SWamping the Mails.

The following Topeka special to the
Kansas City Times of October 1S shows
how hard sour friends the enemy"
are working:
"The postoflce at Topeka iB crowded
with business as 1t has never been before,
and it's employees have just cause for COM
plaint The republican state central
committee is responsible for 1t all. 1t is
now sending out daily twenty large mail
bags filed with campaign literature.
Each bag contains about 800 pieces, max
ing an average daily total Of 10000
pieces This is exclusive Of the large
letter mail that the committee Is send
ing out daily. Even the postal clerks on
mail trains are unable to handle the vast
amount Of printed matter that is sent
through the Topeka Office, and they are
frequently compelled to carry large bags
through to the end of their route and
distribute their contents on the return
trip. The postmaster has complained to
the committee, and asked for let up, to
give the postal employees a chance to
catch up. But the national committee
continues to express ton after ton to the
state committee, which In turn feels In
duty bound to distribute 1t among the
doubtful voters Of Kansas"

Kansas City Mail,

Kansas City Mail,
Il looks as though the entire force OF
the Kansas camDalgn would be thrown
into the Seventh congressional district.
The republicans have determined that
Jerry Simpson must be beaten II money
can accomplish 1t. He is held by them
a. the embodiment of the republican mis-
haps In the state. He has caused them
more trouble than any other representa-
tive Of his party. His rapid develop
ment from q common, plain man, picked
from the humble walks of life, to q
statesman of power and influence, Is q
menace to corporate encroachments, and
no man Is 80 feared as he. The railroads
In particular fear Jerry. These and the
bankers and other corporate influences
will be concentrated ON the one object
to carry the Seventh district for the re-
publican candidate. 1t ls limited that, If
necessary, every man on the republican
state ticket will be sacrificed to compass
Mr.. Simpsons defeat. Nor Ia the deter
minatlon to make an example OF the
worst foe in the state to aggregated capi
tai confined to the state. As In the case
when every power Of the national ad-
ministratiOn was brought to bear in
favor Of Mckinley In Ohio as an endorse
ment of protection, so it is to be Welded
in the Seventh Kansas district to make
the most distinguished opponent Of mo-
nopoly odlous through defeat. 1t is said
that secret poll Is being made Of the
district and the name of every susoepti-
bic voter is being forwarded, and that
money will be raised unstintlngly. Every
railroad man of influence will be used If
possible, and In fact no stone will be left
unturned to show the world that Kansas
repudistes the doctrines exempllfed in
Jerry Simpson.
Fort nately, Mr.. Simpson Is onto the
scheme, and is accredited with sufficient
political ssgacity to clrcumvent the sinls-
ter plans of the corporations. The very
fact that corporations have made COM
mon cause with the state and national
committee against Mr.. Simpson will
cause rally Of the people to his support.
The assertion that he is to stand for
the senate lS Of course sprung to create
a lukeWarmness among other Peoples
party and fusion democrat aspirants for
that position, but that portion of the
program will fail as will the other deep
laid plots against the homespun states

CAPITAL PUNISHM ENT.

Turning to foreign countries, state
ments seem to prove that the abolition
or practical disuse of capital punish
ment has decreased the number of
murders. The following table was
printed by the New York San two
years ago
Belgium-No executions since 1868.
Number of murders ten years before,
921; ten years after, 7o5,
Finland-No executions since 1924.
Murders extremely rare.
Holland-Capltal punishment abol-
lished 1870, with decrease in murders,
despite increase of population.
Swilzerland-Abolished 1874. Since
reinstated by two or three cantous.
Prussia-From 1879 IS out of 4S4
condemned to death, only one execu-
ton (HoteD.
Portugal-Capital punishment abol-
ished,
Roumania-Abolished.
Tuscany-No executions for fifty
years.
Russia-Capltal punishment retained
only for treason and military insubor-
dination.
In these countues the death penalty
is in use so rarely that 1t may almost be
said to be discontinued.
Austria-From 1870 10 Of 500 death
sentences, 10 executions.
Norway-From 1869 IS of IA sem
tenCes, 5 executions.
Sweden-From 1869 rs OF 80 sca-
tences, 5 executions.

VENOM OF A TOAD.

