COLBY WRITES AN INTERESTING LETTER TELUNG ABOUT TEXAS. Death, #e are told, generally comes as a eweet relief to a poor sufferer and this very saying can be applied to the de­ parture of Mrs. Peter Wagner, who passed away at her home just east of the river last Friday afternoon, alter eight long weary years of suffering. Al- tho not down in bed for eight years the deoeased had been confined to her home for this length of time. Miss Barbara Jacobs was born in Trier, Germany, September 10, 1888, making her nearly seventy-three years of age at the time of her death. In 1865, in company with her parents and family she crossed the great sea of water, coming direct to Johns- burgh, 111. Abont a year after her ar­ rival in this oountry she was united in marriage to Peter Wagner, the cere­ mony taking place at Johnsburgh. To the union were born ten children, three of these preceding her to the great beyond. The deceased children are Mathiae, who passed away November 80,1890; Niok, called when only three days of age, and Peter, who died at the age of nine. The living children, who with the husband and tather are left to mourn, are as follows: Mrs. Hubert Weber, of Yolo; Mrs. Nick Pitcen, Hope, S. D.; Mrs. John Wortz, McHenry; Michael, of Volo; Frank, of Spring Grove; Martin and Henry of McHenry. The deceased moved to McHenry some ten years ago, previens to which time she had resided at Johnsburgh, I1L, Chippewa Falls, Wis., Chicago and Volo, 111. The funeral was held from St Mary's Catholic church, in this village, at 10:80 o'olock Monday morning, the funeral being in charge of the Ladies' Sodality of which the deceased was a member. Rev. M. W. Barth performed the last sad rites and a large number of mourn­ ing relatives and friends followed the remains to their last resting place in St Mary's oemetery. CARD OF THANKS.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER, McHenry, 111., Dear SirIt may interest some of The Plaindealer readers to learn of that section of Texas, commonly known as the Pan-Handle, through the pen of an old McHenryite. Our attention was called to this coun­ try some time ago, by the selection of the Capitol Syndicate Co. of lands in this part of Texas, in payment for erecting the capitol building at Dallas, and later by a friend located at Here­ ford. So we decided to investigate the many claims of our friend for that part of Unole Sam's domain, and were able to assure him that he had not over­ drawn the country at all-- in fact, the half had not been told. Hereford is a wide-awake town of about 3500 inhabitants, composed of people from eastern Texas, Missouri and Tennessee, with a sprinkling of people from the North and East. There are four churches, a good graded school, and the finest college buildings in Northwest Texas, known as "The Pan- Handle Christian College." Every kind of business is well repre­ sented, with one exception--there are no saloons in Texas, which plainly shows the character of its inhabitants at the present time, as well as those likely to locate there in the future. Men of profanity, drinking and gam­ bling proclivities are not given cordial welcome by the oitusens of Hereford, and during a stay of ten days on the main street of the city, I was unable to discover the least trace of rough front­ ier life. Such conditions muBt appeal to the right sort of people seeking homes in a new country. There seems to exist a "code of honor" inherent in the people, not appreciable elsewhere, which sort of restores one's faith in humanity. So much for the city of Hereford, which six years ago was sim ply a portion of the vast plains sur­ rounding it Imagine if yon can a great sea of land with the horiaon touching the en­ tire circumference, without a hill, tree, stump or stone to break the view. Wherever you look the land seems to be a little higher than where you are. The resemblance to the ocean is still further observed by the windmills rising igainst the sky like masta of a ship at sea. We were told that the Capitol Syndi­ cate Co. (J. V. Farwell of Chicago) re­ ceived three and one-hslf million acres of land in the Pan-Handle, in payment for building the state capitol building. We were privileged to ride over a large portion of this land in an auto owned by the Geo. G. Wright Co., of Miune- apalis and Kansas City, who control 500,000 acres in the very heart of the tract. This land is fenced with barb wire, and the story goes that in plowing the fire guard Mr. Farwell put his plow into the ground at one corner of the fence and never took it out for 75 miles. After a day's lide over the land, part of the time at the rate of a mile a minute, I can readily accept the statement. This land is so gently rolling that the "barn floor" comparison applies most aptly, with here and there a slight de­ pression, causing miniature lakes to dot the surface during the rainy season, and around which the first feed for stock appears, known as "lake hay." Whichever way we went the soil was of a rich, dark chocolate, from two to four feet deep, varying so little in ap­ pearance that one might feel safe in closing his eyes and choosing at ran­ dom, so far as the soil is concerned. In fact, I was told that the good soil was practically all alike, the only thing to be considered was the depth to water. Milomaizo, kaffir corn and millet are grown extensively, while the altitude and climate must make these plains a natural wheat country. We were shown a sample of winter wheat grown by an Ohio farmer that counted seventy- five stalks to the kernel and three and four grains to the mesh. Dark green fields of alfalfa proVe the adaptation of this product and the fact that hog cholera is absolutely unknown opens the way to a competence with little exertion. Fruit trees do remarkably wejl, near­ ly every farm home having an orchard of apples, pears, plums, apricots, cher­ ries, grapes and small fruitB; and all kinds of garden stuff grows to perfec­ tion in quality and'marvelous in siae.' Underneath this country, at a depth varying from 30 to 300 feet there seems to be a huge lake of the very best water, free from alkali, and soft enough for all household purposes. At every, wind­ mill we found is large reservoir, or lake as they are called, made by digging a basin and banking it several feet, into which the water flows with unceasing regularity. Pipes lead from the lowest