A writer in Souther Planter, Virginia,
agrees to pay 500 to any one who gives
the following fair trial and it does not
prevent hog cholera: Take sack of
salt and barrel OF hard wood ashes
(hickory or oak preferred) J; mix the salt
and ashes thoroughly. prepare box Of
any convenient size, put it under cover
where the hogs can have free access to it
at all times, and keep supply OF the
mixture in it. This mixture will cost
you 81 and come trouble, but will be
sufficient for several hogs for one year.
A writer for the Southern Cultivator
says: Our squash vines have done very
we'll and are yet growing vigorously,
yet not single one Of them has the the
least connection with its original root,
which was long since entirely severed by
the squash vine borer. We had noticed
the injury early in the season, and
covered the growing vines to the length
of perhaps two feet each deeply with
fresh soil, which rrecaution has saved
us the plants by inducing the vines to
form new roots all along the covered
sections.
Newton Kansas: Geo. Davidson, of
Wichita, is being prosecuted by one
Clementine G. Beard, who set forth in
her petition that she has been slandered
end maligned by the defendant, who
used very disrespectful language regard
ing her at Derby in the presence Of
certain persons named. She refuses to
be comforted or satisfied with anything
less than $4,000, which amount she
places upon the damage done her
character.
Newton Republican: D. P. Steiner
received very nice letter from Senator
Plumb, in regard to some land in Marion
county, that was in the early days Of
Kansas the property of the Senator. The
land is near the town of Durham and is
known as Durham Park and Mr.. Stoner
in his letter told the senator that with
his permission he would give his name.
Mr.. Plumb answered that hs would not
only grant the favor but would come
out and help dedicate it if possible.

~ PROSPECT.

Everything points to the ultimate, and
at no distant period in the future, con-
centration of population in this country
to the middle belt running east and west.
Owing to the short growing seasons and
the long and severe winters in the north
ern border there is no increase of pOpu-
lation while in some localities and sec
tons there is an actual decrease as
shown by published statistics. The con-
ditions in the extreme south are no bet
ter, the extreme heat of the long sum-
mers with the hazards of tropical cpl
denies added, which come with almost
equal regularity Of the seasons. render
that section equally as undesirable as a
place Of permanent abode. The belt
embraced between degrees 30 and
-, north latitude, enjoys practical
immunity from the i'll effects incident TO
both of these extremes and in time the
bulk of the population Of North America
will be found in the territory embraced
between the parallels mentioned. The
contraction between any given boun-
diaries of longitude viii not be as great as
the other referred to, yet it will be sufii-
GENTLY marked to attract attention. Our
conclusion, therefore, is that the great
basin between the Allegheny range on
the east and the Rockies Oh the west,
and between the lines Of latitude
named is destined to contain the major
portion of the inhabitants Of North
America.
With this prospective view before US,
therefore, there is no ground for appre-
hension as to the future status of Kansas
in all the coming years. Situated as it is
in the geographical center, it viii as
certainly become the center Of popula-
ton and wealth. To prepare for these
conditions is a matter of far greater con
Germ TO us than feeling solicitous for
the future development of our country.

TILE BETTER TINES.

Edward Atkinson, in an article in the
Forum, illustrates the advantages of i'm
proved methods and machinery by con
trast between the present and fifty years
since, summing UP as follows
The optimist can thus find on every
side the facts which sustain his views
that the general struggle for life is be-
coming easier, not harder, while the sta
tistics of life insurance companies prove
that the duration of life is lengtbening.
In broad and general way, 1t might be
proved that Uncle Sam and his children
have obtained such power over the mech
anism of production and distribution,
during the last twenty-five years. that il
the long hours of work required thirty
years ago TO produce the materials for q
narrow and poor subsistence were now
aDplied under the new conditions, the
same hours would yield at least onethird
more of all the necessaries and comforts
of life than they did then. This gain IN
power has been applied In two ways
first. it has led, in part, to shortening
the hours OF work: secondly, 1t mas led,
IN part, 10 the attalnment OF more aInplN
subsistence, and 70 higher standard OF
common comfort and welfare. A better
subsistence. better clothing, and better
shelter are now obtained. with shorter
hours OF work and less aTduous effort
than ever before. by all who have apti
tude and industry coupled with menta
capacity, which is required 10 enable
them TO adopt the new methods- oucL
must be the necessary CONCLUSION from q
comparison of the conditions Of the pres
ent generation with those of the ons
next preceding T. Yet no one can b
blind 10 the fact that IN many occupations
which are necessary TO the present MODE
OF life, great numbers Of persons ar
either worked TO the utmost OF then

The subject before this gathering Is

A full and complete statement of The
resources Of Dakota territory viii be Of
interest to our many readers, since the
subject of her admission has been much
discussed The population in 1860 was
less than 5000, in 1870 it was a little less
Than 1900. In 1880 ii had increased to
the number of 1866 \ federal census
was taken in 1885, and her population
had increased to the unprecedented
number Of 10000. Since then only ap-
proximate figures can be given, and the
population Of Dakota can now be fairly
stated 10 he about G50, eco souls. This
does not include Indians or half breeds
IN reservations. This is collected from
ihe annual report Of Governor Church,
and is a complete REPUTATION of the
assertion made by certain Democrats
that there is nothing in the question of
tie division and admission of Dakota as
two states bat a scheme to secure the
Iarty advantage that their admission
would afford the Republicans.

Some Sweetening.

The London Economist says that
5.10,,0 600 tons OF sugar We're consumed
by the inhabitants of this planet last
year. OF this amount 2,40,, 600 tons was
beet sugar. and 100000 tons cane sugar.
The other 200, 900 tons We're drawn from
the stocks carried over from the previous
year. The current years consumption
is estimated at 5000, 600 tons. The beet
crop estimate for the year is 2,o50.0G0
tons, and if the crop of cane sugar is the
same as last year,, 800, 600 tOns-there
will be surplus of 10000 tons to stop
the gap made last year by drawing on
the stock in reserve.

NEW STARS.

Not star has been added to the flag
of the union so far during this decade.
If the hitherto unbroken practice of ad-
hitting one or more states during each
decade is not to be broken, congress
must hurry up. But one year remains
in which to add star to the field OF
blue. The fact Is recalled by the Boston
Herald that every decade since the or
ganization Of the government has seen
one or more states admitted to the union.
Colorado. the Centennial state, entered
in 1916; Kansas, Nevada and Nebraska
in the sixties; California, Minnesota and
Oregon in the fifties; Florida, Texas.
Iowa and Wisconsin in the forties; Ar
kansas and Michigan in the thirties;
Louisiana, Indiana, Mississippi, Alabama
and Illinois in the teens. Ohio came IN
1902, while Vermont, Kentucky and
Tennessee ante-date the present century.
II is a poor time to break the rule now,
when so many promising territories are
waiting to enter. There ought to be at
least four new stars for the flag next
year, so that the decade will not close
without securing some new additions to
the glorious family of states.

A Novel Proposition.

LeavenwOrth Timss.
The attorney general recommends. in
his report, that authority be conferred
upon justices of. the peace TO summons
persons before him whom he believes TO
have knowledge of the illegal sale OF
liquors and take testimony where the
county attorney is slow or is not in sym
pathy with the law, which evidence shall
be certified to the county attorney and
he shall prosecute upon it the same as
though he had secured the evidence per
sonally This is certainly novel propo-
sition-so much So that the legislature
will consider it q long time before giving
it the force of law.
