Will it be Law?

The Iedistucting of the Senate anal
Assembly has been forced through the
legislature just as the faithful Anderson
chose to make them, but they dc not
comply with the provisions of the con-
stilution. The amendmert to article
Nv rs adopted at the General Election
in November 1881, says of the members
OF the Assembly explicitly in Sec
4 '.such districts to be bounded By
county, precinct, town or ward lines, to
consist of contiguous territory and 10
be in AZ compact form as practicable. =
Section says: THE Senators shall be
elected by single districts of convenient
contiguous territory.
Has tie legislature a right to make
laws contrary to the Constitution? If
so, then why the constitution? If not.
why give support to a body that does
not represent the people. II is a lesson
the voters of Wisconsin viii do well to
remember for many a long day.

100 Doses One Dollar
Great Guns.
HGrper'S WeekLy.

The forging of the immense guns is
most interesting process. The rifle
guns of the present are made by re-
enforcing the tube with rings and
repeated layers of steel called jackets,
which are fitted one over the other over
the original tube or barrel of the gun.
The jackets or hoops must fit as closely
TO the guns as if forming an interga
part of its composition. The only wa
to get them on it. of course, by heating,
ana thus charging them. When they
cool, they hit snugly. 1t is evident that
the exact size of the jacket and ring
when heated so that it can be put in its
place must be a matter of the incest
mathematical calculation. The coarse
powder now used make such havoc
with the rifling of the largest guns that
one hundred charges. are about all that
can be expected from them. The jackets
and rings can then be removed, and
fitted to another tube.
The various parts of gun are not
put together at Bethlehem, but are sent
to Washington. to department of the
arsenal called the mbly-room where
the tube is rihed, and the gun is finally
completed. A steel gun of the largest
caliber cost about 100000 The ordt-
nance of our modern navy is therefore
one of the most costly items for which
congress is expected to display pa
triotic generosity.

Bird Seed.

Whoever buys bird seed at retail pays
a huge profit to the dealer. even when
weighed out of seeds in bulk; to use the
pound paste-board boxes is still more
costly These are often adulterateG
with millet. which no bird eats unless
forced by hunger; well fed birds waste
it so much the package might as weN
be weighted with sand | sowed some
German rape from one of these mixtures
When it grew it was wild mustard or
charlock, Snaps arvensis. But it is
good bird seed all the same, and it may
be gathered in quantity from the fields
in many places. Pull the plants and
hang them in lunches till dry, then the
seed can be cleaned very easily. Tur-
nips set out in spring will yield bird
seed, and mustard seed may be fed to !
some extent. Canary grass sown in
garden drills foot apart, and kept
hoed, will yield a long succession of
heads, first from the top of the sten
then from the lower points. Cut, not
pull, them as they ripen. dry and rub
them out, winnow in large pan. Hemp
is easily grown in the garden or any
out of the way corner. Some hemp
plants are males, pull them up mostly
as soon as you can tell them-their
flowers swing by fine threads, the fe-
males are in thick, erect spikes. One
male plant is enough to keep. Turkeys
will break down hemp sometimes, and
hens will eat up canary grass if they

Free Sugar Beet Seed, and Free
Analyses of Sugar Beets.

AOhitULIL hAL EAfthlMENT CITATION,
MADISON, VII April Is. 1891.
The subject of sugar beet culture is a
very important one at this time. If
Wisconsin can produce her own sugar
profitably. it should be done. Only
when we have learned what il costs TO
grow crop of beets, the number of
tons that can be produced per acre. the
percentage of sugar contained in the
Juice and its purity, can we inteligently
discuss the question of protiiably pro.
duciug sugar from the beet. To help
ON this work we have procured con-
siderable quantity of sugar beet seed
from Germany, and SO long rs the
supply lasts will send it in one pound
packages TO all farmers in the state who
send us their names with post office
address, enclosing eight cents in stamps
TO pay return postage. Directions for
planting, cultivating, etc, will be sent
with the seed. Samples of the beeis
may be sent 70 this Station next fall,
when they viii be analysed free OF
charge Farmers are urged to form
societies for the purpose of cooperation
and making greater advancement in
studying the subject w, A.HENRl,

