Rev. @. III. Woodward left Monday
evening for Lawrence, Kan. He closed
three years ministry here, and will
take no appointment this year, but
visit among his children. Rev. Wood
ward had been confined TO his bed the
past two weeks, and was not able TO at
tend conference which met at Els
worth on April 3. During bis pastor
ate here he made many friends, outside
the church as we'll as IN, and the gen.
ial smile and friendly hand shake Of
"BrOther Woodward" will always be
remembered with a warmth OF kindly
feeling for the venerable pastor.
The grievance of the Kansas farmers
who are organizing to oppose the alleg-
ed grain trust is that each railroad
company has one or two big shippers
who handle the grain on their roads,
and have by one means or another Sc
cured possession of most Of the eleva-
tors at grain shipping points. Where
they have competition they pay prices
so high that they soon drive the small
grain buyer out Of business, and when
be is gone they pay what they think
the farmers viii stand aud handle
at what, the farmers say, must be an
immense profit to the shipper.
In this country the celebration Of Eas-
ter did not become in any degree gen
eral until about the time Of the civil
war Many protestant churches re-
garded the Easter festival as one Of
the institutions Of the Catholic church,
and therefore disapproved Of it. But
during the war the leading dissenting
sects began to preach Easter sermons
and TO decorate their churches with
Easter flowers, and now AL, or nearly
all, Christian churches In the United
States, irrespective OF title or designa-
ton, celebrate the day By adjoining the
pulpit or some portion Of the sanctuary
with flowers typical Of the resurrection
IF the Savior.

MORE MOISTURE.
The Big SHOWS Followed by q DRILLING
Rain which Confines Falling
for Two Days

Z - ~ 10y
The mud and slush resulting from
the big snow storms had hardly began
to dry when a steady rain followed
Shortly after eight O'Clock Monday
night rain began to fall from the east.
According to report It rained hard at
Colby, but here there was a stiff wind
from the east all day and masses of
clouds we're driven in q northwesterly
direction.
The appearance Of a storm was not
Disappointing. Two days steady rain
has followed the storm signals. AS a
consequence Sherman county is soaked
like a sponge and the soil is wet down
deeply. Never since 1892 at this sea
son of the year has the ground been SO
thoroughly soaked, and some think
this wetting down exceeds that OF. 1892.
The wheat is coming up and the grass
is starting nicely. The prospect for a
good crop season is very fattering.
1t is the opinion Of observing men
that this section Of country does not
differ essenti ally as to crop raising
from a large portion of Kansas lying
east of here, except as being newer and
on higher altitude. And when value
of land is considered, the money in
vested, rental, taxes, ETC., the difference
is decidedly in favor of this section Of
country. One man said he settled in
Republic county and remembered the
time distinctly when people were just
as anxious to get out Of that country
as they are now to get out of this
county, and men that abandoned their
claims or sold for a trif1e regretted
afterwards that they had not remained,
some even returning to lease the very
lands they once owned in their own
right.
Another man, an old timer here, said
he remembered some ten or twelve
years ago that both Sheridan and
Thomas counties were much poorer
counties than Sherman county, judging
from all appearance, but that in recent
years they had improved very fast and
were in. some respects better off than
this county, and had raised excellent
crops of corn and wheat for several
seasons.
Some men venture the opinion even
now that the time will come when
western Kansas will be as valuable as
any portion of the state and more pro
ductive in proportion to area than
sections of the state further east. This
year, the. whole state over, the soil Is
soaked like a sop, and prOdigiOus yields
of grain are anticipated.
If these things are facts, and they
cannot be questioned with any reason,
they make a strong argument for stay
ing with the country. Those going
away leave larger opportunities to
those remaining, especially in the cat
tie growing business. Feed crops are
as valuable as grain crops one year
with another. Here are large oppor-
tunities to residents and also to
/ settlers.

in word to DR.. ". II. FarrOw that he
was sick and did not know but what he
might be coming down with the small
pox. The doctor went down there We'd

the side of Gen. Macarthur and wives
of several generals assisted.
The introductions were made by Gen.
MacArthur's staff, assisted by members
of the staff of Admiral. Remey The
callers, after having been introduced,
passed out upon a broad balcony over

which has been prevalent in this city
for months, but which has been attend

case of even serious illness therefrom,

difficult to express the general dislike
not to say contempt-in which the au-
thors and instigato Of the proceedings
are held generally.

peared in the Pioneer Press, Winona was
