said that he had a good home and got
along all right with his parents but
just wanted TO see the ounrry and so
concluded to strike out. The depart

to look out for him from his parents or
anyone else and the circumstances lead

GENUINE OLD TIMER.
Mr.. Beagle, an Original Medicine
Lodge Man, in Town.

Mr.. /. J. Beagle, of Parsons, was in
the city yesterday on business. He says
he is a Democrat, but for some cause
there is a great deal of prosperity in Par
sons. He does not know whether il is
due TO McKinley's second election or not.
He expressed the opinion. in conhden-
tial way, that outside of politics, the
Eagle was the best daily in the west
Mr. Beagle says he has kept track OF
the Eagle ever since the first number
was issued, because he was interested in
hearing from Wichita. He said there
was very few old timers who ever
camped in Wichita before he did. The
first time he visited the city was in the
summer Of 1859. He said If his memory
served him right at that time there was
six houses in the city and two of them
were saloons.
Mr.. Beagle said he used TO freight from
this section TO Missouri and he remem-
bers that at that timegr cgbersETAOI
bers that at one time he took a party
from Wichita TO Barber county to Law
out Medicine Lodge. They staked OF the
town and selected county officers and is
sued bonds 20 build new court house
and make some otfer Improvements
needed in a county seat town. he did not
have any interest in the bond issue but
he remembered that in a very short tine
the men We're au hiding out some OF
the state officers at Topeka got onto the
job and raised g storm about it, He said
there was no kick about il in Barber
county az that time because there was
nobody TO kick after b. brought his prec-
ious cargo of freight hack 10 Wichita.
Mr.. Beagle SAYS some people imagine
that il was the energetic class OF men
who came here that made Wichita. He
saws rhere is some kind Of charm con-
nccted with the location and he thinks
thai 1t was wichita that made the ener-
getic men here Instead of their making

here THAI made people feel that some
lhins wonderful was going % take place
~ the functions Of the two rivers. They
felt that way when the teamsters used

He thought that influence had never de-
serted this charmed place

MISTAKEN QUARANTINE LAW.
Jerry Simpson Vigorously Expresses
Himself Regarding State Inspection.

growing live stock interests. Arid lands
In many of the western tier of counties
which proved discouraging failure for
strictly agricultural purposes. have been
found TO posses large value as grazing
ranges. So everything that legislation
can TO do TO aiu this wea4-1 producing
industry is welcomed. And by the same
token any political jobbery OF unwise
legislation which puts a check upon it is
suicidal and eminently wrong. The last
session Of the Kansas state legislature
enacted q so-called quarantine inspection
law whose purported aim was to protect
stock men. but the unhappy and disas-
trous operation of which not only defeats
ius own ends and positively does not in

rasses and disc0mmodes lie shippers and

FATHER EPPs BUYS LAND.
Farms Selling Like Hot Cakes in
SedqWick County.

John Reed, one of the Oldest settlers in
Sherman township, sold his farm yester-
day This was the first transfer since he
received a deed from the government
of the United States. The purchaser of
the farm was Father Epps. the resident
priest at Andale, who bought it for an
investment. The price was $40 an acre.
Speaking of the price for which land
was selling in the north part OF this
county yesterday. Harry Stewart, of the
Dean Abstract company, said that land
up there sold higher than in any other
part of the county and that it was on
account of the Catholic settlement, he
thought Mr.. Stewart said farm in that
section was as good as money in the bank
because whenever a man intimated that
he wanted to sell, some fellow in the
neighborhood would go down into an old
stocking and bring out a roll Of musty
bills and pay him the cash for his farm.
He said a short time ago Hiram Smith
who owned a farm up there of 240 acres.
priced it at s1O.5OO and a neighbor hearing
of it, went to Mr.. Smith and told him TO
make out his deed. He got it all down
in cash.

CASE IS A MYSTERY
Miss Alma Shepard Leaves
Fathers Home.
LAST SEEN AT CHURCH
Young Woman Like Her Seen
Headed for Wichita.

