10 Sell Then-
When the sheep arc sheared it is .
good time TO select out those to be mnT-
kcted. Under present conditions it is
hardly advisable to keep sheep that do
not produce good fieeces of wool. The
quality Inusi be such as to bring good
prices. ard the quantity must be sut-
hcicnt
When a select flock IS kept on Il small
farm, nearly or quite all OF them should
be good breeding ewes and bring good
lamb every spring in addition TO grow
ing good fleece oil wool
Many farmers make a serious mistake
in failing to feed their stock until they
are in u good marketable condition. In
many cases sheep well fattened for inar-
ket will bring ice as much rs those
sold in a poor condition. Not only is
more realized on account of the increase
in weight. but better price can al
ways be hod per pound for good faa
sheep than for poor ones. With prop
er management sheep can be fattened
easily and rapidly. but they are easily
cloyed by oyerfe.4iing and require more
care in this respect than almost any
other kind Of stock. Commence feed
ing small quantity Of grain and grad
ually increase until they arc given all
that they can eat up clean. 1t is not
best to depend upon corn alone. While
it is one of tbs. best fnttcning foods. yet
if given TO sheep daily as their princi-
pal ration they soon tire of it and will
not thrive as they should.
Any animal. when fed hca,i!y should

pecially irue of the sheep. II kept in

way keep the sheep in good appetite.
See that they have all that they will
eat up clean and a, the same time are
not overfed.
With old sheep the hes, plan of fat
t.ning is on good farm pasturage,
changing from one place TO another
every two or three weeks. IT is difficult

kind. Fairly good success may lie
realized by feeding ground grain. but
the more economical plan is to depend
upon good pasturagc, selling whenever

BEFORE LIFTING THE VEIL.
Prince Tran Paves the Way For Disclosure
of Horrors at Pekin.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, July 12.-(Thursday)-The
Shanghai correspondent of the Express
gives the text of a long edict of Price
Tuan, dated June 29th, and addressed
to the Chinese Ambassadors, which the
Express declares is identical with the
message from Emperor Kwang Hsu.
mentioned by the Shanghai correspondent
OF the Daily Mail and with the Chinese
edict published in Washington. The EX-
Prince Tuan's party is making an at
tempt to disguise the fact that the worst
that could be anticipated has happened
The edict contains the following para
graph:
1.-The anger of our people knew no
bounds. They could not be restrained.
The task of guarding the Legations, which
before was difficult, was made impossi-
BILE
Elsewhere referring to the desire to pro-
tect the Legations still unharmed, it
says:
"If it is impossible for us to continue
this protection let it be represented to
the powers that we must be held blame
less for the anger of our people grows
with the rising of each sun that sees
more and yet more foreigners and SOL
diers coming to overrun and lay waste
our country and slay our people
The correspondent says the edict is in
tended to pave the way for a final lifting
of the veil over the recent history of
Pekin.

Admiral Remey, commanders chief

head of Admiral Kempff, whom he ranks.
Tt is believed that his cablegram this
morning relating to the landing of the
Ninth Infantry, has lost date line, for
it is not doubted that the troops were
landed at Taku instead of at Che Foo as
his message reads.
Admiral Kempff scored another credit,
through the formal statement by the
Chinese Government that the lombard
ment of the forts at Taku Which was
done over his protest and without his
participation, precipitated the crisis at
Pekin.

PEACE SEEMS MEAN
British Success at Bethlehem
Improves Prospects.
All of Free State Government Except President
Steyn Surrendered. Collapse of Dewet's
forces Daily Expecle
CBy the Associated Press.)

Pretoria, July 10.-(Tuesday)-
British success at Bethlehem has con-
siderably improved the prospects for
peace, it is said. The whole of the
Government Of President Steyn of the
Orange Free State has surrendered ex-
cept the President himself. Those off,
cials who are prisoners have been al
lowed to communicate with President
Steyn for the purpose of attempting to
prove to him the uselessness of a contin-
uance of the struggle which can only pro-
duce bloodshed without any conterbalonc-
ing advantages. The collapse of the forces
OF General Dewet is expected daily. The
Beers here say that the men have taken
a solemn oath never to personally sur
render, but they are beginning to see the
unfairness Of sacrificing life to personal
wishes. It is expected that when Gem
eral Batho learns of the defeat of his
solleagues ne will gladly enter into con-
ferences looking to the establishment OF
peace. The need of more civil admin
istrators is urgent, and the necessity for
their appointment is becoming daily more
apparent. Intelligent administrators
with a knowledge of the people could un-
doubtedly greatly aid in the future settle
ment of difficulties inasmuch as frank
feeling in submission is prevalent among
the Beers.

