For Those Who Build.

Too many country houses are built
without apparent regard for the con-
Venience or comfort of their future
inmates. Few have any provision
for warming the upper rooms unless
possibly the ''front room" may have a
stove in which to light a fire when
there are guests to spend the night.
Instead OF such insufficient accommO-
dation, the chambers might be COM
fortably warmed by means Of regis
tiers through the floors, with simply
the surplus heat from the lower
rooms. 1t may be healthy to sleep
in a cold room, but it is not very
pleasant to make toilet in a room
where the thermometer hovers around
zero. These registers may be put in
after the house is built by any one
handy with tools; each eight inches
by ten, costing about a dollar and
half. There should be clothes closet
opening out Of each sleeping loom,
besides an extra large one in which
to keep bedding OF clothing out of
season. l find there are many houses,
too, that are built with rooms of in
convenient size for carpeting. Where
at all possible, rooms should be an
even number Of yards floor measure
one way, SO that it will not be neces-
sary to turn under part of a breadth
OF carpet or leave bare space. Why
cannot the country house have bath
room? Surely no one needs such
room more than the farmer and his.
family, yet the convenience foc bath
ing are CONSPICUOUS by their absence
in nearly eVe:y country house. Fit
up some small room with a bath tub
of metal, either tin, zinc or galvan-
lied iron, connected with the cistern
bV a force pump, the water to be
warmed with small single or double
burner kerosene stove, and the bath
water to be emptied through the
kitchen drain. Surely some means
could be provided without great ex.
pense whereby that great luxury, a
warm all-oyer bath, might be enjoy
ed in the country where there are no
hot water pipes or modern bath room
with their conveniences. - Ameri-

The annual reunion of the Eleventh
Kansas cavalry volunteers, will be held
at Emporia, Kan, December z, 1893.
All members of the regiment are request

August Law, respected citizen OF
Turner, committed suicide, by throwing
himself on the track in front of south
bound Santa Fe passenger train, meet

Independence Tribune: Commission
er Moore has been quite busy having the
court house and jail plumbed for gas,
and now when you enter that temple OF
justice, you will find it lighted and

Preston Plain Dealer: A couple OF
colored fellows tackled Carlisle's wheat
bin the other night, who resides south
east of Pratt, and were surprised in the
act, when one of them pulled his gun
and shot Carlisle in the leg. Shortly
after the shooting, the neighbors tracked
the thieves and succeeded in arresting
the boys. Bail was fixed at $500 which
one of them was able to raise.

A Sample Resolution.

Resolutions condemnatory of the lead
ers of the allipop party in Kansas have
been adopted at public meetings all over
Kansas during the period since they at
tempted by civil war to override the will
of the majority of citizens the state, as
expressed by their votes The following,
fair sample of these resolutions, was
adopted by citizens of Brown county.
1t was framed by Major E. N. Morrill,.
Resolved, The security of life and
property, the well-being and happiness
of our citizens-the best interests of all
our people demand that the majority
shall rule, and that there shall be faith
full obedience to the constitution and
laws of our state. Without this we can
have no civil government. And for this
disregard for the constitution and the
rights of the majority, and this open and
notorious violation of the law we arraign
the present state administration, and
charge them with violation of their
oaths of Office. We arraign them and
all who sustain their actions as false to
the best interests of our state and as
having by their conduct and slanderous
utterances dishonored the fair name of
Kansas and driven from the state worthy
citizens Of other states who would have
settled within our borders. By discred-
iting the financial ability and honesty
of our citizens they have driven capital
from our state and made 1t impossible
for our citizens to get extensions OF their
pecuniary obligations; and we appeal to
the patriotism and good sense of the citi-
zens of our county to arrest their power
in behalf Of good government and to
place the seal of condemnation upon
those who have thus proven themselves
unworthyaof public trust.

STOCK AND FARM.

Kansas City Gazette: We hear of a
Wyandotte county man who raised
5000 bushels of carrots. He sold them
to Armours to be used in making soup.
He received 40 cents bushel, or 50, 900,
more than enough to pay for the land
on which they were raised. We are told
the Armours wanted him to grow them
1000 bushels of onions. They have con-
tracted with him for 10000 bushels Of
carrots next year.
Kansas City, Mo-, Journal: The hog
market persists in going lower in the
face of very light receipts at the Kan
sas City, Kan, stock yards. But it is
the time of year when packers always
depress prices. The consumption of
hog products is light at this season and
meat stocks increase. Then at 1915 to
$3.50 for hogs is a good price when corn
is selling in the country at 25 cents per
bushel and in the market at 80 to 81
cents.
Preston Plain Dealer: Jacob HAYNES
went to Topeka about two weeks ago on
deal, which failed TO connect, and
then resulted in the purchasing of lot
Of Texas ponies, which he drove home,
being eight days on the road. He only
left one behind, which was taken with
the collie in Reno county, and remains
there to be doctored. The undertaking
was pretty steep one, considering Mr..
Haynes age, about IS, and the scarcity
OF feed in this county.
Valley Falls New Era: Webster &
Son, of the Orchard Hill farm, started
load Of fine stock to the City Of Mex
leo last Friday night, in which was one
OF their fine young stations and some
extra fine milk cows of both the Holstein
and Short horn families.
From Emporia: The Texas fever cat
tie case, in which were 159 parties who
lost cattle, has been settled by a COM
promise, Hosier Bros, of Kansas City,
paying $4,000 of the damages, and the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad still
being held for $4,000.

