A Little Sketch for oldtim.r..

Many of the oldtimers of this and
Stevens county will remember Mrs.
Sam Wood, whose husband was kill
ed during the county seat troubles Of
Stevens county. A writer in the To-
peka Capital tells this under the
heading Of Mrs. Wood, Pioneer:
One of the most interesting pion-
eer women in Kansas has been WIS.,
itor for the past few days in Topeka.
She is Mrs. Margaret L. Wood, of
Cottonwood Falls, widow OF the late
Col Sam Wood, famous early-day
soldier, politician and editor, whose
tempestuous public career ended
with his death in western Kansas
county seat fight in 1891.
Mrs. Wood, who is nearly eighty
seven years old, is the only living
Kansas woman who was in Lawrence
during the Wakarusa war and the
border ruffian days. Her early life
was spent in Ohio, where, as girl,
she taught school for So a month,
and felt that she was well paid.
When she was nineteen she married
Sam Wood, and at twenty-four, with
him and their three little children,
came to Kansas, settling at Law
renee before the town was founded.
She recalls wildly the hardships and
many of the stirring events of those
times and tells of them with keen
interest. In later Kansas affairs, al
so, she is well versed, and has count
ed among her intimate acquaintance
many Kansas notables. Among them
might be mentioned Col. Jim Lane,
d. Gov. Charles Robinson and Mrs. Rob-
inson, John Brown. Sen. Preston B
Plumb, Col. Henry Inman, Gov. S. j.
Crawford, John j. ingalls,, Sol Miller
and Col. Richard Hinton.
Mrs. Wood is still interested in the
things that are going on about her
and possesses much energy and cour'
age. Last winter she spent with hel
daughter in Idaho, and made the
long journey entirely alone. She de
lights in finding somebody who viii
discuss with her the topics Of the day
the war, politics, history or reli
gion. She is very found of goot
literature, and during her long, hard
working life, has found time once II
a while to do a little writing. Hel
only formal published work is hel
memorial to her husband, written the
year after his death. A few witty
satires and sketches-mostly on poll
tical subjects-she has contributed
from time to time to Kansas news
papers, and few times she has beer
moved to write verse.

Upon complaint of S. F. McCut-
cheon one G. H. Money was COM
PEELED to give bond to keep the
peace Monday. The trouble arose
when the young man began paying
attention to the daughter of the
plaintiff, and the plaintiff objected.
1t appears that the defendant had
made certain threats that caused the
complaint to be made. The daughter
will have the guidance of the juv-
emile court.

Speaking Of Reasoning"

We find in the anti suffragist propa-
sanda the oft-repeated claim that only
chivalry prompts men to vote for
equal suffrage: that men do not stop
to reason out whether the ballot, put
into the hands Of women, will. benefit
or hurt woman herself the state or the
country"
Strange, isn't it, how only the anti
sunragists reason? Have you no.
ticed their "reas oning"? If it were not
that so much of the material sent out
By ants as reasoning" is untrue in
basis Of fact, unreliable because of its
sophistry. and un-fathered by any
known or responsible person, it would
be worth space and consideration. Our
suffrage friends, and undecided citi-
gems who are looking for information,
should beware the anonymous stuff
put out by some Of the anti suffrage
bureaus as statistics" We have
found 1t false IN many particulars and
no one willing to vouch for it. We
are not surprised that responsible
members OF the anti suffrage organi-
cation are ashamed to be identified
with most of this propaganda.
The above-quoted nonsense is
specimen of the chatter that goes with
the false statistics and claims. For an
illustration. we would ask You, Mr..
Mrs. or Miss Reader, to call to mind
the most conservative. reliable, think
ing reasoning man you know. Now
isn't he in favor of the justice and wis
dom of giving woman the ballot and
asking her to do her part as a citizen
interested in public welfare? Are not
nearly all the men of the State and
nation who are famed for their broad.

frage?
Yet the ants tells us they do not
stop 10 reason" Oh, those reason

Crop and Price Prospects

In letter to the Maine Farmer DR..
e NJ. Twitchell writes in part as fol-
lows
Meeting an old friend in the city
a few days ago he begun at once to
tell me OF his visits to different
farms and what great promise there
was for big crops, saying-'Why it
locks as though there would be one
OF the biggest potato crops ever
known and that we can buy them next
winter for. well, l think they will sell
for thirty-f five cents a bushel.' How
happy we will all be, except the
poor fellow who grows them, said /.
we will get our potatoes for a song
and the man who took all the chances
Of drouth. disease. and possible low
price, why he can pocket the loss and
Just think what a glorious thing it is
TO be patriotic and feed the other
fellow. II ever a crime was COM
mitted against a class it was when
tho campaign was started to force, by
public opinion. the farmers to grow
more, and then refuse to give guar
antee sufficient TO protect against
loss. Every acre Of potatoes properly
grown, fortified. seeded. cultivated
and protected by frequent spraying
this year has cost the grower from
so TO Sl75. With the average yield
in good years in aIaine, two hundred
and twenty five bushels it is easy to

from severe friction next year will be
