, Topeka, Kan, April 7.-Good news

ems whose affnities have kept out Of
their way comes from Grant county, in
the southwestern part Of this state.
They are invited to form a colony there
as lure to impressionable young ranch,
men. The country is so sparsely pop
ulated that T. N. Henthorn, one of the
principal land owners, has decided some
thing must be done to. add to it's at
fractions and encourage settlers. He
has hit on the idea Of getting some un-
attached women and locating them in
Grant county. He believes they will
draw farmers, cowboys and ranchmen
from all parts Of the state, who will
with gentle feminine hand to guide
them, settle down to the raising of
cattle and the .cultivation Of the land.
The first step has been marked with
no little success. Henthorn has found
thirty eight women who are willing to
take a chance, and, rather than remain
spinsters at home, 20 out In the wildss
in the way Of husbands. y Whether the
few men in Grant county will look
with favor on the land and comely
wife offer which Mr.. Henthorn is pre-
pairing for them cannot be determined
until spring. BY that time the little
colony will be established near Ulysses,
the county seat, and if the brave prove
brave enough, they will find the fair
waiting for them. s.Ea
z. No Adamless Eden.
The population Of Grant county is
less than four hundred, and nearly all
is conferred in and close around Ulys-
ses. 1t is wise precaution that has
led Mr.. Henthorn to plant his colony
where it will be within reach of civil.
.ization if his plans miscarry, for if the
women are unwooed & in spite Of their.
having to come to the place with the
object of tempting suitors, they will be
able. to- return from their, Adamless
Eden to haunts where they can be sure
of finding men.
But, Judging from the interest which
the project had aroused among the
Kansas ranchmen who hitherto have
gone fancy free, the settlement will
have no lack Of visitors after the col
onists arrive. The fact that sub
stantial dover, in the form of claim
of land, goes with each bride is likely
to prove an additional inducement to
cowboys who are tired Of bachelor life
and want to set up homes ofttheir own.
Careful measures have been devised to
protect members of the colony from the
designs of wooers who would take adj
vantage of their Innocence.
