THE REAL THING" PROSPERITY
WESTERN KANSAS GROWTH Ex-
PRESSED IN DOLLARS
Taxable Property I'm Sixth District Has
Now Passed the Fifty 8Gn-
lion Marx

The song Of prosperity has been
long and joyful in western Kansas
The mere bread and butter stage
has passed away The people in this
magnificent section Of the state have
begun to pay attention to the ornate
in the construction Of their build
ings; they have begun to make the in
terror Of their home resOund more
with the note Of the piano; they have
begun TO ride more generally in the
J9hOlstry OF fine buggies, traps and
surreys, and this Is only the begin
ming OF more and greater things TO
be- The automobile stage will come
a little later. and that in turn will
Gus material advancement Of this
wonderful people that has turned the
wisdom Of their eastern brothers
wrong side out by reaping abundance
where it was said nothing would
grow.
One Of the surest signs Of prosper
ity is for people TO buy pianos. Pianos
are luXuriesi people can get along
without pianos better than almost
anything else, and piano manufactur-
ers know that hard times are felt
hardest and longest in their line Of
business But by this sign, western
Kansas is prosperous for pianos are
hard to hide and they nearly all get
on the assessment rolls.
Within the past twelve months the
people living in the twenty-five cOun-
ties OF the Sixth district have bought
335 new pianos, increasing their to-
tai from 1,645 to 1900.
Pleasure carriages constitute an
other item Of expense in which the
people do not indulge very much
when times are hard. And this is
where the Sixth district people shine.
During the past year, the residents
Of the Sixth district have bought 2, $50
new pleasure vehicles, increasing their
total from 1854 to 21,84A.
The Sixth congressional district, sec
Ond largest in area in the state, has
increased its total assessed valuation
during the past year from S49, 9,4O9,321
to S54, ,132,292.
The largest increase was made in
Thomas county, which jumped from
S1.S76,S13 to S2,5S4,745, an increase
Of S6S7,932.
Rawlins county, which is Thomas
COunty's next neighbOr on the north,
was second in the amount Of its in
crease. 1t went $5O2,324 ahead Of its
1905 record.
And Sherman county was not slow,
jumping from an assessment Of ST.
2SS,01S in 1905 to S1,711, ,S93 in 1906.
Its property increase went $423,S75
ahead Of the assessed valuation Of a
year ago.
Every one Of the twenty-five coun-
ties in the district shows an increase.
The following table shows the amount
OF increase in each one Of the twenty
two counties

LIGHTNING STRIKES A WOMAN
MRS. sHERRoD FRUSTRATED By
BOLT, TUESDAY
Body Was Taken Up for Dead, But
Woman Was Recussitated by
Heroic Methods

Mrs. D. r SherrOd was struck by
lightning Tuesday afternoon at about
1880 o'clock at her home about six
teen miles northeast Of GOOdland, and
was taken up for dead, but vigorous
and judiciOus efforts at restoration
finally brought her back to conscious
ness. Dr.. A Q. Gulick was sum-
mOned in haste, and Drescri bed fur
ther treatment The physician thinks
If not paralyzed, that she will recover
from the consequences Of the stroke
A thunder cloud was gathering
north OF the valley Of the Beaver
about the noon hour H NJ SherrOd.
who lives about a mile and half
from his brothers home, was at the
D. F. SherrOd place helping to build
a couple Of header boxes, preparatory
to wheat harvest After dinner they
both went out to resume work They
were north OF the house, and il seems
that Mrs SherrOd had gone out to
house some young chickens as big
drops Of rain began falling She was
on the south side OF the dwelling ana
between the garden fence and the cor
ner OF the wire fence, and a Ws.e
clothes line was stretched not far
from where she stood
Suddenly there was a crash Of
thunder, and H NJ SherrOd was
thrown to his knees as though struck
with a hammer. As he Strengthened
I'D he remarked, That is the closest
call 1 ever had in my life" Present
" the children came running and cry
ing and said "Oh. papa. what is the
matter with mamma; she is on the
ground and won't speak, They
hastened to the spot and found her
lying on her face, which was fairly
black with cOngested blood They
carried her to the house and began
efforts to restore her to consciousness
Water and spirits were applied free
" There was no pulse, heart beat or
respiration After twenty or thirty
minutes, she began gasping like &
dying person The neighbOrS were
sent for and II. NJ SherrOd fastened
to town for a doctor. He started by
way OF the Ryckman ranch, but was
nearly overwhelmed with a deluge OF
rain, the like of which, he says, he
never saw in his life. Water fairly
covered the prairie from six inches to
q foot deep, and the Beaver flats soon
had the appearance Of a lake, and ev-
cry draw was a roaring torrent He
hastened to town, changed horses. and
took DR.. Guiick with him to the home
Of his brother. The physician found
her partially restored to conscious
ness On examination, burns were
found on the right side OF her neck,
streaks Of markings on her shoulder,
back and side, resembling the ray
like flashes Of zig-zag lightning He
prescribed further treatment Of the
patient and returned late in the even
ing.
This same storm moved in nearly a
semi-circle throughout the north and
east part of the county, rain falling
within three miles Of GOOdland, and
east Of town Although a local storm,
there was heavy rainfall in some Of
the localities along the line Of its ma
ieStiC march.

