A GREAT FUTURE III
Several Cass County People Who
Enthusiastic
Thomas M. Patterson, cashier of
the Bank of Cass county, together
with Luke L. Wiles, the well known
stock raiser of the precinct and W.
F. Moore, one of the best farmers of
Rock Bluffs precinct, have Just re
turned from a several days trip to
Ness City, Kansas, where the gentle
men looked over some fine farming
land which they contemplated invest-

FARMERS WESTERN KANSAS
ing In. The land in question is a 'value of this land will advance hand
poition of a fine 4,700 acre ranch !80mely within the next few years and
which has been recently cut up into
farms of from 160 acres and up and
placed on the market. The land lies
near Ness City, in Ness county, and
is very rich and fertile, being partly
bottom land and partly lying on the
second bottom. There are a large
number of former Cass county resi
dents located In the vicinity of these
lands, many residing-In Trego county
near Waukeeney and Collyer, while
a number are located east of the
lands near LaCrosse In Rush coun
ty. All this region is undergoing a
quiet, steady growth which has re
sulted In a sharp advance In land
values in exploiting the lands whose
values have climbed as the result of
natural causes and a realization of
their value by the public.
The lands which the gentlemen ex
amined is west of Barton county.Kan
sas, the wheat center of the state
and the county with the banner re
cord as a wheat producer. The lands
in Barton county are conceded to be
the best wheat lands In the country
and these gentlemen assert that the
land In Ness county Is fully the equal
of that, and can be had much cheap
er. Messrs. Wiles and Moore, who
are practical farmers who know land
and crops when they see It, were
thoroughly enthused and declare the
land to be as good as could be had.
A great deal has been said of re
cent years about "dry Kansas," many
people confusing the prohibition slo
gan with the climatic conditions that
exist In the sunflower state. That
this is wrong is attested by the fact
that the rainfall around Ness City
and throughout that section Is some
thirty inches as good as this sec
tion enjoys and most people are sat
isfied with this. Dry Kansas has
been a bugaboo for a good many
years past, but it Is exploded now and
Kansas is known to be as blessed
with as much rain as any section of
the country.
Mr. Patterson when questioned as
to the raising of corn In that coun
try, declares that he has Investigated
the conditions and he knows that as
good corn can be raised there as any
where In the land.' In addition the
country Is mnt oif.,,r ..

alluvlal bottom lands being especial
ly fitted for this crop. The lower
bottom Is usually planted to this crop
as it produces one more crop than the
second bottom. The three great crops
are wheat, corn and alfalfa, all grow
well on this land and yield abundant
ly and this Is now being found out J
by prospective purchasers. Mr. Pat
terson Is very confident that the
he looks confidently forward to mak
ing handsome returns on any Invest
ment which may be made.
Speaking of the material develop
ment of that country, Mr. Patterson
says that he was astonished at the
fine farm buildings which were in evi
dence everywhere he went. From
Kansas City all along the line of the
Santa Fe railroad clear out to Ness
City, there are solid and substantial
farm buildings and the evidences of
thrift are to be seen on every hand.
He noted at one place In particular
only a few miles from the land they
were looking at, a modern farm with
outbuildings in large numbers and
every late method of farming a
place beside which he knew none in
this section to compare save Harry
Todd's place near Union. On this
farm 65,000 bushels of wheat was
raised last year and this year there
Us 5,000 acres planted to that cereal.
It can readily be seen that there is
some big money In store for the ow
ner. The freeze and the frost which
swept over this section and destroyed
fruits and vegetation did not touch
that part of the country and there
was no damage done there. In fact,
the evidences of the frost do not
commence to appear until near the
Nebraska line and Mr. Patterson does
not figure that any loss whatever oc
curred down there by It.
Mr. Patterson placed no confidence
In the reports which have been pre
valent on the Chicago board of trade
of winter killed wheat in Kansas or
theravages of the Hessian fly or
other damages In the wheat flclda.
He declares he never saw wheat look

