WILD horses are getting SO numer-
GUS in the panhandle that they are a
nuisance and shot like coyotes. They
lead away tame horses that belong to
the cowmen and grangers, and &C
cording to the Beaver Herald, when
domesticated horse once gets with
a wild bunch it is an all days Job,
and sometimes it takes several days
to catch him. The LATEST old crow
bait alive, or the gentlest family
horse, after associating o few days
with these mustangs, all the old time
wildness of his forefatSers seem to
crop out in him, and. although for
merly he may have allowed himself
to be caught anywhere he will not
then permit man to get within a
half mile of him. About the only
way to recover horse of this kind is
to run the entire bunch down and
corral them or rope the ones wanted.

THIS is rather inopportune time
for Senator Chandler to make his as
sault on the gold standard. The
only progressive nation in the world
Japan, which was on the silver basis,
is taking measures to put it's cur
rency on a gold foundation. Japan
was little slow in following the
United States, England, Germany,
France and the other enlightened
countries, but the gold tide was too
strong for her, and she has to come
over to us. The statesman who at
tacks the gold standard these days
leaves himself as open to the suspi-
cion of mental arrangement as the
scientists would who would assail
the Copernican theory in astronomy.

ACCORDING to reports from that re
gion, the South is beginning to feel
the business awakening which il
making its appearance in many quar-
tiers. Naturally, however, the states
in which the Republicans are either
in a majority. or in which they are SO
near a ma ority that elections in them
are doubtful, as Kansas, and Tennes
see, are the first to respond to the
improved conditions. Prosperity
will be difused pretty widely through
the country before it strikes South
Carolina or Mississippi.-Globe-

ST. LOUIS begins to figure some
what extensively in the orders fol-
steel rails which the drop in prices
has brought out. The beneficial eff
fects of the breaking of the rail pool
are likely to continue for a year OF
two, or perhaps for a much longer
time. Prices are gradually strength
ening, and new combination within
the next few mouths is among the
probabilities, but the rates of two or
three weeks ago will not be touched.
The lower range of prices will con-
tinue. and purchases will be kept up.
This means general revival in the
steel industry.-Globe Democrat.

Net Political Autecrat or Dictator.
Hon. Lucien Baker, United States
Senator from Kansas, addresses a
letter to the Leavenworth Times on
government patronage. Mr.. Baker
says principle and not pelf or selfish
ness, should control in all political
affairs aad party conduct. He thinks
civil service is carried too far. His
views are sound and will be COM
mended by every patriotic citizen.
The Republican party is held togeth-
er by principle rather than the CO
hesive power of plumber, he says.
Mr.. Baker explains his position in
the matter of Kansas appointments,
and says he has no ambition to be
political autocrat or dictator. These
terms are offensive to him. He wants
good men for Office and will recon-
mend no other kind. Perhaps with
q view of checking undue haste inre
gard to applications for Office, Mr..
Baker says: "Mr. Mckinley has
given it out cold and flat. that but
very few appointments will be made
until after the expiration of the
special session which will probably
begin in March and end in July"

Ar the present time car load Of
25 thousand pounds of gilt edge but
ter is worth about 81 800 in central
Kansas; SO is one hundred carloads
of corn of 25 thousand pounds each
worth about a, 800. It is very much
cheaper to pay freight on one car
load than on one hundred car loads.
Freight charges are never considered
excessive on articles of small bulk
and large value while they are always
burdensome on small values in large
bulk. That's why it pays to concen-
trate product out here.-Abiline Re-

Milk For q Creamery.

Thomas Parker, of the Shady
Grove (Hutchinson) creamery, and
perhaps does the most extensive
creamery business in the state, has
issued circular letter to his patrons
in which ne says:
''The herd is the foundation of the
whole dairy business. Much depends
upon tho feed and care of the COW,
but unless you have a good COW you
need not expect great returns.
It is very necessary that COWS
should have clean, pure water. They
should be fed healthy food or grass
regularly. Rag weed, wild onions or
musty hay will make the milk taste
of the same. A hard pine water tank
will impregnate milk kept in cans in
it. A dead carcass in pasture will
impregnate milk if the COW gets the
odor. Cows should be kept in clean
stables and yards. They should be
MIXED clean and as fast as possible.
Milk should be strained as soon as
MIXED, and placed in q cool, open
vessel, and occasionally stirred until
the animal heat disappears. Milk is
very susceptible to foreign odors. 1t
will take the odors of a barnyard,
hog pen or anything foul within it's
reach. A large water tank would be
a good place to put your milk cans
in and strain the milk in the cans
after milking. Do not strain the
mornings milk in the cold nights
milk as it would turn both sour. If
you cool your mornings milk in
another vessel it will mix without
doing any injury. Try to keep your
milk at a degree of SIS or 60.
Pure. sweet milk, properly handled,
will make the best butter. It is i'm
possible to make fine butter out OF
milk that has bad odors, or is impure.
One careless patron might be the
cause of spelling a whole batch OF
butter. Ny experience is that there
is less difficulty in running dairy
here in Kansas than any other state.
Green feed can be raised in album
dance. Kafir corn, millet, alfalfa,
sweet corn and such feed may be
raised and fed while green to good
advantage. Nothing makes better
butter than the native prairie grass
es."

