THE NEWBERRY HERALD AND NEWS, NOYEAr3I1R Is i
Women as Farmers.
(W. II. Draper, in Frank Loslio's
Poprlar Monthly for October.)


Women who own and run their
farms, without any ablo assistance,
constitute thirty per cent. Of tho
farming population of Kansas and
Oklahoma. Women and girls who
arc now ongagod in farmworl in
Kansas constitute fifty por cont. of
the farming population. This largo
percentage is partly caused by tho
absence Of tho Twentieth Kansas
Volunteers III tho Philippines, all OK
cepting Il worry few Of whom uro
farmers, and who, upon going to war,
loft their farm work in tho hands of
their wives, sisters and sweethearts.
To say that these women have failed
to do their duty in cultivating tho
crops, would meet with as much
meritod contradiction as to CHARGE
tho enemy.
In fact, Kansas will produce
larger crops this year than any pre-
coding season in the States history.
The wheat crop will be u little short,
but that was caused by very cold
winter. OF every other cereal and
farm product there will be Il su.
perabundancc. TO tho Kansas
woman, with hor usual daring grit
and obstinate resolve, is due those
excellent crops. The labor thoy
havo perfomed merits all the honor
and wealth thoso crops bring forth.
During times of peace thi,ty per
cont. of tho farmers in Kansas are
womon, while Oklahoma comes for
ward with about tho Same percent
age. At present tho Oklahoma
women arc slightly behind their
Kansas sisters in numbers, but not
in the amount Of work. Oklahoma
women, although they havo not boen
as long engaged on farms, are moro
active and can do moro work and got
better results. That their crops
yield larger acreage is due, some
what, to the fertile soil, which is
also now and moro productive than
Kansas land. But between the wo
men of tho State and Territory there
is no jealousy. Each go about their
own work, bent upon making a largo
crop with the same earnest zeal as
the most steadfast German farmer
The number Of women who work on
farms in kansas will reach over {, 900,
| while the entire number of farmers
IN the State aggregate 1900, exclu-
slve Of families. In Oklahoma the
poi ulation is smaller, but the per
centage is about equal.

Grape Seed and Appendicitis.
(New Orleans Times-Domocrat.

(New Orleans Times Democrat
"The popular impression that ap-
pondicitis is always caused by some
small foreign body which sets up
an inflammation in the veriform
appendix is a popular dolusion," re-
marked an experienced surgeon the
other day. "Most people are afraid
to cat grapes on that account, 1magi-
ming that stray soed may find it's
way into the appendix and bowl them
over: Of course such thing is in
the realms of possibility, but the
chances arc almost too remote to
talk about. Appendicitis is very
rarely caused by q foreign body of
any kind. Tho inflammation seems
to bo Of catarrhal nature, and | am
inclined to believe that the disease is
in somo way associated with la
grippe At any rate it is a signif-
cant fact that large percentage of
those who have it have suffered from
an attack of grip short time before
tho seizure. The old grape seed'
theory caused a great deal of un-
necessary anxiety to early operators.
When they used the knife and failed
to find anything unusual in the sac
of the appendix they were disposed
to fear that they had made mistake
in tho diagnosis and that the case
was, after all, not one of appendicitis.
TO be frank, I dare say many a sur.
gaon reported tho discovery of grape
seed or something else in the same
line when the sac was really as empty
as q drum. The poor fellow had to
it to escape censure. But we know
better now, and there is no occasion
for subterfuge The time to oper.
ate for Appendicitis is between at.
tacks, whom the patient is In good
health. Tho death rate in such
cases is very small--really trifling."

Up to the present time the local

wards the formation of an organization,

sentatives of Dallas organized in that
city Saturday by electing Mr.. W. II.
Gleason as chairman and Mr.. p. II.

The bureau has suggested that these
organizations be effected in all of the
cities of the state, the object being sim
ply to afford the commercial and
freight agents an opportunity to get to-
gether once or twice month and dis
cuss matters of mutual interest. A few
of the local agents have received ad-
vices concerning the proposed move
ment from their respective headquart-

yet taken action are apprehensive that
the organization may be regarded as q

and mad his preliminary hear

Pipkin waived examination and was
bound over to the United States grand
jury of this district on the charge of
obstructing the mails. He was placed
under $500 bond, which he failed to
furnish.
Sin an interview Pipkin absolutely
denied that he had anything to do with
the holdup, and stated that he is con-
fident of being able to prove an alibi at

LINK AND I'm.

MED by the artist went to the place a

at work.
The girders were on three fiat car:
almost directly over the position IL
which they were to be placed. Over
these were constructed two bepts one
on either end of the girders and pull
lies and ropes attached to them. me
ropes were securely fastened to the
Orders and one of the heaviest ROAD
engines on this end of the santa re
was pressed into service to Ilft the
girders into the air so that the cars
could be moved from benesth them.
At 7:3O the engineer was s1gnalled TO
make the pull and all eyes present
we're fixed on the girders. Slowly the
ropes began to stretch and when the
slack was all out of them, cracking,
grinding followed and gradually the
heavy steel eirders went into the air.
The workmen then pushed the cars
from beneath them and they were
lowered to their respective posi-
tions.
The work was done very quietly,
there being no boisterous language us
ed. either by bosses or
crew of IA steel workers uand b.

Such suits as this makes it very diff
ficult for a man to obtain damages
who is worthy of IT, There has been a
great deal of complaint made about the
Mexicaps jumping on and of the trains
between mere and the smelter and
thew have been warned time and again
to keep off, but all to no avail. AT the
time this particular accident occurred
the HERALD spoke of.the reckless man
ner in which these workmen
crawled around the cars and wondered
that there were not more OF them kill
ed. Children of this nationality can
be seen most any day playing around
the yards at this point and If any OF
them should get crippled or killed it is
supposed that more damage suits would
be fled. There is reason in most
everything, but the: degree OF reason
in such legal proceedings as this, is by
far too small to be visible with the
naked eve.

Cromwell and America.

In the first instalment of his study
of Oliver Cromwell, in the Century,
Mr.. Morley takes occasion to discredit
the report that the great English
statesman ever set sail for this coun-
try, with the intention of making his
home in New England.
There is no substance in the fable,
thongh so circumstantially related,
that, in 1886, in company with his
cousin Hampden, despairiDg of his
country, he took his passage to Amer
ica, and that the vessel was stopped by
an order in Council. All the ;proba-
bilities are against it, and there is no
evidence for it. What is credible
enough is Clarendon's story that five
years later, on the day when the Great
Remonstrance was passed, Cromwell
whispered to Falkland that if it had
been rejected he would have sold all
he had the next morning, and never
have seen England more, and he knew
there many other honest men of the
same resolution. So near, the Royal
ist historian reflects, was this poor
kingdom at that time to its deliver
ance
