Enosdale Tews The abundant rains of late have put new life into the heople. Crops are doing nicely, making up for lost time. Some report early potatoes as large as a walnut. George Pauli went to Washington last Saturday and bought a fine buggy for his son Johnnie- That young lady friend will now look with a smiling eye and hopeful anticipation. Our good friend Jasper Henderson and family paid a visit last week to relatives at Ilollenberg and while there report the catching of a nice string of fish in the Blae.

The pastures and all small grain is growing beyond all bounds. This is truly a wonderful state. It can change from a state of doubt to one of promise in a comparatively short time. Hogs at $3.60 a hundred and corn at 50 cents a bushel is not enough. Hogs and cattle are our main dependence.

Horses have reached such a low valuation it does not pay to raise them, consequently breeders are neglecting that business. As fine a patch of potatoes as we have seen for a long time is that of Tony Pauli's. They are knee high. Certainly Anthony deserver credit lor the manner in which he does his work. The cat crop has taken such a wonderful growth that those who had grave doubts as to whether it would justify them to invest in new binders, nave concluded to get them.

That crop will be a very good one in this locality. We have not seen any oat fields of the black or white variety but what will make an average crop. The straw may not obtain so large a growth but the oat yield will surprise the st sanguine. The corn crop so far promises as well as anyone could desire. is now having a rapid growth.

In fact everything looks bright to those who can be pleased at all. Some few of our farmers turned off their help, we think a little too previous. Should the weather continue showery throughout June the corn may make Ihese fellows jump around kind of lively. Some few of our number spent a day recently fishing east of Morrow. They report a fine catch and a jolly good time.

Some one asked our opinion of the Texas oats. We think Texas is big enough to hold all that kind of oats. It hardly suits our state as it does not stand drouth well. We tried to raise them one year and got left so badly that we were glad to get right again by not sowing any more. The Enosdale Unique bass drum boys go out serenading quite often these lovely nights.

They play real well and are wnetting up we suppose for some 4th of July celebration. Any locality in need of such music can see the boys. Kansas is one of the greatest states in the Union. She has her advau tages and disadvantages like all other states. There is a greater per cent of her land tillable than any other state you cn mention and the greatest fault the people find is the insufficiency of water fall To obviate this to a certain extent the farmers should dam up all large ravines and thereby collect water, either by the melting of snow or by rainfall, that the evaporation of such water would moisten the atmosphere and rain would be more abundant.

Trees should be set out in con -nection and all done that is possible to bring about the great necessity so much needed. THE GANG BROKEN UP Will Correll, Ed. Reagan and Nick Stoltzer Arrested. Frank Sheckler Wanted On last Saturday night Simon's clothing store was broken into by prying up a back window and hats, coats, vests, shoes, pants and other goods were taken, aggregating in value about one hundred dollars. Mr.

Simon reported the matter to Sheriff Mitchell who at once began a thorough investigation of the matter. By Wednesday he bad such a complete net of evidence wove around Will Correll that a visit to his house resulted in the finding of all the goods Simon had lost on Saturday night and some of McElhaney's goods. Mrs. Correll dropped some remark that caused the officers to believe Ed Reagen was one of the guilty parties and he was arrested at once. Correll had left the city in the evening and Sheriff Mitchell swore in several deputies and sent them to the country with instructions how to proceed.

Ed Vincent and Dr. Neff were sent to Hanover to head off any escape on the Grand Island midnight train. Under Sheriff Foote, Deputy Geo. Carroll and Constable Osborne were sent to Jenk-in Jones farm where Elsworth Correll works. After midnight Correll and his brother came to Jones' house and entered.

The officers surrounded the house and Undersheriff Foote demanded entrance. Correll tried to escape and for a tew seconds it looked to the officers like a bloody fight was on. Correll tried to escape through a window and did not peaceably surrender until one of the officers had fired one shot. He was arrested and brought to the city and locked up. A further search of his house led to the recovery ot probably two hundred dollars worth of McElhaney's goods and a lot of boots and shoes identified by Mike Purcell and Dave Boyington as being Ganos'.

