Beatty Organs and Pianos.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Wash
lngton, New Jersey, the great Organ
and Piano manufacturer. is building
and shipping more organs and pianos
than ever. In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left
home a penniless pillow boy, and by his
indomitable will he has worked his
way up so as to sell, SO far, nearly
100, 900 of Beatty's pianos and organs
since 1870. Nothing seems to dis
hearten him; obstacles laid in his way
that would have wrecked any ordinary
man forever, he turns to an advertise
ment and comes out of it brighter than
ever. His instruments, as is we'll
known, are very popular and are to be
found in all parts of the world. We
are informed that during the next ten
years he intends to sell 200, 600 more
of his make; that means business of
$40, 600, 900, if we average them at
500. 90 each. 1t is already the LARGEST
business of toe kind in existence. It
will pay you to write to Daniel F.
Beatty. Washington, New Jersey, for
catalogue.

STATE BOARD OF AeRIoULTURE,
The Farmers Great Annual Feast Is Now
Ready, Come, It Is Free.

The Annual Meeting of the State
Board of Agriculture convenes on We'd
nesday, January 10th, and continues
three days. Never before has the pro-
gram been SO rich in topics of vital
interest to farmers. The features of
special interest and value are contri-
button to be made by two distinguish
ed agricultural educators of the east.
Prof. Milton Whitney. of Johns Hop
kins University, has for years made a
speciality of the study of water circu-
lation in soils and has demonstrated
by actual experiments facts which are
of vital Importance to farmers. From
these facts we are taught the kind of
soil treatment necessary to the econ
omic use Of moisture for plantgrowth;
and also how to get from given
amount of rainfall the greatest posi-
BILE good. The knowledge to be thus
gained from Prof. Whitney alone will
amply repay any live progressive farm
or or fruit grower in Kansas for a trip
to Topeka.
Col. Daniel Needham of Boston. is
on the program for the Relation of
Western Agriculture TO the East.
He has been president of the New
England Agricultural Society for "a
years and during that time and longer
9 close and interested student Of the
agriculture of our country, as we'll az
Of European countries.
The possibilities of irrigation in
Kansas is most vital question jus!
now and this subject IN its various
bearings will be thoroughly and ably
presented by men who know what
they are talking about.
The Agricultural College has a
strong representation On the program
in President Geo. Z. Fairchild, Pro
fessors G. G. Georgeson and n. S
Mayo and Mrs. Nellie Kedzie. The
University also in Chancellor +. H
Snow and Mcpherson College in Prest
s. Y. Sharp. In other respects the
program is up to that of any previous
meeting, in character and ability.
All railroads have granted rate Of
one and one third fare for the round
trip from all points in Kansas. AL
tickets are sold on the certificate
plan.
Here is an opportunity for an cup
lifting in agriculture which will moi
occur again in a whole year.
Come to the feast prepared fol
you.

ELLA M. DAY, Secretary.

The county commissioners will meet
in regular quarterly session next Mon
day, the 1st of January. The old
board will remain in session until the
business of the year is settled up
when Commissioner Joe Strothman
will retire, and Commissioners elect,
G. ID. Montgomery will assume his du-
ties. The yearly squabble over the
county printing will come up at this
meeting, and it promises to be as inter.
esting as usual. with new features
brought in by the hungry republican
papers, the Register and Tribune.
What ever the commissioners do, we
hope they win consider the rights of
the people and not let the printing to
a paper which reaches only a few dozen
people 10 the county.

Be Careful, Neighbors. .

There are now several cases of scarlet
fever in the city, and it should be the
duty of every citizen to be most care
full about not exposing themselves or
their neighbors to contagion. This
dread disease is liable to prove very
dangerous at this time of year, and
every precaution should be taken to
prevent spreading of the disease. DIR
Shaw has had yellow signs SCARLET
FEVER printed to be put up on every
house where the disease has a start,
and every doctor should see that his
patrons afflicted also put up such 8
sign. Be careful of the children.

Kansas, The Tenth Muse.

Everything that comes to Kansas is
stamped by her, and the world RECON-
ICES the trade mark and will accept no
other. Everything Kansas touches is
either the best or it is the worst of it's
kind. Kansas makes everything that
comes to her, her own, and everything
that is her own she makes superlative.
The civilized world has used corn for
over three hundred years; yet there
never was a standard of excellence in
corn till there was Kansas corn; there
have been cyclones since the earth and
the sea parted company, yet until there
was a Kanses cyclone the end of cy-
clonic possibilities was not reached;
there have been ''boomers" since Solo.
MON laid out the grounds for the tenn
pie, yet every wise man knows that
the typical "boomer" is the Kansas
''boomer." The Kansas granger is
the ''grangerest" granger that ever
wore a whiskbroom beard since spears
were turned to pruning hooks. Kansas,
1t she were woman, would have hats,
face powders, underwear, tooth lotions,
corn salve and dress patterns chrisened
in her name. She would fill the women's
page with her toilets, the society page
with her doings and the telegraph page
with her freaky fancies. She would
be called "tacky," fast" ''horrid,' -
and perhaps simply awful" by the
other women. but she would always
have lovers by the score, and, more
than this, she would make those who
came to scott remain to work out their
fine and costs before they we're admit
ted into good society.
Kansas is a queer community; in the
typical Kansan is found the courage of
the Spartan, the audacity of the Roman,
the silence of the Teuton, the loquacity
of the chatting Gaul, the arrogance of
the Saxon and the wit of the Irishman.
No man enjoys joke better than the
Kansan. He meets insolence with a
guffaw and rapacity with a gun. And
then he takes both incidents to the pa
per-and pays up his subscription.
There are no prehistoric mounds in
Kansas; if there were, they would con-
tam full and complete accounts of the
migration that built them, together
with horrible details of the flood and
the outlines of a theory of increased
rainfall by means of tree culture. If
the Sni hills on the east and the Wichita
mountains on the south should sudden
y cover Kansas with lava, the man of
the thirtieth century delving in the dirt
over Shawnee county would find an
editorial, in double loaded type, explain
ing that all signs pointed ''to this rain
being blessing to the wheat" and
prophesying that with a wheat crop
assured and the prospect of the largest
acreage of corn ever planted in the
state. nothing could keen Kansas down"
This is the Kansas way; she accepts
the goods the gods provide, puts her
name on the bottle and retails them at
100 per cent profit. All hail Kansas,
the tenth muse, who twangs the Tyre of
advertising!-K. c. Star.
