Mr.. Peter Oleson, one OF the most
prosperous farmers in this county, is
hauling his broom corr into Chanute
this week. He raised two big car
loads and sold it at the top of the
market, 500 ton. So he necessarily
feels pretty good. Mr.. Oleson in the
last few years has built and furnished
fine large house on his farm, and
bought another quarter section OF
land, and has just now completed one
of the largest and best barns III his
locality. Mr.. Oleson has abundantly
demonstrated the fact that farming
did not make his money by speculat-
ing, or trading in stock, but by good,
honest, careful farming. Pete Oleson
is not only successful man, but one
of the best and most respected citI-
zens of the county.
Last Wednesday afternoon we
were aroused from deepest medita-

our citizens dangling at their belts.
The first man we saw was Senator
Farrelly walking leisurely along, as

Daughmer, Of Summit, Ill. John will
again take up his residence here, we
are informed, where he will soon be
joined by his wife. Mrs. Daughmer
will visit short time among relatives
and friends. We are sorry to note
that John seems to be no better than
when he left.
Mrs. Len Barber, who has been
visiting with her people in Missouri
for some time past, has returned

brass casting and finishing business relates TO
the work supplied for office fixtures. in which,

THE FLORIDA GOPHER.

Rattlesnakes and lizards.


THE most interesting creature I ever saw

This turtle is peculiar to Florida and 1t is an
important factor In the domestic economy Of

thing can be real good and keep bad company.
The gopher digs a deep hole and a large one

except when out grazing. for this reptile is a
grazer and pastures Just like n COW. except
that it won't eat anything but wild grass. This
turtle doesn't like the vicinity OF water. and

Been Five Years In Captivity.
The fishes In the pool OF striped bass at the
Aquarium in this city have been in that pool
Ave years this month. during which time they

sands OF visitors. The striped bass are game fab,
sensitive and susceptible to shock. and with
in the first two years of their captivity, when
work was still going forward in the building.
some OF them died: only two or three OF them
have been lost. however. in the past two or
three years.
When originally placed in the pool thase bass
were, all sInali-six to eight inches long. The
smallest of the survivors Is now about sixteen
inches long and the largest about thirty inches
the heaviest. among them have about quad
ruplod In weight. There arc about thirty bass
~ tho pool. including two that are blind, a con-
dition not 30 uncommon among fishes as to be
remarkable. They are all lively and In excel

now With the passing Of the winter and the
steadily rising temperature Of the salt water.
In one of the ground 1oor tanks on the salt
