THE NTTRIIITE VAL JE'
OFCORN

The prejudice existing against
the use OF maize as an article Of hu-
man food among certain classes OF
people is surprising, and this prediu-
dice is based on ignorance.
Indian corn is ore of the most I'M
portant and healthful articles of hu
man food that beneicent Providence
has bestowed upon man; and to its
high nutritive value is due in a large
degree the strength and vigor Of the
race Of men who laid the foundations
of this great republic. 1t vas much
more largely fifty or one hundred
years ago than now, as fine wheat
-four, for some not well founded has
Nsurped its place IN bread making.
In the several forms, however, Of
hnlled corn, hominy, samp, corn
starch, maizena,, etc, vast quantities
are consumed by all classes Of people,
Meal from Indian corn contains
more than four times asmuch oleagin
Gus matter as wheat flour, more starch,
and nearly as much heterogeneous ma
terial consequently in all cold eli
mates it is admiralty adapted to sus-
.an the system by furnishing heat
forming compounds The oil gives
warmth, the ntrigenoous principle
gives strength. The combination Of
alimcntary compounds in Indian corn
renders it alone the mixed diet capa-
bic Of sustaining man under the most
extraordinary circumstances. 1t holds
the elementary principles which con-
stitutes the basis of organic life In
this particular it is more remarkable.
than any other vegetable production
known to man. There is a large num-
Der of dishes of which cornmeal forms
the basis which are exceedingly pala,
table.
In trials at the farm to test the
comparative value Of meal from COM
morcial sources, when fed to cows and
other animals, we have learned that
the nutritive value Of the former is.
double that Of the latter, and this
practical result confirms analytical re-
suits. The difference between the
specimens from the two sources isl
most surprising. Farmers who are so
foolish as to 90 into the market to pur
chase corn and meal for their animals |
should understand the great differ
ence in nutritiye value between what
they can raise and what they can pur-
chase.

A California newspaper says that
explosions of threshingmachine boil
ers have been more frequent this year
than ever before, and have been the
cause Of many deaths and vast loss
to property. The boiler makers have
entered into such ruinous competition
that poorer quality Of iron must be
used in order to leave any margin for
profit.

81 Wing Sled CORN
Journal Of Chemistry

The failure of seed corn to germin.
ate, last spring, was so general that
it is evident that the cause is not gen
orally known, or, if otherwise, pre-
cautlonary measures We're not OBJ
served. Every farmer who had a
failure in this respect last sping,
should understand the cause oft, and
SO apply the remedy in the future.
Last fall was wet, cold and frosty,
while seed corn was being saved,
These facts would suggest that corn
will fail to grow if dried. A fact
has just come to my knowledge that
substantiates this conclusion.
A friend, an intelligent, Observing
and practical farmer, told me this
circumstance: he usually traces up
lis seed corn and hangs it in his gar
ret--a warm and dry place. He did
50 last fall with all but one trace, a
very nice one. Being in a hurry, he
hung it up in the corn house, and
there it remained till it was wanted
for planting. lie said that it was
not exposed to sweat or steam from
other grain. In the spring, while
planting that from the garrett,
he came to a choice part Of the field,
and the thought struck him that he
would plant that best trace. He did
SO, and the result was that, while the
garnet corn came up well, of the trace
from the corn house, to use his own
words, "not one kernel in ten came
up,
This would indicate that seed corn
should be hung in aOarm and dry
place until dry, to say the least Per-
haps it would be well for farmers to
observe this precaution in saving seed
hereafter.

At All Hazards.

"Carry every Southern State at all
hazards" is the language of a private
Democratic circular now being secret
ly distributed through the South. The
document is headed private, and names
the States that must be carried to give
Tilden the necessary votes. That at
all hazards they propose to do it, there
is not the least doubt. One armed
Butler, brother to the leader of the
Hamburg massacre, was at the head of
band last week in South Carolina,
patroIling the country and killing
negroes wherever found. Within a few
days according to reports received at
Washington, his band has stopped a
train and taken collored members of
the Legislature from it and shot them.
NJ. W. Garry, a prominent lawyer OF
South Carolina, said the other day at
Aiken in a speech:
'.And now let me tell you what to
do election day. Go in masses, armed

them down and cut off their ears, and

and if not allowed to take our seats,

House and tear il down, and show

All a Humbug.

