HUNDREDS DEAD ON THE RANGE.
The Recent Heavy Snow Covers
Grass and Cattle Starve.
Estimated Loss in sherman County Put al
Two Thousand Head-WithOut Feed
or Shelter, the Dewey Herds Con-
tribute the Great Majority.

The carcases of 1000 head of cattle
lie on the plains Of Sherman county, the
frightful sacrifice to the raYsges Of the
STORM Not since the days of the gi-
gantic herd and the first advent Of the
prairie schooner upon the plains Of
western Kansas has there been such an
unfavorable winter for the grazing Of
cattle and such an alarming loss.
Ranchers as a whole have trusted too
much 70 the hope Of a mild winter and
failed to put in sufficient crop in case of
continual bad weather to tide their cat
tie through. But it is doubtful If the
small rsncher at least viii ever allow
himself to be caught in this condition
again, and he viii see to it that he has
fodder enough and to spare and sufficient
shedding, too, for all his stock.
A blanket Of snow foot in depth lies
over all western Kansas and cattle
without feed are starving to death
Reports from Dewey quarters say that
their loss IN the recent storm has already
aggregated 1. 800 head. Perhaps this
loss from their cattle in this particular
county is too high and is meant 70 in
clude their loss in the southern part Of
Cheyenne county. Putting the value Of
this number at SO ahead It means a loss
Of $4,000 to the company. But even
this is not more conspicuous than other
cases IN the west. William Plummer, Of
Stanton, 4 county In the south west part
Of the state, lost !, $50 by starvation and
at the same per capita his loss is $4,000.
Small holders all over Sherman cOun-
ty have suffered some loss Reports as
yet are very meagre but cattle losses by
some Of the farmers are reported as fol-
lows: William DOoling, ID; S. 7. Cald
well, 10; L. A. Golden, at one place. d.
A. Long, a number Of sheep and cattle
William Kubrt and H. H Auer, about
10: And 90 with many farmers the list
would run from 1 to or 10.
In eastern Colorado the present loss Of
stock and dearth Of feed has greatly In
huenced the price OF cattle there and
good COWS. though thin in flesh, can bl
bought at from IS TO so head.
The weather is moderating, but it WI
be some days before the snow viii havr
disappeared.

HOYT ANDREWS LEAVES.
After Residence Here Of sixteen Years He
Removes TO wichita

After a Residence Here Of Sixteen Years he
Removes TO wichita
HOyt Andrews, who has been a lawyer
IN GOOdland for about Is years, left
Monday night for Wichita, Kan, where
he viii enter upon the practice Of law.
In the early days Mr.. Andrews was
one Of the law firm Of Bagley * Andrews.
This partnership continued several years
and after its dissolution Bsgley left the
country and set up the practice Of law
II Utah. Andrews then started out
single handed and cast his fortune with
the people Of Sherman county.
When the POpulist party came into
existence and in power Andrews fell in
with the movement IN this county and
made it pay. He was lucky in politics
and served the county as its attorney for
a number Of years. He may be cOnsid-
cred as being successful as an attorney
and has been identified in the prosecu-
ton Of a number Of important cases in
the history of the county.
Andrews possessed political aspirations
for something beyond the Office Of cOun-
ty attorney but never realized that
gilded dream. He carried a political
bee in his hat for several years which
buzzed for the iudgship of the Thirty
fourth judicial district. Last year he
could have easily secured the demo-pOp
nomination for that Office but was long
headed enough not to lead the rather
discordant forces OF the pOpulists and
democrats against the more orderly ar
ray Of Judge Charles Smiths re-
publican army. In this the sheaves of
the political field did not do obeisance
to his sheaf and Andrews, therefore, saw
that the tenure of that high position
would probably never drop its toga upon
his shoulders. He saw that he had lived
at his greatest elevation here and there
fore concluded to try the fortunes of
new field.
Mr.. Andrews amassed considerable
money in Sherman county and before
he left disposed Of all his real estate in
terests. He leaves nothing material be-
hind but goes forth with the well wishes
Of many people. He represents a type
of the western hustler who after he has
wrought success on the frontier need
not have much fear Of being Outdone by
less perseyering people Of an older
country.
Mrs. Andrews accompanied her hus-
band to their new field Of endesvOr.

THE APPROPRIATION is MADE.
Large Improvement to Be Made in
Railroad Works Here.
The Announcements OF These Operations
Made BY This Paper Recently, Win
soon Be Substantiated BY
Actual Work.

