KANSAS CHURCHES.

Topeka Capital: Dean Colwell has re-
signed his position as rector of the Epis-
copal church in this city, and will leave
the first of February for Colorado
Springs to accept a call from Grace
church. A call has been given Rev.
Frank Millspaugh, Of Minneapolis by
the church.
Abilene special: At Elmo, in south
Dickinson county, two factions Of the
United Brethren had been struggling
for the possession of the church build
ing. One party hitched teams to the
edifce and started to haul it away in
the night. The other hurried to Abilene
for an injunction. The building was
in the middle of the road when the sher-
if arrived.
Rev. o. 8. Morrow, of Lincoln, Ne
barska, has accepted the call to be pas
tor of the United Presbyterian church
in Lawrence. He was formerly home
missionary for his church and has been
in the west for several years. Rev. ]. G..
Griffith, of Williamsport, Pa, has mott
fed the English Lutheran church at
Lawrence that he will accept the pastor
ate of the church. He is expected to
take charge in about month.
The members OF the Zion Baptist
church in North Lawrence had an ex-
citing scene at their services. Rev. Hen
derson, the regular minister, thought
some of the remarks of Brother Cox,
who was doing the preaching. were too
personal and started for Cox with a
chair. The congregation took the mat
ter up and after time separated the
brethren. Rev. Henderson was summa-
rily dismissed from the church at a
meeting of the deacons held immediate
ly after the services.

A Brilliant Free Trader.

Leavenworth Times.
Some remarkable utterances concern
ing the Mckinley law appear in the
Pittsfeld, Mass. Sun, tariff reform
organ. That paper says:
The Mckinley bill put duty on copying
paper SO high that it was practically prohib-
tive and it forced the price away up. Then
the American manufacturer began to expert
ment and of course, SCOT there" He soon
learned how to make copying paper and
mills were put upon it to the end that the
production became greater than the demand.
This sent the price down, and In little time
it was at the lowest figures ever known.
So FAR 50 good. The protection argu-
ment is unanswerable. But the Sum,
with dswning upon its mind OF the
force Of its own statement, suddenly
switches of from logical view OF the
subject under consideration, and dog
matically exclaims:
The tariff had nothing to do with the price.
Competition did the work.
This is amusing, considering that the
following facts have been admitted.
Without protection, copying paper was
not made in this country, but was i'm
ported at high prices. With protection,
home factories started up and soon pro-
duced copying paper at lower prices
than were ever known before, at the
same time giving employment to hum
dreds of wage-earners in the newly Gre
ated industry. And this is the history
Of the great multitude of American en-
terprises as associated with the tariff.
With the record before them, people
will smile at topsy turvy conclusions
like the one which we have quoted from
the Pittsfeld free trade organ. The
plain teaching of facts cannot be reversed
by comic opera logic.

For some months it has been known
almost to certainty that promi-
nent prince Of Europe is now in
America in disguise, and Is canvass
ing for books, that he may in this
manner learn more of the real life OF
the 4 merican people. Twice has he
been identified in the East and each
time changed his disguise and his
field OF action, for, to be known,
would entirely defeat the object of
his visit Lately something has
transpired which leads the Phila-
delphia Times to the conclusion that
this same prince Is now selling books
in Texas
A list Of eminent men who have
been book agents comprises many
authors and statesmen. George
Washington was book agent and q
good one. Prior to the fatefuI Brad
dock expedition he sold, over 200
copies in Fairfax and adjoining
counties in Virginia, of a work on
the American Savage" Jay Gould,
Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Mark
Twain were, in early life, book can
vassers. So, also, was Longfellow,
and his success was remarkable.
There is now in possession of the
Massachusetts, Historical Society q
prospectus the poet used and on one
of the blank leaves are the skeleton
lines of the celebrated poem "Ex-
ceIsior," which he was evidently then
incubating. Daniel Webster paid his
second terms tuition at Dartmouth
by selling books. General Grant at
one time took an agency for Irving's

agent in California in l849-5O. Ex-
President Hayes footed it all over
southern Ohio selling 'Baxter's Lives

lieutenant, employed at the capital,
and tuo honorable to duplicate his

James G. Blaine began his business
career as a canvasser in Washington

1892, although exact amounts cannot
be given.
The confirmation of the sale OF the
Kansas City, Wyandotte & Northwestern
railway will be contested before United
States Circuit Judge Caldwell by large
number of creditors of the receiver of
the road. The grounds that the attor-
neys will set forth are found in the cir
cular of Receiver Newman Erb to the
creditors, in which he gives tabulated
statement Of all the debts outstanding
against the road, and an outline OF the
plan of recognizing. The circular states
in part that the S650,0 paid for the
road will cover only the obligations OF
the first and second class and that there
will not be funds enough left to satisfy
in full the certificates and obligations OF
the third class, and that those OF the
fourth class viii be left wholly unpro-
vided for.

dent, showing how short-sighted
farmers may be: sThere was a man
on farm near my place; he had the
farm four or five years. He was paid
S400 year to run the farm by the
owner. The owner asked me to talk
to him about taking good care Of the
COWS, feeding, etc. / talked to him
about feeding, watering, cleaning,
and taking care of them, and he did
first rate with the cows Now this
man thought that because there was
so much money made keeping cows
that he would run in debt for the
farm, so he bought it. He had some
good cows, but do you suppose he
kept on feeding the way he had been?
No, indeed. asked him what M
got from those cows. and he tells me
that S24 was all he got per cow, and
he says, i wish I was not so poor, so