Ii is tavorte boast of the Demo.
crUcy here in Wichita that John Mar
tin will run ahead of his ticket,
and that he will carry Shawnee county
The cue is taken from the opposi.
ton papers, which go SO far as 10 as
sert that Martin was never beaten for
an Office in Shawnee county. These
are the purest gas. As a Democratic
candidate he never was elected to any
office in Shawnee county, but was
beaten every time. Asa peoples can
didate with no Republican candidate
against him, he was elected twice 10
the Legislature. AS to his immense
popularity in Shawnee county, many
leading men of Topeka give it as their
opinion that he will be beaten by 800.
Upon that subject the Commonwealth
says:
'Now we say to our friends through
out the State, and we know what we
are talking about, John Martin will
not run to exceed 100 beyond his tick
ct in Shawnee county, and we don't
believe he will run fifty ahead. Shaw
nee county will give solid Republi-
can majority for the whole ticket, G..
L. Anthony included, of from 700 to
1000 majority"

The Dog Law.

For the purpose of injuring Hon.
John Kelley before the people of this
district, it is being asserted by the
Democrats that he is the author of the
dog law passed by the last Legisla-
ture. The bill was drawn up and in
PRODUCED by Holowell, of Cherokee, if
we remember rightly, who is alawyer.
We don't know whether Mr.. Kelley
voted for it or not, but we do know
that if the bill had been properly
drawn 1t would have been worth hun
dreds of dollars to the city schools of
Wichita alone. 1t is that class of men
who own more dogs than sheep,
horses, or cows, who vote for Usufruct
Tilden.

At Home.

Some people pretend to think, and
others no doubt do think, that Geo. L.
An hony is not popular at home. Our
own opinion is that he will poll consid-
erably more than his party vote right
among his neighbors. The Leaven-
worth correspondent of the Topeka
Commonwealth has this 10 say on that
point:
Least the Republicans of Kansas
should miiapprehend the true feeling
of the voters of Leavenworth county.
it is well that they should know the
truth. Geo. L. Anthony is very popu-
lar in the city and county of Leaven
worth, with the thinking, working,
upright and respectable people of all
politics. He will, in November, run
tar head of his ticket. for his old
friends and nelghbors will give him a
firsi-class send off. and show the esti-
nation with which he is held at home.
Mark that.

Not only Ridiculous, but Impudent.

Our Democratic friends In Wichita
are openly Boosting that they have the
wires all set for a Democratic majority
in Wichita and Sedgwick county.
Think of that. By split tickets, trades
aud fine lodges on election day they
propose to hoodwink the Republicans
ofthis county. Mark them when they
talk. They do not claim nor expect
the county to 60 for Tilden, they have
too much sense for that, but they pro-
pose by having this one resign and that
one To trade upon to carry three or four
of the whole ticket and then claim a
Democratic victory over the Republic
can party and throw the political COM
pleXion of the county and city into I'M.
certainty. There is but one way to de-
feat this plan of the enemy. Let every
Republican in the county, let every
man who believes in the principles Of
the party that saved our country in
the past, and protectes it from the de-
signs of its enemies in the present, see
that his ticket is straight from top to
bottom. Don't be mislead by tickets
headed ''Republican" or by Hayes and
Wheeler, as such cickets will be print
ed by the thousands bearing the name
of Democrats and boilers.
Sedgwick county ought to give the
entire Republican ticket eight hun
dred majority and she will if we are
not sold and traded out per the Demo-
cratic prOUramme

Atcnison County Republican Convention.

The Atchison County Republican
Convention, on the 2Sth, nominated
Judge A. ii. Horton aud Major G. A.
Woodwork for State Senators, and a
full county ticket. The convention
was the largest ever assembled in the
county, and the most harmonious, and
great enthusiasm prevailed. The fol-
lowing resolution was adopted by a
unanimous vote:
Reso1red, That the record of Hon.
John j. ingalls, in the Senate of the
United States is alike honorable to
him and to the State he so ably and
usetully represented; we are proud of
the fact that citizen of this county
has attained so eminent rank as to
command an influence III body en-
bracing so many men of distinguished
learning and craftsmanship. His earn
est devotion to, and his capable and
industrious advocacy of the interests
of Kansas, and his unflinching faith
fulness to every public trust, and his
steadfast fidelity TO Republican prin
ciples, command our fullest approba-
ton, and justly entitle him to the con-
fidence and support of the people of
the State.
l.. NJ. Briggs was nominated for
Representative in the sixth district.
and John King in the seventh.

The Sedgwick County Democratic Ticket.

