Cause and 'e:nehu, Drown and Jackson counties, in the northern part uf the state, at tending the annual meeting of the Kansas Chas sis and visiting some of the missions of the Church. During these visits I came in contact with many families from Central Pennsylvania —among whom were Jonathan Kreamer and Mr. Hockmpn, from Brtudi Valley, Calvin .Meyer and Mr. Ilooue, from sugar Valley, and many others, all or whom are .doing well in opeuiiig up homes in this state. The present week will be spent at home, and 1 embrace this leisure to drop a few lines to our many friends in Penns Valley. The weather tills spring has lieen favorable to growing crops, all of which with the exception of wheat will be above the average. Wheat however will be tfiore than half a crop. While it is tru that our rail roads and land jobbers continue to advertise the immense wheat crops of tliis state, candor compels me to say thai the wheat crop is too uncertain to be depended up on. And even were it as certain as it is in Pennsylvania, other rrops arc more profitable to the farmer. Nothing pays better than cat tle, sheep and hogs. Good steers two and a half years old, always ifn.l a ready cash market at prices ranging from sls to $;o. It will he seen that where these cattle can be pastured on the prariessix months in the year, and wintered on hay at $3 per ton, and corn from 20 to 25 ct per bushel, tnut there is more profit in it than lu raising wheat The same is true of hogs and sheep. Two years ago farmer borrowed S7OO anil invested it in calves. A few weeks ago lie sold his cattle for SISOO, paid off his mortgage and made another start in calves. And there is no portion ot Kansas better adopted to this kind of bus'hess than Lyon county. The indi cations are that Kansas will this year have the largest corn crop in her history. In theeariy part of June \vc were visited by the most fearful tornado known for many years. Emporia suffered but little in comparison with surrounding towns. All the buildings and fences on the Pair Grounds were demolished. A few dwellings in town were destroyed and sonic others more or less injured. Among the latter was the new St. Paul's Reformed Church, which was built last year. About $35 will however re pair all the damage sustained by the church. At Americns, nine miles north, the storm was more severe. The U. P. Church, eosting SOOOO, was leveled with the foundations, while a score of smaller houses were also entirely destroyed. There the storm was accompanied by hail which did much damage. Whole fields of wheat were entirely threshed out, fruit was wholly destroy ed, while the destructions of windows was fear ful. At Osage, east of us, the storm was at its highest. Everything within its reach was do. stroyed, several lives lost and many persons more or less injured. The exciting topic in this state is the temper ance movement. As you are aware at the elec tion last fall a constitutional amendment was | adopted, prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquoi-s of all kinds, save only for medicinal, mechanical and scientific purposes. This law went into effect May Ist. The Liquor party has raised a large fund for the purpose oi fighting the law to the bitter end. Test cases have been raised and the . law in its various pluses has been passed upon by the Supreme Court which has in eve j case sustain ed it. fn some few instances men sold oper.lv and in defiance of the law. andjhave peid scver- nl fines, but find It rather expensive business and true alter another is beginning to abandon , tlio traffic. In Leavenworth. Aclilsou, l>odgc . f'lty, ami perhaps oneov two other places, they defy the law* and the prosecuting attorneys | shut their eyes, and when cases are returned they conduct trials with the Intention of de feating; the law. ltut the temperance element ts wide awake and those officers who make no conscience of violating their on tin will find that their day of r cekoning is nearer at hand than they are ready to admit. Temperance wl 1 he inside n 'in the political platform at the coming election und the teinperanco Cle ment is strong enough to eh'et men who will Ml force the laws of the state. The liquor element Is evidently losingsirength by the game they are playing. It is composed of the "rotq/fn" who have endeavored to carry their point by the worst and most.despicable m wins. or canards a re issued by that party of the press which sympathizes with the win ky element— tnit in vain. " Prohibition does prohibit." The effects of the law thus far are various. It has ill the state of a class of men vho were preying upon the community. They have now mostly gone to Missouri and other states, ami In their Mead there has I eon a largcemigratlou of men who catue into the s'ato bcc tune of pro hibition. Kansas is by many odds thy gainer in this exchange In towns and elites where there was con stant drunkenness and rowdyism, where "Lockups" became a shameful necessity, now n\en such a gathering is brought together by a circus can pass olf without the presence of even a single drunkard. Criminal cases in our courts arc not halt as numerous as they were before the law came info effect. More than all —the youth of our stateyrow up >cr men. As under the old law the saloons paid a liceuseof ♦">oO each, it was feared Unit tlie diminution of the revenue would be seriously felt, but we find that we can geLaioug better without this reve nue ami its accompanying Urunkencss and rowdyism than with It. To give you a faint i lea of the stock business here I send you tlie report of MaJ. Hood's sale made yesterday for this year, amounting to 135,379. This is a pretty good sale for oue year. Mure anon. Yours very truly, J. (J. SIrOEHAKgJt. SN'AK/TS. A Medina butcher foutnl a snake eight inches long in a cow's liver. In Santa Barbara county, Califor nia, tliey are killiug ratllesuakts nine feet long. Two little negroes killed a rattle snake ia Taylor county,GGat. t which was 7i feet long and had eighteen rat tles. After N. S. Walker, of Colorado, Texas, had been compelled to use his revolver for half an hour to beat off rattlesnakes the romance of camp life vanished and he Immediately struck his tent. A 1 irge snake of the coach whip species attacked Joe Sluder, a negro of Covington, and coiled itself about his shoulders. Before it could be remov ed it hud bitten him severely upon the baud. Dr. A. K. Durham, a dentist, was at the home of M lyor It mell, in An derson county, S. C., when his little granddaughter, six years of age, was bitten by a rattlesnake on the foot. No remedy w.n at hand. Dr Dur ham heroically applied his lips to the wound and sent a messenger for whisky. Large doses of the liquor were given the child and she recovered. The doctor suffered no seiious con sequence:". About a mile and a half southeast of Rockville, It, 1., there ia a noted ren dezvous for snakes and people living thereabouts are very careful how they approach the spot. Oc the hundreds of snakes which have their homes at this den one has always been a terrcr to the neighborhood. It has been known that an enormous serpent had for several years infested tin place, but no one wanted to tackle him and be was left alone. Ills suakeship is at least twenty feet 1 )ug and a foot and a half in circumference, of a dark brown color, and it is thought to be the one that escaped from tho circus at Newport some years agj. In the nhnlc History of Medicine. No p reparation has ever performed such ma'volous cure*, or maintained so wide a repu tation, as AYKK'SCIIEP.UY PECTORAL, which is re cognized as the world's remedy for all disca.es of the throat and. luugs.
