STOCK AND FARM,

Winchester Herald: There are hun
dreds of tons of hay left over in Jeffer-
son and Leavenworth counties.
Coldwater Review: s. S. DeLair
states that he has 60 acres of corn which
is up and will soon be ready to culti-
vate. He also says he has so acres of
as fine wheat as he ever saw. Mr.. De
Lair is man who is never idlS>and in
consequence has made big success Of
farming in Comanche county.
Cedar Vale Star: VIM. McCarty has
$50 acres Of corn planted, thanks to the
help of his girls, and he thinks his girls
will do more work with a riding pillow
than anybody's boys, and we remember
hearing Herbert Brown Dragging about
the help he gets from his girls. That is
evidently good neighborhood up
there.
Summerfeld Sun: Some excitement
was caused by the "bulls and bears of
Summerfeld bucking each other in the
corn market. The farmers took advantage
of the raise in prices and rushed in their
spare corn, receiving three cents more
per bushel than grain b:yers were pay
ing in surrounding towns. We under
stand there is still quite rivalry exist
ing between buyers here.

Kinsley Mercury: The Santa Fe
officials have notified their agent here
that everything possible is being done
by the various railroads in Kansas to
make an agreement that will give the
farmers the benefit of corn rates on mel
ons. This is one of the greatest melon
producing countr es on the globe, but
the trouble has been that the freight
rate has been SO excessive that there was
no profit in them. If this matter is
remedied it viii put thousands Of dol

cia1 ballot which will be given to you by
the election officer. When / receive 1t. l
will pay you the money agreed upon.
The corrupt voter goes through all the
forms prescribed by law to reyent Drlpery
and intimidation; receives an official bal
lot from the election officer; deposits the
forged ballot; hands over the genuine bal
lot to the worker of the Tasmaplan
Racket, and pockets his reward.
AN AID TO CORRUPTION.
A little consideration of the Tasmanian
Racket will seem to show that it has
beautiful points independent of beating
the Australian law. 1t acts as a perfect
check on the %corrupter and corrupted. h
genuine ballot serves as q receipt. so
many genuine ballots turned in, so many
voters corrupted. One great obstacle to
buying elections has been that a
large proportion of the corruption fund
sticks to the hands of the corrupters. II
the Tasmanian Racket can be worked with
success this win be prevented. The cor
rupter will be entrusted with SO much
money and will be required to turn in so
many genuine ballots, each one of which
will represent one vote bought. Men who
buy whole States will be able to reduce
their rates fifty per cent. if the Racket is
all it is cracked up to be.
Further reason for delay is found in the
fact that there are ON the statute books of
New Jersey a great many laws relating to
special local elections. These laws are not
or rather the difficulty, of reconciling the
provisions in these enactments with the
Kane bill, will be the cause of much con-
fusion. At least, that is the opinion ex-
pressed by gentlemen who have examined
the subject.

had been laid for him. During the
course of the evening he was called to
the centre of the floor and Miss Sarah
Brewer, on behalf of the members OF
the company, presented him with a
handsome gold medal.
The surprise was complete, and
when the Lieutenant bad recovered
from it, he made a neat speech, in
which he thanked his friends for the
gift. Among those present we're
Miss Lily B. Sproul, Miss Ida
Varick, the Misses Rae and
Cora Clark, Miss Maggie Mcdonald,

He Is in Jail Now,

Henry Brelthauer was arraigned in
the Court of Special Sessions yesterday
morning. He was indicted for beat
ing his wife. His plea was guilty, but
when he made it he burst into tears
and declared that his wife provoked
him to tine act. He said that he gave
her each month $50 or SIS, and that
until six weeks ago theylived happily.
She then fonnd fault with him, and
several days ago beat him with a loaf
of bread. He declared that when he
came home from his work in New York
she abused him, and that the nightthe
assault took place she struck him and
then dared him to strike her. He was
brave enough to do this, and hit her
four times. The Court decided that
his pluck was worth ten days in the
County Jail and sent him there.
