AN IMronrANr INpusrRr.

The live stock interests Of the United
states, represented by the National
Live Stock Association now in session
at Denver, comprising forty-six state
and district associations organized in
the interest of improvement in live
stock. present TO the inquiring pubiiC
a feature OF wealth and business en-
terprise that has no rival in the matter
of Importance and scope OF work to be
accomplished.
While this association, In name and
purpose. is designed to cover the whole
of the United States in the good work
il has in view, there are but twenty
states sftiliating with the organlza-
lion, sending delegate representation
OF about 1000.
One of the special features of educa-
tion at this meeting will be the exhibi-
tion Of high grade range cattle. When
our thoroughbred breeders and hand
lers of pure bred cattle from the middle
and eastern states see what the range
country can and is producing in the
way Of beef cattle and thoroughbred
breeding animals, it may be stimulus
10 greater effort to produce only the
best that can be obtained. II is fact
that the cattle breeding country is
moving westward few years ago
range cattle men were obliged to go
east for all their breeding stock. They
are not pursuing this course today
other than 10 limited extent. Thou
sands of full blood and high grade
bulls are now raiSed west OF the Tooth
meridian, in the country generally re-
eognized as the grazing district Of the
west. The fye breeding herds Of the
middle and eastern states are drawn
on now for their choice specimens at
good prices 10 90 into the best range
herds. The quality Of cattle is receiy-
ing SO much consideration now in the
markets and on the range that moth
ing is too good for the enterprlsing
cattleman In the west
The old idea that long horned
Texas steer or scrub COW animal was
the only type Of bovine that would
thrive and make profit on the west-
ern range has been exploded and the
time Is now near by when the cattle
raisers OF the blue grass and e,oyer
states will be obliged 70 adopt all avail
able means 10 keep up with the wild
grass, shorthorn and Hereford calf
on the range. More system in hand
ling the range cattle. better winter
care ard the best available blood Of
the beef types Of cattle, are some of
the features that the National Live
stock association will help TO encour-
age in the ambition Of cattle raisers
of the west.

APPEAL FOR hEG- thLlcdN hAhhONl' 70
The Ponca City Courier tries TO in
ject into the Republican majority In
the legislature some elements Of har-
mony by a long dissertation on the
good results that would follow, and
tells them to settle their differences
inside and not outside Of party lines.
il fails, however, to tell them how
they could have turned down MeCre-
dies committee slate without outside
help II the Democrats had held back
and refused helping hand the slate
would have gone through and would
have caused some huge Republican
groans TO escape from the Courier and
other Republican sources.
Democrats everywhere are noted
for their generosity to the helpless in
times of great emergency, and the
help they extended TO the Republican
senators when they were left in the
soup was in keeping with the we'll
known impulses Of the Democratic
party to do that which is right and
which conserves the greatest good.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson is out with an
other number of his nti-Imperialist,

He also makes numerous comments on
the question of imperialism generally,

the great anti-imperialist has issued a

TO CLOSE COTTON MILLS
Until Prices Are Better Is a Plan
Proposed.

Philadelphia, Sept. 23.-About % rep
resentatives of the Southern Cotton
Spinners' association from North and
South Carolina are now in this city.
The visitors came to see the national
export exposition. While here they Will
it is said, discuss questions which may
result in temporarily shutting down a
large number of mills in the south This
is on account of the anticipated in
crease in the cost of cotton.
The present price of material such as
the mills in the association use is 81 c
per pound. 1t is expected that in so
days the price will be raised to TIC
The question whether or not it would
be advisable to take orders at the pres
ent prices or refuse them is according
ly the principal subject of discussion
with the commission men here and
among the members of the association
themselves.
Secretary Hess said that the present
prices are entirely too low and unless
an advance is made it viii be impossi-
bic to fill orders at the anticipated rise
in the price of the raw material. AS a
matter of fact, he thought it would be
better to shut down than run the mills
at a loss. Should there be a general
shut down it might affect $50 mills in
the south.

