Many persons about town will remember that Mr. Fgan was very willing to give Harry Ben sou all the credit for that infamous order at the time of its passage by the Hoard, but when he trot down to Topeka. hisoverweering thirst for no- teriety induced him to modify the story BDd say that he secured the order from the county commissioners, And uofc ccntent with entering into a conspiracy to involve Cheyenne county in a costly lawsuit, and of improving every opportunity to give trie county a black eye, be goes down to Topeka and has himself interview- ed by a State paper to say tht "Crop conditions are verv eloorav" and -he thinks that much of that country will he up to the cattlemen." 1 nts last, statement is as false as die first.

Hanaro mom This Greeting May Come: Whkbeas; We are juHt closing a most successful session of Institute work, aud Whereas; We fully appreciate the beneficent efforts made in behalf of the teachers of our county by tbe Co. Faculty, and the citizens of St Francis, aud Whereas; We as teachers believe that we have derived great educational aud social advantages therefrom, therefore, be it Resolved! That we extend our sincere thanks to Sup't. Curry whose pereistent efforts have contributed so largely to our advancement. To Prof. Harnly for his interest in our welfare and his thorough energetic WvrlfVrt nr elftsHOK.

May Phillips, Winnie Lockard, Com. Nelle Campbell, "The Richest Culwe In America" has story most interestingly set forth by wora anu picture In the September number uemokkst's Magazine. It will be a distinct surprise to know that this title is not due any of our best known colleges in is neiu oy one which is doing a great work in a quiet way.

F. Campbell, we visited the splendid home of William Mc-Callum two miles west of town to see for onrseives the result of his experiments with the Campbell system of soil culture, and to state that ve were astonished at what we saw is putting it very mildly. In the orchard, which is on a point 180 feet above the river, where Mr. McCallum has applied the theory during the past two years the soil is thoroughly wet to a depth of 16 feet, aud there is no way of determining how much more, while the trees show a marvelous growth aud generous loads of fruit, That the extraoidiuary amount ef moisture in 1 bis orchard is due to Mr. McCallum's thorough system of cultivation, is proven by the fact that in a stubble field just across the road, and on lower ground, we found the noil as hard as the road aud as dry as a at a deptn of less than 2 feet.

In the fields cultivated by the Camp heil system this year Mr McCallum has met, with flattering success aud he confidently looks for great results on those lauds next, year. What, Mr. McCalJnm has accom pushed can be accomplished by any tuer in au.v other part, of the county, and that without, any machinery. All that is required is thorough surface culttvHtv'u wHh a harrow to prevent ci listing aud evaporation. It is gratifying to note that many farmers, iy.

diS'eitn; parts of the coun have begun applying this princi ple to" their farming operations begau agitating this fact more than two years ago and if our farmers had paid, attention better results would certainly have been attained. We have the promise of some val uable communications from represeu- stive farmers of the county which will appear print irotn time to tne. When our farmers apply sound philosophy to their farming operations and cultivate smaller areas the crop question and Cheyeuue county's future will be solved. CONSUMPTION CURED. T.

Attorney Egan of Chey SutTefCouhty Bays that crop oouditions tout'Ehere are very gloomy, owing to the prevalence of grasshoppers. He thinks that much of that country will be given up, to, the cattlemen and that eondjtiona are such that a very aatisfatory profit can be made in that line." "Out in Cheyenne county, County Attorney Egan has secured an order from the County Commissioners whereby the delinquent tax list will act be published. The St. Francis Eagle, which is the official paper, has brought a mandamus suit in the supreme court to compel the county authorities to publish the list. Egan contends that the pablcation is unnecessary and therefore burdensome and useless expense imposed on ih" taxpayers.

The court will pass un the matter at as early a date as possible." Thb foregoing articles clipped from I the Topeka Advocate of Aug. 11 1 in ita an People: Do you believe tnat it rains in Kansas. Believe or not. They are selling goods at fhe Corner Store as cheap as ever. Wants Your Butter.
