Wichita Searchlight

SUPPLEMENT TO THE SEARCHLIGHT. Wichita, Kansas, Saturday Nov. 7, '03 It is denied that King Peter of Servia is a prisoner under his own horse-hair sofa. Capt. Kidd, had he lived a little later, might have been a financier instead of a pirate. The war in the Balkans will now have to wait for spring—which may bring better counsels. The congressional directory may now place both of the New York senators in the "paired" column. Americans use 140,000,000 safety pins annually, yet there is many a gap twist the waist and the skirt. When a girl walks backward with dress on hind part before in Brooklyn they call it an initiation ceremony. Despite reports of prosperity many persons throughout the country are so poor they still play the piano by hand. England may not be drawn into the trouble between Russia and Japan, but the English alphabet will suffer terribly. The baldheaded man takes no stock in the scientific ultimatum that the housely has but six feet and one tongue. George Vanderbilt has found it necessary to take refuge where the people are used to baronial outfits and don't mind them. Fortunately the Carroll college student who had his jaw broken at football is not a member of the college debating team. King Edward has suddenly taken a fit on to be more saving. Other European royalty might well follow Edward's example. The boarding house keepers will be compelled to invent another excuse for pie crust; it appears that Swift failed to corner lard. There is nothing surprising in a young woman's winning the prize as the champion wielder of the lariat. Women are born adepts at "roping in." Lucile Mulhall, aged 18, who roped a steer, threw him and tied him up in forty-three seconds, ought to have no particular trouble in lassoing a husband. There will always be a lot of conservative, old-fashioned persons who would rather wait for the milk train than travel at the rate of two miles a minute. By this time the president has the White House furnace in operation and Mrs. Roosevelt has looked in all the closets to see what the moths have been eating. Miss Jane Browley, aged 19, and George Briston, aged 61, have been wedded in New Jersey. Perhaps it is unnecessary to state that the groom is worth $100,000. Before traveling on that high-speed railway in Berlin the passengers take out big life insurance policies. And yet we are called a swift and overstrenuous people! With our customary repugnance to anything that savors of vulgar display we "play up" the fact that the banquet given in Boston to the English artillerymen cost $60,000. If Sir Thomas Lipton's proposal for an ocean yacht race is to be carried out next spring, the wireless telegraph people will have the chance of their lives to earn a reputation and a dollar. A new Pittsburg theater is to be planned so that automobiles may drive right up to the boxes. With some plays this will be a distinct advantage in giving sufferers a chance to get away quickly. A New York woman who lost her voice three years ago has had her speech restored by the application of electricity. Every effort was made to cure her, as she was not married.—Salt Lake Herald. When it comes to answering Mr. Balfour's warm invitations to come into the ministry and get into trouble up to their eyebrows most of the leading Conservatives have pressing engagements elsewhere. An investigator with a microscope and a large stock of patience has found out that there are 200 kinds of mosquitoes. Some men are never happy except when they are digging up trouble for other people. Of course it will be interesting to read what a grandson writes of his grandfather, but for downright originality and continuity of interest give us a grandfather's remarks on the life and deeds of his six-year-old grandson. In one year more than 5,000 books have been stolen from the New York Public Library. As this is an increase of some 2,000 over the previous year, shall we take it as an indication of the growing yearning for knowledge on the part of the American public? THE TARIFF TIN KERING INCUBATOR. FREE TRADE INCREASED IMPORTS FOREIGN COMPETITION RECIPROCITY TARIFF REVISION FREE TRADE INCUBATOR ENORMOUS BENEFITS ENORMOUS BENEFITS EFFECT OF FREE TRADE AND PROTECTION ON RAILROADS. Against a Loss of $413,000,000 in Gross Receipts, 1893 to 1897, There Has Been an Increase of $1,764,000- 000 from 1898 to 1902 Inclusive. According to page 407 of the Statistical Abstract of the United States for 1902, fiscal year, published by our useful Bureau of Statistics, the gross receipts of our railroads, in the four Democratic fiscal years, 1894-1897, were, compared with 1893, Republican fiscal year: 1893..... $1,207,000,000 1894..... 1,064,000,000 1895..... 1,062,000,000 1896..... 1,125,000,000 1897..... 1,132,000,000 The decreases from 1893, McKinley tariff year, were: 1894..... $141,000,000 1895..... 115,000,000 1896..... 82,000,000 1897..... 75,000,000 Then came the change. By the pen of William McKinley a brighter state of affairs was inaugurated on July 24. 1897, when the Republican Dingley protective tariff became a law. Now compare the railroad gross receipts of 1897 (low tariff Democratic) fiscal year, with the Republican protective tariff fiscal years since to 1902, the THE TARIFF TIME FREE INCREASED IMPORTS RECIPROCITY TAT REVI INCUBA last fiscal year for which figures are yet published: 1897.....$1,122,000,000 1888.....1,249,000,000 1898.....1,280,000,000 1900.....1,501,000,000 1901.....1,612,000,000 1902.....1,726,000,000 The figures for 1902 are from the New York Times of September 26, 1903. The increases over 1897, under Republicanism and protection, were: 1888.....$117,000,000 1899.....394,000,000 1900.....264,000,000 1901.....480,000,000 1902.....594,000,000 Republican gain.....