Kansas Good Year.

AAAASSS SvvN ava
The prairie west is getting long
distance away from the boom days.
One OF the marked changes In the
past year has been the building OF
new houses In the towns OF the
prairies. For over ten years few
houses were built outside Of the
larger citiss-sll the other towns had
oil the houses they needed for the
population, and more. The farmers
even feasted upon the Queen Anne
residences erected during the period
OF undue expansion in 1857 and
moved from the additions" the
pretty dwellings to adorn, sometimes
anonymously, their farms 1t is not
unusual in driving over the prairies
to see a modern cottage, that one in
stinctively knows belongs to the sub
urban architecture OF the cities and
Planned by a graduate Of an art
school, standing among the home
made barns and sheds that are part
OF the average farm. 1t was first
standing with twenty others erected
by contract and with some eastern
investors money in the pompously
named addition" then it was sold
for the taxes, and later the mortgage
was foreclosed. The farmer bought
it from the mortgage and put 1t on
wheels for the journey over the
prairies to bis farm where it is one Of
the wonders Of the neighborhood.
There are many Of them surrounding
every county seat that felt the i'm
petus Of the BOOM but there are
mighty few Of them left in the towns
that can be bought for moving away.
New roofs tell better than can any
figures the improvement that has
come to the western people. There
has been in the past twelve months
more paint put on the houses than in
a decade before. The towns that had
weary and lonesome appearance as
il they needed shave and a haircut
are sprucing up and Kansas is be-
coming picture OF contentment and
prosperity.
The net increase Of this years
agricultural products over those Of
last year is ST., 900; Of live stock,
$40, 1929, 900, or OF both, 1877, 1852, 900.
In the past two years the total in
crease Of the production OF farm and
rancho has been $72,S9S,975. Little
wonder that the Kansas farmer has
been laying up deposits in the banks
and paying off bis mortgages.
Whether he can keep on doing it
every year depends on the weather.
At present the outlook Is favorable.
The fall has been one Of the most
satisfactory for the wheat in the his
tory of the State. Cattle too are in
fine condition, brought so with little
expense for feed or shelter compared
with other years. At the worst the
winter can not be long one now and
with the wheat covering the ground
as it does it will take exceptionally
bad weather to affect injuriously.
The Kansas farmer is coming up to
Christmas cheerful and hopeful.

Evidences multiply Of the kindli-

brother know Of a sick brother or a
brothers family in distressP" When
this question was asked at a recent
meeting of the A. o. U. W. lodge at
Wamego it was found that one Of the
members was sick in bed; also that
he was unable to secure help to gath
er his corn and do other work that
was necessary. A few days later all
hands turned out, assisted by several
parties not members Of the order,
and shucked forty acres Of corn, and
hauled in and stacked ten acres Of
Kaiir corn, besides making things
ship-shape about the farm.

TIE CONSPIRACY CASES.
Detective John Cooks Aeeouo Of Of the Pro-
eeedings Given to a Denver Paper.

Detective John Cooks Account OF the Pro-
ceedlngs Given TO a Denver Paper.
The Rocky Mountain News has an in
teryiew with Detective Cook. from which
the following attracts ara taken:
"A story told by a convict In the ter
ritorial prison at Santa Fe last Deem
Der, charging Hon. Thomas b. Cstron
with various crimes, was investigated
by the detective with the result that
Mr.. Catr0n was fully and completely
INDICATED and the plots and schemes OF
enemies put TO naught.
"A few days ago at Santa Fe Deputy
Warden o. l.. Merrill. Cell House Cap.
tain Henry Beremsnn and ". Il. Garner,
alias Shultz. a convict. oil OF the terri
torisl penitentisry, were bound over for
trial on the charge OF conspiracy, which
consisted OF a bold and desperate effort TO
smirch the good name OF Mr.. Catron.
X. II. Bergman was discharged.
at turned out that every thing the
convict had said regarding Mr.. Cstron
was untrue and that Catron had never
visited or seen Garner.
Garner admitted that his story was a
lie. He made another statement In
which he declared that X II. Bsrgmsnn.
warden Of the ~penitentiary. his son
Henry B%ergmann. and 0. l.. Merrill had
promised him liberty for making the
first statement, it being their purpose to
prevent Mr.. Catron from receiving a
political appointment.
Many facts were brought out 10 show
that they had deliberately plotted with
the convict. The statement that Marshal
Fred. Fornoff had supplied the poison
was a base falsehood. Fornoff left the
territory last spring with the Rough
Riders. The plotters, knowing that he
stood a chance OF being killed in battle
and that he would at least be away some
time. had used his name. Just before
his departure he had visited the peniten'
tisry. having been summoned thither
on the pretext that many Of the fifty or
more prisoners he had sent there wanted
to bid him goodbye. Later the fact that
he had visited the prison WAS brought up
in an attempt to prove that he went TO
the place to hand the poison to Garner.
various attempts were made to In
duce Catr0n TO call at the penitentiary.
Merrill went to him one day and said
that Garner wanted u pardon and that II
he (Catropj would exert his influence
with the governor. Garner would pay
him $3.50 In cash. CAtrOn called up the
warden by telephone. asking him II Gar.
ner was seeking q pardon. The warden,
who had not been apprised Of Merrill's
visit to Catron. replied In the negative
Cstron dropped the case and did not e
near the prison.
at wss also shown that the original
statement Of Garner. N far n Catron
was concerned. WAS suggested to him by
Catron's enemies. who required him Il
commit II to memory.
"All the officials and guards OF the
penitentisry were discharged by Gov.
ernor Otero and a new set OF men In
stalled in their places"
