with instructions TO experiment with a
new invention at the McFadden press In
this city. This invention is n "puller."

understands that when bale goes between
the heavy lids of the compress that 1t is

the press then fix the ties or bands around
the bale, and pull them as tight as posi-
Bile. The strength OF the men aud the use
OF their hands alone are not sufficient
however 10 tighten the bands so as 70
hold the bale at the size or density to
which 1t had been pressed, and there is
always a relaxing of the bale. giving 1t In
some places a 'puffed" appearance, and
allowing 1t 10 become larger ;nan it is
desired it should be. The invention which
Mr.. Harris has is designed to take the

the size of the bale while It is In the press,
and it will hold at that place, giving a
density OF almost fifty pounds. Nj. Har-
ris has never attached his Invention to n
compress and therefore It Is not known TO
what extent 1t will be successful. The Nc
Fadden people have selected the Drenham

The women? Well. the man who
can pick out q short grass woman
from the clothes she wears ,hsepene
trated deeper into the mysteries Of
fashionable apparel than the writer Of
these lines. Standing close to The
governors elbow on Monday night
was fair young woman from one Of
the southwestern counties. As she
chatted gayly about life on the Kan
sas plains she spoke proudly of how
many COWS she could milk and what
q time she had last summer breaking
a vicious pony. And yet the girl
was clothed not only fashionably, but
elegantly, and she wore her fine raj
ment like a princess. The men of
Kansas are slow and plodding in
some respects and cling with tenacity
to their local traditions, but this is
not true OF the fairer sex. we have
an idea that q change in woman's
apparel reaches Dodge City about as
quickly as it does Topeka. Those
short grass women are somewhat of
the nature of o distinguished .ex-
senator of Kansas, who declared that
his party couldn't flop any quicker
than he could, for they manage to
flop with the fashions as swiftly as do
sisters. And then those Western
and Central Kansas people seem to
have money to burn, and the fires of
fashionable raiment are none too hot
for them.-Topics.

The assertion made by an anti an
nexationist paper that 1.-THE Filipinos
fought for Independence and won
their fight" needs some modification
in order to make it agree with the
facts. The Filipinos fought for in
dependence several times and were
always beaten. The were beaten just
before the American war began. The
rebellion was subdued several months
before Dewey sailed into the Bay Of
Manila. Spanish authority was su
preme over all the Philippines at that
time, SO far as it eter was supreme
there. The United States furnished
Aguinaldo and his confederates with
arms. sunk the Spanish navy, and
destroyed Spanish power in the CAPT
tai and largest island of the group.
The American military victory at
Manila subsequently and the treaty
Of peace completed the destruction of
Spanish authority in the islands. The
Filipinoe never won independence.
They had stopped fighting before
the war between the United States
and Spain began. They never could
have beaten the Spaniards single
handed. The Americans drove the
Spaniards out of the islands. and are
now going to govern them. giving
such home rule to the natives as is
consistent with order, with the obser
vance Of the rights of all parts Of the
and with the interests of
the American people.-Globe Demo

In former years the Democratic
party was in favor of sound money,
and in former years the Democratic
party was in favor of expansion.
Thomas Jefferson added the Louis
ana purchase while he was President,
aud General Jackson wiped out the
United States bank, because he hated
paper money, and favored coin in
stead of bank bills. But the Democ
racy of today cares nothing for the
memories of Thomas Jefferson aud
Andrew Jackson. John P. Altgeid
and William Jennings Bryan are the
new Democratic saints, and they are
opposed to expansion and are OPP
posed to honest money. Old time
Democrats will not always follow the
leadership of the Altgelds and Bry-
ans.

When does the twentieth century
begin? It seems strange that this
should be a vexed question. but it is.
It comes Is a frequent inquiry in the
mail of newspaper Offices. The
twentieth century begins January l,
1901. Next year is the last of the
nineteenth century, for the simple
reason that it takes 100 units t.
make a hundred. Ninety nine is
one short. If a debt of $1,000 was
to be discharged nobody would think
of reckoning one dollar of the
amount as part of an additional
hundred. Nineteen hundred years
make nineteen centuries, and the
twentieth century, consequently, will
not be here until the first day of 1901.
It will give way to the twenty first
century on January l, 2O01.

Speaking of the defeat of the sup
Elemental railroad bill the Kansas
City Times, the recognised organ Of
the late Populist State administration,
says: THE defeated measure was an
act designed to make the court of
visitation law operative. Without
the supplemental bill the new court
is powerless to enforce its own provi-
eions. The old board of railroad
commissioners having been abolished
this week by enactment and the court
of visitations icing rendered power
less, the people are left with no tri-
bunal powerful enough to afford relief
from railroad injustice. The public
is, therefore, worse off than when the
extra session began"

a funny story. A man, evidently
under the influence of liquor, fell
out of a wagon while driving through

picked up, placed on hastily impro

him into a building near by. Then
it was noticed that one Of the good

the fourth was a life insurance man.
