GREAT PorAT0 COUNTRY.
six Counties in Kansas Yield an Immense
Product.


Product.
A portion OF the middle west which
has become quite noted for speciality
in agriculture is that known as. the
Kaw valley potato region, in eastern
Kansas, says the Iowa State Register.
This is comprised In those portions Of
the counties of Wyandotte, Johnson.
Lavenworth, Douglas, Jefferson and
Shawnee (more especially the first
four), constituting the sandy loan
bottom" lands one or two miles wide
and extending westward sixty-fiye
miles from its junction with the Mis-
souri, at Kansas City, according to Sec
rotary Coburn of the Kansas Board OF
Agriculture. OF the States total area
planted to Irish potatoes about one
third is in the six counties named, Wy
aESotte largely leading in 1898 with
6,434 acres. On a somewhat diminish
ed acreage this year the yield is rather
above 100000 bushels, ranging from
100 to $50 bushels per acre and aver
aging 145 bushels. In yield and quail
ity this years crop is one of the best
yet grown.
Early varieties, for summer market
ing are planted mostly, and among
these the Early Ohio appears by all
odds the favorite, followed to small
extent by Early Rose, Early Kansas
and Acme, in the order named. The
small proportion of late sorts planted
are of the Burbank and Snowflake va
rieties Even for winter use the early
varieties are planted early and left in
the ground after ripening, without Dig
ging, until October, thereby better re-
tanning their variety and favor. While
some home grown stock is planted,
northern grown seed is found prefer
able, and each fall thousands of bush
els are shipped in by planters and deal
ers, mainly from Minnesota and east
ern North Dakota. in the Red River
Valley.
The Kaw Valley potatoes find their
market in all parts of the country, from
Colorado to New York and from Can
ada to the Gulf. Early in the present
season Chicago and Minneapolis claim
ed a part of the crop, and some of it
went in the direction Of New York and
Pittsburg, but the bulk found markets
in the South and Southwest. Texas,

LEXINGTON, Ky, October lot
Henry Schmulbach's "Eyelet'' gave an
other excellent performance on the
track here this afternoon, winning the
race in which he was entered, with COM
paratiVe case.
To-day's score of five races was
made notable by the breaking of one
worlds record in the trotting of a fast
mile over a rather slow track. 1t was
in the first heat of the Ashland stake.
Peter the Great and Tommy Briton
showed the greatest speed ever seen in
a public race when they trotted head
and head the half mile in 1:0112, with
the second quarter in 291a.
BY many it was considered bad
driving that very possibly lost the race
for the two heavy favorites. They kept
together to the last eighth when Brit

AS USUAL
Bethany Had a New Code of Rules to Use
Against the Madisons.

Betnany'HAd new COue OF hu1eS 10 Oso
Against the Madisons.
AS in times of yore Bethany con-
froEted the visiting Madison A. C. with
a new code of very up-to-date rules,
also, incidentlly, with officials from
among her own students, the referee
being Mr.. Cochran, the manager of the
college team.
The final score was 10 to 0 in Beth
any's favor. One of the most surpris-
ing decisions of the referee was that no
matter if the bali was in play when he
blew his whistle the ball was down.
In the last half. when the second
touchdown was made, Capt Kincheloe
had called time and with several of his
men was consulting with the timekeep-
ers, leaving one end undefended. Beth
any carried the ball around the unde-
Tended end fer a touchdown. 1t was
i'loyely billiards"
I Crpt. K!ineheloe said last night that
he had a return date. But when Beth
any plays Madison on Madison's home
grounds, they have Capt Kincheloes
wcrd for honest officials and fair and
square treatment.

body else in the street had gone some
where, so there wasn't much risk in
saying they were going and then stay

they knew I'd be out and around the
neighborhood giving the snap away, and
SO they sent me out in the country to
Uncle Jims. When their seaside trip
was over they just opened up the front
of the house and sent for me to come
home. The night after | got there Mr..
Bunker came around to call on sister,
and they were sitting on the porch and
was in the hammock. Pretty soon
Mr.. Bunker looks hard at sisetr and
says:

the hammock. Sister laid it on herself

''Yoa should have heard sister

And what was the result?" asked the

THE COLE GIRL.