Jake BOrah, the Presidents Guide. to
Have Charge Of the Young Hunters.
From Colorado Springs Gazette.
Although President Roosevelt has
denied himself the excitement Of an
other Colorado bear hunt this fall, he
is to be well represented in the Wilds
Of western Colorado,
Following the announcement a few
days ago that the presidents private
secretary. William Loeb, is cOntem-
plating a bear hunt in October, came
the news Sunday that Theodore ROose-
velt, jr-, the presidents 18-year-oId
son, Will arrive in GlenwOOd Springs
early next month for a hunting trip
along the white river in company with
a number Of friends.
Young Mr.. Roosevelt Will probably
pass through Colorado Springs on his
way to the hunting grounds, though
he viii not remain here long, for three
members Of his party have already ar
rived in GlenwOOd, and, under the d.
rectiOn Of Jake BOrah, who was one
Of the presidents guides on his hunt
a year ago in April, have already be-
gun their trip These three are s. c
Croker and Douglas Croker OF Pitts
burg and Shawn Kelley Of New York
Edward Kelley, father Of young Kei-
ley, viii probably come out with young
Roosevelt and the two will join the
hunting party at some point on the
White river.
The hunt viii last probably during
the month OF August.

'HE LOVES HER STILL"
How c. p. FaIine Regards Sherman
After q Visit in Illinois.

HOW T.. r Eal1Ee heEaECLS sherman
After a Visit I'm Illinois.
One OF the most astonishing facts
that attach to the farmer Of Sherman
country IS, that he likes his home out
here in western Kansas better than
any home he has had before He
doesn't want to 90 back TO live in the
east from where he came The old
ties have lost their hold This is true
with Q. p. Faline, who with his fami-
" returned Tuesday from a two
months stay with Mr. Faline's par
ents on q Illinois farm.
Charles parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J.
NJ Faline, live on a farm in Henry
county, Illinois. Charlie came from
Henry county to Sherman and accord
ing to his feeling about it, he has
never had a hankering to return to
Henry county, where this season. he
says, it has been hotter than hades,
dryer than western Kansas, and where
the oats headed out on a six-inch
stalk
He says that Sherman county is
good enough for him. No wonder
that the story should be true about
the Kansas man in heaven being dis
cOntented and pining all the while to
90 back to Kansas.

The returns on the number Of
horses and cattle owned are always
OF interest, as indicating the agricul-
tural conditions In the case Of the
Sixth district, the returns show that
the number OF horses owned in the
district has increased from 1870 to
1T6, ,O4S, while the number Of cattle
has decreased from 6SO,3S4 to 61S,-
1S3- The decrease in the number Of
cattle may indicate that the tendency
OF the northwestern counties is now
toward agriculture rather than stock
raising The comparative figures for
1905 and 1906 show that the decrease
has been general throughout the dis
trict, but rather heavier in proportion
in the western counties The 1906 re-
turns show that the number OF horses
and cattle on hand is as follows:
