A Similar Case Will Come Before the Supreme Court Next Week----Will Be Watched With Deep Interest. The supreme court of this state has passed on a similar case as that of the Kansas City separate high school question which will come up before the this august body next week in the case of William Rambo vs. Joe Larrabee et al in the 67th Kansas, page 634, where is found the syllabus of the court and the opinion of Judge Cunningham and concurred by all the justices. THE SYLLABUS. 1. Constitutional Law—Laws of a General Nature: The first clause of section 17, article 2, of the constitution, which is, "All laws of a general nature shall have a uniform operation throughout the state," is mandatory upon the legislature. 2. Uniform Operation of General Law: A law of a general nature which does not have uniform operation throughout the state is unconstitutional and void. 3. When Either a General or a Special Law May Be Enacted: If the object to be accomplished by a law is in its nature special, either a general or a special law may be enacted, as the legislature may decide. 4. Whether General or Special,a Question for the Courts: Whether a law is general or special in its nature is a question for the courts, and not for the legislature. 5. General Law Defined-Class Legislation: An act, to have a uniform operation throughout the state, need not affect every individual, every class, or every community alike. It is competent for the legislature to classify and adapt a law general in its nature to a class, but such classification must be a natural and not an arbitrary or ficticious one, and the operation of such general law must be as general throughout the state as are the genera therein provided for. 6. Criminal Appeals—Act of 1903 Void: Chapter 390, Laws of 1903, entitled "An act concerning criminal appeals in counties containing more than 65,000 inhabitants, in certain cases," is general in its nature, and as it does not have a uniform operation throughout the state it is unconstitutional and void. The above case was brought to compel the county officials to comply with an act of the legislature, the brief being written by Attorney B. S. Smith, assistant county attorney of Wyandotte county, who is an able lawyer and a leader of the Negro race. The supreme court decided every point at issue, and the same points are involved in this school case. The opinion of Judge Cunningham follows: By chapter 390, Laws of 1903, entitled "An act concerning criminal appeals in counties containing more than 65,000 inhabitants, in certain cases," it is provided that any person who has been, or who shall hereafter be, convicted of murder or manslaughter in any county containing more than 65,000 inhabitants, who files with the clerk of the court in which said person was convicted in an audited setting forth that he believes that he has a just cause for appeal, and that by reason of his poverty he is unable to pay the stenographer for a transcript of the testimony and record, and who satisfies the judge of the court that he is unable to pay for said transcript and record, shall be entitled to have such record prepared without any expense to himself and the costs thereof shall be assessed to the county. Prior to the passage of this act plaintiff herein was convicted of murder in the second degree in the court of common pleas of Wyandotte county, and after its passage applied to the defendant, the stenographer of that court, for a transcript of the testimony and record, making a showing of his inability to pay for the same, as provided for in the act. The stenographer, doubtful of the constitutionality of the act, refused to comply with the request, and thereupon this action in mandamus was brought in this court. Upon its first submission, the only question raised was that indicated in the per curiam opinion reported in 72 Pac. 225. Thereafter, upon its request, the county of Wyandotte was made a party, as being the real party in interest, and a rehearing of the questions involved was granted. Counsel for the county now urge the invalidity of this act for the reason that it is special, class and partial legislation, and as such condemned by the spirit of the bill of rights and the terms of the constitution. With the development of the idea of self-government, there came its necessary corollary, equal rights under the law. This corollary had a comparatively slow development and recognition, and it was the almost universal custom in the earlier legislative history of the states to carve out from the body of citizenship special individuals or classes and to grant to them, by the enactment of special laws, privileges or immunities which have been, in all justice, accorded by general law to all those of the class to which the favored ones belonged. To meet this evil, there came to be engrafted into the later constitutions of nearly all of the states provisions directed in varying terms against it. In our own constitution these issues were met and principles concreted in section 17 of article 2, which reads as follows: "All laws of a general nature shall have a uniform operation throughout the state; and in all cases where a general law can be made applicable, no special law shall be enacted." "The test of the generality of a law adopted is that it shall embrace all and exclude none whose condition and wants render such legislation equally appropriate to them as a class. It is also equally well settled by decisions of our courts that, although population may be made the basis of classification in statutes relating to municipal bodies, such a classification cannot be made the means of evading the constitutional interdict of local or special laws. The question whether any particular statute is local or special must be determined not upon its compliance with a legislative classification, but upon whether, having regard to the character of the legislation and the limitation upon it contained in the act, the statute is or is not a general law as defined by the courts."