ALFALFA is
COMING KING
Farmers Find Land SOWn Is
Valuable.
Is WORTH 500 AN ACRE
John Norris Tells of Sowing
SEED 20 Years Ago.

Farmers are just beginning to find out
that southern Kansas bottom lands
adapted to the raising of alfalfa are SELL
ing away down below their real value.
The farmers have been making some
figures which proves that the three or
four crops of alfalfa harvested every year
Is worth a good deal of money.
John Morris, of the firm of Morris Sc
Rich, cattle buyers at the Union stock
yards. owns a farm near Furley, in this
county, and the twenty acres of ground
that he sowed to alfalfa twenty years
ago this spring, was one of the first
pieces of land sown to alfalfa in Sedg-
wick county 1t still fourishes and has
been harvested three to four times each
year since that time.
When Mr.. Morris moved to this city
last fall he rented his farm. He gave his
tenants their choice of giving him one
half of the alfalfa in stock on the farm
or paying him Sc an acre rent for the
alfalfa land. The tenants very promptly
elected to pay the Sc an acre rent. Mr..

1T WAS A BIG GUN.
And Policeman Thought He Should
Take Care of II.

Yesterday afternoon a big, rawboned
man about 80 years old, without collar
and wearing broad brimmed hat.
marched down to the Santa Fe depot and
paraded the platform with big revolver
in his hand. He had a good start for a
first class jag and with his gun seemed
supremely happy. The revolver was
44-cilabre Colt about is inches long, and
it looked more like single barreled shot
gun with the barrel cut off than a re-
vOlver. He did not want to harm any one
apparently. and the gun was not loaded
but the people about the depot turned
white and trembled when he came around
for Wichita has outgrown the days when
guns with shining barrels were twirled
around on the first finger. A policeman
dropped around and took look at the
gun and decided that the man did not
have any particular use for it just then.
The fellow was going west on the Frisco
so the officer gave the revolver to the
conductor with instructions to turn it
over to the owner at his stopping place
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1903-04-18

Norris said he knew that one-half the
alfalfa would bring him more than SC
an acre, but he made that kind of an offer
because he did not want to bother selling
thu hay.
Here is one point that should not be
overlooked. In the states east of the
Mississippi river farm lands are valued
at whatever sum the rents win pay per
cent interest on. Mr. Morris rents his
alfalfa meadow for a sum equqal TO 6
per cent interest on one hundred dollars.
Then under the same rule of determin-
ing the value of farm lands, the alfalfa
lands in the lower Arkansas valley and
in Sedgwick are worth 500 an acre.
Frank Sarver of this city, has an alfalfa
field in Chisholm creek bottom northeast
of this city, which he rents for SIC an
acre which makes the land worth S666 o.
an acre.

THE TRANSFERS STRIKE.

Strong Probability of Break Among
 the Strikers.
 Rumors which bore the earmarks of authenticity last night were to the ef- feet that the strike of the local team sters was about at an end, and that most of the drivers would to-day apply for their old places. This assumption was based on the fact that many of the men have become disgusted or are dis gusted by reason of the alleged failure of the members of other local unions to contribute to the fund in aid of the striking brethren. Yesterday was to have been payday for the men, and al- though the stated amount has been forthcoming during the past few weeks, the ghost" did not walk yesterday; hence the rupture
 A man high in the employ of one of the trucking companies is authority for the statement that number of the men have already applied for their old places, and that it is the intention of the companies to restore the desirable men as far as possible and avoid dis charging the men at present employed who are termed strike breakers It is further stated that under no circum- stances will the companies accede to the demand of the men to recognize the union, but that they will insist on treating with them as individuals.
 Some of the men are already at work for the trucking companies, while quite a few striking drivers of livery teams have made application for reinstate- ment and number of them have been engaged at their former figures.
 The local strike situation is not with out humorous features, and the fallacy of some of the demands, particularly that of recognition of the union," are strikingly illustrated. Several local firms who have signed the agreements are paying less wages than they did be- fore the strike. For illustration, one firm in particular had five or six driv- CTS whom they had paid $14 per week previous to the strike. Each one of these drivers is now receiving the union scale of wages, or SIP per week. a sac rifice of s2 for the sake of the union. A number of others have suffered greater reductions from like cause.

