Ten Commandments.


A. X. Hyatt, writing in Farm and
Dairy, says:
/. Thou shalt get move on thee
early before the patrons, with the
voice of a multitude as it were, or the
voice of mighty laundering, are shout
ing to be delivered.
2 Thou shalt wash thy hands every
day in clean water-counsel is mine
clean from under thy nails, soak out
dirty creases and wrinkles, for dirty
butter maker is an abomination.
8. Thou shalt not let fat escape, for
when thou givest dividends thy pat
rons shalt say, why taketh it twenty
five pounds of milk to make pound
of butter when twenty will do it Just
over the way?" and thou wilt be left
as the beacon on top of mountain or
an ensign on top of hill.
4 Thou shalt not add water to our
skim milk and so cheat q whole neigh
borhood of hungry hogs. The Lord
have mercy on thy soul. Repent and
sin no more.
5. Thou must not mix in flies. Dead
flies cause the ointment of an apothe-
cary shop to send forth a sinking
SAVIOR. How much more so will it do
in butter? Tobacco smoke, ashes or
juice is incompatible to gilt-edge but
ter.
6 Thou must own a knowing nose,
sensible nose, ever on the alert; know
poor milk at the first sniff. Milk
'off" thou must send off, for if taken
in all will be taken in.'
Z. Thou shalt not allow one or two
hogs to steal from the many. A two
legged hog allowing other two-legged
hogs to steal milk from half the four
legged hogs in the neighborhood, is a
sad picture.
s. Cleanliness is next to goblin ess.
A filthy butter maker is of all abom-
nations the most abominable.
9. Thou shalt be prompt with thy
dividends Thou shalt not let women
and children go hungry and ragged
that thou msyst have few more
shekels in the bank. Attend to this
that thou mayest be blessed and not
cursed.
10. Thou shalt not say about one
half water their milk, others skim.
Don't shout stop thief" With the
Judgment ye judge We shall be judged.
Verify, Verify, / say unto you, the pot
is black and so is the kettle.

KANSAS ALLIANCE.
From the Topeka Advocate ]
A Bit of MorriI,,s Record.

In this the most important political
campaign in Kansas history the Peo-
pies party papers have made no at
tempt to injure personal character
without cause. The Republican state
convention, in order to keep up its
reputation OF standing by the inter-
ests OF the money power nominated
nine state candidates, seven of which
are either bankers or corporation law
yers, or both. The most notorious
of these are Il. w. Blue for congress-
man-at-large and Z. n Morrill, for
governor. These two men have bus
mess records so foul that they are
even denounced by members of their
own party. while their leaders under
take to berate the official character of
POpulist officials.
+. n. Morrill, was the go-betwecn of
the railroad company. One of his
plans was to get fraudulent claim on
settlers lands and then so Ieeze money
from the settlers in exchange for
quit-claim deed. 1t might be called
matchmaking of the more genteel kind.
He had way of making omesteaders
pay him money even after they had
paid all the government required for
the land, though it was sometimes
necessary for him to lie like satan to
do it.
''ln the summer of 1880 | wrote to
f. n Morrill, in regard to my land,
the southeast quarter section %, town.
ship 3, range 3, stating that had
homesteaded in good faith, that | was
an old soldier in very Strengthened
circumstances and that on account of
sickness and crop failure | would be
unable to live through without some
money and to get it | would have to
mortgage my land and that ! could
not get loan with his claim on the
land. August 3, 1880, | received an
answer from him stating that in re-
gard to my claim on said land that
the commissioner of the general land
Office and the secretary of the in
terror had decided that had no claim
to said land, but if / would pay
him $3.50, he would clear my title,
otherwise he would have to bring suit
for ejectment. This was over his own
name. So there was nothing to do
but to settle his claim as | did, by
paying it, but when the deed came it
was from G.. II. James and wife in
place of Morrill,. They were partners
in the Hiawatha bank. So the matter
vas settled for time.
March 3, 1887, congress passed an
act to reimburse certain settlers along
the line of the st. j. q ID. G.. railroad.
l made application for reimbursement
under said act through j. K. 5. Birch,
an attorney of Washington, Kan. and
the following is the reply received
from the commissioner of the general
land Office:

Against the inroads of that subtle lurking foe
to human health. malaria. had been expended
uselessly when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
appeared upon the scene and demonstrated its
power as a preventive and curative OF the
dreaded scourge. When the gold fever"
ragged in lSi0 in California, malaria was con-
temporaneous with IL at the "diggings," and
wrought dreadful havoc among the miners
Then and subsequently on the Isthmus OF Pana-

ease is most virulent, the Bitters became the
recognized safeguard. For the effects OF ex-

prompt relief. Invalids OF all sorts will find il

Il. w. BLUE is u stakeholder in the
Citizens bank of Mound City, Kansas,
an institution which recently failed
with liabilities far exceeding its assets.
The bank was swindle from start to
finish. Blue paid $500 for stock in
this bank and thereby, it seems, es-
tablished credit of twelve times that
amount, something he never had in
his life before. But this credit was
used to the dire detriment of the de-
positors of the concern, for Blue drew
out over $4,000 of the banks funds and
the receiver now holds his worthless
notes for that amount The deposit
ors will receive little or nothing for
their hard earned money. This ac-
counts for all this standing up for
the credit of Kansas" which fellows of
the Blue strip talk so much about.
They believe in credit and confidence,
for-it may enable them to repeat their
confidence games in the future.
