NOTES. : A

During the dipping of a bunch of lamhS at the farm of Peter Anderson, >riear Fort Colli-s, Colo, one lot of twenty were driven into a vat and absolutely scalded to death, the so- lution being over heated by a mistake Here is a chance for the humane so- ciety to assert itself.
 A dispatch from Waukegan, Hi nois, says: ''The feeding of great flocks of sheep brought from the yves. and intended for the Chicago market has recently become an important business hereabouts. Some pecula- tive farmers have made big money at it. Just now, Robert Dady, a farmer capitalist, has over 16,000 sheep feed ing upon his farm and awaiting good prices in the city market
 The purchase of fertilizers can be made in a manner to afford the farmer immediate benefit and at the same time cheapen them. Anything that is returned to the soil is fertilizer, and all materials not digested and assimi- lated must go into the manure heap. When the farmer purchases linseed meal or cotton seed meal he, makes a safe investment, for the reason that both substances, if applied to the land direct, become excellent fertilizers but when the farmer feeds such ma- terials to his stock he produces some thing to sell and at the same time greatly Hnriches his manure.

complained of no pain. In a word, save for some degree of cancellation, a, noticeably dry skinL and her abdomi- nal cicatrix, the woman offers no ap- parent departure from ordinary aver age, health" She has gained more than three pounds in weight since the operation. In commenting on the case, Dr. Wendt says:
 While it would be manifestly un- fair to indulge in sweeping generali zations on the strength of this single case, so boldly rescued and ably de- scribed by Dr. Schlstter, it seems at least justifia ble to formulate the fol- lowing conclusions:
 1. The human stomach is not a. vi- tai organ.
 z. The digestive capacity Of the hu- man stomach has been considerably overrated.
 3. The fluids and solids constituting an ordinary mixed diet are capable of complete digestion and assimilation without the aid of the human stom- ach.
 4. A gain in the weight of the body may take place in spite of the total absence of gastric activity.
 5. Typical vomiting may occur without a stomach.
 6. The general health Of a person need not immediately deteriorate on account of removal of the stomach.
 '. The most important office, of the human stomach is to act as a reser- voir for the reception, preliminary preparation, and propulsion of food and fluids. It also fulfilIs a useful purpose in regulating the temperature of swallowed solids and liquids.
 8. The chemical functions of the human stomach may be completely and satisfactorily performed by the other divisions of the alimentaIy canal.
 g. Gastric juice is hostile to the development of many micro-organ- isms.
 do. The free acid of normal gastric secretions has no power to arrest pu- trefaotve changes in the intestinal tract. Its antiseptic and bactericide potency has been oyerestimated. / Iii HAp planation of the daring of Dr. Schlatter 1T removing the woman's : stomach, it should be said that cases are on record where patients have sur vived for considerable periods af CT the removal of the greater part of the stomach, while dogs have lived in good health for years with no s-om- ach at all. But this is the first case of authentic record where. a human being has been subjected to Guch an operation.

the Iowa delegation one of the Vir- delegates said:
 Daniel is one of our greatest law yers, as he was one of our greatest soldiers. You observe that he walks with crutches. He uses crutches on account of disa Utilities received during the war He was shot all to pieces at the battle fo Gettysburg. He was so badly mangled that they had to haul him to the hospital in seven differ ent ambulances. The doctors put the pieces together and he is still pretty good man, physically as well as men tally"
 Within the past few years Senator Daniels wounds have given him very little trouble. He still walks with a slight limp, but it is very rare thing for him to use crutches.
 Of the men who composed the Unit ed States senate at the time of the inn peachment trial of President Johnson only two-Morrill of Vermont and Stewart of Nevada still members of that body. Senator Morrill, first entered the senate March 4, 1867, and has served continuously since Sena- tor Stewart first took his seat in the senate March 4, 1865, and served for two terms. He then retired, but was again returned to the senate, after an absence of ten years, in 1S87 Both Morrill, and Stewart voted in favor of finding President Johnson guilty of the impeachment charges. Among the members of the senate at that time who still survive, but no longer wear the toga, are Edmunds of Yer mont, Sherman of Ohio, Sprague of Rhode Island, Thayer of Nebraska, Bayard of Delaware and Henderson of Missouri Bayard and Henderson were among those who voted not guilty.

