Danger in Holding Stock.-Tbe
farmer who holds for rise" does NOT
always get it. He loses a double in
terest. for the farmer who has money
in hand can save twice the legal in
terest by buying all his needed winter
supplies in bulk and by paying cash
for them. After stock is ready for
market there is a probability that the
added cost of feeding will offset any
increase in value.

Silos.-Prof. Georgeson at the Kan.

i would like to indorse the question
of silos. We have had fifty-six head OF
cattle, which we wintered last year
and they were wintered for six months

acres or little less; all put in the silo.
They were fed an average of fortv
pounds of ensilage per day. We began
feeding it the latter part of October
and it lasted until the middle of Nav

that gait and it is delightful one for
a traveller If his steed walks four mr.

ST. Louis, Mo-, July 24.-The middle
of-the-road'' men had a lively caucus at
the Southern Hotel last night. The speak
ers claimed that the reason they were de-
feated on the permanent chairman issue
was because they had put up a man who
was unknown. At first there was strong
inclination toward a bolt, and a resolution
was introduced which declared for bolt
unless a straight, middle Of the -road''
ticket and platform were adopted.
Ex-Lieut. Gov. Gibbs, of Texas, made a
strong speech against the resolution. Other
speakers followed, urging the angry dele.
gates to go slow and do nothing radical
After two hours of debate the resolution
was Withdrawn. and a steering committee
was appointed TO lay out plan of actions
The '.middle- of-the-road" men have de-
termined to make strong fight on the plat

NEW BATHlhG BEACH PLAN
Supt. Stevens Presents It
to Commissioners.
COST OF THE IMPROVEMENT
The Matter Is Now Under Considera-
tiOn-Petitions and Requests for
Public WOrks-Minor District Mat
ters-Daily Orders Affecting the
Various Sections OF the City.

The District Commissioners today sub
nitted to the Hon. Daniel Lamont, secre-
tary OF War, a report made TO them by
the superintendent OF the bathing beach,
Mr.. w x. Stevens, OF the plan for the de-
velopment OF the Little Basin into a
bathing pool, with the request that he give
his assent to the details as set forth.
III 0esIrbing tne rea acu, mr.. stevens states
that "a very small area directly around the
basin III question, has not yet been filled
TO the level designed by the officers in
charge, because, previous to the present
act of Congress, it has been an open ques-
ton what should be done with that basin
1t was originally designed for flushing the
Seventeenth street sewer, but has never
been connected Herewith, and now that
the sewer is to be discontinued, the tasin
is not needed.
1T would cost the government $27 900
to fill up and destroy it, or it would cost
$50, 1000 TO wall 1t around like the rest
OF the water front. The saving OF that
amount or money to the government Is an
economic feature which had much weight
In inducing Congress TO grant the Little
Basin to this city as a bathing pool"
RAISE THE BANKS.
Mr.. Stevens suggests that before the
work OF grading the bottom of the pool
is begun the banks aud the low grounds
surrounding should be raised up TO the
established level of the flats.
Tue CO. operation OF the chief engineer is
solicited in executing the plans, including
the raising or the banks as proposed, leay-
ing the mouth of the basin forty feet wide
between the dirt banks; preserving the
trees, and other details practically as set
forth in description of the premises pub
lished several weeks ago in The Times
MIR. Stevens proposes that the appropria-
ton Of $4,000 be used to clear the basin
OF Instructions; to grade a portion OF the
northwest side as u public driveway along
the waters edge, and to grade the rest
OF the shore at a slant of l to 10 from
high tide line inward to where the water
shall be four feet deep at the established
level, the bottom thereafter TO be of evne
grade to the edge OF the driving pool
mt which it shall he four and one-h half feet
deep.
The plans, as heretofore published in
The Sunday Times, are deliberately set
forth, and the approval of them by the
Secretary OF War is solicited.

New York, July 24.-The agitation about

st. Louis, July 24.-The middIe-of-the-

strated much more enthusiasm than ca
pacity for organized effort, appear TO be
entirely demoraiized by their crushing de-
feat yesterday. They now admit that the
nomination of Bryan is a foregone conclu-
sion. but are trying to save something out
OF the wreck by substituting candidate of
their own choice for Vice President in
place OF Sewail.
The agreed upon program Is to submit a
minority report from the committee on
rules, giving the selection OF Vice Presi-
dent precedence i'll the order of the bu5-

fiery speeches. both for and against a bolt,
but there WIS no definite decision, the

The plan that finally met with most favor
was for all the delegates to remain in the
convention until the end, and call con-
vention OF their own, to assemble imme-
diately after the adjournment for the pur-
pose of nominating a straight Populist
candidate on the Omaha platform, with

OLD SOLDIERS TO ORGANIZE.
The convention took up the veteran sol
dier resolution and it was decided to call
the Toll OF States that the chairmen of
delegations mi gfIt announce the number OF
veterans in each State delegation. The
call resulted IN showing 1876 Union soldiers,
1S CoDfederates and Mexican soldiers
represented in the convention
Out OF the roll call grew a suggestion,
which crystallized into motion which was
agreed to, that the old soldiers and sailors
OF the Union, Confederate and Mexican
war armies form the basis OF an organiza-
ton within the party for campaign pur-
poses to save the Union.
Mrs. Helen Cougar called meeting of all
the ladies present for this afternoon to
form a woman's national silver league.

and waving hats, handkerchiefs and flags.
1t was the most enthusiastic ovation OF the
convention.
