Although an effort was --- 4TH YEAR.

Meta Vaux Warrick and Her Work in French Art Schools--Foreign Critics Promise a Great Future for Her From the Philadelphia Press The only colored woman sculptor in the world is Miss Metta Vaux Warrick, of Philadelphia. This young woman recently returned from Paris, where she has been living for two years as a student. She now plans to set up a studio in her native city and endeavor to find a field for her talent. That she has this talent, is evident when a well known critic says of her: "Miss Warrick cannot be put in the same category with the usual class of women sculptors. "When she went to Rodin with a piece of her work, he said: 'But, Mademoiselle, you are a sculptor. Your work is powerful.' "I think Miss Warrick will prove if she works long enough to have not only talent but genins. "There was already a sign of it in the works she exhibited at Bing. To critics and amateurs they were a revelation." Where the young woman got her talent is a mystery. She herself cannot explain. She was born in a little house on 12th st. Her father was a barber and her mother, too was a hairdresser. At an early age, though, the young colored woman developed a marked leaning toward the beautiful and frequently begged her sister, who also worked at modeling, for bits of clay. When she became a scholar in the public schools she was always at the fore in drawing, so much so, in fact, that she helped her schoolmates better than could the teachers themselves. When the public school term ended one of her teachsrs asked her if she would not like to have her name sent to the board of education for an examination at the school of Industrial Art. She took the examination and was granted a scholarship of three years. Like all other pupils in the school at Broad and Pine streets Miss Warrick studied all branches of industrial art, and was able at the end of the schooling to choose the branch for which she was best fitted in selecting a specialty. At the end of the three years' term the diploma awarded entitled her to a post-graduate course free of tuition, and she took up the normal course, devoting all her time to sculpture. One condition was involved in searing the tuition free, namely, that something be done in the interest of the school. Her selection was a bas relief frieze representing the arts and crafts made up of a total of thirty-seven figures in procession and in mediaeval costumes. It won the prize Many of her other works emphasized the fact to her professors that she had marked talent in so lpture and modeling. When he school year ended they were unanimous in urging that she go to Paris and continue her studies. As she herself says: "I was no longer satisfied to stay at home but I never dared hope that I would get the necessary family consent to go to the art centers of Europe but But I was wrong for through the intercession of my professors I was was given my heart's desire and in September, 1899, I was sailing Parisward full of hope, confidence and determination, without which I am sure my years there would have been a failure. "For the first six months across the water I studied drawing under Raphael Collin, at the 'advice of a conscientious sculptor, who thought it necessary. But I found at the end of that time that while I had improved in drawing it had no effect on my modeling. After that I modeled after antique casts under M. Carles in the studio of a friend, and finally took a studio of my own. During the summer Irom life again and paid frequent visits to the museums, not to look at the sculpture alone, but at the paintings as well. My instructors were MM. Ingelbert Gauqui and Rollard. I worked alone in the afternoons at sketches in clay or wax, finally continuing alone with no other criticism than that of an artist friend." After she had reached the stage of proficiency, Miss Warrick produced many figures which netted her not only profit but fame in the French capital, where artists are many and competition among them keen. The great connoisseur, M, Bing, thought so much of her work that he invited her to exhibit and that she might do it well he threw open his great salon for her use. Twenty two of her productions were shown at tqat time an M, Bing himself purchased several which he thought the best People who are fond of sweet little sculptured angels and academical art in general will at once class Miss Warrick's work as vulgar, gross and painful and pay no more attention to it," said one critic after viewing her exhibit, "but to the true lover of art every piece will tell a tale of woe, of sorrow, of fear, or intense love or joy. For instance her line sized thief on the cross is almost frightful to behold. It is the realistic face of the thief in the throes of death, with protruding lips that become blonched with fear, as well as death. Every line of the body shows anatomical study and the girl did dot hesitate to produce the lines as her vision of the toief showed them to her." The "Thief on the Cross" is considered to be Miss Warrick's best work up to the present time. M. Edouard Gerard, another critic, after seeing her exhibit said: "There is much promise in this young women's work because there is in it the most precious qualities that one can find in a young artist, namely, sense of form, originality of view, an easy daring and force of expression." Another of Miss Warrick's best efforts is a small plaster relief, which was inspired by the lines. Be still, sad heart, and cease repining; Behind the cloud the sun is shining: The relief is a cloud peopled with the suffering, the sorrowful and the despairing. Around the edge there are those who can see the light behind the cloud and who take courage and the smile of hope on their faces is intense. Miss Warrick herself is not at all morbid in disposition. She talks well and apparently has a good ed- NO 24 ucaton. Speaking of the scope of her work she said: "I enjoy nothing so much as shutting myself up in my stud with my clay or my wax before me, sketch after sketch after sketch of funny or serious little groups of figures, just according to my mood-trying