price, then they wouhd let the
Washington Factory have it, but
soon as it would bring a good price
they would send it away. Now
gentlemen, follow the good ex-
ample set by our townsmen and let
the Factory have your wool and
aid in keeping our home institution
at work producing clothing That is

the sand hills, and summer and win.
ter are always the same. The water
is not only absolutely pure, but con.
tains valuable medicinal qualities
which have attracted here many fam
lilies, who have received permanent
and wonderful benefits from its use.
While during drouths other cities in
Kansas have had limited supply oi
inferior water, Abilene has reveled in
constant supply Of the purest quail
ty, so noted throughout the west that
travellers are glad to secure 1t to
carry with them. Sand Springs daily
flow is sufficient for a city of $4,000
people, and it has not changed per-
ceptibly since the springs discovery,a
third OF century ago, so that it may
be considered that there will never be
a diminution of this exceedingly val
liable adjunct to the city's material
possessions.

1t is not within the scope or objec
of this edition to deal with more tina
brief outline of the existing condi
tions Of Dickinson county. The his
tory and early scenes are Of cours
full Of interest, and many incident
and thrilling accounts Of border, viii
west life, might be recounted by som
of our citizens and blood-curdling eS
periences that would thrill the hear
of the youth equal to the stories 0
"Dunas" or "Old Sleuth," but sue
is not our purpose. We deem it un
necessary and unwise to mingle tn
past history with the present and ia
more important conditions Of tn
present.
In vie v of the Misrepresentation
Of designing and unscrupulous dema
gogues Kansas as a state has suffered
much in the estimation OF othe
states north and east. These misrep
reservations have been made of lat,
years, and while only from the stand
point Of checking immigration tt
some extent, no power within design
ing man can erase the true greatnes
Of our commonwealth and perpetual.
restrain it, for Truth crushed to eartl
will rise again"
Nature keeps on doing her won
drous work from year to year and tht
denizens Of our great state con
tinue abundantly to supply them
selves with the comforts and neces'
saries of life, feed the less fortunate
and wax rich as time passes.
There is no state in the Union that
has more diversified products. Our
location between the 97th and 10th
parallels Of north latitude make the
climate one of the most desirable.
Traducement cannot detract nor take
from us the magnificent climate and
rich soil, that with all nature con-
spires to add wealth, happiness and
contentment to an enterprising, ener-
getic people.
The state has forged ahead at a
phenomenal pace, increased in popu-
lation and wealth, and our prosperity
has been heralded to the world in
such manner and form as to excite
the interest Of the laborer and capi-
talist in spite of adverse criticism
and now we stand among the natural
peers of all the states from which are
formed the stars which bedeck our
National escutcheon.