—60 N. J., L. 482, 525, 38 Atl. 449, 64 Am. St. Rep. 600. "A general law, as the term is used in this constitutional provision, is a public law of universal interest to the people of the state, and embracing within its provisions all the citizens of the state, or all of a certain class or classes of citizens. It must relate to persons and things as a class, and not to particular persons or things of a class. It must embrace the whole subject, or a whole class, and must not be restricted to any particular locality within the state."—2 N. Dak. 82, 49 N. W. 318, page 93. In the same case the court ruled further [page 94] : "The legislature has power to classify persons and subjects for the purpose of legislation, and to enact laws applying specially to such classes, and while the laws thus enacted operate uniformly upon all members of the class they are not vulnerable to the constitutional inhibition under consideration. But this power of the legislature is circumscribed. It is not an arbitrary power, waiting the whim of the legislature. Its exercise must always be within the limits of reason, and of a necessity more or less pronounced. Classification must be based upon such differences in situation, constitution or purposes between the persons or things included in the class and those excluded therefrom as fairly and naturally suggest the propriety of, and necessity for, different or exclusive legislation in the line of the statute in which the classification appears." We feel sure that there will be no question raised that the act in question is general in its nature. Evidently the legislature so thought for it is couched in general terms. We are thus brought to the question whether it has a uniform operation throughout the state, within the meaning of these words in the constitution. We answer this question in the negative. It applies to a given class within but one county. It does not afford relief to those of the same class in any other portion of the state. No reason can be shown justifying this discrimination. The classification upon which it is sought to be justified is one of population, but, as applied to the matter involved, such classification is an arbitrary one, hence invalid. We do not mean to hold that a classification for any purpose based upon population would be invalid. For a great many purposes, such a classification would be most reasonable and natural, but for the classification here attempted it is not. Indeed, it is very apparent that the classification attempted was only for the purpose of avoiding the constitutional inhibition. The court takes judicial notice that Wyaudotte county is the only one in the state affected, it being the only one having the specified number of inhabitants. But were there many more affected, the condition would not be changed, for the law is general in its nature and must have uniform operation throughout the state. Because it does not, it is partial, denies the equal protection of the law to all, and is invalid under section 17, article 2, of the constitution. All the justice concurring. In declaring the above act of the legislature to be null and void, it is certainty that the Kannan City high school case will meet a fate similar, as the cases are similar. NUMBER 43. Senators, Congressmen, County Officials and Politicians Refuse to Indorse Him for a Second Senator Long called a meeting of the friends of U. S. Attorney J. S. Dean and Attorney Harry Bone to tell him who should be the next U. S. attorney. Politicians and fixers came from all parts of the state. At the wind-up, Harry Bone had far the best of the fight, and will be named to succeed Dean. The boys did not come with one fixed purpose, but several. The next move was to decide on a successor to Governor E. W. Hoch. Several small caucuses were held, and it was the unanimous opinion that Hoch was not satisfactory to the party and must go. Who is to be the man was not fully decided upon. Hornady, Creech and Dave Hanna were there, and they all looked good to the boys Keep your eye on them. Hoch had only about a half dozen supporters out of about three hundred state senators, representatives of the lower house, congressman, judges, county officials, and county chairmen, who all say Hoch must go. The reason given was that he was trying to inject dead issues into the party. Prohibition and resubmission are dead issues. The party settled that years ago, satisfactory to the prohibitionists and whiskeyites. They gave the drug stones legal rights to sell whiskey, which satisfied the drinking element, and knocked the saloons to please the prohibs. All are trying to obey the law. There are no saloons and yet no one has to go thirsty. Now for Hoch to announce that the laws are being violated and to charge every county official in the state with being dishonest and not enforcing the prohibitory law, has brought indignation upon himself, and these officials are going to rebuke him at the polls. He is the first governor to charge his party with insincerity. They say he has broken faith and is playing into the hands of the Democrats and prohibs. It is also claimed that he will defeat the party if allowed to continue on dead issues; that it is dangerous to keep such an official at the head of such a grand old party in a grand old state like Kansas. If he is nominated on platform of dead issues he will meet defeat, as the grand old party moves forward and not backward as Hoch would have it. If Hoch is nominated prohibition will again be placed in the platform. This is what Hoch, Dolly and Stubbs want. Those who stand for party success say, "Away with these inexperienced leaders!" The machine says it, the boss busters say it. Not a single congressman or U. Not a single congressman or U. S. senator will declare for Hoch. Long was asked and would not say. The fifth district declared for Creech, the second and third for Hornaday, the seventh and eighth for Jewett. The sixth is holding David Hanna in reserve and may run him for congress. Reeder is not giving the party good service. Look out! Get in the band wagon. NICK CHILES. Local and Personal. St. Simon's Guild will meet Monday night at Mrs. R. Buckner's on West Eighth street.