Alma Shepherd, a young girl who lives
near Conway Springs, Kansas. is missing
from home and her father is very much
alarmed about her. Mr. Shepherd was
in wichita last night 10 get the assist
ance Of the police in finding his daugh-
ter. aud when seen at the police station,
he said that the girl was about Is years
old. but was large for her age She had
been working for a family in Conway
Springs, but had given up her position
and returned to hsr fathers house on the
farm. three miles south of Conway. On
Sunday nighe she told her father that
She was going to church in Conway
Springs and he left light burning IN
fbe house for her when she came back.
He saws he went to bed and when he got
m next morning and saw that the light
was still burning, he went to MS daugh-
ter's room and found that the bed had
not been occupied. He became alarmed
and notified a nedghbor and they went TO
Conway Springs, but could not locate the
girl there, nor find anyone that had seen
her Mr.. Shepard did not know what to
do. but went back TO his farm and found
In the girls room, tucked under the pill
low Of her bed. q couple of letters that
she had written, but not finished. One
was 70 her mother in Oklahoma. and the
other was to a young man in southern
Kansas. In both letters she stated that
she was going away and would never be
seen again, and the one written to the
Young man addressed My Dear Sam"
INF. Cd p i'm a
she could not keep a promise she had
made him year before and therefore
she was going away. Her father hitched
ND a team and drove TO Clearwater day
before yesterday. Two miles below Clear
water he stopped at farmers house and
the people told him that a girl answering
the description given had been there on
Monday night, but had only stopped
little while and had gone on towards
Clearwater. At Clearwater he could not
find anyone who had seen her and he
drove TO Haysville and the agent at the
depot there said that a girl answering
the description, came in there about 8
O'Clock Tuesday evening and wanted TO
go TO Wichita, but the train had gone
and she went out again. This was the
last trace the father can find and the po-
lice have not been able TO find the girl in
the city
Her father said she had no reason to
leave her home, as he was always very
good to her and there was nothing for
her 10 get mad at The girls grand
parents live at Agusta, Kansas, and her
father thinks that she might have been
trying 70 walk from Conway Springs to
Agusta- A telephone message was sent
by the police last night to Augusta, but
no reply was received from there. The
father is nearly frantic and fears that
the gir has met with some accident or
been assaulted or murdered. He re-
quests that if anyone knows the where

municate with him in care of the police
headquarters in this city.

RAIN is NEEDED.
Wheat is Heading Out and Drouth

Wheat is Heading Out and Drouth
Damages IL.
A good rain is needed badly in some
parts Of the county in order to insure a
good wheat crop and also TO give the corn
a start. In the southern part OF the
county the farmers report the wheat in
a very bad condition 1t is heading out
and is very short, mad the absence OF a
good rain will cut the crop fully forty
per cent. Owing to the growth the grain
made in the spring months the stalks are
thick, some say too thick, on the ground.
This takes a great deal Of the moisture
and not enough is in the ground 10 sup

TRADING IN FARMS
Rich Experience of an Illinois
Man in Kansas.
HIS VALUABLE LANDS
Brought Less Rent Than His
Kansas Investment.
VALUABLE LANDS

o. 2. Smith and Wallace AIcGinnis were
talking yesterday about the prospects of
heavy influx of land hunters to south
ern Kansas. They are engaged in the
real estate business and Mr.. McGinnis
makes frequent trips to Illinois, where
he tells the people of the advantages Of
this state. He has been instrumental in
locating many Illinois farmers in this sec
ton. The men both agreed that there
would be a heavy immigration to this
section this summer and next fan
When asked by reporter for the Eagle
what induced Illinois farmers to come TO
Kansas TO buy land, Mr.. McGinnis said
he would explain that by a parable. He
had always thought the truth could be
best impressed on the minds Of people
by parallels and he said:
About one year ago 1 brought a man
here from Illinois and sold him farm on
the Cowskin. It was the place which
John Allen of this city proved UP. The
man in Illinois sold his farm for $40 an
acre and I sold him this place for S35 an
acre. The man TO whom this man sold
his Illinois farm rented it for a number
of years for s. an acre which would bring
him an income of $500 year. Now the
farm that I sold to this Illinois man was
rented to Deacon Wilson and the Deacon
had it all in wheat. The man got poss-
ession at once and Of course got the rent,
which was one-third OF the wheat de-
livsred in this city. He sold his share of
the rent for 1913 which was just Sis more
than the high-priced farm in Illinois had
brought to its new owner. Now you see
that man will tell what his land made
him. He is still in Illinois and has not
yet moved here, though he intends to do
so. People are learning that the money
land can be sold for in Illinois and other
states east of the Mississippi and in
vested in Kansas lands will bring a good
deal better returns eople are simply
making the change because there is
money in it. I saw two farms sold in
the northern part of Illinois several
weeks ago. They belonged TO an estate
which was being settled up and they sold
at public sale for s126 an acre and the
improvements were very ordinary. Peo-
pie back east are seeing these things and
they are coming to Kansas to get some of
the profits in the rise of real estate. You
will see farm lands in this section and
Wichita property advance in very few
years beyond present prices. People used
to high prices see this and they are com
ing to reap some Of the benefits
If you are sick all over, and don't know
just what ails you, it's ten to one your

WICHITA Has COOP WATER.
Fred Alley Says the Sands of the
River Filter It

Fred Alley was explaining to some
friends yesterday why Wichita had the
best drinking water in the world. He
said that he had made a study of this
water question and he thought he knew
what he was talking about He had read
that ancient Greece and Rome had ex-
perimented on processes of purifying
drinking water and they found that clean
white sand made the best filter, but the
sand would become impure and had to be
changed frequently. He said the water
used by the people of this city was Ill
tered for hundreds of miles through
quicksand and the quicksand kept con
stanty changing, which prevented its
becoming impure. He said tests had
show that the water used in this city
was almost absolutely free of any veget-
able matter and it was the best water
in the world
