MAKING A FORTUNE
A Former Arkansas City Man Is Do
ing Well In the KIondike.

Arkansas City, Oct. 13.-John Kroe-
merit has received a letter from his
brother, Andy who is now at Seattle,
Washington. buying machinery for the
mine in which he is interested in the
Klondike country. The letter states
that about twenty thousand dollars
worth of machinery will be purchased.
The mine is paying big returns and in
one day one man alone took out six
teen hundred dollars. The yield for
the past year was over twenty thou
sand dollars after the expenses had
been paid and now that money is to be
invested in machinery for the working
of the mine.
Andy is trying to get the machinery
back to the property before winter sets
in so that it will be in place ready to
work as soon as possible next spring
The property is some of the most valu-
able in that country and Andy has
struck it rich.

Is a Happy Man.

Leavenworth, Oct. 15.-Bernard File
sher is perhaps the happiest man in
LeavenwOrth. Shortly after the return
of Mr.. and Mrs. FIesher from Europe
about a year ago Mr.. Flesher's hearing g
became defective. They spent the past
summer in the Colorado mountains, but
he was not relieved and on their return
he was preparing to go to New York to
consult a specialist, having tried every
means here at large expense. His hear
ing had become so bad that it was with
the greatest difficulty his closest friends
could make themselves understood.
Now he has given up his trip to New
York and can hear as we'll as ever. He
was taken with a fit of coughing last
Sunday when as if by some magical
agency the obstruction was removed
and his hearing was restored. His many
friends rejoice with him.