This irritation produces pain in the head, and the turbulent nerve current sent to the stomach causes nausea, vomiting. This is sick headache, and is dangerous, as frequent and prolonged attacks weaken the brain, resulting in loss of memory, inflammation, epilepsy, fits, dizziness, etc. Allay this stormy, irritated aching condition by taking Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills. They stop the pain by soothing, strengthening and relieving the tension upon the nerves not by paralyzing them, as do most headache remedies. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills do not contain opium, morphine, chloral,cocaine or similar drugs. "Sick headache is hereditary in my family. My father suffered a great deal, and for many years I have had spells that were so severe that I was unable to attend to my business affairs for a day or so at a time.

PHARMACY, 732 Kansas Ave. KAN8A8. ORIKULTU Subcell for Fruit Trees. On the subsoll depends a great deal. The tree that is planted over an impervious subsoll may do well if it is on a side-hill that will permit the water to run off through the soil that dies above the subsoll. But on other kinds of land the subsoll, if impervious, will cause the trees to grow slowly and bear fruit lightly. Bad drainage and impervious subsols largely go together. We have seen land that was frinkle on top and down a little way was composed of a layer of stones and clay so closely intermixed that it almost seemed that a great tree had melted them and they had run together. If such subsoll cannot be improved it is better to put the fruit trees in some other place. The most way to improve the subsoil is by drainage. That lovers the water table in the soil in winter and lets the frost in to pulver so the ground. Where the land is un drained the water table protects all the soil below it from the action of frost. We have known of clay soils through which the drains were dug to a depth of four feet. For a year or two it did not seem to make much difference with the general character of the soil, for the frost had not had time to work. But after the frost for two or three winter had, got in to the soil the whole character of the ground seemed to be changed. For the growing of apple trees especially it is best to select land where the subshell is already in right condition, so that the roots may go down several feet if necessary. This makes it easy for the tree to send its roots deeply and to get down into a moist layer of soil. Trees in such locations stand brouh well and show green leaves when all things else seem to be being brown with drouth. Leaving the Tree to Nature. Every once in awhile we find a man that believers in leaving fruit trees alone, permitting nature to do as she wishes to with them. He generally says that the sprouts on trees, especially the water sprouts should not be cut off. We think that if this man had to raise grapes he would get very few of them Natur does not have to be fed and clothes and therefore is not concerned with increasing the fruitfulness of trees and plants beyond the point where they will propagate themselves. But man has greater needs and forces the tree and plants to stop producing in one direction and go to producing in another. The great fruitfulness of trees cared for by man is merely due to the diversion of growth forces from one direction to another. A tree that is planted and cared for by man does not take in more nourishment than does another tree that is left to the direction of nature. But the nourishment that is taken in is made to go into the formation of things man can eat rather than into the formation of wood and leaves, which he canned eat. The Creator has placed in the hands of man the power of directing the processes of nature to a considerable extent. Man prunes a tree only to make it expend its energies in the fruit buds and so gives him more fruit. We should not leave this thing to nature, for in the main nature cares nothin; for us. There is no moral reason why man should follow the leadings of nature. His own intelligence is not a thing to be lightly set aside. Garden Pointers In removing the tops before storing be careful not to cut too closely. Decay might result. Put the beets, parsnips, carrots, etc. in a cool cellar in boxes with sand and moist earth between them. The above way is especially suited