Wichita Searchlight

SUPPLEMENT TO THE SEARCHLIGHT. Wichita, Kansas, Sa urday July 25, 203 KANSAS COMMENT. SALINA GETS ANOTHER.—Another elevator to be erected there is to have a capacity of 60,000 bushels. SHOWERS AT TOPEKA.—Two pretty heavy showers at Topeka caused North Topeka people to fear another flood. There is no danger of it however. CREAMERY PAY ROLL.—The Belle Springs Creamery company, a Dickinson county institution, has a $6,000-month pay roll in Ellsworth county. FARMERS ROARED.—At Mound City farmers made such a roar over being drawn for jury duty that the court postponed all jury cases until the next term of court. OF VALUE TO CORN.—The two rains which fell in the vicinity of Topeka last week is looked upon as being of great value to the corn; also reviving berries and vegetation. RICE COUNTY TOWNS.—According to the spring census the towns of Rice county have the following populations: Sterling, 2,117; Lyons, 1,715; Genesee, 448; Little River, 440; Chase, 255; Frederick, 214; Bushton, 187; Raymond, 125. POSTOFFICE REPORTS.—Every month reports are sent from the postoffices in that district to the postoffice in Topelia and mistakes are often found. Postmaster Guthrie was compelled to send back as defective, vouchers of sixty-seven postmasters of Kansas for 106 rural free delivery mail carriers. REVOKEES GRAY'S LICENSE.—The state board of medical examination and registration has revolted the license of Dr. Robert E. Gray, of Garden City. He was tried before the board on the charges of immorality, excessive use of drugs and unprofessionalism in connection with the death of Miss Irma Brown in Chicago, a year ago. HORSES LOST IN FLOODS.—Complaint is being made to the Topeka officials of persons below town who have taken up stock since the flood and have been working it failing to advertise it so that the owners can claim it. Several such instances have occurred. The law is very strict regarding the advertising of taken up stock, and there will be trouble in store for some one. GRAND OFFICERS.—The following are the grand officers of the Native Sons and Daughters of Kansas: Colonel A. S. Johnson, who is 70 years old and bears the distinction of being the first white child born in Kansas, president; Arthur Capper, vice president; H. W. Brent, secretary; F. M. Monebrake, treasurer; board of directors, A. V. Lindell, W. A. L. Johnson, C. L. Gregg, S. G. Zimmerman, W. S. Eberle. FOR WHEAT RAISING.—During the past year the Mulvanes of Topeka have been purchasing wheat land in western Kansas. John R. Mulvane said: "We have considerable wheat ground but I don't believe I would be justified in discussing them. The land will be used entirely for wheat raising and we have extended our holdings whenever we found it possible to buy advantageously." A FLOOD FORMED LAKE.—The flood left a lake on two farms south of Wamego which covers one and a half acres and is 36 feet deep, extending below the underflow. It was started by the water pouring over a hedge fence. The deposits washed out show it to be along an old creek bed long since buried. A great deal of gravel, covering an acre or more of land to the depth of ten inches, sand and masses of gumbo were the main deposits. THE LARGEST ELEVATOR.—The Rock Island and Frisco railroads have completed arrangements for bullying one of the largest elevators on the ground formerly occupied by the Dold Packing Co., in Kansas City, Kansas. It is to have a capacity of two million bushels. Jacob Dold is said to be interested in it. WORTH MORE THAN THE LAND.—There are many farms in Western Kansas which have produced more dollars worth of wheat this year than would buy the farms. LYONS SALT INDUSTRY.—Five hundred tons of salt are shipped from Lyons daily. This means a large pay roll for the work of mining and preparing the salt for shipment. HALF ACHE NETS $400.—A strawberry patch of one half acre situated south of Topeka on the Burlingame road netted the owner over $400 this season. SCHOOL POPULATION.—That of Cofeyville is 1,681 white and 235 colored. A separate school fight is now going on there. AT FORT RILEY IN OCTOBER.—Regular troops will be at the maneuvers at Port Riley in October in larger numbers than last year. Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Arkansas are asked to send one regiment each of infantry. The militia will be brigaded with regulars. A NEW PESTERATION.—Friends of a Salina bride and groom fastened a fifty pound bell on the axle of the hack that took them to the train. A rope over the top of the cab in the driver's hands did the rest. OTHER ENTERPRISES DRAW THEM. While the farmers as well as all others of Montgomery county are anxious to have the oil development pushed rapidly, the farmers especially are just now feeling the effect in scarcity of hands. The Standard Oil Co. is putting in its pipe line to the Neodesha refinery and this line penetrates all the parts of the county in which oil has been developed. It also extends into Chautauqua county and on south into Indiaa Territory. Two or three hundred men are employed and they are paid from $2 to $3 a day. REFORMATORY APPOINTMENTS.—Superintendent Simmons, of the state reformatory at Hutchinson, announces the following appointments for places created at the recent session of the legislature. M. H. Taylor, of Rice county, assistant engineer; Cash Mayse, Cowley county, stone cutters' foreman; William Bentson, Scott county, and George B. Hanna, Miami county, guards. RUNED BY FOOT BALL.—Frank Alexander, of Hamilton county, has been taken to one of the Kansas insane asylums. His insanity dates back to an injury received in a football game at Wichita when he was a student in one of the Wichita colleges. He was an athlete physically and a bright young man mentally, and he is a gibbering wreck of manhood. AN IRON RAILROAD TIE.—The Santa Fe has placed an iron tie in the Hutchinson yards to be tested. It is the invention of a Hutchinson man, J. H. Bryan. With it no fish plates are necessary and there is no possibility for the rails to spread. The road will adopt it if it proves a success. WANT KAN., AND OKLA. WHEAT.