A NOVEL way of saving small change
is having a great run in Milwaukee.
The banks furnish dealers with gummed
stamps bearing face value of 5 cents
that can be bought one at time as
wanted, and are then pasted in books
furnished, each page having space for
20 stamps When a page is full the
dealer tears it out and forwards with
the name Of the owner to the bank,
who sends in return regular deposit
book with a credit of S1.00. When
the amount deposited reaches s. 90 the
bank pays interest at rate of per cent
per annum. Nothing could be better
for people of small means where a
nickel or dime is the limit of spare
funds, and TIE scheme might be adyan-
tagaously followed all over the state.

Beware of Ointments for
Catarrh that contain
Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pres
criptions from reputable physicians, as
the damage they will do is ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured BY f. j. Cheney & Co, Toledo,
o., contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, and acts directly upon the
and mucous surfaces OF the system. In
buying Halls Catarrh Cure be sure you
get the genuine. 1t is taken internally,

GROWING IN PUBLIC FAVOR.
Next Sheriff. Anlt Making Votes by Hundreds
in Wichita

Ike Ault, candidate for sheriff, put in
yesterday interviewing the voters of Wich-
ita and from the smile he wore on his face
one could not fail to see that he had been
given great encouragement in his rounds.
Mr.. Ault seems to be getting stronger
and stronger every day with the voters of
Wichita and from present appearances he
will more than distance his competitors
in the race. Ike is one of those men who
grows popular as he becomes known and
scores of men who were Indifferent about
his election when he was first nominated
are now his strongest supporters and are
working like beavers for MS election. The
men who were betting a week ago that he
wouldn't carry the city are nowhere to be
found now, and it is matter of some diff
fculty to find a tsker for bet that he will
carry the city by Goo majority. Old time
politicians cannot remember any candi-
date who has grown more rapidly in pub
lie favor than he has, and it is the general
opinion of the shrewd ones that he will
have the biggest plurality of any man on
the ticket His plain, honest, clean and
good natured method of campaigning is
making him more votes than if he was an
artful wire puller He feels confident that
his election is safe but he is still working
hard because as he says he thinks it his
duty to the Republican party to do so.

A TRoUNCING PREVENTED.

| There was blood on the face of the moon
! last night, or at least prominent Young
man OF this city thought there was. He
was quietly vending his way up Market
street when he came in contact with an
other man who halted him and startled
him with proposition to break his head
in two minutes unless he would sign a
statement that he was liar and scoun-
dreL The young man told the other man
that he was crazy, but that did not satisfy
him by any means and would attempt to
carry his threat into effect when third
party, mutual friend, arrived upon the
scene and acted the part of peace maker.
Explanations followed which sat
istied the irate citizen that he
was barking up the wrong tree
and after suitable apology he left
the young man with his head intact rest
ing upon his shoulders. The trouble was
caused by an article in recent issue of an
alleged Kansas City paper wherein a
friend of the irate individual referred to
was placed in an unfortunate position be-
fore the public. be thought the young
man was a correspondent, and without
ascertaining it to be a fact, he tackled
him and would undoubtedly have done
him considerable bodily harm if the
mutual friend had not appeared and
brought both gentlemen TO an understan-
ing. 1t is generally agreed that blood will
yet be split over this character of cor
respondence, and in fact, it Is stated
openly that one party has said that he will
shoot the correspondent on sight when
ever he ascertsios his identity. Some
fears are entertained that an innocent
party will suffer

DELIGHTED WITH KANSAS,

Mr.. G. Sibly of Rochester, n. Y, was in
the city yesterday with Danford Newton
of Union township with whom he is visit
ing. Mr.. Sibly is one of the solid farmers
of the empire state and this is his first visit
to Kansas. To say he is delighted with
Sedgwick county would not be properly
guaging his feelings. He thinks it is the
most magnificent section of agricultural
land he has ever seen and is astonished at
the remarkable prosperity of the farmers
considering the opportunities they have
had He will return to New York full of
enthusiasm over what he has seen, and
will never again believe the stories Jerry
Simpson aud Senator PETER have told
there concerning the people of this state
and their condition.