The ticket nominated by the Democ-
racy of this county fell like wet
blanket upon the members Of that
party. We haven't even heard word
of praise for any nominee upon the
ticket save one. All the leaders here
in town can do is to denounce the Re-
publican nominees, hoping thus TO di-
vert attention from their own weak
ticket. If they are not careful the
members Of their own party will for
get who are the Democratic nominees.
They even expect this, as far as the
most of the ticket is concerned. They
have endorsed George Reeves for
Clerk of the District Court, and every
body in the county knows that George
Reeves is lifelong Republican who
will vote for HAYES and Wheeler, and
he is only supported by the wire pull
ing Democrats Of Wichita in hopes,
if elected, that they can brag of defeat
ing the Republican party.
This is no off year and the Democ-
racy Of Sedgwick county will learn
next November that in n Presidential
canvass which may involve the life of
the Nation itself that Republicans will
not be wheedled, coaxed or bullled in
to scratching tickets TO accommodate
Wichita Democrats.

Silenced.

Since the return of George L. An
thony to the State the little chorus of
howlers that followed the lead of the
Kansas City Times is suddenly hushed
aud the editor of the Leavenworth
Times has left the State not to return
before election, we should judge.
While Captain Anthony was busy
with heart and brain in Philadelphia
to render our Kansas the bright par
ticular star of the galaxy, while the
wonderful exhibition of orr resources
which he had spent nearly Two years
in preparing. was calling forth APP
plause and EXPLANATIONS OF wonder
from the people of every part of the
civilized world, we were treated 10
the disgraceful spectacle of an on
slanght upon his character that was
based entirely upon personal dislike
TO the humiliating ordeal of hearing u
man whose years of public service,per
formed before all the people, and
which had proved his greatest credit,
denounced as dishonest schemer and
a swindler.
But Anthony is at home and is now
travelling among the people defying his
traducers, and he will be elected by
fully 10000 majority.

The Civilized Indians Heard From.

The Cherokee rand other civilized
tribes of Indians, down in the Terri
tory, are greatly excited over the ac-
ton of the Government, proposing TO
remove the Sioux into their country.
They say that the Government is again
proposing to violate the treaty stipu-
lations by removing these Indians in
to their country without their consent.
They characterize the action of the
commission in agreeing to give the
Sioux home in the Territory, as being
similar to the one made by Satan on
the mountain eighteen hundred years
ago. There will be a united and sol
emn protest made by all people against
the consummation of this alleged out
rage against the rights Of the civilized
as well as the Sioux Indians.

Ohio and Indiana.

The State elections in Ohio in III
diana occur next Tuesday. The De-
mocracy claim the later by large ma
jority and hope 10 carry Ohio. Our
judgement is that if they carry Indiana
at all, it will be by the skin of their
teeth. There is no doubt that the
heretofore Democratic majority of that
State will be reduced TO a mere moth
ing. Ohio is the home of Hayes and
the Democratic papers of that State
are talking gloomily.
Colorado held her election yesterday
but we have not heard the result. At
their last election it was strongly
Democratic.

What the Democratic Cincinnati Enquirer Said.

The Courier-Journal says that ''the
Republicans started out by denounc-
ing Governor Tilden as thief, liar,
and perjurer, partner of Tweed, a
railroad wrecker, an assassin, MUIR
derer."
This is not true. Governor Tilden's
name was hardly attacked by single
Republican paper until it became ap-
parent that the shoulder hitters. depu-
ty sheriffs, and Tammany Hail loafers
were determined on his nomination,
and then the worst that any of them
did was to publish extracts from Dem
ocratic papers such as the following
from the Cincinnati Enquirer of June
third:
"Tilden's surroundings are bad. If
elected he would take TO the White
House the worst set of political job
bers and thieves ever seen in Washing
ton, and that is saying good deal"

January 81, 1885, In 1854 he moved
with his parents to farm near Jack
sonville, Illinois, and attended the
Illinois College at that place, gradual
ing in the class of 1857. He then read
law in the Office of Judge Cyrus Epler
and was admitted to practice in 1852
He practiced his profession in Green
field county, Ohio, where he remained
until the outbreak of the rebellion. In
August, 1861, he raised company and
was mustered into the United States
service at Camp Butler, Illinois, in
Thirty-seventh infantry regiment. He
served in the same regiment until
mustered out in November, 1865, fill
ing all the offices from Captain to
Colonel. His regiment was assigned
to the fourth division, seventeenth
army corps, and participated in all its
campaigns, marches and battles from
Shiloh until the close of the war. Col.
English was severely wounded at
Shiloh and at Hatchie. Removing 10
Kansas in January, 1866, he located at
Leavenworth from whence he removed
to Wichita in 1874 where he now re-
sides.