that he is q public officer who is

people of this district like the Judge
and do not desire him legislated out

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Anent Senator Wolcott's visit to
Europe, in the interest of interna-
tional bimetallism, the English dc
not take kindly view to the pro-
posed scheme, for the reason that the
increased tariff duties proposed by
the Mckinley administration will in :
fict serious damage to British trade.
The reason is also urged that i'm
provement in trade has given the
movement set back. Senator VOL
colt, however, looks hopefully upon
the prospect Of international bimet
alism.
McKinley's late sickness is attrib-
uted to the persistence of tho hungry
horde of Office seekers. who have be-
sieged his home since the day OF his
election. In fact, the President elect
has been on great strain since the
day of his nomination.
Senator Chandler, the lingo states
man, is weighing heavily on the Re-
publican party. The Senator has
lately "broken out" again.
Populists from Texas are moving
into Mexico; and Northern Populists
are about to move into Texas. Texas.
and Mexico would be grand countries
for colonization.
Just think of it, in another week
the days of Grover will be over, and
Mckinley will step in. The suspense
has been long and agonizing, but we
shall enjoy the change all the more.
Kansas City is enforcing the law
against public expectoration. Spit
ting at the union depot will be pre-

must be on his guard against the |
habit.

The possibilities of the COW in Gray
county are hardly appreciated by the
generality af farmers. There are
various systems of COW culture, any
of which may be made successful if
the farmer will give his attention and
best judgment to the matter as any
successful business man does to his
business. A "slipshod" way of
working in any line of work will not
bring good results. There must be
attention or failure. Which shall it
be?
Inattention, which is another name
for carlessness, costs more than vigi-
lance and discretion both together.
For instance, man in this town has
a COW that takes care of herself. She
does not recognize her home, or.
rather, shuns the milking place, for
her owners presence in not pleasant
to her. lie las often to hunt her up
at milking time and often fails to
find her. Being vexed because of
her dereliction, as he looks ut it, no
hurries her home with more or less
abuse; and she, feeling her abuse,
does not give her milk freely. hence
gets bad name. She not only has
poor name, but she is poor in flesh.
If accidents happen to cattle in the
town, it is generally to the COW that
takes care of herself; hence it is pro-
verbal that when a train kills cow
it is poor mans COW.
We are told there is COW in CHM
AKRON that knows her owner wherever
she sees him; knows his voice when
ever he speaks to her; knows her
home and enjoys it when she is there;
and this is her monthly financial re-
port:
Butter sold besides that used
in the family, 16lbs at 124 81 90
Milk sold, average, 36qts at 4c l A
Milk for pigs, II gal per day
for 30 days, As gal, &c 90
Milk, cream and butter for the
family, cooking and table, 5
cents day / 30
Total proceeds for month IS "a

To 40 lbs. bran at IS 81
To salt, 4 lbs, at 1c "a
Total expense for month 81 56
Net proceeds for month s. %
This COW is quite an ordinary COW.
We have said there are various sys-
TENS of COW culture that may be
made successful. Now we invite COR
respondence from farmers all over
the county who are more or less en-
gagged in the cattle business -Repub
lican.

YANKEE CLANS UNPROTECTED.
View Workers May Lawfully Eat Them In Their

The dismissal by Civil Justice Bolts Of an
action brought by the State to recover penalty
Of 800 from Flavius j. Allen. proprietor Of the
Astor House, for having in his possession clans
less than an inch thick in the shell. was affirmed
yesterday by the Appellate Term Of the Supreme
Court. Justice McAdam writing the opinion.
On Sept 10 last Edgar Hickes and J. w. Lisk.
two State inspectors went to the Astor House.
one ordering oysters and the other small clans
on the shell. While they were being served they
reached over and took four small clans which
were in a tub Of cracked ice back of the bar on
which they were about to be served. They did
not wait for what they had ordered, but an
nounced who they were and said they desired to
measure in the presence Of the manager the
CLAIMS they had taken. The manager did not
come. so. after waiting while, they went over
to the cashier and measured the clans before
him. At the trial IL was conceded that the de-
fendant had clans less than an inch thick on
that date. 1t was then shown that the small
clans had been caught about Sorwalk Harbor,
Conn. The act says:
mo rake. tongs dredge. or other device shall
be used for taking hard or round clans with
spaces or openings between the teeth or prongs
OF less than one inch. and no hard or round
clans less than one inch in thickness shall be
caught or possessed. but, Ii caught, shall be
returned to the water from which they were
taken. without unnecessary injury.
violation of tho act is punished as misde-
meanor. and makes the violator also subject to
fine of 800 for each offence. The act is section
l9l of The Laws Of 1885 Justice McAdnm says
State, not the CLAIMS OF Connecticut The court
cannot by mere implication make the possession
OF such shelltlsh from another State a matter of
liability. 1t would be hard says the Court, to
compel the return OF these shelfsh to the waters
in which they were caught, and 1t would not
help the clans OF this State to do 1t.

