THAT ROW.

The Kansas City StGr has succeeded
to it's own satisfaction in working up
row in the Kansas State Alliance
this week, which is to be another step
toward the disintegrstion Of the Alli-
snce.' The Alliance has had so
many rows, and has been 80 frequent
ly disintegrated-in the columns Of
opposition papers that it has come
to really enjoy the new opportunities
for rows and disintegrations and to
actually gain strength by them. Yes,
we shall have a regular old style row,
just the kind of one we always have
when our people get together; and
after it is all over we shall return to
our several posts Of duty and resume
the work of building up and strength
enlng the organization, adding to its
membership and increasing the vote
for the Peoples party in 1892, just as
though nothing unusual had hap
pened. We advise the Star to have
a representative on the ground on

OUR ROBUST PROSPERITY.

Under this title Milps Weekly
World publishes an interesting ab-
stract of the books of the sheriff of
Labette county. The character of
this abstract is stated as follows:
Il shows the number of mortgage fore
closures, amount of judgment in each case,
with costs and taxes due, the amount real
lied on sale, and the amount remaining
unpaid, for which a personal judgment
hangs over an unfortunate debtor. This
does not include the property turned over
to the mortgage company TO avoid judg-
ment in which the property is simply made
to cancel the debt.
We have not space for the figures.
The table given shows the day of
sale, the kind Of property (farm or
city,, amount of judgment, amount
realized from sale, taxes and costs,
and amount remaining unpaid in
each case. These are the sales dur
ing one year and eight months pre-
ceding. All these have been reported
by the Capital in it's statistical re-
port as paid. II sends out blanks to
each county calling for the number
Of mortgages released, and the nnm-
ber filed, and then publishes all re-
ported released as paid. 1t is an
infamous swindle deliberately perpe-
trated for purposes Of deception.
The following is the summary Of
the Weekly World Of the sales in

SENATORIAL ELECTION.
! p. m.

By reference to our correspondents
column il will be seen that the Peo-
ple's party has placed Hon. Frank
Hopkins in nomination for State Sena-
tor in the Fortieth Senatorial district
of Kansas. As nomination is equivs-
lent to an election in that district it
is safe to say that Mr.. Hopkins will
succeed Hon. Hill P. Wilson in the
State Senate. OF course the present
election is a somewhat empty honor,
but the election of Mr.. Hopkins at
this time means his election again
next year. This eventually means 3
vote for United States Senator to
succeed Senator Plumb. The people
OF the Fortieth district must not fail
to do their duty in this election.

IONS SECURED FOR ALL GRADUl

Here are 16l mortgage sales, the total
amount of judgment being over $3.50 OOO,-
and after the sales have taken place over
$4,000 remains unpaid. Over 9,163 acres
of land have gone over to the mortgage
companies during this time, or two-Rfths
of township six miles square. Can you

STILL THEY COME.

The Republican press and the de-
praved tools of the Republican ring
in Kansas continue to pursue Presi-
dent Polk with the malignancy Of
fiends. They appear to think that il
they can stain the reputation Of 9
few leaders Of this movement it will
prove the principles for which we are
contending false. Last year the
story, which, like the present one, was
published on the testimony Of an old
soldier, related to the shooting oI
prisoners at Gettysburg. We have
published urquestionable testimony
including a letter from the union
officer in command of the regiment
from which the prisoners were said
to have been taken, certifying that
no such thing occurred. The bloody
shirt must be kept on exhibition
however, and hence the scene il
changed. Other old soldiers arr
found who are willing to prostitute
themselves to the unholy cause o.
sectionslism and partyism, and the
Salisbury story is originated for this
campaign. When this has been "a
thoroughly exploded as its prede-
cessor, another will probably be in.
vented for the campaign next year
provided there is enough left Of the
Republican party to make q show Of
a campaign The testimony is CON
tinuslly accommodating, and we add
another installment this week. We
do this with no expectation OF pro
ducing any impression upon those
who are conducting this campaign oi
falsehood and personal villification
because they are acting under in
structions and because they have nc
argument to offer against our princi'
pies instead of this slsnder; but we
do it to show to the people the ami
mus of the opposition. We add the
following testimony this week:

