This sentiment Of home coming to

They make pew homes without the

HELPED the Wheat. a..

The farmers generally cOneede that
Sumner county's wheat crop will come
out all right, with the big rain Fri
day night and Saturdays heavy snow.
The percentage Of wheat that had
been injured by the cold weather was
in fact much smaller than many peo-
pie believed. That which was injured
was not beyond salvation by any
means; the roots had not been killed,
and all it needed was water. Water
came in plentitude Friday night and
Saturday.
Saturday'ssnOw is gradually melting
under warm sunshine, and is seep-
ing init the ground 10 such a manner
that the wheat will get the full bene-
lit Of every drop Of water. The farm
ers agree that the ground is in as good
condition as it could possibly be, aud
the wheat not hurt by the high winds
that preceded the rain, will make a
good stand and II the weather con-
tinuss favorable, will make a big
yield. The acreage of wheat in the
county this year is very large, ard all
sighs point to Sumner county main.

AN ILLUSTRATED EDITION.
The Big Historical, Agricultural and
Industrial Edition Of the Voice
to Be Completed Soon.

For some time past ,he VOICE has
been at work on historical and de-
scriptive sketches of the several
townships of the county, illustrated
with views and portraits. Our read
ers have been made familiar with
the plan Of publishing these sketches
by installments, intending to repro.
duce them in the form OF a big
county edition. Obstacles have pre-
vented rapid progress with the work.
In order to complete the edition
this spring We have employed a
specialist in this line, Mr.. J. A. Bar
clay late of the Emporia Republi-
can, who will complete the work.
Mr.. Barclay is an expert in this line.
He recently completed a very large
special edition for the Denver Re-
publican. In Kansas he has pre-
pared editions for the Emporia Re-
publican, lola Register, Salina Un-
ion and others. He comes to US
with the highest recommendations
and the Voice is fortunate in secur-
ing his services. We hope our peo-
pie will give MIN every facility 10
make this edition all it should be.
This will be the largest and finest
newspaper ever printed in Sumner
county. Every township in the
county will be favored with a histor.
ical and descriptive sketch, includ-
ing views and portraits. The pro-
ductions and resources of the county
will be amply commented upon and
its advantages fully set forth.
Consisting of 10000 copies, print
ed on heavy book paper, it will form
the most valuable immigration doc
ument ever issued in this section.
One coy will be placed in each
home in Sumner county, and thous-
ands will be sent far and wide to
reach intending homeseekers.
The edition will be non-political.
1t will be genuine effort to benefit
the whole county, and every one
should help to make it success. 1t
will be made the banner edition Of
the banner county of Kansas.

The Storm.

The worst sDOw.stOrm Of the winter
ragged in Southern Kansas Saturday
morning. For hours the storm was so
intense that it was impossible TO dis
tinguish any object block distant.
The wind blew gale and added to
the discOmfoTts of the storm. At2
o'clock that afternoon the sky cleared
and peaceful weather began. A Pc
culiar feature Of the storm was that
at no time did the thermometer 20
more than 2 degrees below the freez-
ing point. Tie temperature began
to rise at | o'clock and the thaw soon
after set in in earnest. Thirty min
utes after the storm began to abate,
the sky was clear and the atmosphere
was comparatively serene.
The big storm period Of the year,
according to Prophet Hicks, has
passed. The electrical disturbances
in this section were not marked. a
furious rain set in about midnight
Friday night, accompanied by cOnsid-
erable lightning aud some thunder.
The rain continued until daylight,
l.32 inches falling. About Q O'Clock it
began showing and for four hours
gave Wellington people a touch of
the kind OF snow storms they have iu
the mountains. Then the weather
cleared of and the memory OF the
mornings storm was like a dream.
It's Kansas way.

TO AWAIT LAWTON'S COMING.
General Fight May Open at Manila Next
Week. With Lawteu in Charge.