all sorts of experiments and finally selecting the best to work up on a larger scale. "I think one cannot work up too many sketches. It seemed severe when my Professor would refuse to look at less than five or six of one subject, but he was right; it developed imagination and gave scope to select from. A sculptor should use the model as little as possible. In fact I think that the best way to use a model is as a writer should use his dictionary—to correct faults and mistakes. This is why necessity of a knowledge of anatomy is absolute. A model blinds our imagination ank throws a damper on or zeal, and as a result the production is an insipid looking thing which tells no surny." Miss Worrick concluded her in interesting talk about her work with this apt sentence; "One should always observe the effect of outline, whether in a group or a single portrait. Think of it as being outlined against a clear sky-arcange it so that the silhouette will be interesting however simple." Miss Warrick returned from Paris a month ago and went to Atlantic City to spend the balance of the summer season with her moher. She intends returning to Peiladelpeia and after she secures a studio will resume work at her art. The studio she wants must be an barn or a stable. Several such buildings have been offered her but none have proven satisfactory. Frequently, too, the owners refuse to allow the necessary alterations, which include cutting a hole in the hay-mow floor, the insertion of a sky-light, and side windows. Those changes in the construction of the ordinary stable, Miss Warrick says, are absolutely essential as she must have light from a ove an side lights as well as a sort of upper baleony to see her work from all sides.

"To Live and Let Live," is OUR Motto. ' Oh my! bnt wasn't that a mighty landslide Tuesnay? A review of Tuesday's election shows that the grand stand urry made by the democrats to corral the colored vote was as fruitless and void of results as the movement it self was insicere. Although there was to be mighty wonders done, it finally accomplished what all such belated and insincere movements accomplish—nothing. There was, per haps, a time when the colored voter might have been stamped; but that time has passed—never to return. The voting shows that more than nine tenths of the colored vote cast was cast for the straight republican ticket; thus showing that this flurry had no effect whatever. The election is over, the victory is won and we are glad of both. We will now leave the political phase of the subject and once more settle down to hard business. We have, as you may have noticed, devoted much time and space to politics and we are truly glad to once more leave it. While we are glad that politics is over, yet we have no apologies to make for the position which we took—because we believe ourselves right and recent events have proved it. We entered the campaign with no ax to grind and no enemy to punish and we are the same now. Our motto was and is now the unadulterated straight republican ticket and we supported that ticket; but in all that we said during the whole campaign not once have we resorted to personal abuse or vilification. We now ask our ecorrespondents to send in their news. If the colored people would not stand so much fooling and get down more to business and not be so jealous of each other their success would be considerably more pronounced. We are for the right at all times. Mr. B. H. Downing did much to make the success of the Republican ticket what it was. --- Locals and Personals The young people gave a pleasant surprise party on Miss Mamie Coleman at her residence, 247 N.

Topeka, Kan., Nov. 5.—The Republican victory in Kansas is complete. A good majority of the legislature, all the state offices and a large part of the county offices were taken by the Republicans. Chairman Albaugh, of the Republican state committee, made the following statement: "Returns have been heard from every part of the state, and they indicate the election of W. J. Bailey and the entire Republican tisket by about 35,000 plurality. The Republicans have elected every member of congress and over ninety members the legislature. The majorities for the Republican candidates for congress will be approximately as follows in the various districts: 1st district, 8,000; 2nd district, 3,000; 3rd district, 2,000; 4th district, 4,000; 5th district, 6,000; 6th district, 1,200; 7th district, 3,000. The total vote of the state will be slightly under 300,000 The events of Tuesday will be a lesson to some men—that they can fool all the people some time, some of the people all the time, but they cannot fool all of the time. The latest fad sprung by the Democrats to catch the vote of the colored people proved as much a failure as did the course agreement of Craddock and his "tax reform" on the people of Kausas. The game was too old and course. It must be remembered that the colored voter, the honegt and earnest man, the voter who respects his vote, is not so easily led astray; and what is more, the colored voter is a man, a thinker and a self thinker at that. After having passed through the ordeal which has finally brought him thus far, it will take more than unheard of promises to change him from his rightful stand. We are proud of the colored voters of Sedgwick county because on Tuesday they proved that they stood for a principal. NEGRO IS DETERIORATING Predicts Blacks Will Become Ex Predicts Blacks Will Become Extinct in This Country Muscatine, Iowa, Nov. 1.—A sensation was created eere by Rev. J. L. Murphy of the Englise Lutheran church, who said in a lecture on the race problem that the study of the sociological condition of the Negro to day proves that he is deteriorating to this country, will later lapse into barbarism and finally become extinct. He points out that before the war the Negro was trustworthy and the honor of any woman of the South was safe without the protection of white men. Todry, however, a white womae scarcely dares ventre forth alone. Mr. Murphy says that not only is the black man becoming degraded morally in the South but also physically.