point of these reservoirs to different tanks for stock and for garden and fruit Irrigation, if necessary, and in­ sures an abandant yield. Most of these lakes are enrronnded by black locust and other trees that grow rapidly, and several of them were stocked with black bass and other fish, making it possible for the owner to order his Friday din­ ner from his own fish pond. While I have everything commend­ able to say of the native Texan as men, I must say they are not farmers by mat­ ure or experience. Most of them have earned their living in the saddle, and to get right down to tilling the soil looks like hard work to them and is really considered not worth the effort The Pan-Handle of Texas needs workers- young men of intelligence and educa­ tion in agricultural pursuits. Nature has done her part in making these plains a great region for the products of the soil, and for cattle, sheep and hogs it is unsurpassed. The opportunity for buying good land cheap in the United States is fast diminishing, and as this section is both good and cheap I feel very anxious to secure some of it and spread the news to others not acquainted with the coun­ try. We are greatly indebted to thereat estate firm of Graves, Elllston & Co. of Hereford for reliable information re­ garding these lands, and any communis cation addressed to them will receive prompt attention. By permission of Gilbert Bros, of McHenry, I will leave on exhibition at their store for a week or ten days, samples of products and soil gathered during my ten days' visit, and will be glad to give further information in re­ gard to this country not covered in this letter, provided self-addressed and stamped envelope is sent to Douglas Park station, Chicago. 111. MRS. S P. COLBY. ARE YOU ONE OF 'EM ? Are Im Helping the Rich ff do Ton Patronise the Poor? Here is a question which every loyal citizen should ask herself or himself. If you have been in the habit of giving your money to the capitalist just stop and think one moment and you will see where you are doing wrong. By trading with the Chicago cata­ logue houses or department Btores you are spending your money where it will never come back to yon. On the other hand, by trading at home the money is continuously kept in circulation and the same dollar may come back to you hundreds of times. Did you ever stop and think of this? After reading this article, stop and give it your earnest consideration. After doing so, and you still see that you are doing the right thing by trading outside of your home town, keep right on until you get soaked good and plenty. Remember this, no one ever got rich by giving their goods away. When the catalogue comes from your mail order house, draw an easy chair to the table where the light will shine full upon the page, and put on your glasses, that no bargains may escape your eye. What a wonderful book it is, to be sure! Wonderful for what it does not contain, as well as what it does. You will miss some things you would be glad to see. Where is their offer to pay cash or ex­ change goods for yonr wheat oats, corn, beans, butter, eggs and hay? How much do they pay for oattle, sheep and hogs, f. o. b. at the depot? How much tax will they pay to sup­ port your schools and educate your children,--for improving roads and bridges, the support of the poor of the county, for the expense of running the business of the township, county and state? On what page is their offer to con­ tribute money to the church? What line of credit will they extend to you when your crops are poor and money gone,--when, through illness and misfortune, you are not able to send 'cash with order" for your groceries, clothing, farm tools, crockery, stoves and ranges? Where is their offer to contribute to your entertainments next year? In short, will they do anything to provide a market for what you have to sell and thereby keep up the value of your estate? Will they do anything for social, church, school or government support or do they take your dollar out of the community with no Tetnras ex­ cept the goods you buy ? Think this over carefully, then call on your local dealer, where you can see and examine the «?oods before you buy them, and by comparison of prices and quality you will see that you can do as well or better at home, thereby helping to build up your own local town. Philip Sutton Dead. Phillip Sutton died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Adelbert Wheting, on Monday evening, after an illness of about one month. Mr. Sutton, it will be remembered, was struck by a gravel train while crossing the North-Western tracks in this village on Wednesday afternoon, April 18, the effects of which last Monday proved f *tal. Mr. Sutton was eeveuty-one years of age and a highly respected citizen. The funeral took place from St. Patrick's Catholic chprch, in this village, on Wednesday morning of this week, Rev. P. Bourke officiating, and the remains were laid to rest by the side of his wife, who preceded him in death some months ago. Was Wasting A war. '*1 had been troubled with kidney dis­ ease for the last five years," writes Robert R. Wattfc of Salem, Mo. "I lost flesh and never felt well and doctored with a leading physician and tried all remedies suggested without relief. Fin­ ally I tried Foley's Kidney Cure and less than two bottles completely cured me and I am now sound and well." During the summer kidney irregularities are often caused by excessive drinking or being overheated. Attend to the kidneys at once by using Foley's KiAaey cure. G. W. Besiey. EXCHANGE CLEANINGS.

The postoffice department has decided that children going to and from school shall not be allowed to get their par­ ents' mail, so do not blame the post­ master if your children are refused the mail. The postoffice habit among the children has become a nuisance, both to the public and the postmaster, and the department has done wisely in making this decision. It is reported that a Williams Bay business man was just dying to hip a Delavan editor--W. C. Dean of the Del- avau Enterprise--last Monday night. Now he wishes he bad not tackled the job, for the editor had too long a reach for so short a man. It is to be hoped he will see things a little plainer in a few days. It is well to always let the other fellow whip the editor. The tar that is contained in Bee's Lax­ ative Honey and Tar is harmless.
