Upon being called to order by the chairman of the Board, Dr. J. J. Ferrell was elected chairman of the meeting and John Tappmeyer secretary. The minutes of the last annual meeting were read and approved, and the chairman stated the purposes of the meeting, The cierK reported as casn on hand $720.03 in the teachers' fund, $84-25 incidental fund and $1100.28 in the building fund.

Warden, Boyd and Myers, Editor and Publisher of the Gascon ade County Republican, Owensville, Mo. Kind Editor and Publisher If you will allow me a small xpaee in your paper I'll try and tell you few things I saw on my trip out in the western country. After spending few days at Belton, Mo.. I started for Romero, Texas. I left Kaunas City, Maroh 12, at 10 p. m. and reached Romero the next day at 7 p. m Romero ia only a flag station situated on the Rock Wand railroad, 007 miles southwest of KauHsti City. It promises, however, in the future to be quite an important town. It has a fine location nnd a fine country naiTOund- ing it. Tbey just finished laying out the plot for the town the day we reached there. There is only one family living there now, tbey are Mexicans. When 1 got off the train and began io look around for a lodging place, and found nothing but the Mexicans there, and after taking a good look at them, I made no inquiry for a lodging house but decided at once it was too early to look for a lodging place, so I began to moye on. 1 learned from a passerby that 1 miles from there, there was a lodging bouse so I walked over there and stayed over night, and the uexi aay i came io Amistad with a fellow on a load of lumber. .Take the country from Kansas City to Romero, we find some fine looking country and we find some very rough looking country, The western part of Kansas, Okla uuma ana lexas, seem to be very sandy, especially Oklahoma. 1171. i . . . . . vuai wneat anu otuer stun J saw along the road seemed to look fine. Daylight overtook us at McPberson Kansas, so from Kansas City w r.i .... juci nerson, i uon t propose to say anything about the country for the simple reason I was in dreamland when I passed over it. Some of the country between Romero and Amistad is a flue country and some of it is very rough. We find a strip, about six or eight miles wide and no telling how long, wbieh is nothing but pure sand. - The sand along the road (we call tbem roads, the people out here call them trails) seems to be about six or eight inches deeo The Racket Store.

It grows a stalk about the size and length 'of our cabbage stalk and at the end of the stalk it forms a head just like the cabbage, only the head of the soap weed resembles a pineapple in most respects. We find, from the head of this weed, blades erowinc which resemble our common flag blades only much tougher and coarser. The Mexicans use this plant in mak ing some kind of oil they use. We find, growing on the best land, prairie and buffalo grass. Amistad is a small, new town located in a very beautiful place on the plains, about 16 miles from a railroad town.

