the close of the Democratic administra-

was A.94 per head. The per capita cost
of McKinley's administration for 1899

regime s3.o3 per head. The expendi-
lures for direct cost OF government alone
for the year Iooo-on the basis Of appro-

A complaint comes from the prairie
country of western Kansas TO the
effect that the winds do not blow
with the vtgOr aud regularity Char
acteristic Of their work in years gone
by. This complaint appears to be
general all over the western section
of the state. 1t has been heard Tor
some time, but within the last two
years the murmurngs have been get
ting louder. The time was when the
stock man with a wind mill was abso-
lutely certain that be would have all
the power he needed tn supply water
for his stock; hut it appears that this
cannot be counted on for dead GER
tainty any longer. The wind mill Is
all right, with breeze behind it, but
there are times now when the breezes
fail to come. the wheels stand idle,
and the water gets low. Half dozen
western Kansas papers Of last week S
issue contained kicks because the
wind failed to get to the front with
force enough to keep upa supply Of
water for the stock In the old days
such a thing was not known, aud it
must be that the winds are hunting a
place where they can get freer sweep.
Some OF the western Kansas stock
men have sized up the situation. con-
cluded that the winds are going to
desert them, and have secured gasp
line engines with which to do the
work formerly done by the WIND mill.
