Bleeding, Kansas.

EDITORS DEMOCRAT:
We started for Kansas November 81,
and arrived in Toronto the 23rd. 1t
was cloudy and rainy all the week, then
cleared off and has been warm and nice
as summer weather ever since. This is
termed the Sunflower State, but think
Bleeding Kansas the more appropriate
term as the land agents and business
men try to bleed every one they can,
especially land seekers of which 1 have
met quite number from Iowa and
other states.
The farming here is different than in
Iowa. 1t is mostly stock raising. The
crops are corn, Kaf1ir corn and sorghum
for stock feed. Corn yields Is to 35 BUSH
els per acre and Kaffir corn about the
same when thrashed. Stock sells at
higher prices than in Iowa, but it is
not as good quality.
There are many western cattle fed
here, yet the people do not seem to be
overloaded with prosperity, neither
business men nor farmers. Butter, eggs
and poultry do not bring cash, farmers
have to take trade or duebills until
they want to trade more. Merchants
issue shinplasters or script, same as
was used in war times. Still cannot
see why this is so. for this is as fine q
looking country as one can find any
where. Timber is quite scarce but
there is coal on every mans farm 8 to 6
feet deep. think l have written more
than you can cipher out and will close
Yours truly

THE SYMPHONY CONCERT.

The concert by the New Haven SYM
nhonv orchestra on Thursday afternoon
will probably make fine close to their
season. The programme is in many
ways the best that Prof. Parker has
arranged The symphony Will be sure
of a satisfactory rendition because 1t 10
a second performance. Inc letters
which have been written to the papers
about this famous symphony are
rather amusing. Some one has com
planned of hearing the Fifth sym
phony too often. 1t has been perform
ed in this city only once in the last five
years, and if this is too often for musi-
cal taste in this community. things are
certainly in a sad way. The fact that
the symphony orchestra has played 1t
before and is familiar with 1t will be
likely to make the performance this
time very enjoyable.
The soloist this time will be interest
ing. Miss Clarys voice is one of the
great voices of the country. 1t is a
noble organ. Both her selections are
popular concert arias.
The male chorus from the university
has always proved an attractive feature
of these concerts. This time Prof.
Parker is especially pleased with his
material and particularly ambitious
works have been selected. Mr..
Haesche's overture will prove an inter-
esting novelty All these things make
an excellent programme, and the con-
cert is sure to draw out a large au-
dience.

A HUNDRED REASONS.

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best and most effectual
| cure for every form of indigestion.
| They are in the tablet form which re-
tains their good qualities indefinitely,
while liquid preparations become stale
and useless with age.
They are convenient, can be carried in
the pocket and taken when needed.
They are pleasant to take.
After each meal dissolve one or two of
them in the mouth, and, mingling with
the food, they constitute a perfect di-
gestive, absolutely safe for the most
sensitive stomach.
They digest the food before it has
time to ferment, thus preventing the
formation of gas and keeping the blood
pure and free from the poisonous pro-
ducts of fermented, half-digested food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
remedy designed especially for the cure
of stomach troubles and nothing else
One disease, one remedy; the success
full physician Of to-day Is the specialist,
the successful medicine Is the medicine
prepared especially for one disease.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
complexion clear by keeping the blood
pure
They increase flesh by digesting flesh
forming foods.
A whole package taken at one time
would not hurt one, but would simply
be a waste Of good material.
Over six thousand men and women In
the state of Michigan alone have been
cured of indigestion and dyspepsia by
the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Sold by all druggists at so cents per

One-FMh the Cost
OF Heat
RICH CREAM
WITH
Crape-Kuts.
VALUE OF CREAM
A charming dish.
AS Compared With Meat.

One of the most valuable items in
ones dietary is good rich cream The
remark is frequently made that cream
is too expensive to use freely" Some
people think they must have meat
every day at 10 and rs cents per pound
and do not realize that cents worth
Of pure cream for breakfast will do
more to put on flesh than 25 or 30 cents
worth of meat.
An ideal portion OF breakfast is that
obtained from say four teaspoons of
Grape Nuts and a little, pure, thick
cream, either cold or hot.
This is one of the most delicious
dishes imaginable and is served with
out cooking or trouble of any kind and
cannot be equaled in point of food
value for the human body.
Made by the Postum Co., at Battle
Creek, Mich.
The GrapeNuts, consisting largely of
grape sugar, have passed through pro-
cesses similar to the first act of d.
gestion and are therefore most easily
digested, and in combination with
cream, they render the cream itself
easy of digestion.
Grocers sell Grape Nuts.