Of Zer, the successor of Menes, it is astonishing to find the forearm of his queen still in its wrappings, with four splendid bracelets intact. This brilliant and exquisitely finished group of jewelry is 2,000 years older than the jewelry of Dahshur, the oldest up to then known. The arm of the queen had been broken off by the first plunderers and had lain hidden in a hole in the wall of the tomb. Farmer Finds A Friend. Nadeau, Mich., Feb. 3d.—Mr. Nelson De Rosier of this place, a prosperous farmer, sixty-one years of age, has suffered for years with Kidney Trouble. He has tried many medicines, but found nothing to relieve him until he began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and he has found this remedy to be a friend indeed. He says: "I thank God that there is one medicine in the world that does help weak and sick humanity. I would earnestly advise every one who has Kidney Trouble to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. They have given great satisfaction in our family." Wherever Dodd's Kidney Pills have been used according to directions, they have not failed to cure all Kidney Troubles, Bright's Disease, Drops, Rheumatism, Lumbago and Backache. Highest Recorded Medical Fee. The highest medical fee ever paid became the property of a blind physician, Dr. Gale, of Bristol, who cured a wealthy patient of a diseased knee by electric treatment, and in return found his banking account richer by £50,000. Garfield Tea cures constipation. A PETRIFIED FOREST. Almost everyone has heard of the petrified forest in Arizona, but few know that it is comparatively easy of access to visitors. The distance from the railroad is but seven miles and at the station Adamana, on the Santa Fe, a few miles east of Holbrook, Mr. Albert Stevenson maintains a small inn, accommodating about ten people and provides a spring wagon outfit and several saddle ponies for those who desire to visit the forest. The old pioneer, Adam Hanna, who, in the sense that John Hance made the Grand Canyon, made the Petrified Forest, has moved away. At the forest there are hundreds of sections of tree trunks of various sizes and in variegated colors lying exposed on the plain or half buried in the hillsides. There are several extinct volcanoes in the vicinity of the forest and about two miles from the railway station are the ruins of an old Aztec settlement and curious hieroglyphics carved on rock. Stop-overs are granted at Adamana on through railroad and Pullman tickets where the holders desire to visit the Petrified Forest. As people lose innocence they find experience.

Schaeffer, of Edgar county, Illinois, last year harvested the largest crop of popcorn ever gathered in the world. From his 103 acres he had 1,800 bushels, a yield of a little over seventeen bushels to the acre. It cost him $17 an acre to raise, sort, shell and pay ground rent. BEFORE HE TOOK VOGELER'S He Could Not Touch His Wife's Dinner, and They Were "Fit for a King." So writes our esteemed friend Mr. Frank Chambers of 9 Bennett street, Chiswick: "For over two years I suffered agonies from indigestion and became reduced to a mere shadow of my stalwart self. I would return home from my business feeling so faint that I could hardly drag one leg after the other. My dear wife did all she possibly could to tempt me with dainty dishes, and as I entered the house I sniffed and thought: 'Oh, how good; I know I can eat that!' But alas! no sooner had I eaten a few mouthfuls, when I felt sick; severe pains shot through my chest and shoulder blades, my eyes swam and everything seemed black, I became alternately hot and cold, and got up from such a dainty dinner heartily sick of living, and feeling I was a sore trial to everybody. I may mention that I was also very mud troubled with scaly skin, and often boils. But one evening I noticed my wife seemed more cheerful than usual; I questioned her and found she had been reading a pamphlet she had received of men afflicted just as I was, and who had been cured by Vogeler's Compound. Said she, 'What gives me more faith in it is that it is made from the formula of an eminent physician now in active practice in the West End of London, so I am sure it is no quack thing.' 'All right, dear, let's have a bottle,' said I. After taking the contents of the first bottle, I felt very much better, and determined to give this remedy a fair trial, and I can positively assure you that a few bottles made a new man of me. I can sleep well, eat anything, and thoroughly enjoy me. I have told several of my friends whom I knew were suffering the same as myself, and they all wish me to say that they are like new men. I sincerely bless the great physician who gave you the formula of Vogeler's Curative Compound, and also yourselves for making its virtues known to a suffering public."

