WHAT AN OUTRAGE.
Billy Morgan of the Hutchinson News
Exposes the Plot Against KRffir
Corn

The township assessors of Ottawa
county have decided to assess kaffir
corn at 80 cents bushel, and corn at
s cents bushel.
Against this infamous crime against
the people the News raises its pro-
test. twenty-five years ago in the
back rooms of a London banking
house were gathered two men. They
laid their plans for the capture of the
earth, the enslavement of the Ameri-
can people and the abolition of the
Fourth of July. The only thing that
stood in their way was kaffir corn
the grain that always grows, whether
the season is wet or dry, and is food
for man or beast.
For years this plutocratic band of
robbers has had its agents in the Un-
tied States plotting against the hope
of the people, the Olny way of sal
walton, the sole pillar of freedom,
kaffir corn. By their insidious meth
DDS they have bought senators, con-
gressmen and road overseers. They
made the hot winds, and they Great
ed drouth. They have imported cy-
clones and they have elected Populist
Legislators. They sapped the life
blood of the people and have thrown
sand in the eyes of the coyotes of the
short grass country. They have ell
ected Marsh Murdoch and have en-
dOrsed Tiger Bill. All of these crimes
have they committed, but they have
ever been confronted with the fact
that kaffir corn stood in their way,
that kaffir corn was like rock in the
midst of the ocean, like joint in
Kansas town, like Democrat in fav-
or of Cleveland, alone but stalwart
and sublime in its independence.
And now the leagued enemies of
the people have invaded the sacred
precincts of the trustees of Ottawa
county. They have spent 81, ,256, ,744.-
so in their bribery of voters and
through their salaried lobbyist at
Minneapolis money has flowed like
water and more so. At last they
haye succeeded. The hope of the peo-
pie is gone, broke, like man just
back from the Wichita convention.
The "crime of 49," the exception
clause in the eenback, the destruc-
tiOn of the 7:30 bonds, the resumption
act and the fire guard tax law are in
significant when compared with this
last outrage, this assault upon the
temple of liberty, this death blow to
popular government, the assessment
of kaffir corn by the trustees of Otta
wa county.
But let US not surrender. Let us
chip in and hire lecturers aud organ
izers who will plead for freedom at
moderate price and expenses. Let us
sweep the Shylocks from the earth
and from the other wards and pre-
cincts. Let us elect men for probate
judge and county attorney who will
tear the hideous mask from the face
of the conspiracy against the people.
Let us wade through blood to the
brides and raise that place which
Bob Ingersoll does not believe in.
Let the watchword be "Kafiir corn
and Liberty" Down with the Roths-
childs, the bankers of Lombard street
and the assessor of Ottawa county.
Kaffir corn must be restored to its
proper place in the currency of the
country ifit takes the heart blood of
patriots and the hides of the township
trustees.

KANSAS PRESS COMMENT.

Topeka Mail: The editor of the
johnson City Herald raked and scrap
ed and praticed lowly economy until
he had enough ahead to pay for fine
plum pudding. His wife made the
pudding and set it out on the porch
to cool, when a hound pup came along
and ate it all up. The editor of the
johnson City Herald then published
an editorial in which he demanded q
bounty of $40 on the scalps of hound
pups.
~
Del Valentine: Among tho able
Republican district judges who are
eligible under the constitution this
year to the position of chief justice
are Judge Benson, of Ottawa, and
Judge Stillwell, of Neosho county.
Both are splendid men with splendid
records. By the way, Judge Carver
of this court of appeals division would
be eligible.
Yates Center NeUs: r. T. Van
Horn of the Kansas City Journal,
was given his seat in congress and
his opponent, MIR. Tsrsney was sent
home to begin new campaign.
Chester 1. Long made the principal
speech for VanHorn and was COM
plimented by most of the other men,
bers. His argument revealed q pro-
found knowledge of law and usage in
contested election cases, and was q
surprise to those who knew nothing
of the days and nights of hard work
that he put in on the Gum case in
the winter of 1895.
-.
Laurence Journal: Charley Scott
says that when he was in Leaven-
worth he didn't see saloen, nor any
thing that looked like one. Several
other Kansas editors have said the
same thing of their visit. Is it pos
sible that the boys have lived in Kan
sas so long that they don't know a
saloon when they see one?
-.
Emporia Republican: One Kansas
editor says he didn't see any open
saloons in Leavenwortb, while there
recently attending the editorial meet
ing. Perhaps he stayed too long in
the first one. =
-
Del. Valentine: Marsh Murdock
is a Pop on, the money question, al
Democrat on the Mckinley bill, a
traitor to the prohibitory law, a crank
on woman suffrage, intOlerant of pol
iticai speech like a third party pro-
hibitiOnist, but. he is a Republican del
egate to the national convention and
it is every Republicans duty TO force
himself into harmony with the idio-
syncracies of this great man. If har-
mony means disgraceful surrender,
make the most ofit

MANAGEMENT OF HORSES.
An Iowa Mans Method OF Breaking Coils
to the Halter.

