CARRY OUT THE AGREEMENT

The Republican press is working
overtime now trying to stir up dissen-
sion ana strife over what they are
Pieased to term the Throop Hotel
agreement. A good many Populists
are dissatisfied with that part of the
agreement which gives the associate
justice to the Democrats, the whole of
lhelr f1re being concentrated on this
point. The Republicans seek to mag
nlfy this and every Populist who can
DE induced to express an opinion on
tne subject is lauded as a patriot of
the old school who can neither be
bought, bribed, caioled or driven into
an alliance which they allege is sure
10 give the Democracy a tail holt and
down hill pull. OF course it is nm
derstood that the Throop Hotel agree
ment does not bind anyone and tina,
the conventions when they meet AT
~. Scott. to use the expression of old
Chet Thomas, do just as they d
please anyway. We still believe it is
good politics to carry out the agree
ment to the letter. We want fusion in
Kansas this year that fuses and an
equitable division of the state ticket
is the only way to get it. Of all the
state officers to be elected this wear
there are but four that cut any ice
They are governor, lieut.. governor, at
torney general and associate Justice
The others are mere clerkships and
these four are the only ones who are
brought directly in touch with the
lawmaking, lawinterpreting and law
enforcing functions of the state. The
agreement gives the Populists three
OF these and the Democrats one.N We
do not see very well how the Populists
could get any more out of it unless
they were given the whole thing and
we do not understand that any of the
kickers are asking for that. AS mat
ter of fact the least of the four is the
associate justice. A constitutional
amendment is pending, and there is ev.
cry prospect that will be adopted
which adds four more Judges to the
supreme bench and they will be ap-
pointed by the governor. If we elect
Popuiist governor this fall no one
need question what the political com.
plexion of the supreme court will be
after he has made his appointments
so there is no call for useless worry
and sleepless nights.-Hiawatha Dem

KAHSASCITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

|
Kansas City Stock Yards, june 24,19o0
| The receipts at the Kansas City
Kansas City Stock Yards, June "a, 1900
Stock Yards for the week ending June
| %, shows very decided increase over
the corresponding week of last year.
The market Monday and Tuesday was
weak, Wednesday the feeling was
some better, Thursday about steady on
best and Friday we had good strong
market on a good dry lot of stuff.
The medium kind of grass cattle are
getting a little lower right along and
it does not appear as if that class OF
stuff would sell any better, if anything
the feeling is that the market will de-
cline. Fat heifers have sold some
lower this week than they did last.
The Chicago market has not been very
satisfactory and has affected this mar
ket, more or less. There were sever
al punches sent on to Chicago from
here that sold for Roc lower than were
bid on them here, some sold at the
same price as they were bid here. Our
nice, we'll fatted, dry lot cattle, weigh
ing from 1850 to 1900 are in better de-
mand than anything else and selling
| very well and it looks as though it
| would be a good time to put that class
| of cattle on the market, for later on
Texas and Kansas half-fed cattle will
commence 10 come which Will have q
tendency to hurt them.
Hog receipts for the past week were
about 10000 head, which was about
$4,000 less than last week. The tend-
ency of prices this week has been
higher. Prices Friday were about zoe
| higher than week ago. The margin
| between here and Chicago has become
very small and Kansas City prices were
only about 21ac under Chicago Friday
| The shipping demand for lights has
been keeping UP pretty well but heavy
| hogs still continue to bring prem
! ium The addition of the Cudahy
Packing plant to Kansas City has help
| ed the trade very materially and more
hogs could be used. All grades and
| weights will find liberal competition.
The bulk of heavy hogs Friday sold
from 15c to zoe and lights from $4.9j
to $505. From present indications it
looks as if prices of hogs were going
70 hold up for considerable length of
| time.
At this season of the year. we are
glad to receive communications from
anyone interested in live stock, as we
are anxious to learn from every source
the number of cattle on feed and what
we may reasonably expect on the
market this fall. Every farmer is in
terested in learning what the pros
poets are for prices and we are in a
better position to advise him when we
receive communications of inquiry.
We will be pleased to correspond.

THINKS MEN NEED ADVICE.
This Woman Is Tired of Seeing So
Much Space Given 10 Women.

81 do wish some would write few
rules for men," said young married
woman recently. "I'm awfully tired
of reading in magazines and news
papers that 1 must meet my husband
when he comes home from his office
pleasantly and cheerfully,' that the
house must be like new pin, must
be prettily gowned, the dinner must
be daintily cooked and served and that
he mustn't be worried with a recital
of the troubles of the day, no matter
if delirium supervenes for me.
These precepts are all right theor-
etically and under ordinary circum-
stances are practical. Every woman
follows them instinctively who wishes
to retain her husbands admiration,
but why aren't there few laws of
this sort laid down for men to follow =?
why isn't there some one to tell
the to look cheerful when they come
in and TO forbear to grumble if dinner
is trife late for any good reason, to
be little sympathetic and affection
ate and remember that theirs are not
the only troubles in the house?
According to the ordinary writer,
n woman's whole married life should
be spent in practicing expedients to
keep her husbands love from growing
cold while he apparently may pursue
any course he pleases, civil or uncivil,
tyrannical or gentlemanly, and be sure
of retaining hers.
This may not be the masculine idea
of the case at all; the sterner sex may
not really expect to get the whole
globe and give nothing in return, but
1T is not the writer's fault if they
don't. l sedulously keep all such ar
ticles away from John, for he's a very
good husband, ami I'm afraid such
literature would put ideas into his
head and spoil him.
Now, poor unenlightened soul, he
has an idea that my side of the part
nership has it's own worries, and he
tries to help me straighten them out,
but who knows how he would change
If he ever discovered that he is really
made of china and has to be handled
with care tokeep from being broken %

heart, and its pulsations are full and
strong, instead of weak and feeble as
they used to be. My liver has been

complexion and regular action of the
bowels. am SIS years of age and have
suffered indescribably for many years
from the ailments spoken of. 1 have
tried manyphysicians and every patent
medicine that / could hear of that
promised relief, but nothing was of
any avail, and i had settled down with
out hope, under the black flag of de-
spair, but in Gods providence this dis
covery has given me new lease of

full to Him and to you.

j know young man here in New

nowadays to keep up with the pro-
cesslon-you are aware how rapidly
a formidable, hopeless heap it makes
in the course of two or three years.
hou are certain that nine-tenths of
the pile is pure rubbish, but for the
sakeof the other tenth which is valu-
able, you refrain from chucking the
whole outfit ito the trash bin. But
the trouble>is that you can't mine out
the gold from such a mass of dross.
so your collection is really of no
avail. Now this young friend of mine
found himself in exactly this sort of
fix, and the way he solved the prob-
lem was most admirable. He went
over his magazines-some 1000 or
more-and whenever he found any
thing important or especially inter
eSting or particularly well illustrat-
ed he cut it out and bodily threw awav
the rest These cuttings he then had
bound. They made four good sturdy
volumes, and the waste matter filled
wagon. The binding cost him n
dollar piece, and now he has a quar-
tette of books that are comfort, a
treasure and joy forever. They are
the most tempting cold-storage
houses of literary loot that ever l
peeped into. He followed no special
plan of cleaning, and that is the very
thing that makes them 50 delightful