Long Island Water Company's Appeal Defeated
by the United states Supreme Court.
The city Of Brooklyn has been successful again
In the protracted litigation with the Long Island
Water Supply Company. the United States Su-
preme Court having yesterday upheld the dec.
sions OF the Court Of Appeals in the case. The
company had franchise to supply the old town
Of New Lots with water and about six years ago
Mayor Chaplin made arrangements to purchase
the franchise and plant for the city for 81 800.
900. William Zieglcr stepped In with tax
payers suit and stopped the purchase by injunc-
tion proceedings. II was alleged that the price
was extortionate and that the sale was intended
to benefit some favorite politicians who had got
possession OF the stock. 1t was mainly in fight
ing the water deal that William ]. Gaynor ac-
quired his reputation and paved the way for his
subsequent elevation to the Supreme Court
bench.
All the courts sustained Mr.. Ziegler's conten-
ton. and then commission was appointed un-
der a legislative enactment to Fix the value Of
the property by condemnation proceedings. The
value was finally fixed at S575, 700. The com.
panys efforts to have this award set aside were
unsuccessful, and as q last resort an appeal was
made to the United States supreme Court on
the ground that tho rights OF the company, &C.
cured by the Constitution Of the United States.
had been violated. The city will now have no
further obstacle In the acquisition of the
property.

x-RlY BURNS.


They occur, says an Expert. Only When the
Creehes Tuscs Are Used InpropeEiy.
w. II. Moadowcroft Of tho Edison works at
Harrison, N. j.. road with interest tho story
printed In THE Sun in regard to the injuries
suffered by Mrs. s. II. Sharpsteen Of Bingham
ton from exposure TO X rays. In his opinion tho
injuries were caused by exposures improperly
made.
"In Wow Of the great benefits that have been
and are uaily being derived by tho use of the x
rays" he says In letter TO THE SUN, II think
It would be very unfortunate indeed to have tho
public obtain the impression that any exposure
to the X rays is liable to produce burns and
ulcers. 1t is true there have been few cases.
but these have resulted from unusually pro-
longed exposures, or exposures improperly made.
Tho trouble in the Sharpsteen case appears
to have been due to the improper placing OF the
Crookes tubc in relation to Mrs. Sharpsteen's
body. Tho story in this mornings Sun states
that the tube was about four inches away from
tho skin. and the exposure was made for thirty
nine minutes. II Is not at all surprising, IL this
statement is correct, that Mrs. Sharpsteon suf-
fcred from X-ray burns For picture such as
was made. tho Crookcs tube ought to have been
placed at a distance Of from eighteen inches
to two feet from tho body, and with an eX-
ha G Tie nsh %s il Of /, S
able that any Injurious effects whatever would
have resulted
~ have been constantly engaged In X-ray
work since January, 1896. have boon in the
habit OF working around Crookes tubes for
varying periods of time almost every day Except
Sundaysj since that time and have never had
the slightest indication OF X-ray burn my
own person, although very frequently / am en-
gagged In the vicinity OF excited Crookos tubes
for several hours at a time This Is also the case
with three or four OF my assistants. and not one
OF us has suffered. for the reason that VIC do not
let any part OF our bodies remain in such close
proximity to an excited Crookes tube for 80 long
a time as is described In the case Of Mrs. Sharp
steen.
"Since January, 1896, I have taken over one
hundred X-ray pictures OF different parts of the
body, but have never had single case Of X-ray
burn. This is also true Of some other operators
OF my acquaintance. Such burns can only re-
suit by reason Of the Crookcs tube being placed
in close proximity to the body and after a pro-
longed exposure. Generally speaking, II Is not
now necessary to expose for 30 long a period of
time as thirty-nine minutes. Only about ten
days ago made an excellent radiograph through
the body OF heavy man. measuring from forty
to forty-four inches around the chest, in seven
minutes with the tube nearly two feet away
from the body.
In view OF the valuable aid to surgery that
the use of the Y ray Offers, would suggest that
THE Sun would render n substantial benefit to
the people at large by investigating this subject
and proclaiming the real truth as to the remote
danger"
