ABOUT THE KANSAS HOG.
The Animal Excites Interest in Far
Off Finland.

Secretary of Agriculture F. D. Coburn
recently received a communication from
Baron J. AIennerheim of Jolxkis den, Fin
land, requesting the addresses of dealers
in fancy Poland China swine. The baron
wrote for this information with the end
in view Of buying stock in America to
use in improving the breed Of swine in
Finland.
Mr.. Coburn sent him the addresses of
several Kansas breeders, and only a few
days ago received another letter from
the baron announcing the fact that he
had put himself into communication
with the men referred to.
The reason Baron MannerheiIn wrote
Mr.. Coburn for this information is the
fact that he learned of Mr.. Coburn
through David G. Fairchild, son of ex-
President E. T. FairchiId of the Manhat-
tan Agricultural college, who now bears
the title of agricultural explorer and
pursues his researches under the United
States department of agriculture
While Mr. Fairchild was in Finland he
received great deal of help through the
efforts of this baron who is one of the
largest landowners of that country.

WELLS FARGO's PRESENTS.
Supply of Turkeys.Aprles and Oysters
Arrives.


Upon reaching the Office this morning
the employees of the WellS, Fargo Elk
press company found a very acceptable
present awaiting them.
There are about 25 employees Of the
company in this city and when they OPP
ened the store room this morning a row
of baskets each containing half a bush
ell of apples with an eight pound turkey
beside it, one for each eInploye, met their
gaze.
Beside the half bushel of apples and
the turkey stood a bunch of celery and a
quart can of oysters. The four items
which were given to each person could
not be bought at a store for less than
81. There are about 900 people in the
employ of the company who received the
same presents so it may be readily seen
that the total will aggregate sum
something like $4,000.
Another distribution of presents will
take place again at Christmas The
presents Christmas will be practically
the same as those distributed today.
1T has been the custom for years of
this company to make their employees
present of some kind each winter, and
the men have come to look forward to
the holidays with an anticipation of
good things, and have never been dis
appointed.

WHAT JUDGE DAY SAID
On Being Informed of the Death of
Senator Davis.

Canton o., Nov. 2S-Judge William r.
Day, former secretary of state and presi-
dent of the Paris peace commission, of
which Senator Davis was a member, on
learning of the latters death, said:
1.-THE death of Senator Davis removes
one one of the first statesmen of the
country AS chairman of the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations he took a
prominent and influential part in the for
eign policy of the country for some years.
Senator Davis was thoroughly acquainted
with international law and one of the
highest American authorities on the sub
ject of the present day. The senator's
services at Paris in the negotiations of
the treaty were of the highest value. He
bore a leading part in the discussion be-
fore that tribunal, always acquitting him.
self with honor. Senator Davis was a
man of genial temperament and attractive
personality. His place in the councils of
the nation will be hard to fill and his
death is a personal loss to a wide circle Of
friends who were greatly attached to
him"
Judge Day sent a message of sympathy
and coincidence to Mrs. Davis.