Mi -William Havel ka, of near Bern, stopped in to see us Monday morning and told us of a large gray wolf he had seen early In the morning at his place. The wolf was ohaslng his chickens and geese and came up to within about 75 yards of where he was. He shot at it but the small, shot he had took no effect. Wohres are un common In this part of the country, this one probably straying from the hills farther south and west. Mr. John L. Bell died Sunday evening at his home at Japan. He was Duried Tuesday. To the Public. The following notice to the pub lic has been issued, to be posted In each waltlngroom, near the ticket window, in stations in Missouri where ticket offices are maintained: "On and after Wednesday, April 15, 1008, passengers who are not provided with tickets will not be permitted to enter passenger cars on trains leaving stations In Missouri where ticket offloes are maintained. Tickets must be shown to trainmen before passenger will be admitted to the cars." goods store, one hardware store, two blacksmith shops, one restaurant, one barber shop, and a hotel, which is not yet in operation. They have a church house and school house combined. They have no public school here, but have a subscription school. It is being taught by a young lady that lives near town and does not have to pay board. A teacher could not afford to pay board and tench their school for the simple reason that their salary is not as much as they have to pay for board. I understand next year they are going to take an enumeration of the children and then make an appropriation, then teachers' wages will be better. They have Sunday school every Sunday and preaching two and three times every Sunday. This town is called "The Preachers' Town" on account of so many preachers located around here. In the town and within a radius of four or five miles there arc only forty-three preachers living. When a stranger comes to this town the first question asked him is, "Are you a preacher?" Amistad has an altitude of between 4100 and 4200 feet. The temperature ranges from about 50 to 70 degrees during the dav. The nights get real chilly. I have been told that with the exception oi one nignt laRt summer most all the people slept under two blankets all summer. The sun seems to shine very warm here but on account of the dry, cool winds the heat is not noticed so much. The snow capped mountaius are about 75 miles west of us. About eight months ago there were only three or four families living around here but now there is a familj living on almost every quarter section of land. This country is being settled by people from almost every state in the Union, mostly though from the eastern states. They come ont here and homestead the laud. Tbey have an association here that looks after the land, that is in staking it off into farms. This association has a man called the locater, who takes the people that want to locate oyer the country and shows tbem the vacant lands. When they find a tract of laud that suits them, tbey file a claim on the land. Six months from the time you file claim on a piece of land you have to begin to live on it as an actual resident. You are required to live on the laud 14 mouths before you can prove up on the claim. It costs a person between $10 and ftO to locate out here. You have to pay the locater fc!5 for locating von. then you have to pay $10 to file claim then a few other minor exnenoes. The buildings the people put up here are nothing but Bhacks about 10x12 by 8 high or 15x20 by 9 or 10 high. 8ome of them live in dim-outs. All Casi or Sffffs. Hostetter & Co., In Brick North of Meat M'kt count maize they waut is just simply a little shack to shelter them for the time (14 months) they are required to stay here. As soon as they prove up on their claims they intend to go back to the states they came from. There are several families that came out here that seem to like the country so well they have de cided to make it their permanent home Those people have put up very good houses. It . is believed that most . all the people that have claims out here will like the country so well by the time the 14 months are up that they will really want to make it their future home. This is undoubtedly a good looking county but "Old Missouri looks good enough to me." The land around here is more or less sandy. the people didn't get here in time last year to put in crops, only a few of the very earliest settlers planted little corn, some kaffir corn and some milo maize. It produced a great deal of rough feed, but no grain, on ac- of being put in too late. Milo is a stalk just like the sngar cane in stalk and grain. This year's crop will tell the tale about what the land is. They are expecting largo crops if they get plenty of rain. The surface of the land looks dry and hard but it breaks up moist Most of the people use rod plows for breaking the sod. The sod that is broken up if allowed to lay for a day before it is dragged down becomes so dry and hard they can hardly do any thing with it until it rains. The horses that are used here are the hor ses that are gotten off the tancbes. A great many people use oxen instead of horses. The ladies out here use 'the long eared little mules." You can see four or nve girls in a bunch ridinfc, going across the prairies on their long eared mules. They seem to take their style of riding after the men in Missouri. There are very few farmers out here that hire hands. The farm hands get from $15 to $25 per month and board. Carpenters get from $2.50 to $3.50 per day. A person can buy some articles out here as cheap as you can in Missouri and other places. Lumber sells from $25 to $35 per 1000 ft. Meat sells from 10 to 12 per lb. The blacksmiih work is about as high as anything else. They charge 45 cents for sharpening a plow share and $1.00 for pointing one. Tbey claim they have to pav $1H and $20 per ton for coal and for that reason they have to charge so much for their work. It seems they get very little rain out here. The water they get for the house use and their stock is gotten from bored wells by a pump wmon is operated ny large windmills. They have to go from l"i0 to 200 feet before striking water. Tlicy cbargo 70 cents a foot for drilling a well! For fear you have more here than you can make out, I'll conclude by saying the mail system out here is very slow. They get mail here two times a week, Wednesdays and Saturdays. The mail is made up on Monday night at 7 o'clock and started off Tuesday at 8:30 a. m. and gets back Wednesday at 6 p. m., then it is made up Thursday at 7 p. m. and starts out Friday at 8:30 a. m. and gets back Saturday at 6 p. m. When the mail gets here on Wednesday and Saturday evenings, the crowd of people that frat her around the post office look ike a crowd at a big picnio or camp-meeting.Best wishes to the Republican and its readers, I remain Fraternally, William T.

The above is considered by an eminent authority, who writes in a .New York dally paper, as the finest prescription ever written to relieve Backache, Kidney Trouble, Weak Bladder and all forms of Urinary difficulties. This mixture acts promptly on the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys, enabling them to filter and strain the uric acid and other waste matter from the blood which causes Rheuma tism. Some persons who suffer with the afflictions may not feel inclin ed to place much confidence in this simple mixture, yet those who nave tried it say the results are simply surprising, the relief being effected without the slightest in- j jury to the stomach or other orgrns. mix some and give it a trial. It certainly comes highly recommended. It is the prescription of an eminent authority, whose entire reputation, it ia said, was established by it. A druggist here at home when asked stated that he could either supply the ingredients or mix the prescription for our readers, also recommends it as harmless. Would You Trade Your a Farm For a Good Hardware Business in Kansas? Village Election. The Village Election Tuesday passed off very quietly without friction of any kind. Police force W. T. Coppedge positively forbade any electioneering within 50 feet of the polls and no respecting or vote buying has been brought to light.
