why the Price Of Soup Wa. Raised.

Why the Price of Soup Was Raised.
The price has been advanced five cents
a plate for soup orders at Young's hotel
because we would like to freeze out
those who are known as the 'soup
fiends." They order a plate of soup, and,
not content with the allowance of bread
and butter usually accompanying such
an order, ask for more. Sometimes this
order is repeated twice and three times.
so that when we come to reckon up the
profits of the day we find that we are not
infrequently out from ten to fifteen cents
on soup orders. This is the reason we
have raised the price of soup from fifteen
to twenty cents per plate. The same
difficulty has prevailed in other hotels.
and I am pleased to learn that the pro-
prietors. like ourselves, have made a
notable advance in the price. 1t is the
only way to hope for anything like a
profitable business with these people

Good Corn to Raise.

A Kansas paper says the entire supply
of Jerusalem corn came from two ker-
nels. These produced the seed from
which five bushels were raised the fol-
lowing season, and the next crop amount
ed to 500 bushels.
The plant grows to the height of about
three feet and resembles broom corn OF
sorghum. The grain is white and an
swers every purpose which is served by
Indian corn. 1t makes sweeter and bet
ter bread, and is delicious when boiled
after the manner of oatmeal. In wet
weather it runs to stalks and grows six
feet high, without any grain to speak of.
1t produces best when the season is
dry. and after the plant gets start it is
said to be absolutely impervious to the
influence of drought and hot winds.
The farmers of western Kansas are pre-
pairing to engage in its culture next sea-
son to Il large extent.

In this little discussion over the adj
visibility of South Dakota being rep
resented at the Sioux City Corn Palace
IHE REPUBLICAN does not agree that
such an exhibit can in any way inter-
iere with our own State Fair which will
occur a week previous to the Iowa
event. The REPUBLICAN represents
q county which has never failed to make
an exhibit at past state fairs-which is
more, perhaps, than can be said OF some
the localities whose papers just now
are exhibiting such wonderful zeal in
Dehalf OF the home exhibit as against
the Corn Palace enterprise-and it does
not care to be put in wrong light. BY
t'le way, some of the arguments put
1orth by the Yankton Press will apply
with equal force to Worlds Fair ex-
lolt, and yet the Press certainly favors
the latter.

Never Get Ratified.

A man was driving four horses 10 .
large wagon when one of them, Texas
pony, began to fret. Instead of coaxing
him up little he began to slash him
numerically, at which the little fellow
hit back with his heels.
The more the man lashed the harder
the pony kicked, and finally his legs be-
came tangled in the harness and he
quietly sat down on the tongue to await
developments, while two street car driv-
ers behind the wagon were blowing their
whistles for it to get out of the way.
Instead of freeing the horse the man
continued to lash him, causing him to be
further entangled and to lie down un-
der the other horse, the two being an al
most inextricable mass.
Some of the passengers on the street
ears were swearing in seven different
languages, while the two drivers were
watching a fallen horse and a crowd of
bystanders were betting he'd kick hole
in the sky before he went to work again.
1t took ten minutes to get that horse
untangled and five minutes more to har-
nes him up again, and then it took the
street car drivers five minutes to get
their mules walked up.
Twenty minutes lost, and no telling
how many men waiting for the street
cars lost their religion, all on account of
the driver of one wagon getting ratified
at the antics of Texas pony.
A good motto to paste in your hat is,
"Keep cool. nv son. and never LET yonr-
self get ratified. Atlanta Journal.

A Weira Phenomenon.

Capt. Carrie, of the British ship Way
farer, which arrived in Oakland, Cal, a
few days ago, 154 days from Antwerp,
reports weird phenomenon on the night
of Nov. 12. The Wayfarer was then in
latitude So deg. 80 min. south, longi-
tude 65 deg. 90 min. west. 1t had
been blowing several days, but with
.uightfall the air became perfectly calm
and the sea as smooth as glass. Over
head the sky was as black as ink from
the dense masses Of heavy clouds, and
with the barometer at $3.50 rain storm
was looked for. The expected down
pour did not occur, but instead the sea
glowed with phosphorescence beyond
anything the Oldest mariner had ever
seen.
The sh1p's surroundings were lit up so
that it was possible to read on deck.
Nobody cared much for reading, how
ever; the contrast between the light
from the sea and the inky clouds was so
grewsome that all hands could not help
feeling that some unnatural catastrophe
was about to occur. The crew were
much relieved when breeze dissipated
the clouds, and the phosphorescence dis
appeared at the same time.-San Fran

GOSSIP ABOUT Mr.. BLAINE

Of the Reciprocity
Conference Politicians Say that he Has

WASHINGTON. Oct. 8.-The action OF
President Harrison in suggesting to
the governor-general Of Canada that
the conference on the subject OF trade
relations OF the United States and Can
ada, which was SGT for October II, be
postponed, owing TO Mr.. Blaine's Ill
health, has aroused much comment In
Washington. This is the second post
ponement OF the conference, the first
having followed the arrival Of the Can
adian commissioners to Washington.
Mr.. Blaine's i'll health was one OF the
reasons given for the first postpone.
ment also, and the opponents OF his
nomination to the presidency now de-
clare that he will never be able to meet
the Canadian representatives or to re-
turn to Washington. Blaines friends,
however. insist that he Is not too Ill to
discuss reciprocity or to attend to other
public duties. but that he does not wish
to come back to Washington until after
the regular frosts have set In and dissl'
pated all danger OF malaria, so preva'
lent here at this time OF the year.
But whatever Is the real condition oil
Mr.. Biaine's health, this second post
ponement OF the Canadian conference
has given rise to all sorts OF rumors oil
q political nature. The State Depart
ment officials profess TO see no particu-
lar significance in the Presidents &C
ton but the politicians outside the de-
partment are not SO willing 10 believe
that Mr.. Blaine's illness is the sole
reason for deferring the meeting with
the Canadlons. It Is said that the Sec
rotary has decided that he will have nc
conference whatever while the present
Canadian Ministry is in power, and that
the suggestion for postponement real
ly means that all negotiations are of
SO far as the Harrison administration
and the existing Canadian Administra'
ton are concerned. Mr.. Blaine, II Is
said, has often expressed the belief
that the Dominion Government were
not sincere last spring in their profess
ed desire to study the question OF COM

countries with q view to reaching bas'

fetal action, and that the partial discus
sion OF the subject which did take place
was used in an unfair smanner by the
Conservatives in the recent Canadian
elections. In word, 1t is said that Mr..
Blaine regards the present ministry
with grave suspicion, and that he
means to let them severely alone.