Wichita, Kansas, Saturday, Nov. 8, 702 KANSAS COMMENT. A GENERAL RAIN.—The rain of November 1st is reported to have fallen in numerous places in the state. It was, in some sections, the first rain in four weeks. SHIPPING CHEESE WEST.—The Cimmaron cheese factory is shipping about 2,000 pounds of cheese weekly to Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. This is a new short grass country industry. FARMERS AND HOUSEKEEPERS.—During the two past years, the Osawatomic asylum admitted 583 patients. Of this number 130 were farmers, 138 were housekeepers, 68 were laborers, 10 were miners and one was a policeman. INSPECTING PACKING HOUSES.—Colonel S. R. Burch, chief clerk of the Bureau of Animal Industry, holds one of the most responsible positions in the agricultural department, and he is making a tour of the west for the purpose of inspecting the work of the packing houses. WINFIELD LIBRARY.—That city has accepted plans for the Carnegie library building and work will commence on it soon. It will cost $15,000, the full amount of Mr. Carnegie's donation. It is to be located on the Central school grounds and will be of Roman-Ionic style, built of stone, 35 by 70 feet. COLLEGE CONSOLIDATION.—Campbell university at Holton proposed to convey to Lane university of Lecompton all its holdings, amounting to $175,000, Lane to pay Campbell $17,000 for apparatus, dormitory, etc. The Kansas conference of the United Brethren church accepts the offer and the deal is expected to be consummated next June. WASHBURN STUDENTS.—Among other Hallowe'en pranks played by Washburn students was the burning of an old and unsightly frame building on the campus. The loss is $300. The faculty is trying to find out what students committed the crime. Expulsion from college and criminal prosecutions await the perpetrators if they are discovered. AFTER 34 YEARS.—Some Leavenworth parties have just received title to a tract of land which they purchased in 1868. At the time of the purchase a deed was ordered given them but the sheriff died and it was not done. Ever since then the purchasers have been trying to get the deed. There was no reason for withholding it, but it was not made out until thirty-four years after the date of the purchase. ROOFING TILE FACTORY.—The Coffeyville Shale, Brick and Roofing Tile Company is the title of a new concern which will begin operations in Coffeyville within a few weeks. There are already two vitrified brick factories in Coffeyville. The new plant will have a capacity of 100,000 brick and 10,000 roofing tile every ten hours. This will be the first roofing tile factory ever established west of the Mississippi river. DELINQUENT BONDS.—Clad Hamilton, assistant attorney general, has been in the southwestern part of the state looking up matters pertaining to delinquent school bonds in the state school fund. He went to Garden City and drove from there over considerable of the surrounding country. As a result the state school fund will receive several thousand dollars which he found in the sinking funds in some of the county treasuries awaiting application to the payment of indebtedness. SEIZED IN BOX CAR.—Wellington city officers made a raid on a box car in the yards and seized twenty-seven cases of beer consigned to John Hoboe. It was being unloaded when the officers made their appearance. Litigation will follow, but a similar case a few months ago resulted in a victory for the city, the liquor being destroyed. NEED MORE LAND.—The state board of charities will present to the legislature their conviction of the necessity of giving to the institutions in their charge more land. FOUR ORPHANS.—Charles Hooper and his wife, of Independence, had been divorced and their four children given to their mother. There was trouble about that. The man and wife met in the postoffice building and he shot and killed her and then killed himself. GAVE OF THEIR CUTICLE.—At a picnic at Brownlee's lake in Reno county, recently, fifteen girls gave up a part of their skins to be grafted on the arm of Archie Brownlee's nephew. The arm had been burned and would not heal. WILD CAT INSURANCE.—State Insurance Commissioner Church, though vigilant, is unable to keep wild cat companies from issuing policies in Kansas. He is now after a McPherson agent for unlawfully writing policies for "wildcat concerns," who is subject to a fine, for the American Underwriters of Chicago, a combine of two such companies. GETS FREE DELIVERY.—The order has been issued for free delivery service at Junction City to begin on the first of March next. CHANUTE FAIR WAS CLEAN.—Elks of Chanute, although they were offered good sums of money for gambling concessions during their fair, turned down all such propositions. Not a gambling layout was permitted to do business. Some Kansas towns have formed the idea lately that a fair or carnival cannot be a success unless a tough midway and a lot of gamblers are allowed to work their grafts. The Elks' fair at Chanute was a success; but there were no gamblers; neither was there a tough midway. SPEAK WELL OF INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS The state board of charities speaks very highly of the manual training department established at the Industrial School for Boys and of the domestic economy department at the Girls' industrial School. Both, the board thinks, will result in much good, not only because they give the inmates some employment, but because the inmates are, as a result of the training, enabled to earn a living after they are released. NEW TELEPHONE BUILDING.