WASHINGTON, Jan. General Ben
iamin +. Butler, lawyer, statesman.
politician and millionaire manufacturer,
died at his Washington residence, 800
New Jersey avenue Southeast, at half
past | this Wednesday, morning. The
general has been in this city much of
his time this winter watching a case in
which he is interested in the Supreme
court. Every Monday he was familiar
figure at.the sessions of that body, when
the decisions were handed down, His
age as well as the general impairment
of his health, while listening to oral de.
cislons looking for his own, was mat
ter OF comment time and again. Fin
ally a few weeks ago the case was de-
olded against him. Whether or not the
loss of this case, to which lie had paid
such close attention, brought anything
more than the casual effects Of defeat
will never be known.
Shortly after | o'clock this morning
the general was attacked with fit of
coughing, which awakened the man

Joining room. He at once hastened to
the generals bedside and asked him
what was the matter. The general.
meanwhile had gone to the bathroom
adjoining, whittier the valet FASTENED
and offered assistance The general
mentioned that his expectoration was
discolored with blood He did not APP
pear to think seriously OF the matter,
however, and after the valet assisted
him to bed he said: That's all, West,

apparently went to sleep. He lay on
the bed but few moments, however,
when his heavy breathing again aroused
alarm, Mr.. Janier Dunn, his nephew by
marriage, who resided in the same house,
started out in search OF medical assist

he could secure aid, and then when he
returned with DR.. Luce, the assistant
of DIR. Bayne, the family physician, it
was seen that the general was already
in extremis. The doctor so informed
his two nieces, Miss Stevens and Mrs.
Dunn, who were at his bedside, and
death ensued almost immediately.

The "American Sunday of To- Day.
lChicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune
A clerical speaker, who defended the
Sunday closing Of the fair in his remarks
before a Chicago club the other night,
said cas- the situation now stands Sun
day does not exist for the purpose Of the
work-a-daY week" That is the fact,
and Sunday should not be annexed to
the "work -a.day" week. Nor will it be
if the fair is opened Sunday in the rest
ful manner and for the recreative par-
pose desired by the directors, The
reverend speaker might have added
further that there was time when what
he calls the american Sunday" was a
dies non, not merely for labor but for
everything which sayore6 Of recreation
for wearied bodies or tired minds. The
day was supposed to be devoted ex-
clusively to religion The reading Of
secular literature was an abomination
stroll through woods or fields a des-
ecration, The way in which Sunday is
kept now by most American ministers
would have shocked and Disguised by
its laxity the ministers of a hundred
years ago.
During the last century he American
Sunday gradually but steadily has
changed, SO that without becoming a
day of work or ceasing to be a day Of
religion, it has become more and more a
day of rest apd recreation, wherein men
heye forgotten the tolls of the week that
was past and prepared themselves for
those of the week that was coming. The
children have gained by the change as
well as the grown people. Sunday is
no longer a day the coming Of which
they dread.
1t is because the American Sunday
has changed thus and become a day of
recreation, as well as Of religion, especi-
ally in cities, where tie labor of the
week is most intense, that the world s
fair should be kept open during Sun
day in the quiet and restful manner de-
sired by the directors. The people are
entitled to it, because such an opening
Is in accordance with the idea of an
American Sunday entertained now by
the majority of the people of Illinois
and of those of nearly every American
state, if not all Of them. The American
Sunday OF To-day implies restfuI, open
fair, and no minority has a right to i'm
pose its narrower ideal Of that day on
others who have a broader one.
These ministers are hopelessly in the
wrong. What they call the american
Sunday" has ceased to be, and another
aud better one has taken it's place, so
far as the vast majority of the people
are concerned. Half century hence
Chicago ministers will look on the con
duet of the ministers of o.day as the
latter look now on the regid Sunday
observance of the last century.

eight inches deep, and should not be done

make uniform growth, head out even,
and all will be ready to cut at the same
time. 1t is planted in rows three feet or
three feet four inches apart. The planting
is done by an ordinary two-horse corn
planter with drill attachment. The holes
in the drilling plates should be so arranged
that two to three grains Of seed will be
dropped six to seven inches apart. At

Our Public Schools.

