"The Queen Butter Maker should be
called The Dairy Maids Friend Our
experience with the one now in use at
our farm at Ashburn, Va, near Wash
ington, d. c., is that 1t makes butter
quickly, Of as fine grain and quality and
really more Of 1t than made in any other
of our churns, and this method of but
ter making, compared with the old one,
is as the lightning express Of to-day
compared with the stage coach of olden
times. We value highly the beautiful
Butter Maker we received and are glad
to recommend it as first class Churn."

THE DEMOCRAT BANQUET.
The Largest Gathering Of the Kind Ever
Ia Held in Kansas,

Held in Kansas.
Last week probably brought to To-
peka more Democrats than were ever in
the city before The occasion was the
meeting Of the State committee, and a
banquet which was participated in by
about 800. The feature OF the banquet
was the presence Of w. ]. Bryan. 1t was
held at che Metropolitan hall, which was
very tastefully decorated, the national
eOlors being in evidence everywhere. 1t
was great success, being the result OF
several weeks hard work on the part OF
the managers, the leader among whom
was Frank s. Thomas, treasurer Of the
committee.
The speech-maklng, which to the pub
iic was the most interesting part, did not
begin until IL o'clock. The speeches
were numerous, and extended mention
cannot be given Of them.
Chairman Mack Love was the first
speaker. He said that the Democratic
party was on earth for business and It's
business was to secure relief for the peo-
pie from all things which proved to be
detrimental to their interests. The money
combine and trusts were spoken of as
the prominent factors which boded Ill
Tor the country.
David OVermyer, with Restored Dem
ocracy" for subject, was in his element.
He renominated Bryan and predicted |
great growth of sentiment in favor OF |
Democratic principles
Claude Duval OF Hutchinson spoke |
briefly on the Young Democracy" He |
thought that the hope OF the party and |
Of the country was in the young men |
who could be depended on to do their
duty. Judge w. 8. Glass Of Marysvllle |
severely arralgned the trusts and COM
bines In his response to "'The Issues and
Our Platform" He vigorously defended
the Chicago platform.
County Attorney Amidon Of Wichita
spoke of Cuba" He didn't leave a
grease spot of the Spanish" as one of the
banqueters expressed 1t. He attributed
the Maine explosion to Spanish treachery
aud urged that vigorous action be taken
by the government.
Ex-Governor Click was very approprl-
ately given the subject of the "Old
Guard" He was fighting the battles Of
Democracy before there was any pros
poets Of success anyway, and his refer
ences to the old days were very inter-
esting. He took a lively shot at the
trusts and pointed out the fact that Dem
oCrats should lead the fight against them.
Senator Farrelly Of Chanute, who lead
the fight for the antitrust bill in the
Legislature, spoke of Trusts" His
speech was a splendid argument for ac-
tion along the line OF curbing the en-
croachments Of combines Of all sorts.
In Judge Jacksons speech on "The
Federal Judiciary" he pointed out the
persistent usurpations of power ON the
part Of federal judges, and showed that
It was sure to be destructive Of the liber-
ties Of the people.
a H. s. Martin Of Marion made speech
which showed that he was in line with
later day Democracy.
n Judge John Martin talked Of kansas
