KANSAS EXPOSITION IN 1904.

Kansas never had more loyal
son than the late Governor John A.
Martin. In an address made by him
celebrating her quarter-centennial,
he said:
"The bone hunter and the buffalo
hunter of the plains, the Indian and
his reservat ion, the Jayhawkers and
the Wild Bills, the Texas steer and
the cowboy, the buffalo grass and
the dug-outs, the lopeliness and in
tensity of the unpeopled prairies,
the infinite stretching of the plains
-unbroken by tree or shrub, by
fence or house-all these have van
ished or are rapidly diminishing. In
their stead has come, and come to
The Chanute times., 1900-11-16

stay, an aggressive, energetic, cul-
tured, sober, law respecting civiliza-
ton. Labor-saving machines sweep
majestically through fields of golden
wheat or sprouting corn; blooded
stock feeds lazily in meadows of
blue-stem, timothy or clover; COM
Portable houses dot every hilltop and
valley; forests, orchards and hedge
rows diversity the loveliness of the
landscape; and where isolation and
wildness brooded, the majestic ly-
ric of prospering industry is echoing
over eighty-on one thousand square
miles of the loveliest and most fer
tile country that the sun in his daily
journey lights and warns. The
voiceless Sphinx of thirty years ago
has become the whispering gallery
of the continent. The oppressed
territory of 1855, the beggard state
of 1874, has become prince, rul-
ing the markets of the world with
opulent harvests. The growth of
Kansas is a theme that has always
enlisted my interest and excited my
pride. But l cannot hope to pre-
sent any adequate picture of the
Kansas you know SO well-the Kan
sas of your love and your faith; the
imperial young state, at once the
enigma and the wonder of American
commonwealths
What an opportunity to set these
and the newer glorious conditions
of our state before the world will be
presented by the proposed semi
centennial exposition which she ex-
poets to hold in 1904. With nearly
four years in which to prepare, Kan
sas by right effort can make show
ing which will astonish even those
who think they know her best.

Gigantic Land Frauds.

Atlanta, Ga.-A mammouth fraud
in the shape Of land grant in Mont
gomery county for $4,000 acres OF
land has been brought to light. The
purchased grants Of land are those
made to James Sworter on Jan. 3,
1896, two years after Montgomery
county was created. There is a record
of grant which was fraudulently
made in connection with hundreds OF
others. The attorney for New Fork
purchaser has written to Secretary OF
State Cook for g certified copy OF the
grants made to James Shorter, but the
only copy forwarded was a certified
witness of the act Of the legislature
declaring grants Of that character IN
violation of the law. There are only
! about 1, 400, 600 acres Of land in Mont
gomery county, while wsrrents calling
for more than 100000 acres in tn
county were issued fraudulently.
