Senator Burton Delivers che Princi-
nal Address.

Baxter Springs, Kan, Aug. 29.-The
Baxter reunion was formally turned over
to the visiting veterans yesterday and
from now until Saturday night they
will remain in full possession. The first
roll call by states took place this after
noon Illinois led, with 25S in ine;Towa

with us; Missouri fourth, with III ohio
fifth, with rs When one lonesome vet
eran stepped to the front when Missis-
sippi was called the old soldiers gave
him three cheers.
Senator ]. r. Burton delivered an
address this afternoon. He dropped in
with no speech prepared. s'What shall
/ say he asked after being introduced
by Col. L. G. Weldy. Tell the truth, "
shouted an old veteran in the audience.
s'AlI right, replied the senator, but I
will refrain from talking about myself"
He then took truth as the theme, and
for an hour held the close attention of
the audience. 1t was one of the happiest
talks Burton ever made. He got off on
the right foot. He applied the text to
politics, and governmental affairs, and
said the reason the Union men won the
civil war was because they were on the
right side and fought for the truth. He
incidentally remarked that the Republic
can party stood for a greater per cent
of truth than any other political party,
and for that reason it was kept in

Baltimore, Aug. 29.-Manager Nc
Graw has denied the published deports
to the effect that he is to be perma-
nently retired from active baseball on
account of his injured knee. He said
last night: MY knee is now in a plas-
ter cast and the injury will keep me
out of the game for some time, but ]
have no intention of retiring from
base ball. As soon as my condition viii
allow I will be playing again" Hart,

by President Johnson for assaulting an

asked Sir Thomas Upton for a race be-
fore or after the Americas cup races
and does not intend to. He thinks it
would. be unfair to place the owner of
Shamrock II IN the embarrassing posi-
ton such a request might produce.
Why the pleasure of Sir Thomas
visit should be married by calling his
attention to a matter that is unfortun-
ate. is beyond my understanding Of
how real sport should be conducted, -
said Mr. Lawson.
Circumstantial evidence that Mr..
Lawson did not build the independence
as a speculation has come to light. Be
fore he placed the contract he secured
from Gen. Charles j. Paine. a member
of the Americas cup committee, an
opinion that the boat would be eligible.
The Independence has cost Mr.. Law
son more than $3.50. 600, and now that
she is going to the junk heap without
having had a better trial, the, opinion
is expressed that It will be good many
years before another Boston cup de-
fender is built

The OLD K. q. Coach will Train the
Michigan Football Team.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Aug. 29.-Coach #.
III. Yost, who Will head the University
of Michigan football system this fall.
will arrive in this city tomorrow, when
the plans for training of the eleven viii
be started at once.
YOst has had remarkable success as
a developer of championship eleyens at
Lafayette college, Ohio Wesleyan, Ne
braska, Kansas and Leland Stanford
universities. Local followers expect
him to regain for Michigan the 'laurels
lost in 1899 and 1900.
OF the 1900 team Happy Brown,
center, and Marks, guard. are the only
ones who are sure not to return, al
though Weber, the husky little half
back from the Austin high school, is
doubtful.
Captain White, ex-Captafn Snow,

regulars win be here besides wilson
and Woodward, who were really en-
titled to Ms last season. OF the bet
ter class of substitutes Monte Brown,
Burns. Durant, Mechlin. Graver, Milo,
White and Steery are counted on, and
when to these are added the numerous
freshmen candidates expected it APP
pears that Yost will find an abundance
of material. While long on quantity
there seems TO be some lack of quail
ity, so that every candidate that comes
will have an excellent chance to make
the team. Enthusiasm is already
strong and a good team is predicted by
all the local authorities

PLANTS SECOND CRoP.
Winfield Gardener Will Try to Raise
Late Potatoes.

winfield. Aug. pm. g. Davis. the well
known gardener, says il is not too late
yet TO raise a crop Of potatoes. and he
planted plat of ground to potatoes Mon
day.
His decision to make this experiment
was the result of an accidental discov-
cry. The other day he left some par
tally rotted potatoes in a bucket and a
shower of rain covered them with water
They remained in water about "A hours
and he then threw them out under a tree
in the shade. In day two he noticed
that they were sprouting. some Of them
having sprouts nearly an inch long. This
gave him the idea.
He selected small potatoes for the ex-
pertinent soaked them in tub "A hours
and then poured them the ground in
the shade and turned the tub over them
The next day he cut off the stem and
planted them. He has kept his ground
cultivated, thus retaining the moisture,
and it was in splendid shape. He says
with frost at the usual time he has no
doubt of making potatoes.
If Mr.. Davis theory is correct he could
have kept still and made it valuable to
himself, but he is not built along these
lines. and is willing to give. others the
benefit of what he learns He says he
would like to see every farmer in COwley
county raise. a crop Of late potatoes, and
as the experiment can be made at little or
cost it might be well to try it.

l. Musgreal Says They Are in Good
Condition.

salina, Aug. 29.-"The cattle of Kan
sas are in fine shape now says L.
Musgreal, one of the cattle inspectors
of that state. 1.-THE ranges and pas
lures are green, the grass is good and
there is plenty of fodder in sight The
two diseases which are the most to be
feared among cattle. Texas fever and
the black leg are decreasing. The fever
is kept out by rigid inspection. The
black leg is d disease which affects only
calves and young animals. It is caused
by overlooking. The animals become
fat and sluggish. The circulation of
their blood becomes poor and finally be-
comes stagnant in the veins and blood
poisoning sets in. If you remove the
skin of the leg of an animal afflicted
with the disease you will find that the
flesh is almost black"
