after it was shot. The lease on 160 acres one-half mile

This is a business proposition, conducted by busi- | NN
ness men in a business way. The small stockholders or
will be treated exactly like the large ones.
People here in Kansas who are familiar with the
conditions of our property are buying stock at 10 cents
a share, and as soon as a few thousand more shares are sold, work will be begun
upon well No. 1, after which it is very probable no stock can be had as low as 10
cents.
For further particulars write to the undersigned, who is treasurer of the com-
pany and its heaviest stockholder, and to whom all remittances should be made.

We were sorry to learn of the death
of Mrs. Eli Hershberger and Mrs. M,
Knecht, each of whom was a faithful,
noble and devoted mother and wife, a
blessing to all who knew them intimate-
ly.
The real estate market and building
operations in this city have been very
active all summer, more so, we are told,
than any previous summer season for
being done in every part of the city.
and development a rich and fertile re-
gion, which has been dormant, cwing
to lack of transportation facilities. It
will be of great benefit to this city in
a financial and business way, and will
put us two hundred miles nearer to the
east. It will be ready for operations
about January lst, 1905.
Living expenses are a little higher
here than they were at Salisbury, but
no higher, I presume, than they are in
cities in the east of the same size.
Wages are perhaps better. Ordinary
labor, $1.75 to $2.50, and mechanics of
the various trades get from $3.50 to
$5.50 per day.
On Aug. 13th we saw very bright
flashes of lightning and heard a number
of loud reports of thunder, and enjoyed
a very nice refreshing shower which
continued for several hours, and we
have had a very fine rain since then.
So, you see, the unusual things are
liable to happen, even in California.
Vacation will soon be over, and the
children will resume their literary
work in the University of Southern
California. This is a good institution,
has a strong faculty and does excellent
work.
The boys have been working most of
the time during vacation. Ernest took
a four days’ trip to Catalina, whieh is
an island about thirty-five miles out in
the ocean. Robert went to Matilija
Springs, up in the mountains, for a
week to have a good time. The rest of
us have been to the beaches during the
summer, several times, for a change,
but with all our persuasive powers we
cannot induce “little Maude” into the
placid waters of the Pacific to take a
“dip.”
I am sure Roosevelt will have Cali-
fornia’s vote in the next electoral col-
lege, and feel very confident that we
will have four years more of Repub-
lican rule.
Mr. Editor, you will please change
