LOVE-LINKEI): Oil, BLOOMS AND BURRS IN SANDY SEDGWICK. CUAPTKR XI. It wusncrl-p morning In ratty Poceiii-her. Tlm sun was far to tho southeast ha tt urnsn over thu rich undulating limit which stretches afar toward tlio Flint Hills beyond tlm Walnut rlvur.

Tlio frost glittered upon tlio boughs of tlm trees llko diamond dust sprinkled In a girl's lintr st masipmruda hull, uud tlio old brlmllo cow stood all humped up an tho south sldo of tlio bnru, watting for thu inti to wurm up her Inrhourd oxtnr lor, and longing for a bucket of hot chop feed to dltTusn gladness III hor Interior department. Milt Clinton stood st Ills cottage uoor walling for the street car to convey him to tho Union depot. There was a tear In Ediths eyo. Milt wus going away going on a trip which seemed to Edltlijliehrldoofa few weeks, to be of Immeiiaiirahlo dNtancc, entailing an absence of nn ago lie was going to secure land In a border comity amt lay ofl a town site, Why must you go away off tlioro, my lovo sho sighed. There uro plenty of opportunities for us to prosper In business here.

Wo Iiiivor good start, mid Wichita Is going to boom beyond nil precedence In tlio spring, for I heard Colonel Joslyn suy It would. I know nil that," answered Milt, but wo want to secure soma land oat near tlio neutral strip, nnd Ill soon return. Ill ho hack long before spring. You must remember that men dont liuvo to live on tlio land out tlioro to secure It. Most all of lr Is taken by men of money who live In cities east of Dodge.

They tlio on tliclr claims nnd go home; then they wateli dates amt sleep oir tho laud ono night each three months; then they get a deed for It, und pretty soon tlio homo-seekers will fill up tlio country and ho cumpcllod to buy tlio land ut good figures." Why thats not right exclaimed Edith, Let tho poor home-seekers secure It by living on It. Wo dont want money wrung from half-starved, travel-worn emigrants who may go out tlioro seeking homes next summer. Don 't you know, my love, tlioro Is no real happiness In money obtained by cruelly taking advantage of tho poor You talk llko a elirlstuln of early days," said he. My mother used to talk that way, but this is tho ago of rustling, pushing, whooping things, booming things and piling lip dollars! dollars! dollars I It is the ago tlmt worships tho Almighty dollar ahovo everything In the universe, and a man who has no dollars lias no friends, 1 propose to have friends! And with this cmplmtlo ro-mark ho bounded toward the street cur, leaned upon tho platform und threw a kiss to Edith ns the cur sped away toward tho Uulon depot which is situated away up toward tho Santa Fo land grant. Edith entered her homo, and, dropping into a cludr, burled her face lu her hands, and wept till tho pearly, saline tears ran between her taper lingers, and hor bosom heaved like the bosom of old ocean when Boreas smites It, A lady friend of licrs nnd her little brother Bobble camo over to stny with her that night.

They read and talked till nine oclock, when they arose to retire, At that moment there came a loud knocking nt the front door. It frightened the two ladles In the house nnd they asked who's there?" No answer came, and after a pnuso, there was a loud thundering on tlio sldo door; then nt the kitchen door, and tlio ladles mid tho lad wero terribly scared; groans were heard at the window and Bobble began to scream. The panic-stricken ladles determined to flee from the house, and running to the frontdoor, they flung it open nnd bounded out and ran toward the Montague mansion, with Bobble swinging to their hands. A form wrapped In a sheet followed them for a distance, screeching In demoniacal tones! It was 110110 other than Mrs. 1rytattle, the vicious old she devil.

She chased the frightened trio for a square thon slipped back through an alloy to hor home, threw off the winding sheet, laid down on the enrpot und rolled and laughed, exclaiming: "Revenge I revenge I sweet rovenge! They shot mein the eyo with pepper sauoo, but Im giltin oven with 'em Mr. Montnguo got policeman Chns. Snyder and went to the Clinton cot-tago and locked tho doors. Next day Edith remained at the home of hor parents. She was tell-iug her mother about her domestic af (airs, her happy days, hopes for Milts eurly return, when, on looking through a window, they saw a crowd of ukout twenty men chasing an in dividual across a lot.

The pursued partys tongue was out and his eyes were bulging from their sockets. His pursuers caught him, backed bim up against a fence nnd began to pull at bis arms and bang on to bis collar, and tear his clothes. Finally two of em dragged him away, and compelled the othor pursuers to stand bnok at the muzzles of revolvers. Old Montague stood ou tho front steps laughing. His wife upbraided him for his indifference and asked what all that furore meant.

those men are real estate agents, and they're trying to sell a stranger some lots," replied Mr. M. TO BE CONTINUED. V'UHMSl tli'Mt J'lf Professional Cards. Dm.

"4 The Largest Jinn In Snuiiy Kansas, Tint Amtow archer, iu preseiiting tlio portraits aiul biogrnphie of noteworthy tliw actors iu tLits valley, bus secured for this iasuo Mr. Frederick Schuitzler, known throughout southern Kuusus as lie is ono of tbo prominent uiuu of the city, both iu public Bpirit und stature, being six feet and two inches In height, with a frame and tissue that pull down the soldo to 31G pounds. He was horn iu NVurtemburg, Germany, in 1833. His pnruuts were robust and followed farming.