Next week new contracts will be made
with teachers for our high schools dur
ing the ensuing year. We hope and
trust Prof. Webb and the faithful corps
of assistants will be retained, as this is
now recognized as one of the very best
public schools in Kansas. In fact, q GER
tificate of graduation from the Dodge
City school authorities is now recoguiz-
ed by official colleges as equivalent to
two years in a collegiate course. The
editor of this paper. having houses to
rent, has met most of the men who took
up dwellings for their families, and has
taken pains to find out why they moved
into Dodge City during the time Prof.
Webb has been in charge of the schools.
We think it is low estimate to say there
are 100 families now living in Dodge City
who would not be here but for the pre-
eminence of our system Of public schools
over all others in the western half of
Kansas. Not only Prof. Webb, but the
faithful men who have been serving on
our school board during the past few
years, are entitled to credit for this
which ranks next to the Santa Fe shops
in sustaining our city during dull times.
We cannot afford to risk any change un-
til there is a new boom comes along to
help us out.

very slow and tedious to harvest, and will

the stand is too thick, it is equally dis
astrous. because if spell Of dry weather
sets in about the time it is ready to head

get ahead of the weeds. If the ground is
warm when it is planted the seed sprouts
at once, and it will be up in about eight
to ten days. AS the broom corn plant is
very tender and grows slowly at first, it
is absolutely necessary that the ground be
kept clean from weeds. and as soon as the
rows can be seen shallow cultivating should
be commenced and kept up until the plant
is over two feet high. If this is persisted
in intelligently no hoeing is needed. The
is done by two horse cultivators
as with maze.
After the plaut attains height Of from
two and one-half to three feet, and where
the ground is kept mellow on top by
thorough cultivation, it commences to
grow vely fast, and Is generally ready to
harvest in inety days from the time it
was planted.
There are two varieties of broom corn
standard When planted on rich,
suitable soil often attains height of
fifteen feet. This variety is used for
large brooms only, and is the most ex-
tensively raised. The Smoky valley in
Kansas, has for years been recognized as
the locally where the best quality Of stan-
dare bush is produced. especially that class
which is running to hurl. This industry
is here carried on almost exclusively by
Swedes. The dwarf variety grows three
to four feet high, with short, fine tibered
bush which is used mostly for whisks.
1t is raised in western Kansas. The
Arkansas valley with its sandy soil seems
to be we'll adapted to the production Of
his dwarf class of broom corn.

FRIDAY, JUNE 9. 1898.
The Rain Makers.

Owing to the efforts of Mayor Gluck,
the Rock Island rainmakers were order
ed.to Dodge City, from Meade. where
they had been operating. They arrived
On Tuesday evening of this week in their
operating car and at once commenced
manufacturing gas and sending it up
through the car roof. The U. S. sigma
officer was interviewed by GLOBE Re-
PUBLICAN scribe, and said the conditions
were such as to give the rainmakers a
chance to work on their own merits, as
the natural conditions did not in the
least favor rain. The evening was clear
aud comparatively cool. with but little
humidity in the air. A light wind was
blowing from the south, which increased
by morning to gale. On Wednesday
the scribe secured admission to the car
where the wizards were at work trying
to tempt nature to yield up the treasures
of the air. They did not wear bald
heads, long boards nor forms bowed
down by years of accumulated wisdom,
but were couple of hale and hearty
young men. Their manners were frank
and unreserved. The car in which they
came had one end partitiOned off for a
bed and the other end used as labra-
tory. 1t was a common freight box car.
There was no air of mystery or compli-
Gated contrivances calculated to mystify
the people. Three earthenware churn
jars contained the chemicals, In which
the gas was being generated and carried
by tin and copper pipes up through the
roof of the car. The jars were quite hot
enough to burn the hand, from action of
chemicals inside. The gas gave the car
a certain perfume which hurt the throat,
and both operators were hoarse from
breathing what little escaped from the
caldrons of Kissing chemicals. We have
no space this week to give full report,
but will do so next week. as their time
is only half up now, and a high wind has
been blowing ever since the first morn
ing after they commenced. The high
wind has scattered the gas and only
slight sprinkle had been produced Thurs
day night, though they claim to be re-
sponsible for hard rain which fell in
Meade Thursday at 5 p. m. Their five
days at Meade only gave half an inchl or
less of rain, but sprinkled some every
day. On last Friday morning, at Z
O'Clock, Mr.. Jewell wired Mr.. Allen, of
Chicago, that the wind was blowing too
hard for rain that day, but if it contin-
ned the same way until next day, there
should be rain in the vicinity of Salina
next day. At time of this message it
was perfectly clear in that part of the
state, but Saturday evening heavy rain
fell there sure enough.
Mr.. Jewell says to days condi-
lions are favorable for the production of
rain, and predicts shower tonight.
HE engagement at this place terminate
next Sunday at p. M, and he express-s
es with much confidence his ability to
produce precipitation before that time.
