is the head aud moving spirit. AS is
usual In such cases his projected Kan
saS. Nebraska and Dakota line was
pronounced by the knowing ones "an-
other paper road,'' which would never
be built. The Chicago Railway Re-
view, however, says that the Kansas,
Nebraska and Dakota Railroad, a. was
com pleted from Garnett, Kan, to Fort
Scott. distance. of fifty miles, Is all
that the workmanship of drst-class
road requires. The rails are good steel
resting on the best ties that can 20
found on any road in Kansas, the
company having used {, 800 ties to the
mile. The rolling stock that is in pro-
cess of manufacture is all drst-class.
The engines now on the road are OF
the latest pattern and all solidly built.
The cars are we'll constructed. Ine

and freight traffic but two weeks, ana
the business for four regular trains q
day is beyond the most sanguine ex"
pectations of the management. Trains

indications the Kansae, Nebraska and

What the Department of Agriculture Is.

Washington Correspondence Prairie Farmer.
There Is o good deal of misunderstanding as
to what the department is, and consequently
misdirected efforts regarding proposed changes.
This is a brief outline: The department con-
trolls forty acres in the city of Washington,
owned by the government; a leased farm of
about seven acres outside of the city, used for
experiments on cattle diseases; a plantation near
Charleston, S. c., devoted to tea culture, and
several quarantine stations in different parts of
the country. The grounds in Washington con-
tain the main buildings. greenhouses, propagat-
ing garden and an aboretum or park of about
twenty acres. About two hundred persons are
employed, chiefly in eleven divisions. Seeds.
garden and grounds. entomology Including a
silk seetion), statistics, chemistry, botany lin
Guiding a Theological %section), microscopy,
forestry, animal industry (called a bureau(,
the only thing yet done is the appointment of an
agent, who is collecting information in various
parts Of the country. The department has con-
siderable genealogical material, such as colored
plates and colored plaster casts of fruits, which
have been shown at various expositions. A place
Is needed whore this material can be brought to-
gether and arranged, and where information
may be collected, and frequent bulletins pre-
pared on the condition of the fruit crop. There
Is insufficient means as yet to do this. For the
last five years, probably one half of the CORE
spondence of the botanical division of the De-
partment of Agriculture has related to grasses
wanted in different parts of the country for cul-
~tivation. Numerous species have been de-.
scribed, and seeds of the more promising dis
tributed Several bulletins have been issued on
the subject, one Of which is used as q text book
in agricultural colleges.

fiment among the officials. Early in the pres.
emit month the president of the chamber received
q letter purportiug to have been written by
Cora e. Walker, of Cape Girardeau, Mo-, in
which she represented herself as but fourteen
years of age, her father dead, her mother an in
valid, and that she had three younger brothers.
She besought the Chamber Of Commerce to con-
tribute a few dollars to add to her savings to
purchase q sewing machine, to enable her to
support her family. She gave a reference to
Albert Willmont, requesting the remittance TO
be sent TO him. The story enlisted
TIE sympathy of the chamber. Will
mont was telegranhed to, and answered
that Cora vas truthful, Industrious, and tho
sole support of an invalid mother and three
younger children. The chamber generously con-
tributed more than double the amount asked,
and it was sent in a money order to Willmont's
care, but the secretary. in remitting, prudently
made inquiry of the postmaster at Cape
Girardeau, who replied that Cora was a myth
and Wlllmont a fraud, and that he had pre-
scented the order with Cora's name forged there
to. FOR which he had been placed under arrest.
He further stated that Willmont had sent the
same pathetic appeal to various boards of trades,
sewing machine companies, bible societies, ETC.,
but the Bostonians were the first 20 respond
with the cash. The Postmaster. general has for
hidden the payment of the order and directed
the return Of the money to the remitter.

NEW England FarMer.
Neither the horse, nor any other domestic ami
NAL, should ever be made afraid of man. The
horse or COW that is afraid of it's keeper will
never thrive as will the animal that has a trust
ing confidence In the hand that feeds and con-
trolls. In a well-trained animal good behavior
stand with her legs in the right as in the wrong
place when she is being MIXED, and it is not nec-
essary to continually pound her into submission.
1t is no hardship for a horse to pull a reasonable
load or trot at a re asonable gait, and there is no
necessity for exciting his fears in order to secure
the desired result. We like to see a horse when
loose in the pasture come at the call of his keep
er, and we like to see a herd of cattle gather con-
fidingly around their owner when he visits them
at pasture. Let young animals early learn that
man is their friend, and that they have nothing
to fear at his hands SO long as they are well-be-
haved animals.

