In the newspapers there is
mention of a hen out in Kansas
that is raising a brood of p
chickens. There are corn fields
in any of a dozen Western and
Middle Western states where
the stalks are twice a mans
height. Grass cattle
has made the best crop the West
has ever known. The mind
reverts with beaming satisfac-
ton to such facts when Wall
street sends out it's warn
ing notes and wonders that the
West refuses to become doleful.
The TWENTY-FIVE chicks of that
industrious Kansas hen are of
actually more significance to the
country than the drop in val
ues" which Wall street every
few days regrets to report. -
It is the vast volume of actual
values which the cheerful bid
dy" the monumental cornstalk
and the blooming alfalfa epitom-
ize that takes the conjuror' pow
er from the wizards" of dis
NAL prophecy. The public simply
cannot become narrowed up over
the loss of water suffered by
inflated bond holders when there
are such visible stores of fat
products of the earth adding to
the real wealth of the people.
1t is to be true, as Mr.. Roose-
velt-with much historical pre-
cedent to support him believes,
that privileged interests will
conspire to depress financial
conditions in order to head off
the Square Deal, why then, so
much for Wall street. With corn
ripening to the promise of 5000
million bushels, with a robust
average wheat crop already har-
vested, with a cotton crop in the
Southwest and with the Kansas
paternal hen clucking the tune of
millions of her tribe, why, the
country may magnanimously
feel a touch of sympathy for the
plungers whose stocks are
shrinking, but that is about as
far as it can go. For itself, it
laughs in unison, these fine sum-
mer days, with the good gigan-
tic smile of the brown old earth. -

Ode to the Kansas Queen.

We have heard of Maud on a
summer day, who raked, bare
foot, the new mown hay, we
have read of the. maid in the ear
ly morn, who MIXED the COW
with the crumpled horn; and
we've read the lays the poets
sing of the rustling corn and the
flowers of spring but of all the
lays of tongue or pen, there's
naught like the lay of the Kan
sas hen.
Long>long before Maud rakes
her hay the Kansas hen had be-
gun to lay, and ere the milkmaid
stirs a peg, the hen is up and has
dropped her egg. The corn must
rustic and the flowers spring If
they hold their own with the
barnyard ring.
If Maud is needing hat or
gown, she doesn't hustle her hay
to town, but goes to the store
and obtains her suit with a baSk-
ct of her fresh fruit. If the milk
maids beau makes a Sunday call
shedoesn't feed him. milk at all but
works up eggs in a custard pie,
and stuffs him full of chicken fry
When the old man wants a
horn does he take the druggist a
load of corn? Not much. He sim
ply robs a nest and to town he
goes you know the rest. He

A prominent business man in
Hays told us this week that he
saw more advertising in a certain
paper published at a town in the
extreme western part of the
state, having a population of
about 200 than there was in the

to tell this on our local merchants
but some of them are wOefully
behind the times on up-tO-date
methods of advertising, and I'M
less they get move on" some

and the man who could succeed
yesterday without advertising
his business will find tomorrow
that he cannot even retain his

his light under a bushel." 1t

An exchange gives the follow
ing Indian legion about the orr
gin of the different races: Ac-
cording to the old, old story, as
it is told around the camp fires
by the old Indians, the Creator
made three men, all of fair skin.
He took them to a lake, and told
them to jump in. The first plung
ed in and came out white. The
second hesitated and came out
red. The third was reluctant to
enter the water which became
muddy, and when he came out
he was black. Then the Great
Spirit led them to three bundles
and told them to choose. The
dark man picked up the heaviest
bundle and it contained spades,
shovelS and other instruments of
manual labor; the second found
in his bag a fishing rod, gun
and warlike weapons, and the
white man choose the bag which
contained paper and ink, and
this, so the legend goes, laid the
foundation for his superiority
over the other two races, which
he has continued to exercise
ever since. r
Occasional headache, belching,
bad taste in the mouth, lack of
appetite and slight nervousness
are symptoms of indigestion
which, when allowed to go uncar-
ed for, will develop into a case
of dyspepsia that will take a long
time to get rid of. Don't neglect
your stomach. At the first indi-
cation of trouble take something
that will help it along il it's work

POTOSI.