—The Minneapolis, Minn., mills are advertising for the purchase of Kansas and Oklahoma hard wheat. Those mills used to advertise that there was no Kansas hard wheat mixed with their flour. Now the more Kansas hard wheat the better the flour. KILLED WITH A PICK.—William Link, a convict in the state penitentiary at Lansing, was murdered in cold blood with a coal pick by George Horton, a fellow convict. The killing took place in the coal mine and was a most brutal affair. STOOD WICHITA INSPECTION.—Some of the oil companies are threatening to go into court and show that the oil inspectors in Oklahoma are not competent, because they condemn oil that stood the inspection in Wichita. DEMAND FOR LABOR.—The Santa Fe is also building a cutoff from Havana to Caney and all over Montgomery county oil wells are going down rapidly so that the demand for labor is greater than the supply. OIL ON POOR FARM.—The Chautauqua county poor farm has three producing oil wells. The farm raised good crops of corn and wheat this season. FIFTEEN LIVING CHILDREN.—The Lacrosse Republican says the new postmistress at Saunders, Mrs. Legge, is 42 years old and the mother of 15 living children. TOOK TOPS OF BOX CARS.—A twister struck a train near Burden, lifting the tops off of several box cars, and spoiling a grain separator on a flat car. FIRED WELLHOUSE'S DAUGHTER.—She was married last week and Senator Wulfekuhler, of Leavenworth, is the bridegroom. NEW RAILROAD MAP.—The state board of railroad commissioners have ordered 10,000 copies of a new railroad map. FAVOR A COMPROMISE.—The attorneys in the irrigation suit against Colorado are in favor of compromising the case. DO THEY WORK 8 HOURS.—The state labor commissioner has commenced a campaign against public officers who either work themselves or force their clerks to work more than eight hours a day. He claims the eight-hour law applies to all public officials and has warned them that they must stop violating it. The law not only applies to clerks and employees but to the official himself so the labor commissioner declares. BELOIT CHAUTAUQUA.—It started on July 18 for a full two weeks of work. FOR LEGISLATIVE EXPENSES.—The members of the legislative committee which investigated conditions at the different asylums this spring, will have to wait until the next legislature to get their pay. Of the $110,000 appropriated for legislative expenses only $279 now remains in the treasury. This will not pay the stenographer's fee for taking and transcribing evidence in the investigation. FOUND FLOOD MONEY.—A St. Mary's man found two $20 bills sewed up in a dress shirt washed up in the flood. SHEEP SHEARING TIME.—J. N. Heyman, of DeGraff, Butler county, sheared 500 sheep this year, which averaged nine pounds to the fleece. This is a light yield but the quality is fine. Some of his bucks averaged 18 pounds. He sold his season's slip, at 16 cents a pound on the farm. WATHENA BLACKBERRIES.—The crop is the largest and finest ever. In the first three days over 10,000 crates were shipped, filling twelve cars. On July 17 five carloads were shipped. The ruling price is $1.50 a crate. HIGH WATERS.—The Solomon sent down a raise of four feet into the Smoky Hill, which washed a part of the wall of the mill dam at Junction City away. The dam had been weakened by the flood in May. This high water is hindering the work of building a wall across the channel that was cut around the end of the dam last month and continues to go through this channel doing considerable damage. ARMOURDALE STILL DESOLATE.—The place looks almost as desolate as it did a few days after the flood. Shawnee park is filled with a mass of houses, another mass is piled against the old viaduct, all the streets, except Kansas avenue, are blocked with houses sitting at all angles and lying upside down. Alleys, streets, lawns, back yards, cellars and houses are piled high with black, foul mud. BLACKBERRIES ON SAND.—West of Abilene is a large body of sand land that has been considered worth nothing except for pasture. N. C. Dyer has made a fruit farm of it and has raised three acres of blackberries this year that have paid $26 an acre on the first picking, one-fourth of the crop. The land that cost $10 an acre will return $100 an acre this year. LOSSES BY THE FLOOD.—A careful estimate of the damage done to property in Shawnee county by the flood compiled by the Topeka commercial club, shows that the losses will aggregate about $1,680,000. J. T. Anderson, the secretary has made a careful investigation, having secured his information from reliable sources. G. A. R. RELIEF FUND.—The G. A. R. flood relief fund now amounts to $2,020. Money is still coming in and it is thought the fund will grow for some time yet. Department Commander A. W. Smith will distribute the money among the various posts in the flooded district. The relief corps fund amounts to $1,000. FLOODED WHEAT.—Some of the farmers on the Smoky Hill bottoms where wheat was flooded to a depth of two feet for days have cut and threshed the grain, and find that therewas a far better supply of wheat than was anticipated. Yields of five or six bushals of wheat that tests fifty-five pounds are generally found. BEER FIRST ON NEW BRIDGE.—A brewery wagon was the first vehicle to cross the pile bridge over the Kaw opened for traffic at Kansas City. It was loaded with beer and crossed into Armourdale at fifteen minutes before 4 o'clock. No other wagons were allowed to cross until after five o'clock. OIL IN RUSH COUNTY.—A well is to be sunk at Bison and it will be watched with interest by all Central Kansas. There is not a gas well within 150 or 200 miles of Bison and that part of the state has always been considered outside the gas region. THREE GIRL BANDS.—At the Downs anniversary celebration on June 27 there are to be three girl bands from Phillipsburg, Smith Center and Downs. RIVERS ON RAMPAGE.—The Republican and Solomon rivers have been again sending down floods of water into the Kansas river at Junction City. MANUAL TRAINING.—There is a larger demand for manual training teachers in Kansas than the state will be able to supply for a year or two. CHURN 100,000 POUNDS A DAY.—One of the Topeka creameries has ten churns that each make 1,000 pounds of butter an hour. WESTERN COLORED PRESS.—On August 3-5 the Western Colored Press association will hold its annual session in Wichita. BROOM CORN ACREAGE.