Made $4,000 in "a Years.

Amy-A real estate deal of more
than usual consequence came to
close last week, when Henry See, the
owner of large ranch in the eastern
part of Scott county, sold it to an
fastener for $4,000. The ranch con-
sists of 1850 acres.
Mr. Sea came to this section in 1886,
one of the earliest Of the pioneers.
He was a poor man with family and
worked by the day to support them
during the first few years. With good
management and hard work he stead
lily gained ground until he became the
owner of this large tract of land. Be
sides running his ranch has dealt eX-
tensively in horses and mules in late
years and done general farming. This
man, who twenty-four years ago had
practically nothing, is said by good
authority to be able to cash in now for
$4,000. His story is not altogether
unusual in western Kansas.

His Terrible Threat.

Aviation has improved considerably
since the time when Col Cleary, then
county commissioner and for years
well-known Chicagoan, made balloon
ascension at a county fair over in
Michigan, says the Chicago Journal.
AS the guest of honor the colonel
was sent upward with the assurance
that there was absolutely no danger.
But as the distance from the earth
grew greater the colonel leaned out
anxiously.
Pull me I'M" he shouted.
The men who were bailing out the
rope paid no heed to his demand.
Higher and higher went the balloon.
Wilder and wilder grew the colonel.
Finally, almost standing on his head
as he tried to keep precarious bal
ance, he gave final cry of exas-
perated panic:
pull me in, tell you, or I'll cut
the rope!"

HER WEIGHT INCREASED

Wonderful Praise Accorded
Perunathe Household Remedy

Mrs. Maria Goertz, Orienta, Okla
homa, writes:
"My husband, children and myself
have used your medicines, and we al
ways keep them in tn house in case OF
necessity. I was restored to health by
this medicine, and DIR. Hartman's in"
valuable advice and books. People ask
about me from different places, and are
surprised that can do all of my house,
work alone, and that I was cured by the
doctor Of chronic catarrh. My husband
was cured of asthma, my daughter OF
earache and catarrh of the stomach, and
nv son of catarrh of the throat. When
1 was sick 1 weighed 100 pounds; now I
weigh 40.
"Ihave regained my health again, and
I cannot thank you enough for your
advice. May God give you long life
and bless your work."

Wheat and Alfalfa.

Manhattan.-There IS great interest
all over the state concerning the ef-
feet of the heavy coating of ice, long
continued, on wheat and alfalfa. A. d
Blanchard of the firm OF Jolly &
Blanchard, grain merchants, Topeka,
and Prof. Ten Eyck, professor OF
Agronomy of the Kansas experimental
station here, have just made a careful
examination of wheat and alfalfa on
the Agricultural college farm here.
Mr.. Blanchard reports: CAS- far as we
are able to tell from our investigation
the wheat seems to be alive and all
o. X We examined the different
fields and various conditions of snow
and ice and in fact failed to find any
dead plants. Prof. Ten Eyck, however,
seems to think it is difficult to tell
vet what the real condition is as the
fields are all covered with snow and
Ice. The alfalfa plant, being stronger,
will stand more severe conditions than
wheat.

Walsh at Leavenworth.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the same
brave attitude that he has displayed
ever since his indictment, John R.
Walsh began his five-year sentence in
the federal prison here for misapply-
ing the funds of the Chicago National
bank Despite his long 7ight ride
from Chicago and the natural weak
ness which comes with his advanced
age-72 years-he gave no more sign
of worry or distress than ii he had
come here to transact business mat
ter. instead OF starting n prison term
He stepped briskly into the war1cn's
office upon his arrival. Throughout
the preliminaries which preceded his
Imprisonment proper he passed calm
", without a trace of nervousness or
undue excitement.

Santa Fe Penalties Enrich U. s.

The United States government has
S1.4OO extra money to be used toward
reducing this years prospective treas
ury deficit as the result of the action
of the Santa Fe railway in paying into
the United States district court this
amount. This money comprises pen
alties paid by the railway company
for violations OF the federal statute
which prohibits the confinement OF
live stock in cars for a longer period
than twenty-eight hours. Fourteen
suits against the Santa Fe, each alleg-
ing a single violation of this statute,
were on the docket for trial when the
present term of the United States dis
trict court opened at Kansas City. The
suits were civil actions brought TO
collect penalties. In each suit the
railway company attempted no de-
tense, but confessed judgment and an
nounced its willingness to pay any
fines assessed. Judge John c. Pollock,
thereupon ordered the company to pay
500 for each offense, making total
of 1,4O0.

