Forty Veterans OF the Civil War No,
Living in This County.


Living in This County.
Forty old soldiers are living in
Sherman county. The great majority
OF them came here years ago and are
not only veterans Of the greatest var
in history, but pioneers Of the great
west. A glance at their ages at once
reveals the fact that ct the breaking
out Of the war, - years sgo, nearly
every one Of them were young men,
some q years Of age and many Of
them less. It is safe to say that more
interesting and accurate information
Of the civil war is wrapped up IN these
hardy old soldiers than has ever been
written about it. They emigrsted TO
Kansas in the early days from states
toward the east. If a compilation Of
their marchings and hghtings we're
made it would doubtless be found
there was not an important battle
of the war in which one or more Of
them did not take part.
Memorial and Decoration days Of
this year will soon be here and the
boys Of 81 will find their memories
busy with the past-of march, Of bat
tie. of wound and hospital ward All
these happened to some Of them.
The names aud ages Of all the old
soldiers now living in Sherman county
are here given. S. Edgerton, the old
est, is 20, and Robert B. Wamsley and
W. @. Johnston, the youngest, are IS.
If Wamsley and Johnston enlisted
when the war broke ont they were only
Il years old. The same calculation
would make CuthbertsOn and Robin
son only ID, 50 it is readily seen that,
taking this list as an average, the
union army had large sprinkling Of
very young soldiers indeed. And the
army Of the. south was no exception TO
this rule.

ABSTRACT LAW AMENDED.
Effective Bond of $1,000 Now Required
OF All Abstractors.

Effective Bond Of $1,000 Now Required
OF All Abstractors.
The. new law amendatOry to the old,
in the matter Of abstracting, is IN sub
stance as follows: a--
That If shall be unlawful for any per-
sons to engage in the business Of ab-
stracting or to make abstracts without
first having executed and filed with the
county clerk Of the county in which they
intend to engage in that business, a good
and effective bond, TO be approved by the
board Of county commissioners, in the
penal sum of 5000, conditioned that
they will properly demean themselves in
the business OF abstracting, and will in
no way mutilate, deface or destroy any
Of the records Of the several county Of
fees, and that they will not interfere in
any way with the county officers in the
discharge Of their duties.
This law is considerably more string.
ent than the one repealed. 1t does not
stand in any way as a mere foFmafity
but is intended to place the greatest re-
spect upon the records of the county
which, in one sense at least, are Of ines
| Unable value, and because Of their per
ishsble condition from wear and tea
should be carefully handled. The law
also eDjoins the most perfect and care
full making Of abstracts of title, as an.
person damaged by incompleteness o
error may have recourse upon the bOpds
men Of the abstractOr.

KICKED IN THE FACE.

Mrs. Swan Nelson Seriously Injured by
Kick Of Horse Monday Evening.
Mrs. Swan Nelson, who, with her hus-
band, lives about four miles northwest
Of GOOdland, was kicked IN the face by
a horse in the corral near the house,
Monday evening. The hOof struck Mrs
Nelson on the left cheek bone. The
force Of the blow cut the flesh to the
bone and left her in a dazed condition.
Her husband was near by aud caught
her in his arms as she was falling for
ward TO the ground. The blow was such
a shock to her nervous system that she
was taken with violent nausea, which
was aggravated by the swallowing Of
blood flowing from the internal injury Of
the kick. Mrs. Nelson was brought to
town about nine o'clock in the even
ing and the wound was dressed by DR..
Smith. Several stitches were taken to
bring the separated flesh together.
1t was about eight o'clock in the even
ing when the accident occurred. Mr..
and Mrs. Nelson were in the barn yard
attending to the stock An old horse
was making for little colt, and as Mrs.
Nelson ran to separate them the horse
kicked her in the face.

CUT WORMS DOING DAMAGE.
Attacking Garden Plants, Cutting
Stem Close to the Ground.
The Pest Does It's Mischief During Cool
Hours Of the Day-PuIls the stem Of
the Plant Into It's Hole and
Eats at the Bottom.

The farmers of the county, who are
raising garden plants, are experiencing
difficulty with the cut or corn worm.
Heretofore this particular pest has Civ
en- little trouble, but this year he is pres
ent by the thousands, and by nothing
but vigilant watch in the early morn
ing or in the evening hours can he be
successfully exterminated. The cut
worm is q fsstidious creature. He must
have a green, juicy fare which he serves
up to himself in the cool Of the day.
The cut worm has his residence in the
soft covering Of the ground, and bur
rows into the soil to a depth of two or
three inches. During the sunny hours
of the day he peacefully stretches him
self in his earthly dugout, but as soon as
night falls he comes forth like a thief in
the night and makes havoc with the gar
den plants
The worm attacks the plant by cut
ting it Of just above the ground. Then
he Tugs the stem to his hole and pulls it
in after him and eats till he is full. Some
of the farmers say there are thousands
of the worms IN their gardens and if left
to work undisturbed would soon lay
everything to the ground.
J. ". Hall, who lives near Edison, has
had a hard time with the pest, but his
personal vigilence in the garden has
managed to keep them down. One day
last week Mr.. Hall arose just as it was
getting light and with a stick in his
hand he managed to kill several thOus-
ands, while they were yet out forging.
The farmers report that the damage is
being done only to garden truck at this
time of the season, but fear is enter
tanned that when the garden cannot
supply the demand of these hungry
worms they will attack the wheat and
other cereals
J. B. Moore, Of La Blanche, says the
cutworms are thick in his neighbor.

FAN wheat. especially where it was
well put in, is making rapid growth.
The plant is well stOOled, the color is

in the city Saturday and gave very en-

better at this time Of year. There are

growing fast, and is now tall enough to
hide q rabbit
