Can Grow Cotton.

The Jacksonville Sentinel Office has
a bunch of cotton blossoms grown by
Peter Deiscb, book keeper and stenog-
rapher in E. A. Reames' Office that
were picked from cotton plants grown
at his home in that place. Mr..
Deisch is formerly from Helena, Ar
kansas, aud he went there last spring
for the cotton seed. The plants have
made a fair growth but not so good as
in their native climate as the nights
are rather too cold for cotton to be
successfully grown here. The plants
are now about three feet high and
contain several full formed balls that
may ripen should the weather con-
tinue warm for two or three weeks
longer.

The Legislature of 1908 passed an
act changing the time Of making the
annual tax levy from January to July
and it was provided that the new act
shall go into effect on January j.
1904. An assessment has been made
in every county in the state in con-
temptation Of n levy in Jaunary.
The supreme court holds that when
the safe board OF apportionment and
the county courts hold their meetings
in January they will be without
any authority to make tax levy at
that time, for the new law has entire
ly swept away the old. A special
session Of tho Legislature will
probably be called for the purpose OF
authorizing levy in January, for
otherwise state, county, city and
school district warrants must be en-
dorsed for want OF funds and the in
terest they will draw will amount to
many times the cost Of special ses'
giOn.

During the whole period not one word
of news was received from her, ana
the mother mourned her as dead, vet

made on foot across country. the way
leading her through a herd of cattle
and over an immense field of wheat.
Mrs. Crockett had been at the neigh
boris house but three days when her
husband rode I'D to the door on horse
back Through the window she saw
him and heard his inquiry for her AT
that moment she resolved to secure the
horse. return for her children and get
away with them before he could over
take her.
The opportunity came shortly after
ward when her husband walked with
the farmer to the barn. When she
arrived at the camp she found the chill
dren in the care of the man by whom
her husband was employed. He refused
to give them up until the father should
return. and then it was decided by a
test. The old fellow was ''sQuaw

and the test" was to be that employed
by the Indians. The boys, according
to the custom. were to be given to the
father. the girl to the one of her par

While al Fredonia her husband wrote
her that she might have the remainder

them to her. In the fall she came to
Leavenworth to make her home with
her mother, who lived on Cheyenne

Croker came to Leavenworth a month
after their arrival to see the children.
He asked to be allowed to take them

for them. The permission was granted,
but instead of going to a store he took
all of them away on the train. Mrs.
Croker. who in the meantime married
again, heard from them only recently.
One of the boys is married and lives
in Texas. The other is making his
home somewhere in the Territory. The
daughter. who is now fourteen years of
age, learned a short time ago who her
real mother was and came to her at
