County.
Mckinley Suspeuds. Law which he was
Sworn TO Enforce.

On the 4th day of September, 1899, a
cabinet meeting was called to pass upon
an important subject. Large numbers OF
Chinese and japanese laborers have for
years gone annually to the Philippines.
In fact large part of the labor OF the
islands is done by them. A ship load
had come into Manila bay under con-
tract with one of the corporations ex-
plotting the industries of the island.
Otis refused them admission and tele-
graphed the president for orders. The
result of the cabinet meeting was the
suspension of the Chinese exclusion law
so far as the port of Manila is concerned.
Since that time and until April OF this
year 1000 Chinese and $1,000 japanese
laborers were booked for Manila from
which point they come without HIN
drance to this country. Those figures are
official and are taken from the report OF
the commissioner of labor. Foreigners
wishing to come to this country report to
our consul at home and it is from these
reports these figures are obtained. From
this number 400 japanese women weavers
displaced that number of Americans in
one town in Massachusetts. 500 labor
ers displaced that number of Ameri-
can laborers as section hands on roads
out of Portland, Oregon. One inevita-
bic result of imperialism must be the
multiplying of the Geary law including
Chinese and Japanese laborers and the
forcing Of American labor to level with
these people. This Geary law expires in
1902 any way. fit remains dead letter
it will, of course, not be reenacted. Mr..
Republican, how do you like this?

A. {. Lambe for Senator.

One Of the solid, substantial farmers
who has helped to make Sumner coun-
ty what it now is is the Fusion nomi-
nee for state senator, A. c. Lambe.
Coming to the county in 1870 with less
than $4,000 in money but with good
health and pluck and taking up the
claim upon which he has ever since
lived he has been foremost in all
efforts to develop and build up the in
terests of the county. Except for the
few months he was engaged as manag.
er of the Kansas exhibit at the Omaha
exposition in 1898, position which he
filed with exceptional credit, he has
attended personally to his farm. No
man in the county knows the needs
and interests of the county better.
He is an able speaker, is exceptionally
earnest and industrious and will rep
resent Sumner county and not any
foreign corporation. This nomination
came to him unsought as have all 9th
er nominations and public positions
ever held. Elect A. C. Lambe and
Sumner county will have represent
ative who believes and will act upon
the principle that the will of the peo'
pie should be supreme and that they
should be heard. A man whose pri-
vate life and public acts have always
been above reproach and man who
will be in every way credit to the

Japanese Wit.

Oriental wit of kind to be better
appreciated than enjoyed in France Is
credited to the members of japanese
embassy once sent to Paris to arrange
for three free ports to be opened in
Japan and France respectively. The
French officials after long deliberation
announced that they would be content
with the opening Of Yokohama, Yeddo,
and Han-Yang. The Japanese listen
ed gravely, and, after they had deliber-
ated in turn, said they wanted Havre,
Marseilles, and Southampton. There
upon the Frenchman indulged in su-
perior smiles, and called attention to
the fact that Southampton was in En-
gland. YES" replied the Eastern
diplomats, maintaining the utmost
gravity, "and HanYang is in Corea."
This story, which Is said to be so old
as to be new, has been revived in con-
nection with the visit Of the Japanese
Ambassadors to the Paris exposition,
and 1t is supposed in England to worry
the Frenchmen lot.-New York

OIL IN CALIFORNIA.
An Interview with Well Known Oil
Expert.

An Interview with Well Known Gil
Expert.
A well-known oil expert has the fol-
industry:
The oil production OF California is
now about 4, 800, 600 barrels annually.
This output is being increased very
materially each month by the product
of the new wells drilled to oil in the
different districts.
The question most frequently asked
me, especially by capitalists and those
interested or likely to be interested in
oil investments is: lis there not
possibility of overproduction of oil in
California;"
There are two main belts extending
through the state, located on the east
ern and western shores of ancient, pre-
historic seas. One of these produces
black and essentially fuel oil, and the
other green or gas oil.
The black or heavy oil makes an
ideal fuel, as has been proven by 20
years of experience in Russia and i'll
this county.
In using oil as fuel it is necessary
to exercise considerable Judgment, and
to know what kind of oil as we'll as
what kind of burner to use.
The two oils, the black and the
green, lie almost in two parallel belts
i'll California extending on the west
side of the San joaquin valley and run
ming north and south into northern and
southern California. There is likewise
a similar condition ON the east side OF
the San Joaquin more or less in evil
dence as Is shown by the outcroppings
and geological formation. The east
side of the valley, however. has not vet
been prospected for oil as has the west
side, where developments have already
been, and where by far the largest
amount of the oil output of California
is at present obtained.
1t is true that many iar-seeing capi-
, talists have entered into the oil busi-
| ness and have reaped rich financial re-
turns already. others have been too
conservative and are losing opportuni-
ties which are fast being taken up by
Eastern capitalists, who are''rapidlY ap-
preciating the chance California gives
for investments.

A Great Glacier.

The largest glacier in Europe is the
Josledalsbroe, in Norway. With its
numerous ramifications it covers an
area Of $50 square miles, just half as
big again as the county Of Middlesex.
This enormous field of ice sends Its
branches down the valleys In all direc-
tions, often coming into close proxim-
ity to the cornfelds. One of the most
accessible Of its branches is the Briggs
dalbroe. From a distance its effect Is
extremely grand, surrounded as it is
with dark, bare mountains, fringed
with birch trees-a perfect setting for
the mighty mass Of snow and ice.

Some dairymen have a measure and
give each COW the same quantity OF
food. There can be no uniformly in
the allowance of food. Some cows con-
sumo more than others, and cows that
are in full flow of milk require more
food than the producers. The only
rule to follow is to give each animal as
much as it will eat up clean if it is a
producer.
