Of excitement over the early wheat market
today. The market opened weaker this
morning under cable advices, heavy selling
by foreign houses and also for local account
The wheat which came to market today was
stuff purchased yesterday on the rise, but the
feeling did not seem particularly bearish.
AS the day wore on the market became de-
cdedly weak. There was good deal of ex-
element in the wheat pit as the prices went
lower and lower, and the traders climbed
over each other and shouted themselves
boarse in their eDdeavors to get rid of their
long wheat. The May options finally got
down TO 63 3-l6 cents, which is the lowest

REPUBLICAN CONFAB.

The Republican meeting in Bonnel's

tended, many ladies being present. The
Mexican orchestra from Tularosa was
on hand and furnished excellent music.
An improvised gee club organized for
the occasion by w. e. Butler sang two

on the platform to hold the back end OF
the house down.

party's speakers, attributed solely to
the beneficent etfectsaof protective lfgls

The Meeting of the cheover Popu-

The much advertised boycott meeting
was held in Smiths hall this afternoon,
the court room being needed for legal
matters by order Of Judge Humphrey.
About 200 men were present, includ-
ing many from town, who went in to
see the fun.
j. W, Robson was chosen chairman,
and made a speech abusing Abilene and
the merchants, and picturing darkly
the bugbear of an occupation tax which
seems to worry Cheever Alliance more
than il does any one else on earth. W..
NJ. Campbell, always to the front as
usual, was secretary. A committee on
resolutions was appointed.
The committee returned the follow
ing resolutions:
WHEREAS, AS the city of Abilene

or bad management, incurred bonded
debt that is oppressive TO the rich and
poor alike, and III its frantic effort to
find ways and means OF relief, has

Aluminium,

We are reminded OF the various uees
~ which aluminium can be put by the
receipt of neat lead pt neil made of
that material from the manufacturers
OF Garland" stoves and ranges.
The souvenir is three cornered, 1T
ting the hand nicely, and being as light
AS hard wood and as strong as steel is a
very acceptable article.
Aluminium was quite costly when first
discovered, but is gradually becoming
cheaper, and should IL ever become
cheap enough there is no end to the
uses to which 1t could be put to advan.
age; for bridges, srmoT plate, ships,
etc, no better material has been dis
covered, and while most clay contains
aluminium, the principal cost is In it's
extraction from the clay.
Experiment has proven that alumni
oum mixed with iron makes the latter
metal pour smoothly, prevents blow
holes and liability of cracking, and
benefits the iron in every way. AS
"Garland" STOVES and ranges are made
of this mixture. and az more Of them are
made and sold every year than any
other stoves, II proves that The Mich
gan Stove Company's methods are che
best. Inter Ocean.
Hodge Brothers are agents for the
Garland stoves here.

ANOTHER GYPSUM BED.
Southwest Dickinson Finds a New
Bonanza.

There appears to be no end to the
amount of gypsum that underlies south
west Dickinson. Word comes that a
40.foot wien of superior quality Of
gypsum rock, said to be the largest In
the world, has been discovered on the
farm Of t. j. Cook, near Dillon, and on
the Missouri Pacific Railway. The
land has been leased to the Kansas
Cement Plaster Company, of Hope, for
twenty-five years. J. NJ. Bickel. man
sger Of the company, was 10 Usage City
yesterday preparatory to getting a shaft
sunk at the rock bed. The plaster will
furnish the world with the best hard
plaster. A spur track will soon be
built from the Missouri Pacific railway
to the mine. The rock has been bored
through in number Of places, aud is
said to be inexhaustible. There are
several other largo deposits of the val.
liable building material In this vicinity,
and the production of gypsum promises
to become the leading industry of that
part of the county.

WANTS TO PAY NOW.
The Santa Fe Is Willing to Pay
Half Taxes.

County Clerk Nottoif received today
letter from the tax commissioner OF
the Santa Fe wishing to know If the
county would receive one half the taxes
assessed against the road FOR 1893,
without penalty, indicating also that
the road would be willing to pay the
same now under protest.
Mr.. Nottorf replied that inasmuch
as the tax was not paid by Dec 20 II
is all now due and neither he nor the
county treasurer had any right to &C
cept any such proposition aud hence he
must refuse to accept the proposition
The probabilities are that in the end
the road will pay the whole tax-s but
under protest, and such a tender would
OF course be accepted.

PROFIT IN COWS.
Some Advantages of Dairying Over
Crop Raising.

some Advantages Of Dairying Over
Crop Raising.
To the Editor OF TnR lIE LEcroR.
Since Lave been impressed to write
au article or two on dairying and it's
connections, | will endeavor to give only
the practical reiuts OF actual expert.
ments, and will touch ON the important
matters L. be kcut in mind in discuss
ing this subject,
Care If Cows. have often thought
that IL the farmer knew what was in
the COW, he certainly would take better
care OF bis cows than the average Kan.
sas farmer does. lie would pay more
attention to shelter, feed and good
water for his cows. The above named
items are very important for the dairy
man who wants to make success Of
the business. Aud will here make the
assertion, that there 10 nothing on the
farm, in my estimation, that will pay
ms good returns rs a well kept dairy.
Crops vs.. Cows. To prove nv asser-
tlon, | will give you the income Of n
certain farm in the county OF Dickinson:
On the said farm there we're In the year
of 1898 80 acres of wheat sown which
gave less than 900 bushels Of wheat; 30
acres of corn, giving less than 900
bushels; 80 acres of oats, yielding less
than 800 bushels. Now, IL you please,
you may take the above figures and
calculate the grain at market price, and
you will have about $500 for the whole
business. Out Of this must come the
farmers living, providing he had no
cows or something else to fall back on
What Cows Produce. Now, on the
same farm there were 2S cows that were
MIXED, and the milk sold. The milk
that was sold from those cows from
January /, 1893 to December 81, 1893
amounted to 81 1862. Besides the mill,
sold there was milk kept for famil,
use each day for q family which mum.
bered no less than ten and often
more. Besides the milk there were 22
calves raised which would have brought
at least IS per head last fall, which
would make Sl76 for calves. Total for
milk and calves from 2s cows, I,52s,
OF little over s5i so per head.
Now leave each one to judge fol
himself which pays the best. Ofcourse
last year was an ofl year in crops, bu,
you can figure the grain at full crops
and then see the results.
This will do for this time, | may
have something to say later as to pro
vidiug for feed, etc.