KANSAS CLAIMS WHEAT KING.
James Fike Of Colby Harvested 10000
Acres of Grain Last Year.

Topeka.-Kansas now lays claim
to the wheat king of the world. His
name is James N. Fike of Colby, for
mer railroad commissioner and for
mer registrar of the land office for
northwestern Kansas under the last
Cleveland administration.
His vast operations in wheat pro-
duction during the past season can
perhaps be comprehended easier
through some figures. Here they are:
His wheat fields aggregated an area
of eight miles long and two miles wide.
This is equivalent to siXty-four
farms of 100 acres each, the average
size Kansas farm.
1t took ten car loads of wheat to
seed his fields.
He manufactured his own steam
plows with which to break the soil.
Each of these plows can turn fifty
acres day easily.
1t required $50 harvest hands a
month to gather the crop
Four threshing machines were kept
busy for a month threshing the crop.
1t required 12O freight cars of 1,OOO
bushels capacity each to move his
crop.
After gathering this crop Mr.. Fike
went the seasons record one better by
sowing 10000 acres of wheat for the
coming years harvest. This will give
him a wheat area this time ten miles
lopo and two mi1es wide.
When James N. Fike arrived In
Colby twenty-five years ago in COW
cred wagon, drown by two small po-
MES, and accompanied by his plucky
little wife and two small sons, it was
far from his ambition to be the fore
most wheat producer of the world
His sole aim at that time was to Sc
cure a homestead for his family and
to live a comfortable life.

FIELDS COVERED WITH
ICE ALONG COTTONWOOD
GREAT DAMAGE DONE TO CORN
AND FEED.
The Recent Flood Was the Heaviest
Ever Known in the Cotton
wood Valley In Mid
Winter.

Cottonwood Falls.-Never before in
the history of Chase county has the
Cottonwood valley received such a
flood in the middle of the winter as
came last week. The water in the
Cottonwood river rose higher than 1t
has been at any time in the past two
years and lacked only two and one
half or three feet of reaching the
record mark. The high water was due
to the two or three days thaw, fol-
lowed by the rain. At the time the
flood came the river was covered with
ice from four to eight inches thick.
This was broken up in huge cakes and
carried grinding and crashing down
the river. In some places where OBJ
structions occurred in the rivers
course this ice was piled up in great
masses crushing everything beneath
1t.
Many OF the farmers living in the
Cottonwood valley between here and
Saffordville suffered much damage.
Hay, alfalfa, Kaffir corn and all kinds
of feed in stacks have been under wa
ter while corn shocks by the hun
dreds have been carried away or piled
up on the drifts of ice. On John Bar
rett's farm and several other farms a
few miles below this town, there are
five and ten-acre tracts of the low
bottoms completely covered with
masses of ice. Pieces of ice have
been wedged and damned together in
every conceivable position and the
whole makes a good reproduction OF
the Ice fields of the Arctic regions.
There were several big drifts further
down the river that contained thous-
ands of tons of ice. 1t is said that
each drift would have filled every
ice house in the county several times
over. And in speaking of filling Ice
houses, this is just what some of the
farmers say they are going to do,
for the big ice cakes are clear and
of sufficient thickness. to be stored
and they can be had in any quantities
for the dragging away. Unless these
big ice piles are carried down the riv-
err by another deluge, it will, no doubt,
be several months before they are all
melted Timber on the river banks
has been broken and stripped so they
will bear marks of the flood for years
to come.

insomnia from which l suffered ter.

life a most painful thing for me.
II had been a coffee drinker since
childhood. and did not like to think

harm. But it was, and the time came
when l had to face the fact, and pro

was restored to normal efficiency, and
I began to sleep, restfully and peace

HaIts Gas Inquiry.

Topeka. Stubs has
abandoned his investigation Of the ma
tural gas supply. When Topeka and
other Kansas towns were crying for
more gas during the recent cold spell,
the governor appointed his confiden-
tial man, Milton Amrine, and Profess
sor Hoad of the University to investt-
gate the gas situation. He threaten
ed at that time to bring proceedings
to compel the natural gas company to
supply gas to Kansas towns first be-
fore sending any of it out of the state
The investigation went just far enough
to find that no relief could be afforded
this winter. Professor Hoad has
promised. to make an extensive lnves-
tigation this coming spring.
