on selling the Farm.


We know farmer who got the no.
tion into his head that he wanted to
sell his farm, says the Farber Forum.
Some time ago he wanted to sell, so
he told his agent to sell If possible. A
hundred dollars isn't to be picked up
every day, SO the agent let himself out
little, used some printers ink, per-
haps, consequently the other day he
brought man to the farm, sold it to
him for the price asked, and a forfeit
payment was made. In two hours
after the purchaser left the seller be.
gan to have queer feeling in his
head The thought struck him that
he was now living on another mans
farm, or would be in few days. In
four hours he began to wonder what
he would do and where he would go.
He doesn't say whether he slept any
that nigbtor not, but he was astir so
bright and early the next morn
ing that he was on the road
to town by sunrise, where he
paid the agent 800 and the man who
thought he had bought the farm an
other 800 to release him from the
bargain. 1t cost him 5000 to find out
there is no place like the old home
stead.
Two other farmers in the neighbor-
hood sold their farms a short time
ago, and both were nearly sick over
the deal. They wanted the old home
back, one of them to the extent Of
paying $500 bounty, but he was re-
fused as promptly as be offered it.
The other party left for what he
thought was the land Of milk and
honey, but he writes back: "There is
no place like the old home and was a
fool for selling it. And so it goes ali
over the central west at present. Four
out of five Of those who sell Ia 10 days
after the sale is made wish they
hadn't. If man owns farm any
where in the corn belt about the
worst move he can make is to sell that
farm with the expectation of buying a
cheaper one somewhere else. The rise
in land values is so rapid that by the
time he sells, gets his business around
the old home Strengthened out and
gets somewhere else and finds what
suits him, another three or five dol
lars is socked on to the price.

Two Colored Citizens Involved in a
Quarrel in Ringo Alley-No One
Seriously Hurt.

"Dink" Jaskins filed the back of
Jim Caldwell's head and neck and
the upper portion Of his back with a
load of bird shot during a drunken
quarrel in the Ringo alley about 3
O'Clock Saturday afternoon. Both are
colored. Caldwell was very slightly
injured.
The darkies were only about twenty
five or thirty yards apart when the
shooting occurred. Caldwell was run
ming west and a number of shot struck
the front OF G. D. Glendy's store, an
unknown woman being pelted by sew
eral.
The trouble began early in the af-
ternoon by Caldwell attacking the
other negro, who went home and Sc
cured a shot gun. Jaskins found
Caldwell in the Ringo Alley, Caldwell
ran and Jaskins tired once at him.
A warrant was sworn out charging
Jaskins with assault with intent to
kill, and both negroes were placed In

AS TO CATTLE FEEDING
THIS INDUSTRY MEANS WON
DERFUL PROSPERITY IN
THE WEST.
The Great Corn Crop Raised This
Summer Will Be Converted Into
Fat Beef and Mutton the
Coming Winter.

ABILENE, KAN, Sept. 13.-The re-
vival of the cattle feeding industry
has begun in the great feeding centers
of the corn states. The stockers are
coming in from the range and will
soon be in the feed lots to be fattened
on the record-breaking corn crop that
has been brought to maturity. For
two years nothing has been done in
this line, compared with the demand.
Last season the corn crop was failure
and no feeding was done. The result
has been high price for beef and in
connection with other causes, has
made the industry very flattering for
the farmer. He wants to sell his corn
in the high market now offered and is
preparing for extensive feeding, the
most general movement ever known
in the history of the west. These are
the estimated numbers of cattle that
are tn be fed in tine corn states.

point as to be dangerous to the efficiency
of the fleet. He submits q table showing
that the present needs of the naval service
require 1000 officers while the number on
the navy list, including: midshipmen after
graduation is only ,023 or SIT short. He
figures that the vessels now authorized by
congress but not completed will require

the next four. years, or a total for the YES

Washington, Nov. 10.-General William
IN his annual" report to the secretary of

completed and tried with very satisfa Glory
results, the various changes not only i'm
proving the weapon, but cheapening and
accelerating the production. The rod
bayonet is a feature of the new rifle. Its
advantage Is said to lie in the fact that
1t lightens the weight of the gun and dis
penses with the bayonet and bayonet
scabbard now in use, and in the place of
which intrenching tools may be carried.
The new piece weighs but a little less
than 91 pounds, considerably lighter than
the German and the Mauser, yet has
greater velocity and greater penetration.
1t is noted that opinions differ as to the
value of the rod bayonet. The construc
ton of 5000 Of the new muskets has been
authorized. +
General Crizier embraces in his report

show why the ordnance department model
is superior. He says the bureau is pro-
ceeding with the manufacture of field ma
terial from designs which it has prepared
concurrently with the development of
knowledge by tests. Generally speaking
the gun will have a caliber of 8 inches
and will fire a projectile weighing fifteen
pounds with an initial velocity of LOO
