Address for full information W. H. H. Fryb Letter from B- Moss, Beelville, Nkss Sept. 4, 1887.

Editor Eagle Beelville is situated in Ness county, on the C. K. W. R. R.

,16 miles from Ness City which is our county seat on the east and 17 miles from Dighton the county seat of Lane county on the west Beel ville is a flourishing little town, There is not a foot of, government land left in this vicinity; every quar ter is being cultivated by actual Bet tiers, men who are here to stay and provided with good teams, cattle hogs, etc. They here to establish houies and they look to Beelville for their supplies. From 30 to 40 feet from the jrarf ace we find an abundance of water, clea as crystal, sweet as nectar and as pure as the mcrning dew The soil and climate of Ness coun ty can not be excelled! Our winters are mild, autumns delightful and even in the heat of summer man. need never turn out on account of the sun's rays. At night he Invarably seeks the warming shelter of a pair of blankets so coofrare the nights.

The town site is as pretty as can be found in the wide world. Situated on high ground alsping gently to the south-east and iwest, overlooking a beautiful valley of walnut. A never-failing stream of purewater, varying in depth from 3 to 15 feet flowing through Its banks decorated with weeping-willows and bright flowers, is a most attractive and picture. One mile from town we find two good ouarries of justly celebrated magnesia limestone of which the school house, Starrett Brother's Hardware Implement rooms and the $5,000 hotel is built. This beau tiful and durable building material can be had laid on the ground in Beel ville at $3.

peifaord; the mason work amounts to but 0 per hundred squre feet and makes an attractive, com fortable and durable residence or business house that will be the pride of the present and joy of the future owner at a very small cost. Tne soil is a rich, dark, sandy loam from two to three feet deep. That we have the richest soil in western Kansas, is proven toy the fact that Ness county holds a prize worth $150, won at the Garden City Exposition held in September 1880, for the best display of agricultural products. In the contest were thirteen counties, each one bound to win, but Ness county bore awaVJthe prize in tri umph ana stands reaay at any time to enter the prize ring on the same Bcore, Our schooland church privileges are as good as those of many eastern states. The citizens of our town and neighboring farming country are honest, wide-awake business men with the best interests of their children always in view; thus insurirxy happiness of our people bevond the shadow oi a doubt.

It lies In the latitude of Washington, D. very near tile geographical center of the Uniomfat an elevation or about one thousaj feet above the sea lev el, and has mild and healthful cli mate, representing the happy mean "between the extremes of Northern cold and Southern heat. The long and genial summer season, with Its breezy days and cool, refreshing nights, can only be fully appreciated by those who are so fortunate as to have their homes located in thisvicm ity. The winters are short, dry and open, and rarely prveent farm work for more than a few weeks. The an nual rainfall ranges from thirty to forty inches, bo evenly distributed through the season that a failure of crops is unknown.

WHY ROSEMONT aoasESSES advantages not kkjoted BY OTHER NTIW CITIES THAT ARE STARTING IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THK COUNTRI. It is located on the K. D. R. ten miles north of Waverly, nine miles south of Juenemo, six.

miles, west of Williamsburg, and thirteen south-east of Lyndon, the county neat of Osage County. In a country. that has been settled for the last twenty years, consequently! its peo pie passed beyond tho stages of struggling existence, and arrived at happy periodof comparative in' dependence, "if not opulence'1 of life, which is thesewolt ol years of harJ, honest toil and privation, and are in a condition today to build up a city that shall be looked at by the-ouiside world with wonder, and pointed at as the crowning climax of true western To any one who wishes for busi ness opening, there is no town or city that offers greater inducements than does Rosemont today. Surrounded as it is by a rich country, in one of the most healthful regions of our great American repub lie. it possesses all the advantages of an old, settled country to support it, with none of the drawbacks common to new towns started in a new coun try without settlements.

In connection with all other advantages, fire-clay been found in inexhaustible quantity, with which Rosemont seems sure to develop one large manufacturing interest in large FIre-Brick, Tile and Pottery Works, which will be in fuU operation in the near future, giving employment to a force of both skilled and unskilled laborers. A bed of this most valuable product eighteen feet thick un-derlaysthe town; also, immediately overlaying this bed of clay is a vein ef excellent coal, which not only insures cheap fuel for the city, but will insure the Fire-Brick, Tile and Pottery Works, as cheap fuel for producing the products of fire-clay enter Jargely into the costs of the wares.
