Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1896-01-25

A Lewistown man who was in Cuba
during former revolution says that
only a person acquainted with the
country can understand why the Gu
bans have such great advantage over
the Spanish. He once witnessed an
attack by the rebels on a Spanish camp
at an old sugar cane plantation. Be-
fore the attack was made, the captain
Of the rebels walked up into a cane
field 300 yards from the camp and
looked it over. A bloodhound used by
the Spanish shifted his presence and
ran out into the field. Seeing the man
standing there he went up to him. 1t
proved to be an old friend who had
often fed him before the revolution.
The man loved the dog, but he loved
the cause more, and taking out his
meat cleaver," as the Americans called
the peculiar knife axe the rebels car
ried to cut wood, fight and make their
way through canefields with, he pre-
tended to pat him on the head, and
with one blow quietly dispatched the
creature, which might otherwise have
given the alarm to the camp.-Lewis-
burg Me Journal.

HURRAH FOR PENNSYLVANIA.

The farmers of Pennsylvania are to
be congratulated. M. M. Luther, East
Troy, Pa, grew over 900 bushels Sal
zer's Silver Mine Oats On one measured
acre. Think of it! Now there are
thirty thousand farmers going to try
and beat Mr.. Luther and win 5000 in
gold and they'll doit. Will you?
Then there is Silver King Barley,
cropped on poor soil 116 bus. per acre
in 1895. Isn't that wonderful-an
corn $50 bus. and potatoes and grasses
and clovers, fodder plants, etc., etc.
Freight is cheap to all points.
IF YOU WILL CUT THIS OUT AND SEND
it with Zoe postage to the John A. Sal

receive their mammoth catalogue and
ten packages grains and grasses, in
Guiding above oats, free. (K.)