The Rock Island Railroad company
has appropriated $4,000 to be expend-
ed here ID making extensive improve
ments in its works and In remOdeling
and recOnstructing buildings. This is
the report that comes from reliable
quarters and Is not to be doubted when
the cuncurring movements on all sides is
seen to reveal the continuous outline Of
a stupendOus plan.
For a long time the railroad works
here have been inadequate for the grow
ing demand for a larger capacity, more
machinery and more men and when the
officials were here IN February they de-
cided to make the necessary require
ments.
The want Of machinists has seriously
hampered the full use Of engines and
they have to be forced into service when
they stand IN need Of repair. Moreover
they are loaded down with maximum
tonnage and over taxed. This condition
must exist so long as there is a want of
engines, which cannot well be put on the
division until more stalls are provided
and the capacity Of the machine shors
increased. Work has been piling up IN
til the usual force can not keep pace
with the repair. So it is evident tina t
something viii have to be done, aud eff
forts to this end are being made.
Sieger, general foreman, was recently
sent out to hunt up mer for this place
and returned from a trip east Sunday
morning bringing with him IS boiler
makers and machinists who are now
working in the shops.
New machines are continually arriving
and within the last few days the fifth
forge has been added to the smithing de
partment and a double duplex force
pump installed.
The smoke jacks in the round house
are not large enough to carry of the
steam and smoke. Consequently that
place Is in bad sanitary condition. In
the Inspection tour one Of the officials
said that the round house was not mt for
men to work IN. A new machinist de-
scriOed the condition quite accurately
when he said he'd be damned il he'd
work in place where one had to wear a
rubber coat and gum boots to keep from
being drowned, and quit
Hence are needed more engines. a
larger round house and machine shop
and more men. This will call for a large
appropriation of money and the 800, 600
has In all probability been set aside for
the needed improvements in GOOdland.

Horse Fails on Him While in Chase and He
Lies Helpless on the Prairie.
Andrew Kaiser, living near Rhine post
Office, about fourteen miles northwest of
GOOdland, had his right leg broken by
having a horse fall on him Monday.
Kaiser was out on the prairie near his
place looking for tall grass or stubble
where he could range his stock. a Jack
rabbit sprang from cover and he gave
chase. The rabbit made a quick turn
and the horse wheeled so short that all
four feet slipped from under him and the
horse fell on Mr.. Kaiseris right leg.
breaking the shin bone three inches
above the ankle and the smaller bone
about six inches below the knee Joint.
Kaiser laid out on the prairie in the
snow for some time, but BY haIlooing
Justify he was heard at the house and
rescued from his Perilous condition. Dr..
Gulick was sent for and went out Mon.
day afternoon and set the limb.

The storm Blocked Trans.


The storm of last week which brought
a foot Of snow interfered so much with
railroad operations that on Friday and
Saturday the schedule Of trains was
completely suspended. Passenger train
No. a got stuck In a snow bank near
Bethune Friday and No. Al was in the
same predicament near Edison on the
same day. Snow pIows were hurried
along the road both ways and opened
up the cuts. Passenger train No. 9 was
held on the siding at Phillipsburg about
u hours and GoOdland was without
mail for about a hours.
By Sunday morning the road was well
opened up and the blockade relieved.
Three trains pulled into G oodland Sun
day morning from the east, only a few
minutes apart, and were rushed out as
soon as engines we're available.
Railroad men who went out just be
fore the storm did not get back for al
most a week.
So deep was the snow in the yards
here that ten extra men were wanted to
shovel snow, and % hours pay was
offered for ten hours work.

HUNTED FOR LOST TRAIN.

A Burlington, Colo, Liveryman Found the
Limited Stuck in Snow Near Bethune.
Ia spite OF the fact that the Great
Rock Island ostrich IS calmly swallow
ing all the steel rails and rolling stock in
the country, a livery rig has now and
then to be employed to find out what the
bird has done with train and a piece of
track.
Last Friday afternoon the railroad
sent a livery rig out from Burlington,
Colo, to look for the eastbound Rocky
Mountain Limited, which was stuck IN
the snow somewhere between that place
and Bethune. The liveryman drove west
In the snow storm and found the lost
train wedged in drift only 200 feet east
Of the Bethune water tank The pas
sengers seemed unconcerned at their
plight-a diner was on the train and
they were living high.
The Iiveryman got SO for the trip.

SANTA FE TRAINMEN WIN.

An Advance IN Wage Schedule and the
Abolition of the Double Header"
A dispatch dated at Topeka Monday
says that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad and its trainmen have
reached an agreement by which the
railroad company will increase the wages
of freight conductors and trainmen
10 per cent and those Of passenger con-
ductors, trainmen and baggagemen u
per cent and abolishes the double
header" In making the increase in
wages it was only necessary to induce
the officials of the company to meet
the increase made by the railroads
which participated in the st. Louis
conference. The question of increase
was agreed upon early in the negotia-
tons and for the last month the solution
of the double header problem was all
that prevented an adjustment Of differ
ences.
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Is
the birthplace and home Of the double
header and it is believed by railroad
men that the action taken by this con-
ference marks the end of the double
header system on all railroads in the
United States. The agreement pro-
vides, however, that two engines may be
used in crossing the mountains.
The trainmen say that the most har-
monious relations existed between the
officials Of the company and the en-
ployes during the negotiations.
The agreement effects more than So
600 miles of railway and will mean an
increase in wages Of from 100000
to $4,000, 600 a year.

