IERRY SIMPSON DEAD.
Jerry Simpson passed over the "Dark
River" Monday morning, Oct. 23. His
last words werr "It has been a joko
heretofore; I am np against tile real de-
mon now, but everything is alright and
I am easy."
Jerry Simpson, in his lifetime, bore
the distinction of having addressed the
largest crowds of any man that ever
s;n>ke in Kansas. Always when it was
known that he would speak in the halls
of congress, every available foot of
standing room was taken.
His career is so well known, and re-
membered by aH who live in the west,
that it is unnecessary for us to remind
you of his many brilliant victories over
his political opponents in congress or
out. We remember one incideut that
took place at tile depot in Wellington,
Kans., during one of his campaigns
with Hon. Chester I. Long, whom he
defeated at the election a few days later,
which we have never seen in print, and
is given here merely to show his ready
wit powers. Mr. Long and some of his
friends were at the depot waiting for a
train east, when Jerry.and a half hun-
dred of his admirers, came down to see
him take the train to Medicine Lodge
- this happened a day or two before the
election. On seeing Jerry, a number of
Long's friends commenced to groan ami I
and cat call, when Jerry jumped upon a
baggage truck'and calmly said: "Geii-i
tlemen; it will not be long until the
the election and it will not be L o-n-g
affer the election." The "hooters" were
completely knocked out and maintained
a respectful silence until the arrival of
the train.
Mr. Simpson's estate is variously esti-
mated at fiom #1,560 to $11,000, while
his son, Lester, says that his New Mex-
ico holdings would bring $10,000 at a
foiced sale. Mrs. Simpson has decided
to purchase a home in Wichita as that is
where Mr. Simpson is buried. Ilis fu-
neral was conducted yesterday by the
Masonic lodges of Wichita and Medicine
Lodge. Mr. Simpson was a 32nd de-
gree Mason, Hundreds of letters and
telegrams of condolence have been sent
to ihe faithful little woman who has
shared the fortunes of her noble hus-
band and was with him every minute of
bis long sickness.
A postmortem showed that the doc- „ew nlerchants_
tors had diagnosed his disease correctly,
which was an enlargement of the main
artery leading away from the heart to
the throat and a hardening of all the
.Smaller arteries.
The least that can be said of him: lie
wis an upright, noble, honest man,
whom his friends loved, and his enemies
respected.

As an instance of what Oklahoma
will do for a man who is willing to
work, take the case of H. C. Blood of
I linger. Mr- Blood moved on his
claim there in Kebuary. 1902. and was
plumb broke at that time. They lived
in a tent for nearly two years and
part ol that time Mr. Blood was forced
to work his team without grain. He
now has a line farm, well fenced, and
stocked with cattle and horses. This
year's crops, with what stock he lias on
hand, it is estimated, will bring him
in $7,(mil. And two years ago lie was
living ill a tent. What's the matter
with Oklahoma?

•'Owing to my ill health. 1 will sell at
my residence, in township 19, range 18,
according to government survey, one
plush raspberry cow, aged 8 years. She
is of undoubted courage and gives
milk frequently. To a man who does
not fear death in any form she would
be a great boou. She is very much
attached to her present home by a log
chain, but will be sold to anyone who
will agree to treat her right. She is
onefourth Shorthorn andthree fourths
hyena. I will also throw in a double
barreled shotgun which goes with her.
In May she usually goes away for a
week or two aoid returns with a wobble
legged tall red calf. Her name is
Hose, I would rather sell her to non
resident."

It has been the hope of all farmers
that wheat pasture would be the best

the wheat was sown, the pasture is
going to be slim: but as it is cloudy
