in Netting the Wines grow sprawIing

he claims, makes them grow short

year, in january, he prnInes back TO
three buds; of these The allows two to

he restricts lit ITO one. He puts UP "a

ONE MANS NERVE
How E. E. Brown Fooled Hutch
insOn People.
Promised 5000 People to At
tend His Conference.
1T FELL VERY FLAT.
Only Fifty Outsiders Came to
Participate.
Why the Self Styled Leader
Was Kicked Out.
FELL VERY FLAT.

The people of Hutchinson are still
standing in awe of E. E. Brown. His
colossal nerve paralyzed the men who
are interested in the welfare and pro-
gress of that city. c. A. Conkling was
besieged by the committee which had
been designated at the suggestion of
Mr.. Brown to secure finances. Conk-
ling did not believe a crowd would at
tend the convention He said so and
Brown went to see him.
"Get lots of money" said Brown.
I'VE will have 5000 or 5000 people here
and must have money to entertain
them"
Il do not believe you are going to
have a crowd" said Conkling. There
may be a few people here, but no thou
sands. There won't be more than 100.'
Thereupon Mr.. Brown, the promoter,
Owed into his pocket and drew forth
a book of Missouri Pacific passes signed
in blank.
DO you see that book of passes"
Mr.. Conkling admitted that his eye
sight had not failed.
I have distributed $50 already" said
Brown.
This conversation took place two
weeks before the convention.
Before the convention assemblies
continued Mr.. Brown, I viii have is
sued at least 700. The crowd is COM
ing and you must raise money"
Why the Missouri Pacific will have
accommodate the crowds" exclaimed
Mr.. Brown again.
Then Mr. Brown went to w. Fl.
Cheatham, manager of the Santa Fe
hotel, and said:
Il want a letter of introduction to
Fred Harvey"
I'll give you a letter to Mr.. Har-
Vey," said Mr.. Cheathana, but I can
not see what good it will DO you"
L want to make Harvey give me. an
eating house pass" said Brown.
well, I'll give you no letter for that
purpose" said Cheatham and Brown
departed.
Later Mr.. Brown said to a crowd of
his friends: Il am going down into
Cherokee county and get UP a big
crowd for a special train over the Mis-
souri, Pacific
Mr.. Brown is quoted as having said
to a friend that he had issued 700
passes to the miners of Cherokee coun-
ty and would have a crowd which
would paralyze the Pops and fusion
ists.'
The miners did not come; the 25O
holders of passes in other parts of the
state did not show up and there were
but fifty men from outside of the city
of Hutchinson in attendance. The &C
tual count of the members of the con-
vention is 125. This is vouched for by
even those who were most sanguine of
the success of the movement.
Brown and his followers wanted to
name the new organization a Demo-
cratic league, but the fusionists had
stolen a march on him and it was
designated as the Sunf1OWer league
This gives the fusionists the oppOrtun-
ity to pack future meetings and con-
troll the deliberations of the conven-
ton.
1t is claimed that a Santa Fe Re
publican director and one of the prOmi-
nent Missouri Pacific lawyers We're pro-
noting this scheme through Brown to
prevent a fusion deal in this state for
the next state election. In the prelim-
mary round the fusionists won.

HEREFORD BREEDERS.
Owners of White Faces to Hold a
National Maatine

Kansas City Sept. 1.-The national
exhibition of Hereford cattle will he
held in Kansas City from October % to
%. During the exhibition 300 register
ed Herefords will be sold at auction.
The sales will be held at the stock
yards, in the daytime only, so as not to
interfere with the horse show that will
be going on in convention hall at the
same time.
The Hereford association, of which
K. B. Armour is president, will offer a
list OF prizes aggregating $4,000 and
there will be as much more in special
prizes. The sale will be a combination
affair in which some 60 breeders will
have a part.
The Shorthorn breeders of this sec
ton have contemplated holding an ex7
hiDition and sale such as the one to be
held by the Hereford men and they are
watching the outcome of the latter
with much interest. 1t is not unlikely
that the ShorthOrn breeders will either
hold an independent exhibition in Kan
sas City next year or combine with the
Hereford breeders in one big show next
fall. 1t is understood that the Here
ford breeders are willing to unite with
the Shorthorn men.
Among the special prizes are: The
Armour cup of sterling silver, which
cost $500; Clay, Robinson & Co, spec
ial of 5000 in cash; the Breeders Ga

AN AMERICAN WELCOME
Extended to Sir Thomas Upton at
New York.

New York, Sept. 2.-The Cunard line
steamer Campania arrived at quaran-
tine last night at 1880 o'clock and was
met in the narrOws by a floJilla of tugs
and the steam yacht Erin to greet Sir
Thomas Upton, who was passenger
on the liner. The quarantine commits
missioner's boat, the State of New
York. also appeared on the scene with
a large party under the guidance of
Commissioner Palmer. The party con-
sisted of Colonel Treadwell, Governor
Roosevelt's military secretary, who was
sent by the governor to receive Sir
Thomas Upton a number of officials
and members of New York yacht clubs,
a number of mem bers from the New
England society and other similar or
CARNATIONS. All boarded the steamer
and came up to the dock
Sir Thomas Upton, when seen at
quarantine, said that his party was
small consisting of Mr.. William Fife,
jr., Mr.. Ratzy. the sail maker, and Sir
Thomas secretary.
Sir Thomas in his welcome down the
bay received an invitation extending
the courtesies of ffty-siX clubs while
in this country and an invitation to
lead the marine division of the Dewey
day celebration with his yacht Erin.
Both were accepted.
There was a large crowd at the Gun
ard dock when the Campania arrived.
AS the big vessel doomed up tug
bearing a big Shamrock flag came
ahead and this caused great cheering
Cheers We're given for the Shamrock
and her owner.
When Sir Thomas came over the gang
plank he was received with another
great cheer. He took off his cap and
bowed and there was a smile on his
face. He was pushed and jostled about
by the great throng like cOuntryman
in line for a ticket at a circus, but he
took it all in good nature.
Upon my word, 1 did not expect

Il don't doubt it." answered Sir
Thomas, laughingly. you've always
done that"
No cup challenger was ever before
given a reception that would compare
with that accorded to Sir Thomas.
The party proceeded to the Fifth
Avenue hotel.
Sir Thomas was anxious to be in
formed how the betting stood on the
to 75 in favor of the Columbia. He ap-
peared to be surprised and said that
there was a large amount of English
money that had been brought over
here and that all they could get was

WILD WHITE SHEEP.
TFrom Outing.1


This rare wild white sheep is found
nowhere in the world but Alaska, and
few specimens for mounting whole
have ever been obtained. This species,
named owls DALI by Prof. Dali. differs
from it's cousin, the Rocky mountain
big horn (ovis montana), in color, owls
montana being a dull brown in mid
summer, changing to a grayish drab
in winter, with a light ashy colored
patch over the rump all the year. while
the owls DALI is snow white at all sea-
sons; in fact, there is not a colored hair
on any part of its body. He is not
quite so stockily built as our big
horn" yet more trim and shapely. Two
of my specimens stood forty-two inches
at the shoulder. His limbs are not
quite so heavy, and his horns will not
average as large at the base, although
quite as long. The horns of my larg-
est specimen of 1897 measured AZ
inches in length and 141h inches in cir
conference at the base.
The flesh is the most delicious of all
wild game. In the summer this sheep
lives chiefly on the rich, succulent
growth of the asplenium septentrionaIe.
which grows in the crevices of the rock
on the sunny slopes of this rugged
range. This beautiful animal must en-
dure great hardships to survive the
winters of this icy north.