Mcpherson Freeman Vim: The amourA
or taxes paid into the treasurer's Office
up to the last day to receive taxes, was
S78, 960.47. On the same date in 1892
the amount paid in was $73, 550.23, the
last pamed sum including the tax paid
by the Santa Fe, which has not yet
been paid this year. In round num-
bers the excess paid in this year is
about $4,000. This does not indicate
that the farmers of Mcpherson county
are in very bad condition.
Kansas City, Mo-, Star: The manu-
facture of butterine in Kansas City,
Kan, has increased every year since
1887, when national legislation for the
regulation Of the manufacture and sale
of that product was had. The total pro-
duction of butterine in the United
States in 1892 reached sixty-seven mil
lion pounds, of which Kansas City,
Kan, furnished one-fourth. This year
shows a further increase. Kansas
City, Kan, has four factories en-
gagged in the manufacture of butterine.
The Armour Packing company alone
manufactures 81 million pounds or one
eighth of the total production of Amer
lea. The Kansas City product finds its
way into every state in the union and it
goes into Mexico and Canada and into
the West Indies, South America, China,
Japan and the islands of the Pacific.
Added to this, large supplies of oleo oil
and neutral are exported to European
countries, where they are used in the
manufacture of butterine.

They do Understand 1t.
Leavenworth Times.

Leavenworth Times.
In view of the fact that Kansas farmers
this year, under the Mckinley high tariff
law, sold their wool for about five cents q
pound it is rather refreshing to have The
Leavenworth Times tell them to stick to
sheep; that while there will be no demand
for wool under the Wilson bill that people
will still want mutton.-Wichita Beacon.
They sold their wool for five cents a
pound simply and solely because we are
in view of the fact of the repeal of the
Mckinley law. That is a proposition
that any school boy can understand and
even democratic free trader is not so
stupid that he does not understand it.
Some of them have so little respect for
heir regulations for intelligence, how
ever, as to be willing to appear so
stupid.

Good One on Springer.

Kansas City, Mo-, Journal.
Records are liable to hit anywhere.
Mr.. Springer is for tax on incomes,
and he knows it is constitutional. And
this is how he knows it: When in war
times it was deemed necessary to lay a
tax on incomes to help save the union
and the constitution Mr.. Springer was
opposed to it and resisted its payment
even into the supreme court. Mr..
Springer contended that it was tax
that could only be levied by state. But
the supreme court sustained the consti-
nationality and the gentleman from Hi
nois had to pay. Now that he knows it
is constitutional he is willing to use it
to pay for free trade. He was opposed
to it to save the union, but in favor of
it to save tariff reform. This is a great
country, noted for the variety of it's pro-
ducts.

STOCK AND FARM

At Chase the state veterinarian has
found case of true CHAMBERS.
Professor Sayre of the Lawrence
Pharmacy school, has received rare
medical specimen of the colocynth plant
from former classmate, J. Allaire, Pm.
G., of Deming, N. M. The plant was
raised on Mr.. Allaire's plantation near
Deming, from seed from Trieste, on the
coast of the Adriatic sea, and is the only
known specimen ever raised in America.
There is large importation of the drug
made from this plant from Trieste, and
Professor Sayre is to make scientific
comparison of the Asiatic plants. 1t is
Mr.. Allaire's opinion that the American
is superior to the Asiatic product, and
that it can be proftably produced in
western Kansas and New Mexico.

Live Stock Notes.

The careful farmer provides shelter
OF some kind for all of his stock.
IF young SOW is bred, she should
have a good rest before she is bred
again.
MANY a farm can be run to a bet
te- advantage without dog than
without pig.
IMPROPER feeding is the cause in
nine cases out Of ten of sickness
among the horses
BREEDING too young is rather apt
to check development than to stamp
it on the offspring.
GROUND oats and rye, with little
cornmeal added, makes good ration
for the young brood mares.
THE surface of the body constant
ly gives off heat and the colder the
air the more heat given of.
BRAN, when it's manurial value is
considered, is one of the cheapest
feeds that can be fed to animals
THERE is considerable difference in
the appearance of lean, thrifty pig
and lean, poverty stricken one.
NATURES way with all young ami
mails is to push growth to make bone
and frame at the expense of flesh.
EVERY successful stock feeder
knows how necessary it is for an ami
NAL fattening to be regular at its
feed.
TIE shorter we can make the corn
feeding time in the fall, the less of
hard labor for the men and teams on
the farm.
If you want the good of the calf.
above all else you will let it have its
mothers milk; from nothing else will
it thrive 10 well.
In order to make good beef and
make it early, the steady feeding of
the most suitable foods from the
very first Is very necessary.
Do NOT allow dug wallows to be
made around the watering tanks, as
troughs; Ia adSition to the dizziness,
there is danger Of injury from falling
later on.
THE watering of the horses, and,
in fact Of all kinds Of stock, is of
more importance than is usually at
tached to it and care should be taken
to have the arrangements as clean
and comfortable as possible.

Low Yields Of Corn.

It is surprising how low the aver.
age yields of corn are, taking the
country as whole. Twenty-Five ia
% bushels per acre is the yield re.
ported for 1892, and yet with good
culture and manuring yields of more
that 100 bushels of shelled grain have
been attained. No crop has it's yield

The soil cannot be made too rich fol-
corn, as it easily may for any of the
smaller grains. The average yield of
this crop is, therefore. a fair test of
the increase or decrease of soil fer

How to Repafr Fenceposts.

An exchange tells of a careful
farmer who, when his grape trellis
posts rotted off, dug down into the
earth where the post was still solid,
and then cut the post half in two a
foot or fifteen inches below the
ground and then fastened to this half
an upright post of the height de-
sired. II the post below was mostly
rotted of, he used to reverse the post,
putting the top side in the ground
and then mortise to it above the sur
face. In this way he made each
post do double duty. The rotting
of of posts is almost always just at
the surface, and by putting bolts
through each half and thus fastening
them together the end will last as
long as did the original posts at the
surface.
