Thc selections by the orchestra were
we'll received, the Mexican MaZurka being

tcttc sang two selections, and being hear
tily cncnrcd, each time responded with
two other selections.
The Y. NJ. c. \. male quartctte made its
first public appearance i'll this program.
The boys were Il little nervous, as might
be expected, but did spiandidly neverthe-
less. The audience gave them hearty APP
plauses and required another number,
which was also we'll rendered.
The selection by Miss Rcrta Richardson
was heartily approved.
The solos, prepared with orchestra ac-
compartment and sung by Mcssrs. a. w.
Smith, $. a. kincaid and Talbot Simpson
pleased the audience very much.
The string quintoLtr, Mcssrs. Burden,
Xcilcr, TIT, Kriehn and XciIcr, accompan-
led by Miss Birdie Wallace at the piano,
performed beautifully.
Madame EIitz was on the programme
for one selection, but thcaudicnce prremp-

John Price, who had been drawn, was
reported sick in bed, and Mr.. Mccormick
was put in his stead.
Mr.. Elliott was made foreman
Judge Ryiand, in his charge, took occa-
sion to say that never in the history OF
Lafayette county had there been greater
demand on the part of the officers for the
enforcement of the law and the punish
ment of crime. lie spoke at length upon
the fact that during the past eighteen
months the county had been disgraced
twice by the violent usurpation OF au-
thority by mobs, and he could find no
law to justify their action. "rhere is no
provision for outlawry," said he, "and
| the men guilty OF mob violence should be
punished"
The charge was little out OF the usual in
similar cases. The judge called particular
attention to the statute concerning col
lection of the revenue, the liquor and
Sunday laws. He said no man had right
to sell liquor; he could, by obcying and
observing certain forms of law, obtain d
license which extended privilege, but nc
license gave him privilege to sell on Sun
day, To minors or to habitual drunkard.
John NJ. Price was sworn as a hailiff ant
sent to obey the summons of the granC
jury.

Farmers Making a Mistake.

1t would seem that a glance at the re-
ports of the Wichita markets was only
necessary to convince anyone that the
farmers OF south Kansas are doing an
unwise thing. Large numbers of half
grown hogs, mere pigs are being
thrown on the market at prices ranging
from 8 to SO per hundred. with first
class hogs bringing from s. to $50. or
almost double the price. This is a
penny wise and pound foolish Eusi-
ness that no farmer can possibly afford.
Hogs are hogs now. They are on the
rise. The conditions of the worlds
markets warrant the assertion that for
a year or two, or possibly three, the
raising of hogs will be profitable. One
of the oldest and most experienced buy
ers in the west says that hogs will not
hold the present price for eighteen
months or two years. but that they will
advance in price, even should France
and Germany both fail to open their
markets to American meats. The sell
ing Of stOckers and half-developed pigs
therefore is simply throwing good and
sure money away. Even il stock hogs
brouoht in the markets the same price
per pound it would be mistake to sell
them. To increase the number OF his
pigs should now be the aim OF every
hog grower at least for year or two or
until the demand fails and prices COM
meuce to recede. What is true of the
Wichita markets is true of Chicago.
Kansas City and st. Louis. The half
grown pig commands no adequate
price. while the developed porker
brings big money.
Southern Kansas is the best hog
country in the world. The texture of
the meat is superior and the Kansas
pig is worth more in even Kansas City
than the Missouri product. Immunity
from disease. because OF altitude and
rare dry atmosphere and the superior
excellence of southern Kansas corn pro-
duces superior hogs, and now that there
is to te a profit in their production
every farmer who is IN the business
should hold on to his stockers, increase
the number of his pigs and sell only the
fully developed and highest priced
animal.-Wichita Eagle.
