JIM AND JACK PHILLIPS are
 buying up quite a number of
 peach orchards. Among them
 are the following: J. Faust,
 2 1-2 acres, S225; Major Ma
 berry. 4 acres, S400; L. Powell,
 8 acres, $500; w. H. Covert, 5
 acres, 575;-Nickens, 3
 acres, S15O. The Browning
 orchard of IA acres, now owned
 by J. J. Miller, has been sold to
 D. Wing of Rogers for 5000.
 The peach crop is in fine condi-
 tion-Springdale News.
 The above shows the value of
 orchard lands, as ranging in
 price from $50 to S150per acre.
 It is strong argument in fav-
 or of planting orchards. Ex-
 pert orchardists say that
 Boone county has fruit lands
 that are equal to any, and we
 would like to see every farmer
 set out at least an acre or two in
 fruit trees.-Harrison Times.
 In making the above comment the Times editor displays some almost inexcusable ignorance, for an editor is supposed to know everything and then some. Capt. Newman reminds us of an old who owns a 20-acre apple orchard near Cassville, Mo. The old farmer had not been pay ing any attention to anything but fruit culture, and when he was called upon by man who was buying up orchards last fall, and was offered S1 300 for his orchard he proposed to go to town with his wife forthwith and make a deed so as to close the deal at once. The good natured fruit buyer at once assured the old man that it was only his fruit crop he was buying and not his farm. These sales reported by the Springdale News are only the sale of the present crop. Had the price of the land been in- oluded the figures would probably be multiplied by ten.

M. B. Russell Writes Quite ln-
 terestingly from China.
 The following personal letter from M. B. Russell will be inter- esting reading to his many friends and acquaintances among THE TRIBUNE'S readers.
 The letter is dated at Shanghai, China, June 14th and is as fol- lows:
 Dear Brother - have been so busy since I arrived that l have really not had time to write; then, too, have been sick every day since I landed. I am now troubled with my liver and diges- tive organs-not serious, l hope. But am compelled to experience degree of uneasiness when there is anything the matter with me, while the cholera is making it's rage. l am sorry to say that this dreadful disease is quite as prev alent here as it was in Manila. I have experienced the dreadful thought that comes over fellow when he expects that he is falling victim to it. You can imagine the relief I felt when my case was diagnosed and pronounced the trouble 1 have stated. It was great relief to know that 1 have something that is calculated to yield to treatment.
 I had hoped to regain my health by leaving Manila, but in this fond hope it seems that I am so far disappointed sadly.
 Here I am 23 years old today. Had you thought about it? I have just been thinking over the past seven years and what a wanderer I have been. I spent my birthday in '95 at Berryville; in '96 at Exeter, Mo-; in '97 at Waggoner, I. T.; in '98 at Chic- amauga, Ga.; in '99 in New Mex ico; in '00 in the Philippines; in '01 in the Philippines; and in '02 in Shanghai. God only knows where I will spend my next.
 I cannot say that like Shang- hai, although 1 have not been here long enough to express an intelligent opinion of the place. From what l have seen of it, it is very British and that means very aristocratic. A Aperson is weigh ed here by the clothes he wears and the amount of ''dog" he can put on. I have not been weighed up yet and don't know where I will rank, whether as Sir Count or have some other big handle stuck to my name.
 The people lead quiet lives here. No one but Chinese is ever SUD- posed to do any work.
 They tell me that Shanghai has nearly a million population, in- cluding 15,000 foreigners. The city has electric lights and water works but no sewerage system. The Chinese do the scavenger work and I must say that it is a clean oity-much cleaner than Manila. There are three distinct settlements here, the British, American and French, who are each confined to their own districts and subject to their own laws. There are all kinds of soldiers here, German, Japanese, French, British (Indian) and American. I have been out but little, so I shall not attempt to discribe this great city in this letter, but will leave that job for a more convenient season, when I feel better, have more time, etc.
 With best wishes to all, I am, Your brother

TowNsMEN SEEK COUNTRY.
an Impulse Received from
Nature's~F0rces.