An Iowa Mans Method OF Breaking q Cole
to the Halter.
Having just finished some of that
kind of work, will give you my method.
Ny weanling colts had never been
handled, and having run with their
dams until midwinter, were wild as
deer. To secure them until they be-
came quiet enough to be haltered was
the problem. Take about 20 feet of
half-inch rope; knot one end, so there
will be no danger of its being pulled
out of your hand by the plunging of the
colt. On the other end fasten Il "a
inch halter ring, then tie knot in the
rope, leaving enough beyond it to en-
circle the colts neck when drawn taut.

OLD AGE HOMES.


How They Are Conducted In Austria-The
Inmates and Regulations.
Such of the old people as have clothes
of their own or have friends willing to
provide them with clothes wear them,
while the less fortunate are supplied by
the poor law department with what they
require. IN the latter case the dress,
though as plain as possible, is warm and
comfortable and of the kind worn By the
artisan class-of gray or brown homesI IN
or dark culOrgd sggCv. 1t is not uniform.
Indeed. ~ it is made i'll the building il is
exceedingly probable that they who wear
it-aG least il they DO woln8n-haye a
voice in deciding its faGon. With the OK
cepTion of the invalids, all are required to
keep their clothes in good repair and to
pay certain amount Of attention to their
own personal appearance. These arc
points which, especially in Ni,Ana, are
strongly insisted upon, for the city does
not choose to have its old pensioners going
about dirty or in rags. The hall porter
has strict orders to allow no one TO 90 out
until he has 'tidied up" and this regUIa-
ton is warmly approved of by the major
ity Of the inmates themselves. To an out
slider it certainly seems supertluous, for
most of the old people are the very pict ire
of ne"tness. They all appear 10 have a
good supply of clothes.
One of the inmates of the Prague home
insisted on showing me his wardrobe. In
addition to the rough gray suit he was
wearing, he had pair Of dark trousers
ard waistcoat, black coat and a long
bIEr overcoat, all in thoroughly good CON
dition. He had, too under his care a siIk
gown, which he displayed with Infinite
pride. 1t was his wifes wedding dress,
he told me. His wife, who lives in an
other wing of the building, had, it sec. rs,
handed it over to him for greater SAT- ~.
She always wears it, though, of cou Sc,
when we pay visits, - he remarked il.ci
dontally. One of the laundry regulat5 ms
of the homes sounds in English ears IS Il
sorry jest, yet perhaps, after all, it has its
raisun d'utrc. Tho inmates are waE ed
that it is only their bed linen and cloi mes
that are washed free OF charge-not their
putzwaschc-i. e., lace frills and flu be-
lows!-Ninetoenth Century.

THE MANX CATS.
and How They Were Deprived of Their
Tails by the Devil,


One of the most unique and characters
tic features of the zoology Of the isle of
Man is its t;i.lcss cats. Every cat iancicr
in the world, and every other person who
mas paid any particular attention 10 either
the ancient or modern history of the Brit
iSh isles. knows that tho AIanx cat is n
real feline in every respect except in that
of curtailcd caudal appendage. Why that
particular species of the cat family should
be so peculiarly marked is mystery which
is not accounted for in anything but the
Manx legend of the first Of the ti.tlleSs,
and then the mystery is not entirely cleared
up.
The Manx cat legend, which is probably
known TO every man, woman and child on
the isle Of Man, IS as follows: a cave on
the island was once inhabited by witch,
vino, in order to keep up the reputation
which such creatures have, kept a large
cat This particular cat, like the dogs Of
St. Bernard, was occasionally sent out on
errards of mercy. The old witch, as all
witches were formerly supposed to do, had
reno,nced the Almighty and prayed only
TO the evil one acknowledging him mt all
times rs her sovereign lord and master.
On Il particular evening his majesty the
devil appeared to the witch and rumon-
strated with her because the cat had been
sent with medicines tied around its neck
to the hut of certain sick woman, satan
claiming that he had been cheated out OF
his lawful prey by the salutarY effect the
drugs had had upon the patient. Before
his maio>t! departed for the informal re
gions he warned the witch to keep the
philanthropic cat nj home in the future.
Wholly disrcgardins this command, the
old witch forthwith SET about preparing
some soup which she hoped to send by the
cat to tho sick lady shat night But the
devil, expecting to be deceived watched
near the cnlraLcc of tha cage and made
an attempt 80 catch the cat, and thus
thwnrt the designs of tho benevolent old
witch As the cat passed. on is GRAND the
devil attempted 10 grasp it, but only sue
cccdrd in catching The tail. The cat made
& great effort To escape and in 50 doing
pulled its t3il of ciuSr up to the body.
Since that day, in consequence of the ut.
tempt to battle the evil one, all MlanX cat
have been bora tailless.-St. Louis Re
