or healthier. We have used it for
years. My brother was a great coffee
drinker. He was taken sick and the
doctor said coffee was the cause of it,

The business men generally are
taking a pride in painting Chef
buildings for the Jubilee. The town
shows a marked improvement since
the Jubilee movement commenced.
Nearly every dead looking wall in the
city has been made attractive with
artistic signs. There is no mistaking
the pride Of Wellington people and
their determination to have the town
looking its best for the Jubilee. II

Houston Hears Of the Jubilee.

The following write-up Of the com
ing Jubilee appeared in the Houston.
TEX Post recently:
Commencing September is and
closing September p the people Of
SOuthcentral Kansas will gather AT
wellington, the cOuuyy seat Of Sum
ner county, and hold a jubilee and
wheat carnival to celebrate the pro.
duCtion by that county Of the greatest
wheat crop ever produced by any
county in the world.
This county has led in wheat pro
duction for many years past, having
raised upon more than one occasioO
exceeding per cent OF the entire crop
Of the United States. This year it is
expected that the county will produce
1000, 900 OF bushels, which at 65 cents
per bushel would amount to 81, $50, 900.
or considerably more than enough IN
build a twenty-five foot channel 200
feet wide from the jetties at Calves
ton to the foot OF Main street at
Houston; in other words, this one
county which is but a sDeck OF the
great Transmississippi country, has
produced in dollars out Of one crop
enough to make the leading railroad
center between Kansas City and San
Francisco harbor Of the first mag.
nitude.
Another interesting incident con.
nected with this county and deep
water is the fact that the year 10
which congress voted $4,000 for
deep water at Galveston, the wheat
crop NJ Sumner county was estimated
as 6, 200, 900 bushels, or one bushel Of
wheat In this One county alone fer
every dollar voted TO help the pro-
ducers OF the great mid-continent
north Of gulf ports.
Houston, through holding the most
successful session OF the transmits.
issippi Commercial Congress which
has convened in several years, was
put in touch with the peOple Of the
great West, which furnishes the
world with its surplus food products.
and the enterprise OF South Texas
grain company keeps alive the senti-
ment that Houston wishes TO culti-
vatp.
The Jubilee got an editorial mer-
tion In the Post the same day, as
follows:
An item In SATURDAYS Post re-
garding the interest Texas is taking
in a Kansas wheat jubilee. will call TO
mind the fact that the making Of a
deep water port at Houston will be
an immense saving to the Transmits
sissippi region on its grain shipments.
The lcwoSt estimate nf the wheat
crop OF Kansas and Oklahoma alone
this year is 125, 900, 900 bushels. Think
Of what 1t will mean to place that
section fftv miles nearer deem water.
as will be done as sOou as Houston's
mort facilities are developed. The
making OF deep water channel In
this city is the concern of every citi-
zen Of the West. Economy In trans.
pnrtation hos lonp been nne nf the
problems confronting the commercial
men OF these great grain states and
territories. and Houston FURNISHES the
solution Of it.

To the Business Men Of WELLINGTON.

The coming festivities are adver-
tlSed To the world as the Sumner
County Juollee and Wheat Carnival.
This carnival is held on account Of
the wonderful wheat crop OF 1900
la the decoration OF store fronts the
merchants should not forget that IL
would be good idea to give a very
prominent place 10 wheat decorations.
Every merchant has some farmer
friend In the country that could bring
him 10 two Ur three shocks OF wheat.
Prof. Lawoaugh is an artist aud can
make some very dne wheat decora-
tiOnS,
The merchants ought, l think, do
this at Unce and commence work on
these decorations next week. Also the
building and constructing Of booths
should be commenced at once and
properly decorated. The last part OF
next week everybody will be rushing
to get their work done, carpenters will
be crowded with work and many mer-
chants will not be ready on time, by
putting 1t of until it is too late.
The Jubilee committee guarantees
to have everything ready to open
business on Monday night, September
II, and earnestly urges all merchants
to have all their decorations done and
everything III good shape before the
crowd begins to come in.
The committee also asks that two
barrels OF ice water be provided in
each block and also that every mer-
chant put out seats along the front Of
their awnings just at the edge Of the
curbiDg,
The committee hopes that the busi-
ness men will take hold OF this and
attend TO it without having TO be
personally called upon.