for cabbage and turnips. Apples, too, can be kept well by the method. Calery in process of blanching is less likely to decay if the leaves are exposed to the air and sunlight in mild weather. Loss frequently occurs from too close covering. A mulch of manure on the raspberry patch is good for next season's crop, but it should not be so heavy near the plants as to furnish a harbor for field mice, beneath which they can dig down and eat the roots. This is a good time to sow some lettuce seed in the cold frame and start a few bunches of parsley in the frame or the kitchen window. It will not be much trouble to arrange for a good supply of fresh vegetables in the winter. Bees Useful to Farmers. The great value and usefulness of the common honey bee on the farm has been tersely put by Prof. W. P. Hedrick of the agricultural college of Michigan. He says: The fruit grower who complains of bees is an ungrateful wretch. At best fair exchange is no robbery, but the bees take nothing. A crop of honey removes no fertility from the soil, no substance nor flavor from the fruit, nor even the fragrance from the flower. Multitudes of bees may store their hives with "choicefully culled sweets" from your orchard, and you may take it and feast yourself on the apple blossom flavored honey, or you may sell it for dollars and cents, yet neither your trees nor your farm is the loser! one penny's worth. If the bees take a little toll from the fruit, what of it? Should they not be repaid for officiating at the nuptials of your fruit blossoms. But do they take toll? Mrs. A. W.

J.R.Lytle & Son, 920 Kansas Av LIVE STOCK Good Feed Rack. Last spring we published a description of a feeding rack to be made with or without trough, which plans were furnished us by a subscriber whose patron on the rack had expired and who had no further use for the plans. Mr. I-ra I. Nixon, a prominent stockman of Dewitt county, Illinois, writes concerning this plan as follows: "I have added a trough all around the rack floored to the outside of posts and used places 1½ feet by 8 inches nailed on out side of posts, which catch what would waste if the trough was not there. I have built mine of 3x4's where this man used 2x4's for posts, which makes it very strong. I have used oak lumber, and I think I have the best rack I ever naw ior shock corn, straw, hay, or corn, as ear corn or ground feed can be fed all around in the trough, which is forty two feet long and large enough to feed a car load of cattle. If built with 3x6's you will be compelled to use one inch longer bolts than this man has in his rack where the 3x6's are bolted together. My rack has 3x6' for the bottom beaten full width of rack and one on each end to hold the floor. I have used 1½x6-inch stuff plates instead of 3x6, and placed them eight instead of six inches apart. "I am feeding cotton seed meal with ground cob meal and will give you my results when cattle are shipped out. I am feeding 100 head, and I now have cattle do better or look nicer." Any changes in the original plan will of course necessitate corresponding changes in the bill of material, but as originally planned and as shown in the out the following materials are required for the rack sixteen feet long: Two pieces 2x8 16 feet long; 8 pieces 1x8, 14 feet; 4 pieces 2x4, 16 feet; 2 pieces 2x4, 14 feet; 1 piece, 2x4, 12 feet; 2 pieces 1x6, 16 feet; 5 pieces 2x6, 14 feet; 9 pieces 1x12, 16 feet; 1 piece 1x12, 14 feet; 56 pieces, 1x8, 6 feet; 4 wood screws, 8 inches long; 4 bolts %x10 inches; 4 bolts %x7 inches; 16 bolts, %x5 inches; 9 bolts %x2 inches; 8 bolts %x4 inches; 8 pounds 8-penny wire nails; washers for all bolts; 4 pounds 10-penny nails. —Wallace's Farmer. Working Brood Mares. Some of the leading horse breeders of the country never put their breed mares in harness. They provide exercise in other ways in order to keep the stock in vigorous health. As a rule these breeders have extensive grass paddocks, into which the mares are turned for several hours each day throughout the winter season. Horse breeders who neither work their mares nor turn them out daily invariably get a small proportion of increase. Some foals are lost immediately, and others are born so weak that they die soon afterward. Most horse breeders, especially those of long experience, prefer that mares in foal should have regular exercise in the form