IS
At Havelock Over Trouble Grow
ing Out of Strike.
Mike Warga, Sr., of Havelock, for
many years a well known citizen of
this city where he was employed in
the Burlington shops, and who is
now foreman of the Burlington boiler
shop at Havelock, Is the first victim
of ill-treatment and. violence as an
outgrowth of the strike of the Bur
lington bollermakers In that city, ac
cording to report.
Mr. Warga has filed a complaint In
the office of Justice Fullerton of Have
lock against one James Marke, first
and real name unknown, and one
Peters, also with first and real name
unknown, alleging that these two
men who are strikers, knocked him
down and then kicked him. The
complaint charges assault and bat
tery. Warga lias worked for the Bur
lington for thirty-three years and re
moved from this city several years
since. He has a number of relatives
living here at present. According
to Warga's story, the two men as
saulted him as ho was returning, to
the shops from his dinner. Warga
declares he has been asked a number
of times to quit his Job, since the
bollermakers went out on strike, but
he states he refused to do so, as he
had reached the age when jobs were
not easy to secure and he did not
care to find himself out of a Job at
that time of life with no prospects
ahead. He declared that he was sat
isfied with the pay he was getting
and he could see no good reason for
quitting it and losing out all around.
The two men will, likely be arrest
ed If they can be located and the
railroad company will doubtless fur
nish the means for prosecuting them.
Warga's Injuries were not at all se
rious it is understood, and the arrest
Is likely more for effect In securing
peace in the city than for any other
In Honor of Lut Buy of School.
A very enjoyable event was that
of yesterday at the Rock Creek school
house, when the pupils, their par
ents and friends gathered at a picnic
dinner and program, which had been
arranged for by the teacher of the
school, Miss Elizabeth Oliver in hon
or of the last day of school for this
term. In honor of the occasion the
school room had been handsomely
decorated, and a special effort made
to Insure every one of a fine time, and
the parents, friends and pupils who
assembled at tho school room yes
terday celebrated the event In a man
ner which will long be remembered.
The forenoon was devoted in var
ious games, social conversation and
the like. At the noon hour an ele
gant picnic dinner was spread In the
schoolroom and everybody gathered
about the festive board and Joined In
the banquet, which elicited many
compliments. The daintiest dishes
the larder would afford were most
temptingly served and were likewise
greatly enjoyed. Mr. Isabell, mail
carrier on route 1, happened along
just at the noon hour and he was
Invited to stop and partake of this
most elegant dinner. Mr. Isbell ac
cepted the kind invitation and after
having done full justice and having
thanked the teacher and her pupils
for having bo kindly remembered
him, continued on the route.
In the afternoon a most interesting
and entertaining program was ren
dered, in which the pupils of the
school participated and which the
parents and friends throughly en
joyed. We have it confidentially
from one who was present, that for
down-right enjoyment this occasion
was one of the very bel it was ever
his good fortune to participate in.
The Ledger's Anniversary Kdillon.
Harry Graves deserves a great deal
of credit for the splendid edition
emanating from the Union Ledger of
fice this week. It is a "Booster Edi
tion," in the fullest sense of the
term and also, serves as the twenty
second anniversary edition, and con
tains a write-up of every enterpris
ing citizen of Union, and that means
about all of them. It Is also very
appropriately Illustrated with busi
ness houses and numerous citizens of
the town and surrounding country.
It also contains a fine description of
tho town, and will prove a great
benefit to the commercial Interests of
Union. Ever since Harry took charge
of the Ledger, from week to week
It has improved, which demonstrates
that ho la one of (he goers In the
newspaper business. The Journal
congratulates the young man In get -
ting out an edition that would do
credit to any country newspaper in

The taker Bigamy Case.
Below will be found the syllabus
In the case of the State vs. Charles
J. Baker which was reversed day be
fore yesterday by the supreme court.
This sets forth fully the law in the
matter as the supreme court sees it
applicable to this particular case. In
connection with this case as well as
others which have been reported
from time to time in the newspapers,
the practice which some papers have
been following of allowing counsel
for the parties to write their ac
counts of the reversal or affirmation
as the case might be, Is not followed
In this office. In this case a stated
ment has been made to the effect
that the "majority of people the man
was unaware he was committing a
crime'' which seems extraordinary In
view of the fact the jury found the
man guilty in a short time and w hich
savors strongly of having been writ
ten by the defendant's counsel. Such
methods of reporting cases are law
are reprehensible to say the least:
Baker vs. State. Error, Cass. Re
versed and remanded. Sedgwick, J.
Letton, J., dissenting.
1. In a prosecution for bigamy
the allegation in the information that
the defendant married a person
named at a specified time and place
and then and there had the said
(naming her) for his wife, Is a suffi
cient allegation of the first marriage,
without the further allegation that
the parties then had "a legal right
to marry."
2. In a prosecution for bigamy,
when it appears that the first wife is
still living it is erroneous to exclude
evidence offered by defendant tend
ing to show that prior to his second
marriage he was errorably informed
that his first wife had obtained a
divorce and that he had sufficient
reason to believe and did believe the

Xear Two Inches ltuliifull.
From Saturday's Dally.
The rain which took place In this
city and vicinity night before last
and which continued in the form of
an intermittent drizzle all day, took
on additional force last night and
was quite heavy throughout the
night, giving the country a thorough
soaking and ma"klng the farmers as
veil as the townspeople wear one of
tho celebrated smiles which won't
come otT.. The total rainfall was 1.80
indies of which one inch fell night
before last up to 7 o'clock this morn
ing. This is a fine fall and means
a million dollars more or less to the
corn growers of the state.
Reports from throughout the state
are that the rain yesterday extended
from state line to' state line east,
west, north and south, the downfall
being heavier through the eastern
half of the state than in the western
part. The Burlington reports that
during the past two days more than
an inch of rain has fallen at every
station east of Oxford and Ravenna,
the fall west of those points running
down to one-half an Inch. Reports
show the farmers of the state as
jubilant over the prospect for good
crops for the coming summer.
The weather bureau for today
predicts party cloudy and warmer In
the eastern portion of the state with
showers In this part of the state;
Sunday is to bo fair and warmer.
The hope for warmer weather which
is all needed right now is strong and
wltW anything like seasonable weath
