these dinners is about $1,000. in

Corn's Increasing Popularity.

1t is gratifying to learn that the
use of American corn abroad is on
the increase. In the fiscal year which
ended with June 80, 1900, little over
209,0OO,OO bushels of corn were ex-
ported from this country. This was
the largest shipment ever made.

KANSAS ITEMS Condensed.


The suit of the state of Kansas
against the state of Colorado to en-
join the latter from diverting the wa
tiers of the Arkansas river may not
be filed in the United States supreme
court this fall by Attorney General
GODDARD. Rains have been falling in
great profusion in western Kansas and
eastern Colorado and as result the
Arkansas river has more water in
1T than has ever been known. AS the
suit was to be based upon the propo-
sition that Colorado. through it's vast
system of irrigation bitches, had
robbed Kansas of its water and the
lands in the Arkansas valley had been
greatly damaged, the attorney gen
eral may have to wait until dry year
in order to get evidence that will en-
able him to maintain such an action.

The Beers as [ Found Them.

1t may be said of the American
people, with a grain of truth, that they
are the most inconsistent race of peo-
pie on the face of the earth since the
Boer-Eng!ish war has begun The at
ttude of our government toward the
Boer people in their fight for liberty. is
contrary to the true dictates of Ameri-
can principles and conscience, and
thus it is that we behold the American
people today, powerless to share their
sympathy to those who by all the laws
of tradition have a right to demand it.
simply because we have been placed in
circumstances of compromising ma
ture, and so it is we must declare
ourselves neutral, while our hearts are
being gnawed by our conscience.
1t is merry good thing for England
that we are thus inavoidably and tenn
porary bound down as we are, with the
Philippine rebellion on one side and
the Cuban complications on the other,
causing us to be placed in a state of
inconsistency.
One of the greatest triumphs of
English diplomacy was when the order
went out from London, notifying Ad-
mlral Chichester to "stand by" the
victorof Manila. 1t was long headed
coupe they played on the American
people then and to England's eternal
shame, let it be known that that "stand

Well, one night the cold man" ap-
peared radiant. He had received tip
to be on hand to encounter the
"rustlers." Dick and "Texas" were
absent that night, and after
that nights work we remem-
bered what we had not before noticed,
viz, that they had been absent when
ever any ''rustling" had been done
but this is anticipating.
The committee assembled and were
directed to various locations. We pro-
ceeded TO the positions assigned us and
about one o'clock were overjoyed to
see bunch of cattle being driven off.
With whoop, yell and pistol shot we
charged the "rustlers" There were
five of them. After the capture we
found two had escaped, one killed, one
wounded, and one prisoner, and the
prisoner was Dick. The cold man.
was all broke up to find the boy in
that position, but would not or could
not save him from the "rnstIer's" fate,
for the laws of the cattleman, like the
Medes and Persians, altereth not.
Dick was given hearing and had no
excuse to give, no mercy to ask: he
said simply, 81 have cooked my bird
and iii eat it." He asked but one
favor, that they let him sing one song
before they hung him. After some
demurring they consented. Then there
swelled out upon the evening in song
the most beautiful, magnificent, almost
heavenly tenor voice that has ever
blessed mems ears The tune was from
an old opera and to it had fitted
words of his own composition, describ-
ing his life from infancy, his mother,
sisters and all that was dear to him.
1t touched some of those rough men
till tears trickled down their faces. and
| thought he was saved. His song
told of the trivial cause of his running
away from school, and being ashamed
to go home, had wandered west, of his
coming to the Barn and falling under
the baneful influence of "Texas." His
glorious voice died away and as the
dawn was breaking he kneIt and
offered up prayer for forgiveness. I
said surely now they will free him:
but they hung him. "Texas" had es-
capped. BONES.

accusations could only eminate from
enemies, the English, in order that the
moral sympathy of this country will be
shocked by such vile methods. 1t only
shows to what extremes the English
Will resort to Justify their base designs

reasonable that a race of people with
Amens on their lips, singing anthems
and hosannas as they march to battle,
praying God to strengthen them in
right and justice of their cause, does it
look reasonable, ask, that they would
defy Gods mercy by STOPPING to strip

amiable and honest, they are above
thievery and lust, they are fighting for
freedom, for justice, they are fighting
for the divine rights of man against
the tyranny and divine right of kings

victory may cost them dearly, though
the ''veldt" be saturated with human

that no nation would ever think of

CHEROKEE DELEGATION:
Prospects of the Agreement
Not Hopeful.

Letters received from members
of the Cherokee delegation now in
Washington indicate the situation
is anything but hopeful with ref
erence to the ratification OF the
Cherokee agreement. Indeed the
Cherokees have been told tiatly
that the agreement as it passed the
national council will not even be
used as basis for an agreement,
but that new one out and out
must be made on the lines Of the
Creek treaty. The delegation have
also been informed that allotments
Of so acres to each member Of the
tribe is all that will be allowed,
and that the value Of such allot-
ments will then be equalized with
the land remaining.
The Dawes commission will
probably get the full amount OF
the appropriation of s64O, ,OOO ask
ed in the beginning and have two
additional members added to their
number to expedite the work OF
allotment with the Indians. There
is every indication that the work
will proceed much more rapidly
than ever before.
The Cherokee delegation will try
to reach an agreement the most
satisfactory possible, but that
theirs is hard task is indicated
b. the way they have been recelv-
ed, BY the committees and by the
| Dawes commission. A crisis con-
fronts the Cherokees, such as nev'
er confronted them before, and tht

ABOUT TABLE LINENS.
A Few Points which the shopper
Would Do Well TO Keep
in Mind.

The preferred table linen is of fine
damask with an embroidered cipher.
This device is no longer made very
large and conspicuous and is not much
greater for the tablecloth than for the
napkins.
There is nothing so difficult to judge
as table linen; no fabric where adul-
terations or exact qualities are so diff
fcult to discern. In other than high
grade establishments, where one must
depend upon personal Judgment for
the purity of fabric, there are a
few points to keep in mind. Pure
linen is hard and slippery, never soft
and pliable. If moistened finger be
applied to an all-inen cloth the mQis-
ture viii at once appear on the other
side. whereas in mixed goods it viii
appear slowly or not at all. The fax
odor is always noticeable in linens, and

Sheets with rufled tops are again

Sheets and pillow cases, with the
bolster cases if a bolster is employed
are made in sets to match. Yellow OF
grayish lace. now seen on underwear
is likewise adopted for bed linen. Hem
stitching is another decoration which
is much elaborated with drawn work
for bed linen and towels. The lace'
which are chosen for trimming thi'
class of household linen are Meehlin
Valcnciennes and guipure.
Bed covers of Richelieu embroidery
over a lining Of covered taffeta are
seen. The most satisfactory ones
