The East Side dumping ground

The West side Is perfectly willing

CRADLE EMPTY BABY GONE"
Daddy Edwards, the Gentleman who
Had Eight Years Experience in
Base Bail Matters Pulled His
Fraioht

Base ball IN Little Rock has got
ten to low tide
We find the league team there
playing with a colored club and liv-
ing on half rations, and their man
ager Harry Edwards gone, and with
him the pay rolls and money, if
there was any, in his hands,
The Arkansas Gazette says this
regarding the condition of the
league club Of that place
When Harry Edwards gave up
the Little Rock team he was owing
them salaries aggregating S25995,
as follows, Abbott, $l3; Graney,
S8,ll; ST. Clair S2G Is; Klig, $33 80;
Reese, Sl3lOj Qulgg, $l475; Ed
dinger, 1872; Graham, 81, LipseN
$780, Waldrop, $l335, Starnagle
$2S, aud Hodge 50. This IN addi-
tion to accounts due the Dickinson
Arms Company Chas, S, Stiff and
others, The account due Mr.. Stiff
is for the trophy won by the locals
and for the payment Of which the
people subscribed upwards Of $40
but the funds were otherwise ut.
iliaed by Mr. Edwards lie Is not in
the city, aud none Of his friends is
advised Of bis whereabouts. The re-
suit Of his management Is that the
ball players are stranded here, with
the exception Of Abbott and Gran
ey who are playing at Cairo, The
games Of the past few days did not
draw well enough to much more
than pay the boys wages for the
days played and in order to help
themselves they have arranged a
match game for Friday
Yesterday the game resulted In a
defeat Of the blacks over the whites
3 to2, the coons retiring before
they played out the last half Of the
ninth because Of rank decisions Of
the umpire In favor Of the whites,
A truce was patched up after the
game and the two clubs will play
again today, If 'Dad' and his men
had only remained with Texarkana
aud Fort Smith, they would not
have to hunt up negro clubs to
play with,

is not generally appreciated. Pig weed
occurs In many fields all over this
country, but the average American
does not know Its value as a food plant.
It is eaten by the Indians Of the South
west and by the people Of Mexico. In
some parts of California 1t Is cultivated
by the Chinese.
Poke weed is used locally in some
parts Of the South, but It's more gem
eral use would be gratifying to the
economic botanists Of the Department
of Agriculture. The French people
have introduced this plant into their
country, and esteem it highly.
The department thinks 1t probable
that common nettle, milk weed and
round-lOafed mallOw will come to be
regarded as good food.
The suggestions made by the de-
partment may be offensive to some
people, but then 1t wasn't so very long
ago when the tomato, or "love apple"
was thought to be poisonous, when the
cucumber was looked upon as fatal
dose, and when the people Of the North
were prejudiced against the banana

That monopoly or right to tax the peo-
pie OF Chicago scent fare instead OF
/ cent (as the charge would be IL the
people were to run the government in
stead Of private individually is worth,
IL worth anything, S100,00O,O0O. That
is, the people must pay rent for the use
Of their own streets to such an extent
that II will pay dividends on over $780,
100000 Of land values above a fair in
terest on real capital invested and
wages to labor. And this Is only one
illustration out OF thousand.
Every merchant, business man,
farmer, miner, railroad man, labOrer,
blacksmith or shoemaker; every editor,
school teacher, preacher or lawyer;
every carpenter, brlcklayer and every
man, woman and child making up the
70,000,000 people In our country en-
gagged in productive work pay tribute
or rent to 250,O0O men who own or con-
troll 80 per cent. Of all the land values
in the United States.
"Then IL land values are caused by
increase Of population and new pro-
cesses of production, the same being
reflected in good government, why not
tax land values to meet the expenses
of government aud remove all taxes,
fines and restrictions from labor and
the products of labor?
with increase of population and in
creased powers Of production the land
monopOlist is taking a larger share Of
the products Of labor and real capital.
Thus we see that as rent goes up, wages
and interest fall. The more the land
speculator takes the less there is to
divide between labor and capital"
But how are we going to stop these
few men from collecting this rent and
making all Of us tenants"
''The first question to be decided is
To whom does economic rent belOng?"
ITO those who produce it, as a mat
ter of course"
IF there were no people or goVen-
ment In the United States, land would
not have much value, would it?'
Certainly not"

Examining a Horse.