Tbo subject of this sketch, though trained iu toil, received a good education. Iu 1857 Fritz found the "Littlo German Home Across tbo Sea too suiull for him uud ho shipped for America, arriving iuXew York on the 4th of July, The city was ubluze with glory, and Fritz thought ho hsd struck the most joyous country and peoplo under the sun. Ho went from New York to Chicago, and worked as duirytnuu or one year, lie left Chicago und went to bt. Louis, whore Lo cccurod the position of second mate on the steamer Post Boy, plying tho Illiuois river, llo filled ihu position with ability, and learned tho channel of Ike river in one year. When the war broke out lie wus awarded a contract to furnish the government 5,000 cords of wood, to Lo delivered at the levee at St.

Louis, llo secured a boat of his own, small cruft, called tho Jen uio Lind, und tilled his contract lo the letter. Ills buccoss uindu him more umbitious, uud iu 1804 be enlarged Ins boat to 110 tons burthen and called it "Futz the Urcat." He freighter heat, staves and hoop-poles to Saint Louis, the chief burdens being wheat. While useending the river on one trip Fritz tbo Great was tbo victim of a flight ful explosion, by which a pilot aiul several deck-hands were killed. Mr. Schnitzler had just It ft tho pilot's wheel uud descended tho stops lo tho cabin when the explosion occured.

He cast anchor, and remained with his dead and wounded companions for a sorrowful night and day beiore a tow boat came to their relief. The loss was heavy, but Captain Scbnizlor again repaired the vessel and rosumed navigation. About this time Fritz, realizing the dangers that beset man on lifes voy-ige, wisoly concluded to tie up" in matrimony, and cast a golden anchor. Ho married Mrs. Caroline Rudolph, of Jerseyvillo, Illinois.

Six children have blessed their union, five of whom uru living, namely Mrs. Ed Knoblauch, Mrs. Otto Kopplin, Henry, Willie and Dollie Schnitzler. About a year after tbo explosion above described the steamer "Fritz the Great" was cacght in a galo at the mouth of the Missouri river; it was in the darkness of night, and tho boat capsized. The Cnptuin and crew swam nBlioro; the cargo, worth $3000, was a total loss, bat the boat was caught at St.

Louis. Mr. Schnitzler continued boating until 1872, when he heard of growing Kansas and the dashing young city of Wichita, and determined to leave the river, its dangers and rheumatism and remove to this city. He bought a farm on Cow Skin, and went in with a team of good horses and broke CO aercB of sod that spring on which he raised 35 bushels of corn per acre Next spring ho put in a spendid gar den, and made a specialty of aabbage, putting out 5,000 plants to supply the Wichita market. Tne season was er tremely dry, and the steambbator-farmer determined that tho cabbages should have water anyhow, so he hauled during the summer al)out 10,000 barrels of water from the creek for those plants.

They were vigorous, solid and worth big money, but just before lime to market them the suu became clouded one day and a ruin of grasshoppers set iu! They fell so densely that tbo air was filled, the earth wus covered and every grecu thing was devoured by them. Fritz endeavored to secure a few heads of cubbngo by dualling into the patch, but tho pests wero too numerous for bim. They covered him; actunliy ntu bis new straw but off bis bead, and ato tbo cuLhago out of bis bauds. (Yo omit tlio remarks of Fritz on tbis occasion. but tho reader can imagine that they wero not calculated to go into Sunday School literature.

Ho wus disgusted; he sold his farm to Charles Steuruc-s; and removed to the city, llo bought Jacob Bizzauls place ou Mam street. A year later tho boom of Douglas uveuuo caused rush for that street, and Mr. F. pur chased lots and built a large boarding bon so wlioro Qoldstnudt Bros, store now stands. Hero be did a huge business, furnishing meals to 120 to 150 per day up to 1881, when a fire destroyed his house and ho lost $1,800 by tho lliimcs, as tho plnco whs only partially insured.

He rebuilt upon the saiuo ground and business again prospered him. In that year ho wont to Germany to attend a family reunion at the oid homestead. He reuchud tlm homo of his boyhood one afternoon while nil tho family wore out in tho fields except bis vou-erablo father, who did not recognize him. Fritz represented himself ns an insurance ngent, snd had fun with the old gentleman for two hours. When a brother finally came in and rccog-eized Fritz, the father could scarcely behove it was his son; but nftor walking around the "boy" and sizing him up ho snid that Kansas must ho a great country to produce such a cor-porosity.

His visit wan a pleasant one, and ho returned to his home to drive business along again. Iu 1SS4 ho erected the large block on Market street, the lower story of which is known nenr ami fur as "Scliuitzlurs Fleasuro Resort. The upper story contains tho council chamber, Police Judges office, City ClcrkB office, ka. In the full of 1884 an uncle of Mr. Schnitzler died in St.

Louis and ho quoalhed him several thousand dollars. Having publio spirit and faith in Wcihitn, he erected tho fine brick building on the east side of Market street, tho second story of which ho occupios ns a residence, and a description of which we copy from the Wichita Nows of Dec. 3d: Mr. anil Mrs. Fritz Schnitzler, are per Imps, as nicely fixed for living, and surrounded by as many home comforts, as any other couple In tho stuto They occupy the entire second story of their new building on Market street, and It is elegantly furnished throughout.

The front room Is a parlor, 20 by 20 finely lighted by cnpuotoiis windows which are hung with Inside shutters, The floor Is covered with an elegant Eu gltsh velvet carpet, and a flue clmmlnllor ornaments the ceutcr of tho room. Tho furniture consists In part of luxurious plush covered lounges and chairs with handsome oontre table, etc. On the walls are life llko pictures of Mr. nnd Mrs. Schnitzler and llonry Bchnltzlor, General Hancock is dead, ills countrymen will mourn him ns one who embodied thu highest type of tho American citizen, patriot, soldier und gentleman.

Ho was grand In his heroism nnd military ability during the war, und equally grand in lilsj modest dignity In time ol peace. The (L A. It. Encaitipiurat. Nelson said England expects every man to do his duty.