$1,754,000,000 Here is a gain to owners and workers alike of one thousand seven hundred and sixty-four millions of dollars (gold dollars, not the Bryan, three-cent Johnson kind of dollars), in five years, equal to $352,800,000 gain each year. Inasmuch as, irrespective of allied railroad interests—supplies, etc.—fully 50 per cent of gross railroad earnings is paid out immediately for wages to railroad employees; these figures show that such wage earners are directly indebted to Republicanism and protection for $882,000,000 in five years, or $176,400,000 each year. It is worthy of note that in the first Republican fiscal year after Democratic misrule—namely 1898, the rebound was so effective as to make the earnings $47,000,000 more than the prior Republican fiscal year, 1893, and the increase has gone on increasing each Republican year since. Further, as the Democratic party is now advocating the same principles (and worse) which it advocated in 1892, and used in the fiscal years ending June 30, 1894 to 1897, it is possible that any voter engaged in railroad or allied interests can, if he studies his own welfare, vote now or at any time for that party of disappointment and loss? There is a broader view and a wider interest still. The official and undisputed figures quoted above show loss of $413,000,000 in the four Democratic years, equal to $103,250,000 yearly. It is fair to presume that that ratio of loss would have continued, if not increased, had Democratic policies prevailed in the fiscal years 1898 to 1902. In such case the additional loss in railroad earnings for the five years would have been $516,250,000. Consequently the real gain attributable to Republican policies and control is: Estimated Democratic loss, 1888-1902 ..... $ 516,000,000 Actual Republican gain, 1888- 1902 ..... 1,764,000,000 Real Republican gain ..... $2,280,000,000 Half of this inures to the direct benefit of railroad wage earners, and all the rest, except bond interest and occasional dividends, to the benefit of the wage-earners of allied interests and the country at large. Results and facts like these speak louder than tons of argument. Walter J. Ballard. Schoenectady N. N. CAUSED BY THE TARIFF. Republicans Willing to Take Responsibility for Prosperity. sibility for Prosperity. Mr. John F. Clarke, Democratic candidate for the United States Senate in Ohio, opened the campaign in his state with the statement that the country was face to face with a panic and industrial depression, all, according to Mr. Clarke, brought about "by the disturbance of business caused by the high tariff taxes." Save during a brief period, when Democratic views on the tariff were in legislative effect this country has been under high protective tariff for a generation. During all that time, save during the period when the Democratic tariff was in effect, this country has steadily advanced in wealth and prosperity. Its industrial expansion has been the marvel of the civilized world. Under this tariff system it has become the foremost industrial nation of the KERING INCUBATOR. TRADE FOREIGN COMPETITION DIFF VISION FREE TRADE ATOR world, and its commerce has expanded in like proportion. Since the present tariff law came into effect the advance of the country in all of these directions has been immeasurably greater than it was during any similar period of time in the nation's previous history. This is the condition which has been brought about, in Mr. Clarke's language, by "the high tariff taxes." Republicans are perfectly willing to admit that the conditions which the country is enjoying are the direct result of the application of the protective tariff principle. They are perfectly willing that the responsibility shall rest on them for bringing about these results. The "disturbance of business" which has followed since Democratic legislation on the tariff was repealed and Republican legislation on the subject was substituted, is such a disturbance as has brought relief and gratification to the home of every wage-earner in the land. Mr. Clarke says the credit is due to Republican legislation. So it is—Seattle Post-Intelligencer. More Cotton in Their Ears. It is not at all likely that any part of the country held by the Republican party will chance a repetition of the experience of the years between 1893-6. Whatever the Northwest contributed to the election of Mr. Cleveland was paid for in the contrition of the years that followed. It is eminently true that the conditions have changed, brought about by the protective tariff policy of the Republican party, which has spread plenty and prosperity over the Northwest, with the rest of the country. All the Western States that ran amuck on Populism have returned to the Republican party, and it is not reasonable they are now going to stand for Cleveland or any other man who "has a moderate leaning toward tariff revision"—not at this time, at any rate. If to refuse to interfere with the present prosperity is "stubborn deafness" on the part of Republican leaders, then it would be well to stuff more cotton in their ears—Wheeling Intelligencer. Prosperity Under Republican Rule. Prosperity Under Republican Rule. The people of the United States consume the equivalent of 95 per cent of all we produce, and upon this fact Secretary Shaw declares that "not while these conditions continue will prosperity cease." Can there be a reasonable doubt as to the soundness of this view?