Cattle Strangely Afflicted.

Several weeks ago a strange disease

blindness. The farmers were unac.

know II it was contagious but inform.
ed proper authorities. Now reports
come from Ellsworth county that
many cattle in that section are afilict.
ed in a similar manner. The Ellis.

THE FIRST PROMOTER. .
D. A. Butterfsld Of the Old Dis.
patch Fame.

Many Of the old timers remember
D. A. Butteriield's Overland Dispatch
which ran stage line through abb
lene. The stopping place here was
at Hersey's where the Sterl residence
now is. That was the last place to
get square meal before bidding fare
well to civilization and starting
across the prairies. Horace Greeley,
Bayard Taylor, A. D. Richardson and
other famous men ate there and prais.
ed the table in their letters. G. W.
Martin says that Butterfeld was the
original Kansas boomer, for he did
something that no boomer since, sim
gle handed and alone, has matched.
He settled in junction City in 1858
and worked in u saw mill. About
1862 be disappeared, and left his wife
in junction City to sew for . living.
In the spring Of 1865 he reappeared,
and organized 1.-The Buttertield Over
land Dispatch company" with a cap
ital Of $6,OOO,OOO. He went to Wall
street, New York, and raised the
money to equip the most magnificent
line Of coaches and horses ever
known. He opened the Smoky Hill
route and established stations. In
September, 1865, the company began
making tri-weekly trips. The time
between the Missouri river and Den.
yer was twelve days. The coach left
Atchison at II a. M, and at 9 a. m.
next day reached junction City. Five
through coaches with seventy passen-
gers passed through Junction City in
three days. The fare from Dem
yer to the states via the Smoky
route was 500, by the way Of
Omaha $l2O. Butterfeld kept
bis gait up until the cars came
in November, 1866, and in the
spring Of 1867 bis creditors began to
Jump him. People were still sueing
his company in the latter part Of 1868.
How he got the credit or backing for
what he did, no one acquainted with
him was ever able to understand.
He used at least $1,000, 900 in stock
ing the line. We have had big loan
companies and corporations do big
things on wind In Kansas, but no
single individual, with no previous
experience as a promoter, nothing but
hard work and luck, has equalled in
nerve and extravagance of the Butter.

THEY TRIED FAITH CURE.
Child Suffering With Eczema Visited
by the Sheriff.

A family in the northeast part Of
town, named Eyster, is entertaining
frien s named Zook, who have small
child that is suffering with eczema.
1t seems that the families believe in
faith cure and instead Of having a
physician for the child they have been
praying for its recovery. The neigh.
bors became indignant at that kind Of
medicine and complained to the coun-
ty attorney, who, with the sheriff,
visited the house Tuesday. They
found the child somewhat better, but
still suffering and needing care. They
gave the families severe reprimand
and warned them that unless the
child is properly treated it will be
taken away and cared for by The
county. There was no acquiescence,
however, and the reply was made
that medical treatment would be con-
trary to the will Of God. They said
that il they had to give up the child
they'd do SO, convinced that they were
turning it over to the enemy, but
would not care for it themselves.
County Attorney Kane says that they
will not even use Cuticura soap lest
it offend the Almighty.
Tue officers deserve credit for TAX
ing positive steps in the matter and
it is to be hoped that they will see
that the child has proper treatment.

LESSONS OF THE WAR.
How It Is Related to the Lost Ten
Tribes Theories.
VIII.

This Spanish-American war is dif-
ferent from all other wars. 1t is
causing an entirely new set Of ideas
to start up among the nations, SO
that all the kings and queens Of earth
have in their throats Jumps as big as
walnuts, because they see their doom.
Their knees are trembling. Their
old "fads" are melting away. The
first stroke of paralysis has struck
them, and in their staggering condi-
ton they will fall over each other and
cause much ENHANCEMENT and bitter
ness. All the other nations OF earth
have their eyes on the Anglo-Saxons
the United States and England) for
the reason chat the Anglo-Saxons are
the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel to whom
God made many promises that are so
far-reaching as to stun and stagger
anyone who examines those promises.
They sweep the earth like a roaring
meteor, leaving fiery track behind
them. A thorough understanding of
the Lost Ten Tribes OF Israel SUBJECT
unlocks the wi ole situation for the
next one thousand years on this earth.
The destiny is set by the Iron Hand
and it must come. The changing has
already commenced, and it will con.
tinue during the next thousand years
when all the earth will be fully re.
generated and redeemed SO that all
shall know the Lord and do His will
and understand Gods spiritual law.
This idea is plainly taught in the
Lords prayer where it says that a
time will come on this earth when
Gods will shall be done in earth as
in heaven. How plainly this is
taught and yet the people look at this
statement in the Lords prayer as a
huge joke or fanciful dream.
Thousands Of people are careful to
repeat over the Lords prayer as part
Of their worship service and yet they
do not believe one word of its state.
ment. The idea that this wicked and
murderous world will ever become so
good and holy that Goods will shall
be done here In earth as in heaven
seems SO absurd that they become
angry at once II anyone tries to teach
such doctrine. They will not hear
1t and will even seek to do all kinds
Of damage to the one who teaches it.
They forget the solemn fact that when
they fight against this idea they are
fighting Christ and thereby become
anti.Christ In the worst form for the
reason that they are preventing the
people from accepting and believing
the main point in the Christ gospel,
He came to regenerate and redeem
the world and He will never stop un'
til He accomplishes it and turns His
finished work over to the Father.
