G. A. STANDARDS WINNINGS.
&c Has Won Fame and Fortune in
the Cattle Business.

Topeka Mail and Breeze: C. A,
Stannard, who is now proprietor Of
the famous Sunny Slope farm at En-
poria, the finest stock farm in Kan.
sas, came to Kansas from Pennsylvan.
ia about fifteen years ago. He was
only Is or 10 years old, and stopped
at Salina, where his brother and Mr..
Brewer, now the nursery firm Of
Stannard & Brewer Of Ottawa, Has,
were located. Not finding anything
else to do young, Stannard hired out
on farm, but his brothers wife OBJ
jected to this and insisted on Stan.
nard 4 Brewer trying him as a tree
agent. He was given an old lame
nag and rattletop buggy and started
out with the expectation that he
would be back in a day or SO to throw
up his job. Instead, however, he
proved to be one Of the most success
full tree statesmen in the west. Stan
nard continued In the tree business
for several years, making Hope head
quarters and running sub-agents.
He made considerable money out of
the business and when the hard times
came and the business became unsat.
isfactory he drifted into buying and
selling stock. He bought a small
farm Of so acres and often had sew
eral hundred head of mixed cattle
which he had picked up and which he
would sort into bunches and sell at a
good profit.
AT a closing out sale of the Rock
Creek herd of Herefords in 1894 he
purchased a few of the choicest ami
mails, and the next year succeeded in
capturing the big premiums at the
state fair at Wichita. This started
his boom in the Hereford cattle bust
ness and got ten orders to each head
of stock he had on hand, and he be-
gan buying and selling Herefords.
He secured the country all over, in
to Pennsylvania, Michigan, Canada,
Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, Kansas,
Colorado, New Mexico, anywhere, to
buy cattle and fill orders, until at
last he purchased, last year, the great
Sunny Slope farm, and herd of sew.
eral hundred of the finest Herefords
in the world.
He is supposed by his friends to be
worth anywhere from $4,000 to
100000. He owns several farms in
Dickinson county. and has herd of
about 400 Herefords at Sunny Slope.
He is an example of what a plucky
Kansas man can do. Coming to this
state without dollar, he is at less
than 30 years of age, one Of the
wealthiest and most successful cat
tlemen in the state. He is rapidly
gaining national reputation as one
of the leading western breeders of
blooded cattle, and has great future
before him. Mr.. Stannard is Re-
publican and takes an active interest
in political campaigns.

ABlLEHEITHs HoNoRHD.
State Sunday School Association Re-
elects Treasurer and Secretary.

GkStso AAVesoAASA ssA& StsASsAAI
The State Sunday school associa-
ton honored two Abileneites u. H.
Engle, general secretary and R. NJ.
White treasurer by re-electing them
to their positions. Both gentlemen
have filled their places well and de-
served the recognition of their SER
vices.
Among the resolutions was this:
That the present practice Of paying
for entertainment at the state con-
ventions be continued.
The report was accepted with the
exception Of the clause regarding the
entertainment Of delegates at state
conventions. Some of the delegates
were in favor Of giving free entertain.
ment to accredited delegates. The
executive committee had reported
that the convention be sent hereafter
to towns furnishing free entertain
ment. The business committee con.
sidered that the present plan of pay.
ing their way was the best. After
great deal OF discussion the matter
was left with the executive commit.
tee, who will probably report in favor
of free entertainment for delegates
with credentials.
The next convention will probably
be held in Clay Center, that city be-
ing the only one to extend an invita-
ton.
j. T. Drake, of Topeka, chairman
of the executive committee, presented
the annual report of the committee.
He highly commended the. very eff
cient work of the various officers, es-
pecially praising the treasurer, R. M.
White, Of Abilene. Mr.. Whites re-
port showed that the receipts of the
past year amounted to 81, 297.44. The
expenses of the ASSOCIATION amounted
to S2,362.l7, leaving a balance due
the treasurer Of S64.7S. The coun-
ties present raised all the deficit at
once and gave balance of 1851, the
first time in years that the association
has beer out OF debt.
Secretary Engle's report showed
LOCI schools in the State with 4S,O7S
officers and teachers and 2S2,397
scholars. The schools have total
membership of 325, 154. There are
over 5000 evergreen schools organ
zed, All districts of 740 in 65 coun-
ties have been organized, So counties
report 1865 additions from the Sun
lay schools to the church, 54 coun-
ties report 900 schools holding teach
ers' meetings. gain Of nearly so per
cent over last year.
The Hutchinson News said: "R.
NJ. White of Abilene, the state treas
lrer, is one of the busiest men in the
State. He holds an important posi-
ion as bank cashier, yet takes time
% get the association out of debt"
