nay yesterday entertained at lunch
con the Boer delegates now in Wash
ington, The affair was a purely per
sonal compliment extended by tn,
secretary and had not even socia
significance. His son, Adelbcrt Hay
the present United States consul al
Pretoria, has been treated with the
greatest courtesy and consideration by
the Beers, not only officially but per.
sonally, and perhaps it was a remem-
brance of this fact that induced the
secretary to endeavor to reciprocate
in this way. The party was small.
Besides the secretary and his family
there were present the delegates,
Mrs. Fischer, wife Of the leader of
the delegation; DR.. Hill, the assist
ant secretary of state, and n few la
dies, intimate friends of the secre.
tary's family.

Solomon and Ridge Seem to Have

TWINE FOR FARMERS.

Dickinson county farmers are look

ready for harvest. Warden Tomlln'
son says:
1--WE are now shipping out on an
average 10000 pounds a week. BE-
ginning this week, we expect to dou-
BILE that amount. The harvest season
is near at hand and orders are coming
in thick and fast. In the past five
weeks we have shipped 100000
pounds. We have that much on hand
and are making at the rate OF $4,000
pounds a week. We have received
enough orders from other states to
consume our surplus and output up
until harvest time, but we are not
filling those orders. We are selling
only to Kansas farmers and to them
direct. The Dakotas are pressing us
to give them some Irvine. Their har'
vest is from two to three weeks later
than ours, and if we should have any
Irvine lett we can dispose OF it up
there without any trouble whatever
Gas to the probable saving Kansas
farmers will reap this year as the re-

100000 pounds of Irvine in its
