ed Hon. Lucien Baker, state senator
from Leavenwortb county, for United
States senator to succeed Hon. John

The anti-Burton caucus was in ses-

that to nominate a man must receive
'fortv-five votes and ne balloting which
followed was now in the interests of
one man and now of another. Gov.
Morrill, reached as high as twenty votes
and several times both Hood and Ady
were above the thirty mark. Ady de-
veloped the greater strength as Thach-
er declined and vice versa.

R3nn FnR NAME

This is the sum we hear the Salzer
Seed Co. offer for a suitable name for
their wonderful new oats. The United
States department of agriculture SAYS
Salzer's oats is the best of 800 varieties
tested A great many farmers report
test yield of 200 bushels per acre last
year, and are sure this can be grown
and even more during 1895. Another
farmer writes us he cropped 112 BUSH
els of Salzer's Marvel Spring wheat on
two and One-half acres. At such yield
wheat pays at SOC per bu. One thing
we know and that is that Salzer is the
largest Farm Seed grower in the world
and sells potatoes at $3.50 per barrel.

Feyerish Activity of the Day Makes a
Woman Old at Thirty-fve.
One can do three times as much by
being quiet and taking things easy as
by rushing. Girls in every station of
life are hurting themselves by attempt
ing to do too much. The girl who has
to work is over-ambitious, and the so.
cietv girl thinks she must let as much
as possible come into her life. And so,
between clubs and classes. with every
form of gayety imaginable, she is
working so hard that when she is thirty
and should be reaching her prime,
which physicians say is thirty-five, she
is old and broken down. The feverish
desire to have and to achieve is killing
the girls of to-day.
All restlessness and seeking after
what does not belong to one is him
drance to any woman. be she old or
young, and one which, in many in
stances, God did not intend should
come into her life. Repose and perfect
quietness seem to be unknown factors
nowadays, and the simple doing what
one has to do quietly and properly also
ignored. The girls of to-day, no mat
ter what their age may be, rush for
everything. There is excitement in
mind and body over the least little
thing, and women are wearing them
selves out absolutely doing nothing.
You cannot convince n girl that with
proper deliberation she might accom-
plish just what she wishes and be
strong in body and restful in mind as
well Nc, she has got so entirely used
to crushing at everything that she wears
herself out racing up and down stairs,
and when simple, normal work is fin
ished she is. as she puts it, so dead
tired that | can't even rest. Ladies'

The first practical steamboat was
built in New York in 1907. called the
Clermont, and ran to Albany and back
in August of that year But steam
boats had been run before that. As
far back as 1543, it is said, Blasco de
Garay ran boat with steam applied to
paddle wheels: in 1907 Papin ran boat
on river in Germany; in 1868 William
Henry tried his steamboat on the Con-
estoga river, in Pennsylvania. Other
experiments were made in 1774 and
1775, in 17ss. 1854 and 1856. John Fitch
had steamboat on the Delaware in
17S6, and another vessel ran in that
river from 1870 to 1872. In England
successful experiments were made in
17ss. 1856 and 1902, and in this country
in 1904. But Fulton's Clermont was
the first practical steamboat.

The Dear. Worn Hand.

Few things are capable OF touching
one with deeper sense of pathos than
the shrunken. blue-veined hand Of one
who is near and dear. Nothing brings
a sharper pang of forebading and a
harder lump in the throat than the
first time it strikes us that the gentle
hand that soothed our childish pains
and griefs, and has gladly worn away
its softness and beauty in our service is
the thin and withered, with purple
veins that stand out like whip-cords
when it lies at rest Such hand ought
to look more beautiful to those for
whom it has toiled, whose suffering it
has charmed away than the fairest
hand ever modelled by a sculptor