—It is the smallest in the broom corn district about Sterling in 25 years. FORD COUNTY CROPS.—The wheat, rye, barley and oats crops in Ford county will represent a value of $750,000, or about $125 for each man, woman and child in the county. The wheat area alone aggregates 60,000 acres, and the yield will average about twenty bushels to the acre. WASTED WHEAT.—The loss to Pratt county, Kansas, in wasted wheat, owing to the inability of the farmers to secure adequate harvest help, will be 75,000 bushels. This is the estimate of D. W. Blaine, of Pratt. FIRE AT DODGE CITY.—It destroyed the T. F. Garner livery barn, the H. B. Bell livery barn, the Lybran boarding house and numerous sheds. The buildings were covered by light insurance. The Dodge City Telephone company suffered considerable loss. BONDS FOR DEFICIENCY.—The board of commissioners of Sedgwick county have resolved to issue bonds to fill the $40,000 gap in the general fund. A new law gives the commissioners power to do this without submitting the matter to a vote by the people. WHERE ARE HIS RELATIVES.—Dan Reifor was found dead in a chair, in a house near Greensburg which he occupied alone. It is thought he came from Canada, and he had worked many years for C. P. Fullington, of Sedgwick county. The county attorney at Anthony is trying to find his heirs as he left considerable property. COLORED K. OF P.—The grand lodge of the world of colored Knights of Pythias, and the Ladies' Auxiliary, the I. O. O. C., will meet in Wichita on July 28 for a three days' session. LIVE STOCK Angoras in Illinois. From Farmers' Review: Having had considerable experience of late in the Angora goat business I will attempt to give the readers of the Farmers' Review a brief outline of what I have accomplished. Two years ago I had a woods pasture containing seventy acres, very brushy, so much so that on the previous year it pastured what would be an equivalent to nine cows for the season. After selling what wood I could I procured a flock of Angoras, which have completely eaten the underbrush and to-day I have as fine a cattle pasture as there is in the state. So much for the pasture. I will now prove to you that in killing the brush I did not kill the goats, as the man did with his sheep. The highest price I received for mohair the spring I bought my flock was 26c, last year 31c and this year 43½c. Two years ago my best goat sheared four pounds; this year my best goats sheared five, six and seven pounds. I also have one kid, which I sheared at ten months old, which sheared four and one-half pounds. When my kids were 5½ months old I weighed seven, which averaged 53 pounds each. I will further state that this gain was made without the use of any grain. After keeping account of the grain my goats ate this last winter I find that four cents each would pay the bill. The only time to feed grain is in time of a blizzard; the balance of the time hay or fodder, and when the weather is suitable the goat would rather be on the "rustle" to eat any of your prepared food. My flock originally came from New Mexico. When they landed in Warren County, Illinois, they were very emaciated, but none were lost through shipping. The does only one month after landing in Illinois produced an excellent crop of kids. Now, to be fair with the readers of the Farmers' Review, I will say after having seen hundreds—yes, thousands—of Angoras that were raised in the West and Southwest, Illinois can produce just as fine mohair, just as many pounds of mohair for every twelve months, and a heavier carcass at one year old, than many of the Southwest ranges. I would like to hear from others that are in the Angora goat business.—Jno. W. Coghill, Jr., Warren Co. Ill. Soundness in Market Horses. The most important requirements of a market horse is "serviceable" soundness; that is, he must have no chronic disease that will unfit him for work of a general nature. He must be sound in wind and in limb, able to do a reasonable amount of work without undue fatigue or premature breakdowns. The majority of the horses sold from a great market go to the city trade and are compelled to do their work on hard, unyielding pavements, pulling heavy loads, or developing speed that is an even greater strain on the feet and legs. The average period of usefulness on city streets of a horse that was sound at the start is not more than five years, and it is manifestly evident that this time will be materially decreased if he begins this work in an unsound condition. Broken wind, sidebones, unsound hocks, and all the vardous other ills that a horse is heir to should be strenuously guarded against as they greatly diminish his value.-Bulletin 37, Bureau of Animal Industry. The Long Hog. A Canadian writer on swine says: Some of us seem to think when we see a pig stretching out and growing, and not getting fat, that it is an expensive feeder. But this is not necessarily the case. It does not necessarily cost a cent more to produce a pound of gain in a pig of the right bacon type than it does in any other type. I have tried to prove it, but I could not demonstrate that the bacon type of hog is expensive to feed. I find it is an economical producer of bacon. There is no proof that it costs more to produce the bacon hog. If you get the right type and have a healthy, growthy, thrifty pig, that will stretch out instead of getting fat and dummy, you will have a hog that will feed economically. There may be some difference in regard to their suitability for pen feeding and grazing. I think some of the best grazers are the American breeds, and possibly the Berkshires. That is my experience so far as we have gone, but we have not followed it up very thoroughly yet. Anthrax an Old Disease Anthrax is the oldest contagious disease of domestic animals of which we have any record. In profane history the disease is more or less accurately described before the Christian era. In sacred history it seems to be identical with the dreadful Egyptian scourge described as the "Sixth plague." Plutarch mentions outbreaks of anthrax in Rome about 740 B. C. Another writer of Italian history says that the disease was extremely fatal to live stock towards the