of light work, but jerking and straining should be avoided under all circumstances. For best results it is a good plan to use three horses for work that would be required of two under ordinary circumstances. This is not done at an additional expense of one-third, because three horses will do more work than two, if the speed alone is considered. Then it often happens that plows and cultivators may be set on a tach or two deeper and the extra work thus accomplished is worth a great deal, although it may not show on the surface. A man can drive three horses faster than two and rest less at the end of the row. Using Good Rame- While looking over some large stocks in Central South Dakota we find too many who do not appreciate the use of a first class ram. We have recently seen a bunch of 600 ewes whose lambs alone would have brought at least $500 or more, had a good pure bred ram beer used. Feeders do not want them at hardy any price and the ewe lambs are not at to keep as breeders. When one looks at these things from any point of view, it is a puzzle to know why so many sheep raises continue to carry on the business in such a careless manner. A good even lot of lambs are always in good demand, while poor ones are not wanted at all. Northwestern Agricultural. Selection of Stock. A medium sized male with good fair sized females of good constitutional vigor and mature age will do far better than the largest males with the smallest females. The wise farmer always selects the very best corn or grains of all kinds for seed, equal care should be given the selection of breeding stock in nurseries. The best raised on the farm should be kept for producers and the fact should be kept in mind that turkey hens of the best quality in their second or third year of laying make the best producers. The medium sized, well formed hens that have good strong bone and constitutional vigor are the ones to select for breeders — Walhea's Farmer. FOURTEENTH ANNUAL CONCLAVE!

The following editorial appeared in the Kansas City Journal a few days ago. It shows conclusively that the white people of Kansas City, Missouri are exempted from the $500 fine for carrying concealed weapons except in special cases where they do not stand in. The Journal so acknowledges the fact. It is an outrage upon decent people of this country to have men to preside in an exalted position, such as the police of Kansas City, Mo., who use their positions to make themselves look clean. They force excessive fines upon innocent and inoffensive Negroes who are ignorant of the law. If they were sincere and enforced the law upon all alike there would be no complaint when the Kansas City Journal says that the judge is impartial and is imposing these offenses upon colored people which is being hurled out to the world. What a great judge he is in trying to stop the practice of carrying concealed weapons when in reality he is letting the white man continue to carry them, and then administers excessive fines upon Negroes who are arrested by Negro-hating policemen who are brought in from the slave districts and back woods counties of Missouri to hinder the progress of Negroes. The intelligent white people of Kansas City will place competent officers in charge to enforce the law, irrespective of color, and when this is done Kansas City will soon be free from vice, thugs and outlaws, which are instead upon the people for the counterances of ignorant officers. "The expressed determination of the board of police commissioners to put a stop to the practice of carrying concealed weapons is very commendable and easily feasible if the police department will make a sin- FOURTE The RTEENT The Misso CONTEST DISPLAY DRILL For the prize SILVER CUP now held by Cyrene at 8:30 p.m. BETWEEN Far West Commandery No. 3, Kansas City, Mo.

SENATOR LONG was in Topeka Topeka last week, accompanied by his private secretary, Ralph Faxon, who is one of the most popular young Republicans in Kansas. We predict a great future for him. He knows all of the leaders and men of note in his party, and is much sought after by them. He is conversant with all of the senator's private and political business, in fact, runs the office. When the senator was seriously ill, we doubt if Mr. Faxon's place could have been filled to the satisfaction of the senator. Senator Long looks well after his trip to the Orient.

