C. II. Bland Has Narrow Escape
From Burning House.

The residence of Mr.. c. H. Bland,
at Mayesville. was completely de-
stroyed by fire about 4:30 o'clock
Monday morning. When the fire was
discovered it had made such head
way that Mr.. Bland, who was in
the house alone, was forced to make
his escape by climbing down the
lightning rod. The origin Of the fire
is unknown. All {. the family eX-
cept Mr.. Bland were away and there
had been no fire in the house. There
is some suspicion that it was Of in
cendiary origin.

AID Astra Per Aspera

In this August number OF
The Kansas Magazine is publish
ed an unusual amount of fiction,
! The old saw, Truth is stranger
than fiction" would indeed be
verified if this issue contained
a narrative describing the ev-
olution of the Kansas dugOut of
yesterday to the Kansas mansion
Of today. Upon Kansas farms
in this year of our Lord, 1909,
can be found more residences
costing $4,000 to build than there
are dugOuts and shanties.
The story of this development
is more remarkable than the Wild
est fiction and it would arouse
distrust IN the minds of those
not familiar with the changing
conditions of our state during
the past twenty years. Where
once lived the farmer, struggling
against the eight per cent mort
gege on his ten-dOllar an acre
farm, Lis cattle and horses chat
tells of the local banker, that
he might raise cash for inter
est and taxes; now dwells the
fifty dollars an acre, free from
same producer, his land worth
fifty dollars an acre, free from
circumference, and money in the
bank with which to purchase his
neighbours land if the latter
will sell. 1t is a real "Count
of Monte Christie" tale with a
count on nearly every section.
The Kansas mott, ~ Astra
Per ASpera, may be rendered
freely and have an ever present
application. Not only did our
b loved commonwealth gain mem
