DR.. A. C. True, director of the agri-
cultural experimental station, is an
advocate of farmers reading courses,
and he has written a pamphlet which
treats of this subject. In several of
the states this scheme has been
adopted, and DR.. True would like to
see the others fall in line, as the
farmers would undoubtedly be great
ly benefited by this plan. The plan
advocated by DIR. True is to choose
two books that might be read during
the winter when the farmers have
spare time and to urge the readers to
organize themselves into circles.

A physician was called to attend the
fhree-year-Old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clinton Martin, of New York. The
child was suffering from spasms, and
lived but a short time. 1t was dis
covered that death had probably been
caused by the sprouting of four lima
beans in its stomach. About two
months ago the little boy got four
beans at a stand in front of grocery
store, and was seen to swallow them.
1t was thought that the beans would
digest, but it seems that they re-
manned in the stomach and sprouted,
sending out little tendrils.

A Problem.

An Irishman, one of gang of har-

remarking in a village a1ehouse on
the cheapness of provisions in Ire

dozen mackerel for two pence

There were 107 lynchings in the
United States during 1899. Of these
7o3 were in the south and four in the
north. OF the sufferers 81 were
blacks and % whites. Forty-four per-
sons w ere lynched for murder,11 for
completely in murder, 1 for arson and
murder, II for rape, for alleged rape
and 1 for rape and murder. Over so
per cent. of these summary execu-
tons were in four southern states.
There is some comfort to be drawn
from the fact that the record for 1899
is the smallest in Is years.

Bradstreet's annual review states
that while all other classes of staples
have risen, breadstuffs alone are &C
tually lower than they were a year
ago, the decline being about six per
cent. This is a fall to which the
world may we'll be reconciled. Cheap,
which means abundant, bread is
something to which mankind seems
entitled, and the world grows gen
orally better as it gets better bread
and more of it.

There were 131 executions by hang
ing in the United States during the
year 1899, an increase of 81 over 1895.
The southern states had 100 hangings
and the north 81. Fifty-eight of
those executed were white men, 70
negroes and one Indian. Georgia
hanged 10 and lynched %. The in
crease in the total number of hang
1ngs in the country over last year is
rather curious in view of the fact
that murders have steadily decreased
for several years. Juries, judges and
governors appear to be growing less
1enient.

In the matter of births Germany
presents a remarkable contrast to
France. During the year 1898 the ex-
cess of German births over deaths
was 846,871, or $4,000 more than in
1897. This excess alone is greater
than the total number of births in
France.

The call for the Legislative eonven
ton in this district, comprising the
counties of Baca, Kiowa and Prowers,
will be found In this issue, and we
are authorized to announce that Hon
\. \. Mclean has consented to make
the race for denomination. Mr..
Mclean was the nominee of the re-
publican convention two years ago,
aud was one of the six republicans
who were elected to the house in that
year. In spite of the handicap placed
upon him by being member OF such
a small minority Mr.. Mclean sue
ceeded in doing much valuable work
for his constituents, and made record
for honesty and integrity in marked
contrast to the large majority of that
body. In that mix up of fusion, dis
honor and treachery known as the
Twelfth General Assembly, he was
one of the few members who proved
true to his pledges to the people and
showed any regard for their wishes.
We believe he will be renoninated,
and in that case he is sure to be re-
elected. The conditions will change
this winter and the small minority
win be majority. With this ad.
vantage added to his past experience
in that body, there is no one in tie
district better equipped to do good
work in the Legislature for this sec
tion than Mr.. Mclean.
