WALKED FROM ST. LOUIS.
Patriot 70 Years of Age, Reaches
Wichita in Good Shape.

Wichita, Aug. 13.-Charles Eckert
Griffith, known all over the world as
'Jayhawker,'' walked into Wichita yes
terday from St. Louis, having been three
weeks on the way. He is now in the
best of health, and although seventy
two years Of age, is as clipper on his
legs as a young boy. "Jayhawker'' is
an o1d-time print. He has been in the
newspaper business in Kansas when
the pro-slavery and John Brown
men were pulling hair; in Missouri when
the GIobe-Democrat was Democratic
and the st. Louis Republic Republican;
in Colorado when LeadviIIe was in it's
glory; in New Mexico when it had
India wars; in Illinois long before the
civil war. He knows every newspaper
man in the country, personally, and
talks interestingly of them all. He is
at home everywhere, is as vigorous
mentally as he ever. was. Some time
today he will grab up his cane and his
pack and set out for the west, jogging
cheerfully along country roads, unvexed
by the discOmfOrts of modern railway
travel and a companion of the hedge
thrush and the long cared jack rabbit.

OLD PEOPLE BUNcoED.
A Patent Churn Man Takes an Old
Mans ALL

Wichita, Aug. 13.-Some time ago a
young fellow giving the name of Ned
Green appeared at the home of A. c.
Hume in Clearwater, and boarded
there while selling a patent churn over
the county. Green represented to Mr..
Hume that he was doing a big business
and making lots of money, finally offer
ing to sell the right to Sedgwick coun-
ty to Mr.. Hume for 5000. Mr.. Hume had
no money, but held a neighbours note
for $500, and this he assigned to Green
against Mrs. Hume'S protest.
Green left as soon as he got posses
sion of the note, and in his hurry ne
elected to leave the contract giving Mr..
Hume the right to sell patent churns
in this county.
Now the note has turned up for col
lection, and Mr. Hume wants to fix it
so he can get the money, but has very
little chance to do so.
The worst part of the affair is that
Mr. Hume is seventy-four, and his
wife seventy five years old. They are
without means except a, small pension,
and have relied on the money repre-
scented by this note to keep them in
their old age.

Mrs. KIuge claims there is a will of

for the gallant boys who are now in

fought in the war of the rebellion, and
which are not and never can be assimi-

They Are Building Granar1eS anu
Will Not Sell at Once.
Larned, Aug. 1s.-Aside from the fact
that the recent heavy rains have ma
teriaIly impeded the progress of thresh-
ing and marketing the wheat in this
section, another element has sprung up
which promises to cut a cOnsidera bic
figure with the elevator people and
grain dealers. The farmers are not dis
posed to sell their wheat at the present
quotations and are building granaries,
storing, and will hold it until the price
advances. Very little wheat is being
marketed here, as compared with
year ago. The farmers of this section
raised and sold enough wheat last year
to pay off their debts and put them in
good shape. This explains why so little
wheat is being marketed from this part
of the state at the present time. There
are lots of wheat here, but unless the
price materially advances there will be
very little of it shipped from this sec
ton until after the first of next jan
uary.
