Capper's record on the Mail and
Breeze, which he has brought up in a
few years from an obscure loca
weekly to the most popular and
widely circulated State paper ever
published in Kansas, testifies elo-
quently to his skill as a newspaper
manager. Mr.. Chase has made a
splendid reputation as scholarly,
broad and level-headed editorial
writer. The other boys have been
equally successful in their respective
departments. The combination, there
fore, is one that cannot fail to give

THE DISFRANCHlSEMENT CUES
nION

Men of all parties are beginning to
realize that Congressional action may
be necessary 10 stop the Wholesale
disfranchisement of voters in Southern
states. Senator Burrows, of Michi-
gan, who Will be chairman of the Sen
ate Committe on Privileges and Elec-
tions recently said on the subject
"The new Maryland ballot law is
very likely to bring to the attention of
Congress various socalled disfran-
chisement laws and open up the whole
question of representation in Congress
on the basis of men who are not legal
voters under state laws. Congress
does not desire to discuss these sub
iects, but, in my opinion. the question
will be forced upon US for determina-
tiou by the unwisc action of some of
the states. We have now before us
the example Of great state, endeav-
oring to disiranchise some $4,000 riti-
zens in orderto give one political par
ty control of the Legislature. There
is no fear of negro domination. That
is not the excuse for the law, Certain
Democrats seek to control the affairs
of the state, and to accomplish this
purpose to disfranchise sufficient
number Of the opposite party. 1t is
nothingmore than this" As Senator
Burrows sees it, the question presents
three phases: "The effect disfranchise
ment has on the basis of representa-
ton on the lower House: the proprietN
of accepting Senator's in Congress
who have been elected by Legislatures
elected after large number of voters
were disfranchised so that the legisla
lures would be favorable to certain
men, and the public policy of permit
ting political parties to disfranchise I
large number of their opponents tC
maintain their dominant position II

AN EXPERIMENT IN WHEAT.

Mr.. Nj. f. Sickley, of Elm township,
has been conducting some experiments
with wheat on up land that are highly
interesting and give promise of prov
ing of much value to the county.
Last year Mr. Sickley sowed seven
teen acres of wheat using about 100
pounds of fertilizer to the acre. His
wheat grew splendidly and yielded 36
bushels to the acre.
Last fall Mr., Sickley sowed forty
acres of wheat, again using about the
same amount of fertilizer. The wheat
is a fine stand and has furnished
excellent pasturage ali winter, Mr..
Sickley declaring that his COWS have
given as much milk as they would have
given on green spring pasturage, and
that the butter has been as yellow as
in summer.
Allen county has never been con-
sidered wheat county. Along the
river bottom, of course, good crops
can be raised, but on the uplands
every attempt to grow wheat resulted
so uniformly in failure that the up
land farmers long ago gave it up. A
great many of them are watching Mr.
Sickley's experiment, however, and if
he succeeds IA second year in getting a
good crop there will be more wheat
sowed on the pairrie next fall than
was ever seen before in this county.
Mr.. Sickley says that fertilizer can
be laid down here by the carload for
about $1,000 a ton. This makes the
cost about a dollar an acre, and il is
his opinion that it would be a good
investment for almost any crop, as the
result is shown in just as marked
degree in corn or oats as in wheat.

She Was Generous Hearted.

Oxford Bee; A young lady attend
ing church one Sunday evening not
long ago, sat directly behind tall
handsomely dressed stranger with a
piece of raveling hanging to his col
lar. Being one of those generous
hearted, whole-souled girls who grow
up to be motherly old ladies' friend
to everybody in towns she thought
how glad she would be if some kind
hearted girl would do so much for her
father we're he to go to church with a
raveling hanging down his back, so
when the audience arose for prayer
she concluded to pick it off. Care
fully raising her hand she gave a
little twitch, but there was more of it
than she supposed and a foot or two
more appeared. Setting her teeth she
gave a pull and a couple of yards of
that horrid thread hung down his
back This was getting embarrass-
ing, but she was determined, gave an
other yank and discovered that she
was unraveling his unhershirt. Her
embarrassment was so painful that
chloroform could not have alleviated
her suffering, nor a pint of powder
hidden her bushes when the gentle
man turned with an inquiring look to
see what was tickling his neck.

Snit For 5000 Damages.