—The Missouri & Kansas Telephone company has let the contract for a $20,000 telephone building in Wichita which is to be 29 by 90 feet, the front to be pressed brick and Carthage cut stone and the entire building is to be of hard brick laid in cement. The building alone will cost $10,550, while the dynamos, batteries and appliances will bring the total cost of the building and its equipment to over $30,000. FOOT BALL INDIGNITIES.—Members of the Holton foot ball eleven complain that they narrowly escaped being mobbed in Sabetha, after defeating the Sabetha team by a score of 6 to 0. At the conclusion of the game the visitors had hard work to get to the railroad station and say that they were obliged to submit to all kinds of insults and indignities. LARGE RANCH SOLD.—It is reported that the Westcott ranch near Solomon has been sold to Kansas City parties for $175,000. This ranch comprises over 4,000 acres of fine land about 14 miles south and east of Salina. Mr. Westcott, the owner of the ranch, lives at Richmond, Ind., and he is the head of the Richmond Grain Drill Company. SECOND CROPS OF FRUIT.—The Pratt Union says: "W. C. Briant left a sample of his second crop of grapes at this office Tuesday. There are several bunches on the vine and this is the second crop for this season. He also has a second crop of peaches and of cherries all grown to quite a good size. THE ELBERTA PEACH.—It was named for a Kansas woman. A Kansas man raised the first Elberta peach tree from the seed and named it for his wife. The new peach became such a success in Texas that a town was named for it, the town of El Berta, whose people do not know where the name originated. FIVE TONS FOR BALLOTS.—It took about that amount to print the Shawnee county ballots and about two tons of that was used in reserve ballots that will go into scratch pads after the election. Two Good Crops.—Farmer Clover, of Labette county harvested a wheat crop in time to plant the same field in corn on July 5. He has gathered 40 bushels of corn to the acre from this field. ELECTION BOARDS GET MORE. —Election judges and clerks receive more compensation this year than in years past. Their pay now is put on a “per voter” basis. They are each allowed $2.50 for the first 250 votes or less and $1 for each additional 100 votes or fraction thereof. AN OLD TIMER.—H. W. Cochran, of Linn county, is 91 years old. Mr. Cochran has never ridden on a railroad train or on a street car. He boasts that in all his life he never attended a wedding save his own. RUN OVER AND KILLED.—The 5-year old son of Luther Moore, of Auburn, was run over and killed by a team while playing in a field on his father’s farm. The boy was picked up by his father and taken to the house, a short distance off, but died before he reached there. NATURAL GAS DID IT.—La Harpe has a healthy pay roll for a town of but 600 or 700 inhabitants. The smelter, rolling mill and brick plant pay out every month between $16,000 and $17,000. MACHINISTS WERE SURPRISED.—Official notice has been received that the machinists on the Eastern Grand division of the Santa Fe have been granted a raise in wages from 31 to 32 cents per hour effective November 1st. The boys are very happy over this raise and it came to them as a surprise. BUILDING TRADES PULL OUT.—The members of the building trades unions of Topeka have pulled out of the general trades council and organized a building trades council. They have 200 members. DIED FROM FRIGHT.—Albert Dixon, a negro boy 8 years old, died from fright at a Leavenworth hospital. He was about to be operated on to remove a small abscess from his leg as the result of a splinter. He became very nervous and excited as the nurse was preparing him for the operation and when the doctor removed his coat to perform the operation the boy fell over dead. PROPOSED UNION OF SECTS.—The annual conference of the United Brethren church of the Neosho district, comprising southern and eastern Kansas and northern Indian Territory, was held at Pittsburg, the session lasting a week. The conference favorably considered the proposed union of the United Brethren and Methodist Protestant churches. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.—The state expended nearly $0,000 advertising the two constitutional amendments submitted to the people at the election. For the past three months these amendments have been printed in from one to three newspapers in each county in the state. Each paper received $40 for printing the amendment. UNIVERSITY FOOT BALL.—The stand taken by the university of Kansas for the purification of athletics has borne fruit this year in the remarkably clean grade of foot ball being put up by the University team. Not once in all the games played so far this year hrs there been a single complaint for unsportsman like conduct upon the part of the players. DIPHTHERIA Closes Schools.—It is epidemic in the country north of Atchison and three schools have been closed. From one to four children in the families of John Myers, Albert Spears, Ferdinand Johnson, Louis Nelson and Jacob Schaffer are down with the disease. VOTE WAS 2,000 LESS.