middle and last of the sixteenth century, A. D. Unscrupulous meat vendors at times sold such diseased meat to their customers which resulted in many cases of death from anthrax in man. On this account the senate at Venice prohibited, under penalty of capital punishment, the offering for sale of the meat of cattle affected by anthrax. AGRICULTURE Humus and Moisture. Decayed vegetable matter is humus. To have a good soil we must have a supply of vegetable matter in it. The chief advantage of this is in enabling the soil to hold water to a greater degree than would be the case did it not contain water. The eastern gardeners have been surprised sometimes to find that their soils would not respond to commercial fertilizers and that the land was becoming apparently very subject to drought. The trouble was that the humus had been exhausted by year after year growing crops upon it by the help of commercial fertilizers without putting on a particle of barnyard manure or turning under green crops. At the Minnesota experiment station tests were made on soils with a good supply of humus and those with little, as to water content. On one soil the humus was found to be 3.35 per cent of all. The water content was 16.48 per cent. The other soil contained 2.5 per cent of humus, and the water content was 12.14 per cent of the total. This difference has been figured out as about a quart of water per cubic foot of soil, which would mean over 10,000 gallons to the acre. In a dry season this difference would be a very great factor in the maturing of the crop. Plants do not eat; they drink. All food is taken in a liquid condition. If the water is absent the plant starves. The humus supply is therefore of prime importance in the developing of our farm crops. There is another great advantage in having a soil rich in humus and that is that the soil does not give off its water so rapidly as do soils where the humus is wanting. The roots go after the food and moisture and get them, but the water does not so rapidly pass to the surface of the ground. The humus acts as a sub-earth mulch, if such a term be allowable. It hinders the pumps of the sun and wind from taking moisture out of the soil, but helps them to take the moisture from the leaves of the plants, which method is serviceable to man. At the station mentioned the two soils were saturated with the same amount of water and exposed to the sun and wind for ten hours. At the end of that time the soil with the largest amount of humus contained 6.12 per cent of its water, while the other soil contained only 3.94 per cent. Pruning Potato Tops. That potato tops should not be pruned seems to be clearly proved by some experiments carried on at the Vermont Experiment station last season. In the annual report the director says: The moist, cool weather of July and August, 1902, led to unusual luxuriance in the development of potato tops, especially where they had been properly sprayed. This condition brought to the experiment station inquiries as to whether it was not desirable to check this tendency to vegetative vigor in some way, as for example, by breaking down the tops with a roller, or, by cutting them back. We have always advised against any such practice on theoretical grounds, but decided to put it to test this year, in the grounds of a local gardener. He wished the tops cut back in a portion of the field. This was done on August 12th. The stalks were then about three feet long when straightened out and arose about two feet above the soil. They were cut clean at a height of one foot above the soil, which removed the bulk of the foliage. These stalks sent out within a few days many new shoots, but this new growth began to yellow in about a week and the plants were dead by September 1st. In striking contrast the unclipped plants on either side were in full and vigorous foliage at this date and continued green through September; indeed, there were some green plants when they were dug the second week in October. Seven rows, each one hundred feet long and three and one-half feet apart, were handled experimentally, five unclipped and two clipped. The yields were as follows: Feeding Brood Sows. For brood sows in winter and very early spring, it is always advisable to give them access to a piece of early sown wheat or rye, and to let them have a limited amount of nicely cured clover, alfalfa or cowpea hay by way of variety of feed. Sorghum stalks grown as is customary for the production of syrup, in limited quantity, make an excellent addition to the ration. The main thing to be avoided in carrying hogs of this sort through the winter, is a straight corn diet. The greater the variety of cheap materials like these, the better the sows will do.—G. W. Waters. Adventitious buds are produced by some trees irregularly anywhere on the surface of the wood, especially where it has been mutilated or injured. Is Great Pheasant Shot. It is as a deadly pheasant-shot that King Edward has won his reputation as a marksman. He is considered, after Lord Walsingham and Lord de Grey, the finest pheasant-shot in England.

Mission Among Barbarians The American Presbyterians have established a new mission on the Sobat river, beyond Khartoum, and 2,000 miles below Egypt. It is an uncivilized region, and the language has nothing in common with the Egyptian Arabic. He Feels Good. Caddo, Ky., July 20th.—"I believe I could climb a mountain without drawing a long breath" is the way William Ball of this place describes how he is feeling. As Mr. Ball has been on the sick list for a long time, this declaration from him comes as quite a surprise. When asked to explain how he had become so strong in such a short time, he says: "I did have Kidney Trouble very bad, in fact I had to get up four or five times every night to urinate. I had shortness of breath which distressed me terribly. I was badly used up, and was really of no account for anything. "I used three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and that's what has made me well. I can sleep all night without having to get up. I feel splendid and as I said before, I believe I could climb a mountain without drawing a long breath. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it all."

