PLEASANT VIEW ITEMS.

There IS an anxiety on the face of
every farmer, for fear he will not get
his grain cut, and it does look that
way just now. Many blame the ma
chime agents, and we believe justly
for not sending sooner for binders.
Because had they sent two weeks ear
lier, then we would have had our
binders and some other county be-
sides this would have been without
machines.
There will be preaching next Sum
day by Rev. Cocks.
Weeds are now the greatest trouble
farmers have.
Mrs. Spaulding of the Burg, and
Mrs. Frederick, were at Mr.. Ives and
elsewhere last Saturday, gathering
flowers for Children's Day at the
Baptist church.
Bridges are down in several places.
1t is reported that rust is in the
wheat, but not sufficient to do much
damage.
Sod houses are tumbling down.
Some one was minus a cuItivator
wheel, and with unbounded gener-
osity made visit to a neighbors
house either at night or while he was
absent, and took a wheel off of his
cultivator. 1t seems we are cursed
with these kind of sneaks, and while
they are not caught in the act, yet
they are not Swallowed, and accord
ing to the inevitable law of God
sooner or later they will be caught in
their own devices.
The bridge over Deer Creek has
again been made unsafe by the late
rains. Part of the bridge was wash
ed away and is now gone down the
creek. 1t will be some time before
travelling can be done on this road.
w. j. Siegrist and wife, of Logan,
were visiting in this neighbor6ood
last Saturday and Sunday. Mrs.
Siegrist will remain down here sew
eral weeks to attend the Normal.
The heavy rains have washed out
dams by the wholesale. WILSON.

A New Thing in Politics.

Indianapolis Nel0s: The Farmers
Alliance of Alabama has ordained a
season of prayer for its success.
This has caused smile to wrinkle
the editorial columns of some of the
newspapers. Just before the battle
of Marston Moor the Puritans knelt
to pray "They have surrendered al
ready" said one of King Charles's
lieutenants. 'Nay" was the reply of
a graver head, when you see them
kneeling look out for fierce fight"
The Alliance may haYe some queer
notions, but when it appeals to a
higher power, it shows, at least, that
it is in earnest and in fighting trim,
and will make some body uneasy.

a Mistake.

CoNcoRD1A, Hans, June 15. 1891.
Special to The ADVOCATES:
The following resolution appeared
in the Topeka Capital of the 18th:
CLOUD COUNTY KICKS.
Special to the Capital:
CoNcoRDIA, June 1.-THE follow
ing resolution was unanimously
adopted at the last meeting of the
Cloud County Alliance, June 8:
WHEREAS, The south was not rep
resented in the late Cincinnati con-
vention, and
WHEREAS, We believe the third
party Will disrupt the Republican
party to the benefit of the Democrat
ic party; therefore, be it
ResOlUed, That we abandon the
third party to return to our past affili-
alton.
Let me say that this resolution is
entirely false and that we have had
no meeting since April Is, and at
that meeting elected Hon. S. G..
Wheeler and w. Q. Slavery as dele
gates to represent us in the Clncin-
natl convention which duty they per-
formed nobly. Our people are well
pleased with the action of that con-
vention and will no doubt ratify its
atetions at our next meeting. I have
written to the Capital asking that it
acknowledge the lie or publish the
authors name. Poor old Capital.
How many more forged resolutions
will you publish? It would be well
that you stop such rascality or hang
out a sign Forged resolutions solicit
ted or made up at this Office.
Fraternally yours,
q. w. CoFFEY,
President Cloud County Alliance.

SALooNKEEPERs and others who
deal in cigars would do well to close
ly study the law enacted by the last
congress in regard to the sale of
cigars. The government law on the
subject says, cigars must be sold to
the customer direct from the proper
ly stamped box. A dealer who takes
out a handful of cigars and lays them
before the buyer to choose from, or a
saioonkeeper who brings a customer
a cigar on a plate or in glass, makes
himself liable to fine of S10O.-Atch-

The law passed by the Nebraska

sion, declaring all grain elevators in
the state public warehouses, goes in
to effect this week. Throughout the
state alliance organizations have built
many elevators. Instead of the eDor-

grain men assert that it viii go to the
elevators and will not be placed on
the market until prices have mater

Remnants of the Two Old Parties
IN Kansas.

Ottawa (Kan) Journal: All the
better classes of Democracy through
out the state are silently but surely
deserving and going into the peoples
party. They have become Disguised
with old party corruption, and have,
moreover, grown tired of fighting for
democratic Supremacy in Kansas.
The bond of friendship, which is ap-
parently growing between the repub-
lican and bourbon politicians, has dis
gusted the rank and file of respect
able democracy. So far has this spir-
it grown, that the Salina Herald, one
of staunchest Democratic papers IN
the state, has come out with the an
nouncement that henceforth it will be
a peoples party paper. The Herald
was a bitter snti-peoples party paper
last fall That there will be but two
tickets in the state in '92 is now q
foregOne conclusion Even this fall,
in many parts of the state, there will
be fusion between the remnants Of
the two old parties

AlfaIfa-Growing in Kansas.
BROWN COUNTY.


