CAN THE GOODS BE DELIVERED

Hutchinson News: One of the pro-
visions of the contract which binds the
forces of fusion together in this State
is the election of a Democrat United
States Senator. Mr.. Jerry Simpson
and his friends can now commence to
see why his scheme to have the Fort
Scott convention nominate a candi-
date for that Office was struck square
ly between the eyes by Mr.. Breiden-
thai and his friends. The Democrats
have demanded and secured from their
partners, the Populists, the promise
that this Office shall go to them in the
event OF the election of legislature.
Mr.. Breidenthal makes no secret
that the fusion agreement on his part
is to lead the Populist voter directly
into the Democratic camp. His price
COR this was paid in part by the unani-
nous nomination by the Democrats at
Fort Scott, the balance will be paid
down when he receives the Democrat
votes in November for Governor. Mr..
Breidenthal says: I'm the first place
u -,.t.yI.cans will not win the legis-
lature. In the second place if we win
there will be only one great reform
party in the future instead of two"
Mr.. Breidenthal was a delegate to
the Sioux Falls convention. 1t was
he who so vigorously opposed and
fought long and hard to prevent the
nomination of Towne. Subsequent
events prove that Mr.. Breidenthal al
that time had a thorough understands
ing with the Democratic leaders. He
even advocated the scheme for the
Sioux Falls convention to forego the
nomination of national ticket alto
gether, contending for the appoint
ment of a committee with plenary
powers to nominate as the Populis
candidates whoever the Kansas City
convention might name. This was
only another of the schemes matched
by Mr.. Breidenthal and his Demo
cratic partners to deliver the Populis
party into Democracy and wipe it en-
tirely out as a national organization
scheme which had its fulfllmen
when Mr.. Towne resigned that Mr.
Stevenson might take his place anC
the Populist party left without {
national ticket.
Mr.. Breidenthal stands committed
to the entire absorption of the Popu
list party by the Democrats. 1t is hi
plan that hereafter there shall be blu
one party opposed to the Republican
party and that shall be the Democra
party. At Fort Scott, Mr., Hoffman
who was chairman of the Populist con
vention, boldly declared that he wa
then presiding over the last Populis
convention that was to be held in tn
state. Mr.. Hoffman has since beer
nominated as the fusion nominee il

OFFICIAL PAPEROF ALLEN COUNTY
1.-THE HEATHEN CHINEE."


Which wish to remark
And my language is plain
That for ways that are dark
And lor tricks that are vain,
The heather Chnee is peculiar,
Which the same would rise to explain.
All Sin was his name;
And l shall not deny
In regard to the same
What that name might imply
But his smile it was pensive and childlike,
As frequent remarked to Bill Nye.
1t was August the third
And quite soft was the skies;
which It might be inferred
That All Sin was likewise
Yet he played It that day upon William
And me in way despise
Which we had a small game
And All Sin took a hand
1t was euchre. The same
He did not understand;
But he smiled as he sat by the table,
with the smile that was childlike and bard
Yet the cards they were stocked
In way that grieve.
And my feelings were shocked
At the state OF Nye's sleeve,
Which was stunned full of aces and bowers
And the same with intent to deceive.
But the hands that were played
BY that heather Chinee
And the points that he made
Were quite frightfu TO see;
Till at last he put down a right bower,
Which the same Nye had dealt unto me,
Then 1 looked up at Nye,
And he gazed upon me,
And he rose with a sigh,
And said, "Can this be -
We are ruined by Chinese cheap labor"
And he went for that heather Chinee.
In the scene that ensued
did not take hand
But the floor it was strewed
Like the leaves on the strand
with the cards All Sin had been hiding
In the game he did not understand"
In his sleeves, which were long,
He had twenty-four jacks,
Which were coming it strong,
Yet l state but the facts;
And we found on his nails, which were tai e
What is frequent in tapers, that's wax.
Which is why remark
And my language is plain,
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain.
The heather Chinee is peculiar.
Which the same l am free to maintain.

In recognition of this the members OF
the Society of American Florists have
decided to hold their annual conven-
ton in Buffalo in 1901. Chicago was
anxious to win the convention. but In
view of the special attractions for its
members which the Pan-American Ex-
position will possess it was decided to
meet next year in the Pan-American
city. The gathering will bring to Buff
falo about 1000 delegates and their
families from all parts of the United
States. The floral features of the Pan
American Exposition and its landscape
effects will surpass anything ever seen
! before by visitors to expositions held
in the United States. The laying out
of the grounds was done with the view

PROFIT IN CALVES.
n.,.. for Taking Care of Wfnter-Born
Animals That Have Always
Brought Good Luck.

Those who conduct winter dairying
on a truly profitable scale always have
a portion of their herd coming new
milch early in the winter months. What
should be done with the resulting
ealves that come to us in this incle-
ment season of the year? 1t is not wise
to kill them for their skins. which VIII
hardly pay for the labor expended IN
removing the hides; neither is 1t eN-
pedient to attempt to raise them neg
lectfully. The writer has universally
had good luck" with winter-born
calves by adhering to the following
general plan:
Male calves not intended for raising,
either as steers or bulls, l have proflt-
ably converted into veal. There is new
er a time when good veal calf will
not sell readily for cash or its equiva-
lent. Do not, however, let them suckie
the cows, nor feed them on whole milk.
This way of making veal is never truly
profitable to dairyman. Feed on
SKINNED milk with the addition OF
cooked corn meal or oil meal. Ii the
skinned milk is fed warm the animals
will relish it better and fatten enough
faster to amply pay for the trouble IN
volved.
The place in which they are housed
will have much to do with a successful
result. This should always be apart
from the milch cows and where the
latter cannot see OF hear them. The
calves quarters should be extra warm
as the young creatures cannot stane
the same degree of cold tbat-more ma
ture cattle can. A too cold apartment
| is one reason why many make failure
| with winter-born calves. Provide bed
dig literally and feed literally and reg
| ularly.
Choice heifer calves not designed TO
| fattening but for raising into future
COWS, should be kept separate iron
their veal brothers and sisters, with o
course less oleaginous and more nitro
genous food provided. Ones aim shoul'
be to keep them in thrifty, growing
condition, which, by right manage
ment, can be as readily accomplishe
| in winter as in summer. Calves
reared, when warm weather comes vii
be in position to go onto grass and DC
velop into fine thrifty yearlings.-NOhl

str,nninx. Rich in Eat.

The Farmers Advocate (Canada)
says: That there is q marked differ
ence in the quality of milk first drawn
from the cow, as compared with that
which comes away towards the finish,
was clearly shown by an experiment
carried out some time ago by we'll
known dairy expert. This gentleman
found that while the average per cent.
Of butter fat in the first half pint OF
milk withdrawn from COW worked
cut to only 1872 per cent, the butter fat
IN the strippings, or the last half pint
snounted to over nine per cent. There
WAS hardly any difference in the pei
ssntage of the other solids present IL
