A wheat Ranch.

The work of threshing the largest
yield of wheat ever raised on one
ranch is now in progress on the
famous "1O1," just south of the Kan
sas border, on the line of the Santa
Fe railway. The ranch itself covers
10000 acres, a fifth of which was sown
in wheat this season, and which has
Welded about 10000 bushels.
With four threshing crews, the
work of threshing will occupy about
fifteen days. The income from the
wheat alone will be 100000, from
which a profit of one-half can be
taken. 1t costs but $6.O5 to SOW and
reap an acre of wheat on the "1O1'
ranch. This is from 60 cents to so
cents cheaper than elsewhere in the
southwest.
The ranch is located on the Ponca
and Oteo Indian reservation, and the
AIilIers who operate it, pay the gov
eminent So, 500 annually for the use
of the land. Two hundred men are
employed during the summer, but in
winter the working number drops to
thirty. The expenses of the ranch
are $575, 900 annually, the profits $780,
600. Five men are interested in the
ranch, all of them related to George
w. Miller, the president of the ''101"
Live Stock company.

Society in New York, according to
the Tribune, is preparing to receive
Prince Chen, who arrives there at
the end of this week, and who is the
first member of the imperial house
of China to visit the United States.
Prince Chen is a cousin of Emperor
Kwang Su, and is entitled to the pre-
dictate of imperial highness, and is
rather a handsome and stately look
ing young man, whose manners and
bearings are distinguished by those
species of hateur and air of courteous
condecension which are nowhere
found in such perfection as in orien-
tai pOtentates. He has been in Eng
land for the purpose of representing
the emperor at the coronation of
King Edward, and has been received
there as we'll as in France with the
utmost distinction.

Reported to be a Pretty white Indian

As n climax to a long and busy
life. Chief Isaac, the Powhattan of
the Moosehide Indians. of the Yukon
country, is now visiting the United
States. Though grievously wrOnged
by the pale-faced intruder who came
to the northern Eldorado and
crowded them out of their rights
and porperty, this. tribe always treat
ed the whites With magnanimity and
respect. They shared their land,
their bread and their game, and the
ungrateful invaders gave nothing in
return.
Before the white mans advent,
Chief Isaac was lord over all the
gold country. but did not know its
hidden wealth. His people were a
peace-loving race, and, Il generation
ago, were numerous and happy,
living by fur trading and hunting.
Privations and hardships and the
uphill fight against the encrOach-
ments of civilization have reduced
at Moosehide NUMBERS barely a
hundred souls.
When Chief Isaac arrived at San
Francisco, a few weeks ago, he said
the saddest lesson he ever learned
was the base ingratitude of the
whites. eff that is the fruits of civ
ilization," he said, in bitterness. #

PESTS BRING DISEASE
UnusriaI Number of Mosquitoes Threaten
Run of Malaria

Unusual Number of Mosquitoes Threaten
Run of Malaria
Rock Island physicians fear ma
laria now the mosquitoes have be-
come so numerous. Millions of the
little insects hum around the city
every evening and finding a human
being proceed to make life miserable.
But not only are the little insects
mischievous and cruel with their tor
ture. but their musical hum sounds
warning that malaria is coming
near. Doctors say that the little
creature can do more injury with one
injection of his proboscis than they
can cure with hundreds of doses of
medicine. Many persons are bitten
or stung, however, by the mosquito,
and never are more inconvenienced
than to have Il slight bump where the
insect came i'm contact with them.
The physicians have no remedy to
offer. and say that the best thing to
do is to watch that. the screens are
carefully closed so that the insects
cannot get into the sleeping rooms at
night, and To secure every other pos
sible protection. General care should
be exercised in regard TO health rules,
as poor health gives great vantage
ground for the disease.
Rock Island is not the only place so
inhabited. Word comes from Chicago
that the little fiends are there in
huge numbers, and from Milwaukee
come other reports which seem al
most as though they were erroneous
or exaggerated. The summer resorts
have the mosquitoes, and so do south
ern cities, and there seems to be no
hope of escape.

hands of the colored man and all of
the citizens of the United States who

HINTON WILL PREACH SERMON.
Happy Incident In Existence of
Church Here.

The sermon at First Methodist
Church of Americas on next Sunday
will be the last one ever delivered in
that sacred edifce, about which clus-
ter memories of the early days OF
Americas and which, for nearly half
century, has been a beacon light TO
christianity.
Next week the old building will be
dismantled and demolished
But in its stead will rise rapidly q
/ handsomer and more pretentious edi-
fee; one more in keeping with the
growth of the church and of the
progress of Americas.
The razing of the old church will
bring sad memories to many here who
will recall incidents of happiness and
of woe enacted within it's sacred walls,
Hundreds have there stood before Hy-
mems altar, while hundreds have, by
Living hands, been borne therefrom to
rest in the city of the dead.
Columns might be written of the
history Of this old building, but this
must be done by others more capable
and better Informed thereupon.
Irwas forty-six years ago that the
Methodist Church, stately and hand
some building of that period, was
formally dedicated amid the reJoicings
of all of the citizens.
Lit was momentous occasion, and
Rev. j. W. Hinton, an able young
minister, preached the dedicatory ser
mon. Ii is appropriate, therefore, that
Rev, DR.. J. w. Hinton, one of Geor
gia's most venerable and beloved men,
should preach the last sermon as we'll
IN this old church,
1t is an incident that occurs in the
life of but few ministers.
The invitation has been extended
DR., Hinton and accepted by him, and
next Sunday he will deliver the last
message of GOO in this old house as he
delivered the first one nearly o half
century agone.
But he will look into the faces of
few, if any, who listened to that first
sermon in the church.
Last Sunday Rev. J. Il. Wootten, the
pastor, IN speaking of this concluding
sermon, asked that all who heard the
dedlcatory sermon forty-six years ago
raise their right hand Silence reign
ed; a look of expectancy swept the
church, but not hand was raised.
Time has indeed wrought many
changes in forty six years.
