WHEAT AND CATTLE.
They Are Redeeming the Southwest
Kansas Counties. o.

State Secretary. II. Engle returned
this morning. from a three weeks trip
through the Seventh district. He
has been holding Sunday school con-
ventions, staying day or two in each
county, and has visited all the ex-
IRENE southwest counties of the state.
He says the influx Of cattle is some
thing enormous, while the wheat
yield is remarkable. The irrigated
orchards are producing splendid fruit
and the people who have remained in
those counties are getting wel-to-do.
He found an earnest Sunday school
spirit, and organized several counties
for active work.

HERE'S YOUR ELONDIKE
All the Luxulies Right at Home in
Dickinson.

There is no need DIGGING to Alaska.
Northwest Dickinson is nearer and
not 50 cold. The Manchester News
SAYS there is considerable excitement
there oyera tind on the farm of e, W
Wardrobe, 1t saws: "He thinks the
shining substance he has discovered
on his farm, six miles northeast Of
Manchester, is the genuine stuff.
While digging well good vein of
water was struck at a depth of 20
feet. Some of the water was drawn
and thrown on the ground and was
soon absorbed by the dry earth.
Later, Mr.. Wardrobe's attention was
attracted by a yellowish, glttering
substance on the ground. He col
lected small quantity of it and ex-
hibited it to his neighbors, who un-
hesitatingly pronounced it gold. A
sample was then taken to an Abilene
ieweler and he tolt the happy dis
coverer that it was gold and copper.
Whatever it is, Mr.. Wardrobe is not
taking any chance on his well being
stolen and is standing guard over it
with double-barreled shotgun"

FIESTA PREPARATIONS
THE EsCHEME OF STREET DECoRA-
TIoN TO BE FOLLOWED
Opening Ceremonies at the Ball-ln-
dian Dances at the Tr1bunes.
The Floral Battle

Already the advance guards or the
Fiesta are beginning to appear on the
street in the tri-color, which flames mere
and there-the tri-color which next week
will fairly illuminate the whole city
Superintendent Frank Virgins has in
his minds eye all the brilliant and ar
tistic effect of arch and banner ana
pennant and flag.
Upon Main street Mr.. Virgins will
have the tri-color in canopy effects
the three colors in bunting, the trolley
lines being used for the arches, which
heretofore it has been impossible to use
on this thoroughfare. Upon Spring
street Chinese flags of the tri-color in
sateen fringed with gold will be hung
across the roadway in arches. These
flags will be of fast colors and will keep
their body should slight rain come
up. Upon Broadway the same scheme
will be carried out.
The side streets from First to Seventh
and from Broadway to Main, will be in
United States bunting, the flags hanging
from the trolley wires in long, brilliant
lines, which will be wonderfully effect
i've Ali the approaches from the depots
will be trimmed with fans and pen
nants each side of the trolleys. These
will be fastened upon wires, and will
keep the design throughout the week
intact. All the trolley wires on Spring,
Broadway and Main streets will be
strung with tri-colored electric lights,
making at night a most exquisite scene
of twinkling color effect.
Electric arches, shaped like an in
verted V, will span First, Second and
Third streets upon Spring, also Third
street upon Broadway. and at the Baker
block, Harper Reynolds, Meyberg's and
the Van Nuys on Main street. These
arches are exquisitely picturesque. One
thousand lights are ordered, and in the
arches between each light will be sus-
pended a Fiesta pennant The whole
effect will be indescribably beautiful
The poles will all be decorated with
palms and green's Largs American
flags of bunting will be hung all along
the principal streets, with the Fiesta
flag at intervals. These will be drawn
back at night for the electric light ef-
fects.
tri-color bunting, which has been
shirred, and will be suspended on wires
in the shape of v. These long lines
will be from five to twelve feet above
the walk, and will extend from the plaza
to Seventh street. They will give the
effect of long tunnel of vivid color.
This idea is wholly different from any
thing of any previous Fiestas, and will
be charming in artistic effectiveness.

On the Warpath

Meat and Milk Inspector Dodson was
on the warpath yesterday after dairy
man named A. II. Rowland, whose place
is at Wannack's park. 1t appears that
Rowland's COWS got loose and were
taken up by the poundmaster The
dairyman went to the pound and tol6a
cock and bull story about DR.. Dodson
having condemned the milk from the
COWS because it was spoiled by the AMI
mails being driven too fast, and further
that the inspector proposed to make
things warm for the poundmaster, as
result of which he succeeded in recover
ing his cows at considerably less than
the ruling rate. AS Dr. Dodson never
saw the man Rowland, or his cows or
had anything to do with either of them,
he is anxious to have a personal inter-
view with the man who used his name
in vain.

Main Street Pavement

Another complication has arisen which
may temporarily delay the work of tear
ing up and relaying the asphalt surface
of the Main street pavement. 1t ap-
pears that the asphalt contractors that
the Millspaugh hackers want to do the
work have formed connections very
closely allied with the men interested in.
and who supervised the laying of the
pavement in the first instance. This is
not satisfactory to General Contractor
Long, who is apprehensive that the
property owners may not be satisfied
and will again protest. The matter may,
however, be settled in fev days, when
the work will proceed.
