1t is officially announced by the
Centennial Bureau Of Agriculture
that the live stock display will be
held in the months Of September,
October and November, and that
the periods devoted to each group
would be as follows: Group 20,
horses, mules and asses, from Sep
TENDER to II; group 30, horned
cattle, September Il to October 4;
groups 81 and 81, sheep, goats and
swine, from October 10 to Is; group
BIB, dogs, from September A to 8;
group 81, poultry, from October q
to November 6. Entries will close
August 10, and the system ofawards
for live stock will be the same as
that adopted for the other depart
ments of the Exhibition. Burnct
Landreth, Esq, Chief of Bureau of
Agriculture, states that animals
possessing points of excellence will
be reported upon according to their
inherent and comparative merits,
and that exhibitors whose stock is
recommended by the judges for an
award will receive special report
and the diploma and bronze medal
of the United States Centennial
Commission. The judges in each
group will also make n general re-
port upon the development and
present characteristics of each
breed, especial reference being made
to animals of a superior merit. The
testing of agricultural implements
at Schcnck's Station, which is now
in progress, includes twelve thresh-
ers and ten agricultural engines,
two English traction engines, and a
number of fans aad food-cutters.
In the contest between the thrcsh-
crs the principal object is to show
the length of time occupied in
threshing certain amount of grain
and the thoroughness of the work.
The power required to do the work
is demonstrated by dynamometcr
test. In the case of the. engines
the amount of fuel and wood used,
actual power developed, efficiency
of work, etc., are also being cXcm-
plificd.
And the weather still continues
melting. Everybody and every
thing succumbs to it. The effect
has been to considerably diminish
the attendance for the week just
closed, there being during that per-
iod an average of only about p ,0OC
daily visitors. The totals number
of admissions to Wednesday even.
ing was 2,309,7G7, and the total
cash receipts $762,55G.

SOng Of Beauty.

The following was read before the
Literary Circle OF Walnut Creek, Kan
sas, by the Editrcss, Miss Etlic Trevett;
the same being composed and contrib
utcd to her paper, by S. w. Norton:
l sing the song of beauty.
OF lOvclinc>s and JOY:
The golden grains tnat sparkle out
Amongst our base alloy.
For the world is full of beauty,
Ii speaks of God above;
And all its voices loud pgoclaims
Beneficencc and love.
There is beauty IN The valley,
And beauty In the hill;
And beauty in The gushing spring,
Whence flows the sparkling ri!l.
There is beauty in Nevada heights,
Capped with eternal SHOWS;
And beauty In the hOWory plains, Z
Where the Mississippi flows.
There is beauty i'm the forest,
Where the light winged Ministries sing;
And in the tlclds where autumn wealth,
Rcpays the toll of spring.
There is beauty in the sunshine,
And beauty in the rain;
Twin angels sent iroii heaven to bless
The fields OF growing grain.
The g is beauty where lhe round moon pours
Her flood of silver light;
And where the starry gems bcdcck
The sable face of night.
There Is beatty in the manly form,
The brow scrcncly bold;
TIE honest count Cnancc, that speaks
"A soul outwciglilnS gold.
There Is beauty in the blushing check,
CnstainCd by art or sin;
The eye that iruthiully recalls
The pure warm heart within.

IT seems to us as il the iimc had
come when somc steps should be
aiken towards the issuing Of II call
for the State Representative Con-
vention, for The District composed
of Lale and Mason counties. In
the absence of II regularly appoint
ell committee, we would suggest a
joint call by the Republican Coun-
ty Central Committees of the two
counties. This District was created
at the last session of the Leg;sla-
turc, and no conventions have since
been held, which accounts for the
lack of a regular committee.
p. s. Since the above was in
type we learn from IL. III. McCOl-
Tough, member of the Central
Committee for this county, that VIC
have been forcstallcd in our idea,
and that the joint committee has
agreed upon issuing call for a
convention to be held mt some datc
during the latter par of. August;
the basis of rep cscntation to be
placed upon population; one dele
gate to every four hundred inhab-
it.,nts, Or mOioty. This would give
five delegates to Lake county and
thirteen to Mason.