—In Wichita the registration was 7,741. The total vote cast was 5,744. The total number of votes will be increased considerably by the railroad men who were not in the city but voted in other cities and these will be received later. SECTION FOREMAN KILLED.—Patrick Ford, section foreman, was struck by a Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific passenger train near Wathena and instantly killed. He had been employed as a section foreman in that vicinity sixteen years. BY A RUNAWAY CAR.—Mrs. Margaret Crist, of Olathe, was killed by a runaway electric car in Kansas City, Mo., on election day. Miss Molly Crist was badly brunsed but not seriously. They were not in the car. MORE RURAL DELIVERY.—Two new routes have been established at Kirwin, making eight routes in Phillips county, the others being two from Long Island, three from Phillipsburg and one from Agra. BURNED TO DEATH.—Mrs. William Klinga, of Wabanaunse county, was making soap in the yard when her clothing caught fire and she was fatally burned. She leaves a husband and five young children. A PROUD COUNTY.—Reno county is in arrears for personal taxes only $600 and the people about the court house claim that no county in the state can make as good a showing. A MAIL EXPENSE ITEM.—It will cost the government $495 this year for a mail service between Arkansas City and Geuda Springs. IN THE REFORM SCHOOL.—At this institution seven boys are taught harness making; there are 14 boys in the shoe shop, and 14 are making clothing for the pupils. In the woodworking department about 30 boys are turning out some creditable work. CAUGHT BETWEEN CARS.—John Hagler, of Salina, was injured by a train at Albuquerque, N. M. He was a brakeman and in some manner was caught between the cars. His back and eight ribs were broken. He cannot recover. COUNTY JAILS DISGRACEFUL.—The state board of charities in their annual report declare that most of the jails in the state are a "disgrace to civilization" because they are unsafe and unsanitary. They suggest that the legislature give the right to inspect the jails, condemn them if necessary. They also suggest that no jail should be erected until the plans are approved by the board.

MITCHELL'S STATEMENT. Filed With Commission—Operators To File Answer. CLUB HOUSE FOR MINERS. Hazleton, Pa., Nov. 5.—The anthracite strike commission spent an entire day in the Lehigh valley region, visiting one mine and several of the mining villages. While most of the commissioners were looking over the territory, Recorder Wright was busy on the train attending to the reception of the commission. Among the matters disposed of was the sending to each of coal companies involved a copy of President Mitchell's statement of the miners' case, which was filed with the commission before its departure from Scranton. Under the agreement made before the commission at Washington, the operators will make a reply in three or four days. While at Upper Lehigh the arbitrators visited one of the homes of the miners, the first they have been in since they have been touring the region. In the run to Hazleton, where the breaker of No. 40 shaft was inspected, Messrs. Markle, Duffy and Gallagher had a spirited discussion over the differences existing at the Markle mines. None of the men at the Markle colliery have returned, to work, for the same reason as those which are keeping the men out of the Coxe mines. Mr. Markle told them he was running the Markle company and would maintain discipline. At Jeddo, John Markle, the independent owner, joined the party and escorted the commissioners to the mining village of Oakdale, naar Jeddo. Mr. Markle showed them the club house which he maintains there for the benefit of the men. An entire afternoon was spent in the Audenreid mine. The commissioners were lowered into the workings, 350 feet below, through a 1,100 foot slope. One of the new "physical features" they saw was a vein of coal with a very steep pitch, which was difficult to mine. While they were inspecting this, a blast was fired in a nearby chamber and the lights carried by those who remained in the gangways below were extinguished by the rush of air. Some of the party were timid for a moment, wondering what had happened. Albaugh's Statement. Topeka, Nov. 7.—Chairman Albaugh of the Republican state committee makes the following statement. "Returns have been heard from every part of the state and they indicate the election of W. J. Bailey and the entire Republican ticket by about 35,000 plurality. The Republicans have elected every member of congress and over ninety members of the legislature. The majorities of the Republican candidates for congress will be approximately as follows in the various districts: First district, 8,000; Second district, 3,000; Third district, 2,000; Fourth district, 4,000; Fifth district, 6,000; Sixth district, 1,300; Seventh district, 3,000. The total vote of the state will be slightly under 300,000. Another Boodler Sentenced. St. Louis, Nov. 4.—Edmund Bersch, ex-member of the house of delegates, was found guilty of perjury in his testimony before the grand jury as to the $75,000 boodle fund raised to secure the passage of the Suburban franchise bill.