"How many children have you?" asked the friend of his boyhood. "I have three. The oldest and youngest are girls, and the second child is a boy. My wife calls them the 'sandwich.' 'Huh!'" said the boyhood friend. "That's the first time I ever heard of a sandwich with the tongue on the outside." How to Copy Mission Furniture. A clever imitation of the popular Mission furniture designs may be obtained by a dull green stain applied carefully to old splint-bottomed chairs and settles. Any person who is skillful with the saw and hammer can easily produce odd little tables or book stands, their square shaping being very easy of execution. Oxidized gilt or silver nails give the necessary finishing touch. "SUMMER FOOD" Has Other Advantages. Many people have tried the food Grape-Nuts simply with the idea of avoiding the trouble of cooking food in the hot months. All of these have found something besides the ready cooked food idea, for Grape-Nuts is a scientific food that tones up and restores a sick stomach as well as repairs the waste tissue in brain and nerve center. "For two years I had been a sufferer from catarrh of the stomach due to improper food and to relieve this condition I had tried nearly every prepared food on the market without any success until six months ago my wife purchased a box of Grape-Nuts, thinking it would be a desirable cereal for the summer months. "We soon made a discovery, we were enchanted with the delightful flavor of the food and to my surprise I began to get well. My breakfast now consists of a little fruit, four teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, a cup of Postum, which I prefer to coffee, graham bread or toast and two boiled eggs. I never suffer the least distress after eating this and my stomach is perfect and general health fine. Grape-Nuts is a wonderful preparation. It was only a little time after starting on it that wife and I both felt younger, more vigorous, and in all ways stronger. This has been our experience. "P. S. The addition of a little salt in place of sugar seems to me to improve the food." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

LESSON IV., JULY 26—SAUL REJECTED AS KING. Golden Text—"To Obey Is Better Than Sacrifice"—I Samuel 15:22—God Requires Absolute Obedience From His Children—Hypocrisy. 1. "The Beginning of Saul's Disobedience."—I Sam. 13: 1-23. It was several years after the coronation before the first severe test of Saul's character came. The warlike Philistines dwelt along the Mediterranean, west of southern Palestine, a large part of which they had subjugated, establishing garrisons among the Hebrew towns and disarming the Israelites. Saul was compelled at last to move against these oppressors. He gathered an army at Gilgal, while the Philistines encamped in overwhelming numbers at Michmash near by. Saul had been commanded (1 Sam. 10: 8) to wait for Samuel's arrival, that the war of independence might begin under the direction of God's representative. Seven days he waited, and then, seeing his terrified troops melting away, he began the sacrifices in preparation for the battle. At this moment Samuel appeared, and sternly rebuked the king for his impunity. Saul did not keep the commandment of the Lord," said he. "Now thy kingdom shall not continue. The Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart." From that moment we can trace Saul's downfall. II. "Saul's Rashness and Jonathan's Boldness."—1 Sam. 14: 1-52. At this desperate juncture, relief came through an audacious attack upon an outpost of the Philistines, made by Jonathan with his arm-bearer. "There is no restraint to the Lord," Jonathan had nobly said, "to save by many or few." They slew twenty of the foe; and Saul, hearing the tumult, confused, and fell into confusion, the Philistines even killed one other; and the result was an utter rout. III. "Saul's Commission and His Disobedience."—1 Sam. 15: 1-12. Possibly it was eight or ten years after the war against the Philistines that the events of our lesson occurred. Samuel bore to Saul a message from Jehovah calling upon him to destroy the Amalekites, root and branch. This commission was suited to the fierce character of Saul, and he set about this task with zeal. With a great army of 20,000 men he swept over the entire country of the Amalekites, destroying the people and their cattle. In the end, the Amalekites, however, Agag (the "Consumer" or "Destroyer"), the king of the Amalekites, was reserved alive, together with the best of the oxen and the sheep. IV. "Saul Adds Hypocrisy to Disobedience."—Vs. 13-15. Having sinned, Saul chose to aggravate his sin by falsehood and hypocrisy. 13. "And Samuel came to Saul." at Gilgal. 13. "In the same place where Saul's kingdom had been confirmed it was to be pronounced."—Vs. 13-14, 14), the sentence on disobedience was to be pronounced."—Cambridge Bible. Saul's hypocrisy showed itself (2) in a hypocritical profession: "1 have performed the commandment of the Lord." V. "The Rebuke of Disobedience."—Vs. 16-21. Samuel could endure this miserable pretence no longer. He burst out and sailed Saul in a torrent of righteous wrath. 16. "Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, the Lord hath said to me this night." 17. "When thou wast little in thine own sight." Samuel had in mind Saul's own words of humility when he was chosen king (1. Sam. 9: 21). "Wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the Lord anointed the king." "That comments driver." "thou art in a position of commander, oughest to have restrained the people." 18. "And said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites." 19. "Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the Lord, but didst fly upon the spoil." "Expressive of eagerness, passionate craving." - Erdmann. 20. "And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the Lord." Saul has the audacity to bring forward the very items of his infidelity as if they were proofs of obedience: (1) he has brought Agag as evidence of his conquest; (2) the people have reserved the best of the spoil for a sacrifice. "And have gone the way which the Lord sent me. And have utterly destroyed the Amalekites." "Saul did not destroy Amalek, as he professed to have done. Before many years elapsed, these freebooters were again plundering Judah." -Shme. 21. But the people which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God." Thy God, "as if he had been showing honor to Samuel, as well to God, when he was disobeying both."—Wordsworth. VI. "The Fate of the Disobedient."—Vs. 22, and to the end of the chapter. The prophet now utters Saul's condemnation in bold words, which have terrified the hearts of the disobedient through all of them. 22. "And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices. To obey is better than sacrifice." Why Obedience is the Best Sacrifice. 1. Because obedience is the giving up of our will to that of God, and is therefore because it is a sacrifice that can be offered at any time or place. One can thus worship God on week days, and in the shop, office, or kitchen. 3. Because every man can offer this sacrifice for himself, he needs no priest or minister to act or speak for him. 4. Because this sacrifice alone makes other sacrifices acceptable. Apart from burning, obedience is necessary of God is pleasing to him.—Condensed from Harris. 23. "For rebellion" (against God's will) "is as sin of witchcraft," Witcraft, that is, the worship of evil spirits, was equivalent to a denial of God; and so was disobedience. "And stubbornness is as intuitive and unselfish," said him from being king. "God rejects Saul from being king over Israel, since he had rejected God from being King over Saul."—T. Adams. A Sham Repentance. The severity of Samuel's rebuke, and the stern prophecy which he uttered, may not to express his disbelief in Saul (15-24-31), but poor sort of repentance, very different from David's after his great sin (2 Sam. 12: 13; Psa. 51). Saul seemed chiefly concerned last Samuel should outwardly repudiate him, and thus throw his influence against him. As the indignant prophet curseur Saul (15-24-31), but he tearing his mantle, Samuel made a symbol of it: "The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day." 1 Life's Opportunities. We are like children, or men in a tennis court, and before our conquest is half won the dim twilight comes and stops the game; nevertheless, Jet us keep our places, and, above all things, hold fast by the law of life we feel within. Let us follow in His steps, and we shall attain to the ideal life; and, without waiting for our "mortal passage," tread the free and spacious streets of that Jerusalem which is above. To all of us are given full and free opportunities.—J. H. Shorthouse.