braska would give 25 600 Republican ma
jority no matter what the platform l
say Nebraska will give more than 25,000
against the Republican party this year
because of the platform that has been
adopted by the Democratic party There
is no question about the position of the
Democratic party of this State Read
the platform adopted at Kansas City
and you will find that the Democracy
of Nebraska is in exact accord with the
Democracy of the Union as that Democ
racy is set forth in the magnificent plat
form adopted at Kansas City, and with
the principles there enunciated we can go
forth and make courageous fight.
Il am confident that the Democrats and
Populists and Silver Republicans of this
State will place their devotion of princi
pie above any ambition for office, that
before morning they will agree upon a
ticket that will be satisfactory to those
who make the fight this fall. 1t has re-
quired charity and liberality and con-
science for US to keep the three reform
parties working together, but if it has
been necessary we have always found a
sufficient quantity of these virtues to en-
able us to get along, and | think this
State has set an example to the other
States of the nation in the unifying of
the reform forces against the common
enemy.
THE platform adopted at Kansas City
has declared one issue more important
than any other in this campaign. l want
you to go back home and present these
issues to the people, and to call their
attention to the fact that if this nation
once denies the doctrine that it rests for
its authority upon the consent of the
governed, then there is nothing but force
for it TO rest upon, and if there be any
who are willing TO risk a government
resting upon brute force, let it be known
in this State that an overwhelming ma
jority of the people prefer to base their
government unon the only solid founda-
tion, the consent Of the governed. l have
such faith in the intelligence and patriot
ism of the people of this State that l be-
lieve when these issues are presented to
them and they come face to face with the
questions upon which this campaign is
to turn, we will find they will come to
the support Of those doctrines set forth
at Kansas City"
Mr.. Bryan also spoke before the Popu-
list and Free Silver Republican conven-
| tions, the sentiments being Of much the
same tenor.
Charles A, Towne in his address to the
Democrats made his statement even
more positive than to the Silver Republi-
cans that he would withdraw from the
| ticket.
1t was after midnight when the confer
ence committees of the three parties
made their first report of the conven-
tions On the opportionment of State
offices. The report was taken up for dis
| cussion in the convention.

EXPECTING DISASTER AT TIEN TsIN.
The Hope There Now is in Receiving Early
Reinforcements
lBy the Associated Press. }

London July 12.-(Thursday, $3.50 a. NO.
The Chinese situation again bears a
most omnious aspect. Eighteen days ago
Sir Robert Hart dispatched his last mes
senger, declaring the situation was des-
perate and since then no word has come
from the Europeans in Pekin.
According to the Daily Mails Shanghai
correspondent Ii Hung Chang has re-
ceived an imperial decree ordering his
immediate departure for Pekin, presum-
ably to break the news of the Pekin
tragedy to the European powers, and in
his usual role of negotiator with Europe
in difficult matters to endeavor to act
as mediator and to avert the vengeance
of the powers.
To add to the grimness of this sugges-
ton, all advices from Tien Tsin tend
to confirm the reports of the perilous
conditions of the allied forces and belle
the optimist Chinese runners. Unless
reinforcements speedily reach Tien Tsin
another disaster may be expected.
Tien Tsin correspondents say that no
advance is possible until September 1st.
and that explanations are being asked
by the papers here of the tardy action Of
Japan in sending troops, since it is known
that she was ready and willing to send
them and that Russia raised no objection
to her doing so. 1t is limited that a
difficulty arose as to the manner in which
Japan was to be recouped for her heavy
outlay. Rumors are current that Japan
demanded the cession OF Chinese port
The Russian papers report that the Box
ers are ravaging Manchuria and have
damaged sixty miles of the railway
threatening Telin and Kirin, while Port
Arthur and Neu Chwang are said to be
endangered. Russia therefore, has noti-
fed the powers of her intention to dis
patch a large military force to Manchuria
1t appears that the Russian censorship
is suppressing all references to this mat
ter, and it transpires that 5000 regular
troops have already arrived from Port
Arthur and Amur to protect the Man
churia railway, and that other troops are
now on their way to Manchuria.

EVENING STAR REsHIpPING.
Good Ledge of Shipping Ore Opened
From Two Points.

The Evening Star shipped its first car
load to the Northport smeter under the
new management last week and is opening
up the ore bodies In such a way as to in
sure large regular shipments.
The mine was originally opened by two
main tunnels fifty feet apart which have
been connected by an upraise and which
have developed two lodges No. tunnel
cut an iron and gold ledge at its portal
and was continued for $50 feet without
cutting the second ledge. No. 2 cut the
iron and gold ledge 142 feet from its mouth
and directly under the portal of No. /. Be-
ing continued ITO feet south, 1t cut cop
per and gold ledge at depth of 225 feet
below the surface. on which an upraise
was made to No. tunnel. A crosscut was
run westward by the new management
from No. tunnel and again cut the same
ledge ITO feet from where 1t was cut by
the main tunnel. Drifts are now being
run from the No. tunnel northward on
the copper and gold ledge and southwark
on the iron and gold ledge.
The ore shipped came from the copper
gold ledge, which is about twelve feet wide
and has about five feet of ore of good
shipping value. The iron-gold ledge carries
lower values, but If It should come up to
would pay to ship. 1t is believed to be
identical with the Monte Cristo ledge on
the other side Of the mountain In which
the values are improving as the Evening
Star ground is approached.