In jaunty scarlet jacket,
Ana mannsh little shoe,
A hat with quill and tartan,
And a skirt that clears the dew,
On the grassy liks | see her
Every glorious summer day,
And forget to mind my putting
While / watch her graceful play.
We have met in dreamy waltZes
When rose was on her breast,
But her partner at the bunkers
Is the one who knows here best
Though the ball is lost forever
And her hair Is out of curl
Nothing spoils the sunny temper
Of the pretty golfing girl.
If all the women once were flowers,
AS an ancient legend tells,
She has doomed sprig OF heather
On the breezy Scottish fellss
For the wind that roams the crackers
And the blue of morning skies
Still is ripping in her laughter.
Still is beaming from her eleS.
But in gay or golden weather,
Stepping lightly to the tees.
Making drives with daring swiftness,
"Holing OUT with merry ease,
To the painted balls not only
Does she bring the golfers arts,
For with Cupid as her caddie
She is playing with our hearts.

NEW BOARD
Of Combine Directors Met For the
First Time Yesterday in Pittsburg.
Pilot Wage Scale Did Not Come Up.
Pool Pilots Have Settled Their
Dispute River News.

PlTTSBURG, Pa. October 10.-The
newly elected officers and directors of
the Monongahela River Consolidated
Coal and Coke Company met at 10
O'Clock this morning and were in SEES
sion until almost noon. The following
persons comprise the bard: j. B. Finley,
Henry c. Fownes, George |. Whitney,
Capt S. S. Brown, Capt. w. B. Rodg-
ers, Capt. August lutte, John H. Jones,
Hugh Moren and o. A. Blackburn.
The officers are; President, j. B. Fin
ley; treasurer, George l. Whitney; Sec
rotary, George w. Theis.
A member OF the board said after
the meeting that nothing of importance
was done. No general manager was
elected, and it was his impression that
there would be none for the reason that
the ccal operators in the combination
will probably operate their own business
until July l next. 1t is thought that
after that time the business of the con-
Germ will be carried on through the
heads of departments. Much time was
spent in discussing the policy to be
pursued, and every member of the
board had his own ideas about that
matter.
The pilots question was not consid-
cred and it is net likely to be for the
present. 1t was stated that SO long as
the operators Individually conduct
their business they will do the hiring.
Mr.. Finley, Mr.. Fownes and Mr.. Whit
ney will look after the financial end of
the organization, and the coal men on
the board will look alter the business
end.
The pool pilots, who met yesterday,
have settled their wage dispute and
many of the operators have granted the
scale rates. The pilots eliminated that
portion of the wage scale that maze
a distinction in the price for towing
fats and barges The scale now reads
that pilots towing barges and flats will
be paid $500 year, and when hired
by the month $3.50 will be the rate. 1t
was announced that few of the pilots
who went to work this morning in the
pools are receiving more than the scale
rate. 1t is also said that some under
standing will probably be reached with
the Ohio river pilots. Some Of the op-
orators are in favor of meeting them
half way, and the matter may be COM
promised. No trouble of any kind is
anticipated.

A Democratic View Of Fusion,

Barney Sheridan, editor of the
Paola Spirit, Democratic, says:
"Fusion is indefensible wrong-doing
it is marque and reprisal methods
on the high seas in time Of peace; it
is consorting with political freeboot-
ers for spoils, bartering principle for
place, preaching heresy for price,
seating harlots around the Democratic
board that unholy lust may be graf
flied under the Democratic roof II
it is further condoned and longer
practiced in Kansas decent sons of
degenerate Democratic fathers will
rise up in mass to uncover their max
edness to the world.
Every Democrat who has gone to
congress or to the state house out OF
the vile harem of fusion in this state
is already execrated and forever
damned and ought to be.
1.-The record before us shows that
where Republicanism has slain its
thousands Of Democrats, fusion with
Populists has slain its ten thousands
1t has wrecked our party organization
and set men to lying and deceivlng
and stealing on the highway of pol
tics; it has tempted leaders into
trickery and read to the rank and file
the first lessons in political corrup-
ton; it has turned the old men from
the gates and the young men from
their music; it has killed outright
two-t thirds of the Democratic news
papers Of the State and crippled the
other third so they are well nigh help
less, it has taught the damnable her.
esy that the Democratic party is not
bound to respect and protect the
rights Of property as well as the
rights Of individuals; it has put a
price on the ballot and a brand on
the forehead Of every prominent Dem
ocrat who profited by the unholy al
lance; it has in eight years financially
impoverished more Democrats than
all the thirty years straight Demo-
cratic campaigns since Kansas was
admitted into the union; it has made
brave men towards and rich men beg
gars, put political tramps like PETER

political history over which the
younger Democratic generation will
yet exclaim, Would to God it had
never been written.