A. p. BROWNING, Hamlin.-Have
grown alfalfa eight years in a small
way. 1 now have six acres on upland.
In preparing for a crop I pillow during
the fall, stir the ground in the spring
with a cultivator and level with
harrow, SOW 80 pounds of seed to
the acre, and cover with a smoothing
harrow. The crop is not of value for
hay or pasture the first year. After
the first season L cut the crop twice
for hay and once for seed. L get on
an average two tons of hay per acre
at each cutting. Alfalfa makes the
best kind of fodder. and all kinds of
stock thrive wonderfully on it. The
average yield of seed per acre Is five
bushels. The price now is S. per
bushel. The total product of alfalfa
IN hay and seed per acre, an average
year, is $45. L shall SOW fifty acres
of alfalfa this spring. believe it is
destined to work revolution in farm
ing in this part of Kansas.
BUTLER coUETY.
S. T. HYDE, Leon.-Have been
growing alfalfa three years, and have
fifteen acres on second-bottom land.
I prepare the ground in the same way
as for wheat, and SOW the seed from
the middle of March to the middle of
April, covering it with brush or
light harrow. The crop Is of some
value for hay or pasture the first year,
but it is best not to pasture 1t late.
After the first year cut from two to
three times, and consider the hay as
good as corn and prairie hay. L
would not recommend sowing alfalfa
on upland with clay subsoil if solid
rock is found within six feet of the
surface.
CHASE COUNTY.
J. r. BLAcKsHIRE, Elmdale.-Six-
teen years experience in growing al
falfa. Have now on bottom land four
hundred and fifty acres. make the
seed-bed mellow and smooth, and SOW
not less than twenty pounds of seed
per acre, in March and April. Dur
ing the first year the crop is of value
for pasture or hay; afterward I cut
from two to three times during the
season. For the last ten years, I
think the average yield has been five
tons per acre. 1t is worth much more
than prairie hay; the demand governs
the price. The yield Of seed per acre
is from three to five bushels. 1 am
delivering mine on cars for five dol
lars per bushel. Alfalfa will thrive
on upland with clay subsoil if there
is no hard-pan.
CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY.
r. S. BROWN, Grenola.-Have had
three years experience in growing al
falfa. Have now six acres on second
bottom land. [ plowed and harrow
ed the ground in the spring, sowed
one-half bushel of seed per acre, and
then narrowed both ways of the land
The crop makes late pasture the first
year. Afterwards I have cut as many
as three times during the season, and
got about one ton at each cutting, and
then had fine pasture late in the fall
1 intend to SOW one-half of my farm
with alfalfa. The seed is worth S.
per bushel.

ance created such asensation, though,
it could scarcely. be called mysterious.
Captain Howgate was arrested
for malfeasance and was locked
up in Jail. One day, in charge,
OF deputy warden, he was:
allowed to visit his family, and get
ting out OF the jailer's sight for a
moment, he disappeared, and has
never been seen here since. He was
very prominent in society here, and
his disappearance created a great
sensation at the time, Most people
have forgotten him, however, and no
one seems to know whether he is alive.

Many OF the mysterious disappear
ance have been of men who came to-
Washington to get governmental posi-
tions: They failed, got out of money
and finally solved the problem OF how
to live by dying, jumped into the river
at night. Their bloated and fish
nibbled bodies were fshed up days
afterwards by the river men, and
either buried unidentified in the pot
ter's field or recognized by friends
and sent home for burial.

A Fakir'S Neat Trick.

A wandering sleight-of-hand man
was entertaining the loungers at the
Gibson one afternoon with AID
exhibition of his tricks. After showing
them a good number OF them, he said:
But l have one good thing that I
call the dime trick.'
OF course they all wanted to see that,
so heinstructed good number OF them
to give him a dime after having mark
ed it and carefully noted the date
About a dozen of the bystanders did
so,and he took them all, shook them
up and then showed each man another
dime than the one he had marked, ac-
companying each dime with the ques-
ton:
"Is that yours?"
Each man OF course said No." and
he turned away. saying; Then they
must all be mine"
The crowd was too much sold to-
kick-except themselves, for having
bitten so.-From the Cincinnati Times

Why the CurfeW Rang,

When we learn from William of
Malmesbury that eating and drinking
were carried to a point of shocking
greediness and made the chief delight
of q great party OF the population,
and feasts began as early as possible
in the day and lasted late, that law
lessness and robbery were the rule by
night, we no longer can wonder that
the famous curfew bell was turned to
as wise police regulation. The king
simply reflected upon q similar state
OF things in Normandy in his early
days, where he had brought about
necessary law and order by the same
determination that every household
fire and light should be put out at
eight O'Clock in winter and sunset in
summer and every man must be at
home under grave penalties. He had
seen the excellent effect of this ringing
OF the curfew bell, he did not make it
out OF hand to shame and Cypress his
new subjects, but for their needed
safety and the country's good

A River. by Order Of the Colo
mel.

Captain Charles C. King tells the fol-
lowing neat military anecdote:' There
was a subordinate officer, inclined to
hair-splitting, who had received orders
from his Colonel to put his battalion
in camp on the other side of the river,
facing east, and he did not. Presently
the Colonel saw that his orders were
not being carried out, and not beingin
a mood for direct inaction. he put
spurs to his horse, dashed through
the stream, md reigned up alongside
OF his victim with, Didn't order
you, sir, to put your battalion in
camp along the river, facing east?,,'
Yes, sir; but this amt a river, it's
only a creek Greek be hanged, sir;
it's a RIVERA river from this time
forth, by order, sir. Now, do as I tell
you There was no further delay"