Girard, Nov. 7.—Crawford county gives Bailey, for governor, 3,897 and Craddock, 3,000, with two precincts to hear from. P. P. Campbell, for congress, with one precinct out, received 3,888 votes; Jackson, 2,989, and Morgan, socialist, 187. The county ticket has majorities ranging from 250 to 1,600 for the republicans.

Ex-State Senator Arkell of New York has invented a kind of paper which will stretch to a certain extent without tearing.

Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O. MORLEY'S WONDERFUL FIGHT CURI'S ALL PAIR MORI LY'S WONDER HEU EIGHT CURS ALL PAINT LIVE STOCK Some Points on Cattle Feeding. Bulletin 76 of the Mississippi station says: Abundant feed for cattle during four or five months of late fall, winter and early spring is a most important matter. Beef steers will market almost an unlimited amount of feed, but not at a very high price. The farmers of the corn and alfalfa sections of the country depend on beef steers and hogs to market much of their crop. They will feed a steer half a bushel of corn a day and the necessary roughage and are satisfied with a gain of five pounds for each bushel of corn fed. If they can market their alfalfa hay at $5.00 a ton by feeding or otherwise they have made good profit on their land. The man who does not own some land and who does not have something or who does not wish to grow something for cattle to eat has no use for cattle. The function of live stock on the farm is to convert grain and grass and roughage, that are produced on the farm, into meat or other livestock products. As a people we are accustomed to high priced feeds and to buying large amounts of grain. It is equally true that our farmers depend on the oil mills to buy their cotton seed and they take whatever these mills offer. There is a demand for cattle on the farms to eat cotton seed or the meal and hulls after the oil is extracted. It is desirable to grow more restorative crops and with these and manure to make the land more productive. Oil mills do not pay high prices for seed. Good cattle doubtless would give as good and perhaps better returns for them and leave the fertilizing elements on the farm as an additional profit. In determining the relative values of feeds the results obtained by this station show that a ton of cotton seed will produce about one-sixth more beef than a ton of corn, and a ton of cotton seed meal will produce twice as much. Cowpea hay and Johnson grass hay are about equal in value. One and a half pounds of corn stover are about equal in value to one pound of cowpea hay. The cotton seed hulls that we have been using this season are nearly equal in value to good Johnson-grass hay—12 pounds of the hulls giving as good results as 10 pounds of hay. Losses of Sheep from Parasites. The greatest menace to sheep husbandry. What is it? It is not the menace from the presence of dogs or wolves, although in these, in some states, is found a most serious menace. It is not in the liability to a change in tariffs, although this might work great harm, according to the nature of the change, writes Professor Thomas Shaw in American Sheep Breeder. Nor is it even in the flooding of the country with shoddy not properly labeled. It is the increasing losses in flocks in many sections from the constantly increasing ravages of parasites. These have multiplied until they are a source of losses which, in certain areas, give cause to positive alarm. If it could be known how many sheep in the United States are lost every year through the prevalence of parasites the figures would be startling. It would probably be correct to say that nine-tenths of the losses of sheep in this country every year arise from one or the other of the various kinds of parasites which select sheep for their special prey. These losses run all the way from no loss at all in some flocks to very great loss in others. The alarming feature of such loss does not arise so much from the number of the animals lost as from the fact that those allures are not well understood; that is to say, they are not well understood in so far as their life history is concerned. This is true particularly of tape worm in some of its forms, and also of stomach worms. It is not certainly known how those parasites exist separate from the sheep. As long as such is the fact just so long will men work more or less in the dark fighting these troubles. Maine Tries Angora Goats. The first problem we met was suitable fencing. We soon found that while they do not jump they are good climbers and that they will go over any fence the top of which they can reach with the fore feet. The horns on some of the ewes point backward in a V shape. In the case of a woven wire fence with square openings even with four inch mesh they will push their heads through the openings and get hung by their horns. With this kind of a fence it was necessary to visit them two or three times a day to release the prisoners. In 1901 we gave them too extensive a range and they did but little clearing up. In May, 1902, six ewes, one buck and five kids were put in an acre of young woodland of a mixed growth, most of the trees three to six inches in diameter. There was a quite thick growth of underbrush. The small underbrush of birch, maple, hazel