1 Wichita Eagle: Southwestern Kan-sas seems to bo over-run with horse-thieves at tho present time. Almost every night one or more horses are stolen in this and adjoining counties. A prominent official stated to an Eagle reporter that, in his opinion, there is an organ izod gang of horse-thieves operating in this part of the country, and that in a short time some startling disclosures will be made, and a number of desperate nnd well-known criminals will be lodged behind the bars. The sheriff daily receives large numbers of telegrams and postal cards giving accounts of some horses stolen and asking for tho apprehension of the thieves, who in many cases head for Wichita. Atchison.

Bernard Schmidt, the Atchison county farmer who is detained in the German army, has been a citizen of the United States twenty-three years. When Schmidt went back to the old country on a visit, a few months ago, he was arrested for having deserted from the army. His friends admit that he was a deserter, but say there is no other charge against him. In case Schmidt is not released upon the petition of the American government, he willl be compelled to serve six months as a soldier. A neighbor of Schmidt's in this county named Gronihger accompanied him on his the trip has returned.

When he left Germany Schmidt waa in the guard house and had not consented to serve as a soldier. Schmidt baa a fine farm near Huron, and a wife and five children, who are naturally much distressed over his detention. COLBY, KANSA8.

28.On the 15th of next month this infant eity will celebrate the accomplishment of deep water. For twenty long years the great West has wished and waited for a deep harbor on the Gulf Coast of Texas. To-day they have their wish. At Velnseo, "the mouth of the Brazos river whore it empties into the Gulf of Mexico, private money and Western enterprise has accomplished what Government money, expended underthe direction of Government engineers, entirely failed in. Capt.

Eads put to shame the silk-sbirte, kid-gloved, sleek and well-fod engineers of the United States at the mouth of the Mississippi river, and now again, Mr. E. L. Corthell, who was Capt. Eads' chief, has heaped more shame upon them at the mouth of the Brazos river.

They reported that the jetties at the Mississippi's month would fail of what Capt. Eads promised. Every school boy knows the triumph of brave Capt. Eads. They reported that the mouth of the Brazos, a channel 6 feet deep and 100 feet wide, could not be maintained.

In two years a channel 177 7-10 feet deep and 250 feet wide has been opened without dredges and the scour of the river is rot only maintaining it, but wearing it deeper every day. It Did Not Cost Uncle Sam One Cent, either. Now we are rejoicing, and Ave ask all tho thirteen million people of the West to come down on the 15th of December and rejoice with us. The railroads will sell you round-trip tickets for one fare, good for thirty Says, and wc will take the best care of you. Our deep water and our landlock harbor belong to you.

Every producer in the West has a dollar and centinter-st in Velasco. Every tax-payer in the i don must be its friend because it is a iiiblic work which lias been accomplished without digging into his pocket for the cost. A city is building already. The irreat ocean's commerce of the world has rushed through the channel made by the jetties into Velasco and is demanding business attention. Fruits of the South, sugar and lumber from the East, coiil, silks in large ships which could not get into other Gulf ports without expensive lighterage charges, are demanding that Velasco take their cargoes and give them return freight of cotton, wheat, corn, flour and meats.

Velasco is only 135 days old, but its commerce is established; every department of trade is inviting, begging some one to take the business. Three hundred and seventy-one firms are already established, but the business of a city of 15,000 or 20,000 people would not be enough to answer the demands. In 135 days at private sale 715,000 dollars worth of lots have been sold. On the 10th and 17th of December thre will be a public auction of every other block in the city. These blocks have been reserved for this sale.

You can at that time buy lots which are across the street in great brick business blocks which are being piled up as fast as men can handle brick and mortar. All railroads will give information or you can get it by writing to the Velasco Commercial club. Come down and see us grow, whether you buy a lot or not. You may need a tonic and throe days with us, where fhe roses are blooming in every yard and fat oysters sleep in every creek, will repay you for the trip. We will welcome you.

Remember the dates of the HARBOR OPENING with oyster roast and ship excursion, Dec. 15. The auction sale, Dec. 16 and 17. We will give our right hand in welcome to all who corre.

Kansas is shown by Secretary Noble's report to be a very desirable state. It has only acres of public lands still untaken almost exactly the amount that remains in tho much older state of Micnigan. and very much less than Wisconsin. Minnesota, with its frozen climate, has nearly 7,000 000 acres left, of which 4,000,000 has not even boon surveyed.

Medicine Lodge Cresset: Frank Gordon, from Lnke City, is one of tho best-posted cattlemen in the county, and his opinion is generally accepted by all. He says the outlook for feeders is gloomy indeed. The range is almost worthless, forcing stockmen to commence feeding two months before they usually do.

With the high price of feed and the low price of cattle, the profits of our Btockmen look pretty small. The agricultural college farm at Man-hattan has a corn harvester that cuts and loads one row of corn as fast as a team can walk.

GaylorJ Herald: It is estimated that there are 80,000 bushels of wheat stored in elevators and vacant buildings at Gaylord at tha 'present time. It has been impossible to secure cars to haul it away, and buyers have been compelled to refuse grain because they had no room to store it.
