ANOTHER WHITMER.

A correspondent writing from Rich

yses us that on Washington's birth
day This year great-great- grandson
of David WhItmer was born The moth

spondent, Mr.. Geo. w, Schwelch. says
into the world on a day Of such historic
interest in very significant to him. We
trust the little great great grandson OF
David Whitmer. who has become
known all over the world as Wit
ness to the truth OF the Book OF Nor
mon, will grow up and become as faith
full in everything as WAS his noble an
cesior In his testimony 10 the
truth OF the sacred volume. For
though the latter parted company with
the Prophet OF the Lord, he never de-
MED the reality Of the visions he had
had. although he might, in all probable
ity. have made Il fortune by telling a
falsehood about his early con-
necuon with the Church. The
very darkness and spiritual blind
ness that same over him in the
later years OF his life make him
one of the most important witnesses
for the truth, May his little great
great grandson In due time see the light
which his honored ancestor was called
upon to testify 10. and may he be ever

"Rone Ago. ON the Prniries.

The pioneers of Kansas will never
forget the buffalo bone age" When
Central and Southwestern Kansas
were settled the prairie was strewn
with buffalo bones. Those we're hard
times in Kansas, and the gathering
of these bones enabled the early set
tiers TO live while they were getting
claims broken II for the producing
of crops.
Nine-tenths of the pioneers of that
section of Kansas-and there weren't
very many at that-had literally
nothing but a team and a few house,
hold goods that they had hauled from
the east in a single wagon. OF course.
there were no buffalo, for this was in
the late seventies, but their bones
strewed the plains, and these bones
were the only thing that had a com
mercial value, and they were utilized.
They were hauled in great wagon
loads to the nearest railway-often
from sixty to one hundred miles away
and sold.
The horns were the more valuable.
and they went first, but the rest Of
the skeleton soon followed. There
were no fortunes made by these early
bone hunters, for a large load of buff
falo bones brought only from IS to.
SIS at the railroad towns, but the
proceeds from a load enabled the set
tier to buy a little flour, coffee and
occasionally meat and lumber.-Kan-
