Snow in General.

The snow which fell Saturday, Sat
urday night and Sunday was accom-
panied in this county by considerable
wind and the snow is badly drifted-
many of the roads being impossible,
especially those running east and
west. From the reports from the
eastern and southern parts of the
state the snow was general, extending
all over the state. 1t is probably the
heaviest general snow for several years.
Traffic on the Rock Island was de-
layed from Saturday night until Mon
day about noon, when the snow plows
had cleared the track, and trains
from the east reached this place.

A Merited Compliment.

Captain Tucker received a very
complimentary letter from Adjutant
General S. M. Fox, commencing his
work. Among other things he says:
II wish to thank you for the prompt
and buSiness-like manner in which
you have closed your accounts with
the state. The exceeding care you
have exercised in taking care of your
property and the very small deficiency
to be covered when the property was
returned has set an example that l
will refer to frequently in subsequent
instructions to officers of the Kansas
national guard.

Stationary for Farmers.

AS the years go by it is pleasing to
note that more farmers write letters
on printed letter heads and have their
cards on their envelopes. It was once
thought that no one could do this
unless he was engaged in the pro-
duction of some speciality OF breeding
some pure blood farm stock. No one
believes that now. Let the farm be
named and then give that with the
name of the owner and his poStoffice
address and the business is done. The
cost of printing is trifing in COMPARE
son with the benefits. -Lanark (Hl. J

Smallpox Case at the Station

Last Saturday morning Conductor
Aurand brought in a passenger from
Colorado Springs who kept a hand
kerchief over his face most of the
time. His movements excited the
suspicious of the conductor who ques-
toned him as to his disease. He re-
piled that he had syphilis and was
going to Hot Springs for treatment.
Notwithstanding this he was reported
to Health Officer Fisher who pro-
nounced his case smallpox, and i'm
mediately placed the car under quar-
antine. There were nine other pas
sengerS in the car. They were taken
out, their clothing, effects, etc., thor
Oughly disinfected and six of them
vaccinated after which they were sent
on in another car.
The man who remains quarantined
is being cared for by Archie Viers
and seems to be getting along as well
as could be expected. His name is
Sam Heiner and his home is in Colo
RADIO Springs.

of interest to stnckmen.

A case was recently decided in the
district court Of Ottowa county that
is of considerable interest to the stock
raiserS of KANSAS.
w. III. Washburn, of Bennington,
during the summer of 1900 took the
cattle of Mr.. Kubitscheck, among
others, to pasture. The water in the
pasture running low the cattle were
turned into an adjoining pasture con-
tanning suffciency of water. In this
adjoining pasture was growing volun-
teer and second growth Kaff1r corn.
About 80 head of cattle got onto this
corn and within one hour of eating of
it were dead. The suit was brought
to recover the value of the cattle,
plaintiff claiming that the loss was
due to the negligence of Mr.. Wash
burn. The jury found in favor the
defendent and the court yesterday re-
fused to let aside the verdict.

Smallpox News.

Or. Sslsher reports the smallpox
epidemic as about at a standstill. He
has raised the quarantine on num-

and placed it upon about as many
new ones. There is an increase in
the number of cases but most of them
are in families already quarantlned.
There are d few new cases over near
Speed, but they are in families al
ready afflicted. On the whole there is
great encouragement in the situation,
and Dr.. Fisher deserves great credit
for energetic and timely efforts to
stamp out the loatheSome disease.