THE woRKINGMAN's LAMNET.

Twas last fall the politician took the role of a
magician,
And told the party orators to make the mighty
shout,
That with four more years of Grover, we all
could live in clover:
And Democratic president would turn the ras-
Gals out.
They said Mckinley prices created all the
vices.
And projections bound to bring the wolf about
the workingmans door.
Just cast your vote for Grover, then roll your
self in clover.
For with Cleveland for our president you'll
want for nothing more.
Oh ! his words were sweet as honey, as he talked
about the money
The nottingham would find at night within
And that was how he caught us, but experience
We but sold ourselves in bondage, through this
Democratic tale.
Though we wear the Cleveland collar, we're not
earning one good dollar.
For the threatened change OF tarn mas COM
pleteIy closed our mills
Now in sorrow just mention, 1t has come to
my attention

cratic pills.
To our shame it's now we own it, oh! why
couldn't we have known it,
Twas our votes, above all others that brought
this change about:
IT'S apparent now that Grover has fenced in
his field of clover.
But is taking in the rascals and has turned the
workmen out.
We go on with weary toiling, but our blood is
holly boiling
And in '96 We'll put the whole caboodle to a
rout:
We will join with our employers-not with con
fidence destroyers-
To put in Bill Mckinley, and to turn old Grover

Dread Of Tariff Changes.

Kansas City. Mo-, Journal.
Another favorable opportunity has
come about for the profitable use of cold,
hard figures. The American Economist
has taken advantage Of the situation
and gives several pages Of its space to
tabulated information relating to the
causes of the general industrial stagna-
ton of the country. Everybody is deep
ly interested in the subject, but few will
have the patience to wade through the
wilderness of numbers in the tables.
The figures are there, nevertheless, and
can be consulted by anybody who doubts
the following summary of their meaning:
These figures show that the volume of
trade is but one-half of what it was last
year, and that the depression has extend
ded to all branches of trade and indus
try. From 600 reports from employers
in Al states it is shown that more than
million less is paid out in wages each
week now than was paid out by the same
employers only one short year ago.
They also show that in the same estab-
lishments 100000 men have been thrown
out of work. Last year the average
weekly wages in these establishments
were $10.56, while this year they are
but $500. The reports show plainly
that the cause of the depression is the
universal dread of the tariff changes
threatened by the democratic party.
After the enactment of the present tar
if law, in 1890, to the day of the cleo
ton last fall there was an increase of
capital employed in the new and en-
larged industries amounting SAC, 449, 900.
1t was a glorious season of prosperity.
But since that day there has been among
the manufacturers represented in this
report a decrease of $1,050,802 in the
wages paid each week. Could anything
be more startling than these figures?
It is useless to try to link the ruin,
idleness and want which they represent
with the silver question in any way. The
blow fell when nobody was talking
about silver. There was no timidity
among investors The financial world
was going on the same as usual and
money was never easier to be had. If
the democratic party could be stirred by
other feelings than those which have led
it thus far on it's course of disaster and
wreck there might be a hope that it
would profit by the lesson of it's first
months of power and confess the error of
it's ways. But that cannot be expected.
The remedy lies in keeping the facts be-
fore the country until the people have an
opportunity to remedy the costly mis-
take they made last year.

Two Examples.
Kansas City, Mo-, Journal:

Kansas City, Mo-, Journal
Judge Gary is elected in Chicago
The democratic governor of Illinois, to
pay for the vote that gave the state to
himself and Grover Cleveland, pardoned
the anarchist prisoners and at the same
time made savage attack on the char
acter of Judge Gary. His party refused
to nominate him when asked by the Or
derby citizens of Chicago. The republi-
cans nominated him, and he has not
only been elected, but carried the whole
judicial ticket with him. Score one for
American civilization.
Judge Maynard, who assisted as jul
dicial officer in fraudulently making
away with a poll book, by which the
New York senate was made democratic,
and David B. Hill and Edward Murphy
were elected to the United States senate,
has been defeated by 100000 votes, and
with his defeat is the restoration of the
stolen senate. Score another one to the
credit of American citizenship.
If other people are equal to the virtue
shown in Chicago and New York, these
may be the beginnings of the end of
mob government and the rule of rascal
ity in our municipal politics. Why
should only the bad men be elected to
ofice-or allowed to rule?