and eastern India have had rude ma chimes for sowing grain from time immemOrial.
 The first patent for seeding ma chine was granted in England in 1923 to Alexander Hamilton. Tt is believed that the drills of ancient times sowed but one row at a passing, as Full in 1733 invented a drill which sowed wheat, three rows at a time, and it was considered a wonder. Full also has the credit of inventing the cylin- der with cavities in the surface for feeding the seed. About 1790 James Cook invented machine, or. attach ment, by which fertilizers were de- posted with the seed. There are a good many different kinds of drills made in this country, all claiming by their makers to be the best Some are made with disks to cover the seed. Others have the "cutaway wheels" to cover the seed Some have hoes to open the ground, and short chains dragging behind to cover the seed and others cover the seed with blades similar to those of an Acme harrow
 Two important points about drill are the force feed to prevent clogging, and wide tires on the wheels to keep them from sinking into the soft ground, and thereby burying the seed too deeply. The broadcast seeders, which some farmers prefer to drills, have the forcefeed arrangement, but at the bottom of the tubes there are convex knobs upon which the seed falls and is scattered evenly in all di- rections, and a spring tooth harrow is attached to the rear, which covers it. A wheelbarrow seeder, for sowing grass seed is sometimes used The re is another kind to be carried, which, by turning a crank, scatters the seed by the wind like a small flaming mill.
 It is surprising that for SO long time as manure spreaders have besn for sale, so few farmers have availed themselves of these benefits. 1he reason probably is that they cling to the old, unwise practice of dumping the manure off in piles in the fields, and leaving it until ready to plough before spreading Then in great hurry a man is set at spreading it with fork, and he throws it around in a reckless manner, without much regard to getting it spread evenly ovsr the ground. The fnrst and best part of the manure which slips through the tines of the fork gets left, and as the rains have already washed much of the strength out of the pile into the ground, the consequence is that the spots where the piles lay are much the richest, and the grain lodges there. The cost of manure spreader is not great, and the amount of labor it saves is admitted. One man with a spreader will put out more manure in a day than three mem without. it, and spread it better

Republican Platforms Then and Now

Prof. Frank Parsons, In The Appeal to Reason.
What has come over the makers of
Kansas Republican platforms since 1878
and 1890? In those platforms we find
the most progressive demands-national
ownership and control Of deep harbors in
the Gulf Of Mexico; national irrigation
Of arid lands; legislation against trusts,
combines and monOpolies, and the pre-
yention Of gambling in grain and other
agricultural products; prohibition OF
alien ownership OF large tracts Of land;
text book laws; election Of railroad COM
missioners by the people, with ample
power to regulate the passenger and
freight rates; rigid examination Of all
banks and bankers, public statement of
their financial condition; more effective
system of assessing taxes, and reduction
of excessive fees and salaries; board
of arbitration to settle labor difficulties;
law requiring weekly payment Of en-
ployes in manufacturing concerns; pro-
hibiting the employment of children un-
der Ia in mines factories, workshops, or
mercantile establishments.
And listen to this: 1--WE are opposed to-
the system OF free pass on railroads now
in vogue in this State, by reason OF
which every railroad company is ex-
pected, as matter OF courtesy, to com
pliment all State officers, members Of the
Legislature, Judges and other public off,
GERS with free transportation over their
respective lines, and we favor the sup
preston Of this practice by proper legis-
latiOn." THE railways are the creatures
and exist by the breath OF legislative er-

No More Reforms for China.

Londan, Oct. 15.--The Peking CORE
spOndent Of the London Times says:
THE retrograde movement spreads An
imperial edict orders the suppression Of
the native press and the punishment of
the editors 1t also cancels all the new
methods of examination promulgated
during the last two months. The latter
step must give general satisfaction, since
the proposed changes were too radical
for the people. All officials who have
signed memorials in favor Of reform
have been dismissed from Office. The
board of agriculture is abolished, its
president, WI Mao Ting, comprador Of
the Hong Kong and Shanghai bank, be-
ing deprived OF his rank A memorial
impeaches him as a slave Of foreign
DEVILS The contract for the Neu
Chwang railroad extension loan has
been signed by the Hong Kong and
Shanghai bank"
The Shanghai correspondent Of the
Times says: "Huang, former consul at
Singapore, and lately minister designate
Of China to Japan, was arrested here yes
terday by order Of the empress dowager
In connection with the reform movement.
Her general prescription Of the progress
siveness constitutes a reign Of terror"

