citizens of Channte, died at Gueda
Springs, Kansas, Wednesday night the
81 inst, at II o'clock, MIR. Bacon came
to Kansas at an early date and settled
on claim in Pleasant Valley twp,
Wilson county.
Frank married Mrs. Matte Tate
in 1871 shortly after moving to
Chanute and while they lived on
the fine bottom farm near town,
Frank continued to conduct his
business in this city but be-
gan to pay considerable attention to
politics and was elected to the state
legislature for the session of 1S72-73.
He was appointed the Kansas member
of the State Board of Commissioners
to the Worlds Fair at New Orleans
in 1854 and was elected chairman of
the Board. Under the first adj
ministratiOn of Grover Cleve-
land Mr.. Bacon was appointed as re-
ceiver of the land Office ut Oberlin
and he continued there four years.
He was also nominated for Lieuten-
ant Governor with G. W. Click as

Mr.. Bacon leaves a wife but no fam
ly, and his age was about 80. He
was a man widely known throughout
the state and country and as a polite
ian he was regarded as a conservative,
safe and wise counsellor. In his bust
ness relations he was upright and con-
scientions and in his home life he was
model of kindness, gentleness and
possessed rich fund of valuable in
formation on all current topics. AS a
husband, friend and neighbor he was
highly esteemed and his loss will
come as great shock to his friends
everywhere.

city and with this exception and an
insurance order it is not known that

manslaughter in the fourth degree
in the Wilson county district
court, was sentenced to six months
Imprisonment in the county Jail. Mr..
James killed a man named Culbertson,
but the circumstances leading up to
the killing were such as to array the
best citizens Of Neodesha on the side
of Mr.. James, hence this minimum
sentence.

Chicken Raising.

One Of the greatest mistakes made
by our farmers who raise chickens is
the raising Of leghorn or other small
breeds Of chickens. 1t costs just as
much to raise a small chicken as
large one, and when it comes to selling
you get only about half as much forit;
1t is true that leghorns are the best
layers, especially in the spring of the
year, but at this time eggs are so low
that they are not very profitable
through the fall and winter months
when eggs are highest, plymoth rocks
lay almost as well as leghorns. Again
it pays to caponize chickens if they
are large breeds, but small capons sell
little better on eastern markets than
ROSTERS. Some farmers say to mix
them ell up--it makes them healthier.
This is all bosh; anyone who has tried
knows that Plymouth Rocks, Bull
Cochains, Langshans or Leghorns are
Just as healthy when kept separate as
when mixed. you want to make
any money out of your chickens, get
some large breed and breed them up,
caponize the ROSTERS and when they
are 6 to months old, they will weigh
8 to Is pounds and be worth twice the
price of hens. John f. Barkley will
tell you more about raising chickens
for profit in ten minutes than you can
learn in month talking to the
fellows who "miX them all up"
is. Hutson was in town Wednes-
day and called. Ten years ago Mr.
Hutson was the owner Of an so acre
farm on which was a comfortable three
room house. Since that time he has
purchased the adjoining so and paid
for it in full ($1, 200), has just compile
ted an elegant seven room house which
is nicely furnished and fully paid for.
There is no use trying to disguise the
fact that times are hard, but in the
face of hard times there are men in
each neighborhood all over Kansas
who are working quietly along and
getting little ahead each year. tbs
needless to say they are not in polltlcs.
