State Ledger

THE STATE LEDGER BY F. L. JELTZ. KANSAS ITEMS OF INTEREST. A natural gas well has been struck on the school house grounds at Erie. Governor Stanley has pardoned Carrie nation out of the Shawnee county jail. Men of Parsons sent to Delaware to get a charter for an oil and mining company. Randall Bundy, 18 years old, was oiling a windmill at Ellsworth and fell 75 feet. He died. The ringleaders of the threshing gang which raised trouble at Colwich have been arrested. Sweet corn, cane, kafir corn and soy beans are being planted to a large extent in Linn county. The Culver flouring mill at Salina burned while it was closed for repairs. The loss is about $6,000. Wind and hail did damage in the vicinity of Bavaria, Saline county, damaging some wheat stacks. The Santa Fe's libraries for its employees at numbers of division stations, contain 10,000 books. Atchison printers say that the tax list they are setting now is the shortest Atchison county ever had. Emporia cannot stand the odor and has ordered the chicken killing establishment outside the city limits. An Emporia man has been arrested for killing fish in the river with unslacked lime. He was selling the fish. Chas Holwick, of Sedgwick county, was one of the last to register at El Reno and his name came out among the first. The creamery at Madison is burned; building and contents. It is thought that the fire started from the gasoline engine. There is plenty of forage in Wabaunsee county. Farmers planted forage crops in the dryest time which is now coming on. The Wichita packing house is working on extra time to supply the new towns in Oklahoma with sausage and boiled ham. Ex-Congressman John Davis died at the home of his daughter at Topeka. He was 74 years old and had been blind for several years. Vice President Roosevelt partially promised to stop over at Hutchinson on his return trip from Colorado and address the veterans at the state G. A. R. reunion. Selling of stock is stopped in Douglas county and even buying commenced Corn varies from a fair yield to only good fodder. Forage crops are being generally planted. Jackson county farmers are encouraged as their corn will make more grain than was expected and an abundance of fodder. Many of them are planting beans, kafir corn and cow peas. Corn in Allen county is expected to turn out from one-third to one-fourth a crop. The wheat crop is the best the county ever had. The rains have revived the grass and there will be enough of forage. Governor Stanley has announced that he would appoint the ten district judges under the biennial election law shortly so that they will have time to wind up their cases in court before assuming their places on the bench. Three men were injured by the giving way of a scaffold at the Ingalls school building in Wichita. They were: Julius Walters, contractor; Mr. Shottle, bricklayer, and Cairo Owens, a negro. Thad Payne, formerly with the Santa Fe at Topeka, is now private secretary to Russell Harding, general manager of the Missouri Pacific. Records kept at Kansas university show that July, 1901, was the warmest month during the 34 years in which record has been made. A wealthy woman named Brunswick in Chicago has left a fortune to a girl named Grace Brennan who worked in a Topeka Laundry about two years ago, but whose present location is now unknown. The pavement in front of the Commercial bank of Independence, is a single block 12 inches thick, 23 feet long and 16 feet wide. F. M. Benson's barn near Hackney, Cowley county, was destroyed by lightning, with its whole contents, including a horse and a mule. Mrs. Elizabeth Burrowes, of Garnett, has a son visiting her after a separation of 25 years. The son is a Presbyterian minister. J. H. Dow, the oldest citizen of Olathe, and for years the owner of the largest store there, was found drowned. It is believed to be a case of suicide. Mr. Dow was a bachelor. James R. Woods, the young man from Kansas, drew two prizes in the new country; the first was a wife, and the next was the first choice of 160 acres in the Lawton land district. Lyon county has a number of cases of hog cholera. A new M. E. church was dedicated at Valley Falls on August 4. Three inches of rain fell at Lawrence during the last six days of July. An Arkansas City carpenter claims to have been offered $10 a day to work at Lawton. Miss Helen Riley, of Empire City, aged 15 years, was drowned while bathing. An elevator at Smolan, Saline county, bursted spilling 8,000 bushels of wheat on the ground. Thieves in the southern part of Saline county kill cattle in pastures, and haul them away in wagons. It is said that lightning started ten prairie fires in Gray county, three