SAYS SECRETARY BARNES TO KAN
SAs HORTICULTURISTs.
PLEA FOR FRUIT AND FLOWERS.
PROGRAMME OF ANNUAL MEETING
OF STATE ASSOCIATION.
Several Leading HOrticulturists OF
the Country Slated for Addresses
-Great Value of Fruit and
Vegetable PrOducts-
Kansas News.

Topeka. Kas.. Nov. 12.-(Special) Sec
retary w. H. Barnes. of the Kansas State
Horticultural Society, to-day made public
the programme for the annual meeting of
the association. to be held in this city on
December 2S-30. Some of the leading hor-
tculturists of the country are slated for
addresses.
For the purpose of awakening interest
among the horticulturists of Kansas, Sec
retary Barnes has given out some facts
concerning that industry In the official pro-
gramme. He says:
There is no more important industry in
our state. Nothing SO conduces to long
life, clear heads, active bodies and social
happiness diet. And the more it is va
ried with fruits and vegetables, and the
more our homes are surrounded by fruits.
flowers. lawns and shade trees, the great
er our chances of living useful, happy lives.
Our tables, at a value of only cent per
meal. demand sl50OO.O 900 worth of fruits and
vegetables. We annually send out of the
state 5000 600 worth more, making $40. 900 600
for horticulture. This is nearly three times
as much as all the wheat we grew in 1896,
or four times all the oats We grew in 1896.
We ought to grow 50 per cent of all the
horticultural products We consume; but do
We? If our housewives demanded Kansas
fruits and vegetables. the Kansas horti-
culturists would spring to the demand.
and grow better produce and more of it..
But if We demand Colorado potatoes.
onions and melons. Michigan celery, New
York grapes and apples. California ripe and
dried fruits, and canned goods from any
where and everywhere but home. and de-
preciate and ridicule Kansas products, we
cannot expect improvement.
I'VE meet to learn. The farmer labors
and saves to school his children. and tries
to gain his own knowledge by actual ex-
perience: the county and state horticult-
ural societies are schools where he may ac-
Quire knowledge-valuable in his business
by listening to the actual experience of his
fellow farmer"

EXPECTING GOOD NEWS.
American sympathizers With the Cu-

Sensational Story.

Washington. Nov. 12-Cuban sympathiz-
ers in Washington are looking for sensa-
t.onal news from the island. They have
received from sources in which they have
confidence the information that active op-
eIaticns will be undertaken by the insur-
gent leaders. Nothing in detail Is given,
but a series of hard blows Is to be dealt.
A feeling of cheerful hopefulness seems
to pe-vade the whole body of sympathizers
Everybody in Washington knows the ad-
ministration is going no further than 10
Insist that concentration horrors shall
cease. The friends of the Cubans rea 'ize
that the presidents policy is non-interf r
Gree for the present, at least and that
trouble with Spain is to be avoided. New
ertheless the friends of the Cubans are
predicting that before the winter is over
the island will be free. Nowhere among
TIE sympathizers does there seem to be any
sentiment in favor of autonomy. The pred o.
tion is made with emphasis that the lead
ers on the island will stcadfastly reject ali
efforts to open negotiations and that they
will Eush the fighting harder than ever.

KANSAS SCHOOL TAXES.
Stryker Gives Out
Figures to Support His
Contention.

Contention.
Topeka. Kas., Nov. 12.-(SpeciaL) In or
der to support his contention for a more
equitable system of taxation for school
purposes. Superintendent Stryker to-day
gave out some more figures concerning the
schools of the state. According to them
there are 146 schools that have three
months term. $40 that have four months.
7S9 that have five months. 2.767 that have
six months, 2,436 that have seven months,
1,.44 that have eight months, 323 that have
nine months, and seventeen that have ten
months. He"wants it adjusted SO that the
rural schools of the state will have the
same length Of term.
The taxation figures show great dis
crepancies. For instance. the records in
the superintendents office show that
there are Sss districts in the state where
the tax levy is below mills, 1868 in which
the tax levy runs from to 10 mills. PIT
in which the levy is between 10 and Is
mills. SAG in which the levy runs from Is
to 20 mills and SIC where the levy is just
20 mills. the limit allowed by law. To
overcome this condition, the superintendent
wants state and county tax levy. In
this way he says that the system will be
equalized.

At Howards room. on Locust street. a can