What is the reason for the recent
exodus of well-to-do Americans from
our towns into the country? It in
creases with every year. What is the
cause of it?
AS I look into the matter says Re-
becca Harding Davis, in Success, some
curious facts come to view which I
think Twill set down here. The sub
ject is not one that requires close
reasoning. Perhaps little gossip
may throw more light upon it than
any argument would do.
I have here queer book, printed
early in the last century in the old
town of Cumberland, Md. It is the
autobiography of a hunter, Browning
by name, who, before the revolution,
shot deer, bears, panthers and some
times Indians, in the wilderness of
the mountain ranges in Virginia and
the Carolinas. In his old age, some
body who could read and write took
down his recollections of his early
days, and made book of them. They
give us some startling and suggestive
S1lllpScS Ol Uuc COuulU1On OF human
nature when it is brought, during
the solitude of many years, close to
the brute nature, and to the old
mother herself.
Here is one story, for example:
Browning, in his old age, lived with
a married daughter in town in civ
ilized fashion. But his two sons, who
were trappers, came down one winter
from the mountains and begged him
to go back with them for last hunt
The old man, then over 80, went,
and at first was rheumatic, weak and
irritable. But, after they had been
in camp for week, he went out
alone, one day, and got scent of a
stag. He followed, lost it, and then
''winded" another. For two days and
nights he ran through the mountain
passes like madman; the snow was
deep, and the jungles of thorns tore
his clothes off his body. During this
time he had not mouthful of food
except the nuts which he. took from
the squirrels storehouses. At the

Smells OF Cities.

Sir Philip Burne-Jones insists that
each city has it's own peculiar odor,
that a stranger can smell city.
''The great blended odor of the entire
city" There is truth in his remarks.
When stranger enters Munich there
is smell as of many breweries-a
peculiar, sweetish, yet pungent
odor of malt, not at all unpleasant
to beer drinker. After day or
two. the smell is not remarked, but
after the stranger leaves the city the
smell is distinct in his memory; it ex-
erts spell; it urges him to drop his
work, to take the next steamship.
We have not been in Munich for II
years, but that sweet smell haunts
us still. Paris has a peculiarly indi-
vidual odor; so has London, so has
Berlin, so has Dresden. Boston, no
doubt, has it's own smell, which is
highly respectable, but rather musty,
with suspicion of old family cock
rOaches.-DetrOit Free Press.

WIPED OFF THE MAP.
The Once Famous Mount Sherman
Station in the Rocky Noun
t0inS II No More,

Since the great railroad tunnel
through Mount Sherman. Wyo., has
been completed and trains now run
under instead of over the giant
steep, there has passed forever what
has been for IS years one of the
most peculiar railroad stations in
the world, reports the Chicago
American.
Mount Sherman station stood on
the very top of a mountain 5000
feet high, in possibly as desolate a
spot as human eye has ever .gazed
upon.
Nowhere is there ever visible any
vegetation beyond few scraggy
tufts of alkali wire grass.
Even this can hardly exist In that
region, where one may encounter al
most any day in the summer rain,
sleet, snow and hail, with a temper
AZURE that often varies from IS de-
grees to 40 and back again within
few moments; where the wind
never ceases to blow from Is to 70
miles an hour, and where the nerves
of many tenderfoot have received
terrible shocks during the passing
of storms, with the clouds touching
the ground and here and there hurl-
ing angry lightning bolts into the
mineral rock.
Now the map no longer has a
Mount Sherman station. Nothing in
the way of habitation remains to de-
note the past existence of man on
that dizzy height. and it is very
probable that the wierd, rock-clad
spot will never again be visited.
If, however. in some future age
science or quest of adventure shall
lead some curious person over the
summit he will find standing silhou-
cited against the sky massive pyra-
mid-shaped pile of chiseled granite
65 feet high, erected three years ago
in honor of the Ames brothers, who
made it possible to complete the
Union Pacific railroad.
A feeling of sentimentalism will
doubtless now and then creep into
the minds of those who have often
passed this monument, as the
thought that it now stands so far
out of the path of commerce, so far
from the haunts of men, deserted,
to remain there almost as long as
time shall endure.
Several years ago two tramp tele-
graph operators devised scheme
for making few dollars without
much effort.
They erected small shanty at
Sherman, gathered pieces of rock of