1fiey Assure a Sufficient supply of Pure
Water for Stock.
Having noticed several articles on the
subjec. or pure water for stock, and
knowing it's Importance, and also that
there are many localities where it is
impossible to bring the water from
springs or depend on the small supply
from wells, / would recommend we'll
constructed cistern or number of els
terms connected together. Let us look
to the roofs of available buildings at the
first source of supplying water. Take
a roof say OF 42x52 feet, including pro-
jections. and we have 2,1S4 square feet
of surface. Allowing the annual rain
fall to be 3S15 inches, building of the
dimensions given would catch, in a
year, 52.411 gallons, or 1868 barrels,
which had much better be utilized in
this way than to be allowed to drip
into manure piles, thus washing their
goodness away. A cistern large enough
to hold 1868 barrels would have to be
90 feet in diameter and % feet deep,
but as the rain does not all come at
once, and it is not all used at once, the
dimensions need not be quite so large.

How an Animal Afflicted with the All.
ment Can BE Cured.
This disease occurs often with the
horse and sometimes with the dog.
The animal as a rule is always hungry
and thin, the skin sticking to the ribs,
fitted to the bones almost as tight as a
drum. The disease is caused generally
by poor feed, or by the animal being a
greedy feeder and not digesting its
food. A farmer who feeds poor, smut
ty food, and not very often, will get
his horse into the habit of plunging
his head into the nanger and gulping
food as if he were going to catch
train. In little while the horse be-
gins to look thin and does not act as
lively as usual and the owner doses
him with condition powders, but with
out avail. and it is not long before his
horse is run down. First, says
writer in New York Tribune, give the
animal dose Of some good purgative,
and at the same time give him a rest.
Then l would give about every three
days in his evening feed teaspoonful
of powder composed as follows: Gen
tian root, three drachms; sulphate of
iron, two drachms; which can be OBJ
tanned of any reliable druggist When
say evening feed mean feed COM
posed not of oats and hay but of some
thing in the style of bran, fine feed or
middlings. When you have given about
five of these doses [ would discontinue
them for about three weeks and then
give him three or four more. tried

CD, inlet and outlet pipes.

In choosing site do not make the
maGe the mistake of building in an in
convenient place just to save few
cents worth of spouting, but consider
the number of steps you may save in a
year. TO illustrate: Mr.. A. has barn
in which he keeps stock. To save
spouting he digs a cistern at the oppo-
site end, 81 feet from the stock, to
which he carries IS pailfuls per day;
six rods per pail and los rods per day;
Coz miles in six months, when he
might have built within Is feet.
Do not make even horse or a COW
drink unfltered water. There are al
ways dust and dirt around barn,
especially if there is thrashing done
near it, and great deal will get on
the roof and be carried by the rain into
the cistern. Having had over twenty
years experience in building like the
following plan for general purposes as
well as any l have ever tried.
Dig cistern, or rather double one,
according to Fig. 1. making one larger
and deeper than the other, and, if pos
sible, make as large as needed, remem-

until the top is reached. AS soon as
the wall of the main cistern is up to

of both and carry up together. Thor
oughly cement the corners at A, A, Fig.
J., and also at the bottom where the
filtering wall B is to be laid. Lay fl
tering wall of porous or hollow brick,
well bedded and jointed with cement,
but do not plaster on either side. After
the walls are up fix the bottom, and
thoroughly cement the outside walls
and bottom with two good coats of ce-
ment. Make both inlet and outlet
pipes in receiving part of cistern. As
will be seen by Fig. l, when the water
is drawn below the lowest point of the
smaller cistern the latter will be empty
and can easily be entered and all accu-
mutations of dirt removed. Be sure to
build deep enough in the earth SO as te