-Omaha Bee. SIR HENRY MORTIMER DURAND Sir Henry Mortimer Durand has been appointed British ambassador to Washington to succeed the late Sir Michael Herbert. Sir Henry is at present ambassador to Spain, and formerly was ambassador to Persia. He is 53 years old. He was political secretary to Lord Roberts during the Cabul campaign in 1879, was foreign secretary to India from 1884 to 1894. WAVES GIVE UP DIAMOND. Property of Atlantic City Physician Recovered at Pennsgrove, N. J. Dr. John M. Summerill of Pennsgrove, N. J., while walking along the shore, found a necktie in which was a diamond pin. The tie and pin belonged to Dr. Albert D. Cuskaden of Atlantic City. Last Sunday, while the wind was blowing very hard, both doors of the pilot house on the launch Widgeon, Dr. Cuskaden's boat, were blown open and the wind carried out the tie, which was hanging in the pilot house. When the boat reached New Castle Dr. Cuskaden wired back that he had lost the pin and offered a reward. Since that time the shore had been crowded at low water by people searching for the gem, but it had eluded the eyes of all until Dr. Summerill sped it among a lot of weeds and grass. The Babies of Zion. One of the incidents of the Zion crusade in New York that appeared to strike the wicked Gothamites with force was the Zion baby. "Check the baby. Check the baby. No'm, you can't take the baby into meeting. Two flights up and turn to your right—that's the checkroom." The guard at the door of Madison Square garden told this to forty-three mothers one day. Checking the babies is not a new incident in the lives of Zion women. They are used to it; and so are the babies. All day long, while the restoration host was out on the streets of wicked New York crying "Peace!" to strangers, the babies of the host were giving the ten Zion nurses about all they could do to maintain peace in the baby's checkroom. A typical umbrella and cane check system is used. At the matron's desk there is a huge pincushion containing tags with safety pin adjustments and coupon slips. When a baby is left in the checkroom, the pin and tag are attached to its slip and the mother gets the corresponding coupon. A healthy, happy, well-lunged lot of babies they are. "Why, do you see that little one?" asked the matron. "That baby is the youngest in the host. It's only six weeks old. Its mother is here. She's out making visitations to-day." Chamberlain the Son. Here is T. P. O'Connor's estimate of Austen Chamberlain, son of a famous father: "Of young Mr. Chamberlain I have only to say that he looks the image of his father, with the lines softened and refined by the admixture of another being and another race, that he has had the advantage of university training over his father and that, altogether, he is a replica of his parent, with a certain amount of the strength and vehemence taken out. He is nimble, industrious, eventempered, self-possessed, a parliamentary good young man." Well-Known Irish Woman Here Well-Known Irish Woman Here Miss Mary A. Daly of Cappoquin, Ireland, was one of the passengers arriving at New York last week. Because of her work in attempting to revive the ancient Irish industry of point lacemaking among the peasants or Ireland Miss Daly is one of the best known women in that country. She has devoted years of study to this work and some of Miss Daly's handiwork found its way into the royal family. and while holding the latter post accompanied Lord Dufferin to Mandalay during the Burmese war in 1886, conducted the Thibet frontier negotiations in 1888, and led the British mission to the Ameer of Afghanistan in 1893. He has been at Madrid two years. Lady Henry is a daughter of the late Capt. Thomas Sandys of the British navy. Mrs. Evenic Becomes Mrs. Garvz for a Consideration. At Irwin, Pa., Casnif Garvz counted out $55 into the hands of Mike Evanic, while beside them stood the latter's young vife, holding a 6-months-old baby. The money was the purchase price of the woman, Evanic giving a receipt and stipulating that he release all claim to her. Evanic kissed the baby and turned away without the least emotion. Garvz then took his newly purchased wife on a shopping tour and afterward invited friends to his home in Hemlock row to celebrate the event. According to the woman's story Evanic had not provided for her and wanted to drive her from the house. When Garvz heard of this he opened negotiations for the woman, to which she offered no objection. An Economical Millionaire. Though worth several millions, Hugh McLaughlin, the Brooklyn Democrat's boss, spends very little money on himself, his clothing at times being absolutely shabby. His chief lieutenant, James Shevlin, is a relative by marriage, and a dealer in shoes. "Come over to my store," said Shevlin one day, "and get you a pair of good shoes made." The old man demurred at first, but finally consented and was measured for a fine pair. Shortly afterward he received a bill for $12, just about three times as much as he is accustomed to pay for footwear. He looked at the document gravely for a minute, wrote across the face of it: "Collect from Shevlin; he's responsible," remailed it to the sender and has heard nothing more about the matter. Pen Picture of Jules Verne. An Englishman who recently visited Jules Verne describes the aged author as follows: "The Jules Verne I saw was by no means the Jules Verne I had mentally pictured, but he was, if possible, more attractive and charming. Picture a fairly stout, white-haired and bearded man, with dark, restless, humorous brown eyes, full of kindness, a suit of black, only relieved by the red button of the Legion of Honor, and throwing into relief his grand head and the silver of his hair—and you have a fairly life-like picture of the genial host who bade us welcome and inundated me with polite inquiries." Few Butternuts This Season. A Bennington, Vt., man who is a trapper and a gatherer of ginseng root, says that of the hundreds of butternut trees that he has examined this