Che Cattle

The display of cattle this year at
the fair is remarkably good. There
are two herds on exhibition that are
very hard to beat anywhere.
The admirer of the Short horn finds
all he could ask in those magnificent
animals exhibited by J.F, Shredder, Of
Burden, and the Hereford man can
see his ideal in the herd of white faces
owned by P, Close Of Wilson county.
Mr.. d. Rush has some fine young
white faces on exhibition but nothing
entered.
We don't know very much about
the feeding qualities or domestic hab-
its of the white faced COW, but we
must say the Short Horns seem to us
to be about three grades ahead Of the
White Face in all that it takes to
make perfect animal.
We fully realize that the herd OF
Mr., Stadden's were well fed and fixed
up especially for the fair and that the
other cattle were not but we do not
think all the grooming and feeding
and fixing that could be done on the
choice Herefords from every herd
within 40-miles of Chanute could
make them show M beef qualities
with Mr.. Stadder's Short Horns.
There may be advantages in feeding
or milk qualities about the White
Face but we will have to be shown
before we are convinced that they
come up to the Short Horn in general
desirable qualities.

Wednesday night as w. ID. Frisby
was coming in from the west with
heavy freight, T. H. Schmutz fireman.
they came down the slope west of
Burden at full speed to gain moment
um to carry them up on the other side
as is customary. All went well till
they reached the new bridge being
constructed when it was discovered
that some freight cars were standing
on the track. Frisby reversed his
engine and set the brakes, all he could
do, and jumped. He lit pretty hard
and as consequence is rather badly
bruised and damned up. Mr.. Schmutz
took his chances with the engine and
after the smash crawled out from
among the debris pretty badly shaken
up. Mr.. Schmutz got pinched pretty
badly, and at present writing it can.
not be determined just how badly he
is hurt but it is supposed that neither
one of the men is seriously injured. 1t
was surely miraculous escape TOT
both the men. The engine and num-
Der of cars were smashed up in great
shape and the track badly democrat

Somebody has made serious blum
der, we do not know who it is, an in
vestigation alone will locate the
blame We are ted this morning that
Tom Cronin who was acting as dis
patcher at the time, threw up his job
as soon as the accident was announced
as though he felt that he was at fault,
We withhold censure on anyone till the
facts are known, but that serious
blunder was made by somebody is APP

The popular view of the relation of the blood
to human character and conduct is marked in
many familiar expression. We speak OF
there being 'bad blood between people at
enmity, of "blue blood" as indicating ancestry,
of "black blood as describing a treacherous
nature, and in many another phrase mark our
belief that in the mental, moral and physical
man, "the blood is the life," The one basis OF
heaithful, happy and useful life is pure blood

tDbat Bryan Does 11ot Be-
liepe

Mr. william Jennings Bryan may
have believed once that the free and
unlimited coinage of silver would be
a good thing for the United States,
and that the adherence to the gold
standard, through the administration
Of the Republican party, would result
in industrial and financial disaster; at
least that is what he preached. But
Mr. Bryan does not believe in these
things now. Neither does any other
man of intelligence. Yet Mr.. Bryan
and his staff of boomers would give
the impression of this belief by keep
ing alive the silver issue, and espec-
tally by reafflrming the Chicago plat
form in it's entirety.
Mr.. Bryan does not believe that the
United States government is bent on
a system of oppression in the Philip
pines, determined to make poor, SER
vile dependents of the Philippines. He
does not believe that the Filippinos
would be better off if left to their own
guidance than if they would submit
to the protection, the government
and the encouragement of the United
States. Yet Mr.. Bryan would lead
his hearers to believe that the Uuited
States government has discarded its
boasted policy of liberty to all and
adopted in its place policy of des-
potism, so far as the Philippines are
concerned.
Mr. Bryan does not believe that the
condition Of wage-earners in this coun
try is deplorable; that labor is crush
ed and warped after the manner pic
tured in "The Man With the Hoe;" on
the contrary, he knows that labor il
better paid than for years past. and
that the price Of labor will purchase
more Of the necessities Of life at pres
ent than at any other time within
decade or more. Yet Mr.. Bryan per-
sistently tries to convince the people
that he believes these things.
Mr.. Bryan does not believe that one
class in this country is planning the
destruction If another class, and that
it has already more than half way
succeeded; yet he makes representa-
lions seemingly based on this be-
lief, and incites one class against the
other.
Mr.. Bryan does not believe that the
party is better able tt
cope with the abuses of trusts than is
the Republican party, yet he would
have the people understand that the
only salvation from complete and
grinding monopoly is the return to
power of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Bryan does not believe that his
own course as the leader Of party is
consistent or honest iii its relation to
the masses; yet he poses as the
great friend and advocates Of the peo-
Pile.
1t may be that Mr.. Bryan believes
that all things are fair In politics, as
in love and war, but he will learn by
and by that the people expect SINGER
ity and honesty of the man who as
plres to the presidency, and that, if |
given an opportunity to do so, they |
will resent more forcibly than they
did in 1896 his transparent misrepres-
and fallacies. City |

Austin. Texas, June 26.--Evidence hae
been furnished the railroad commission
to the effect that the contract under which
the Fort Worth and Rio Grande Railroad
company was built from Fort Worth to
Brentwood has been kept alive since the
road was completed TO the latter point, and
the commission will in the near future
render its decision as to whether the road
can be extended under said contract. From
present indications the decision will be
In the affirmative. The question involved
is whether a contract entered into prior
to the creation of the railroad commission,
under the terms of which a specified
amount OF bonds per mile OF road con-
structed may be issued, can be complied
with subsequent to the creation of the
commission without commission Limitation
upon the amount of bonds to be issued,

time been suspended. AS stated above,
though, 1t Is shown that although no ad-
ditional mileage has been constructed
since the creation Of the commission.

contract in making surveys and disposing

gin in the way of extending the road to