In the district court Wednesday
suit was filed by Bessie Saylor for
$500 damages against DIR. G. w. Cox.
The petitioner alleges that along
about August 7, 1900, she ran a needle
in to the thumb of her right hand be-
tween the second and third joints.
She summoned DR.. Cox to treat her
and he did so. After administering a
narcotic he cut into the heshy part of
her hand to get the needle and when
she returned to consciousness told her
that he had secured and removed the
needle. She paid him the fee of So,
but soon after the thumb began troub-
ling her again and after suffering
great pain for four months she went to
another surgeon and he performed an
other operation and found the needle,
Wherefore she wishes damages in the
sum of $500 from DR.. Cox, so for the
second DOCTORS fee, So given Dr. Cox
$40 for loss of four months time and
$445 for suffering and mental anguish,

Got Even with the Dude.

Paris is laughing over how an art
ist got even with dude who, having
sat for his picture, was so dissatisfied
with the result that he refused to pay
for it. The count de X, recently had
crayon picture of himself made,
which he afterward pretended to find
fault with.
"It does not bear the slightest re-
semblance to me, " he said, "and l will
not take it" The artist protested,
but to no avail. "All right, mon
sieur," he remarked finally; 'if it is
not at all like you, of course I can't
reasonably expect to get paid for it. "
After the count had left the painter
added to the portrait magnificent
pair of ass ears and exhibited it to
the gaze of the curious public. 1t had
not been so long exposed when the
count broke into the artists studio in
towering rage, and, finding that
threats availed him nothing, at last
offered to buy it at a considerable ad.
vance upon the original price.
''It was not strange that you failed
to recognize your resemblance to the
picture at first, said the painter, de.
termined to be revenged for the slight

Il. KIaumann Will Build.

The REGISTER prophesied at the
time fire cleaned up Fl. Klaumann's $
back yard by burning his stable and
ware room back of his store that the
land would not be allowed to stand
vacant and idle very long.
And now here he comes with pro-
position for bids for new brick
building to cover all the vacant land,
the bids to be opened April D. He
proposes to erect a two-story brick
building with a sixty foot frontage on
Jefferson avenue, which he will cut
into three small business rooms.
They will be twenty-seven feet deep,
the width of the lot, thus making three
rooms 27 by 20 feet. The north room
has already been rented by Readicker
& Pruitt for their meat market and
the others will doubtless rent easily.
The upper floor will be cut into office
rooms and being centrally located
will be desirable.

Sleeping with the RahY.

From the Concorda Kansan.
The grand experience given at one
of the 'mothers meetings" of man
who has "slept with baby, and has
lived through it, ;" will strike respon-
sive chord in the breasts of those who
have passed night with one of those
little wriggling, tossing mortals of
humanity.
The baby if it happens to be lusty
little fellow of eight or nine months,
will decline to stay covered and will
also decline to allow you to keep your
self covered. He indicates his wishes
in this direction by keeping his little
pink heels going all night, good part
of the time on your back.
He will also insist ON lying "cross
wise, " lend wise, " ''cat-a-cornered. !"
ION bias" or in any other position
but that which will give. you few
inches of room in tEe bed and few
minutes Of sleep. His infantile needs
will begin tot manifest themselves
about one o'clock in the morning. at
which hour you will go blundering
around in the dark for drink of
water.
He will howl steadily and cheerfully
from two to three o'clock and will
kick you furiously between the shoulder
blades with every. howl.
1t will not be of any use to pat him
tend erly and sing out, There, there. "
He is right there, and knows it, and
intend that you shall lIknow it.
1t is of no use to say, coaxingly,
"What does,papa's baby want? Papa's
baby don'tIwant anything but to howl
and he is gratifying that amible desire
to the utmost. 1t is no use to add to
your judgment day list of enormities
by swearing. And if your wife has
been calmly passive through it all she
will develop an amazing degree of
spirit if you dare to lay the weight of
your finger in anger upon that poor
dear innocent darling sweetness. He
will squirm all night as though he
were first cousin to an angle worm.
He.will journey around all over the
bed, both under and on top of the
coverings.
You are no sooner asleep than one
of his moist little heels is planted
firmly on your nose or in your mouth,
and, later on with childhood's scorn
of decency or decorum, he will sit
astride your neck and grow green and
purple with rage when made to sit else
where Should he fall out of bed and
yell loud enough to be heard all over
your ward, your wife will say she be-
lieves you pushed him out, and that
you are not fit to be Il father anyhow
An animated dialogue of a personal
and private nature will follow.
But when the roistering little chap
finally 'smuggles up" to youand goes
to sleep with one of his velvety little
cheeks close to your own, and one of
his own warm soft arms around your
neck, you find your heart growing
very tender towards him and you
would wage war single handed against
a host or lay down your life for the
! love of him.
