Y. Urie seems 'to be having pretty hard luck with his fruit trees. During the hard wind storm of Tuesday evening a number of limbs on his peach trees were broken off and one of his fine pear trees was blown down. Then too, the wet weather has ruined about 400 of his cherry trees. Some of thesr trees were capable of producing from a bushel to a bushel and a half of cherries.

Mr. Urie says that the ground where these trees were set out was too level to drain well and that the water stood around the trees finally putting them out of business. Last week's Mail Breeze contained a cut of a bunch of steers owned by John Peterson which topped the Chicago market one day last week. Commenting on them the paper says: "The steers were raised by John Peterson, who owns several good farms in Osage county and ho is one of that county's most successful stockmen. The average weight of the bunch with which they were marketed was 2,200 pounds and they brought a premium price on a market that receives 40,000 and 50,000 cattle a day.

Like all other successful stockmen, Mr. Peterson follows his cattle with hogs." R. Cleveland, nig uihw weiu ueie uiu weeftjjui- ting in a new bridge west of town. Lost At the picnic grounds Monday an Indian beaded ladies belt. Reward for return toNeese's store.
