A Brooklyn man claims to have in
vented a boat that will cross the ocean
in three days. Of course that is better
than crossing in five days, and yet it
does not quite ''1ill the bill" What is
needed is boat that will take one
across so quick that there will not be
time to get seasick.

The Farmers Institute,

The farmers institute held in Yelling
ton last Saturday was a decided success
in every way except in attendance, which
was fair. Prof. Cottrell gave the first
address in the forenoon on the subject,
"Soil Moisture and Soil Fertility" A
few of the valuable points of information
were the following: 90 to 9S per cent of
all plant substance CONES from air and
water Ten elements are necessary in
the soil to make up the remainder. In
proportion as any one of these is want
ing the soil is defective. Fertilization is
adding the one or more elements lack
ing. Evaporation IS 100 tons per acre
per day or more on warm day. Evap-
Grafton is prevented by keeping surface
pulverized and dry. Flowing should be
done early for wheat. The ground is
thus put in condition where evapora-
ton will go on more slowly.
Prof. Cottrell is a great enthusiast on
alfalfa. His talk was excellent. Some
things will be given from it next week in
connection with some other material
along this line.

The law providing for the change Of
ending of the term OF county superin-
tendent from January to May necessitates
the appointing of some one in each cour-
ty to fill the term from January TO May.
Superintendent Massey will doubtless be
appointed to fill this term. He has made
an excellent official and has been re-elect-
ed. There is no reason for any break in
the work. The law will be of great ad-
vantage to the schools of this state. The
term of Office will coincide with the
school years and there will be no break
in the work of supervision and no loss
of one or two one-half years from
teaching as has often been the case with
outgoing or incoming superintendent.

The following amusing item is going
the rounds of the daily papers of the
state:
"Wm. Stryker, editor of che Yelling
ton Voice, has joined the Socialists"
Vim. Stryker has been a Socialist for
years and has advocated socialism as the
only remedy for existing evils in social
conditions. Every Populist and every
Democratic platform adopted in Kansas
since 1896 has advocated large measure
of socialism. All Populists and almost
all Democrats favor the immediate tax
ing over of the railroads, the telegraphs,
and the issuing Of money from private to
government control. This is socialism
and as much as it would be wise to at
tempt in four years. This much would
wonderfully improve tie conditions Of
the common man. 1t is not the part Of
wisdom at this time for Populists to talk
OF going to any other party to gain what
their own has demanded for years.
If David B. Hill, John R. McLain,
Whitney, Carlyle, Barney Sheridan and
men of that stamp will go into the Re-
publican party, where they belong, the
forces that worked together this year for
the election of Bryan will draw to their
ranks enough honest Republicans and
men who voted for DebS or who did moi
vote at all to elect Bryan or some mau
who stands for the principles he does il
1904, and this is what will happen. NJ
party loaded down with such men a:
those mentioned will ever take the mid
die and western states necessary to elec
away from the trust ridden Republican
party.
Tho idea OF reform and the demand fol
new and better order of things such a
B-yan stands for is much stronger thai
his vote would indicate Distrust of
party that will allow known traitors t
thouse principles to hold prominent pc
sltionS, in its councils was one of tn
most important factors in bringing abou
the defeat Of the fusion forces in tn
west this year.
This wsIl not be repeated. There
room for only one monopoly party i
this country. Just what course event
will take do man can now tell. Reput
lican policies and trust rule will 500
bear fresh fruit which will bring togetlI
er all true patriots who do not plac

now to have differences over names or t
try to anticipate results until conditions
are ripe to produce them. t-

That Is BOb's Idea of the Situation
From JefRries' Standpoint.

NEW YORK, Aug. -19.AIn the eyes of
Bob Fltzsimmons, Jim Corbett and Kid
Mccoy are no better than second-raters
If the lanky pugilist cannot get on a
match with Jeffries if he beats Sharkey
ne will remain idle for want of somebody
to meet There are none left whom he
considers in his class other than the
While Fitzsimmons did not say openly
that Corbett and the kid" We're of the
class stated, yet his differences could be
taken for nothing else. Your correspond
ent asked him yesterday if he defeated
Sharkey and could not get on a fight
with Jeffries if he would take on the
winner of the Mccoy and Corbett fight.
When George Dawson, his chief trainer,
answered for him, saying that neither was
in Bob's class, he nodded assent and then
why. both Of them have been beaten
more times than is good for their repu-
tation. What honor could be derived
from beating them?"
Fitzsimmons is not indulging in very
hard work just now, for his fight with
Sharkey, and yesterday his hardest work
was composed Of an eight-mile run in
the morning. He seemed very tired after
it, but If his word can be taken for 1t
he ought to be fatigued. He said ne COW
cred the distance and received rub
After a nap in the afternoon he went
to the gymnasium and hammered at the
punching-bag for nearly an hour. Then
he DANCED about, making swings and jabs
at an Imaginary foe, and was as frolie-
some as a kitten. He did not intend to
do any sparring, but a youth who was
inches taller than himself. but twenty
pounds lighter, introduced himself to
George Dawson and asked IL Fitzsimmons
would spar three rounds with him.
Bob didn't want to at first, but the
expression of disappointment which cloud
ed the young mans face so worked on
the sympathy of Fitzsimmons that he
finally consented to box him.
The boy put on the gloves after strip
ping and tried hard to hit Fitzsimmons
but always failed, and the ex-ehampion
did nothing but remain on his guard dur
ing the first two rounds. But the third
told a different story. He went the
round fast, but, try as he would, he could
not hit Fltz. Watches were turned back
and, just to see what was in the boy,
Fitzsimmons sent a short left hook to the
stomach. The recipient doubled up,
Strengthened and clinched with a look Of
agony on his face. Fitz let him hang
on until he recuperated and then slapped
him when and where he wanted.
A'Ttrae! was finally called, and the boy
was ready to sink.
When he had recovered his breath he
told Fitzsimmons that he had a desire to
become fighter. Here it was that Fftz-
simmons displayed two characteristics of
his makeup that have seldom before
shown themselves. They were benevo-
lence and kindness, and the bit Of father

NEWPORT, R. L, Aug. 19.-seven of
7O-footers have been sailed, and the re-
naming three races are set for Monday,
Wednesday and Friday of the coming
week. The Mineola and Yankee nave
each eight points to their credit, the
Rainbow -four and the Virginia one, each
race won counting two points for the win
ner, and if four start the second boat
scores one point. If the Rainbow should
win the next three races she would have
ten points and would win the $1,000 unless
the Mineola or Yankee came in twice,
which would make the three boats tie.
The Virginia has no chance of winning
the main cup, but as a cup is offered to
the winner of each race, she may win
three of them, and by starting each day
she will at least give the second boat a
chance to score a point
