After conference Saturday with
leading republicans of Kentucky, Gov.
Taylor definitely announced he would
not sign the Louisville agreement. He
then issued proclamation reconvening
the legislature in Frankfort, stating
that the members would not be inter
ferred with, and that he would allow
the matters in dispute to be settled by
the courts. The republicans expect an
adverse decision in the Legislature and
before the courts, and will make cam.
paign on the issues thus made.

Fattening Steers without Hogs.

haitian, undes date of October 30, 1900.
sends out the following bulletin of
great interest and value t. readers:
February 30, 1900, the Kansas State
Agricultural College began fattening
eighty head Of steers to test the value
Of several diffarent methods of prepar-
ing feed for steers where, on account
of cholera, hogs could not be used to
follow and save the droppings. The
steers were divided into four lots Of
twenty each. Lot one was fed shelled
corn and whole alfalfa hay, lot two
shelled corn and alfalfa hay cut In
inch lengths, lot three corn-meal and
whole alfalfa hay. lot four corn-meal
and alfalfa hay cut in inch lengths.
With all lots the hay was thrown in
the bottom Of the grain boxes, the

Divorce Mills,

A divorce mill has just been un-
earthed in New York. Anyone
wanting a divorce, simply applied
to the attorney and put up the pro-
per fee and he prepared all the tes
timony and furnished the witnesses.
He made up the case and wrote
out the testimony to be sworn by
each witness. The witness took the
manuscript and committed it to
memory and was ready to testify.
1t was all very simple and easy.
1t saved the applicant great deal
of trouble and annoyance. The
grand jury, by some slip in the cogs
of the machinery, got wind of the
matter and upon an investigation of
the matter, returned three indict-
ments and held the two professional
lady witnesses as witnesses against
their employers.
Thus the mill is closed for the
present and parties wanting divorces
in New York City will have to pro-
ceed in the old fashioned laborious
way.

A Kansas Girl On Trial.

At Eldorado, the trial of Miss
Morrison for killing her successful
rival with razor, is the great SEN
sation.
1t seems the two girls were in love
with a young clerk of blonde and
curly hair, by the name of Castle.
Miss Clara Wiley won the curls
and was married to her adonis.
They lived together for about week
in all the bliss of the honeymoon.
One day Miss Morrison called
on Mrs. Castle and found her alone
in her home. Shortly after she en-
tered the house repeated screams
were heard by the neignboring wo-
men.
On rushing into the Castle home,
they found Mrs. Castle lying on the
floor, covered with blood, her throa'
cut and Miss Morrison kneeling over
her.
Miss Morrison was also found to
be slashed several times and was
bleeding profusely.
Mrs. Castle fingered for eighteen
days and died, whereupon Miss
Morrison was arrested for murder.
Mrs. Castle made dying state
ment, in which she says Miss Nor
rison attacked her unawares and
without provocation, with a razor
Miss Morrison claims she was at
tackled by Mrs. Castle with a razor
and only acted in self defence.
Strong legal talent has been employ
ed on both sides and great legal
battle will be fought over the case.

pie among the shattered fragments
of the constitution" Or would they
stand on the declaration in that
platform which was practically in
favor of a fiat currency?
Or would they stop at 1872, when
Democracy abandoned practically
everything that it had previously
professed and took up Greeley, the
greatest advocate of high protec
tive tariff of his generation?
Or will it go back only as far as
the free trade platform of 1892,
which a Democratic congress prac-
tically repudiated as soon as it had
the chance to do SOP
The fact is there are not any
platforms made by Democracy for
the last forty years that the party
will dare to 60 back to and stand on.
The old time leaders of Democ-
racy can jump onto Bryan now that
he has been whipped and say that
if somebody else had been the can
didate the partySwould have won,
but there is nothing in the claim.
If Cleveland Dem ocrat had been
nominated in Chicago in 1896 IN
stead of Bryan he would have been
whipped worse than Bryan. He
would not have carried single
Northern state.
If follower Of Grover Cleveland
thad been nominated this year he
would have lost the three Western
states that Bryan won.-Mail ano

What Are They Going Back To?

We notice a good deal of talk
these days among old line Demo
cratic leaders about the reorganiza-
tion of the party. They talk in an
indefinite manner about getting back
to Democratic principles.
What are they going back to, we
wonder? What particular declara-
tion of Democratic principles are
they going to stand on?
Will they get as far back as 1860
when the party took its stand in ia
vor of human slavery?
Will they stop this side of 1860
and stand on the declaration of
principles enunciated in the plat
form of 1864, which declared that
Lincoln was destroying the republic
and that the war against the South
ern confederacy ought to cease?
Or will they only go back as far
as 1868 when they declared that the
pillars of the republic were rocking
on their bases and that if Grant
should be elected they would "meet
as conquered and subjected peo-