season he discovered one butternut and that he brought home with him as a curiosity. There is a fairly good crop of walnuts and some chestnuts. It is thought that the continued cool weather and late light frosts that prevailed at the time the nut bearing trees were in blossom were the cause of the failure of the crop. Diplomat a Noted Linguist. Senor Arciniagas, the Colombian diplomat who is now visiting Washington, is a linguist of notable attainment, but never speaks a foreign language if he can possibly help it. He has mastered nearly all European tongues so far as reading them is concerned, his object being to study the literature of the various countries, but has never learned to speak any of them with ease. Great "Scoop." Modern newspaper enterprise is the wonder of the world. One of our contemporaries recently published a news story with this heading: "St. Paul's Sermon to the Men of Athens." Italians Eat Little Meat. Tanians Eat Little Meat. It has been remarked that most Italians of the poorer classes are noted for their general good health. This is said to be due to the fact that the working people of Italy eat less meat than those of any other European nation. The Wiser Course. Bion was sailing and there fell out a great tempest and the mariners, that were wicked and dissolute fellows, called upon the gods; but Bion said to them: "Peace; let them not know you are here." Fond of Nightmares One thing at least can be said in favor of nightmares, namely, no matter how terrifying they are they never reach the climax. They may take you through seven hells and cause the most awful torture, but they eventually land you wide awake in bed, happy over the escape. I cannot say as much for day mares.—New York Press. The Teacher Won. Hinton, Ky., Nov. 2.—For over two years two of the best physicians in this part of the State have been treating Mr. E. J. Thompson, a popular local school teacher, for Diabetes. They told him that but little could be done to help him. He made up his mind to try a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and says: "They saved me when the doctors held out no hope. I took in all about ten boxes. I will always praise Dodd's Kidney Pills for the great good they have done for me." Many people, and some physicians, still persist in the belief that Diabetes is an incurable disease. Our teacher, Mr. Thompson, says it is curable, for Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him after two good physicians had treated him for two years without success. A remedy that will cure Diabetes will surely cure any case of Kidney Trouble.

Produce Plenty of Fuel. Groves of the eucalyptus tree, known as blue gum or managum, may be cut to the ground for fuel when they are five or seven years old and every six or eight years subsequently. The yield from each cutting is commonly fifty to seventy-five cords of four-foot wood an acre. Longest Bridge. The longest bridge in the world is the Lion Bridge, near Sangang, in China. It extends five and a quarter miles over an arm of the Yellow Sea, and is supported by 300 huge stone arches. The roadway is 70 ft. above the water, and is enclosed in an iron network. Some Large Numbers The total number of employees of all the corporations is 400,000, and they receive in wages nearly $200,000,000. The employees of these combinations number only 8 per cent of all employees in the factories in which combination would be possible. The Ubiquitous Mosquito. The mosquito, which injects yellow fever with its proboscis, bites by day as well as by light, and is called the day or striped mosquito. It is found chiefly in cities, where it breeds in any chance receptacle of standing water. The eggs are laid in standing water, and although the receptacle may dry up, the eggs do not desiccate, but will hatch as soon as it again contains water. LIKED HIS "NIP." Not a Whisky, but a Coffee Toper. Give coffee half a chance and with some people it sets its grip hard and fast. "Up to a couple of years ago," says a business man of Brooklyn, N. Y., "I was as constant a coffee drinker as it was possible to be, indeed, my craving for coffee was equal to that of a drunkard for his regular 'nip' and the effect of the coffee drug upon my system was indeed deplorable. "My skin lacked its natural color, my features were pinched and my nevers were shattered to such an extent as to render me very irritable. I also suffered from palpitation of the heart. "It was while in this condition I read an article about Postum Food Coffee and concluded to try it. It was not long before Postum had entirely destroyed my raging passion for coffee and in a short time I had entirely given up coffee for delicious Postum. "The change that followed was so extraordinary I am unable to describe it. Suffice it to say, however, that all my troubles have disappeared. I am my original happy self again and on the whole the soothing and pleasant effects produced by my cup of Postum make me feel as though I have been 'landed at another station.' "Not long ago I converted one of my friends to Postum and he is now as loud in its praise as I am." Name furnished by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

