A WARNING TO sTocKMEN.
Secretary Coburn, of Kansas, Cautions
Farmers to Take No Chances on
SECOND Growth Sorghum.

Topeka. Kas., Nov. 3-(Special.) Secre-
tary Coburn, of the state board of agri-
culture. In discussing the occasional death
of cattle by eating second growth sor-,
ghum, said:
ut is evident there are many farmers
and stockmen who yet believe or argue
that, because they have seen cattle Craze
ON second growth sorghum without any
bad results. ii is. therefore. not dangerous.
In spite of this. there is abundant and
unquestionable evidence that. under some
conditions, which no one as yet fully un-
ierstands ii is about certainly and
quickly fatal as that most 1st,to-be-dreaded o..
doesn't know is loaded. For example. 1
recently saw in the newspapers that Mr..
A. l.. Hackerott. Of Alton. osborne county.
Kas., had lost thirty-one head OF Angus
cattle from eating second growth Kaffir
corn. / have inquired of hun for partcu
lars and he writes that the statement was
correct, except that It was second growth
that 1t was not frostbittcn. He says: The
cattle were not in the cane longer than
fifteen minutes, during which time thirty
one died. lying but few rods apart. Upon
examining the cane it was found to he

hand from Mr.. v. NJ. Combes. of Lebo,
Coffey county. teilS OF the loss OF Six
young cows from eating it, He had sown
last spring Kafiir corn for hog pasture; in
an old feed lot having very rich soil. The
hogs did not eat II well and about Sep
tember Is cattle were turned in and pas
tured 1t close to the ground. Then for
six weeks stock was kept wholly away
from IT and in this time innumerable green
shoots grew from the stubs. At night
his cattle found their way into this growth
and next morning the six cows were lying
near each other, stiff and dead Mr..

Such statements should serve to make
cattlemen extremely cautious about tax
ing chances on these second growth sor-
ghums. however tempting they may look
as pasturage, as they do at a time when
little else is SO green and iuxuriant. and
them when hungry and liable to eat raw
enously and gorge themselves. The same
Is. In a large measure. applicable with yef-
erence to turning hungry cattle on green
alfalfa. II such growths are wet with

DEPEW'S VIEW OF IT.

New York. Nov. 3.-Chauncey NJ. Depew,

We made the best possible fight. but tie
hope Of a victory against Tammany with
the anti-Tammany forces divided is almost
futile: The wonderful showing made by
Mr.. Low is surprising. to say the least.
Those who are inclined to view this eiec-
ticn in New York city as being of national
significance are away of in their reckon
ing. New York is a cosmopolitan city.
"The inhabitants of London are nearly
all English; the people of Berlin are Ger
mans solidly: the people of Paris. except
for small fraction, are French. New York
has only about 20 per cent of Americans:
that is. American-born. inhabitants. The
rest are from Europe and all parts of the
world. and they setain the habits. lam
guage and characteristics of their native
countries.

national significance: but, with an alarm

FAIR WORDS FROM VAN WICK.
Greater New York Mnyor-Elect Out
lines the Policy Which He
SnCs He VIII Pur~nc

New York. Nov. 3.--Robert A Van Wyck,
mayor-elect of Greater New York, said to-
day, regarding his policy:
'.As we begin this first year of Greater
New York there is much to do. Liberty
must be restored to the citizen, the pro-
lection of his rights must'be resumed. the
Eillage of public money must cease. ex-
tr&vagance must be discountenanced, waste
must stop, schools must be built. the
streets must be reclaimed from chaos, tax
teres. has too long governed this city; 1t
must give way to public good.
THE government of a city. as under
stand 1t. has naught of sentiment about II.
II is the merest business. We must get
the most good for the least money No
man must be oppressed. his liberty must
be protected, the broaa purposes of CITY
government must be carried out. the great
est good to the greatest number must ever
be the star TO steer by.
I'VE are overtaXed. This must be looked
to and the taxes trimmed down. When
every city need is met, the comforts and
luxuries we will get what We can. There
is nothing in the line of Improvement that
can make this city better to live in that
the people are not entitled to and do not
want. The New York public is not niggard-
age and Is willing to pay for them. What
the people do object to is waste, extrava-
gance and robbery. The efforts of trusts.
of monopolies. of combinations. whether
corporate or private, to control trade. choke
competition. and fleece the citizens by false
high prices will be withstood and beaten
down.
"As to such public outrages as fourished
under the Raines law. with all the spying
and sneaktng and mendacity that under It
grew up. cannot add a syllable to what
have already said. These crimes against
the people must disappear; these encroach-
ments upon individual liberty and private
rights must end. These are not the middle
ages. nor is the city of Greater New York
Venice in the dayS of the doges. A city
must have a city government: it cannot be
controlled by village rules or run on village
lines. The sooner some folks come out of
their dreams and realize these facts the
wiser, better. happier folk they'll be.