Manila, March 9.-It is expected
that general movement against the
insurgents will soon begin. General
Otis has about perfected his plan OF
campaign, one Of the principal objects
OF which will be the attempted cap
ture of AguinaldO. The movement
will begin as soon as General Lawton
arrives. The Grant, with Lawton
aud 1000 regular troops, is expected
to reach here tomorrow morning.
Lswton will take entire charge OF the
field, but General Otis will be the
directing head Of all military move
ments. 1t is said that the forward
movement will probably begin next
week.

ened by the action of General Hale,
when he withdrew his command
Tuesday night TO the position it had
occupied before the engagement Of
Tuesday.
Wien this had been done tie insur.
gents at once reoccupied their lost
ground, and it is believed that they
looked upon the Withdrawal Of lIale's
forces as a retreat.
Nineteen insurgent sharpshoOters
have been captured by Captain Linck
OF the First Idaho infantry, without
the loss Of a man. When the Fill.
pinos were called upon to surrender
they complied at once, laying down
their arms and without attempt to

SMALL POX.
Two Well Developed Cases Reported
at Bitter Greek.

DR.. W. NJ. Martin, county health
officer, received telegram yesterday
afternoon from DR.. Geeslin Of Ashton,
informing him Of two cases Of small
pox near Bitter Creek, four miles
south OF Geuda Springs. 1t is not
known whether the patients are
children or adults, or il both cases are
in one family. Instructions were
sent DR.. Geeslin yesterday afternoon
to keep the cases under a rigid quar-
antine.
While there is no immediate cause
for alarm In Wellington, it is well
that the utmost precaltiOn be exer-
cised and the disease be guarded
against by vaccination. Smallpox
has been prevalent in the eastern and
northern part Of the state, and in the
east and south all winter. These are
the first cases In this county. The
disease appeared at Newton few
days ago.
Bitter Creek is 81 miles from We'll
lington and Is not on a railroad. The
people in that portion Of the county
do their trading at Arkansas City.

Resolutions.

To the officers and members Of James Shields
The undersigned committee ap-
pointed to draft resolutions in mem
ory of Comrade D. W. Van Horn, who
departed this life March lst, 1899, re-
spectfully submit the following:
"'Tis not the whole OF life to live
Nor all Of death to die"
We recognize the fact that all who
live must die, but when as was the
Case OF oar comrade the living one
emb0dieS all that makes life noble
and heroic, whose life from cradle to
grave p0rtrays the very highest type
VI manhood; then, Indeed, is IL sad TO
stand by the side Of the casket con-
tanning all that is mortal of our friend
and comrade and bow in humble SUBJ
mission TO Gods inexorable law that
doGms TO fade and die the brightest
and best OF his handiwOrk.
Yet we do submit to the will Of
Him who dOeth all things well and
give last and long farewell to our
beloved comrade, knowing that, as he
will never answer to roll call on earth,
yet on the eternal camping ground
beyond his response to the call be
"Here."
To the sorrowing family Of our
comrade in their sadness and gloom,
we extend earnest and heartfelt SYM
pathy, but recognizing the weakness
Of human aid, recommend that they
apply to the Great Fountain Head OF
all life for solace and succor, assuring
them that we believe none who thus
apply are ever turned empty away.
We recommend that the foregoing
be spread upon the minutes OF the

JOHN OFT AND WIFE ARRESTED.
Plead Guilty to Stealing Corn and are
Fined $40 and Costs Each.


Fined $40 and Costs Each.
John OFT and wife were arrested
late Saturday afternoon on the charge
of stealing corn of John Keir. They
plead guilty before Justice Chaddon
and were fined s2O and costs each,
amounting in all to nearly SO.
The warrants were sworn out by
County Attorney Ready and served BY
Sheriff HeSkett. OFT was arrested at
the Saata Fe depot when he arrived
from AttiCa with the bridge gang.
On the way to the court house they
were met by Mrs. Ott, who had come
10 from the farm to take her husband
home. She was arrested and Justice
Chaddon was summoned to give them
a trial.
OFT made no attempt to deny bis
guilt. His wife was at first inclined
to deny the charge and stand trial,
but she weakened and plead guilty
with her husband. OFT cried like a
baby, saying that since he had been
caught stealing the matter had
weighed on his mind so that he could
hardly work or eat.
1t is understood that the Santa Fe
officials have written OFT asking for
an explanation of the reported theft.
