Complie* with all requirements of the National Pure Food Law, Guarantee No. 2041, filed al Washington. .JBEMjAaMgaawß. \ f f Advice of the largest coffee dealers jjx y) in the world is always to buy the old- 9 fV-^sJ' Zfl fashioned Arbuckles’ ARIOSA Coffee in * the sealed packages. Don’t ask for a pound of Mocha and Java, or buy by the price, . ( for Coffee fluctuates and you cannot get the same coffee for the same priceaJFthe time — unless you pay too much for it Most of the so-called Mocha and Java Coffee is simply masquerading, and is not nearly as good coffee for you as Arbuckles’ ARIOSA, the blend of the Brazilian Coffees most suitable to the taste and health of American people. By the . . _ 5 looks there is no difference between roasted Java and Brazilian Coffees; many people drink Brazilian but pay for Java. . The principal difference is that Arbuckles costs you less. It is a mistake to believe that a high price guarantees quality. When you buy Arbuckles* ARIOSA Coffee, you get a full one pound package of die leading Coffee of die world. Its sales for 37 years are greater than die combined sales of all die other packaged coffees. By giving better Coffee for the money, we have built up a business exceeding die combined businesses of the tour next largest coffee firms in die whole world. If your dealer will not supply the genuine, write to arbuckle bros. n*w Y«k gw. ;

A BIG, RICH FERTILE COUNTRY Visits Several Decatur People Now Prospering in Kansas and Oklahoma. z Hutchinson, Kan., July 4, 1907. Dear Lew —I have promised to write to so many at home and my time is so occupied that I thought perhaps I had better write you, and you could either tell my friends what I say, or else publish the letter and let them read it. And you know too, it is fashionable for people abroad to write their observations and experiences, and sometimes their impressions of the country through which they pass. We left Decatur on the 19th of June, as 9:l2’p. m. and 'arrived at St. Louis, Mo., in time to catch the Chicago and Alton train for Kansas City, where we landed at 6:00 o’clock p. m. on Thursday evening. The Chicago and Alton is the best ballasted and best equipped road I ever traveled over. For miles it is ballasted with crushed rock and sprinkled with oil, so that their is no dust at all. The chair car and dining car service are fine and the prices are reasonable. We spent Thursday night at Kansas City and left there at 10:30 a. m., for Hutchinson, where we now are, arriving here at 6:00 p. m. , on Friday. We spent the night here and left at 8:30 for Kingman, to visit some friends. The city of Hutchinson is a city of; about 7,000, and formerly had many more. It has the largest salt factory in the country and is called the salt city. They have a street car system electric light, several fine hotels andthree railroads, ice plant and a riv-l er (the Arkansas-, which is dry half ( the year, and half dry the balance of the time. But I might add that thej river is no exception to the inhabitants of the place. At Kingman we met Ernest Eason, i who a number of our poeple will remember as Pierce’s clerk; also the husband of Minnie Bobo; Bernice Bobo, who married and lives in the; same city. Kingman is a “boom”, town with the boom gone. She had at one time about 8,000 people, a street i car system, several banks, a 'lot of - - .

nice dwellings and the greatest salt mines in the world, several large elevators, a mill for grinding grain with a capacity of 500 barrels per day. The mill, elevators, the banking buildings and the salt mines are still there, but the street cars, a large number of the houses and about 5,500 Os its former inhabitants are gone. It is surrounded with a beautiful and rich farming country, the wheat and corn and alfalfa looking fine. After spending three days here visiting relatives and friends I left Mrs. Erwlii behind and took a trip to almost the eastern end of the state, visited Wichita, where I met Mr. S. G. Humphries, who formerly ran the Burt house at Decatur. He is now owner and landlord at the Corey House, the largest hotel in the city. From Wichita I went to Cherryvale hear the eastern border of the state. From Cherryvale to Chanute, and from thence to Erie in Neosha county. Between Wichita and Cherryvale I passed through the great oil and gas territory of Kansas. The ap. pearance Os things are similar to the gas belt of its best days. At Cherryvalle the lead and zinc companies of Joplin, Mo., bring tifeir ore to be smelted, it being easier to haill the Ore than the coal or carVy the gas to the mines. I found the eastern part of Kansas very wet apd the crops all backward and the farmers badly discouraged. At Ere, Kansas, a town of 1,600 people, the county seat of Neosha I met J. Q. Stratton, a brother of Mrs. Charles Porter, of Geneva. He formerly practiced law in Ft. Wayne and as many will remember, was considered a very able lawyer. He came to Kansas twenty-three years ago and still lives where he first settled. He ■has the appearance of being prosperous. . . [■ From Erie, Kan., I went to Muskogee, I. T„ passing through he Cher- ' okefe and a part of the Chickasaw nations. I arrived at Muskogee at 19:00 p. m. Wednesday, June 26thl Met I there Frank France, Tom Corey, his partner, W. J. Bryan, Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, and a friend of mine from Frankfort, Indiana, who with his wife I was making a tour of the territory. Bryqn and Taylor were attending the i Chautauqua. Muskogee is. a fine city' | with abundance of wealth, hustle and niggers, there being about as many iof them as whites. This Clty'ltes at the . head of navigation of the Arkansas river, The country around being a rich farming country with; fair crops, but very wet, . ', , 1 It is a city, with population, all hustlers, property high i and stljl soaring and everybody mak. ing, plenty of money.; ten banks. and , trust companies ail full of money. i The United States court house and [jail is here, with plenty of business for both. The latter having about 160 prisoners, fifty or sixty of whom Bfoi . jtriaj.| Thq balance are for some one of the iminy in the catalogue of crimes—bootleggers (whiskey dealers-, Counterfeiting, larceny, etc. Thfey aye Indians,, nil :- gers, whites and< a mixture of all .< f thfenr.

