from the other cities over the state. He
said.that he was proud of the delegation
and proud that he could say that ne was
a citizen of a city which showed herseil
so well among the others He did not
wish tC be understood as casting any re-
flec.:op whatever upon any other city
represented. but only felt that he was
well pleased by the fine showing made
by the city of Wichita
Mayor Cox, Fire Marshal Walden, City
Treasurer Finlay Ross and also the
otrers who went. showed themselves 10

BORE ABOUT TEXAS HOGS
There are Many of Them Here aud They
are Doing Finely.

Texas hogs are still appearing at the
stock yards in great numbers and nnd
a ready sale Ed Healy has man in
Texas gathering them up and has al
ready sold over / 900. The other conf
mission men are handling them in equal
r. large numbers. In speaking about
them last night Mr.. Healy said:
"One day, few weeks ago, received
a letter from a man in Texas telling me
ne had a large number of hogs for eale.
He quoted me the prices on two-year-
oIds and three-year-olds. / never in all
my life heard hogs quoted that way be-
fore and.I thought sure he meant cattle.
I read the letter over five or six times
And / finally sent q man down to investi-
gate You ought TO hear him talk. He
says there is not grain OF corn down
there. and he found the hogs eating old
dry grass and hay and everything they
could get hold Of.
How do you get 'em up here?'
"They come in double deck cars, and
they are a sight to behold. They are
as long and thin as snake and some
times upon their arrival they are so hun
CRY that they can hardly stand on their
feet. You can take a hog with frame
for 500 pounds Of meat and maybe he
will not weigh more than seventy
bounds. Some OF the biggest ones you
can take 'em in your hands and III;
them up easily"
Are the hogs you have sold doing
wen?"
Il have heard about them frequently
and all Of them are doing fine / have
not heard a complaint from any OF them.
They are getting on fat rapidly and the
change Of climate and conditions have
not affect them a bit"

Key to a Peplexing Situation.

The Presidential campaign upon
which the country has already en-
tered presents the most complex
political situation which has been
witnessed IN the United States
since the Civil War. The Repub-
l,can and Democratic parties are
shaken to their centers by clashing
opinions upon the silver question.
The Popullst party, and the posi-
blllty If not probability of a dis
tlnct free coinage party with a
Presidential ticket of It's own,
serve to increase the confusion
and %perplexlty In which even intel.
llgent and candid observers find
themselves. 1t is at such a time
that the reader of Public Opinion
appreciates the value of a paper
that gives HIM a fair, unbiased
we'll proportional statement from
week to week of the facts and OF
the drift of discussion. PubHc
Opinion gives Its readers a great
deal more than this, but this Is the
thing for which 1t will be especial
" sought during the next eight
months. Send a postal card TO the
Public Opinion Co., New York
City, for sample copy and prem
ium offers, or call at this Office for

A Queer Coin.

Fully half of the grown-up people Of
France believe the old story that
Napoleon Bonapart put a check for 1907
600 francs in silver s.franc piece ard
the coin is yet in circulation. They say
that the people did not want the 5-franc
piece, and that in order to create a de-
mand for it Napoleon resorted to the
device mentioned. The check or treas
ury order, 1t is said, was written upon
asbestos paper and inclosed in the metal
at the time the coin was made tt ou-
sands of s-ftanG pieces are annually
broken open and have been so inspected
since the story of the check was first
circulated.