CONSUMPTION PANAMA LEAVES COLOMBIA Rejection of Panama Canal Treaty Caused the Revolution. COLOMBIAN TROOPS APPROVE. Panama, Columbia, Nov. 5. — The independence of the isthmus is proclaimed. A large and enthusiastic crowd of all political parties assembled and marched to the hea quarters of the government troops where General Tovar and Amaya were imprisoned in the name of the Republic of Panama. The enthusiasm was intense and at least 3,000 of the men in the gathering were armed. Washington. — Sensational advisers were received from the isthmus of Panama to the effect that a revolution was in progress and had been acclaimed. President Roos velt sent for Secretary Hay, Acting Secretary Darling, Assistant Secretary of State Loomis and Admiral Taylor to come to the White House, where, after a conference lasting nearly two hours, orders were dispatched to the Dixie and the Atlanta, on the Atlantic side, and the Boston, on the Pacific coast, to proceed with all possible speed to the isthmian waters to aid the Nashville in protecting American interests and maintaining a free transit across the isthmian in connection with the treaty of 1894. Orders were also sent to Amiral Glass, commanding the Pacific squadron, consisting of the Concord, Marblehead and Wyoming, at Acapulco, to coal immediately and hold its crew ready to proceed on a moment's notice. When the Baltimore reaches San Domingo orders will be cabled her to go to the isthmus if the situation demands her presence. The rejection of the Panama canal treaty is generally supposed to be the moving cause for the revolution, but no official information on the subject was obtainable. Panama.—The battalion of Columbian troops at Panama favors the movement, which is also thought to meet with the approval of at least two of the government transports now here. Must Use Prescribed Blanks. Topela, Nov. 5.—In making annual reports to the Kansas insurance department next year, insurance companies must use blanks furnished by the Kansas department. Fraternal beneficiary societies will have to give more information next year than they have been required to give in the past.

KEEP THE BOWELS REGULAR The cause of two-thirds of the serious ills of life and one-half of all who die prematurely can be traced to persistent constipation. The bowels are one of the great outlets of the body and should perform their functions with the utmost regularity—not by physic requiring, large and frequent doses to whip them into action and eventually depriving them of natural strength—but by made from the whole grain of the wheat, which, if eaten once a day, will keep the bowels regular.

Plangman (of Sherman, Tex.) says of Doan's Kidney Pills. He tells his experience in the following words: He says, "Sometimes in September I was taken with a dull aching pain across the small of my back, directly over the kidneys. I paid small attention to this at first, thinking it would pass off. But instead of getting better it became worse and in a short time the pain centered through my left hip and down my left leg as far as the knee." This is precisely what kidney trouble will do with the body. the back It does not always show itself at first, but appears just in this way, when some unusual movement or action brings sharp pains and exhaustive aches, telling of sick kidneys. So Mr. Plangman's experience bore this out. Continuing, he says: "I did not know the cause of the trouble, but I am led to believe now that it was first brought about by jumping in and out of the wagon and in some way I may have strained my back. "I was constantly growing worse," he continues, "and I became very much alarmed about my condition. I knew that something had to be done or serious results were sure to follow. I went to a specialist here in Sherman, and underwent a rigid examination." Then he relates how the doctor told him that it was a serious case, but that he could cure him for fifty dollars.

THANKSGIVING DAY PROCLAMATION dent Issues Annual : { President Issues Annual Edict WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—The presifidnt today issued his usual Shanksgiving proclamation, as follows: “By the president of the United Statee of America. A pro. clamation: | “The season is at hand when, according to the custom of our people it falls upon the people to appoint a day of praise and thanksgiving to God. During the last year the Lord has dealt bountifully with us, giving us peace at home and abroad, and the chance for our citizens to work for their . welfare unhindered by war, famine or plague. It behooves us not only to rejoice greatly because of what has been giv- en us, but to accept it with a solemn sense of responsibility, realizing that under heaven it rests with us ourselves to show that we are woruhy to use aright what has thus been entrusted to our care. inno other place andat n° other time has the experiment of government of the people, by the people and for the people, been tried on so vast a scale as here in our country in the opening years of the Tentieth century. Failure would not only be a dreadful thing for all - mankind, but it would mean a loss ‘of hope for all desires. Therefore, in thanking God for the mercies extended us in the past, we beseech Him that He may not withhold them in the future, and that our hearts may be aroused stead- _ fastly towards God. We pray for strength and light, so that in the coming years we may with cleanliness, fearless- ness and wisdom do our allotted work on earth in such man- _ ner as to show that we are notaltogether unworthy of the - blessing we have received. “Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roocevelt, president of | the United States, do hereby designate as a day of general _ thanksgiving Thursday, the 26th of the coming November and do recommend that throughout the land people cease from their wonted occupations and in their several homes and places of worship render thanks unto Almighty Ged for His mantfold mercies. “Tn witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Uninted States io be affixed. “Done in the city of Washington, this 31st day of Octo- ber, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and three, and of the independence of the United States, the one hundred and twenty-eighth.