The machine with which Oldfield recently lowered the track record for automobiles is simply a unique piece of mechanism of his own devising made by Henry Ford, impracticable as an automobile because it can never be used on the public highway. A Chelsea (England) hospital is mourning the loss of a bequest of $6,000 through a legal informality. The testator signed his will in his bedroom, and the witnesses thoughtlessly carried it into another room before signing it, thus making the document invalid. The Traveler's Pillow. The fashion of carrying one's own pillow when travelling is being readily adopted by women who spend much of their time as tourists. Sheer linen embroidered with one's monogram is used for the cover, and can be easily laundered. The pillow is of down covered with China silk in any color. Capt. Gordon Casserly, of the English army, in his book on "The Land of the Boxers," records his surprise at meeting in a Chinese city a pigtailed individual who addressed him in fluent English with a Yankee twang. "Do you live in Samchun?" I asked him, in surprise. 'Not much, you bet,' he replied. 'I don't belong to this darned country any more. I live in "Frisco."' GET WELL-STAY WELL. Doan's Kidney Pills.

For DEFIANCE STARCH PE-RU-NA IS OF ESPECIAL BENEFIT TO WOMEN CONSTANTLY increasing number of physicians prescribe Peruna in their regular practice. It has proven its merits so thoroughly that even the doctors have overcome their prejudice against so called patent medicines and recommend it to their patients. "I Advise Women to Use Pe-ru-na," Says Dr. Gee. Dr. M. C. Gee is one of the physicians who endorse Peruna. In a letter written from 513 Jones street, San Francisco, Cal., he says: "There is a general objection on the part of the practicing physician to advocate patent medicines, but when any one medicine cures hundreds of people, it demonstrates its own value and does not need the endorsement of the profession. "Peruna has performed so many wonderful cures in San Francisco that I am convinced that it is a valuable remedy. I have frequently advised its use for women, as I find it insures regular and painless menstruation, cures leucorrhea and ovarian troubles, and builds up the entire system. I also consider it one of the finest catarrh remedies I know of. I heartily endorse your medicine."—M. C. Gee, M. D. Mrs. E. T. Gaddis, Marion, N. C., is one of Dr. Hartman's grateful patients. She consulted him by letter, followed his directions, and is now able to say the following: "Before I commenced to take Peruna I coule not do any hard work without suffering great pain. I took Peruna, and can say with pleasure that it has done more for me than any other medicine I have ever taken. Now I am as well as ever; I do all my own work and it never hurts me at all. I think Peruna is a great medicine for woman-kind."—Mrs. E. T. Gaddis. Women are especially liable to pelvic catarrh, female weakness as it is commonly called.

According to last year’s rec. ord we are till paying pensions to four widows and foua daughters of the Revolutionary wer, and that wat enued nearly a hundred and twenty years ago, One survivor of the war of 1812 ia yet getting his quarterly pension checks ard 1,217 widows of his comrades are dving likewise. There are 6,828 Mexican war pensioners living and the wid- ows of 8,017 are drawing pensions on that acoount. The aumber of civil war pensioners a year ago was 999,446. AviCz present time there are 65,000 applications on aceount of the war with Spain in 1898, and 13,090 of them favorably acted on, Itis calculated that ,withing a few months there will be one applicant for a spanish war persion for every two of thh soldiers enlisted in that war. “The pension agents are do- ing a lard office business in this jine and when we calculate the number of young men in that army and their ma:rioges at later periods thao this ib is pla.n fo be reckoned that in the year 2003 we will have quite a comfortable Spanish war persion list still on hand, The bareau figures that the last of thes pensions may be paid out in the year 200. —Athauta Constitation.

"To Live and Let Live," is OUR Motto. The picnic given by the New Hope Baptist church at Linwood Park, Thursday, July 23rd, was a grand success. Owing to the editors wife be ming very suddenly ill while on the way, he did not get out; however our best wishes were with the church and we would have been there had it not been for this unforeseen incident. A few drops of rain would be very much appreciated at this time. It is needed. Mrs. W. N. Miller was taken very suddenly ill Thursday afternoon while on the way with her husband to attend the picnic at Linwood park given by the New Hope Baptist church. She was at once taken to the Searchlight office where medical assistance was hastily summoned. After about one hour's work Dr. Shultz advised that she be removed home. We are, however, more than proud to announce that at this time she is up and feeling much improved. The sudden illness the doctor claimed was caused by nervous prostration brought on by the intense saty heat. It is indeed a very poor kind of a man who would borrow money from a poor, hard working woman and then refuse to pay her back. This is what we call a dead beat. Listen for more to come. Pleased Him. "I think we might give Bridge a dollar more a week," said the family man. "What?" exclaimed his wife. "I set her to work cleaning the parlor to day, and you should see the way she left it." "I did. That's what influenced me. I noticed she fixed the piano with the keyboard close up against the wall." "Come to think of it he draws." "Indeed! What does he draw?" "His breath." They Worried Him Greatly. "Debt," remarked the frugal man, "a terrible thing." "It is," answered the cold citizen. "Nothing annoys me more than debts." "I didn't know you owed anything." "I don't. I refer to what other people owe me." NIGHBOORHOOD PICNIC W. N. A. MEETING August 3, 4, 5, 1903.