There are great many occult de-
fects, the st. Louis Journal of AgricuI-
ture says, in the horse that are hard
to detect, but which come to the sur
face after the purchase, when circum-
stances occur to render them obvious.
For this reason horse should be ex-
amined under all the varying circum-
stances possible. He should be tried
in harness, in the halter, under saddle
and In all possible ways See how he
goes when he backs. Many a bright
eye Is useless so far as vision Is con-
cerned. Some defects only appear
when the horse is standing still He
should be examined in this way to see
whether his attitude is firm and square,
or whether he faV0rs one or other Of his
feet, The horse that straddles behind
is apt to have weak loins. The ears
are good indication of bad temper.
Watch for blemished knees, which in
dicate stumbling habit. The cOndi-
tion Of the hide is a good test of the
digestive power. A smart squirt of a
mile will often betray weaknesses that
would be undiscovered but for this.
In thousand and one ways horse or
his owner can often fool even a good
hOrseman, and, with the best attention
and examination, buyer will often
find himself in possession of faulty
horse when he has paid the price of a
good one.

Of s3,9O9,S92. Jewell Is the foremost
county In value of poultry products
sold, with S11S,693 to her credit, fol-
lowed by Republic, Washington, Sum-
ner, Marshall and Marion, as named.
The largest gains have been made In
Jewell. Jackson and NeOsho counties.
It Is important that the soil be kept
we'll supplied with vegetable matter.
This can be done by using barnyard
manure literally, or occasionally grow
ing a rank crop OF some vegetation well
supplied with nitrogen, and then plOw-
ing under. For this purpose nothing
is better than COW peas, for they fur
nish the soil with an unusually large
amount Of nitgrOgen when treated as
has just been stated. Red clover also
Is good, If plowed under when in bloom.
There Is a certain per cent. Of soil
moisture which plants are wholly un-
able to withdraw from the soil with
sufficient rapidity to meet their needs,
and this amount is relatively larger In
the COarse-grained soils than 1t is In
the fine-grained ones. Now, when a
soil Of given texture has been sub
soiled, and its water-holdlng power
thereby increased this increased
amount Of water becomes almost
wholly available to crops, and IL this
amount would have been lost either by
percOlation downward or by evapora-
tion from the surface, then, in this re-
gard, the subsoiling has been a gain.

Are We All Tanants2

AGo Wo hlA 4duhuS
From an article by r. 7. Snediker,
in the Emporia Times, we clip the fol-
lowing:
my friend, do you know that over
81 per cent. of the people of this cOun-
try are tenants, compelled to give one
half they produce to landlords?"
mo, sir, don't know 1t, nor do not
believe 1t. l am no tenant own as
good farm as there is in the State
and l do not owe dollar on it,"
do you mean to say that you can
live in this world and do business with
out using railroad-lords, telegraph
lords, oil-lOrds, mineral-lOrds, sugar
lords and the good Lord only knows
how many more?
"Of course / have to use railroads,
and coal and OIL and sugar and many
other things, but that does not make
me tenant"
Let us see. Suppose you have 1000
bushels Of corn you wish to SELL what
does the railroad charge you to take
1t to market?"
About One-half of It,"
Suppose you wish to buy a carload
of lumber in Michigan or Wisconsin.
Will you not pay as much for freight
as you do for lumber"
"That Is true"
rs it not also a fact that the men
who furnish the capital and labor to
cut down the trees and saw them into
boards and joists, are compelled to pay
the timber-lOrds for the privilege Of
using natural God-glven resources,
some $5 for every thousand feet Of lum-
ber?"
Eyes, understand that is about the
stumpage value"
Then can you not plainly see that
in this instance, nearly three-fourths
OF what you have to give for lumber
goes to these two kinds Of landlords?"
Yes, it looks as though they were
getting the lions share"
"a few years ago when coal mines
were comparatively free-when any
one who wished to could mine coal-a
time when we had free competition |
and no strikes, the miners put coal on
barges, fioated them down the river to |
Cairo, tugged them to st. Louis, and |
delivered coal to consumers at $3.50
per ton, while the miners wages run |
from SO to So per day. Now, while the
process of mining and transportation |
have been decreased more than one
half, the consumers Of coal in st. Louis
must pay 81 to SO per ton and the
miners be content with $1.25 wages per
daY. WhV ia this2"
1T must be that a few men have the
coal land mOnopolized."
"That is the case plainly stated, The
timbered lands, oil lands, coal lands,
lands, railroad rights-of-way,
telegraph and telephone rights, public
watering and lighting, and even the
streets In the cities are mOnOpOllzed.
That Is the reason that Yerkes bought
the Governor and Legislature OF Illi-
