THE MODERN uNDERTAKER.
The Object Of the Northwest Funeral

In speaking Of the sixth annual
convention of the Northwest Funer-
al Directors Association, which re-
Gently closed it, session in this
city, q leading undertaken said
that the object and aims Of this
body's annual sessions are 60 often
misrepresented, innocently by some
and maliciously by others, th.t

the many causes that induced the
undertakers to organize
'The days of the old coffin.seller

Of the organization are to dissent

Quoting funerals, dispelling the

friends of every care pertaining to
the preparation necessary for the
funeral. In fact, the undertakers'
association and these annual meet.

is slight tax on sheep, but as the
administration is disposed to re-
move the tax on wool, that will
neutralize the evil measurably.
You ask whether there is any law

Well, yes, after fashion. The
laws of gravity and survival
Of the fittest prevail out
here as, also, do Moses and
the prophets. There is the law of
self-defense and infant damnation,
besides the moral and statutory
codes, state militia and city police
force. The laws Of gravity are
sometimes suspended temporarily
but not 90 as to materially
Interrupt the sheep business. The
prevalence of law is not usually re-
garded as serious drawback to
the country; yet if you have be-

staple diet and we find it economi-

usually indulge in something more
substantial, such as maverick on

skunkberry Mary Ann cakes. Of
course, that kind Of fare comes
higher than the simple menu Of a
journalist. You desire to know
how much wool sheep will clip.
That depends. From the most
reliable information obtainable, we
are led to believe that big sheep
clips more wool than little one and
vice versa. The Indians bother a
kreat deal now. The stringency
has attacked them virulently and
they are not buying rot gut at four
dollars pint as largely as in for
mer days. Sheep herders inform

bothering in another direction.
He protests against riding in

1t is further asservated that
Indian girls have recently taken to
rejecting the hands of respectable,
Anglo-Saxon sheep-herders Of
Scotch descent. These things are

G. w. Teagarden, Goodland, Kan:
DEAR SIi-Replying to your favor of the

time ago endeaVoring to make arrange
ments to obtain seed W heat for western
counties. Your county was not included i'll
the list named, and am more than pleased
to know that you are able to pull through
without aid of this kind. l regret exceed
ingly thai it is necessary to again advertise
western Kansas as in need of such assist
ance. However, there can be no question
hut that certain counties, for example, Wal
lace. Logan, Greeley, Wichita, Scott and
Lane, will be in need of some help. Yours
very truly, L. D. LEwELLING, Governor.
We understand that wherever james b.
Weaver has addressed the people that the
scales have fallen from the eyes of the Old
party followers and that they now can see
clearly the error of their ways.

The Facts.

We give a supplement this week
giving the facts in the late unpleas-
antness and the action of the parti-
san supreme court. Every POpulist
should read and preserve it and see
that his Republican and Democratic
neighbors are made fully acquainted
with the facts. When the people un-
derstand the animus of all this fight
against the expressed will of a large
majority of the voters Of Kansas, the
Peoples party will be stronger than
ever. That the Republicans were as
sisted in the last campaign by the
railroads and corporations can no
longer be doubted, and that they
have had the backing and assistance
of these same corporations in their
endeavOr to prevent legislation can
not be disputed. Let the majority
be so overwhelming at the next cleo
tiOn that these outrageous combines
will never dare to show their hydra
heads again.

that it is doing more to the discrcdit
