Letter From Kansas.
MCPIIERSOX, KAX., MAY 19, 1881.
MESSRS. EDITORS :—I have spent now
nearly two years inKansasaud during that
time have traveled over a large pait of
Eastern and Central Kansas, and what I
write in y mshort letter to your worthy
paper will be the conclusions I have
reached by my observations. Kansas has
been well advertised through the East
ern press, and many truths told aud ma
ny falsehoods. Actual experience with a
view to df> justice to Kansas and all con
cerned, will be my aim in this letter.
Kansas is justly and properly termed a
great agricultural State, having an undu
lating surface, rich soil and a genial cli
mate, subject to drouths and other ca
lamities that visit other and older States
of our country. To say that wc have
more frequent drouths would be saying
what is not true, as experience and his
tory will prove. lam now speaking ol
the Eastern and Central parts of the
State where cultivation is general. The
record which has been carefully kept,
shows a steady increase of rain-fall as
general settlement and cultivation moves
on west. The use of the plow and the
growing of timber does have an influence
that can not be gainsayed or denied, in
that direction.
Western Kansas, or that portion of the
state west of the 100 th meridian, is as
yet very uusafe for settlement and I
would not advise any man who thinks of
making the west his future home to take
any chances, from its altitude and from
its near approach to those arid plains in
Eastern Colorado. This season is an ex
ception as wheat and corn looks very
promising throughout all that section.
Eastern and Ceutral Kansas never look
ed more promising at this season of the
year, than now. While we had a cold,
long winter, with considerable snow, for
this climate, yet when spring came,warm
sunshine and gentle showers accompa
nied it,and vegitation of all kinds is some
weeks in advance of last season at this
date. Wheat and corn, the great staples
of Central Kansas, promise an abundant
harvest. Wheat was supposed to be
pretty seriously damaged in early spring
by the severity of the winter,but the ear
ly spring together with the rain fall has
forced the growth of wheat beyond the
most sanguine expectations of those
mostly interested. Now as to MePher.
5 01) county, the one I am most interested
in. We have a larger acreage of wheat
than ever before, sown this season and
the same with corn and oats. The pres
ent indications are good for the largest
receipts from that industry that has ever
been realized in our county. The farm
ers are hopeful, which gives life and vim
to ail industries. The present growth of
our embryo city is an indication of an
increasing faith in capitalists that, sur
rouning the city,within the county is a
rich and frugal class or farmers. With
our present railroad facilities together
with the promise we have of larg agricul
tural receipts giving confidence to men
of means we shall make a rapid growth
again this summer. New homes are
looming up all over the city. Drs. Day
and Murphy, and O. Heggelrond have
the cellar dug, where another large brick
block will soon be completed. Three
large brick blocks were built the past
season, and several more will be put up
during this season. The contract for
building a twelve or fifteen thousand dol
lar school house is about being made.
The school house is to be completed for
the fall term of school.
I still insist that Eastern ahd Central
Kansas is full of promises to young men
of energy, who expect to make the W°' fc
rheir future home. IfayouDg mau can
come here with §SOO or §I,OOO, he cou do
better than in any part of the couulry I
ever visited. Hi must come here,roll up
his sleeves and go to work, and success
is bevoiul a doubt. Too many come lieie
without money expecting to live without
much effort, (which is a sad mistake)
get liomeeick and go back disgusted with
the country that wont furnish them a liv
ing without work. They return East (if
they can) aud cannot say enough against
Kansas. In conclusion I will say that 1
purpose writing a few letters for your
readers perusal and say what 1 kuow to
be facts as to the country and its outlook.
If any of the readers of your worthy pa
per come west and visit Mcpherson coun
ty, we will extend to them the hand of
friendship aud show them as line a coun
ty of farming land as you ever visited.

This remedy is something new, both as to name
and composition. This is one of the wonders of the
world. This Syrup, 1 claim, is better and more
effective than any other ever offered to the ople of
America or any other country, and what 1 say of
this I can prove, This Syrup, like the Pills, is
harmless and safe. It contains no opium or other
narcotic poison, like the most Syrup, and is not dis
agreeable to take. Any child will take it. And it
will cure any and all inflammations arising from
Cold. It is superior fo all others in every respect
and especially for the following reasons :
*lst- It will cure Croup every time.
2d. It will cure Inflammation of the Lungs.
