No credence is given to the above
sensational report in this vicinity.
The fact that steel nail was driven
through the great toe of the foot found
on the car in Chicago is but slim evil
dence that a crime had been COM
mitted. 1t is scarcely likely that a
man could have been nailed to the
ties by single steel spike through q
great toe. Another evidence that crime
was not committed was that the
man had money in his pocket. 1t may
have been suicide but it could moi
have been murder by mailing or tieine
to the track.

The fact that Sumner county leads
every county 10 the state, in one Of
the best wheat crop years the state
has ever seen, is no small item. Just
now the eyes Of the world are turned
toward Kansas on account OF the i'm
mense wheat yie.d. Foreign coun-
tries are short on wheat this year, and
we will be depended on to supply a
large share of the worlds breadstuffs.
SImner county has received a great
deal Of free advertising on account OF
heing the banner wheat county in
Kansas this year. BY little effort
on the part Of our citizens the fact
that she is the best wheat county in
the world Gao be indelibly impressed
upon the minds Of the people. We
suggest 70 the merchants of Yelling
ton aud other towns 10 the
county, that the above schedule be
printed on their letter heads, envel-
Opes, business cards, ETC., that the
fact that Sumner stands in the lead
may be impressed upon the minds Of
every person with whom they come 10
contact. Let the fertility OF Sumner
county's soil be known; let il be
known that here in Sumner county,
we raise more wheat to the acre, and
have larger acreage than any other
county in the best wheat raising state
on earth, The total yield OF winter
wheat this year aggregates 1852, OS7
bushels, with two exceptions, 1891
and 1892, the largest yield in the his.