SUICIDE STILL UNKNOWN.

No Identified ton of the Body Has Yet
Been Made.
The body of the travelling man who
after registering under the name Of
Grey at the Tontine hotel committed
suicide in his room still remains uni
Identified The body is at the undertake
ing establishment of Lewis & Maycock,
and, as usual in such cases, has been
viewed by a large number of curious
people. A few called who seemed to
think at first sight that they recognized
the remains, but after closer examina-
ton they decided that they were mis-
taken.
Coroner Mix received telephone in
quiry from New York yesterday morn
ing asking for particulars about the
body. The speaker refused to say who
he was or his reason for asking the in
formation.
The body, it is thought, unless sooner
identified, will be kept for week, at
the end of which time it will be buried
at the expense of the city.

EXPANSION OR NO EXPANSION
Undecided by orators in Last Evenings
Debate at Young Mems Republican

Undecided by orators in Last Evening S
Debate at Young Mems Republican
Club.
The literary committee of the Young
Mems Republican club held it's weekly
debate last evening, large number of
members being present and listening
to the arguments advanced. The con-
test was between f. w. Orr, the well
known sealer of weights and measures,
of the club, the former advancing the
affirmative and the latter the negative
side of the question, Resolved, That 1T
would be wiser for the United States
to enter upon the policy Of territorial
expansion"
Strong and weighty arguments were
advanced on both sides, Mr.. Orr pre-
senting his side of the question in a
clear cut and convincing manner, while
Mr.. Peaker stuck to his argument with
the tenacity of a well grounded belief.
The arguments consumed nearly two
hours, each speaker taking his full
three quarters of an hour, and during
that time such weighty arguments pro
and con were advanced that it was said
even Congressman Sperry, who was an
interested auditor, was seen taking
notes, presumably for future use.
When the auditors had finally eX-
hausted their declamatory powers the
judges, consisting of Judge L. W..
Cleaveland, John c. North and w. De-
Forest Dickinson We're referred to for
decision. After some time spent delib-
Grating, during which they engaged in
a short side debate themselves, one
judge declaring in favor Of the affir-
NATIVE side of the question, the other
in favor Of the negative, and the third
in favor of both, it was decided that
the debate was a tie, and the orators
departed dividing the honors evenly
between themselves.

PROMINENT RUSSIANS


,
Two Russian gentlemen, representa-
J tives of an immense st. Petersburg firm,
were in Derby Monday. Accompany
ing them was their American agent.
The party was piloted around town and
entertained by Fl. r. Waning of the
Birmingham Iron foundry and Theo-
dore s. Bassett and w. T. Askam of the
United States Rubber Retaining works
in Shelton.
The Derby News says: The Russians
are Boris Kempe, managing director,
and B. Beckman, superintendent OF
shoe works. Both are members OF the
Russian-American India Rubber COM
pany of ST. Petersburg. This firm is
one of the largest Of it's kind in the
world 1t employs 1890 hands and
turns out every business day of the year
35, 900 pairs of shoes. In addition every
thing else in the rubber line is manu-
featured including surgical instru-
ments wearing apparel, rubber toys and
other goods.
The men are making a tour of New
England, looking over factories and
mills and watching the operation Of our
ingenious American machines and meth
DDS. The st. Petersburg firm is pro-
gressive and wide-awake, and wants the
very latest facilities.
The party at 1 o'clock drove to the
Bassett house. where special lunch
was served in the private dining room.
The party left for New York on the Ala
train.
The principal object of the visit of
these Russian manufacturers to Derby
is to investigate the possibilities of the
new process for reclaiming rubber which
was invented by Manager w. f. Askam
of the United states Rubber company
in Shelton. The method has been DEM
onstrated to them and it has shown
that rubber can be reclaimed under Mr..
process for one-third the cost
of the old The visitors were we'll pleas
ed with the process and will in the near
future install it in their large factory
in st. Petersburg. Mr.. Askam will in
q few weeks leave for that city and will
demonstrate the possibilities of the
work.
Rev. A. M. Stckney, representing the
Russian company in this country, is
president of the Wellman Sole Cutting
company of Medford, Mass.

and has recently returned

an important purchase of unimproved

promises to prove very rich in the guam
tity of fine mahogany that can be made
ready for shipment north. The new
owners have not decided as yet just
when they will begin the improvement
of the tract.
