Mr.. Harrison's Scheme to Head or the
Man from Name.
A Washington correspondent reports
republican politician who took a
prominent part in the last campaign as
saying that before the next presiden-
tial fight it will be necessary to inter-
est the people in more sensational"
issue than that of the tariff if the. re-
publicans are to- go into the contest
with any hope of winning According
to this politician the protection issue
cannot be relied on to hold the repub-
lican voters, since it has been practi-
,cally abandoned by one of their most
popular leaders.
Tue new and sensational issue, ac-
cording to this party schemer, is to be

Too Long Exposure tho Cause of n Great

II. B. Gurler, in recent issue of
IIoard's Dairyman, said: Judging from

ton with feeders of ensilage, there are
some making the mistake of exposing
too much surface TO. the number of cat

trouble with milk from ensilage feed
was traced to moldy and decayed en-.

!; 1t has occurred to me that we might
have rule to apply to size Of compart-
ments in silos. Let it be Il certain mum.
Der of square feet per animal
Probably a majority of farmers feed
some kind of dry coarse feed besides
cnsilage and do not feed more than one
cubic foot per animal per day, and if
we remove two inches per day from the
exposed surface as advise d in the Wis
consin bulletin, we are using one-sixth
of foot in depth daily or one foot in
depth in six days. BY this rule we
could have exposed six square feet. per
animal to be fed. For twenty cows a
s.lo or compartment ten by twenty
would be the proper size. This be-
1ieve to be safe rule. 81
In cold weather the surface exposed
per animal, can be increased. but fo,
fall and spring weather, believe six
feet per anilnal is plenty near enough
the danger line. i.#s...
have been thinking for some time
to give nv ideas on this question and

A Sketch of Judge Osborn.
Last week the Ness County Nesus 6


| Last week the Ness County News gave
a sketch of the lives of the District
Judges that have presided in that county
since its organization. We extract the
following concerning one Of Trego
county's citizens.
stephen Jonathan Osborn was born
near Easton, Preble county, Ohio, No
vember %, 1874. His parents moved to
Henry County, Iowa, about year and
half later. locating on a farm near Mt.
Pleasant. His father purchased wooden
mill at Oakland Mills in the same county
when young Osborn was thirteen years of
age, putting the boy to work learning the
mysteries of carding and spinning. He
remained in this place until he was about
twenty years of age.
April 4, 1861, at the age of seventeen.
he enlisted in Co. A., 45th Regiment Iowa
Infantry volunteers, and served until
about the Goth of September, 1864 At
the time Of his enlistment he was attend
ing school at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and on
his return from the war.entered the Iowa
Wesleyan University, located at the same
place, but reverse in his fathers for
tunes compelled him to abandon college
in 1866 and resume work at his trade of
carding and spinning, continuing in that
occupation until 1869, when he went to
Mills county, Iowa, and worked on farm
until the fall of 1870, at which time he re-
moved to Atchison county, Missouri.
There he taught school, reading law at
the same time. In September. 1872, he
was admitted to the bar, and at once
formed partnership with John D. Camp
bell for the practice of law. In 1876 he
was elected prosecuting attorney of At
Gibson county, Missouri.
In the spring of 1874 he married Miss
Belle McCreary, of Rockport, Missouri,
and in 1879, upon the expiration of his
term as prosecuting attorney, with bis
family he removed to Ness county, locat-
ing at Ness City and entering upon the
practice of law. His stay in Ness county
was brief, but while here he formed
| friendships that have been enduring, and
he always seems to have a warm place in
his affections for all Ness county people.
In the fall of 1879 he located at Wa
Keeney, which place has remained his
home to the present time. In 1880 he was
elected county attorney of Trego county,
in which position he served two years. In
1884 he was elected to represent his
county in the State Legislature, serving
through the regular session of 1885 and
the special session of 1856. During the
latter session the Twenty-third judicial
district was created, to the judgeship of
which he was appointed by Gov. John A.
Martin. In the fall of the same year he
was elected to succeed himself for the
full term, and in 1850 was re- elected. and
is now serving his second term by the will
of the people expressed at the ballot box.
Judge Osborn is genial, jovial COM
panion, one of the best story tellers in
the state, and is a man who always re-
members friends. These characteristics
have tended largely to give him his en-
viable popularity, and have come il ex-
cellent play in his public and political
life, which has been remarkably success
full. although his road was at times rough
and rocky"