PICS farrowed in May can be made
into February pork pretty easily, and
with about the least cost Clover,
new oats, pumpkins and sweet corn
will contribute to this end, with hard
corn after November 1st for fatten-
ing.
STORE up several loads of sharp
gravel for winter use. 1t is rather
early to talk about preparing for
winter, but find when such things
are left until the last moment they
are apt to be forgotten until work is
in such shape that it becomes more
OF task. The same NAV be said Of
gathering and storing road dust for
baths for the chickens in winter.
No FRUIT loses flavor from being
carelessly handled more quickly than
apples. Apples which have been well
stored retain their flavor throughout
the winter, but those which have
been allowed to lie about with decay
ing specimens, or are stored loosely
in barrels either lose their favor or
acquire a rank taste from the condi-
tions around them.

are kept, one Of these two-wheeled

and they are very easy to ride upon.
The cost Of producing any sort of
farm stock can be best reduced BY
reducing the time in which it is
grown. To accomplish this you need
stock which has marked tendency
toward early maturity, and then you
must do all that you can to intensity
this tendency by good feeding. The
two together can easily reduce the
time Of making" either beef or pork
at least one-half from the old
standards.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

NJ, K. & T. earnings for the first
week of November show an increase over
the same week of the previous year OF
$50,222.
The Rock Island officials do not pro-
pose to have their trains looted by rob-
bers if they can held it. They have an
organized force of express guards, who
operate under the direction of John Gar
diner.
The Union Pacific has addressed let
tiers to all of its connections saying that
under the receivership the road will con-
tinue doing business exactly as hereto
fore, and that it desires the cooperation
of other lines it has had up to this
time.
Topeka Capital: The guards on the
Rock Island route that were reported as
John GARDENERS men, are United States
Express guards, and all paid by that
company. doc" Ward and several ex-
policemen are among them, and they in
tend to give the train robbers a warm
reception.
Topeka Journal: The board of rail
road commissioners ordered the Missouri
Pacific to replace their passenger train
on the Topeka-Fort Scott division. Some
time ago the management of the road
took off the regular passenger train
without authority of the board, and in
its place put on mixed train. Since
that time the people living along the line
of the road have repeatedly petitioned
the board to have the train restored be-
cause when the road was built bonds
were voted with the understanding that
first class passenger traffic should be Sc
cured. 1t is believed that the road will
not put the train back before the matter
has been referred to the supreme court.
Topeka Journal: F. E. Nipps, the
local agent of the Missouri Pacific rail-
way company, told Journal reporter
that he expected to be authorized by his
company shortly to ask the city council
for right of-way by which they can
erect a new passenger depot and
freight depot on or near the site of the
present depot on East Flfth sIreeG. Mr.
Nipps says, ''as soon as the earnings be-
gin to increase, and it looks as if that
would be right away, [ am confident
the company will make these necessary
improvements. Several years ago S. 81. Il.
Clark, then vice president, but now re-
ceiver of the Union Pacific, asked the
council for the necessary right-of-way to
build these improvements. The council
granted it, but Mayor Cofran, for some
reason, I never understood, vetoed the
measure. That made Mr.. Clark mad
This is the reason the Missouri Pacific
never did work for the town. I am in
formed also that the company contem-
plates building north from Topeka into
Nebraska when times improve; that it
would be paying investment. I ex-
pect George Gould, the president of the
Missouri Pacific, to be here within few
months to look the ground over"

Better Times.

Kansas City (Mo.) Journal.
Though the elections do not affect
single vote in the present congress, by
change, and though Cleveland has over
three years still to serve-yet they will
do more to make times better than the
repeal of the purchase clause, or all the
legislation that this congress can enact.
Democrats dare not make any sweep
ing tariff change-for this election
proves their places would know them no
more-and the business interests of the
country see that the change will come
IN due time.
This fact will inspire confidence that
both business and money will be made
safe as soon as under the people the
law can get at them.

Thomas Jefferson invented the

first laid down the mathematical
principles that underlie the construc.

blacksmith to make fone. A plow
consists OF two wedges, a cutting and

cred and enunc ated the proportions
of each and the relation each bore TO
the other. Before his day no two
smiths made plows alike, now they
are all made in accordance with a

Marketing Green Tomatoes.

Every year just when frost comes
to stop further fruitage of tomatoes
there is an active demand among
housekeepers for green tomatoes to
be used for pickles. The price is
often better late in the season for
this green fruit which is then scarce,
than for the ripe tomatoes during the
time when the market is glutted.
Why do not tomato growers take
hint from this fact. and market
part of their crop green while they
can pick it without the bother of
sorting out frosted or rotted fruit?
If dealers offered the green tomatoes
with the explanation that they are
cheaper than they can be sold later,
a good many could be disposed of and
the glut of ripened fruit be lessened.

Best Results from silage.

No one thinks of feeding cows ex-
clusively on corn silage. They need
some dry feed with it, and this it
will pay to buy if the farm itself does
not afford them. AS an instance of