; and just after dark, the city marshal s came up to the train and told them L to put up their guns. Three of the . men left the cqr arid started after > I the marshal. He did not stand on | ’ the order of his going, but took dpwn ! a dark street and was soon lost t,o , view. The men came back, and instead of coming into the car at the doqr . came in through the window:. A negro had attempted an assault on a . white girl at McAllister the night before and these men, who said they lived at that town, expressed , selves ,as .wishing qo be home to take part in the lynching that was sure to fellow, if they caught the ne- . gro. I left the train at Muskogee, and also the men. Nobody was killed or injured by them, as I riave heardThe country from the territory line . to. Muskogee is. as fine a country as i man ever looked at, but undeveloped. Small shacks for the. Indians the white settlers, some alfalfa m l * l plenty of corn. I saw 16,000 bushels of i corn piled on the ground at one station in the territory with no cars to ; transport it to market, all in open cribs or pens and some of it badly ; rotted. Muskogee was the headquarters t twenty years ago of the famous Dal- . ton gang of outlaws, also the Cooks i and Janeys, whose chief pastime then , was shooting headlights t off of .locomotives, lanterns out of. the hands Hos byakemen, mid up” trains, | robbing stores, killing Indians and such others as got in their way. They ‘ finally came to Coffeeville where they came fe grief October 5, 1892, where they tried to rob the Two banks at that place. . ' i When chased hy a mpb into an alley where they had stationed their I horses, one John J. Kloehr, a livery iman, and a “dead shot” picked off Bob and Grat Dalian and Pill Broadwell and. thus broke up the terrors of the southwest, who for mririy years was' a 'law unto himself. .' The same Kloehr was on July Ist of this year l| appointed by the mayor marshal of | Coffeyville, Kan: It is said thrit Bob. Dtilton, being. inortahy wounded, arid his left arm broken, laid his’ Winchester across his broken arm and “puinped” it empty arid died as the last shot was fired. 1 ’ ;; From Muskogee J syqnt McAlister, Jof which , and my other. observations and experiences of.

And while joy reigns ip pecatur, Ossian is jjubilant,.jfor it was Oscar F.

In both games the , boys had no trouble sjnash.ing out anything Way served up, but the Decatur outfield wonderfully fast and ate up everything that came out to them. In the afternoon the thrqe fielders had thirteen, chancep, some of yhlqh : they pulled off the fence or caught after long. runs. It was one of those cases where no mat: ter or how hard,the ball Is hit there was always some, one ,waiting in the right spot to receive it. . .’--I r? “*- U; ■? Decatur celebrated the Fourth by administrating to Bluffton a most thorough and polished cleaning at the Rational game, scoring two over, whelming victories by their fierce cannonading and ‘-‘rubbing” in one of their .(defeats by pulling it off right here before a big Bluffton crowd. Despite, their double Victory Decatur made; ,a very tame . Fourth of f . July celebration last night, and a er in the town not knowing the result of the game would have imagined that Decatur had lost. The crowds at both the inornlrig arid the afternoon games were very orderly and! visitors ’ from both citiesi were accorded the best .ipJE; treatment in the enemies territory. The games demonstrated that the two cities have got over the 'fighting pitch bf last season and’ chn now play ball as peacefully as wheri they are playing other cities.’ i ? r ’ -)Ui in •■ij r r ■ L .b- .f j Oscar Way’s feat of wiririfng twO’ garrihs in brie day for Decatur, Will' make him a strong rival with Tom Railing • 'ih ’ the affections bf Decatur fans, He probably 'will nbrir ’ rank ahead of thfe redoubtable Thonias.

Although he was’very wild at trines as the sum. mary will show; he' always managed, to pull but Os bad Tables, arid five scattered hits in each gafne was all he allowed.. Bluffton hit the ball hard, and twelve long flies Went to the outfield in the game at Decatur, but sensational fielding by Linderbeck and Bums killed drives that ortff.narily would have been hits.
