ST. PAUL, Aug. 26.-At the FArmerS'
congress this morning T. 8. Coffin Of
Fort Dodge, Iowa, read IN interesting
paper on the great governing power In
fixing freight rates on railways In
America. He closed by arguing the APP
pointmenE of . national railroad COM

dress the committee on resolu-
tons presented report which
tons adopted ask congress to create the
Office Of secretary Of agriculture and to
make the officer cabinet member. They
also ask the extension Of the signal SER
vice to all places reached by telegraph.
They request congress to regulate inter-
state commerce In such q manner a. to
protect the productive industries Of the
country. They recommend an apprc-
priatiOn Of % ,OO0, 600 to stamp out con-
tARtous diseases among domestic AMI

and urge upon congress the

The resolutions also recommend the res

maintenance Of the tariff on rice and

earnestly requested to pass laws to pre-
vent what Ii known As dealing In futures.

United States, requesting the farmers Of
each state to organize assemblies, which
shall be entitled to send representatives
to the Farmers National congress in
proportion OF one delegate for each
United States senator and representative
in congress from that state. Two prOpo-
sitiOnS, one to adopt the OullOm inter
state bill and the other to adopt the Raa-
gan bill, were proposed. During the
discussion OF the tariff resolution speeches
took wide range and il was treated a.
q question Of protection against free

decidedly in the ascendant and when the
vote was announced in faver Of the reso-
luton as amended, there was much ap-
plause.
At the afternoon session lively dis
cussion took place on the resolution
recommending restoration Of the wool

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-Charley Vellek,
aged six years old, living at No. 10 Zion
Place, was tempted to run out and play
last evening without his fathers permits
sion, and came near paying the penalty
with his life. The neighbor boys, with
whom he had committed the sransgres-
sion, not hearing any sounds OF chastise-
ment peeped in ct the back yard to see
what had become Of their playmate
after he had been dragged in
by his father. They were shocked to see
the little fellow hanging TO post on the
woodshed apparently dead. A rope had
and his arms were extended and tied to
other points Of the wall. He was black
in the face and unconscious. A Cry that
Charley was dead or dying went up from
the Mortified children, and Kate DVorak
q domestic employed at the adioining
house, went out to see what the
matter was. She seized Q Ratchet and
cut the cbild down. He was eenseless.
The girl picked him up and carried him
in to her mistress, where means were
taken 70 restore life. When these were
partially successful he went into violent
commissions. II was an hour before he
could stand up. His father had tied him
up. An officer was notified, and Michael
Vellek spent the night in the station. In
the west Twelfth street police court this
morning Vellek, sullen looking Bo-
hemiAn, was arreigned for his act. He
appeared Indifferent and expressed No
desire to excuse himself OF explain mat

who attended the child before fixing the
penalty or sending the case to the grand

In some way the New Orleans Item has
found out that comfortable $500, 600 slice
of the munificent bequest of Samuel j.
Tilden to the public OF New York city is
likely TO be grabbed by the state under q
new law which has just come to the notice
OF the lawyers. This statute imposes q
state tax Of per cent on all requests to a
public cause. Libraries, are under the
law, exempt from all tax, but as nearly as
the lawyers can make out, Mr.. Tilden did
not leave his estate, legally, to library,
but for what will be library some time,
though. perhaps, not for fifty years. The
tax, 1t is provided, shall accrue on the
death of the decedent, and per cent tax
Is to be added for any delay in the pay.
ment. The question will be taken before
the court for settlement, but there is nc
doubt among the lawyers that the estate
will have to pay the sum, with $40, 600 as
fec for collection. The county treasurer
who will have the task of gathering in
this piece of wealth for the state is already
an object of envy among his coHfreres.

In the early part of October We expect
to have in our city thousands Of strangers
from all parts of Kansas, and especially
from the smaller cities In and around the
counties In our immediate neighborhood.
Most Of these latter mentioned visitors
will come to EmporIa prepared TO make
purchases of every kind imaginable, right
ly thinking that they will be enabled TO
suit themselves better and get better bar
gains at this place than they would be
able to obtain at the smaller towns in
their own neIghborhood. This being the
case 1t viii behoOve our merchants TO be-
stir themselves to meet the demands that
Will be made upon them. Il will also be

and where their places of business are To-
Gated. In order to do this, undoubtedly
the medium Of the newspapers, and possi-
bly, the evening paper, being issued at a
time of day when our people haye the
most leisure, Is the best IN which to make

natural result Is increased sales. II is,
also, permanent addition TO the reputa-

promotes trade, and as 9 proof of this 1t
may be seen that those who advertise do
by far the largest share of what business
Is being done.
Some merchants think 1t does not pay
to advertise, but it is a mistake. No longer
ago than last week one of our merchant
tailors proved the contrary by actual ex-

Those of our business men who propose
TO get their due share of the transient

days would do well to think the matter
over, and ask themselves whether they can
afford to let the OPT ortunity slip. BY all
means put your firm name, business Ioca-
ton and line of goods in which you deal
in your city papers if you expect to do
your share of business.

1t was issued In a series of twenty num-
bers, containing five plates each, and the
subscription price was cit los. There
were endless troubles with the engravers
and 1t was not paying well and was absn-
doned after seventy plates We're issued. 1t
seemed to be so worthless that Charles
Turner, one of the engravers, used some of
the proofs for kindlIng paper. After the
artist became famous, however, this Liber
StudIorum grew to be very valuable. Be-
fore Turner died, copy was worth thirty
guIneas, and more recently . single copy
has brought three thousand pounds, or
nearly fifteen thousand dollars. Colnaghi,
the London print dealer, paid Charles
Turner fifteen hundred pounds for the
proofs which he had not destroyed; and

are shown with great sharpness. The