 The twenty-f1rst annual national council of the Knights of Columbus opened in Warner hall at 10:30 o'clock yesterday morning, and of the ninety seven delegates and officers expected only seven were absent.
 The morning session was presided over by Supreme Knight Edward L. Hearn, who, after the roll call and the selection of the convention officers, ap- pointed the following committees:
 Committee on laws and resolutions J. E. Mcconnell, J. W. Hogan, P. J. McNulty, c. R. Barnes, J. c. Pelletier.

 Following this the reports of Supreme Knight Hearn and National Secretary Daniel ColWell were read and approved.
 Supreme Knight Hearn in his address dwelt upon the strength of unity and of the hospital work that is being done in New York and Massachusetts. Of the progress and growth of the order he said:
 From the viewpoint of organization and increase the year 1902 has been very busy and prosperous. Since Jan uary 1, 1902, We have extended our field of operations into the states of Califor- mia, Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, North Dakota, Wash ington, Oregon, Montana and the Prov ince of Ontario. Before the lapse of a month we will have instituted coun- cils in Indian Territory, Mississippi and the Province of Manitoba. From Jan- uary 1, 1902, to May 25, 1903, we have instituted 127 councils 43 of them hav- ing been instituted since the first of the present year. These additions bring the total number of councils to 730, while there have been assigned numbers for 790 councils. It, is not necessary for me to dwell here on the membership figures which you will re- ceive in the report of the national sec- retary. I need only say that the new territory opened up in the latter part of the year 1901, and during 1902, bids fair to be the best territory acquired

FOOD WON
In a Case of Appendicitis.

Food cured a well-known Kansas school teacher of appendicitis. "A year ago last July I was taken sick with ap- pendicitis ana was operated upon, being down in bed for weeks, and although was given up to die by the doctor and the entire community I got up again and went back to work although a wreck. About the middle of last Febru- ary was taken sick the same way, but went to Eureka Springs and stayed for 5 months, ill all the time and just about half alive.
 Tt was about this time I received a letter from an aunt in Nebraska telling me of what a food called Grape-Nuts had done for her and asking me to try 1t. I did so and in a short time Grape Nuts had done me more good than all of the treatments put together. My case is spoken of as one of the most inter- esting in Kansas for I spent over $1000 for medical treatment and finally had to fall back on food and am now getting along far better than I have before for several years. I am recuperating rapid ly and getting strong and healthy again. My stomach and bowels are normal and on the whole I feel like a new man.
 
 'I studied dietetics in my work as school teacher but never knew before that the power of pure scientific food could be so great. I recommend Grape Nuts to all whether in health or sick ness, young or old" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek Mich.
 Weak intestinal digestion causes ap- pendicitis when much white bread potatoes, or partly cooked starchy cereals are used. Grape-Nuts food will prevent such troubles because the starchy part of the cereals has been already changed and predigested in Grape Nuts, therefore there is no over- taxing of the organs and no fermented food to cause trouble.
 Why not something new for dessert-~ something out of the ordinary! See rec ipe book in the package of Grape-Nuts.

 In required two innings to settle the question of baseball supremacy between New Haven and Hartford on the Savin Rock grounds yesterday afternoon. In that brief space 0: time New Haven sent one Hartford pitcher to the bench and made strenuous effort to send another. Hartford played steady game after the second inning, but the damage had been done and the six runs scored by the champions were too large ham, dlcap to overcome. Hartford managed to score one run in the fifth and that ended the scoring for the game.
 As result of the games yesterday Springfield and Holyoke are tied for first place with New Haven but one game behind. To-day the Blues will play in New London and a victory should result.

Judge Reed Has the Right Idea.

Sandusky, Jan. 6.-Judge Charles S.
Reed, of the common pleas court, on
Monday charged the grand jury to in
vestigate the report that a coal COM
bination exists in the city. In his
charge he said: 81 have the same
opinion of men who enter into an un-
lawful combination or organization
for the purpose of eXtorting from the
people eXorbitant prices for the nee
essaries of life as have for any 9TH
er violator of the laws of our state.
Men who organize to eXtort from the
people exorbtant prices for the nee
essaries of life, in my judgment, are
more dishonest than the men who
steal, and greater menace to our
community than the vicious criminal
who does his work in the night sea-
