crop would have meant bankruptcy for
Kansas, even more hopeless, if that be pos
sible, than that in which, according to
local testimony, the state is already plunged.
The wheat crop would have gone a very lit
tie way toward retrieving disaster The
Kansas farmer, patiently cultivating his
corn fields year after year, and watching his
grain ripen for the harvest only to see it
blasted on the verge of maturity, is a pa
thetic figure. If he can get little comfort.
q little taste of success for once, nobody will
begrudge it to him.
IF the man who has been trying to mako
a living on the arid plains of Western Kan
sas is wise he will take advantage of such
little profits as he can realize this year to
move away. A region where precarious
crop once in three or four years must sup
port a family, farm and mortgage
throughout the interval is good one to let
alone. They can better afford to make their
creditors a present of their land than to
keep it with the obligation to live on it and
try to make it pay its way" The Canadian
Government is taking advantage of this con-
sas, offering free homesteads in Western
Canada, said to be one of the very best wheat
countries in the world. There are official re.
ports showing that 25 and 80 bushels
OF wheat per acre are grown. Pam
phlets giving testimonials Of settlers and
delegates are being distributed free by these
agents. They also give information as to low
railway rates. Those who wish to improve
their condition should take advantage of the
opportunity that is thus afforded

Fayett Kiner was a brakeman on the
Mobile and Birmingham freight train
which left Selma about o'clock last night.
When between the B., S. and N o. Rail
road crossing and the bridge across Valley
Greek, about mile from the depot, he fell
from the top of a box car, the wheels pass
ing over both of his arms. He was not
missed from the train and he lay on the
ground where he had fallen for two hours
in an unconscious state. When reason re-
turned the negro got up nd made his way
alone to his home, which was at the foot
of Nance street, walking every step of the
long mile with his arms mangled into a
pulp and hanging helpless by his side and
suffering the most agonizng pain.
Arriving at his home he could not open
the gate, but managed to awake his folks,
who carried him in the house and sum-
moned physician 1t was ~ o'clock them
three hours having elapsed since the negro
had fallen beneath the cruel wheels. DIR.
Ritter responded to the call and found it
necessary to amputate both arms, the right
arm being taken off at the shoulder, the left
just below the elbow.
Will Russell, night Waterman of the
Southern Railway, met with painful acct
dent while at his work in the yard.
In some manner he got his right foot
caught by the wheel of car, the member
being fearfuly mashed lengthwise. DIR.
Harper, assisted by DIR. Gay. dressed the
wound and it is not thought that it will be
necessary to amputate the foot. Two small
bones had to be taken out, so badly were
they crushed.

very fair sport but neither the dogs nor
bear were injured to any extent, the former
being an easy winner An innocent spec

examination was found to be more scared
than hurt.