GOODS FREE ONE DAY.
A ReXfOrd, KAN, Merchant Adopts New
scheme in Merchandising

a RexfOrd, Kan, Merchant Adopts New
Scheme in Merchandising
From the Merchants Journal
Q. Q. Thompson, a live merchant at
RexfOrd, Kan, sends the Merchants
Journal circular which he has issued
advertising q great cash slaughter sale
beginning March .. and ending March
81 The interesting statement II the
circular is that on some Of these days
goods are free. What you buy you DO
not have to pay for This is explained
as follows:
I'VE have the dates March ,, 3, 4, >, 6,
7, 9, 10, IL, -. 13, II, Is. II, Is, 70, %, q,
3, "a. .. %, q, 3, 80, and 81, put in en-
veloPes and sealed. These are drawn
out Of box, by reliable men, with the
exception Of one date; that is left. Tbs
ones drawn out are burned up and the
one left is sealed up in the safe at the
Rexford State bank and 10 one knows
what this cate is until the sale Is over.
Then a committee Of reliable parties ex-
amines the date and finds It is the day
that the goods cost you nothing. You
return your receipts that correspond
with this day and date and get ,Our
money back for what you have pur-
chased Each day Of this sale that you
buy goods Of US for cash we give you a
receipt for the amount dated the day
and date Of the month. Remember only
cash purchases get receipts. II you
buy any amount Of goods on the right
day, they cost you nothing"
Along with the circular Mr.. Thomp-
son quotes some very interesting prices
on tobacco, soap, canned goods, dry
goods and Shoes. This advertising
scheme can hardly be classed as q lot
terry, as there Is value received by every
one on all sales. The element Of chance
however, Is interviewer into the scheme,
and It viii undoubtedly result in large
sales at the Thompson store during the
month Of March.

SEED GRAIN FOR KANSAS.
Best Native varities More Hardy Than
Those OF other states

Those OF other States.
Since the mind Of the Sherman coun-
ty farmer is now occupied with the
thought Of big crop season he should
consider the kind Of grain best adapted
TO Kansas conditions and get it if he
can. An agricultural writer, speaking
Of better bred grain and corn for Kan
sas, makes this valuable observation:
Il believe that the surest and quickest
way to get improved varieties Of grain
and corn for Kansas is to begin with the
best native varities-thoss sorts which
have been planted and grown IN this
state for a long time, until they are
thoroughly adapted TO the soil and eli
mate. These varieties have the stamina
70 Withstand adverse conditions; all they
need perhaps, is a few years Of careful
and scientific breeding and selecting to
improve them and make them superior
70 the best we can get from other states.
Some who have planted the high bred
corn from Illinois have reported that the
crop from the Illinois seed was much in
feriOr to that from their own Kansas
grown seed It does not follow from
this that We should discontinue the test
ing Of varieties from other states or eli.
mates, but the suggestion is that such
trials should be made on a small scale
at first and Il a variety proves TO be
hardy and adapted to Kansas conditions
then begin planting It in q larger way.
Meanwhile let Us breed up the best Kan
sas stock"

Two More Sections Of Land Handed Over

Sam Vassar sold his land holdings IN
Foltsire township to the Dewey Cattle
company Saturday. His ranch includ-
ed a section Of decided land and a lease
on an adjoining school section, 1,2SO acres
IN all. His ranch was well improved
having large cattle sheds, house and
barn, wells, and one section under fence.
The consideration is said to be 81, 700.
1t is reported that the Dewey com
pany has also bought out Ben Jayne,
Jack Keeper, H. A. Spencer and J. E
Henson, farmers in the north part of the
county.
Mr.. Vassar said that had he been per
fectly free to choose he would not have
sold out. but that the extensive holdings
Of the Dewey company in that part Of
the county urged him to make the
transfer.
Some Of the men who have sold are
satisfied with the price paid and received
perhaps more money for their land
than they could have sold it for a few
years ago. But real estate has advanced
in price and number Of the best bot
tom farms in the county have been
bought up by the Dewey company. It
is evident to everybody that their cat
tie venture is a losing game but what is
lost in cattle will be made up in the
rise of land values. The Dewey oper-
atoms in northwestern Kansas seem to
have for their ultimate end a gigantic
real estate scheme rather than a cattle
venture.