Rico:
LET it be borne in mind that ma
terial for the wild and weird stories
published by the Democratic press of
the United States is furnished by
Spaniards for the purpose of bringing
= the citizens of Porto Rico into disre-
pute, and with the hope, false and
fallacious though it may prove, Of
weakening the efforts being put forth
under the law of congress to- organize
an equitable civil government that will
accord to every man, rich or poor,
black or white, liberty and justice.
and in lieu thereof, turn the island
over as spoils to the rapaciously rich
and brutally harsh Spanish taskmak-
ers, as in the past"

Gov. Mount and heard the Republican
governor recite LawtOn's famous
speech before he was killed: IF I
am shot by a Filipino bullet it might
as well come from one Of my own men,
because know from observation, con-
firmed by captured prisoners, that
the continuance of the fighting Is
chiefly due to reports that are sent
out from America"
1t was a dramatic moment, and
Bryan, who was the focus of 10000
eyes, sat through it silent, with bowed
head. When he rose to speak he dis
regarded the expansion utterances Of
Gov. Mount, and paid tribute to Gen.
Lawtor. as a soldier. He could not
answer the startling impeachment OF
the dead soldier.

Exports of Agricultural Products.
There is world of thought for
farmers in the record of wheat and
wheat flour for the past three years
under the Republican administration
as compared with what it was when
the Democrats were in control. Good
seasons brought the bountiful crops OF
course, but good times, created by the
protective tariff advanced prices at
home, increased the consumption ana
thus enabled the farmer to sell his
surplus abroad for higher prices. The
record of exports of wheat and flour
in values is as follows:
Four Years Three Years.
Cleveland. Mckinley.
Total value. .$431, 705,O 12 s533,304, 419

their wheat and it's product which are
sold abroad than when times were duh

Savings Bank Deposits Belle Bryan

SAVINGS HANK DepOSltS bel1e bryan.
Much solicitude has been expressed
by our opponents for the depositors in
savings banks. They constantly pa
rade before these depositors the adj
vantages of gold standard, but these
appeals will be in vain, because saw
fngs bank depositors know that under
a gold standard there is increasing
danger that they will lose their
deposits because of the inability of the
banks to collect their assets; and they
still further know that, If the gold
standard is to continue indefinitely.
they may be compelled to withdraw
their deposits in order to pay living ex-
penses.-Bryan's First Battle.
Since that was uttered savings bank
deposits have grown enormously. In
the year 1894, under Democratic free
trade, 3,413,477 depositors in savings
banks had $1,265, 450, 416 to their credit:
in 1899 the number of depositors had
grown to 4,254,516 and the money de-
posted to $1,782, 974, 481.

ana was 10 4 kreat extent an inaccessi-
be Swilderne s. The people OF Minne-
sofa needed railroads to aid IN the de-
velopment Or the state and to furnis'
necessary transportation, and they
were clamoring and eager for them.
Every town, village or county was
willing to offer a large bonus to secure
q railroad, and many Of them did issue
bonds to the full amount permitted by
law In order to secure the much needed
line.

member how the people OF Mile Laos

In 1886 to secure north and south
railroad, and there are very new people
in the county to-day who are dissatis-
fled with the bargain.
It is not surprising then that in the
early days Of the state large bonuses
or grants Of swamp lands were made
to railroads to aid their construction.
Since 1881 no new grants have been
made, and by an amendment to the
constitution, submitted to the people
that year, further grants are prohib-

That Large Surplus IL
Gov. Lind says: "The only difficulty
with our finances at the present time is
the large surplus in the treasury" and
he expresses regret that the legislature
will not cut down the tax levy. In
answer to this I will say that the leg
islature did cut down the tax levy to
the lowest possible notch. and the sur
plus in the treasury is more apparent
than real. The state treasurer's state