bush, etc., have been cleaned up so that where there are no alders or evergreens the ground under the trees is as clean as though it had been burned over. Sweet fern they do not like very well, but they have cleaned all of the hardhack out of this piece. Ferns and brakes have been eaten to some extent. They have eaten the leaves and young sprigs of bushes in preference to grass. Birches two inches or more in diameter they have not injured but they have stripped the bark from every maple. Even maple trees six inches in diameter have been thus killed. We have found them to be fond of the bark of apple trees, even eating the bark from old trees. To clean up birch or evergreen wood land they have proven very effective. There has been practically no cost for the summer's keeping. The twelve goats have been kept without other food on one acre of young wood land. They have required no care other than an occasional visit to see that they are all right and that they have water. Salt was given occasionally.—Chas. D. Woods, Director Maine Experiment station. Points in Swine Judging. Prof. W. J. Kennedy gives the following suggestions regarding some of the points to be noted in judging swine: Head—A short, broad head especially wide between the eyes and the ears is usually associated with width and compactness of body throughout and is an indication of an aptitude to fatten rapidly. A snout of medium length is desirable. Eyes—The eyes should be clear, large, wide apart, and free from wrinkles or folds of fat, which often causes blindness. Ears—A small, fine ear indicates refinement throughout. This is desirable. The carriage of the ear will depend upon the parentage of the hog, being erect in the Berkshires, half drooping in the Poland-China, and almost wholly drooping in the Duroc Jersey and most of the large white hogs. Jowl—A broad, neat, smooth, firm jowl is desirable. Flabbiness of jowl due to excess of fat in this region is very objectionable. Neck—The neck should be short, thick and deep. It should blend smoothly into the shoulder vein and shoulder without any depression. Shoulder and Shoulder Vein—The shoulder vein is that portion just in front of the shoulder where the neck joins the shoulder. Fullness in this part is very desirable, as it usually results in a smoothly covered wide shoulder. The shoulder should be broad, deep and compact on top. Prominent shoulder blades and a slackness between the same are very objectionable. Ways Swine Get Tuberculosis Occasionally a barrow is found with tuberculosis of the scrotum, says Dr. S. Stewart. It is not rare to find a sow with this disease in one or more of the teats, usually one, sometimes two, and in no other part of the body, showing that the infection was from virus getting into that particular part. There are other sources and ways of infection, but those given are the most common. When once the disease is introduced into the herd, then it is readily propagated from the diseased to the healthy, and thus the infected animal becomes a source of further distribution of the disease. There is much interest to be taken in the channels of the body through which these germs may find entrance and the tissue in which they may propagate. Close observation shows that most cases are infected through the structures of the throat. You recall what the tonsil is in your own throat. Swine have a similar structure in their throat, and just beyond these tonsils or in relation to them, there are structures known as lymph ganglia, or glands, or kernels. These lymph ganglia are simply centers along the course of little vessels which lead from the tissues in all parts of the body to the central blood stream, and, next to the tonsilar disturbances, the disease is found in these glands, at the angle of the jaw, just inside. In the government inspection these glands are carefully examined, and it is surprising to note the large number that are found to be diseased. Finding it there calls for investigation all over the body. The Question of Licensing. The Question of Licensing. In Canada they are discussing the proposition of licensing cheese factories. In Minnesota the licensing of buttermakers is being discussed. It is not improbable that the license question will before long assume considerable proportion in dairy matters. It is certain that we have butter-makers, cheese-makers, butter factories and cheese factories that would be hard hit by a license system. We might include also the professional users of the Babcock test. Some of the men that are now making butter and cheese certainly could not obtain a license if the rules were at all strict. And it would be a good thing if they could not. In some of our factories the owners make the plea that if they had to have things in a sanitary condition they would not be able to run their establishments, as they have no capital with which to make extensive changes in their buildings and machinery. Very well, then, let them shut up and leave the road clear for those that are ready to do better. If a business of this kind cannot be conducted properly it should not be conducted at all. The public has some rights in the matter. It has a right to be protected against dirt, which too often means disease. When Tomatoes Ripen Best.
