balance with those countries.
Brazil levies q duty Of "a cents
per bushel on wheat, 5 cents per
pound on lard, and an export duty

Argentine Republic levies duty
of $4 per barrel on flour and 45

umbia imposes a duty Of So per
barrel on flour and IL cents per

ed meats. With the remaining
South American.countries the du-
ties on flour, wheat, lard and
meats are equally high as in the
countries named. Thus it will be
seen that it is next to impossible
to do business with them.
The reciprocity measure will
correct this evil.A fre. sugar mar

Ignoring the ''0Id Man" ="

We are glad to see numerous
protests in the press against the
way in which the old man has
been ignored. The many virtues
and good qualities of the mother
have been celebrated both in po-
etry and prose, in connection with
the lives of all our great men.
This is as it should be. Perish
the wretch who would blot out a
line of this praise. But in renlem-
bering the mother, why forget
the father, better known as the
"old man?" 1t is true the old man
is not always person of ideal
physical beauty. You don't feel
like writing sonnets about him;
and even rondeau would be out of
place in celebrating his homely
virtues. But he toiled to feed and
clothe the future man, perhaps
sat up at night with him in
sickness. And in a multi
tude of ways denied him
self the pleasures and comforts of
life In order to give the young
man a chance. Poor, patient,
brave, accomplishing, awkward
old man, how little our literature
has to say about him. How gen
orally he is ignored when living
and forgotten when dead-Ex

lain's Cough Remedy sells better
than any other" The reason of
this is because it can always he

troubled with severe cold give it
trial and they will find that the
first dose will relieve the lungs
and make breathing easier, and
that its continued use will free the
system of all symptoms of the

The ideal magazine should be

tempting, satisfying, never heavy,
each course perfect in itself, with
dainty entrees and entrements to
give zest and piquancy, the whole
atfordlng such pleasure and salts
faction that it leaves a desire for
a repetition of the feast. This is
the case with the Demorest's Fam
lily Magazine for October, just re-
ceived; when one has read it all
through (and everyone who takes
it up will do so) there is desire
to begin at the beginning and en-
Joy it all over again.
The October number takes us

Hearst of California; and when
one has looked through the mag
nificent illustrations, one feels

Smith & Dunkin the druggists
wish to remind their patrons that
it is a dangerous policy to wait
until taken sick before buying a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
Every family should be. provided
with some reliable remedy for
bowel complaints. ready for i'm
mediate use, whenever required,
during the summer months, and
this remedy is unquestionably far
superior to any other. 1t can always
be depended upon, and is pleasant
and safe to take. 1t is put up in

The new tariff law strikes a
deadly blow at the sugar trust.
Congress adjourned We'd
nesday. But not until the tariff
bill had become law.
Mr.. Hatch has never cast a
single vote that was of any bene-
fit to the Western farmer. Why
return him to Congress another
term?
The Republican party of
Missouri expects st. Louis to send
three Republicans to Congress.
Loyalty is demanded, and disloy-
atty will be resented in a way
that will not be soon forgotten.
--Canada objects to the
Mckinley tariff bill on the ground
that it will prevent the export Of
fifteen millions worth of Canada

compete with the farmers of the
United States.
Affairs in Wall Street have
settled down into normal tone.
The purchasers of bonds and the
prepaymants of interest have
thrown into circulation about
S5,000,000 dollars. This is the lar
gest contribution to the money
in circulation that has ever
been made within a like period
during the history Of our national
finances. We have within the past
month received an immense infia-
ton of the active circulation,
which supplemented by the fu-
ture operation of the Silver Act
will be virtually continuous and
permanent.
Prof. ]. E. Fellers, of La
Belle, received the nomination for
the state senate at the Republl-
can Senatorial convention, held at
Canton, September Oath. Mr..
Fellers is young man of fine at
tainments, and will make a bril-
liant canvass. He began life as a
Democrat, but voted for Garfield.
When his party nominated Mar
maduke for governor, and Bill
Downing for the state senate the
final separation came. He de-
clared that, if he could not be q |
Democrat without voting for such
men, he would join the Republi-
can party, which he did. He
shonld be elected by an over
whelming majority.
The provisions of the tariff |
bill, which has become a law, after
months of discussion, are all de-
signed to secure the home market
in the United States to the home
producer. The reciprocity amend
ments, suggested by Mr.. Blaine
make this even more emphatic.
They are drawn SO as to apply to
countries whose staple products
are altogether different from those
of our own. Their object is to get
q wide market for what the United
States can export in return for
what We do not produce at all or

Indian Payments.

Friday last, Maj. I. j. Moore, at the
Quapaw Agency, made payment "a
tho Shawnee Indians. There arc 81
in the tribe, and they were paid $ll.4S
each, making a total of 1915.
Monday the SeDccas were paid TO-
tai of $2,791, about $1,000 to each one
of the tribe. There are 263 of the
Senecas.
The Peoria payment came of Tues
day and that tribe received $2,4O8
There are between l60 and l65 Indi'
ans belonging TO that tribe and they
received about $14.60 each.
This makes total of over $1,000
paid to the Indians at the Quapaw
Agency within the past eight days
A great many of the Indians do all oil
their trading in Seneca, SO our mer'
chants are benefited considerably by
these frequent payments.

Intellect. learning and inventive genius
will do for agriculture what has been

method will soon be discovered for
making the free nitrogen of atmo-

hundred bushels Of grain will be
raised from an acre that now pro-

A Word About Fruit.
Wichita Eagle.

A farmer in western Missouri has
an apple orchard which contains 160
acres. He will raise this season 90
900 barrels Of apples, for which he ex-
poets to receive $4,000. II is asserted
that the fruit Is worth more money
than the land on which it grew; but
this can hardly be. Whatever the
land would sell for, its value cannot
but be estimated at what it is capable
Of producing and the cash returns re-
allied thereirom. There are farms in
this county whose yields of fruit are
worth more, or would be II utilized to
the best advantage, than their yields
Of anything else, but which valuable
fruits are allowed to 90 10 waste,
largely, either from carelessness or
want of facilities for handling and
taking care of it. Almost all fruits
are as valuable and often more sale.
able when evaporated, canned or pre-.
served than in their fresh state, and
the expense of treating the fruit this
way is but little II any more in time
and money than of marketing ii as
gathered, unless there is a good mar
ket close at hand.
1t may be safely asserted that what
is permitted to 60 to waste on the
average farm, one year with another,
is sufficient TO constitute a fair profit
on the years operations if turned to
proper account. This is q high CON-
pliment to the generosity of nature,
but it is anything but a compliment
to the thrift and energy and good
management of the individual who
thus abuses il.

Our Post Flag.

Eight years ago the ladies Of Baxter
Springs and vicinity presented to the
q. A. r. post of this city q handsome
silk flag. Since that time the flag has
been present at every state encamp-
meRt and at five national encamp-
lnenis. 1t has visited San Francisco,
Portland, Milwaukee, st. Louis, and
Columbus, Ohio, but the late reunion
here was a little too much for the old
flag, with its four days rain upon it.
1t is now completely ruined and ought
TO be replaced at once, considering the
amount of hard work and time which
has been spent in getting up and con-
tlncting the past reunions by the men,
hers of orr own home post. We be-
lieve that our citizens and business
,nen ought to get together and raise
sufficient amount Of money to pur-
chase new flag and then present it

ct their services during the past.
