AMONG FARMERS.

Many Of the cheese factories in this
county will run all winter b cause Of
the high price of cheese.
John Fitzgerald of Meeme was in the
city on Monday having driven a number
of cattle here which he sold to local
| butchers.
| The dfy fall Of this year does not Gre
ate the same alarm among farmers that
dry falls did some years ago as many
farmers are now supplied with artesian
wells.
1t is now quite apparent that the
farmers of this county are opposed to the
good roads movement, and as far as
this county is concerned state aid for
county roads will receive no support.
Saturday last was red letter day for
farmers in this city. Up to noon the
warehouses and local elevators We're
crowded with teams and even during
the afternoon all were comfortably busy
10 Weinfurther has had good year
selling farm machinery. He has travel
ed over five counties and says selling
has been by no means difficult this year
as farmers felt they could afford to make
investments
If you get at the real sentiment of
farmers they are not displeased with
present conditions though the advance
in the price of their products has not
kept pace with the advance in the price
of what they purchase
Geese bring higher price in Mantle
woo now than they do in Milwaukee.
They are purchased directly from the
farmers by consumers the people in
many instances going ont on the coln-
try roads to meet the farmers. After
purchasing, they drive them in in fiocks.
The American English syndicate has
had agents in Montana throughout the
summer securing options on large sheep
ranches. Options have been secured on
500, 600 head of sheep and 800, 900 acres
If land suitable for sheep ranches. The
capital stock of the concern is $40, 900, 600
Old and experienced sheep men are con-
nected with the concern This will be
the biggest institution of it's kind in the
world
THE State Board of Control is about
to take steps to compel the relatives of
insane people at the state hospitals to
pay the state for their keeping there,
when their means are sufficient to en-
able them to do so. The county from
which an insane person is sent to state
hospital pays 81. 30 for every such person.
Whenever relatives can afford it this
sum is collected from them by the coun-
ty and it thus appears that the afflicted
people are not public expense. But the
state pays 81 30 per week and is rarely
repaid Now the Board is about to re
auire that the sum due the state must
be paid before that due the county is.
County Boards will then have direct
interest in insisting that the state be paid.

The latest Kansas soldier to fall in
the Filipino war was mere boy. When
Resil Manahan enlisted in company A
of the Twentieth Kansas regiment he
was only a few months past his six
teenth birthday On the morning that
the recruiting Office was opened in this
city he was up before daybreak, and
was one of the first to appear at the
doors of the old court house. He was
so enthusiastic over the prospect of
fighting Spaniards that his spirit in
fected several of his fellow students at
the Topeka high school and he was
responsible for their enlistment also.
Young Manahan did not have the op-
portunity of facing the Spanish army,
and his death was due to a Filipino
bullet.

ASSASSINATION comes to the aid
of the prosecution in the Dreyfus
case. There is no doubt that the
attack on NJ. Labor, Dreyfus
leading counsel. was a part of the
conspiracy that has kept France in
a ferment for years. 1t came at a
time when the defense was in po-
sition to involve the leading prose
cutor of Dreyfus in such a mass of
contradiction as to make his evi
dence worthless. NJ LabOri had
we'll prepared himself for this work
and he alone could do it. Putting

having his evidence analyzed by a
skillful lawyer well prepared to
expose its weakness.

WILL sOLIDIFY DEnOCRACY.

When Mr.. Croker left for Europe
a few months ago he declared that,
in his opinion, the authority of the
United States should be extended
over and made permanent in the
Philippines. He now declares that
he was wrong. He says that he
came to this change of opinion
after long study and consultation
with eminent European statesmen.
He believes that a colonial policy
entered upon by the United States
is dangerous and not at all in con-
sonance with the past history of
this country. His utterances upon
this subject, in connection with
what he said in reference to W. j.
Bryan, will do much to bring all
dem ocrats throughout the country
to one way of thinking, and when
the struggle of 1900 opens up a
solid democracy will confront the
republican party.

probable yield of 100000 bales

year. Mr.. Neill's figures have
usually been trustworthy. but a
crop of -, 900, 900 bales this year
does not appear to be possible.
Reports from all parts of Texas 60

in unusually bad condition, and in
many of the best cotton counties
the farmers do not count on more
than half a crop, or even less. All

Poor people who have to con-
slider expenses in the household
will eat less beef when the butchers
advance the price, as they now
threaten to do. Cattle are higher
than they have been for a good
many years, and butchers say that
consumers must help them bear
the burden of higher prices. But
hogs are lower than they have ever
been, and pork and bacon are
cheap.