A correspondent of the London
LaRcet maintains the scientific cor
rectness of Shakespeare's assertion
that the toad "sweats venom" He
says that this venom is of tolerdbly
po yerful nature, and that instead of
being secreted by the salivary glands
as in snakes, it is actually secreted by
the skin, so that the word sweated is
is most accurately descriptive,
This secretion, DR.. Guthrie states.
also accurs in the toad through the
parotid glands, the venom being a
think, milky fluid, like the juice OF
dandelion stalks IN taste and appear
ance. When injected under the skin
it kills small birds in six minutes,
and dogs and guinea pigs in half an
hour to one hour and a half. The
symptoms in birds are loss OF CO ordi-
nation, followed by death; in guinea
pigs convulsions, and in the dog
depression, vomiting and intoxica
ton.
DR.. Gutherie kept a small toad in
a cage with some lizards and one of
them, having bitten the toad,
became convulsed and died in less
tFan two minutes. His dog, having
seized a toad, attacked by instantan
eous and Drofuse salvation, violent
vomiting, and collapse. He states
also that his hand was poisoned
from handling a toad.

religion. There can be no happiness
IN family where religious wife or
husband has to associate with an irreli-
gious wife or husband.
Every young man should study the
woman he is to marry with great care
He should study himself to know the
the traits to match his wife. Never
marry woman for PERSONAL beauty
alone. Her beauty Will fade after
awhile and yor will cease to love her.
Beauty OF soul Is the thing to love.
TnI will survive the failure Of personal
beauty and life on until death. Do
not marry fretful woman. Her fret
fulness and previshness before marriage
will turn into quarelsome and stormy
lnvectives after marriage.
Never marry fashionable woman.
Instead of her home she will be ever
thinking Of fashionable society and OF
preparing for its enjoyment. She will
burden you continually with expenses
for her wardrobe, carriages and extra
servants, and leave you always in your
home desolated. O. the other hand,
select woman who is good house
keeper. Your home ought to be the
most blessed and delightful place dur
ing life, and if she does not know how
TO make i. such she is not fit to be your
wife"

ALL OWNED BY A WOMAN.
Mrs. Kings Big Cattle Ranch in Texas
and How 1t Is Run.

The largest ranch in the United
States, and probably in the world, owned
by one person is in Texas and belongs
to Mrs. Richard King. 1t hes forty
five miles south OF Corpus Christi.
The ladies who come to call on Mrs.
King drive from the front gate, over as
good a road as any in Central Park,
for miles before they arrive at her front
door, and the butcher and baker
and iceman, if such existed, would
have to drive thirty miles from the
back gate before they reached her kltch-
en-. This ranch is bounded by the Corpus
Christi Bay for forty miles, and by
barb wire for 800 miles more. 1t
covers 700, 900 acres IN extent, and
100 600 head of cattle and 5000 brood
mares wander over its different pas
lures. This property is under the rul-
ing of Robert J. Kleberg, Mrs. Kings
son-in law, and he has under him a
superintendent, or as the Mexicans
call one who holds that office, major
dome which is an unusual position for
major dome, as this major dome has
the charge of 800 cowboys and 1000
ponies reserved for their use.
The thing that the wise man from
the East cannot at first understand is
how the 100, 900 head of cattle walder-
ing at large over the range are ever col.
lected together. He sees a dozen or
more steer here, a bunch of horses
there, and single steer or two mile
off and even as be looks at them they
disappear in the bush, and as far as his
chance OF finding them again would
be, they might as well stand forty
miles away at the other end OF the
ranch. But this Is a very simple prob
lem to the ranchman.
Mr.. Kleberg, for instance, receives
an order from firm IN Chicago call
ing for 1000 head of cattle. The
breed of cattle the firm wants Is grazing
in a corner of the range fenced in bY
barb wire and marked pale blue tor
convenience on a beautiful map,
blocked out in colors like a patch work
quilt, which hangs in Mr.. kleberg's
office. When the order is received he
sends a Mexican on pony to tell tins
men near that particular pale blue
| pasture to round up 1000 head o
/ ca.ue, and at the same time direct.
his superintendent to send in a few
days as many cowboys to that pasture
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1892-05-14

as are need to "hold" I 600 head of
cattle on the way to the railroad station.
The boys on the pasture, which we
will suppose Is ten miles square, will
take ten of their number and five extra
ponies apiece, which one man leads,
and from one 10 another of which they
shift their saddles as men do in polo.
and go directly to the water tanks in
the ten square miles OF land. A COW
will not often wander more than two
and half miles from water, and so,
with the water tank, which on the
King ranch may be either well with
wind mill or a damned canon full of
rain water, as rendezvous, the finding
OF the cattle is comparatively easy, and
ten men can round up 1000 head In a
day OF two. When they have them all
together the cowboys who are to drive
them to the station have arrived and
drive them off.