We give elsewhere more full
report of the proceedings of the re-
cent Republican Caucus in this
township, than We usually do of such
meetings, in order that our readers
may know the whole transaction,
ai.d be prepared to judge fthc va
rious stories that will be likely to
float about concerning it.
The people of Lake county must
not get the idea that the Rcpubii-
cans of this township are divided,
for such is not the case. In years
past it was common thing to have
so-called Republican caucuscs run
by Democrats (opcn and avowed
Democrats) assisting minority
who styled themselves Republicans.
There were no party lines drawn,
and those composing the minority
in the Republican ranks, were well
known as those who usually favored
peoples" caucuscs rather than
straight Republican. There is one
notorious instance fresh in our mem
Dry, of the Spring of 1874, after Il
peoples" caucus had been held
and nominations made, that a Re-
publican caucus was packed by the
leaders in the first caucus and con-
trollcd, utterly preventing those
who called the second caucus from
effecting the nominations they de-
sired.
Another instance of outrage up
on the Republicans of this town
ship was that at the caucus held in
1874 for the purpose of choosing
delegates to attend the County
Nominating Convention. At that
caucus were Democrats, taking ac-
tive part, and preventing the ma
jority of Republicans present from
selecting the delegates they wanted
In the Spring of 1875 the pack
ing process was not tried, but the
leaders of the minority organized
peoples" caucus, and did not at
tend the union caucus, called by
the joint committees Of the Rcpub.
leans and Democrats.
Last Spring the two main leaders
of the minority came out and showed
their true colors (Democratic)
Others remained, claiming the name
of Republican, but constantly in
intimate relations with the two who
had come out under the Democrat.
ic banner. And there the matter
stands to-day. We have men in
the party ranks, who, while loudly
protesting staunch Rcpublicanism
are in constant daily consultation
with leading Democrats. How much
truth there is in their professions
ofRcpublicanism, we leave our read.

The Woman That Welded Lamarfine.

The story of the marriage of Lamar
tine, the great French poet and states
man, is one of romantic interest. The
lady was of an English family named
Birch, and very wealthy. She first
fell in love with the poet from reading
his ''Meditations Poetiques." She was
slightly past the bloom of youth, but
still young and fair. She read and re-
read the "Meditations, and nursed the
tender sentiment in secret. At length
she saw Lamartine in Genoa, and her
love became a part of her very life.
Not long after this she was made ac-
quainted with the fact that the poet
was suffering even TO unhappiness from
the embarrassed state of his pecuniary
affairs. Miss Birch was not long in de-
Gliding upon her course. She would
not allow the happiness of lifetime to
slip from her if she could prevent it.
She wrote to the poet frank and wO-
manly letter, acknowledging her deep
interest and profound respect, and Of
fering him the bulk of her fortune, if
he were willing to accept it. OF course
Lamartine could not but suspect the
truth. Deeply touched by her gener-
osity, he called upon her, and found
her to be not only fair TO look upon,
but woman of a brilliant literary and
artistic education. He made an offer of
his hand and heart, and was promptly
and gladly accepted, and in after years
Alfonso de Lamartine owed not more to
his wife's wealth than to her sustain
ing love and inspiring enthusiasm.

The InreentOr of Gas Lights.-The
inventor of gas lights is said to have
been Frenchman, Philippe lie Bon,
an engineer of roads and bridges, who
in 17S2 adopted the idea of using. for
the purpose of illumination, the gases
distilled during the combustion of
wood. He labored for long time in
the attempt to perfect his crude inven-
ton, and 1t was not until 1893 that he
confided his discovery to the Institute.
In September, 1900, he took out pa
tent, and in 1901 he published a me-
mOlr containing the result of his re-
searches. lie Bon commenced by dis
tilling wood, in order to obtain from il
gas, oil, pitch, and pyroligneous acid [;
but his work indicated the possibility
of obtaining gas by distillation from
fatty or oily substances. From 1879 to
1902 lie Bon made numerous expert
ments. He established at Havre his
first thermO-lamps; but the gas which
he obtained, being a mixture of carbu-
retted hydrogen and oxide of carbon,
and but imperfectly freed from its i'm
purities, gave only feeble light and
involved an insupp0rtable OdOr, and
the result was that but little favor was
shown to the new discovery: q: the in
ventor eventually died, ruined by his
experiments. The English soon put in
practice the crude ideas of LIE Bon. In
1904, one WinsOr patented and claimed
the credit of inventing the process OF
lighting by gas in 1905 several shops
in Birmingham were illuminated by
gas manufactured by the process of
WinsOr and MurdOck among those
who used this new light was Watt, the
inventor of the steam engine. In 1916
first use was made of gas in London,
and is was not until 1918 that this in
vention, really of French origin, was
applied in France.
