play on bed of sandburs.
The bicycle races were scheduled to

of the delay occasioned by the football
game. it was nearly O'Clock before the
contestants for the five mile race lined up.
The riders got away well, Goodrich in

sprint opened gap of over hundred
yards. and looked like winner. Good

succeeded in overtaking his opponent,

DR.. Nusbaum's Lecture.

of DIR. Murlin, who had been announced.
DR. Murlin's wife was sick, and this was
one of the Nails that tore his coat =
DIR. Nusbaum sang song before begin
ming his lecture, and he is at home
either as lecturer or singer. He opened
his lecture by stating that there were two
ways of becoming great. One is by your
own merit and another is upon the repu-
tation of some one else. The manner of
the speaker, his whole-sou ways, and
geniality. wins the audience at once. He
said he had been taken, SO closely does

dience at the A. o. L. w. barbecue.
when he arose to speak, so closely does
he resemble MIR. Bryan Mr.. Nusbaum
entered into the humor of this mistake,
and for few minutes he readily held the
audience in this deception, much to their
amusement and his own pleasure.
The lecture in the church was spoken
from manuscript He said he would read
in this way, so as to keep up the line of
his subject, without being sidetracked.
"A man found'' was the title of the sub
ject. Christ was the man, but the speaker
said the honor to be called man was the
greatest honor. He described the charac-
ter Of men needed, and SO few are found
of the best type of manhood. Greatest

The best attributes of manhood was
found in men who rather do what is right
than the highest Office in the land.

did not put aside their manhood under

The Alfalfa Hay Crop.

There will be abundance of hay this
fall. and it is probably desirable that
alfalfa growers have abundant hay
crop, for the reason that the winter prom
ises to be a n unusually severe one. Ma
ture's kindly provision with mans s
energy and providence, will supply all
needs. The summer was uncommonly
warm, and one extreme follows an
other, it is within reason to look out for
cold winter. The early SHOWS in the
mountains is a precursor of what may
be expected. But the alfalfa hay crop
will supply all needs for winter feeding
for those who are engaged in raising that
crop, aud there will be an abundance to
sell.
The hay crop is unusual this year. A.
D. Wettick, of Gray county, has 300
acres of ulfalfa which is more than a foot
high. He has already cut three crops,
and the next cutting will be the fourth
crop MIR. Wettick has one hundred
acres of cane from which he is about to
cut the second crop this season. These
crops raised without irrigation.
Geo w. Reighard informs that a
alfalfa hay crop may be had every thirty
five days, without irrigation, if no part of
the crop is left to go to seed.
q hris Behl is cutting the fourth crop of
alfalfa 1t has grown into proverb that
whenever Mr. Behl cuts his alfalfa the
rains come. There is no exception to the
rule this season, as the last rains testify.
J. H. Churchill is cutting his fourth
crop of alfalfa at present. Had not grass
hoppers and dryness hindered it is prob
able that fifth crop of alfalfa could have
been had. Captain Churchill notices the
improved conditions in alfalfa hay cul-
ture with other improved conditions.
The saving of the buffalo grass by keep
ing out fires has helped climatic condi-
tions- The growth and influence of
timber is felt along the line of the rail-
road and river. A great difference is
noted in the timber growth as compared
to that of 20 years ago..
There are some alfalfa fields on the up
lands. G.. NJ Curtis, of Hodgeman
county. has a fine field of alfalfa from
which he gathers three crops this season.
Other experiments with alfalfa on up
lands are equally successful.