Yesterday Nick Stcltzer's house was searched and a lot of McElhaney's goods found. He was arrested and will make a fight in the courts as he claimed that these goods were given to his wife by her brother Will Correll. This all parties claiming to know, verify. But he may be tried for receiving and using stolen goods as the state may attempt to prove he knew that fact. Frank Sheckler's house was searched a few goods recovered but in his tool box in his father's shop about forty dollars worth of McElhaney's silks was found.

He is absent from the city and has been all week. Correll and Reagan told us last night that they would plead guilty to the charge of entering Simon's store, and Correll is anxious to get his sentence as soon as possible. He has a wife and two childien. By the capture of these parties Sheriff Mitchell has won the admirationiof every one and one reason of the small earnings of our business men has been discovered. The stolen goods consisted of thready braid, lace, trimming, hats, clothing, shirts, underclothing, socks, hose, neckties, suspenders, rubber boots, arctics, overshoes baby shoes, men and women shoes, combs, silk twist, canned goods, dried fruits, beans, dress goods and other things too numerous to mention.

Simon's store was entered on April ISth but none of the goods taken then have been found. McEIhaney has been missing goods constantly all winter. It is thought keys were used. T. H.

Eves found a skeleton key Tuesday on the street and it will unlock several doors around the square. Hon. Chas. Smith has been employed to defend Reagan. He had not had time to iook up his case and could not tell us what his defence would be.

A Visit to Our State University Many will remember the estimable family of the Cres, who lived in this county a number of years. It was here that I was very, hospitably entertained while inljawrence. They oc- cupy a large brick residence surrounded with lovely trees and evergreens.

I could see the roof of the main building from this place. The buildings of the University are located upon a high hill overlooking the city. Our guide escorted us to Snow Hail where I observed the numerous geological specimens, and the animals made even more remarkable by Prof. Dyche's lecture which I had heard in Washington. Miss Lizzie Crew and I then went to the library building.

Here I saw the assistant librarian, Miss Mabel Rogers, who verp kindly showed us through the several departments of this mas sive structure, situated a short distance from the chancellor's residence. These two buillings cost 8100,000. I was told that the stones in the new chemistry edifice were brought from Ohio They are very beautiful. My first entrance into the chapel (the main buildiug, of course) was for the purpose of listening to the elocutionary entertainment. Tnere were two grad uates and they did excellently.

The inclemency of the weather prevented a crowded house the evening before to witness the musical entertainment, nevertheless it was an appreciative audience. The Baccalaureate sermon was delivered by Rev. Willard Scott, D. of Chicago, and he is indeed a line speaker. Pres.

Wm. R. Harper, of the University of Chicago, presented some very able expressions in favor of a better system of education in the U. S. Among other things he compared our country with those across the ocean in the Annual University au-dress.

The address to the Law School by Mr. John J. Ingalls will long be remembered. On Wednesday occurred the commencement exercises of all the schools. The number in each department is as follows: School of Arts, 54; School of Engineering 14; School of Law, 47; School of Pharmacy, School of Fine Arts, Department of Music, Department of Drawing and Painting, 2: Department of Elocution, 2.

Six of the graduates participated in the program, and the music was furnished by Wheeler's Orchestra of Kansas City, Mo. Charles Qrew will finish the School of Engineering, and Miss Katie will graduate from the School of Fine Arts in the department of drawing and painting, next year. The annual exhibit of drawing and painting was in Music Hall. I enjoyed my visit to the Indian school south of Lawrence. This institution is supported by the government, and I learned several facts from the heads of the various departments.

I also saw the home of our State Superintendent. We may well be proud of our state institutions, which are so interesting to lovers of education. Yours in the cause, Ella Avahd. Winter Tourist Rates. The St-Joseph Grand Island R.
