NAL from the buggy, and finally be-
coming bruised and numb from the
cold water managed to get ashore and
left horse and buggy to their fate.

and lodged in a tree. and soon died.

POTTER CANNOT GROW LEGALLY
Kansas Town Occupies All of Origi-
nal TownSite.

AtchiSon, Kan, May Ibid you
ever hear of a town that wanted to
grow and couldn't? Atchison county
has such a town, and it is, perhaps,
the most thriving one of its size in
this section of the country. The town
is Potter, the principal point on the
Pollywog railroad between Atchison
and Leavenworth. The cause that
holds back it's growth is lack of land
in the townsite.
When Potter was laid out upon the
completion of the Pollywog railroad,
a branch of the Santa Fe, the holders
of the townsite never dreamed that its
growth would be so rapid, nor that
the present obstacle to its growth
would arise. But, years ago. Potter
found itself without town lots for those
who wished to build there and the
men who would like to see the town
grow into a city have never been able
to solve the problem thus presented.
Efforts have been made to buy land
from farmers whose farms adjoin the
town, but the price or the number of
acres the farmer insisted on selling, or
some other obstacle thus far blocked
the closing of a deal. Potter is stu
ated in one of the richest sections of
Kansas. and is one of the few towns
with less than 200 population that has
two prosperous banks. But for its dis
advantage it might have outstrfpped in
population many of the large towns of
Atchison county.

RUSSIAN THISTLE DROWNED.
Northwest Kansas Farmers Rejoice
Unsuccessful in Killing Pest.

Norcatur, Kan, May 14.-Farmers
are bringing in reports that the Rus
sian thistle, a weed that has troubled
the farmers of northwest Kansas to
a considerable extent. the past few
years. is dying since the wet weather
has set in the past ten days. Almost
every farm in this part Of the country
has been pestered with the nuisance
the past few years, and in spite of
hard work to rid the farm of the pest
it has spread in spite of the farmers
until they had given up all hope of
Kidding the fields of them. Now the
wet weather has taken hold and is
killing them out fast while everything
else is on the boom in the weed and
grain line. Farmers are rejoicing
over the loss of this crop, as we'll as
feeling good over the general good
prospects of wheat and corn crop,
which looks more prosperous than at
any time before in the history of the
country.

Doeden, farmer of Cheyenne town