Judge Brady's stand, that he will administer the maximum fine, $500, to all such offenders who are brought before him, would soon be effective in stamping out the concealed weapon habilf he had the active assistance of the police. But he cannot accomplish much if only the Negro hoodlums and friendless whites are arrested while the toughs and rowdies who have a political pull are allowed to go free, as they have been in the past. Numbers of notorious characters, some of whom figure periodically in scrapes ranging from barroom brawls to election rows, are permitted by the police to go armed because of their supposed usefulness to men higher up as ward heelers and hustlers at election times. "The only way to break up the habit of carrying concealed weapons is to enforce the law impartially and rigorously. Nearly every man who habitually carries a pistol is a murderer at heart and he should be treated as such as far as the law will allow. "The police board should direct the attention of the police force particularly to the gangs of half-grown men and boys who now infest numerous street corners abusing and intimidating the passers-by. Many of them go armed and they draw their weapons upon the slightest provocation. These gangs are known to the police, but for some inexplicable reason they are permitted to congregate night after night without inter- L. M. Penw M. Penwell, First-class in every particular.

Things Worth Knowing. | Torzna, Nov. 1.—The election for United States Senator by the Kansae [egislature in 1907, assum- ing that the Republicans will be in the majority, promises to bea good, old fashioned fight, of the kind that has not been witnessed in Kan- sas since Preston B, Plumb beat a lot of rivalein 1887, The second election of Jobn J, Ingalls in 1879 possesscd more dramatic interest, but that issue was to overthrow man alreadyin, while the election of 1877 was to pick a new man out of abunch of untried ones, Such an election will be that of 1907, with the difference that the issue of 1877 was fought out on the floor of the Joint convention Instead of {ia the caucus, a8 ie therule of the present day. Tn the old days there were so few Democrats and other opposition in the Legislature, that the Republi: cans paid no attention to them, In- deed, a party caucus was nota part ofthe election of a United States es Alliance introduced it In.1802 | Ingalls tried to get the issue befor |= caucus in 1879, but nov all of the Republicans would coneent, and ac the tight degenerated into “Ingalle’ and ‘‘anti-Ingalle'’, They had cau cuses, but it wasa question of fac tion, inetead of party.

The avowed candidates al- ready in the race are Charles Curtis] Charles F, Scott, Philip P, Camp bell, W. A. Calderbead, W. 2. Stubbs, J. L. Bristow, and James F, Getty, Others talked of are E, W, Hoch, D. W. Mulvane, W, A. Johnston, and Marcus A. Low. This in the list, active and passive, no jfar, but since it iaan omnibus contest there is always room for one more, and, since among no many it will be anybody's race, it, may degencrate intoa scrub race and take in a multitude of ambitious patriots, E,W. Hoch properly belongs in the avowed clase", for nobody ex- pects him to turn his Duk on the office, or Ut his friends will not find a way for him to yet into the race, He tas the state patronage, which alrewly he lin made good use of, and since he is aman of ambition he would be foolish to lot it goto waste, He may back and fi, and day up treasure in the “good old Marion Record office” and in the lecture tield, ut bia ambition no longer is to edit a country news paper,fand the lecture platform ta only a porsible place for him to light.

Samples of shrunken wheat are being submitted to us by persons residing in the rust stricken belt. These persons ask whether it will be safe to sow such grain for seed the coming year. It is very proper that they should ask this question and it is especially important that it should be answered with intelligent discrimination. During a trip that we made the trip, we seek in August over the wheat growing area in the northern part of the state we noticed that some of the wheat was so shrunken that it was not worth cutting. In some localities the stands were fairly good. The variations ran all the way from No. 1 down to wheat that was really unn to make good food for chickens. We have no doubt whatever but that such grain sown for seed will not give good results. It will be found quite practicable in many instances to so winnow the shrunken wheat that the very light material will all be blown out of it. The best sample obtainable, therefore, from the crop should usually answer for sowing next season. One difficulty is in the way however. Many farmers are not possessed of a fanning mill, so prevalent has the custom become to take wheat direct from the machine. Every farmer ought to have a fanning mill for such work.