things Of her work. She saysAll mature
men sign ths pledge to vote for the
amendment, and that all elderly women
sign the request to voters to support the
amendment. She finds most opposition
among the young and inexperienced,
though We never had 80 many young
women coming into the ranks as now.
One man Of considerable note in the
state Is reported as objecting to womSn's
enfrRnChisement because he is afraid
women enfranchised would be slow TO
marry. Too much independence he
thought would be given women by en-
reimbursement
"But the enrolment work goes bravsly
on. Not aess than 10000 voters are now
enrolled under the amendment banner.
"Mrs. J. @. Bare is q remarkable per-
son. She was the first woman to join the
Alliance in her county. She is q 'woman's
woman and rejoices at every opportu-
nifty of advancement offered to women.
She was soon elected lecturer Of the
county Alliance, and was steadily ad-
vanced to one official position after
another. She is also q United States
pension agent, and has secured many
thousand dollars Of arrsarsges for widows
and orphans Of soldiers. Besides all this
she manages her own farm and two
others Of non-residents, attends to col
lecting rents, and withal forgets not to
work earnestly for women's interests, and
will find time to give effsctual aid to the

exciting chariot races, hurdle races, and

between the champion lady riders Of
Missouri, Nebraska and California will

seventy-five in number will be csmped
upon the fair grounds, and will give ex-

and shooting every day, besides showing
the customary life of the red man in his

the music. Such is a brief outline Of
the many attractions offered by the
management OF the Kansas City Inter

vantage Of the single fare round trip rate
offered by the railroads during the week
Of September 25, when the fair will
occur. Everyone should see it, for it
will be the greatest event in the west for
many years to come.

Kansas Suffragists.

The Womsn's Column, published in
Boston by Alice Stone Blackwell, runs a
column of Kansas notes, from which the
following is taken:
"Mrs. g. L. Denton, president Of the
Seventh District Equal Suffrage Associ-
alton, is doing effective work. She has
recently spoken and organized at Ster-
ling, Lyons and Chase, and has left the
nucleus Of societies at Sylvia and Stat
ford. Mrs. Denton thinks more work
ought to be done in the country school
houses, and that the intelligence Of our
country people requires that good talent
be sent to the rural districts. She is
right about this. But there is another
true thing about the matter, and that is
that this same intelligence Of these peo-
pie, and their state pride and affection,
lead them to receive with the kindest in
diligence the message Of their own
county women, when they come to tell
what Kansas women want, even though
they do not exhibit the finish of prac-
ticed speakers.

Largest Drill on Exhibition at the Worlds
Fair.


Brennan & Co., Of Louisville, KY, have
the largest drill on exhibition at the
World d'sFsir. It is q twenty-five shoe
drill, with shoes six inches apart; it has
tires three and one-hRh inches wide, and
has adjustable four-horss hitch.
Brennan & Co. are the pioneer manu-
fscturers Of the shoe drill, upon which
they have improved since it's first intro
duction, until bringing it TO its present
state of perfection. Tbs shoe drill is
adaptable to any kind of soil, and by
means of an adjustable cam or fulcrum
each spring can be we'll regulated, or the
pressure Of all the springs can be in
creased or diminished to suit the oondi-
tion Of the soil at time Of planting. This
feature is positive assurance Of plant
ing the grain at an even depth.
The feed on the improved Kentucky
shoe drill is a positive force feed very
strong and durable, and of great sccu-
rscy; its parts work smoothly and with
out perCeptble friction. The feed can
be instantly changed to SOW greater or
less quantity without change of gear
wheels by the simple movement Of q
lever.
The exhibit at the fair is in charge Of
FL. Bufenmeyer, whose connection with
the house covers a period of ten years.
II you visit the fair, go into the Agrieul-
tural building, and he will entertain you
on any subject that may be your hobby,
especially if it be drills. The exhibi-
tions of these drills is in the annex of
the Agricultural building.

THE WORLD MOVES.