Colonel Morgan, of Fargo, n. D., is a
Democrat and will support Mckinley. A
few years ago he was chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee of
Minnesota. He is now an extensive far
mer. He cultlvates II 900 acres of land
each year. He winds up a strong letter
with the following familiar verse:
t'These Demo Pop orators: with their
cargo of FalstafIian bombast, when de-
nouncing the imperialistic ghost and pre-
dieting the certainty of Bryan,s election,
remind me of that pathetic stanza of an
old time song:

And rushed across the plain.
The lightning bug came laundering by,
And then it began to rain.' -

any community than men who are true TO
the core. In describing such a man,
would you find him and place a crown
upon his head. aud say. San honest, sin
cere, real man.
DR.. Nusbaum spoke particularly of
that class of men who are good citizens
with convictions of right, but for policy
sake failed to carry out their convictions.
This is particularly true of those who are
shared by political tactics. On the otser
hand in all professions and callings Of
life there were men who were not sweF-
we'd from their convictions of right, and
who were uncompromisIng.
In talking upon the moral and politicaE
aspect of affairs, he inquired why sheultE
not the minister lead in politics as we'll
the gambler AMI the sa1oonkeeper? The
pulpit was not too sacred for the minis
ter to do his duty TO God and humanity.
He referred the men i'll life who do
what constitutes manhood. and said it
costs something to be such man.
What the country needs today is an
effort to make men more than anything
else. Why should not the farmer show
the good qualities of his boys and girls
instead-of his cattle and hogs?
Bad literature and cigarettes was the
bane in the eClevelopnlent Of true manhood. !.
DR. Nusban1n made a plea to the parents
to save the boys and girls. The boys
were less under parental control than tbs
girls.
The lecture was heartily enjoyed and
was such one that all parents should
have heard.
a good crowd was in attendance at the
lecture
DIR. Nusbaum has spoken several tiaes
! before Dodge City audience, and he
has many friends and acquaintances here
who gladly welcome him. He is the pas
tor eff the NJ E. Church, at Ottawa,

The Germans Assailing Bryan.

nc OCED ASSdiIIHS ans
Right at the beginning of the can
vass the Westliche Post, of st. Louis, the
leading German paper in the West, came
ont against Bryan. A week ago the
New York Stats Zeitung, the most con-
spicuous German journal in the East,
said the drift, which seemed to be in fa-
vor of Bryan at the beginning of the
campaign, had Enthusiastically turned
against him, and that Mckinley IS election
was assured. The German Telegraph, of
Indianapolis, the best-known paper
printed in its language in Indiana. has
come out strongly against Bryan and
Organism.
All these journals were on what was
called the ssimperialist'' side All were
against the retention OF the Philippines,
and perhaps are still against that policy.
The Bry antics expected to have all of
them on their side i'll the canvass this
year. The Brya mites, in fact, have been
boasting that they would gain the ma jor-
ity of the country on the policy of 'santi-
imperialism.'' Of course, Bryan knew
that the base money question the
greater part of the German papers. as
of all other papers in the country, would
be against him. but his party and him
self pretended that imperialism was
the paramount issue, and therefore as
sumed that the Germans would be won
The unanimity and vigor with which
ali the German papers of influence
throughout the country are fighting Bry-
show that the trickster Handsomely
overreached himself in attempting to
conceal the true issue of the campaign by
pretending that another question which
not one Democrat in ten cares anyfhip q
about was the supreme issue of the can
vass. His -timperialism-' nonsense IS in :

IMPORTANT TO HANNA.

1t was characteristic that Mark Han
ma. in a consideration of the most impOr-
iant bills to come before Congress in the
session now begun. should have placed
the ne-Frye-Standard Oil
ship-subsidy bill second on his list, in
sisting that it is "a just measure, de-
voted TO the upbuilding Of the American
merchant marine"
Even the members of Mr.. Hanna S
own party in the National Congress fail
as a body, TO agree with him as to the
urgent necessity for the swift passage
of the ship-subsidy bill, or that it is n
just and widely benefcent measure. 1t
has been stated by at least one Repuh-
lican Senator that the shipsubsidy bill
may easily await the action of the next
Congress. giving place to more necessary
Legislation during the present short ses-
sion. A Republican Congressman from
the Presidents. own State and Mark
Hanna's own district finds himself un-
able to support the measure because he
is opposed TO the subsidy idea, the tax
ing of the many for the benefit Of the
few.
