GOOD TIMES IN KANSAS.
h. ]. Hodge Tells Kansas City About
Prosperity.

H. ]. Hodge returned from Kansas
City this morning. This is what he
told the journal about prosperity and
the big harvest: Harvesting will
begin with our people next week. We
never had finer prospects and we ex.
pect the natural increase in the vol.
ume Of trade that comes with good
crops at more than average prices.
In addition to the dealers from Kan
sas making rush purchases now to
fill late orders, there are plenty Of
them making out their fall orders
now and putting them in SO that the
supply Of goods may be on hand for
the advance trade that is now so def
initely promised. There is to be an
immense trade this fall in wagons
and II a man wants tic have a supply
on hand to meet the trade that Is
coming he will have to get his orders
in now in short order. Last fall the
big wagon trade went to Oklahoma
and along the southern counties in
Kansas, but this year there will be
scores Of new wagons seen in every
county in the State and the dealers
are hustling about trying to get their
sheds filled so that all orders may be
filled at once. There was never a
finer season for the implement trade
in the State Of Kansas, because all the
farmers are assured OF another big
wheat crop and they have faith that
good prices will continue

BLUNDBRBD AGAIN.
RECRUITING OFFICERS DID NOT
APPEAR.
Leedy Evidently Knew Nothing
About the Arrangements Nearly
200 Would-Be Volunteers Here.
From Wednesdays Daily.]

Another evidence Of Populist mis-
management Of the enlistment was
seen today. Abilene had been adver-
tised for a week as a recruiting sta
ton to fill the ranks of the goth regi-
ment. Would-bv volunteers came in
on every train. There are nearly
200 here, including 2 from Anthony,
2 from Anthony, 2 from Lacross, IS
from Newton, 6 from Scandia and
many from other towns, although
only about 20 recruits are expected
here. But no recruiting officers ap.
peared and no word was received
from them. A telegram to TT. Scott
said they had gone to Kansas City.
Then a telegram was sent to Gov.
Leedy asking when they would come.
He replied 81 think today" evidently
having forgotten what arrangements
had been made.
The boys are fine looking party
but many have evidently spent all
their cash to get here on time. Then
to find no officers and no arrange
ments for recruiting is decidedly a
frost. 1t has caused great indigna-
ton and Leedy will get roasting hot

WITH THE COWBOYS.
Harry Taylor Writes Of Interesting
and Lively Experiences.

MIDLAND, Tex, June ll.-Three
hundred miles southwest Of Fort
Worth on the T. 4 P. railway, which
runs through the widest wilderness
in the lands OF oak and cactus, Of the
antelope and the coyote, lies Midland,
Texas. Its population consists al
most entirely Of rich ranch owners
and, considering its size, is the richest
town in this respect in Texas. Yes
terday Harry Trower and came in
from a ranch 60 miles northwest Of
here being near the southeastern cor
ner Of New Mexico, after three days
stay there with genuine cowboys and
where antelope and wolves can be
seen any hour in the day.
1t may be interesting to know that
a herd OF cattle sold to be delivered
at railway from 30 to rs miles away
not grounded up" and driven directly
in but are simply "driited" few
miles each day toward the loading
point, so as to allow the cattle to
Craze en- route on the short grass
which is their only subsistence, no
other feed whatever being raised here.
News from the outside world grows
old before it reaches this point, St.
Louis and Kansas City papers not
reaching here until three days after
publication, so ambitious and up-to-
date war students, such as are found
in Abilene, should avoid this country.
Aside from the periodical badger
fights here which afford amusement
and excitement for the erstwhile list
less inhabitants, the only incident Of
note that has occasioned any extraor-
binary stir in these parts lately was
the appearance here several days ago
Of one Of Abilene's lawyers.
1t is not unusual to see drunken
cowboy riding his broncho through
saloon or the lobby Of the hotel here;
or runaway in the street pursued by
ten or dozen cowboys on horseback.
This country while uninviting in
the extreme could probably be no
better adapted to the uses to which it
is put. II. 5. TAYLOR.

Captain Watson tellsI.sn amusing

A young lady, friend Of the lieu:
tenant called and was invited to re-
main for dinner with the "mess. :"
She did SO and on departing invited
the lieutenant to call at her home,
take dinner and spend the evening,
and Callahan looked embarrassed for
a moment then bravely told her that
pay day had not arrived and he hadn't
actually car fare with him and it was
too far to walk. The young lady
promptly produced her pocketboket

Heavy Engines on Great Northern.

BY far the most striking feature Of mod
ern locomotive construction has been the
building of heavy freight engines. notably
the tweive-wheeiers for the Great North
ern railway and the new consolidation en-
CINE of the Pennsylvania lines. These
heavy engines are says the Ra.Way
Gazette, partly at least, the outcome OF
rating locomotives and trains on ton
mage basis, ana it is not possible TO say
where the maximum limit Of economical
weight and capacity Will be found. The
engines built but few years ago ana
considered at that time TO he as large as
could we'll be used are now small IN com
parison with these latest productions
on both of the above roads the big en-
riues are used only on heavy grades and
AT low speeds are able 10 exert enormous
tractive EFFORT. They are, however. in the
pa.urt. az sneciaI machines for a special
service. and II is safe TO say that IT VIII
he a number of years before such heavy
engines can be used to ADVANTAGE on any
cons derab!e number % roads in general
freight service.

All indications are that an unusually large
car equipment will be required TO handle
the crop. Reports gathered from various
sections OF the state by the traffic men on

tod me that the fruit crop IN Eastern
Washington is as fine as any they have
ever had" said /. A. Nadeau general
agent OF the Northern Pacific yesterday
From all We can learn the prune crop
this year will be larger than ever in the
history of the state This is particularly
true of the Snake river country and OF
Eastern Wash ngton generally. Orchards
that were planted four and five years ago
are now just developing into rich produc-
tiyeness. They will bear a full crop this
year. Conditions for a heavy yield have
been favorable all over the state. The
Washington prune has won its way in the
esteem of the people of the East and Mid
die West and shipments are constantly in
creasing year by year
