
in years.
The recent heavy fall Of snow will
probably augment the acreage cOnsid-
cradle, and give that already put in an
opportunity to make the most Of the
almost certain spring moisture.
The snow melting and going into the
soil viii cause the ground to freeze,
thereby fertilizing and increasing its
productive qualities. A condition that
has not existed for several years, and
to the lack of which the failures of
1884 we're mainly attributable.
With the soil we'll frozen and wet
down in winter time, enough moisture
has invariably fallen during the spring
months to mature every crop Of grain
ever put out in Sherman county, and
from this standpoint, next years crop
prospect should be ranked gilt-edged.
