MUNICIPAL STOCK YARDS.

Municipal ownership Of public util-
tiles does not seem to be wholly par
tisan question. 1t is one of the cardinal
principles Of the Populist and fusion
parties hut 1t is also put into actual
practice in many strong Republican To-
Calities. Duluth, Mimi, and Des Moines,
Ia, both strongly Republican cities,
have recently acquired possession and
control of their water and lighting
plants, and Chicago, under Democrat
ic administration, Is agitating the sub
ject Of municipal ownership Of all the
street railways In the city. And the
Des Moines Register, the leading and
most rabid Republican newspaper in the
State of Iowa, argues in a concise and
fOrceful manner in favor of the munich
pal ownership Of the stock yards, to the
end that the people may be protected
and extortionate charges wholly pre-
vented
AS an educator the Popullst party
seems TO lead the way and brush out
the lines which the other parties adopt
and follow. The whole country seems
to be arousing and waking up to the
necessity, which the Populist party has
always proclaimed, for the public own
ership and management Of those utili-
ties which the masses Of the people are
Obliged to use and which should be con-
trolled for the benefit and convenience
Of the people, instead OF being used to
impoyerish the many for the purpose
of enriching few private owners. Up
ON the subject of municipal ownership
Of stock yards the Register says:
while Des Moines is preparing for
the greatly increased labor, business
and trade certain to result from the real
coming Of the Pittsburg & Gulf railway
TO this city, why should not the city
government proceed to provide the mu-
nlcipal stock yards the city will need
for the care, feeding and sale Of the live
stock that will be brought to Des Molnes
in almost countless numbers when the

career of such political tricksters is
usually and justly brief, for dishonesty
in politics will sooner or later brand the
individual, in the estimation Of the
people, with a suspicion and stain as
indelible as the mark of Cain. Machines
and rings and gangs in public life may
meet with temporary success, but their
motives and character cannot long re-
main hidden, and when the suspicion
of political dishonesty or bOodling be-
comes attached to an individual he has
already commenced the digging Of his
own political grave.

THE STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

Kansas is largely an agricultural
State. It's greatest wealth is in its
farms and its greatest income is from
products of the farms The State has
an Agricultural college located at Man
haitian. Its object is to instruct boys
and girls in agricultural and mechani-
can pursuits. It is the largest agricul-
tural college in the world. 1t has an
endowment of half a million dollars.
The attendance numbers 800 students
and they have forty instructors. There
are nine substantial stone buildings.
The grounds are attractive and pleasing.
No tuition or fees are charged in any
of the departments. Pupils are admit
ted direct from the district schools.
Any person 1S years Of age or older, of
good character, with sufficient knowl
edge to understand the textbooks and
lectures is admitted without examina-
tion. Books and stationery are fur
nished to the students at actual cost.
There is a culinary department, where
students are given practical instruction
in household economy and where meals
are furnished to the students at actual
cost, about 10 cents each or three for
25 cents. There is daily military drill
and shop work. The shops embrace an
electric plant, foundry, machine and
work shops where the instruction is
thorough in metal and wood work. The
printing Office is complete. Two pc
riodicals are regularly published and in
struction is given in all the details of
that department. The laboratory is well

city becomes a real market and CONNER
ciaI center? Stock yards are very prof
liable at all the principal Centers, but
there is more than profit involved-Des
MOines should have municipal owner
ship OF all local stock yards in order
that extortiOnate charges may be wholly
prevented. Municipal ownership should
provide for cheap yardage, and permit
the owners of feed to provide their own
feed II they 80 desire, giving them per-
mission to buy feed wherever they
please.
Cheap feed and yardage can be made
the chief important feature in making
Des MOines live stock and packing
center. The charges Of commission
statesmen should also be regulated by the
city ordinances The organization and
maintenance of municipal stock yards,
on the system proposed herein, will give
Des MOines a great advantage over all
other market centers. Land for stock
yards can be purchased cheaply now,
and equipped In such manner as to
enable the owners of live stock to yard,
feed and sell their stock in this city for
less than half the average charges they
are compelled to pay at all other points,
and still the municipal stock yards
should be able to earn fair interest
on the investment.
"Des Molnes should promptly take
warning from the extortiOnate charges
at all the stock yards Of the other mar
ket centers, which have been so expen-
slve to the owners Of live stock and so
enormously profitable to the owners OF
private and corporation stock yards
Kansas stock growers have been robbed
by the stock yards company at Kansas
City (Kas.) for many years, but the last
Kansas Legislature enacted law for
the regulation Of stock yards charges.
A dispatch in yesterdays Register states
that the stock yards company has
promptly taken action that will defeat
the law, by going out of business and
turning all of its trade over to the Kan
sas City (Mo) stock yards company,
which will undoubtedly continue the ex-
tortionate stock yards charges. This
stock yards matter is very important
to the future of Des Moines, and while
there can be no real cause for complaint
from private enterprise, now is the time
for the city government to consider and
provide complete system of municipal
stock yards. The expense will be light,
II provided for while lands are cheap,
and with stock yards charges not ex-
ceeding half the rates charged at other
centers Des Moines will
have a great advantage over all of
them"

A Shooting Affair.

A warrant was sworn out by County
Attorney Rogers on Monday, upon
complaint of James Newman, charg.
ing Ben New, living six orSeyen miles
north Of town, with shooting with in
tent to kill. The sheriff went out
this afternoon to serve the warrant.
According to Newman's story, he
and two others, to whom New owed
money for helping thresh wheat, went
there Sunday they having learned
that he had returned since skipping
out last week to collect their wages.
New promised to come to town today
and settle with them. They doubted
his good intentions and stayed in the
neighbOrhOOd to watch him. Last
night he was seen to hitch up his
wagon and drive east. They halted
him and demanded their pay. He
returned to the house, and asked his
wife to bring out $40 bill. She re-
fused and he asked her to bring out
the shotgun, at the same time order
ing the three men to leave. As they
were going away New fired three shots
at one of them. None of The shots
took effect.

together in head-On collision two
miles this side of Alva, OF, at 2
o'clock Sunday, the result of negli-
gence on the part of Operator George
MOeSer, formerly of this city. The

train had left and was beyond hailing
distance. The two trains came to-

Charlie Pruett's resort south Of

about o'clock Friday night and two
girls and Madame Prnett arrested.
They were taken before Squire Cox
and plead guilty to running diSord-
erly house and were fined s. and costs
each, amounting to 1875. The ar
rests were made on warrants sworn
out by County Attorney Rogers. Tie
place was searched for liquor, but
only few bottles OF malt were St cured.
As Madam Pruett has been sick for
for some time, and claimed that the
malt was for her individual use. the
charge against them of selling liquor
was dismissed, there being no evil
dence to convict.
