CARNIVAL WIT AT NEW ORLEANS
The festive citizens OF New Orleans
where that very melancholy and witless
piece of foolery, called the carnival, was
performed again this year, exhibited
their taste and the nature of their festive
feelings by hideous figures in the pro.
cession, which by dint of descriptive in
formation were to be understood as rep
resenting Satan and his court, and by
means Of due placards were to be taken
as Licensees Of President Grant, Lewis
Dent, A. r. Shepherd, Hamilton Fish,
Boutwell,, Cameron, Robson, Gen. Sher-
man, Fred Grant, Williams. Babcock,
Belknap, Whitley, Luckey. Gen. Sheri-
dan, Holt, Morton, Logan, Chandler,
Schenck, Sickles, Steinberger, and a
number of local Republicans. This
gives an idea of the New Orleans notion
of fun on an occasion of general festivity
and supposed relaxation. By it they
show that there is no relaxation of New
Orleans hate, and that their party ma
Lightly overcomes all sense of public
decency.

The CHECK STAMP.-One of the most
annoying and vexatious taxee imposed
by the Government is the two cent stamp
which must be placed on every hank
check. Not once in q dozen times will
the business man have . stamp, and If
the check is paid out without being
stamped, he is liable to heavy fine and
Observation-Disclosures checks
pass frequently until brought to bank
where they are stamped. Considering
the annoyance, and the small revenue
gained, We hope Congress will repeal the
law. We believe every depositor in the
Nation would welcome the change.-Ex.

We have received a copy of the an
nual report of the regents and faculty of
the State Agricultural College, and from
it. CLEAN y few facts that may interes: our
readers: The total number Of students
last year was SO3, representing So coun-
ties in Kansas, and eight States. The
number of acres of land donated to the
College by Congress is sl,601, of which
81. 461 acres remain unsold. Amount of
land sold last year, 1904 acres, at an
average price of 1888 per acre. Value
of securitiss. now in the hands of the
Treasurer and Land Agent, amounts to
SOS, 101. 90. from which Interest to the
amount of S20, 1906 was received last
year. By the act of Congress donating
the lands, no portion of the proceeds Of
the sales of lands can be applied to the
erection of buildings. The money must
be invested as an endowment fund. the
ineome from which can only be used to
defray current expenses. As soon - the
necessary buildings are completed, the
College ought 70 be entirely self:sustain-
ing.

The WESTERN RURAL.-With the
new management of The Western Rural
comes marked improvements in that ster-
ling farm and family weekly. It has
added crop and weather bureau 80 sys-
tsmatic as to include every important
county in the Northwest, from Ohio to
the Rocky Mountains, and surpasses the
reports made by the Agricultural De-
pertinent at Washington, inssmuch rs
they are presented fresh to the farmers
in . condensed form each waek. The
Western Rural also has commercial and
market reports, unsurpassed by any pa
per in the country, and is the champion
of cheap transportation and equal justice
to all clxsses. Combining its practical
information on rural affairs with its en-
pertaining and instructive literary de-
partments, make it the most complete
farm and family newspaper extant The

AN experiment in growing corn was
made at the State Agricultural College
last year. Four narrow plsts of land of
equal size were laid off side by side. In
the first and third plats, corn was planted
in drills and thinned out until the stalks
were about ten inches apart, while in the
second and fourth plats the seed was
planted in hills. The result was yield
of seventy one bushels per acre in the
drilled patches, and sixty-two and one
half in those planted in hills-a gain of
eight and one-half bushels per acre, by
drilling in. The same sitter treatment
was given to all, and ~ pounds of ears
counted to the bushel.

One Of the very best papers in Kansas
is the Atchison Champion. Its weekly
edition is a continuation of the old
Squatter Sovereign, established in 1855,

year, and is the only newspaper in the
northern part of the State that gives
the associated press dispatches. If any
of our readers desire to take paper from
Northern Kansas, we advise them to
subscribe for the Champion. Price Of the
weekly, $500 per year, or ten copies for

The Electoral Commission is now
striving with the Oregon problem, and
the Democrats claim that they are going
to make q strong fight over the case, but
judging from the recent decision in the
Louisiana case, we have little fears as to
the result. After the Oregon question
is determined, we think the business OF
the Commission can be despatched with
great facility, and in next weeks paper,
we expect to be able to announce the

BUILDING, FENCING
AND FUEL.

One of the special advantages which
this county Possesses over the treeless
plains of Western Kansas is found in
its timber, coal and stone. The average
width of timber belts is half mile or
more, and the quality is excellent, fur.
nishing reasonable supply for all prac-
tical purposes, as is shown by the fact
that the price of good hard wood in the
towns seldom exceeds $3.50 per cord. In
the eastern and less timbered portion OF
the county coal Of fair quality is mined
in quantities sufficient for domestic
purposes, and will no doubt be deyel-
oped as the wants of the county require.
For building and fencing stone Of an
excellent quality abounds in many local
tiles, yet 10 disposed As to interfere but
little with the cultivation of the soil.
