TRAVELLING MANS IMPRESSION.
Says There Is Nothing ON Earth the
Matter With Wheat.

Lawrence. Kan, March 10.-In
these days of constant depressing talk
about the high cost of living and the
many rumors heard about the wheat
being ruined, it sounds good to hear
a real optinist talk and one who
knows what he is talking about. Bert
Brown. g we'll known travelling man,
said this morning:
There is nothing earth the mat
ter with the wheat. All this talk about
all kinds of bugs. the chinch bug and
all that, is rot. for the wheat hasn't
been affected. I have been in at least
3 dozen fields myself and pulled up
the wheat to see if it were affected at
all, but it isn't The wheat is all right
and these stories don't amount to a
thing"
Certainly that is good news and as
Mr.. Brown travels almost constantly
he should know whereof he speaks.
The wheat is all right and that means
much, it means a great deal for Kan
Sas.

THE FARMERS RIG PROFIT.
Got 500 for Two Hogs-Record Price
in Kansas for Butchering.

Horton, Kan. March 1O.-The Hor-
ton Commercial tells of Kansas farm
er who sold two hogs to the butcher
for an even 500, what was once con-
sidered a fair price for an average
team of horses. The hogs in question
weighed a fraction over 1882 pounds,
or an average of GAL pounds each. The
butcher paid $3.50 hundred for them,
SO that the farmer received a check
for 500. This is, perhaps, the high
est price ever paid in Kansas for two
hogs for butchering purposes. Fine
pedigreed stuff may have brought
more for breeding purposes, but the
two hogs in question were sold for
meat and not for breeding. The two
hogs were brood sows, of the Red
Duroc breed and were four years old.
The farmer who owned them had
raised six litters of pigs from each of
them before he had taken them to the
market, two filters each for three
years. Some idea of the profit in hog
raising can be had from the experience
of this Kansas farmer A good aver
age horse will not bring more than
500 today, ard it has not been many
years since a team could be purchased
for that sum. In line with this hog
story is the report of a carload of steers
sold on the Chicago market for more
than $3.50 a nead.

HIGHWAY RoBBER IN DRESDEN.
Decatur County Boasts of Champion
Corn HuSker.

Dresden, Kan. March 10.-A high
way robber in Dresden succeeded in
getting from mis- victim 80 cents in
cash, a 25 cent bottle of quinine and

few years in the penitentiary
Decatur county comes to the front
with champion corn husker. His
name is Bert Vernon, and he lives in
Ramona. He claims that he averaged
log bushels of corn Gay for six days.
Sheridan County has been claiming the
championship for a number of years,
but the medal will have to go to the
Decatur county corn shucker.
The Oberlin Times throws this pretty
bouquet at one of Decatur county s
citizens: "Our long time friend, c. A.
Mccartney, was in our city last week.
Carlisle is an old timer in Decatur
county and stood by the guns when the
chinch bug, grasshopper and drouth
were invading the county. He is a
hustler at anything he undertakes, and
the best thing that can be said of man
can be said OF him. He is always loyal
and true, as a friend at all times and
under all circumstances"

Kinsley, Kan, March 10.-The ex-
ecutive and publicity committees of the
new Santa Fe Trail association are in
session here. Each committee is fully
represented and the members are en-
thusiastic.
President Faxon's address showed
that the work of the trail association
is attracting widespread attention and
that the work is being pushed in the
counties traversed by the trail. Re
ports showing what has already been
accomplished and what is planned for
the future were made. In many cases
1t was reported the people living along
the trail are doing the road building
at their own expense.
After luncheon the visitors were
taken in motors over the famous sand
hills hard roads built of gypsum clay
and sand at an expense of only $500
mile. These roads have been in use
about eighteen years and are main
tanned at very little cost. They are as
hard and smooth as Kansas City boule-
wards. After inspecting these roads
the members met again at the theater
and listened to Mr.. Gearhart, the state

TO AvENGE ATTEMPTED ASSAULT
High School Students Join Sheriff's
Posse to Find Negro.


Kansas City. Kan, March 10.-De-
termined to avenge an attempted as
sault made on Miss Cora Downs, II
years old, by an unidentified negro
yesterday in Kansas City, Kansas, fifty
high school students. classmates of the
girl, joined sheriff's posse in a search
for the fugitive last night. Many of
the students are armed. They declare
they will deal summarily with the
negro if he is caught. Miss Downs is
a member of 4 prominent family. Her
grandmother is Mrs. Cora M. Stockton,
a noted Kansas writer, who assisted
Mrs. Potter Palmer in conducting the
women's department at the Chicago
Worlds fair in 1896. Mrs. Stockton is
seriously i'll at a hospital and it is
thought the shock caused by hearing
of her grandchild's experience may
prove fatal.
Miss Downs was returning home
from school through a cut recently
when she was attacked. The negro
threw her to the ground and tore her
clothing. She screamed, frightening
him away before he had injured her.
He dropped his overcoat which may
prove a clue to his identity.
Miss Downs gave the alarm and a
band of citizens soon began searching
for the assailant. A negro was cap
tured and brought before Miss Downs.
She could not identify him, so he was
released. Rewards are offered for the
aSSailant'S arrest.
