the key to /the check given to the bull

It is no longer possible to disguise the
fact that friction exists between two in
terests representing the control of the
property. nor would it serve any good pur-
pose to assert that these differences were
not logical on certain points connected
with the operating and financing of the
company. 1t is the testimony of many
close observers that these differences have
been sufficient to alter the ownership Of

broad view of the situation. it may be

BOTKIN IS BROKEN.
A Heartbreaking Letter From the
Congressman.

Congressman.
A pathetic letter from Congressman
at Large J. D. Botkin has been received
at the POpulist state headquarters. The
letter was not intended for publication
'Ralphs condition. he writes, which
was so alarming Thursday night as to
cause a council of physicians to declare
no basis for hope, has somewhat i'm
proved. Yesterday and last night and
today the battle has Deen in his favor.
We are beginning to entertain some
hope, although his case is yet very crlt1-
cal.
'The labor and loss of sleep incident
to nursing Ralph, together with the
dreadful fear of his death, have almost
broken me down. I have been quite
sick and can eat nothing. I am in good
condition to become a victim of the fe-
yer myself, although am taking treat
ment and hope to ward off trouble.
MY dear friend, when I think of the
sacrifice I have made, the attacks GER
tain men are making upon me and my
kind on the stump and through the
newspapers, embitter me. I freely gave
my precious boy to my cOuntry-tO
President Mckinley in person-which
fully attests my loyalty to my country
and my desire to do all in my power to
prosecute the war. You can imagine
my feelings as I sit in the gathering
shadows of what I fear is his death
chamber. rejecting that my boy con-
tracted this dreadful disease while in
the line of duty in camp long ago
condemned as unnt Tor the purpose
and then read through binding tears
the charges of my opponents that I
was disloyal and tried to obstruct the
war.
''I feel like laundering into the ears
of all people that the men making such
charges are political hyenas that have
no respect either for the living or the
dead Then I think of Senator Harris,
who is now passing through a similar
experience, and also of Bush, who gave
a son to the war; and of Harvey, who
gave himself. Then I think Of Stanley
and the others, and ask what have they
done? I confess + feel bitter.
''Of course voted against bonds. I
shall do so again if opportunity offers.
I preferred to give my boy to my coun-
try rather than bonds to my other chill
dren and to posterity. cannot believe
that the good people of Kansas will
sanction this infamous charge of diSlOy-
atty made against me for no other rea-
son than that we voted against per-
petuating and increasing the interest
bearing debt of the nation.
1T is impossible to tell when can
get back into the campaign. I hope you
will fully explain, especially to the re-
union people at Concordia and Marion,
in case 1 fail to reach there, the rea-

Maine Farming Notes.

1t may not be generally know stha !.
in Corinna there is slaughter house,
the largest east of Boston, where an
immense amount of business is done
each year. The building is the prop
erty Of H. B. Rackliffe, who has de-
voted several months each year ever
since he was large enough to do bust,
ness, to the buying and shipping of
sheep and lambs. His father before
him was in the same business and Mr..
Rackliffe states that it is the only
trade that he ever learned For years
he bought sheep for large concern
located near Boston, gathering up
thousands of the animals in this State
and the Provinces, and receiving for
his work "a salary which few men are
able to command in any business in
the State for. the same length of time.
Though he received "a big salary there
came a time when he Thought there
was more money in buying and killing
lie sheep for market thangin working
for Others and he subsequently em-.
barked in the business several years
ago. since which tini0 he has gradually
increased the 1itiirtber of sheep killed
at his place each year, beside shipping
number alive to Boston. The sea-
sons work for this year has been COM
pleted and between 1900 and $4,000
sheep have been slaughtered by the six
butchers in Mr.. Rackliffe's employ. OF
this nugnber 1911 were bought in the
Provinces, and shipped to Dover and
FoXeroft from which place they were
driven to Corinna by E. M Demeritt
and Mont Gray OF Dover. Not lamb
was lost in driving and the count made
by Mr.. Deaneritt as the sheep were un-
loaded from the cars and that made by
Mr.. Rackliffe or the men in his employ
at Corinna tailed precisely, some thing
that is rather singular when one con-
sfders the difficulty experienced in
counting the animals as they leave the
cars ordinarily. The six men working
a day Of 10 hours. butcher 800 sheep
and get the carcasses ready for ship
ment. The cooler receives them f1rst
where they are left until cold before
being taken to the refrigerator cars
for shipment. The men this wear
worked about three months to do the
butchering, and Mr. Rackliffe finds by
his methods that he can buy sheep and
sell mutton as low as any Of the firrns
in the business and make just as much.

brother, J. B. RacklifEe, Will 70, to San