Main McKee, to A. N. West) Hose, Windmills DAIRY Locating the Creamery. The keen competition in modern butter making necessitates systematized work. The minor details closely filled, in this vocation, must be taken into consideration in order to lessen the cost of manufacturing butter and at the same time to produce an improved article. To do this we must look for the most improved and ecological methods, take advantage of natural means, locate judiciously, manage affairs on business principles, and look for most convenient arrangement. The latter is the easiest to obtain and yet in glancing over the different factories that are in existence at the present time, we find this point sadly neglected. There is need for better creamy buildings, buildings that are more convenient in management so that they can be kept sanitary. In launching into this business we must first look for a suitable location. The most necessary requirement is to locate near the center of a milk producing district, or rather a section of the country where the people are naturally inclined toward dairy. It is essential to have a sufficient number of cows to insure enough milk to make a creamy milkable. The total cost of running creamy and marketing the product, including interest on the investment and provision for a sinking fund, cannot not to exceed $3½ cents for every pound of butter made. Under favorable conditions this cost ought to be reduced to 3 or even as low as $1½ cents. The smallest practical creamy cannot be operated for less than or $5 per day. It becomes evident that the daily product should be over 150 pounds as a safe minimum. consequently no creamy should be put into operation unless having control or a promise of about 300 cows. A reliable supply of good pure water is another requisite of great importance. Cold water is advantageous in every respect and at the same time gives ice. The surroundings should such as to insure pure air with as much dust and direct exposure to sunlight as possible. A lawn around the creamy with some trees and shrubs will aid in purifying the air besides making the surroundings more attractive. A creamy should be located within reasonable distance of some climbing point, where the product can be marketed to the best advantage and so that the factor of transportation shall not enter in to offset the profit.-Oscar Eif, Before Wisconsin bottlers. The Cow and the Milker The Cow and the Milker. From Farmers' Review: The cow is the greatest source of contamination in the production of milk. When cows are kept in a filthy stable, as is frequently the case, they are often covered with dust at milking time, and their sides, flanks, belies and udders are sometimes plastered with moisture. Cows in this condition cannot be milked without seriously contaminating the product. They should be kept clean at all times, and this is not so difficult to do if the mangers are properly arranged, the stalls of the right length, and a fair amount of bedding is used. All loose dirt should be brushed from the cows and the saddles should be washed before milking. If the cows are in the stable the greater part of the time the dung should be removed at least twice a day, and the stable should be so arranged that there is an abundance of dust and good ventilation, even in coldest weather, without causing a draft directly upon the cows. The door and mangers should be cleaned frequently and the walls and stalls scrubbed and whitewashed as often as they become soiled. Bedding and dry mudder should not be moved just previous to milking, as this makes a dust which settles into the milk, carrying with it many bacteria. The air outside is usually comparatively free from germs and the better the ventilation the fewer germs will the stable air contain. Many times the milkker to his task of brushing horses or doing other dirty work, with his hands soiled and his clothing thickly covered with dust. Both soiled hands and dusty clothing are loaded with germs that injure milk. Before beginning to milk the milkker should cleanse his hands and slip on a clean suit and may which are used for no other purpose and which may be easily washed. He should always milk with dry hands and never allow his hands to come in contact with the milk.—W. J. Fraser, University of Illinois. Babcock and Gerber Tests. In the United States and Canada, and even in Australia and New Zealand, the Babcock test is considered supreme as a determiner of the fat in butter. But in Holland and Germany, the Gerber test is the favorite, it is also said to be making considerable headway in England. Those that use it claim that it is more accurate than the Babcock test. We doubt if this can be substantiated. One thing in favor of it perhaps is that it does not require the use of sulphuric acid, which some dislike to handle or to have around. The Babcock test, however, has behind it the favorable opinion of the leading dairy scientists of the world. As a ready and effective test it is probably superior to any thing in existence, not excepting the Gerber. a woman doesn't care anything about the silver linings of clouds if her gown is only silk-lined.

Women make the best and most successful poultry raisers, though perhaps not always the most keen traders when it comes to the buying and selling of poultry and poultry products. But for the mere raising of birds and bringing them to maturity she is a success. It is partly because she has the instincts of a mother and see things that the man poultry raiser does not. In the first place she makes a continual war on dirt and lice. She abhors them in the poultry house as she would in her own family. She wages on these two public enemies such a warfare that she conquers them, and when she has won that victory she has gone a good way toward success. For the most disastrous things in the line of poultry pests are dirt or lice. Some years ago the Farmers' Review sent out a large number of inquiries to poultry raisers asking what was the greatest cause of losses in the poultry business. The replies that came back said lice, more chicks being lost from lice than from any other one cause. So we see that the woman, in getting rid of the lice, has removed the first great cause of failure with chicks. The woman succeeds also because she takes infinite pains with what she is trying to do. She does not feel that she has to do everything on a wholesale scale—that she has to have the houses cleaned once a month, "when they have become dirty enough to make it an object to clean them." She has enough care about their cleanly condition to have them cleaned several times a week, and sometimes she has the work done every day. She watches for the coming of the lice and does not wait till there are a million or more before discovering them. Under such a condition it is not easy for vermin to get a start, and without getting a good start they cannot become formidable. The woman also succeeds because she has an interest in the appearance of the premises. She objects to delapidation in every form. The old fence is whitewashed, the netting is mended as soon as it gets a hole in it, and the rat hole is stopped up as soon as it is made. The windows are so arranged that they will dry the floors as well as give light to the poultry. These are some of the reasons why the woman succeeds admirably in the care of fowls. Brown Leghorns as Layers From Farmers' Review: In my opinion Brown Leghorns are the best layers of all the hens and lay a large egg, as they are bred to-day larger than Plymouth Rock hens. I of course breed in my pullet line the large sized S. C. Brown Leghorns and not the small kind, as they did for years back. They are easy to breed and hatch well, and I can get about as many chicks from 75 Brown Leghorn eggs as I can from 100 Plymouth Rocks, and a Brown Leghorn lays well for many years, while a Plymouth Rock lessens it the second and third year. I feed well cooked grain and vegetables but this food does not fatten them, while the larger breeds get fat and a fat hen will not lay. My experience is that I can make more money in raising eggs for market than I can in raising poultry. To raise early chicks for spring market is very expensive, and in the fall prices are too low for any profit. The S. C. Brown Leghorn is a very stylish bird. It pays to produce eggs for market and the Leghorns will do the job. They are called the egg machines, and so they are.