Engle has been enjoying a mOnstrous

busy waiting on the trade. Mr..
Engle began this sale during what is
perhaps the dullest season of the year,
yet he has enjoyed from the very be-
ginning heavy trade. THIS demon
states what advertising can do. Mr.

After Forty.Seyen Years.

Henry Harp OF this city, was over
Joyed yesterday morning to meet his
brother, Abraham Harp, whom he
had not seen for fOrty.seven years.
The two brothers had been living
within six miles Of one another for
the past two years without either of
them knowing OF the others where
a6outs. The meeting was by the
merest accident, and was brought
about by.Ab Frantz, who knew Of the
lorg separation Of the two brothers
and accidentally discovered the iden-
tity Of Abraham Harp a few days
ago.
FraDtz was moving a farm house
near Cicero about week ago and
Abraham Harp, who lives near by,
came to where they were. Mr.. Frantz
called the attention OF Harp TO his
resemblance to Henry Harp of this
city. He did not then know who
Abraham Harp was. Mr.. Frantz
asked him his name, and upon being
told, remarked that he was without
doubt Henry Harp'S Gong lost
brother. Mr.. Frantz informed Henry
Harp Of the circumstance, who ad-
blessed a letter last Monday to Abra-
ham Harp at Cicero, giving the time
and place of his birth in Tennessee
elghty-one years ago. 1t was clearly
evident to Abraham Harp that the
writer was his brother, and yesterday
came to this city to meet him. The
two we're introduced on the street
and after comparing notes awhile,
established their relationship. The
brothers separated in Lincoln county
KY, in May, 1850. Abraham went tC
Indiana and Henry went to Illinois
They soon lost track Of one another
and neither ever received any intima
tiOn OF the others whereabouts unit
a few days ago. Mr.. Harp has an
other brother whose whereabouts are
unknown, aud whom he has not seen
for fOrty-twO years.

The Helm-VOiIs Case Reversed.

Saturday the supreme court handed
down decision reversing the case of
NJ. Lou Helm VS.. W. H. Voils. an
error from this county.
This suit involves the residence
property on South Washington ave.
nue. now occupied by Harry Vols.
Mrs. Helm bought the property
years ago from Hannibal Smith.
Smiths title to the property Vas not
clear There was an attachment
against it, but Mrs. Helm was advised
by her attorney, W. A. Mcdonald,
that the attachment would not hold.
After she bought the property it was
taken away from her on the attach.
ment. She brought suit in district
court to recover the property. w. "A.
Mcdonald died and Mrs. Helm. en-
plOyed Elliott & Woods to look after
her interests. w. W. Scwhinn repre-
Sented Vols.
When the suit in district court for
recovery came up, the plaintiffs were
not ready for trial. Elliott & Woods
had written to Mrs. Helm, who then
resided at Manhattan, notifying her
of the time the case was to be heard
in court. She was the principal
witness on the plaintiffs side. The
letter failed to reach her aud the
morning of the trial her attorneys
received a telegram from her asking
about the suit. They learned that
she had failed to receive the letter
and they went before ]. A. Ray, who
was then judge, and asked time Ia
make affidavit for continuance. Ray
refused to grant the request and after
a rather bitter dispute between Mrs.
Helms lawyers and the Judge, the
case was decided in Voils' favor BY
default.
Elliott & Woods asked for a rein.

B. L. keenan,, editor of the Wich-
ita Mirror, Travelled from Wichita to
Milan on Saturday, the Sd inst, and
writes to his paper concerning the
trip as follows:
ITO describe trip from Wichita
to Milan, Sumner county, on the Sd

interest, would be more than ought
to be expected. OF course one always
boards a train and Skins over the
prairies either through immense
wheat fields or a great expanse of
waving corn From Wichita to We'll
lington the prOpOrtionate acreage of
wheat is greater than from We'll
lingtOn to Milan. The wheat and
oats crops were immense, particu-
larly in the west part Of Sumner
county. Much of the wheat was in
stack, acres of it in shock and proba-
bly, one-fOurth not yet cut. The pro-
ductiyeneSS Of the soil of this part of
Kansas cannot be questioned. When
the climatic conditions are favorable,
the earth in this part of the state

be all the farmers would like, but
there is no end Of things to live on.

little bumps over the fields like
stumps in New England clearing.
Wheat everywhere, and of first rate
