TOBACCO PRODUCTION.
Annual Output of the States Without
Regard to Merit,

Whatever the cigarmakers or the ci-
gar seller might have thought of Wey-
ler's prohibition, one class of Ameri-
can citizens viewed it with undisguised
delight. At first they could not be-
lieve it true; then when they saw it
was really a fact their joy broke out
unrestrained. In many parts of the
country mass-meetings were held and
universal rejoicing proclaimed.
The people who have so benefited by.
the edict We're the farmers. For years
these honest men have been raising
tobacco and Offering it in the tobacco
markets. Their quality was superior.
their curing perfect, their leaves uni
form in size, and their leaf without
blemish. But they could get little.
The magic word Havana" forbade the
native industry from being appreci-
ated as it should have been. Tobacco
manufacturers themselves knew the
superiority Of the native tobacco, but
thQy could not convince the man who
smokes. And so the farmer, after

his toll and care had to take medium
prices
But all this is changed now. Weyler
allows the made-up cigar TO come into
this country, but there is slight mis-
understanding about the tobacco leaf,
and this is the farmers rejoicing.
The annual production of tobacco in
the United States has been growing
greater and greater for several years
past. 1t has never been known as a
tobaccogrowing country, because 1t
has not produced all the leaf it wanted.
But all who know our agricultural pos
sibilties say there Is no reason why
leaf of the imported tobacco should
ever be asked for here again.

New Kind of Potato Bug.

A new kind of potato bug has been
discovered in several counties of Penn
sylvania, which Is said to be a great
deal more troublesome than the old
pest. 1t Is an insect about three times
as large as the ordinary fly and of full
black color. 1t eats the vegetables
from the top clean to the ground. Paris
green and other poisons have been
tried upon them without effect. The
farmers are much concerned and ex-
perts are puzzled.

any costume. One can buy plain rub
Der caps for 20 cents. Oiled silk ones
are marked 50 cents. But the best
caps are the tight-fltting rubber ones
that cover the hair completely from
the edge of the forehead TO the nape
of the neck. One can put the head
under water with one of these on with
out wetting the hair particle Some
suits are made with shoes and stock
ings attached, but in general it is
found better to have them detach-
able because the stockings usually
wear out before the rest of the suit
and one often likes to dispense with
shoes, and they interfere with good
swimming stroke. Bathing shoes with
straps that cross several times around
the ankle are considered very artistic.

BY an official order filed by County
Attorney S. z. Fink with the county
clerk and submitted TO the board OF
county commissioners. Sheriff J. w
Skinner OF Cowley county is charged
with receiving money from the county
through Misrepresentation. and by the
presentation of a fee bill, regularly
sworn to. which Is alleged to be fraud
ulent and untrue.
The charge made is that through mis-
representations Sheriff Skinner secured
requisition for two prisoners who esca D
ed from the Cowley county jail, and
were said by Skinner to be located in
Petuis county, Missouri. by The sheriff
OF that county.
In reply to questions asked County
Attorney Fink made a statement as fol-
lows:
IN March 1895. two prisoners, Lee
and Mitchell, then confined in the coua-
" jail made their escape. In the fol-
lowing September Sheriff Skinner came
10 me on the street with what purpor.ed
10 be a letter from the sheriff OF Pattfs

After receiving the necessary papers,
Mr.. Skinner remained in and about Win
field several days. This, coupled with
the further fact that the letter present.
ed to me by Skinner did not have the
appearance Of emanating from a county
officer in a county of as great import
ance as Pettis county. Sedalia being
the county seat, suspicioned that there
was something wrong.
I'm about two weeks, however. I met
Mr.. Skinner and said: How about
Lee and Mitchell His reply was that
they had gotten into some kind OF a
scrape over there and left"
At the October term OF the board OF
county commissioners Sheriff Skinner
presented bills against the county for
over $500 for going 10 Missouri after
Lee and Mitchell, whom he did not get.
AS the sheriff carried both acquisitions
in the same pocket, the board cut his
bill to s101.60. This was not satisfac-
tory 10 him and he threatened 10 bring
suit TO recover the other 500 claimed to
be due In order 10 be prepared for an
emergency OF that kind. Colonel Fink
entered into correspondence with the
sheriff Of Pettis county, Missouri. con-
corning Lee and Mitchell. and whether
the letter presented TO him by Sheriff
Skinner was genuine or a forgery.
1t now turns out that the letter pre-
sented by Skinner purporting TO be from
the Sheriff of of Pettis county, Missouri,
was a forgery and the county attorney
of Cowley county has commenced an &C
ton to recover from Skinner the money
paid 10 him by the county. The sheriff
Of Pettis county writes that when Sher-
if Skinner arrived there he never asked
him any thing about Lee and Mitchell.

Wichita has many things to be proud
of, but none Of them more tnan Lin
wood park
It is pity that a great many more
people do not visit Il. There has been
work done there which ought TO be ap-
preciated. OF course the complaint
is that there is no means Of getting
there in the line of public conveyances.
That is very true and is great draw
back TO the popularity OF Linwood. II
there was a line OF street railway run
ming there the people could much bet
ter appreciate what has been provided
for their health, comfort and enjoyment
by the city.
Captain Harris, the park commission
CT. has done good work for the park. He
Is a gentleman of taste in landscape
work and ne is very much devoted TO
making Liuwood the pride of his life.
He has made the avenues and drives
perfect and many take advantage Of
them, especially bicycle riders. A
great many patrons of the wheel go
down there at night. The spin, when
the sun is how. is a fine one. as the
roads south OF Kellogg are fine. I'm
provements are now being made be-
tween Douglass and Kellogg on Ida
by the city and when they are compiet-
ed there viii be no finer short bicycle
run in America than from the corner
OF Main and Douglas TO the park,
about two miles.
The shade in the park is beautiful.
Some grand massive trees are on the
east side of the little creek that runs
through the entire length OF the park
from North to south. Under these beau
tiful spreading trees one could lie down
in a hammock and read the hours away
or If one has a taste for fishing he
could indulge in that pastime The
shade is perfect. There are trees on
both sides of the creek and no matter
whether the sun is in the west or east
the banks are always cool and shady.
The park is now covered with fine
thick grass, green and veivety In
this respect Captain Harris has been
very successful. Grass is now esta,b-
iished there to stay and all that will be
required in the future is to keep up
the bridges. walks. flowers and shrub
berry. AT the Intersections of all the
avenues there is beautiful flower bed
and Mr.. Harris has a great deal to do
in keeping them up and keeping the
public from taking them away. The
shrubbery rs in abundance and artistic
ally kept. Captain Harris is at them
continually with his sprinkiing pot and
shears and not a ragged branch can be
found anywhere.
The bridges are nicely painted and as
there are many OF them they look very
nice.
1t is to be hoped now the streets have
been much improved in that section of
the city that great many more people
will visit Linwood and see the good
work that has been done there.