—Farm and Fireside. The Destructive Rat. Housewives in the country sometimes complain that poultry raising is a great care on account of the losses that occur among the young chicks largely due to the presence of rats. The rat is far harder to hege against than the cat. A good strong partition to the poultry house or a good wire fence around the poultry yard will keep out cats, but these have little effect in checking the depredations of rats. They can gnaw through the partition and tunnel under the wire fence and do the work so expeditiously that the damage to the flock is done before the farmer has had time to take combative measures. Then when he begins to fight the rosters he finds that the process is not a smooth one. The animals avoid the steel trap and the wire cage. Poison is the only thing that seems to be effective, and the farmer hesitates about employing this, as he is afraid of hurting other animals. But this method of destruction will be found to be about the only effective one if the rats are very numerous. If poison is used it should be placed where only the rats can get access to it. --- Wool Clip Contracted. Dealers in wool seem to have no fears of a decline of wool prices for another year at least. In various western states dealers have already been closing contracts for next year's wool clip at from seventeen to twenty cents per pound and seem willing to take all they can get at those figures. While many farmers have sold their next year's crop on such terms as these some are willing to wait until spring to dispose of their clip, taking the chances on the price going down. They don't consider there is much risk to run when buyers are so anxious to contract so far ahead, and prefer to take chances rather than to sell now and likely to regret making the agreement before shearing time The farmer who breeds and raises good sheep may be pretty sure of reaping some good profits from both his wool and mutton during the next few years. The sheep business certainly has a bright outlook at the present time. Season's Potato Yield. Revised returns justify the estimate of an average yield of 110.6 bushels of potatoes this year, instead of 103 bushels, as stated in the last number. The average yield for the previous ten years was 81 bushels, making the present a bumper year for this crop Maine is credited with the largest average nore yield, 215 bushels. The Southern states had from 81 to 80 bushels, except Florida, which grew 102 bushels Iowa's yield was 286 bushels and Wisconsin's 128, both extremely good for this country. The average of the old New England states is higher than in the same number of newer western states—Farm, Stock and Home. Our Butter Abroad. The government has been making weekly experimental exports of the best quality of creamery butter to Manchester, England, continuing previous practical tests of the merits of such butter from the United States in comparison with the highest grades of butter from other countries to be found in British markets. The results as stated by the butter man of the dairy division have been, in a general way, quite favorable, but not such as to encourage commercial operations along the same line at the present price of butter in the United States—Barnum's Midland Farmer. No Lime On Manure. It is a mistake to put lime in the manure heap, for it destroys the salts of ammonia, and by competing it to take the gaseous form drives it off. Lime will rot manure very quickly and do its work, well but it will be at the expense of a loss of nitrogen, which is an ingredient of ammonia, says the Farm Journal, and it's good authority. I. H. Wilhelm of Denver, Oka was in the city last week. Mrs. Anza Harding has returned from a visit to Hutceinson. Mr. and Mrs. B. Bellof Pittsburg are in the city and have decided to locate here. Rev. P.

Allen addressed the County Teachers' association which assembled at Webster Grove, St. Louis county, Oct. 26-28, on "The Spirit of the Teacher." The address was received with hearty applause. The presentation and discussion of various educational questions during the sessions demonstrated the fact that the teachers of this county are alive and up to date. The patrons of Mr.W.H.Thomas class of '05, principal of the school at Carbondale, Ill., are so well pleased with the character of his work that, notwithstanding the presence of a State Normal school in Illinois, to which their children are eligible, they have decided to send them to Lincoln Institute. "The American Boy," the subject of a well known and widely advertised lecture, presented by Mr. T. A. Gamel to large audiences in the leading churches of this country, was given with stereoptican views, in the institute auditorium Tuesday eve, Oct. 24. Full of timely suggestions, warnings and advice for the young of both sexes, it furnished an impressive lesson to the parents, teachers and students. This was the initial lecture of the season and President Allen promises several more treats of high order from both musical and literary points of views. A park for the pursuit of manly sports is being fitted up at the foot of the campus under supervision of the athletic association, Professor West, business manager. Several games of the gridiron are soon to be played here. The institute choirs, of which there are two, and the orchestra are in excellent shape and in a spirit of friendly and helpful rivalry are furnishing music for devotionals, Sunday services, etc. Prof. John J. Wheeler, the new superintendent of the industrial department, is an alumnus of Armour Institute of Technology and comes to Lincoln Institute from Tuskegee where for eight years he has been engaged in industrial and economic work.

