Letter from Knqla.
Eureka , Kansas ,
July 2nd , 1')0 ( , .
gDI'fOH RHI't1I1T.ICAN. .
Ilaving spent the paat three
weeks visiting my cousinI' in the
Sunflower tate the writer has
noticed only slight differences in
the cuStOl111 of the peopla but the
country is quite a contrast to
Central Nehraska. 1t was near
this place my father tool { a home-
steal in the 70's , Near the old
Santa Foe trail I lived in childhood -
hood days.
One of the most interesting
scene8. was a band of Indians
riding.siugle . file with tomahawks
dangling' by their sieles. A bold
chief , distinguished from the
others by wearing a coon-skin
cap with tail dangling behind ,
presented 111S credentials at the
Nixon homestead. Among other
things the chicf be ged was
chiclens and flour. but 1nstead he
receh'ed a cold lunch such as the
common tramp usually gets ,
Indeed he nnd 111S two companions
made quite a feast on what we
had left from dinner. My mother
seeing the hefltthy appearance
of the red men said : "Wh ' don't
.otl work" ? 'l'he chief ( swallow-
Ing' the last fragment ) said :
"Umphl Indian sickl" They
then rode slowly awa ) ' carefull ) '
watching our large but harmless
dog.Soon
Soon after entering' Kansas the
rivers arc more numerous and a
variety of trees grow along t1u ir
banks. Wind-mills gradually
disappeared , in its place was the
primativc walled 'well with its
curb and " 'l'he old oaken buc1et , "
usually in ' /c l1S at a 'lepth of
from 10 to 60 feet. Numerous
springs flow from ledgcs of lime-
stone.rock in the can'ons ,
It has been rather dry here and
- - -
-
\
some of the stockmen fear a
partial water famine , especially"
111 ponds n r1 sp.rings
Eureka has a natural g'as well
which furnishes a limited amount
for home use. The upland , as
table-land , is chiefly used as
pasture. Catalpa trees are successfully -
cessfully grown on . the poorer
soils. .
An eastern capitalist put out a
quarter section of catalpa trees
some ten ycars ago. He is now
selling them in car load lots for
posts. His profit is reported at
$100 per acre. If catalpa trees
can be successfully grown in
Nebraska it wouh1 save the farmers -
ers a hug ! ' . sum 01 money in a
short time.
Vast quantities of lime-stone
rock is quarried for building
purposes or as bal1ast for railroads
11n this aUtl adjoining counties.
Most farmers have small apple
and peach orchards which .prom-
ise a good yield of fruit , this
saasoll. ,
Notwithstanding the fact that
Kansas is richer in minerals than
Nebraska we arc ahead in rural
tcJephoncs in old Custer. .

THE MAN WITH A HOBBY ,
I confess to having a hobby and my hobby is to sell
the best huggy that can be sold for the money and to
[ rive you a guarantee that if the buggy is not what I
tell you it is I will fix it or refund your money.
I have my buggies made after my own specifications
and I know what they are made of. By buying' direct
from the factory I am able to save 25 per cent over wuat
my competitors pay for theirs and consequently am able
to sell ) 'O a buggy frum S10 to $20.00 less than they
can possihly do. I have just received
-r c > Car : L.oadsII !
the latest elTect of the 'factories , all bright and new.
There has ncver been shown in Custer county as many
buggies under one roof as I will show you if you come
in. I have everything , carriages , surreys , road wagons ,
spring wagons , driving wagons , carts and buggies of
all descriptions. In fact , I wilt show you over 100
ditTerent jobs.