of which did considerable damage. Miami county has sold a good many cattle and hay is worth $12 a ton. Good crops have been the rule heretofore and there will be no new mortgages resulting from the drought. Labor day, September 2, will be observed in Pittsburgh with a jubilee in celebrating industrial peace. Thirty thousand miners and laborers of every craft will assemble. Miss Julia R. Pearce, a Kansas woman, has been appointed an analyst of soil in the department of agriculture, Washington. She got the position be cause of her experience. There is plenty of stock feed in Atchison county. Many corn fields will turn out 30 to 40 bushels to the acre, and the crop of the county will average 10 bushels. Pastures are renewed. Fort Scott dealers say they are selling more seed than they did in the spring consisting of millet, turnips and Yankee corn which matures in 90 days. It makes better fodder than western corn. Many cattle have been shipped and there will be feed to spare in Bourbon county. There are many fields of corn in Morris county that look as well as in average years, while there is much corn that will make nothing but splendid fodder with nubbins. The large crop of kafir corn is not hurt. All in all, the outlook is as good as for a number of years. Three girls of Wellington; Terra Corder, Lillian and Clara French, were in a buggy which was run into by a buckster wagon. The runaway resulted in very dangerously injuring Miss Corder, and severely injuring Clara French. Lillian French was thrown into the air eight feet but was not injured. Harper county is expected to have this year 3,000 to 4,000 bushels of corn. It had a bumper wheat crop. Kafir corn and cane are largely planted. The general practice of grazing winter wheat makes the demand for other feed small. This is the most profitable year for the farmers of Harper county of the 23 years of its history since settlement. The regular annual wheat jubilee at Wellington will occur September 24 to 28. Sumner county produced from 1889 to 1900, 38,384,518 bushels of wheat. For several years Sumner county produced one per cent of the crop of America, and for the past ten years has produced more wheat than any other county in the United States, and holds that record for 1901. Butler county had only 16,000 acres of wheat. It does not claim to rank as a wheat county. The county has 16,000 acres of alfalfa. The corn acreage this season was 156,000 acres, some of which will make from $ \frac{1}{4} $ to $ \frac{1}{4} $ a crop. Then there is 26,000 acres of kafir corn and 20,000 acres of sorghum which have all held up well and will make good crops. Thousands of acres of wheat and rye will be sown for pasturage Secretary Geo. W. Martin, of the historical society, addressed the best old settlers' meeting Hutchinson ever held, on August 1. W. H. Barnes state secretary of horticulture, is to speak on "Orcharding in Kansas" before the National Apple Shippers' convention at Toronto, Canada. Secretary F. D. Coburn tells the Minnesota millers that Kansas produced last year 60 per cent more wheat than Minnesota, while this year it is "out of sight." Thaddeus Hyatt, an early friend of Kansas, died last week at Sandown, Isle of Wight, at the age of 86 years. The city of Parsons owns in common stock in the M. K. & T. road $19,000. A proposition last spring to give this to the railroad because of the many improvements it had made in the town carried by a large majority. Now the mayor refuses to transfer the stock unless he is indemnified against legal consequences. The city council has indemnified him, but he still refuses to make the deed. Kansas Agricultural college is inaugurating experiments in poultry feeding to produce eggs: also a judging school to teach poultry judging and scoring. Miss Beals, the winner of second prize in the Lawton district, denies the story started by the Kansas City Journal that she is engaged to a Kansas City man. Dr. Rafter, who was major surgeon of the twentieth Kansas, has been retired from the hospital service at Manila and will return to Kansas, making his home at Holton. HE IS REMINISCENT. SOME FOURTH OF JULY TALK BY UNCLE SAM. Fells How His Managers, from Washington to McKinley, Have Invariably Succeeded with Protection Laws and Failed with Free Trade. It will be conceded by all that the Fourth of July was a most appropriate day for a good talk with Uncle Sam. The hearty and hale old gentleman has been too busy of late to grant an interview to any one, but a representative of the American Economist begged an interview on the Fourth, and it was granted. I found him surrounded by a noisy pack of boys with their firecrackers and pistols. "Don't