Miss Addie Alexander of Gunnison, Miss. stopped over with Mrs. A. M. Myers en route to Holly Springs to enter Rost University. Walnuts for Fowls. Every year thousands of bushels of walnuts go to waste all over the country, and few farmers think of their value for poultry food. For years we have been gathering the walnuts and storing them in some shed or outhouse, and we consider every bushel of them worth fully as much as a bushel of oats. It is not necessary to remove the hulls, but do not store them more than a few inches deep, as they may heat and rot. A 10x18 space will hold a big wagon load safely. When real cold weather sets in we hash up a bushelful with an old aze and feed them to the laying hens. The great amount of oil contained in the kernels will do more to help keep up animal heat than almost any other foodstuff we can produce, and we have never had disease in our flocks when we have walnuts as part of the winter ration. With eggs at present prices, and high prices during the past year, we may look to see them sell high all through the coming winter, and should do all within our power to make our hens lay. 4 DECREES OF FASHION PRETTY AND CORRECT THINGS TO WEAR. Bleusse or Shirt Waist Suitable for All Materials—Skirt With Shirred or Plain Yoke—Velvet Ribbon Trimming—Hints for the Home. Popular Separate Bleuers. Again and again it has been prophesied that the separate blouses must be put one side, but as yet practical women will not give them up. The labeon blouses, dressy enough for the theater or luncheons, but high-necked and long sleeved, seem to get prettier and prettier. The lovelest of them all are made of those exquisite flowered silks—with shadowy flowers that fade in out of the background in so artistic a way. Those exquisite soft crepes with flower prints are charming draped and trimmed with tiny hand-ren tucks, or puffs, or lace. Soft drapy silks are very good—but so are stiff silks, and a combination of both. The soft chiffon failles, in exquisitely soft shades of pink, or blue, or violet, make up into beautiful blouses. But, besides silk, soft fine woolen stuffs—mostly white, are being used a great deal. Albatross, silk-and-wool stuffs, soft wool crepes and a dozen others are made up into as attractive blouses, in their way, as the silke are in theirs. Magnificent Evening Coats. One of the novelties of the season in the way of an evening coat is cut on the lines of a mandarin's coat, richly embroidered in colors and gold thread and lined throughout with Chinese sable. This sable is even rarer than the Russian fur and is less expensive. It has a very long nap and is in two distinct colors, a rich mouse gray near the pelt and clinnamon brown at the tip. Among the newest evening coats are those made of flowered satins and silks. They are quite full around the skirts and profusely decorated with lace and touches of fur. WHILE THE TEA DRESS Bolero lines, to be at all modish, must cling close to the figure. One handsome black velvet gown had appliqué of white kid for trimming. Moleskin will certainly be worn by those who purchased garments thereof last winter. Broad bows of pink and blue velvet, covered with glittering sequins, are shown for the hair. A questionable fad is a slender watch chain encircling the waist and suspending the watch in front. Silk belts that match the gown are draped tight without buckle, delineating the suppleness of the waist. There was never a more favorable time to get out odd bits of old trimming and use them to good advantage. Narrow toes have broadened and wide toes have narrowed and the compromise is a sensible and pleasing width. Blouse or Shirt Waist. This shirt waist will be found most excellent for all the waistings of the season, cotton, linen, silk and wool, and is as smart as it is simple, besides suited stout figures well, there being no greater mistake extant than the theory that such are at their best in plain waists. The wide tucks at the front that give ample fullness below the stitchings, and the broad box plait at the center, are both new and desirable, and combine most satisfactorily with the plain back. The model is made of cheviot, white with lines of blue, and is worn with a blue lines stock. But this last can be anything one may prefer, or can be omitted altogether in favor of ribbon tied in a big bow, although it really is a small 100 able both for this special waist and as a model for the odd ones of which there can never be too many. The waist is made with fronts and back that are fitted by means of shoulder and under-arm seams and is gathered at the waist line, the back being drawn down smoothly, the front made to blouse over the belt. The sleeves are the accepted ones of the season, and are finished with straight cuffs, and the shaped stock insures the neck. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 4½ yards 21 inches wide, 4 yards 27 inches wide, or 2 yards 46 inches wide, with 4 yard of any width for stock. Worn at Chicago Horse Show.