actment; as servants Of the people they
should be compelled to do their bidding,
and obey the wholesome requirements
and restrictions Of the law, and we de-
mand Of the Legislature the establish
ment Of such passenger and freight tar
IFS as shall advance the interests and
promote the industries Of the people"
And did the Republicans do all this when
they afterward came into power? DO,
they did substantially nothing, believe
to carry these demands into execution,
except to pass a weekly payment law.
Instead OF regulating the railroads, they
have opposed all attempts of the Demo
Gratis and Populists to regulate them.
But we have not done with these plat
forms. The Republicans Of Kansas de-
manded the free coinage Of silver at is
to /, and an increase Of the volume Of
currency to be regulated by the neces-
stiles of business. The silver dollar was
to be placed upon "a perfect equality
with the gold dollar In respect to both
coinage and circulation" and without
waiting to get the consent Of Europe
very much what the Populists and Dem
ocrats ask for now. And finally, want
to call attention to this plank which
seems to me good deal better than the
silver plank: "As the greenback cur
rency, originated by the brain and main
tanned by the blood OF the Republican
party has proved to be the cheapest,
safest and most convenient medium of
exchange for the people, we declare our
selves in favor Of repeal OF the ma
tional banking laws, and a substitution
therefore Of the currency issued by the
government, and demand that 1t be is
sued in sufficient volume to fully accom-
mOdate the wants Of business, and that
1t be made payable for all debts, public
and private, unless otherwise specified
by contract" The Kansas Republicans
had their faces toward the llght--were
among the most progressive people Of
the world a few years ago, Where are
they now? What do they advocate this
year? Substantially nothing. Their
platform Is practically blank-a little
war talk, but nothing progressive, not a
hint Of the many dreams OF earlier days,
all the progress there is seems to be in
the Democratic and Populist platforms.
Some Of the ideas formerly urged by the
Republicans have been adopted by the
Populists and Democrats, and now the
Republicans oppose those IDEAS Why is
it? 1 don't know / give it up. l have
asked some Of the wisest and most influ-
entail Republicans Of Kansas for the rea-
son, and have got no reply. Why is
that? You can tell better than l, for
you are on the ground.

The PeopIe Are Wlth McNalI.

The Mcpherson Freeman, one Of the
leading Republican papers OF central
Kansas, states some plain truths to the
members Of that party in this State
touching the fight the insurance COM
panies are making on superintendent
Webb McNall. The Freeman is evidently
opposed to the league entered into be-
tween the foreign insurance companies
and the Republican leaders, organized
for the purpose Of still further robbing
the people Of Kansas. The Freeman says:
THE people are with McNall. The Re-
publican party has got to offer the peo-
Die something better on the line OF con-
trolling insurance companies than Nc
Nall has given us, or they might as we'll
keep still concerning McNalPs record
The people of this State were charged
extOrtiOnate rates for insurance for
years, and in many instances, were
never paid for honest losses and forced
to litigate for many others, and 1t was
a long while before we got relief. But
as soon as insurance companies begin
to get dose Of their own medicine some
fool Republican rushes to their rescue
and wants to make the complaint OF the
company a campaign issue.
"The best evidence to the people that
McNall is right is that the insurance
companies are bowling and asking the
United States court, and not our State
courts, for protection. Let them howl
awhile, 1t will do them good They will
probably learn that the best way to get
protection Is to treat the people right.
They have been conhning their gener-
osity to the insurance committees OF the
House and Senate for twenty years, and
they have plgeon-holed many bills in
troduced in the Legislature for the peo-
pies relief Let the Republican party
go McNall one better, and not only drive
rotten insurance companies out OF the
State, but give us an actual reduction in
rates of insurance"
Editor Snyder of the Freeman ought to
know, il he does not know, that the
election Of Stanley Governor will mean
turning back to the old regime when
the insurance combine will control in
the matter Of appointing a Superinten-
dent of Insurance. II Stanley is elected
MCNalls head will fall in the basket
among the first, and then when a cit
izen Of Kansas sustains a loss and is
compelled to appeal to the Superinten-
dent of Insurance for justice, he will be
told, as in the past, that he will have to
go to the courts and settle his fight with
the insurance company. Unable, finan-
cially, to cope with these wealthy corpO-
rations, the average citizen will have to
take what they offer him. Webb Nc
Nall is the only Superintendent who has
stood between the people and downright
robbery, and the only way to retain him
in Office is for the people to cast their
votes for Governor Leedy. A vote for
Stanley is vote against McNall-a vote
to place in the office of Superintendent
Of Insurance a tool Of these corporations
who will permit them to again engage
in the business Of robbery and plunder,
and Editor Snyder knows 1t.