FE One reason why so many of our would-be professional men fail is because they start way above the people from whom they expect their support. They start up in the cloud, but not havitg wings of an eagle, they cannot fly to earth at pleasure, like that noble bird, get something to eat and fiy back into the heavens. So in the attempt they fall—and great is the fall! They get up, half starved and crippled, and say, ‘‘ The Negro never will be nothin’.”” Then he’s judging the race by himself. The public man who expects to be supperted by the qeople must get down with the people. Another weak point that could be made stronger is this: There isa large number of educated— or so-called educated—young men and women doing absolutely nothing for themselves or any- body else. They think they know too much to do manual labor or menial work, and they Gate know enovgh or haven’t go t push about them to do anything else; so they just hang aroud, a waps going to do something next year—building air castles, and every little wind that comes along blows them down-failure, failure!

"To Live and Let Live." is OUR Motto. NO NEGRO THERE. Out of the thousands of national guardsmen at the recent Ft. Riley maneuvers there was not one solitary Negro National guardsman—say nothing o f a company of Negro guardsmen. We have oftimes wondered why it was that there are no Negro National guards or State Militia. It has been said that in Kansas a precedent has grown up to not authorize them. We would like to see a well equipped company of Negro National guardsmen in Kansas. Certain it is, if the Negro can and does make good regular soldiers he could make equall as good Militia men. There are ample good men among us who are capable of giving a Negro Militia company good and wholesome training. The race needs such an organization. Let some one start it. LET HIM GO We have often been asked why we do not publis more about that blatherskite, Ben Tillman, we are of the opinion that Tillman is a man without a conscience and we believe that the the Negro press has given entirely too much space to his falseh ereys. The Negro press has done much to make this blackguard populao and today he is receiving big money from all over the country to spit out his poison against the Negro race, and much of this has been made possible by the publicity which the Negro press has given his vile utterance. As long as we thought hem sincere we gave replies to his venom, but when he began to "spit it out" for money we lost all regard for his parsonious darts and we think it wise that the whole Negro press do the same. He "jumps into print" at every chanee and he does so for the amount of advertisement he gets. He gets paid and we get nothing. We believe the thing to do is to "Let him go." Did you ask the merchant with whom you trade, who her he "ads" in our paper? If not, why not? Insist upon it that he "ads" with us.

THE DAIRY Glasgow to Sell Milk. Writing in the Glasgow Evening Times, Councillor Joseph Burgess refers to the probability of a municipal depot being opened for the supply of milk for the infants of Glasgow. He says: "I believe we are on the eve of another new departure in municipalization in Glasgow. I hope it is one that will commend itself to the good sense and hearty support of the citizens. The deaths of infants under one year of age in Glasgow during 1901 was 2,002, which represents a deathrate per 1,000 born of 149. In 1899 the rate was 152, and in 1900 it was 153. The general improvement in the health of the community is not traceable in the bills of infant mortality. Taking averages of five years, the rate for 1886-1890 equalled 143 per 1,000 births; for the five years, 1891-1896, it was 146 per 1,000 births; for the five years, 1895-1900, it was 151 per 1,000 births. The general deathrate of the city, averaging the 10 years from 1881 to 1890, was 24.2 per 1,000. From 1891 to 1900 it was 21.5. Most of this decrease is due to the addition of the suburban districts, but that factor has not affected the infantile mortality favorably. It is higher than it was fifteen years ago. Density of population in the districts and density per room undoubtedly are factors in producing these differences in diarrhoeal death-rates. But an important contributory factory is the ignorance of the mothers. Infantile deaths from food diseases are multiplied by the necessity which compels many mothers to leave their children to go to work in factories. This is the cause of the high death-rate in Lancashire." Referring to Dr. Lister's statistics as to infantile mortality, the writer says: "About three-fourths of these deaths occur in infants artificially fed, and the disease is set up by contamination in the milk supply. This contamination is present not only in cow's milk, but in condensed milk. It is just as easy to contaminate condensed milk after the tins are opened as to contaminate cow's milk. To save infant life, therefore, a perfectly pure and uncontaminated milk supply must be provided. Hence the necessity for a municipal milk depot for the feeding of infants. I submit that there is sufficient evidence in the foregoing figures to justify an experiment being made in Glasgow. It is not intended to interfere with the ordinary milk dealers. In fact, it may be possible to make them, or some of them, the agents of the corporation. The system is to supply milk, sterilized, and mixed with water in the proper proportions for children of varying ages, in hermetically-sealed bottles. Empty bottles are exchanged for full ones. The staff at the depot does all the bottle-washing and milk-mixing. All the nurse has to do is to warm the milk by immersing the bottle in hot water. In this way there is no possibility of contamination, and the infants obtain food suited to their delicate digestive powers.