The Addie mill was started Monday,
for an experimental run on Potosi ore.
It works nicely, everything starting off
all right. The ore goes through the
battery at the rate of one ton per hour,
with 40 mesh screens, and with scarcely
any shines, saving a considerable per-
centage of gold on the amalgamating
plates, but the saving in the pans has
not been considered satisfactory, and
cotter table has been placed below the
pans, which is doing fine work. demon
strating that with frue vanners, preced-
ing and cotters following the pans,
very close saving of values can be made.
Five hundred to six hundred tons will
be reduced in this experimental run,
100 tons of which is now at the mill,
and more being delivered. Battery
samples of this ore taken at the mill
show an average value Of $500 per ton.
Stopping was begun in the south drift
No. 2 level of the mine yesterday, where
the vein is five feet wide, and the first
round of holes knocked down fully
twelve tons of ore which will show con-
siderably higher values than that now
being put through the mill.
No. 2 level south, now in 40 feet is
still being driven further, the vein con-
tinuing in width and value.
Preparations are now being made for
sinking the shaft an additional hundred
feet, when drifts will be started both
north and south. The drift on No. .
north, while looking most favorably,
has been discontinued, because being
under the bed of the creek, it is feared
that an inflow of water might be en-
countered This will not be feared on
a deeper level

in it in which there are chunks of quartz
with gold visible in them. They are
now nearing a point where, near the
surface, in early days, very rich ore was

They are in addition to driving North,

The Dewey Hotel, at Dewey.
Burned.

Wednesday, at one o'clock p. m. men
in the Trade Dollar mill discovered fire
in the rear portion of the Dewey hotel.
An alarm at once was given and the
men at the mill and up at the mine
called to save the building. The hotel
had what was supposed to be an excel.
lent fire protection from tanks on a hill
northeast of the town. But when hose
was attached it was found that the pipes
were clogged and the water could not
be turned on with full force. Hose was
attached to fire plugs at the mill and
more hose taken down from Silvsr City
and put in play to save the row of
buildings across the street. When it
was found that the hotel must go the
men went to work to save as much of
its contents as possible, with the result
that the greater portion of the furni-
ture, fixtures and supplies we're carried
out in a wrecked condition. With
plenty of assistance the pretty residence
of Mine Manager irwin, northwest Of the
hotel, was saved, and there fortunately
being no wind, the fire did not reach the
buildings across the street or the big
mill behind them. The little home on
higher ground, near the hotel occupied
by Accountant Givens, however, was
partially destroyed. The hotel was, in
less than an hour, pile of smolderiug
ruins.
The hotel was built about 10 years
ago by the late Col. w. H. Dewey and
belonged to his estate. 1t was the
largest aud best equipped hotel in Owy-
hee, was finely constructed three story
frame building, with a frontage of 60
feel, with broad verandas, with 60 foot
three story wing in the rear, the lower
floor OF which was occupied by the din
ing room and kitchen aud the upper
floor fitted up as fine theatre with
stage and scenery and the floor also
used as a dancing hall.
Mr.. Mark Colborn occupied the
building under lease. His loss is the
suspension of his business, his stock of
supplies and loss and damage of house
hold goods. Mr.. Givens little home was
badly wrecked, but enough OF it left so
that it may be restored.
Manager Irwin's picturesque home,
perched on the hillside, was only dam
aged by the glass being broken, the
paint blistered and the injury done to
household goods by hasty removal.
A score or more OF men and the fire.
hose from Silver City did great service
in saving and protecting property, fact
duly appreciated by the Dewey people.
AS there are several only partially oc-
cupied two story buildings across the