—H. M. Moyer, Berkes County, Pennsylvania. Light Brahmas. The leading variety of the Asiatic class is the light Brahma. This fowl has a history that would fill pages were it recorded. They are the fowls which caused the "hen fever" of the fifties, about which so much has been written in later years. Their early history is a matter of controversy, the best authorities differing as to their origin. They were first known as the "Brahma Pootras," "Gray Shanghaiis," "Chittagongs," "Cochin Chinas," and what not. The early breeder named them according to his fancy for high sounding and sensational names to sell his stock. Fabulous prices were paid for them when the craze for fine poultry was at its height in the early days of the last half of the present century. The standard of the present Brahma fowl was fixed in 1869, and no deviation from the type adopted then has been made. It has stood high in popular favor since then without abatement; the vast number of breeders who are raising them fully attest their worth as a practical bird to the industry—Geo. E. Howard. Shade in Pastures. From Farmers' Review: My pastures are large and in both of them there is plenty of shade, and when the sun is hot the cattle, horses and sheep will keep close in the shade. I do not believe that if it was not good for them they would keep in the shade but would lie in the sun. When the weather is very hot they keep close under the shade, and when it gets cooler they come forth and graze. If my pastures had no shade I would erect posts and cover with boards to keep them from the burning sun.—J. H. Beirne, Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. Any person who buys a bottle of hair restorer from a bald-headed drug-gist has genuine faith. The provinces of Rizal and Laguna are more disaffected than any others in the island of Luzon and have been filled with ladrone bands, which still exist in a scattered condition. The route to the volcano, Taal, lies through these provinces. There is a line of steam launches—boats perhaps ninety feet in length—owned and mismanaged by Filipinos, which takes the traveler part of the distance from Manila to Taal, passing through the whole length of the River Pasig and through the lake from which the district of Laguna takes its name. The road from Calamba to Ambalon, the village nearest the volcano, was a native road. The ride was a wild dream, or, rather, nightmare. The vehicle, drawn by two native ponies, was the complete and perfect work of the evil one. It rattled, lifted and Caribou A farmer pulls a bullock cart in the streets of a village in the Philippines. Caribou and Cart. threatened to go to pieces. The seat of the vehicle was of hardwood; the makers had not considered the possibility of their containing anyone larger than a Flippino and the head of a fairly tall American just touched the roof. Every time the cart struck a stone the American's head struck the roof and as this road was all stones the tops of our heads were pretty well mashed by the time the lake was reached. The end of this ride brought us to the lake—Bombon or Taal lake—which is about ten miles long and seven or eight wide. The volcano is on an island in the center of the lake and is reached by dugout boats, with outriggers of bamboo to steady them. The volcano is not a particularly impressive mountain from a distance, there being several other mountains within sight of three times its height. The ascent is easy, over a bed of cinders, and can be made by an athletic person without once stopping to rest. The crater is about a mile across and can be entered by a gap broken in the vertical wall near the top. Inside the wall drops about 100 feet straight down, but below this there is a long slope of cinders, at an angle of about thirty degrees from the vertical, which may be descended by making diagonal tacks across its face. At the bottom of the crater is a small central crater, from which issues a roaring jet of steam, from a vent hole about fifteen THE BATHS kc Common Scene in Paslg River. feet across. There are other steam vents, but this one is the largest. After leaving the volcano the mad ride recommenced. We had passed over the road the first time in the middle of the night, but the return trip was made by day. All along the road the native population was strung out to see the caravan of Americans.

At least we had all we wanted of it, the family using the room that we did not occupy. There was one large room, divided by a wardrobe into two sections. The floor was of strips of bamboo, one inch wide, with spaces of a quarter of an inch between them. The furniture consisted of two bamboo benches and a stand two feet by eighteen inches and three feet high. The floor served for bed, dining table and washstand. In fact, everyone squatted in real Asiatic fashion. In this town there was a Chinese restaurant, with a Chinaman who spoke English. He had a printed bill of fare, in English, which quoted prices for oysters, pork chops, beefsteak and other things. We asked what he actually had on hand, and it appeared that he had fried chicken and eggs. and Cart. We ordered the whole bill of fare and after a short time we heard loud squawking in the kitchen, and then the Chinaman stuck a beaming face into the room, saying: "Can do much chucky squawk, much chucky fry, can do!" He was just killing the chickens, after going around the neighborhood to find them. After eating we were ready for sleep. We went to our house to find all the women of the house waiting to put us to bed. It seems to be the correct thing to put a guest safely to bed, and there they were waiting for us to undress and to put the pillows under our heads and cover us up. The floor was covered with pieces of matting and all the cushions in the house laid for us to sleep on; and as one of the cushions was a little soiled the lady of the house got out from the wardrobe her own white petticoat and wrapped it around the cushion for a pillow case. Lying awake after the house was quiet I heard a faint scuffing, and, peeping out, I saw the whole family going to bed on the other part of the floor, back of the wardrobe that formed a partial partition between us and the rear of the house. Before leaving the subject of the Filipino houses in their villages I should say they have in many of these villages a stream of water running along the side of the road, in front of the houses, and two or three stone steps leading down to the water in 15 front of each house. In the early morning the women put on their bathing dresses and take their little ones down to this stream to wash. The stream is also used to wash clothing. I am not sure whether they all drink the water, but I know some of them do so. Pink pearls are found only off the Bahama islands. Keller Art Co. ER IN WINDOW SHADESAN DINGS.

Dr. Abernethy, a man proverbial intolerant of mere fads and crooked had yet a strong personal objection to sleeping in damp sheets. The Iron Duke (and it may be remarked in passing that Lord Roberts of our own day has a similar aversion) would grow quite uneasy if she up in the same room with a mad dog.