Ulty,
The annual Kansas City Interstate
Fair this year promises to be the greatest
ever held in the west. Neither trouble
or expense have been saved to make it
so, and the immense interest that mer-
chants and producers have manifested in
it is guerdon Of it's success.
The merchants of Kansas City agreed
with the board of directors Of the fair
ASSOCIATION, that owing to the financial
stringency thousands would be unable
to attend the Worlds Fair, in Chicago,
and that IN order to give these thousands
a chance to enjoy in part, if not in its en-
tirety, the colossal exhibition, that an
unusually attractive fair should be given
in Kansas City, and that as many
Worlds Fair attractions as could be So
cured, should be brought to Kansas
City.
With this object in view, q splendid
premium list was devised, the sum total
Of the money hung up amounting to $780,
600. Glass exhibits were made q feature,
and the premiums offered for the differ
ent classes Of live stock are the most
generous ever offered in the west. The
$1,000 sweepstRke for the best beef herd
will bring to Kansas City all the princi-
pal herds that have been on exhibition
at the Worlds Fair, and the other pre-
miums equally generous. In the speed
ring $4,000 are to be contested for.
The speed program is varied and at
tractive, and includes two 1000 purses,
one for the free.for-sll class trotters, the
other for the free-for-all class Of PAGERS.
AS a special attraction in the speed ring,
the management has secured the cele-
brated trotters of the Stewart stable
Walter E. and Rylsnd T., who finished
first and second respectively in the $4,000
frse,for-sll at Buffalo, N. Y, this year.
Walter E. has also won the free -for-all
races at Rochester, N. Y, and Spring
field, Mass, this season, defeating all the
crack trotters in his class. These two
giants Of the trotting turf will attempt
to lower the worlds mile record on
hslf-mile track.
Among the many attractions to be on
exhibition at the Kansas City Interstate
Fair, will be the following: A troupe Of
Arabs, who have been on exhibition at
the Worlds Fair. The troupe numbers
over twenty-five people, and carries
thirty head Of the finest Arab horses in |
tte world; csmels, dromedsries and
Egyptian donkeys. With the troupe are
wild riders from the African deserts;
q characteristic Arabian band and four
Arabian dancing girls, whose sinuous
grace and enthrslling dancing has been
the talk Of the country. A delegation |
from the Javsnese village will be another |
Worlds Fair attraction. These wonder
full little people dance and sing with
wonderful ability. They will bring with |
them a collection of the most interesting |
objects that they have on exhibition in
Chicago. Mrs. Ernest Hart, who planned |
and built the Donegal castle and Irish
village in Midway PlRisance, will be in
Kansas City, and will give illustrated
lectures on Ireland and it's salient points
Of interest, illustrating her talk with
stereoptiesn views of Erin's isle. With
her, Mrs Hart will bring q number OF |

The Rev. Lyman Beecher was once en-
gagged to preach by way OF exchange for a
country minister, and the day proved to he
very cod and stormy 1t was midwinter,
and .he snow was piled in heaps all along
the loads, so as to make the passage very
difficult. Still the doctor urged his horse
through the drifts till he reached the
church, put his horse into shed and went
in,
As vet there was no person in the house,
and after looking about he took his seat in
the pulpit Soon the door opened, and "A
single individual walked up the aisle and
took a seat
The hour came for opening the service,
but thereswere no more hearers. Whether
to preach to such an audience or not was
only a momentary question with Lyman
Beecher. He felt that he had duty to
perform and that he had no right to refuse
to do it because one man only could reap
the benefit, and accordingly he went
through all the services, praying, singing,
preaching and benediction, with one hearer.
And when all was over he FASTENED down
from the desk to speak to the "congrega-
tion," but he had departed.
So rare a circumstance was Of course oc-
casonally referred to. but 20 years after a
very delightful discovery came to light in
connection with this service. DIR. Beecher
was travelling in Ohio and on alighting
from stage in IL pleasant village gentle
tleman stepped up to him and called him
by name.
II do not remember you, "said DIR. BEECH
er.
a suppose not, said the stranger, "but
we spent two hours together in house
alone once, in a storm"
II do not recall it, sir" replied the old
minister; pray where was itf'
do you remember preaching 20 years
ago in such place to a single person"
Yes. l do indeed, and if you are the
man have been wishing to see you ever
since"
II am the man, sir, and that sermon
made "a minister of me, and yonder is my
church. The converts of that sermon are
all over Ohio. youths Companion.

No proper census has ever been taken OF
the natives in the Transvaal. According to
the last estimate, the approximate number
of the native tribes living within the linn

19,01l grown up males, 100, 123 females and
90, 534 children. The two principal tribes
are the Basutos or Makatis and the Mag

Don't begin the winter feeding with the
idea that il will pay in the end to get three
animals through the winter on tho food that
two should have.
There 10 no other branch Of industry that
could have so successfully witbstood the
old axiom ..wilful waste makes woful want
AS hss the farm. But the day is very near
a, hand when economy in land, in feedsrg,
etc, and tie need of constant Improvement
will be imperative to even tie smallest sue
cess.
Skim milk is too little valued as an ac-
cessory for stock feeding says an expert
enced feeder. Chemically considered, 1t
c,utsins almost all the elements necessary
for the support of life and the rebuilding OF
tissue. Young animals especially will use
i, TO great advantage in combination with
other foods, and there should be plenty OF
such kept on every dairy farm, so that this
by-pi oduct could be employed to the fullest
extent to supplement the profit.
One Of the good reasons for GLOWING
hogs to run in an orchard is to pick up III
imperfect fruit which has fallen. This
fruit has been stung and if left TO lie upon
the ground affords breeding for insects that
will work injury to succeeding crops.
An admirable illustration of what may be
done on a farm by working en- the priaciple
of improving what you've got instead OF
buying all the land adjoining regardless of
improvement is found in this which we take
from an exchange: A farmer whose herd
of cows four years ago brought him in from
the creamery 500 month during the sea-
son. after four years of wedding and i'm
proving his cows, now gets $500 month
from the same number as he had at first.
Now he has set to work to make the land
feed twice as many cows, which will again
double the income from the farm.