1t was halt past 10 Perfect silence
-reigned in the little bare church.
Some gray heads were bent forward,
as behtting the place, but lively eyes
glanced over the spectacles in eager
expectation. A few women shaded
their eyes with coarsencd hands in a
pretense of being atprayer, but even
there a profound alertness was WIS.,
ible. Then this happened; Milly
French rose and came forward to
the "mmunion table, upon which
stood , basket OF loVa!v ferns aud
late roses. She looked serious but
not at all frightened. She read a
Psalm in : clear voice, gave Out q
hymn, which was sung by three
elderly women in the front pew,
then she opened a book and read
Phillips Books sermon from the text
Comfort ye my people" 1t can
be imagined, perhaps, how these
sympathetic words chained the atten
ton and touched the heart of all
present. 1t was pretty sight and
never to be forgotten by those who
saw It.
At the close the Doxology was
given with will And thus, D. V,
the Plumville church was opened on
Sunday morning, Aug. IS and it has
never been closed since. That was
years ago, but Milly French still
reads a sermon there every Sunday
morning. She has educated that
people far beyond their means to
pay for. They invite no candidate
to their pulpit. They are familiar
with the great preachers of the
world. Some incline to Episcopacy
and do not see how you can get
around the laying on OF hands"
Some are Beecherites; others agree
with Claiming, Dean Stanley and
Canon Farrar have a following.
Robertson and Maurice are admired
and loved. No creed binds their
conscienceS, no formulated VOW res
trains them. They range over spirit
ual truths as presented by different
and differing minds. Earnest dis
cusson and Jealous argument show
on occasion unusual thoughtfulness
and cultivation.
Thanks to Milly French, Plum
vile, a bower of vine flowers, is one
of the prettiest of small villages ply
sically, while for intellectual and
spiritual training it is one of the
most advanced.

MAT RIMONIAL POINTERS,
DR.. Brooks Says Redheaiei Men should
Not Marry Auburn Haired Girls

Marriage was the theme upon which
Rev. DR.. John A. Brooks discoursed
at the Prospect Avenue Christian
church. His text was from Ephesians
xxi, 81, So: "Wives submit your
selves unto your own husbands as unto
the Lord, for the husband is the head
of the wife, even as Christ is the head
of the church. Nevertheless, let every
one of you in particular SO love his
wife even as himself and the wife see
that she reyerences her husband"
Courtship is the most serious time
Tor man or woman, said DR.. Brooks
"Many bad unions have resulted from
bad courtshlps. 1t is the time to be
earnest, honest and truthful, not a
tire Of smiling, signing, pleasing and
captivating. 1t Is the time to study
happiness, concord and congeniality.
Marriage is either a blessing or a
curse. Plutarch said, A mau must eat
bushel of salt before | can take him
for my friend How much more I'M
portant it is when he is to be taken for
life. There should be harmony in age
between the parties marrying \
young person should not marry an old
one. Tne one who will seek lite and
its active joys, the other rest. There
should be harmony in neatness and
cleanliness. A clean man will not feel
at home if he returns 10 a dirty house,
nor neat woman care to go out with
a husband slovenly and uncleanly.
There should be harmony also in phy-
sical temperament. Both should be
strong and vigorous, and ought to have
a temper as nearly equal as possible.
a redheaded man should never
marry redheaded woman if he wants
peace, in the family. There should be
harmony IN social position. A man
should never marry a woman whom he
would be ashamed to take to his
family and the society IN which he
moves. In intelligence there should
also be harmony. A man does no.
want to mlug wonln who cau-o,

Above all, there should be harmony III

A FARMERS PARADISE.

A leading railroad man in the North
west, who is noted for his luminous
and picturesque way of talking, is fond
OF calling the Red River farmers, "the
leisure class of the West" He says
"They only attend to their business for
a few weeks in the spring and fall, and
that they do sitting down, with splen-
did horses to drag the farming imple-
ments on which they ride around.
When the grain is rpe, they hire labor
ers to cut and harvest it, and then they
cash it for money, fill the banks of the
valley with money to the bursting point,
and settle down for a long loaf,
or 90 to Europe or New York"
Yet they must find continuance of
their strength and prosperity in dlversi-
fed farming and in hard work, and
this Is being taught to the rest by the
shrewder ones among them. Such
men are are making the breeding of
fine draught- horses a side reltlnce, and
very many farms now maintain from
1900 to 1000 Percheron, Norman and
Clydesdale horses, as we'll as pigs,
sheep and poultry. The ccrrtry is
too level for the profitable raising of
sheep. however. They need Uneven
land and variety of picking; more
over the soil clogs in their hoofs, and
subjects them to hoof rot, and other
diseases prey upon them there.
There are nearly 100000 acres in
the valley, and one. sixth of it is
under the plough. Oae hun
dred and fifty million bushels of wheat
could be raised there If everF acre was
sown with seed, but there is no. such
demand for wheat as that would require
to be profitable. As it is, less than a
quarter of the valley is cultivated, and
only three quarters OF that fraction
are given up TO wheat, SO that last
years yield was about 80 to 81 millions
of bushels. That would have brought
S27ooo,ooo had it been sold, but
while this is being written Gin the holl-
days of '91-2), great many farmers
are holding their grain IN the firm be-
lief that Russia's needs will determine
a rise Of 20 cents in the price. Those
who sold got 50 cents, those who are
holding back want a dollar a bushel.