—The Dairy (England). Danish Butter Not All Danish. It is quite evident that the reputation made by Danish butter is being traded upon by the other continental nations. Some letters have recently appeared in a daily paper of London to the effect that several European nations are shipping butter to Denmark for the sake of having it shipped out again under the name of Danish. Russia and Sweden in particular are given to this practice. One of the letter writers declares that he watched a Swedish steamer unloading in Copenhagen and among the casks landed were several branded "Danish Butter." The brand was in English. These casks were consigned to a large exporting firm. The inevitable conclusion was that the butter was intended to be consumed in England as Danish butter. The same man saw large constructions of Russian butter being landed at the same time. The British consul general in Poland has been investigating the matter and finds that much Polish and Lithuanian butter is shipped to Denmark, from which country it is sent to England under brands unknown to it in the country of its origin. The English writers declare that the nearly 90,000 tons of so-called Danish butter shipped into England last year could not all have been produced in Denmark. Dairy Animals in the United States. We have no reliable statistics on the numbers of the breeds of dairy cattle, but estimates have been made by students of dairying. The numbers registered can be taken as no criterion of the numbers now alive. This following is, however, approximately correct, both sexes being counted. Jersey, 90,000; Holstein, 60,000; Guernsey, 11,000; Devons, 10,000; Ayrshire, 6,000; Brown Swiss, 1,200; Polled Durhams, 1,200; Dutch Belted, 500; Red Polled, 5,000. There are about 140,000 pure-bred Shorthorns in the country, many of which are good dairy animals. Indiana Dairy Convention. The fourteenth annual convention of the Indiana Dairymen's Association will be held at Plymouth, December 10-12, 1903. A good program is being prepared and includes prominent speakers from Indiana and other states. For further information address H. E. VanNorman, secretary, Lafayette, Ind. LIVE STOCK Stephen W. Benson says: Horses are very much like men; give them useful employment the year round and they are all the better for it. I find on close observation that the horses we work through the winter are the horses that can stand the rough usage of summer the best. Hence, we give our horses all the employment we can, taking care not to lower their condition in flesh, but rather to increase their flesh ready for the summer's work. This leaves their muscles, shoulders and constitution generally in much better state than if they were idle. Naturally they are looked after better as they are under the eye of the man more and much less liable to accidents than horses running idle. Employment we find for them in different ways, such as drawing wood, taking manure to the field, moving feed stuff or anything that we can find to do that will give us profit enough for a man's wages and board, and as for the little extra feed they take I feel satisfied we can charge that to profit in the extra work they can do through the summer. The principal feed we use for our work horses is timothy hay, oat sheaves and oat straw. In the morning we generally give them a good forkful of oat straw with a little hay on top, by way of a relish. At noon we give a feed of hay and in the evening another forkful of straw with a little hay, and at their last feed for the night we clean out of their mangers any refuse straw which goes for bedding, and give them an oat sheaf. As for the wild hay I do not like it, and I would rather trust to the oat straw for the wintering of horses. I think there is more strength in the wild hay, and the horses will stand more work on it, but I don't think it is as healthy as the oat straw. Our grain feed consists principally of crushed oats and bran. I am a firm believer in variety of feed, especially for a horse not working hard, as one food helps to digest the other. At night about four times a week we give them a feed of boiled barley. Scalded chop I think quite as good, but we generally boil it. We give very much the same feed to the horses we cannot work as to those we do, with the exception that at noon they do not get hay and oats. We have a big stck of wheat straw in the yard and turn them out about ten o'clock, letting them feed at it until evening. We always keep a trough in the yard with salt in it, so that they can have lots of it. We find it a good thing. I think many horses go wrong when fed straw for lack of salt. Some object to horses running out loose when there are a number of them together, for fear of them getting kicked, but I prefer running chances of their getting a stray kick rather than to allow them to stand in the stable breeding trouble in the shape of indigestion, bad blood, distemper and swelled legs. Horse Speed and Mechanics Horse Speed and Mechanics. In a long and interesting effort to produce the very best trotters Americans have become the most skillful developers of the speed of harness horses the world has known, and as drivers they are unequaled, says John G. Speed in the Century. This skill has been assisted by the ingenious inventors who have contrived wagons so light and frictionless that the weight a trotter now carries is not more than sufficient to keep him steady, and is virtually no handicap at all. Take two horses of equal speed and harness, and shoe and harness one as the horses of 1850 were harnessed and shod and the other as those of this year are turned out, and the horse in the older rigging would be distanced, while the winner would scarcely have to extend himself. The fast time in the present records owes much to mechanical improvements, and much more to more skillful development and driving than to better breeding, though I do not pretend to deny that certain individual horses have recently gone faster than any of the old-timers would have gone, let the conditions have been what they might. But the Morgans, the Clays and the Goldstubs were reproducing types, which the standard-bred trotters are not. That they were types was because they were rich in that primitive eastern blood without which no great type has ever been created or maintained. Soiling and Grazing. Dr. Jordan in his work, "The Feeding of Animals," says: It is no longer a debatable question whether or not soiling is profitable under most conditions. Unlimited testimony can be furnished showing great gain from every point of view of even partial soiling as an amendment to the pasture. Whether soiling should be substituted entirely for grazing is a business matter which should be decided according to the conditions involved. In the first place much more food is produced per unit of area by soiling than by pasturage. Armsby found that two soiling crops in one season, for instance rye followed by corn, yielded five times as much digestible organic matter as pasture sod when the whole growth on the latter was plucked without waste, the quantities being respectively 5,845 pounds and 1,125 pounds. It is variously estimated from observation and practice that three to five times as many animals can be supported on a given area by soiling as by grazing. PUEBLO, COLO.

