Sheriff Dustin made q trip to the
Bird City nsighborhood Monday snd
reports that the dro1th and hot winds
have left the feW-remaining inhabit-
ants OF that vicinity no hope Of a crop.
With the exception Of one shower, no
rain has fallen since last April. How
ever, the grass Is very good and stock
is doing well. Here, In Sherman coun-
", the crop is spotted, some sections
having none, some a half crop. aud
some the hest ever raised. Grain crops
in western Kansas are an accident, and
the prospect for the future is no better
than the history Of the past few years.
There is but one thing to depend upon,
and that is the cattle industry. That
pays dividends in all kinds Of years.

The sad intelligence Of the death of
Mrs. Grace Weber on Tuesday plunged
the whole city in grief, the intenseness
Of which was augmented by the knOwl-
edge that the loving husband was at
that moment speeding homeward from
western business trip, happy in the
thought of the approaching reunion
with his bride Of less than a year, little
dreaming that sickness and death had
invaded his home and taken from him
that which he held most dear. "God
help poor Charley" went up from the
heart of every man, woman and child
in the city. Who can picture the agony
Of grief, the despair Of the bereayed
husband? Tears flowed in streams from
the eyes Of men who had not wept for
years.
Mrs. Weber, up to the very morning
Of the day of her death was in sppaT-
emily the best of health, and looking
iOyfully ahead to the time when she
would reach the acme Of WifshOod and
become a mother. The dark clouds
which dimmed the pathway of her life
a few hours ahead, we're invisible; her
thoughts dWelt with hope and bright
promise. At eight o'clock she was
seriously ill, at 1:45 her spirit had
winged its way out into that world
from which none return.
Mrs. Weber, formerly Miss Grace
Crick, was Of that sunny loving dispO.
sitiOn, that endeared her personality
to all who came in contact with it, and
the bright sunshine of her presencC
had often lightened up the pathway Of
others when all had appeared dark snd
gloomy. For several years she had
conducted the pOstOfice lobby and
thus became acquainted with nearly
everyone in the county. Everyoni
called her aGrsce," and it is doubtful
| if man woman or child in the county
| could be found IN whose memory il
not cherished a smile OF kind wore
from the little woman now locked il
the cold arms Of death. "Graee i
dead"

The late Commodore Vanderbilt was a

his money. The story is that complaint

president, and his reply was, 1.-The pub

he had seen many kinds of id fools, E"

Tested by the county commissioners for
public sentiment In the matter of the ex-

NJ lie LeOnteIlt VINO was recently ap-
pointed governor general of the equato-
rial province of Abyssinia by King Meme
INK, was the bearer Of the cars embas-
sizes to the black king last year. In 1895
Leontieff was made Russian envoy TO the
court of Negus, and in February of last
year he went upon a mission to the Abys-
sinian court. Although this last mission
was not an officia9 one, it is said that the
Russian government gave the diplomat the
most substantial support. Leontief bore
to the king and queen rich gifts from the
car. The car gave him a decoration,
which ennobfes him and his heirs, and in
addition the envoy was given a large
grant of money by the direct order of Rus
sia's emperor. Leontien has thus not only
won place and fortune by his services to
the car, but is now made the lucky vehi-
Gle whereby Menelik has taken occasion
to express his appreciation of the cars in
terest. The appointment is practically an
acceptance of Russian protection and so
long as the MuscOvite prince remains an
officer of the Abyssinian government King
Menelik need have small fear of invasion
from Europe.