you mind the noise?" I asked. "Bless you, no," he replied. "They can't make too much noise on my birthday. This is the one hundred and twenty-sixth Fourth of July I've celebrated, and in three different centuries." "There have been most wonderful changes since your first celebration," I remarked. "Well, I should say so. Sometimes I can hardly realize it. But it has all come about so gradually and so naturally that I have been ready for anything. I get reminiscent on a day like this and can't help going back and making comparisons. Just think of it, there is not a person living that was alive on that Fourth of July when the old liberty bell rang out in Philadelphia. Those were stirring times, I tell you. During the Revolution from 1776 to 1781 and during the Confederation from 1781 to 1789 I was an unruly kid, like a boat without a rudder, but in 1789 I got into long pants, and my manager whom the people selected for me was one of the greatest men that ever lived. I realize more and more what a general, what a statesman, what a president Washington was. "Perhaps my most important birthday anniversary was the Fourth of July, 1789. It was on that day, you know, that my congress passed its first bill, and Washington signed it the same day—a Protective Tariff bill. How well I remember the preamble to that law: "Whereas, It is necessary for the support of the government, for the discharge of the debt of the United States, and for the encouragement and protection of manufactures, that duties be laid on imported goods, etc.; therefore, be it enacted, etc." "And how well it worked! All my early managers praised the act, and called attention repeatedly to its splendid results. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe were all good Protectionists. And there was no material change in the law till 1812, when the duties were nearly doubled to provide money to carry on my second war with Great Britain. Then came the Tariff of 1816, and with it widespread ruin." "But I thought the Tariff of 1816 was a Protective Tariff," I ventured to remark. "It was intended to be Protective, but it was not. I have always found that a Tariff that is not Protective enough is not Protective as all. It's either one thing or the other. There is no such thing as high and low Protection. It's either Protection or no Protection. "Well, the people got pretty tired of the first Free Trade period, but, after all, it was, perhaps, a good lesson, for in 1824 the boys gave me a Tariff that was a Tariff. My, how things did hum! It was such a success that in 1828 the boys increased the duties. Andy Jackson, who was my manager in 1832, said we were the happiest and most prosperous country in the world. Wish he could see us now!" "Why was such an effective Tarin so soon repealed, Uncle Sam?" I asked. "Why? Just because a lot of the boys down South got a notion they wanted to go it alone. I wasn't going to have that, so the whole thing was compromised in 1833, and good times flew out of the window. You've read of those times, of course, and I don't need to say anything about it. It was awful, and it got worse every year. Why horses only fetched 50 cents, and cows less. I remember the boys had so little money they would tear a bill into halves, quarters and eighths, so there would be enough to do business with. That lasted till 1840, when the people gave me William Henry Harrison for a manager and a Protective Congress. In 1842 Protection began again to bring prosperity, and in 1846 my manager, Polk, although he was a Free Trader, had to acknowledge that in resources and wealth and the happy condition of the people and in progress and greatness we were ahead of all other nations. "But there was trouble ahead. I don't want to say anything against any of my boys, but some of them down South were headstrong. The question of slavery began to bother me, too. Well, in 1844 the people elected Polk for manager, and with him a fellow by the name of Dallas, and I must admit that there was a little double dealing during that campaign. It's all past and gone now, but it brought Free-Trade again, and Free-Trade brought hard times. I don't like to think of those times from 1846 to 1860. If it hadn't been for the gold discovery in California and the famine abroad I don't know what we would have done. As it was we had to send our gold to Europe about as fast as we could get it. The old people can remember those times. They were awful, awful, awful. But I'm too happy today to more than just recall them in passing. "In 1860 the boys got back to Protection again, and with the exception of three years it has lasted till now, and I can tell you I never want to see Free-Trade