Congressman Livingston OF Georgia was

He replied as follows:

has decreed that people who wish to keen
growing cocks in their back yards shall
pay a dollar license fee for each. This is
good, but not prohibitive. Exaspersted
people who have had their morning naps
broken up by these songsteri will say that
any man who is heartless enough to keep
such nuisance at all is probably SC de-
voted to 1t as to pay the fee, and then

License fees will not make the nuisance

The Philippine Commission at Manila is
desirous Of creating civil service board;
possibly because that course would tend to
show a disposition on the part Of the Ad-
ministration to except its Crown Colonies
from the operation of the general Repub-
licaE spoils system. The idea is a clever
one and there is little doubt that II will be
accepted and acted upon in Washington. or
at Canton. as the case may be. Civil
service reform in the Philippines would
furnish a cheering slogan from now until
November. after which time, the fates be-
irg propitious, the Rathbones, Neelys, and
people Of that sort who have done good
work in the campaign can be rewarded
exactly as usual.

The candidates so far settled upon have
all been photographed in khaki, or cowhide

that they are Of the common people, and the

AT KANSAS CITY.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. July 2.-There are
many things indicative Of the fact that as
convention centre Kansas City is more
or less unsophisticated AS an instance,
when the matter Of feeding the multitude
is mentioned. attention is proudly called
TO the fact that Kansas City is the gateway
through which must pass the immense
wheat crop of Kansas. The yield of wheat
IN Kansas this season will feed 20,Go0. SOe
people for a year
One of the prominent natives says: Few
realize that Kansas City -four mills made
million barrels of flour last year; that
a creamery butter factory is churning a
carload of the iuest creamery butter a
day; that eight or ten million pounds OF
poultry ara received here during the year;
that 1,5OO cases. containing 45, 600 dozen
eggs, are received on an average every
day the year round. or that Kaw Valley
will produce enough potatoes this summer
to give every person in the United States,
Hawaii. and Porto Rico a meal
If New York were to entertain a
crowd like the one expected here next
week it would be compelled to call upon
the resources of almost the entire coun-
try for the furnishing OF food. At the
Republican Convention in Philadelphia.
ten carloads, containing over 100000
pounds Of meat were shipped from Kan

No railroad man will hazard a guess OF
how many people Will spend the nights in

number Will surely run into the thousands
from the space already ordered Each OF
the roads is cleaning up part Of its yards
for these trains. The Burlington has thick
walks OF cinders between the tracks. and
its yard at the foot Of the west bluff op-
posite the Union depot will be as clean as
wel-kept streets The Union Pacific IS
putting its yards on West Twelfth Street
in the same condition. The Santa Fe will
get its cars on as high ground as possible

1t is the problem of getting the visitors
out OF Kansas City after the Convention
that is worrying the railroad men. The
visitors will be two or three days coming.

Continuing this ardent Missouri Ian says:
-One million pounds of surplus fresh
and cured meats are always on hand az
the packing houses. TO be used on rush
orders or in cases OF emergency. Local
packers can supply over 10000 people
a day with their combined normal out
put of $50 carloads. containing 100000
pounds OF meat. IN case OF necessity this
output could be increased readily 80
per cent We are right in the centre
OF the meat producing section Of cattle,
from the finest bred natives to the COM
mon rangers, which can be shipped here
within twelve hours.
"At the present time Kansas City
packers are supplying IS per cent OF
the beef consumed by the 200. Geo sol
diers Of the British Army in South Afri-
ca. who are eating $4,000 pounds OF
meat a day. and the American soldiers
in the Philippines. who eat less meat than
the Engiishmen per man, on account Of
the climate. The feeding OF the visitors

ment to the PACKERS It's just another

Local -four mills can perform their
share of the task in supplying large num-
bers Of people with food products. The
FIVE mills located here have a combined
output Of 5000 barrels OF wheat -four a

As details of the horrible catastrophe OF

its features was A thousand times more
shocking than even the sickening story
published yesterday made 1t appear. In
hellish contrast to the heroism displayed
by hundreds OF brave American fremen,
sailors. and tugboatmen. today the story is
told Of dastards or tugboats who fought
like the demons they were to save prop
rty from the burning vessels. for the sake
of the salvage they might earn, and, at tn
same time, brutally and GendishIy refused
to succor the poor wretches who were

captain, il is charged, with club drove

them as they sank: 1T takes money to get

Could anything be more dsstardly or
sickening? Are such things possible prod
ucts of our boasted Christian civilization? I?
We are glad to learn that the miscreants
who did this devils work are known, ard
that they viii be exposed. and perhaps
punished. But no punishment possible
under the law could be adequate.
The disaster has demonstrated the fact
that the unscienufc conditions under
which the docks and wharves Of New York

sible for the horror to be repeated at
any of several hundred places. Tinder box

Mules and Horses and Jphere to
BuY Them.

Eighty head of fresh stock at
one time-just think of it -
Sounds out of sight, doesn't it
But that is inst the number of
mules and horses received in one
shipment this week by the Lam
caster Mercantile Co. at its sta
bles here. And it should be
borne in mind that this is our
second big shipment this early
in the season-another pointer to
show where the people come
when they want stock.
In the lot now on hand are,
unquestionably, some of the
finest animals that ever trod the
streets of Lancaster, if not the
finest. This is a broad assertion,
but it is fully sustained by the
animals themselves. which every
body Is cordially invited to call
and see.
Oar new saddle horses, harness
horses and combination horses
are, indeed, ideal specimens of
horse flesh, shapely, we'll bred,
Of fine action and gentle. Now's
the time to get the horse you've
been looking for. And, as to
Mules, we'll, if we can't suit you
the mule is yet unborn that will
fill your bill, for we now have
corraled in our lots the cream OF
the western markets in the mule
line
A word about our prices. We
are standing fatfooted on the
ground floor Of rock-bottom
prices. OF course it stands to
reason that we can sell lower
than the lowest, for buying in
large quantities as we do we
get inside rates on every ami
NAL, and we are going to give
our customers the benefit Of our
close purchases. There are no
strings tied to our stock-every-
thing loose, wide open and
ready to move out for mighty
little money or good paper.

Four masked men held the town

thousand dollars. The robbers
were followed by n fusillade Of
bullets and are being traced now
