The Stock Breeders Annual Meeting.

The Kansas Improved Stock Breeders
Association and the Swine Breeders
Association held a joint session in this
city on Tuesday and Wednesday of last
week. 1t was the largest and most inter
esting meeting ever held by these So
cieties. The papers and discussions
were very interesting and instructive.
The committee appointed on the CLASH
tiCation of swine reported a new sched-
ule, which was adopted. The following
resolutions were fully discussed and
adopted:
Resolved, That we demand that stock
be billed at single rates and that the $40
valuation on hogs be abolished.
That stock by express be sent the
shortest and quickest route, even if
transfer is necessary, and without ex-
cessive charges.
"That billing at owners risk be abol-
ished.
That we recommend shipping by
freight where practical and until ex-
press companies make better rates"
The question of holding a State fair
was favorably discussed by all and the
matter was placed in the hands Of the
following committee: G. NJ Irwin,
Wichita; Geo. w. Click, Atchison S.
A. Sawyer, Manhattan; c. F. Hutchin-
son, Belleville; o. P. Updegraff, Topeka;
E. w. Melville, Eudora; E. D. King,
Burlington; J. H. Bayless, Norcatur; T.
M. Potter, Peabody, and W. N. Allen,
Meriden.
A sale of swine was held by some of
the members on Wednesday afternoon
and very satisfactory prices were re-
ceived. 1t was decided to have an ex-
hibitiOn of swine at the next annual
meeting.
The regular annual banquet was held
at the Hotel ThrOop on Wednesday ev-
ening at which 100 stockmen sat down

The New Bridge Open.

The new Kansas avenue bridge is
open to the public. 1t Is apparently
very satisfactory bridge. 1t was tested
by placing enormous loads on the va
rious arches and no lack Of strength
was shown. The bridge is much wider
than the old one, the roadway being
twenty-eight feet. This enables teams
to pass each other. One good feature
Of the bridge is that there is no reason
why one can't drive as fast as he
chooses. To the people of North To-
peka, who have grown weary Of the
old unsightly, unsafe structure, the
completion of the new bridge means
much.

FARMERS ASSEMBLE.
Kansas Tiller Of the Soil Have a Success
full Meeting,

The State Board of Agriculture held
it's twenty-seventh annual meeting in
Representative hail. at the State house,
on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
of last week. Ex-Governor Click, Pres
ident of the board, presided. The at
tendance was much larger than usual
and the program was one of the best ever
provided for these meetings. The ladies
were we'll represented in the most ex-
cellent papers, the Farmers Wife and
Daughter" by Mrs. Noble l.. Prentls,
and "A Little Journey In the World"
by Mrs. ]. B. Sims. Governor Leedy
delivered an address of welcome In
which he reviewed the industries Of the
State. President Click responded and
gave an encouraging and hopeful out
look for the agricultural interests.
Among the many excellent addresses
one of the best was by Hon. John W.,
Breidenthal, State Bank Commissioner,
on the Farmer and the Banker" in
which he counseled harmony and CO.
operation between these classes and said
that he had always observed that the
farmers paper was the best security
that the banks could possibly have.
Prof. f. c. Curtiss of the Iowa Agri-
cultural college, gave an interesting ad-
dress on the Practical Excellence in
Beef Cattle, in which he forcibly illus
trated the fact that the animal which
will produce the greatest number Of
pounds of the highest-priced beef is
the most profitable to raise. John e..
Frost, of Topeka, gave glowing ac-
count of the improving prosperity Of the
Kansas farmer. r. M. Allen, Of Ames,
Neb, who is feeding more cattle than
any other one man in the country, made
an interesting address on the Present
Situation in Beef Cattle" ]. H. Brig
ham, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture,
delivered very instructive address on
Agriculture in It's Relation to Other
Industries"
The board is entirely non-partisan
and appreciating the excellent services
rendered by the officers during the past
year reelected them for the ensuing
year, as follows:
President--George w. Click, Demo-
crat, Atchison.
Vice President-A. c. Shinn, Populist,

received many congratulations for the
success of his work in the past year.

comes home to many of those who have
heretofore been Indifferent, the signifi-
canoe of the annual event by which
survivors of the last war and their reIa-
tives set such store, and we may hope
that this year at least, Decoration Day
will not be turned into a carnival of
ball games. bicycle races and football
matches. The entire population of the
United States should this year make
Memorial Day one of universal obserya-
ton, for there will be graves of young
soldiers killed in battle to strew with
flowers, upon which the turf has not
yet had time to set, and there is a
possibility that before another year
rolls around many of the sons of Amer
lea will be lying dead in the lands of
Cuba and the Philippines, and that
there will never be given the opportun-
ity for the folks at home to lay an
odorous blossom upon the places where
they lie asleep. 1t should be the duty
of every good citizen to froWn upon
any effort to turn the day of days into
a picnic, or a time for sports and pas
times. Let US honor our dead of the
long ago and the dead of the struggle
that is now upon US, as is seemly and
fitting, not only TO their loving remem-
brance, but in honor of ourselves as
grateful and patriotic citizens of this
peerless republic.
AGAINST ANNEXATION NOW.
San Diego Union: There are indica-
tons that advocates of Hawaiian an
nexation taking advantage of the war
spirit, will make final effort to get the
sanction of Congress for their scheme.
This is foreshadowed in the action of
the House Committee on Foreign At
fairs yesterday, in recommending the
annexation resolution. OF course the
argument will be that the islands must
be taken as war measure. Inasmuch
however, as the Spanish vessels in the
Philippines have been destroyed, with
the exception of a few unimportant
gunboats, whose surrender is but
matter of few days, if they have not
already been put under the American
flag there is no necessity for Selling
Hawaii. Had Hawaii adopted a policy
of neutrality, and were the United
States menaced by the enemy's armada
in that region of the globe, it would be
embarrassing to Dewey's fleet to main
tain itself without a convenient coaling
station. But there is no doubt that
Hawaii will freely permit our warships
to use her harbors. This would be an
act of hostility to SPAIN but the latter
is not in a position to resent it. Under
the circumstances, there is no more
justification for our acquisition of the
islands than there would be in times
of peace.

some way to war measures. All the
important outside questions that it was
hoped would go through the session
have been sidetracked, and there is
practically no hope of their being
brought up again. In view Of the pres
ent condition of affairs it is of course
impossible to do anything with Ha-
waiian annexation, anyhow The
friends of the project, however, are of
the opinion that the delay only makes
their prospects all the surer as it is
figured that when the war is over there