again." "How came the boys, as you call them, to pass a Free-Trade law in 1894, in the face of the success of the McKinley Tariff?" "Oh, the people got restless, and then the election of 1892 was in some respects like that of 1844. Then it was 'Polk, Texas and Free-Trade' in the South, and 'Polk, Dallas and the Tariff of 1842' in the North. Well, they worked Cleveland the same way, and then, though I suppose I ought not to say it, the Democrats did some pretty tall lying in 1892. Why, the McKinley law was the best Tariff law we'd ever had, and everybody was prosperous and happy. But the people gave me Cleveland again for a manager. He had not done much harm the first time I tried him, though I discharged him because I found a better man in Ben Harrison. But, what was worse, they gave me a Democratic, Populistic, Mugwump, Free-Trade Congress, and then things began to go to the demission bowwows. Gosh, all hemlock! but things did change fast. I lost $10,000,000,000 in twenty-four hours, and things went from bad to worse, till in 1896 the people gave me Bill McKinley for a manager, and I've kept him ever since. Renewed the contract last March for four years. So you're sure of three more happy July Fourths." "Well, Uncle, this little Tariff history is all very interesting, and now I want to ask one or two questions." "Well, fire away." "Who do you consider has been your best 'manager,' as you call the president?" "Well, now, that's a hard question to answer.Washington and Lincoln were great men and had great questions to solve, but let me tell you, I like Bill McKinley about as well as any of 'em. He ain't quite as obstreperous as Andy Jackson, and he don't weigh as much in pounds as Cleveland, but he's a mighty good man. He's a safe, level-headed man, and that's what the people like." "The Free-Traders say he is a little shaky on the Tariff." I hinted. "What! Bill McKinley shaky on the Tariff? Don't you believe it for a second. He's more of a Protectionist than he was in 1890, and he was a mighty good one then. "It was sad about Dingley, though. How I wish he could be here today and see what his bill has done for me. How he would rejoice over the exports and the balance of trade, the surplus, the bank clearings, the railroad business and the immense earnings of the people. The McKinley bill was a good one, but the Dingley law has proved to be the best Tariff law the boys ever passed." "Still," I said, "the papers say that parts of it may be repealed and that the Tariff will soon be removed from so-called trust made articles, and with the help of Republicans, too." "Don't let it worry you, my boy. It won't happen for four years, anyway. I acknowledge the people get restless sometimes, and, contrary like, but there ain't no signs of it this year. They won't forget that Gorman-Wilson abortion, and they will be slow to give up their jobs again. Why, just think of it, my people are earning from $20,000,000,000 to $30,000,000,000 a year, from $66,000,000 to $100,000,000 a day, and that is not our total income either. That's too great a snap to throw away. You don't hear any one complaining, do you? There's plenty of work, good prices and plenty of money to pay the price. No; the Free-Traders are just filling space. I'm sorry to admit it, but there are always some fault-finders and malcontents in my big family. Always black sheep in every flock. But it's a great people, a great country and a great day!" And Uncle Sam went off with a bunch of fireworks in one hand and patting the Eagle with the other. MARK MIS "I'm sorry to admit it," said Uncle Sam, "but there are always some fault-finders and malcontents in my family; always black sheep in every flock. But it's a great people, a great country, a great day." Happy Vacation Days. These are the very happiest vacation days the American people have ever known. Few indeed are those who cannot plan a joyful trip to the seashore or mountain with well filled purse, thanks to Protection and full employment at high wages. A man will resent being told he is a fool no matter how often he may so designate himself. NIAGARA. Splendor supreme of constant majesty, Of towering passion, overpowering charm, At last, mine eyes behold thee as thou In all the lightness of thy moving grace; In all the whiteness of thy soaring spray; In all the brightness of thy might! At last Mine ears drink in the voice miraculous, O plunging mountain, full of thunder- songs. Defiant or triumphant, echoing aye Through vasts of days and night! O shape beyond All winged imagery of magic words Most musical, by ancient bards be- queathed To spell the hearts of ever-coming men, At last, I grasp, I clasp thee; and my