This letter calls attention To The PROFITS
the trusts manufactures have been ablt
to secure under republican rulein the
past and points out that to enjoy them
in the future the reelection OF Pres
dent Mckinley Is absolutely necessary
The letter then calls attention TO The
expenses Of the campaign which, II
says, will be unusually large because o.
the strength OF the delocratic party Il
developing in all parts of the country
The letter has gone only TO the grent-
est and richest trusts, the smaller con
Germs being reserved for squeeze
The evident and increasing strength
of the democratic party caused tn,
conference to be called many weeks
earlier than usual. 1t also caused Sen
ator Hanna and others to decide tI
raise g., 100000 more than has ever beer
paid into campaign fund in the his
tory of the country. The responses tt

Long,n CanlIAncy.

Washington, April lG.--secrctary
Longs candidacy for the Republican
Vice presidential nomination is not
looked upon with favor by the
ty.uds q t'n administration One
of Mr.. McHinlcy's most intimate
friends in Congress said to-day he
thought 1t would be II mistake TO
nominate The Secretary Of the Navy.
He said it would open mp the Samp-
son-Schley controversy gnd make it
an issue o. the c0mpa. gn, and, in his
opinion, would maze the loss of
Maryland TO the Republicans certain,
without increasing the strength Of
the party in any other locality. The
appearance of Long in the Aeld may
give nn impetus 'o the Schley boom
If Admiral Dewey is not the slated
Democratic candidate.

Topeka, April 17--,The Kansas de-
partment Of agriculture issues n
statement of the acreage and present
condition Of winter wheat In Kansas.
This is the first report the depart
ment has issued for the present year.
1t is based on the opinions Of wheat
growers in every neighborhood, sup
plemcntcd by those Of dealers, millers
and elevator men. Close attention
has been given TO the territory which
produces the bulk OF the wheat crop,
The area sown for the crop Of 1900
was returned by assessors ms 4, 7O6,-
12O.acres. It was estimated by the de-
partment's correspondents in Novem-
Der last that the area sown for 1900
would be s,5 per cent less; at the pres
ent time their estimate Is that the de-
crease amounts to but 2.3 per cent.

He is a seasoned war horse in politics

tells what happened to him last Monday
night
Il had been TO my mans house and fix
ed UP little deal that promised well.
On my way home l was in a block Of
vacant lots when the cloud burst"
CLOUD burst?" from a listener.
Yes, cloud burst! More water fell
In five minutes than at any time since
the deluge. I thought at first that a
water main must have exploded. I had
to throw my umbrella away to keep from
drowning. I waded, .f1oated, tread water
and went with the tide for temporary
rheuma tism in both legs kept me from
running. The first port 1 drifted into
was drug store, and the storm quit
as soon as I escaped.
II hustled home, and my wife imme-
diately ordered me to take a big dose Of
quinine and whisky. Five minutes later
l hurried up stairs and had q catch-as-
catch-can with myself, for every stitch
on me stuck like a porous plaster I
thought three or four times that I would
lose the contest, but finally won cut and
soon had on warm, dry suit
Now, you'd naturally think that after
such an experience my rheuna tisn1
would be worse. Not bit of it. I be-
lieve the COMPOUNDED thing can be drown
ed, for l haven't felt a twinge since.
But you can't tell. The fact that toss
ed the quinine through the back window
may have had something to do with IT.

MUSK OK RAISING IN SWEDEN
Industry Will BE Prosecuted Upon
an Extensive Scale.


New York Journal
In Sweden the industry ofsraising9 the
musk OK for its fleece has been started
on large scale.
After making many unsuccessful at
tempts the Kolkhof arctic expedition,
which several seasons age returned to
Sweden from Greenland, succeeded III
there capturing alive two calves of the
musk OK, a male and a female, and In
bringing them to Sweden in good condi-
ton In this way the musk OK industry
started
AT present there is a large herd of
these animals, which are being cared Cor
on farm in northern Sweden. where all
conditions are apparently suitable for
their development
The musk OK (ovibas moschatusl is a
singular animal in appearance reseu-
bling both an OK and d sheep, as the
scientific name 'ovibas" implies
Its Introduction into Sweden will be of
great benefit to that country. in the opin-
ion of Kolkhof, who, in fat contradic-
ton to the statements of the older zoo
ologists. says that the flesh of the animal
is not merely edible. but of very agree
lie flavor. As a fully developed musk
OK weighs about 1900 pounds. this is
an important consideration
Sut the principal value of the ami
NAL lies in its heavy fleece OF dark
brown wool of extra ordinary fine fiber
The fleece of single musk OK outweighs
those Of twenty sheep.
