ed; and we are told that we shall
have both seed tine and harvest
as long as time lasts and the
promise is to the faithful and
dilligent.
So, brother farmer, DO not be-
come discouraged but toll on
faithfully to the end, and then
you will see that it is ali for the
best to them who love the Lord.
Let all of your planting over be
of food crops and nurse every
stalk of cotton closely, and you
can get more money out of the
8or 10 bale crop than you would
have gotten out of Is or 1G
bales that you intended to make.
Let him that will take heed from
this Renaissance and profit
thereby, and remember that the
world can get along without new
cotton better than we can get
along without corn, and that If
We have plenty of corn we can
not be starved out at all and we
have good women enough. to go
down in the rag pile and hunt up
patches for old clothes.

Not So Bad Blu. That 1t
Might Have Been Worse.

Sothought and said I last Fri
day after having ridden several
miles across The country devas-
tated by the great rains Of We'd
neSday, and alter hearing the
common expression of men when
anything uncommon happens:
The worst | ever saw, But |
begun to take a reminiscent view
OF my experience as a farmer,
and / glanced back to 1855, when
a ram, haii and wind storm swept
over the Wiioie of North Missis-
slppi On the 18th day OF May and
cut the cotton TO stubs, tore the
corn TO shreGa, blew the wheat
down and hcaC 1t into the ground
and it was followed by many
overfows in June. Also epidem-
les of typhoidand malarial fever
broke out and fully one-half of
the labor of the country was
stricken down, and yet we made
a most bountltul harvest.
Again IN 1857 we had a flood
on the 18th OF May that has new
er been equaled by any since,
and the old high water mark, l
reckon, still hangs hlgil aboveall
others at several different places
in Lee and ItawamDa counties,
and that was followed by much
rain in June and several over
flows, and we again had good
crops. Again in 1858 we had a
wet, cold spring and snow OF 4
inches deep on the 2Otn Of May,
which killed everything, the
weather continuing wet till the
middle Of June, anu then we had
fairly good crops. Again in 1869
we had excessive wet weather,
with many overfows and | plan
ted cotton over times in Ukala
/ bottom and made a good crop.
| skip a good number OF years
III my "reminiscences to get up
within the memory of some of
the younger persons. On the
2l.n oI JaI., .-34, we had the
longesJ anu most general rainfall
at all which washed the crops
down and buried much OF the
cotton and corn, and all crops in
the bottoms were thought to be
ruined, yet we made a very good
crop. | skip again to 1887 and
to 1892 inclusive, a series of wet
years, and we have always had
crop enough to get through. in
our reminiscent career down to
1903, when we had another wet
year, the whole country being
covered with grass and weeds
higher than a horse the 18th Of
June. We then skip over to
1905, and we come to Washouts,
bloWups, grass and winds, and
we find that the faithful worker
was amply rewarded and none
but those who were unfaithful
and respondent went unreward.

NOTES FROM THE LEGISLATURE.

Whether the tariff ought to be re-
formed in several particulars was the
question which occupied the attention
of the senate during all of its session
yesterday afternoon. Senator Smiths
resolution memorializing the Kansas
delegation in congress to work to have
the tariff cut off on lumber, steel and
steel products, and also requesting them
to work for the passage of a bill per-
hitting the president to engage in re-
ciprocity treaties was down for consid-
GRAFTON as a special order. Senator
Hodges resolution relating to the TAX
ing of the tariff off on lumber was also
down for consideration. Senator Noftz-
ger led the fight on the resolutions. He
thought it was impudent for the Kan
sas legislature to attempt to tell con-
gress what it ought to do. Senators
Smith. Porter of Montgomery HODGES.
Gilbert and Getty spoke in favor of the
resolution, while Senators Caldwell,
Noftzger, Griffin and Fitzpatrick oppos-
ed their passage. After an hour and
half's debate the resolutions Were pass

against them. as follows: Belts, Bus

patrick, Fulton. Griffin, Harrison, Has

A meeting of the senate railroad COM
mittee will be held tonight for the pur-
pose of considering four of the import
ant measures pending before it. These
are Senator Smiths bill, which he says
strengthens the present railroad law
by stripping from the board of railroad
commissioners such judicial power as
has been given them; Senator Smiths
bill compelling railroads to pay double
the value of any coal or property II
may conflscate; Senator Noftzger's
Kansas City, Kan, terminal facilities
bill and Senator Noftzger's bill. pro-
hibiting, railroads from making any
special agreement with any person for
either freight or passenger rates.
Senator F. Dumont Smith has made a
statement in reply to the insinuation of
J. L. Bristow that Smith probably had
a joker in some of his railroad bills.
Bristow intimated that there might
possibly be a bug under some of the
chips which Smith had scattered about
the legislative wood yard. In reply
Sena tor Smith said: Mr.. Bristows is
undoubtedly an expert on chips with
bugs under them. One day while he
was fourth assistant postmaster gen
eral the president happened to turn over

many hours.
But for the engineer there would
probably have been a great loss of
life. The train was running at a high
rate Of speed when he saw light in
the distance. He attempted to stop,
but it was too late. He and his fire.
man saved themselves by jumping.
This Is the fourth wreck in the vicin-

QUEST OF HEALTH
PROVES IN VAIN
Arthur r. Wheeler, Of Louisville, Ken
lucky, Dies at Home OF His
Brother in Santa Fe.

Arthur r. Wheeler, of Louisville
Kentucky, died at 10 O'Clock this
morning in this city at the home Of his
brother, Edgar l.. Wheeler, on Canon
road. His demise resulted from tu
berculosis, with which he haa been a
sufferer for some time.
The deceased came here in search
of health only eight days ago, too late
for climatic benefit, and continued to
decline. When his health broke down
a year or SO ago he went to Dallas,
Texas, but as he gradually failed in
stead of improving, he returned tc
Louisville and thence came to Santa
Fe. He was twenty years of age and
married, leaving young wife to
mourn his loss besides other members
of the family
The remains will be forwarded for
interment at Louisville.
