IL has been many a long day since
Sumt'~ has had so great shock as
II did '.,is morning when the news was
received that Mr.. w. III. Ingram had
lost his life when the steamer Mon
roe, OF the Old Dominion line, was
wrecked off the coast Of Virgin Ia early
this morning. The news was so ter
rible that IL was discredited at first
and throughout the day his friends
and relatives hoped against hope that
later information would be received
that he was among those rescued.
There was no good news. however,
and as telegram after telegram was
received. In reply To those sent seeking
definite information. hope faded and
at this hour there seems to be no hope
that he escaped. for every message
was To- the effect that ne was not
among the survivors. There remains,
OF course. the bare possibility that he
was picked up by some boat that has
not yet reported. or that he may have
drifted ashore on the Virginia coast
and has been unable to get into com
munication with telegraph station to
send the news of his escape from
death. Mr.. Ingram left here Wednes-
day afternoon for New York on a bus
mess trip. expecting to be absent only
a week. His tragic and untimely end
has cast a gloom over the town and
all unite in sympathy for his wife and
other near relatives.
A despatch to the News and Cour-
Ter states that women prominent In
spartanburg society have organized a
Woman's Suffrage Society. The OBJ
ject OF the society is to fight for
votes for women. There were enough
ballots cast In the last primary to give
tho women "a ballot apiece and still
leave some over for hard working re-
porters. and II may be that the en-
rollment OF the women In the clubs
will help to swell the voting strength
OF the State without overworking the
patriotic citizens who have heretofore
done more than their duty on cleo
tion days.

FIND EGGS 40 YEARS OLD
Crock Full of the Hen Fruit Discov-
cred IN Ruins of Old House in
Cimarron Valley.

The foods in the Cimarron river
valley in Southwest Kansas uncovered
an old house that the oldest settlers
in that territory did not know ever
existed. Non the floor of the old stone
house was found crock full of eggs
which to all appearances were perfect
-Iy preserved after being under ground
at least more than forty years.
The story of the unearthing of this
old stone house. indicating settle
ment in Southwest Kansas years be-
fore anyone Of the present old timers
knew of it, was reported by W. c. Mil
lar, a ranchman Of Kiowa county, who
recently made a trip into Morton
county.
The Cimarron river this spring, in
a sudden freshet washed away the
ranch building at the old Beatty
ranch, at Point Rocks, in southern
Morton county The garden adjoining
was also washed out by the flood, the
river current making a deep cut there,
and excavated the stone walls of an
old house.
In the house, when uncovered, were
found a good many household utensils
and a crock containing eggs. The
eggs had been Theoretically sealed IN
der many feet of sand and shaIe. They
seemed to be just as good as ever.
Mr. Millar owns a big ranch near
Belvidere, in southern Kiowa county.
He formerly owned a place in north
ern Barber county, between Sun City
and Lake City, and it was on his land
that the famous Indian council of 1867
was held at which the treaty with the
Indians was made by General Miles.
Mr.. MiIlar has photographs taken
at the council, which was attended by
many prominent newspaper correspon-
dents of those days. One OF the lat
ter was Henry NJ. Stanley, later IA
nous as an explorer.
The photographs showed the cor
respondents all wore tall silk tile
hats" said Mr.. Millar. That proved
that the silk hat came into that cOun-
try before the cowboy. The cowboys
used to resent the silk tiles, but can
prove the tiles were there first. The
cowboys didn't come in until later on. -

MAY SELL TO EAST
Secretary MOhIer Has Plan TO
Dispose of Surplus Kan
sas Crops.
OHIO VALLEY SHORT OF FEED
Agents for Buyer and Seller,
the Scheme.

Killing three birds with one stone is
the latest plan formulated by ]. c.
MOhler, secretary Of the state board of
agriculture His plan involves find
ing a market for the Kansas farmers
grain. providing the farmers of east
ern states hit by drouth with feed and
serving both without the middleman's
profit
Simmered down, Mohler hopes to act
as the agent of both parties, and that
without charging either commission.
Here is the situation Where a year
ago Kansas was short of grain for
winter feeding, this year she has
plenty. Where last year Illinois, In
diana, Ohio, Kentucky and parts of
Missouri had plenty of grain, this year
they have a shortage. Kansas is fac
ing selling on a falling market. The
eastern states face a grain shortage.
The Kansas secretary is going to
send out bulletin to the farmers of
this state, asking them to list how
much feed they have to sell. By check
ing up with similar lists from the
eastern states, the buyers and sellers
terms satisfactory to both. The Kan
sas farmer should sell for a little more
than the dealer could give him. The
eastern farmer should be able to buy
for less than the dealer would have to
charge him.
Kansas people haven't heard much
about any dry weather in Illinois, In
diana, Ohio, Kentucky and parts of
Missouri and Arkansas said Mohler-
But 1 am beginning to hear about it
and the letters l am receiving from
farmers in these states indicate that
the dry weather there has been just as
severe as it was in Kansas last year
and the crops are just as short.
The letters l am receiving ask me
to put these eastern farmers in touch
with Kansas farmers who will have a
surplus of corn and oats, alfalfa hay
and some are inquiring about baling
kafir and cane and shipping it to the
eastern states for stock feed. Several
Of the letters said that there was little
or no chance of a crop of feed. much
less d crop of grain.
I am going to send out a bulletin
shortly to the farmers generally ask
ing for reports on their surplus grain
and feed so that 1 can prepare a list
of Kansas farmers with stuff to sell
and send it to inquirers in the dry
states