wounds Struck speechless in the Cavern of the Winds, Breathlessly burns with sharp, voluptu- ous ache To dash herself against the torrent breast And join the awful angels of thy fall Perpetual on the crags of agony— Victorious agony of glorious doom! O perilous bridge 'midst gusts of dazzling pearl, Or where a diamond storm enshrouds the Thou seem't like life a span 'twitx day and night; For through eternal rainbows crown the Halos of hope, charmed circles of high faith. Commanding entrance through the chaps of doubt To deeps of nobler knowledge and soul- strength. Yet all this beauty overwhelms the mind By clash of contrast with our littleness. So, heart of mine, Oh! heart of all, stand up and take the sun! Selze, for 'tis tine, thy sovereignty of light! With night with her pale infinitude of stars, Nor ocean, nor the mountains, nor e'en rocks, Niagara, with all thy loveliness, Can match in possibilities of growth. To power, to beauty, to sublimity, That noblest mystery, the soul of man. —Henry Austin in the Independent. His Mother's Training. Roland stopped and looked at the sign: BOY WANTED! It hung outside a large cutlery establishment, next to a store where there had been a big fire. He had made up his mind that he was old enough to look for work and try to relieve mother. Should he go in? He hesitated, then with all the courage he could command went inside. He was sent back to a room where men on high stools were writing in big books, too busy to notice him, but a tall gentleman did and questioned him so fast he could hardly answer. "What kind of work do you expect to do? Don't know? Most boys do. Never worked out before? Suppose you think its all play. Well," pointing to some steps, "go down there, and the man at the foot will tell you what to do." Roland went down and found half a dozen boys at work with their sleeves rolled up, cleaning and polishing knives. The man at the foot of the steps looked up and said: "Come to try your hand? Well, three have just left in disgust; doesn't seem to be boys work, somehow, but it got to be done. You see," he said, picking up some knives and scissors and showing spots on them, "the water that saved our building the other night injured some of our finest goods. If you want to try your hand at cleaning, I'll show you how. We pay by the dozen." "I'tin't fair," said one of the boys; "some have more rust on them than others." "If you don't like our terms, you needn't work for us," said the foreman, and the boy, muttering that he wanted to be errand boy and see something of life, left, while Roland went to work with a will. As he finished each piece he held it up, examined it critically and wondered if mother would think it well done. When the hour for closing came, the gentleman who had sent him downstairs appeared and looking round at the boys said: "Well!" "There is the boy we want," said the foreman, pointing to Roland. "He will take pride in doing anything you give him to do. He has been well trained." Again the tall man spoke quickly. "That's what we want. 'Boy wanted' doesn't mean any kind of boy. Mother know you came? No? Well, take her your first wages and tell her there's a place open to you here. Then put your arms around her neck and thank her for teaching you to be thorough. If more boys were thorough, more boys would succeed in life." "I guess, mother," said Roland when he told her about it, "it was because I tried to do everything as you would like it. I forgot I was doing it because there was a 'boy wanted.'"—The S. S. Advocate. Geraniums for Winter Blooming. I would like to tell how I grow geraniums for winter. The first of June I fill my pots with garden dirt, mixed with leaf mold I get in the woods. Then take cuttings from the top of my geraniums four or five inches long, put in the pots, and set by the north side of the house. When I think they have rooted, move them to the east side, where the sun shines until noon. Then take an old tub, put in cow and poultry manure, fill with water, and once a week put it on the plants plentifully, says an exchange. Keep the buds pinched off until the last of September. By that time you have a short plant with many branches. When an unexpected cool night comes they are ready to set in the house before the winter flies are made and the leaves will not turn yellow and drop. Turn the plants every day, and they will bloom and prove a constant delight all winter. Now water them occasionally with a good plant food, as they need it through the long winter months. --- Amethyst in Bradshaw Mountains A recent report from Phoenix state that a discoverer of very fine thyst has been made in the Bradshaw mountains north of Tucson.
