bones almost covered the prairie. Kill

hunters, who made $25 a day, or %
cents for every buffalo they killed. He
remembers when the bones sold for Sc

became scarce, s16 and $40 ton was
paid. In those pioneer days the bones
were hauled to McCook, Neb., so miles
away and to Grinnell and Grainfield,

WHEAT PROSPECTS BEST EVER.
Easton Farmer Says Hard Luck
Stories Are Untrue,

Leavenworth. Kan, Oct. 20.-'I

wheat conditions this fall says B. B.
Moore, a land owner from Easton.
THE stories about the replanting, the
Hessian fly and numerous other pests
are untrue in Leavenworth county.
Never have the farmers had better
prospects for this time of the year.
''All the wheat has been planted in
this county. The farmers had per-
feet weather to do their work and the
seed was put in the ground right. 1
am of the opinion that that is the main
reason of the good prospects.
1.-The hard luck stories that are
heard every year about the different
crops are not to be believed. Last
spring the apple crop was reported to
be total failure. In July everybody
was crying that there would be no
corn this fall. There is only one crop
that did not come up to the standard
average in Leavenworth county and
that was the potato crop. It will aver

"It is feared that the wheat will

APPLES ROT ON GROUND.
Thousands of Bushels Going to Waste
Near Hutchinson.


Hutchinson, Kan, Oct. 20.-Hun-
dreds of bushels of the finest apples
ever seen are rotting on the ground
of orchards around Hutchinson, be-
cause the farmers are too busy to take
care of them.
At the big farm of L. F. Lands,
twenty miles southeast of Hutchinson
the ground in this big orchard is so
thickly strewn with apples that it is
impossible to walk through without
trampling under foot fine apples 60

The trees are bending low heavily

the hogs into the orchard to eat their
fill OF the fallen fruit, but even they
cannot dispose of the hundreds of
bushels of apples on the ground.
The same thing j. true at hundreds
of other orchards in the vicinity of
Hutchinson. The buyers are taking
only the choicest fruit, that which will
keep the best in cold storage. At or

work, although the fruit looks almost

Kansas City market Tuesday. This is
the largest number Of cattle to be
shipped from Bazaar in single day

car loads shipped from that section
during the last two weeks.
Stockmen say this is tho last big
shipment that will be made from the
grazing district around Bazaar and

TOOK ROUGH ON RATS.
Tom Wheeler Tried to Commit Suicide
But Didn't Succeed.


Horton, Kan, Oct 20-Tom
Wheeler, a young man who has rooms
with his wife over Jordan's bakery,
took half a box of rough on rats in
an effort to end his life. DR.. Harker
was called, but Wheeler refused to let
him do anything for him, saying that
he wanted to die. Finally the doctor
brought in Marshal Jackson and Con-
stable Wilkinson, and between them
they convinced him that the doctor
was going to use every effort to save
his life, whether he wanted to die or
not.
Wheeler took such big dose of the
rough on rats, which is in the nature
of arsenic poisoning. that it probably
saved his life. The dose was so strong
it forced him to vomit and part of the
stuff was thrown up. However, he got
a sufficient dose to make him think
that he was going to die, and also to
give the doctor plenty of work to pull
him through.
1t is understood that he had some
sort of trouble or quarrel with his wife
and in fit of dependency tried to end
things It is said Wheeler has been
working on a farm most of his life
prior to coming to Horton.

BARRIERS WON'T SHAVE HIM.
Therefore, Halstead Man Brings Suit
Against Them.

Newton, Kan, Oct. 20.-Attorney
Foster of Halstead filed damage suit
in district court this morning wherein
one E. F. Bohn sues A T. Mount and
George Mace, BARRIERS of Halstead for
$500. Bohn alleges that Messrs.
Mount and Mace refuse to allow him
to have barber work done in their
shops and that he is compelled to go
to other towns to have his work done.
He also claims that he cannot do his
own barber work in a satisfactory
manner. He alleges by their unjust
discrimination, that he has been dam
aged $500 and would like to have the
court afford him relief
Mr.. Bohn says he knows of no
reason why he should not have his
work done in Halstead shops as he
owes them nothing and conducts him
self as a gentleman.

John Swartz Was an Old Soldier and
Lived at Hartford.

Hartford, Kan, Oct. 20.-John
Swartz an old soldier of near Hart
ford, attended the fair here last Fri
day, eating at the fair grounds dining
hall. About 10 o'clock that night,
after he had returned home, he was
taken sick and troubled with cramps.
Relatives wanted to call a doctor,
but he would not consent until about 4
O'Clock. When the doctor arrived it
was too late, he dying a short time
after.
Quite number of people here have
been sick since eating at the hall Fri
day. and it is supposed that the faint
ed meat was the cause of it all.
No complaint has yet been fled here
with TIE county physician and it
would be hard now to tell the exact
cause without a sample of the meat.
Such matters should be looked into,
as many lives are lost each year from
tainted meats and neglect.