The Antique and Comical Social given by Club "G" at the 2nd Baptist Church Tuesday night was all that the name would imply. Mrs. S. E. Patton is president of the club, which is an auxiliary to the church. There were two features of the social, viz: antique and comic. Both were well represented. The main interest was in the contests. There were fourteen contestants, each of whom carried a prizename. Space will not permit us to give a description of each costume. The jtdges to decide upon who were the most comical and antique, were: Mrs. Geo. W. White, Mrs. Lucy Anderson and W. N. Miller The contestants came forward and the judges viewed them, retired and came to the following decision: Glauberg, the popular priced milliner, 407 East Douglas, does both wholesale and retail. He has one of the largest and most complete stock of millinery goods, at lowest prices. The colored population of Wichita has only two representatives who are employed in any capacity in the public schools of this city. They are Mr. Wm E. Whitd, custodian of the Emerson School, cor. Waer and Central; and Mr. Jeff S. Fauver, 16th and Lawrence. Both are most admirable and competent gentlemen and so conduct themselves that it reflects much credit on the race of which they are proud members. There is not, however, a colored teacher in the whole of Sedgwick county, say nothing of Wichita. Why? This is not b cause we have no colored children attending the public schools; we have plenty of them. Cow Peas and Velvet Beans. Cow Peas and Velvet Beans. On light soils especially cow peas and velvet beans prove valuable as fertilizers. They have been experimented with long enough orr people to be certain that their use as green manure is fully justified. Even where crops of beans and peas are taken off and the rest of the plants turned under, the supply of nitrogen added to the land has proven of immense advantage to the succeeding crop. It is freely stated by experimenters that any kind of cow pea will furnish enough nitrogen to the soil to fully meet the demands of any following crop, that is, of the next year. In some tests recently conducted, we notice that the increased yield of the corn crop following the plowing under of cow peas and velvet beans was over 80 per cent. When crops of velvet beans and cow peas were gathered and the hay was stored, the remainder of the plant being plowed under, the increase of corn was over 30 per cent, of oats over 300 per cent, of wheat over 200 per cent, and of sorghum hay over 50 per cent. The plants that seem to utilize most the fertility from these legumes, especially on light land, are oats and wheat, probably for the reason that these two plants begin to cover the ground at once and to send down rootlets that catch the nitrogen that may be leaching out of the soil. The plants that leave, the land unoccupied for the longest time are the ones that profit least from the plowing under of the previous legume crop. Thrashing Broom Corn. Thrashing Broom Corn. The removing of the seeds from the brush is variously termed seeding, scraping, or thrashing. This is accomplished by bringing the heads in contact with a rapidly revolving cylinder the surface of which is set with teeth or spikes. A thrasher of the kind now in general use in sections growing much broom corn costs from $150 to $200. Such a machine with eighteen to twenty men to keep it running steadily, can clean the brush from 30 to 40 acres in a day. The seed heads are not drawn entirely through the cylinders as in thrashing grain, but are held firmly and evenly by means of a toothed belt which carries an even stream of brush in front of it and at an angle with the cylinders, so that, beginning at the top portion, the seed is removed as the heads are carried farther and farther between the cylinders. With all the seed removed the belt deposits the brush on a table at the other end of the cylinders. The feeding of the seed heads to the thrasher and the removal of the cleaned brush and storing it in the drying sheds requires a force of twelve to fifteen men (fig. 5).—Bulletin 174, Department of Agriculture. In-Breeding of Poultry. In time our experiment stations will doubtless take up the question of inbreeding and conduct series of experiments to determine just what its effects are on birds. It is not necessarily a fact that what is true of one kind of animal life is true of every other kind, though it may be so. It is probably safest not to do much inbreeding. But on the other hand, there are large breeders that claim that inbreeding does not result in the deterioration of the flock, if care is taken in selecting the most vigorous breeders. One man claims that he actually in-bred for vigor and increased the vigor of his flock in that way. Inbreeding is generally reputed to affect the vigor of a flock first of all. If any of our readers have tried experiments along this line we would like to hear from them.