SOME HINTS ON FOOD.

a man tried leaving off meat. pota-
toes and coffee for breakfast and
adopted a breakfast of fruit, a dish of
Grape-Nuts with cream and a cup of
Postum Cereal food coffee.
His health began to improve at once
for the reason that a meat eater will
reach a place once in a while where
his system seems to become clogged
and the machinery don't work smoothly.
A change of this kind puts aside
food of low nutrftive value and takes
up food and drink of the highest value,
already partly digested and capable of
being quickly changed into good, rich
blood and strong tissue. The most
valuable feature of both Grape-Nuts
and Postum is the natural phosphate
of potash obtained from the grains
and this product is the element which
transforms albumen in the body, into
the soft gray substance which fills
brain and nerve centers. A few days
use of GraDe-Nuts and Postum will
give one a degree of nervous strength
wen worth the trial.

tofore have been known as the depart
ment of the Pacific. 1t is expected that
one department of the proposed new
division will consist of General MacAr-
thurs command, north of Mania; an
other will be General LaWtonS COM
nand south of Manila, and a thlrd
will be a. new command TO operate from

troops in the islands south of Manila,
which include the commands now at

The scheme has not yet taken Such

There is little doubt, however, that

CHINESE CAN LAND.
Cabinet Decides to Turn Otis
Down on That Point.

New York, Sept GA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Chinese will be allowed to land in the
Philippine islands temporarily, pend
ing the adoption of a definite policy by
the government. This was decided at
the last cabinet meeting, after a long
discussion, in which the views OF mem
bers of the cabinet who were present
were freely expressed.
The matter was brought up by the
Chinese minister's recent protest and
by information that a ship load of 800
Cinnamon had been stopped by Gen
eral Otis. After the meeting ca
blegram was sent to General Otis auth
orizing him to admit these Cinnamon
temporarily, with the understanding
that if it was finally decided TO exclude
all Cinnamon they should be sent back
to China.
The discussion showed that there is
much difference of opinion in the cabi-
net as to the best policy concerning
Chinese inmi igratiOn to the Philippines.
Some take the ground that if the
Philippines are to be retained as Amer
lean territory the Chinese are not
wanted there any more than they are
in the United States and that if admit
ted freely they Will soon overrun the
archipelago.
President Mckinley, Secretary Hay
and Secretary Root, however, do not
want to run counter to the wishes of
China at this time, appreciating the
desirability of being on good terms
with the Chinese government 1t is as
serted by the Chinese government that
the presence of Cinnamon in the Phil
ippines at this time is an advantage to
the Americans and some members of
the administration are inclined 70 take
this view.
While the president and cabinet will
eventually decide upon a definite policy
for the islands under military govern
ment, congress must determine whether
the Chinese shall be allowed to freely

Massachusetts Democrats Decline
George Fred Williams Nomination

Lynn, Mass, Sept. 23.-Former Mayor
Ramsdeu of this city nominated for
state auditor by the Democratic con-
vention Thursday in Boston, has de-
clined to be a candidate.
He sent a letter to Hon. W. S. Nc
Nary, secretary of the Democratic state
committee in which he says that had
the opportunity been given him he
would have declined the nomination IN
the convention. He further says:
''As the nomination places in more
or less direct association with the
authors of Thursdays wicked perver-
sion of the Democratic principles, am
compelled to regard it as a disgrace.
Evidence points to an increasing domi-
nation OF party affairs by private in
terestS rather than party welfare To
the minds of many the purpose of build
ing up a powerful organization of the
party's sake has been subordinate to
the purpose of erecting a potent ma
chine for George Fred Williams sake.
1.-The point to be gained this year in
the state committees view was the
election of a delegation to the next ma
tionaI convention, which would be de-
pended upon to support George Fred
Williams in any plans that gentleman
might want to formulate to secure
himself national recognition. 1t was
no question as to the fidelity of the
delegation to Bryan. It was for Will
Jams and Williams alone that a dele
cation was desired and the state COM
mittee determined to have such a dele
cation by fair means or foul"