PROHIBITION IN KANSAS.
Report of Acknowledgement Bradford-Tha
Saloon Almost q Thing of the Past

Report of Attorney General Bradford-Ths
Saloon Almost a Thing of the Past
Topeka Special to st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Attorney general Bradford, in his report ia
the Governor, recommends the following change
in the present law for enforcing the prohibition
amendment to the Constitution:
Probate judges should receive stated salaries
and the hve-cent fee, IL collected at all, turned
over to the county treasurer for the benefit OF
some fund to assist in making the law mores
%effectual. In addition to the affidavit now made
by the druggist, that the statements filed by him
each month represents all the liquors sold by
him, require him to state. under oath, that the
persons applying for the same were persons
known to him., were identified, and that the
liquors sold were desired for legitimate purposes,
and in addition thereto that the applicant
signed his W name and not O fictitious
name to the statement. The statement
made by the applicant should be sworn to, and
a false statement should subject the person max.
ing the same to prosecution for perjury. Drunk
enness should be punished by fine and impriSon-
ment, and not in the alternative. For the pure
pose of adding to the machinery already IN
existence for the enforcement of the law, and
for the purpose of purifying the article sold,
some provision should be made for testing the
article for purity by some person, who should
also have power TO make an examination and
report to some person now authorized TO act ia
the endorsements of the law any Irregularities
p~racticed by druggists in the sale of intoxicat
ing liquors. The search and seizure portion. of
the law of 1885 should be made more definite and
certain, and, if possible, more vigorous than it
now is. If the law was so amended that the
county auditor might file with a court of compe-
tent Jurisdiction to determine the case a state
ment that he believed and was informed that a
certain place. TO be described by him, was a
place where liquors were sold, ard that the
name of the person operating the said place was
not known to him; that then it should be the
duty Of said court to issue warrants of search
and seizure directed to some officer authorized
to serve warrants. whose duty it should be ia
make an examination and to seize and take into
custody all liquors and fixtures found in the
place described, and to arrest all persons found
in or about the premises at the time of the seiz-
ure. The provision as now contained in the law
is not broad enough to cover all cases. The
saloon is fast disappearing from the State, prac-
tically is gone. In the counties OF Atchison,
Doniphan, Ford, Leavenworth and Wyandotte,
where it was thought juries could not be OBJ
tanned, prosecutions have resulted in eonvic-
tions, Leavenworth being the last to yield. Since
prohibition is a fixed fact and no longer regarded
as problematical, the means and machinery
without stint should be placed at the m
of those who are charged with the responsibility
of enforcing it"

Feeling of Coles County Republicans in Ref
erence to the Logan Succession.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NATION. Dec. 30.--Among the leading Re-
publicans of this city there are but two topics
being discussed at present. One is the memorial
service in honor of the late Senator Logan,
and the other is the choice Of a successor to
ill the vacancy caused by Logan's death. The
three Republican members of the Legislature
from this district are non-committal as to a
choice for that position. Senator McGrath says
he will keep his mouth locked as by q pad
lock upon this subject for some time
yet. From the expressions of prominent Re-
publicans in the district, it is evident that a
large majority are in favor of Hon. Joseph G.
Cannon, our present Congressman. to fill the
Logan vacancy. Mr.. Cannon has had the pub
lie experience, and is a man of ability sufficient
to fill the position with honor to the people of the
State. Occasionally there is an expression for
Oglesby, Farwell and others, and under certain
conditions, Jehu Baker would be acceptable,
but Cannon is the choice of the party in CEN
trail and eastern Illinois.

MIR. Faulkner Has His SAY.

Washington Special.
Mr.. D. W. ". Spades, who lives at Sunman,
Ind, is a member-elect of the Indiana Legisla-
ture. A few days ago he wrote to Mr.. C. R.
Faulkner, of this city, an ex-Indiana State
Senator, asking his advice as to how he should
cast his vote for United States Senator. Mr..
Faulkner to-day wrote Mr.. Spades, saying:
"As to your vote for United States Senator, I
would say that I am not much of a hand to
advise anyone how to vote. But az you have
kindly asked my opinion, l am open. free and
frank to tell you who is my preference. If |
had a vote it would be given to Hon.
Joseph E. Mcdonald first, and if I could
not get him my second choice would be Judge
Turpie. / would not vote for Holman in any
convention, or for any other man who voted for
the civll-service law. 1t is bad enough to vote
for that kind of men at the polls. That | have
always done, but L will not vote for any one in a
convention who casts a vote for any man that
voted for the civil service law. Now you have
my opinion; do as you please, but if you cast a
vote for any man who voted for the civil service
law you may count my vote against you forever
In anything you may ask for before any CONVEX
tiou. But if Mr.. Holman receives the nomina-
ton, then vote for him like a little man, or any
one else who may be the nominee"

No Tariff Legislation.

Washington Special.
Speaker Carlisle is reported as saying there
will not be any tariff legislation this winter, as
the time is too short now, on account of the diff
ferences in opinion, to pass a measure reducing
the surplus. Beyond the passage of the appro-
p~riation bills, the Speaker does not think
much will be done. 1.-THE House" he says, twill
undoubtedly ratify the interstate
proposition as soon as it is reached if it passes
the Senate. There may be a few days debate,
but the sentiment of the House.is overwhelming
~ in favor of establishing the principle of gov
eminent regulation of the railroad traffic. They
will take this bill as the best that can at present
be obtained as a recognition of this principle,
and will try for something better next time"
