EXCURSION TO YELLOWSTONE PARK
American Tourist Association win Travel
 in the West This Year.


 in the West This Year.
 An extended tour to the Yellowstone Park has been arranged by the Amer ican Tourist Association, of which Reau Campbell is general manager. Many people of this vicinity are going, as the itinerary is leisurely and there are such long stops at all points of inter est that the travellers will be able to make extended explorations of such places as Pike's Peak and Garden of the Gods in Colorado. The itinerary of the tour includes a visit to unique Salt Lake City and long ride in sight of the Rocky Mountains. The same features that have hitherto made these tours so popular will be promi- nent this year. There will be utmost privacy for small parties in the Pull man sleeping and dining cars, and all the coaches used on the drives will be for the exclusive use of the tour lsts. The American Tourist Asso- citation has also arranged a tour of Alaska, and if individual members of the Yellowstone party desire to con- tinue further north the trip will be incorporated in the itinerary. The cost of tickets of these tours includes all expenses everywhere. Full par ticulars will be furnished upon appli- eaton to nearest agent.

condition of Affairs at Insane Asylum.
 Commissioner of Agriculture Hill Is arranging, in conjunction with the Choctaw railroad. for an exhibit of Arkansas products at the Buffalo ex- position.
 The state department has been no tified of an epidemic of an unknown disease among mules and horses in Desha county. It seems to be an in- lection of the blood, and not a single animal attacked has recovered.
 Dr. Hooper, superintendent of the state insane asylum. has published statement of conditions at the above institution. Dr. Hooper states that the asylum is able to accommodate only 500 patients. and that there are now at the institution GAO unfortu- mates. Referring to applications for admission of patients, the superin- tendent says:
 There are on the roster and now present in the asylum GAO patients. The legislature made an appropria- tion of $100 per capita per year for their maintenance, care and comfort. which is $S.33 each per month. Out of this fund everything must be pro- vided. The fuel bill amounts to s10.- 900 year; for lights, $2,400; water, $2,250 besides clothing. bedding, fur niture, washing, ironing, medicines and food. Besides the patients there are over 100 employees and officers who are provided with board, lodging and laundry accommodations, as the law provides. Out of this provision for 600 people of SS33 per month TAO are provided for, as you see. How this is done it is hard to explain, but still it is done. The limit, however. has been reached, and the strain is a heavy one. We can do no more now. The admissions can come only after death or recovery of others; most particularly is this so in the col ored department. There seems to be no other remedy except for the coun- ties to provide their own IF ans of care and comfort. The senators and representatives in the last legislature can better tell why this distressing state of affairs exists than I can. did my duty in presenting the condi- tions to the general assembly. l could do no more. I have done my duty here and stretched my means and facilities to their utmost. and I believe if the situation is properly un- derstood the officials of the state will not importune and distress me with pleadings I cannot yield to. however much l would be pleased to favorably meet them"

Refuse to Renouncs Their FraternitIes.

The Globe-Democrat publishes the following special from it's Little Rock correspondent: "The action of the last legislature in barring members of Greek-letter societies from the honors of the state university attracted large number of fraternity members to Lit tie Rock to attend meeting There are five societies in the state univer- sity-the Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, Kappa Alpha, Delta Phi and Chi Omega, the latter two among the young ladies. Many members of the faculty are members of these frater- mites and are transferring their mem bership to chapters in other institu- tions. Most of them have positively declined to renounce allegiance to their fraternity. Many of the student body, majority of whom are affiliat- ed with the societies, are also transfer ring, while others persist in main taining their organization within the university. This will force the issue at the beginning of the next scholastic year. Some of the hotheads have gone so far as to advise practical mutiny. but wiser counsel will prevail and an amicable adjustment be reached There is strong talk of testing the law before the supreme court, and a prominent educator has remarked that the legislature passed no law which stands better chance of being declared unconstitutional"

and personal, is bequeathed to Mrs.
Mckinley during her natural life. A
charge is made in the will for the

dent McKinley's handwriting, and
is written on the note paper of the
executive mansion. The last clause
reads: My chief concern is that my
wife from my estate shall have all
she requires for her comfort and
pleasures, and that my mother shall
be provided with whatever money
she requires to make her old age
comfortable and happy"

Will Not Support Hill.

The Nebraska Independent says:
To relieve the intense anxiety suf.
fered by Brother Rosewater lest
"the Democrats and Pops'' which by
his writings seems to cause him
many sleepless nights. The Inde-
pendent wishes to say that the DEM
ocrats can't do it. The organization
of the Populist party will be main
tained in Nebraska without q break
in any county in the State. As
long as there is Dave Hill, Cleve-
land or Whitney in the Democratic
party, POpulism will refuse to be
swallowed. We hope that this plain
statement will be q great comfort to
the Bee and that he will cease to toss
restlessly upon his bed, dreading
the awful calamities that will fol-
low the swallowing of the Pops by
the Democrats.
The Nebraska Independent Is the
recognized organ of the Peoples
party of Nebraska, and we are glad
to see that it has taken the above
position. We believe it voices the
sentiments of the Populists party of
the whole nation.
1t is now practically certain that
ex-senator D. B. Hill or Mr.. Whit
ney, or some so-called Democrat of
that stripe will be the next nominee
for President. OF course that means
Third party candidate for Pfesi-
dent in the field and a vigorous
which will poll more
votes for such candidate than was
received by Weaver in 1892. We
take 1t that President Roosevelt will
receive the nomination of his party,
and as between Mr.. Rooee velt and
Mr.. Hill, the CAUCASIAN feels like
saying it would rather see the for
mer President.

CENSUS COTTON REPORT.

The 1900 Crop Consisted OF 1O,4se, ,14s
Commercial Bales. of Which North
Carolina Raised, 900, 0,35I,
Washington, Sept. 2s.-The
Census Bureau report, issued to-day,
ON the cotton ginned in the United
States, shows the crop of 1900 to
have been 1O,4S6,148 commercial
bales, (bales as marketed), equiva-
lent to 10, O,123,O27 bales Of the 500
pound standard or to 5,O61,513,294
This IS an increase of 84O,174 COM
merclal bales or more than 8 per
cent in excess Of the 1899 crop.
Texas grew "a per cent of the en-
tire crop of 1900 and one-fourth of
the worlds crop of that year. Its
crop increased 33 per cent over 1899,
the 1900 crop being 3,536,5O6 COM
mercial bales and the 1899 crop
1858, ,555. East of the Mississippi
production decreased. Although
the crop of 1899 east of the Missis
sippi, which was 5,O94,541 bales,
was generally regarded as short, that
OF 1900 was but 4,781,195, de-
crease of 313,256. This loss was
more than offset by the gains in the
region west and southwest of the
Mississippi. where the yield was
5,341,S32 in 1900, an increase of
25.7 per cent. Following is the
total crop of 1900 in commercial
bales by states:
Alabama 1,O61,67s, Arkansas
82S,82O, Florida 55,696, Georgia
1,27O,597, Indian Territory

Virginia 1888. Utah's crop in
500 pound bales is 81. It is not
given by commercial bales. The
Census Bureau announces that the
report definitely establishes the
feasibility of an annual report of the
cotton crop through the agency of
the ginners.

in Auburn at 3:15 a. IN. The prison

train was a crowd of about 900 nao.
pie. Either for fear of the crowd
which was not very demonstrativ..
or from the sight Of the prison
Czolgosz's legs gave out and two
deputy sheriffs were compelled TO
practically carry the man into the
prison.
Inside the gate his condition be-
came worse and he was dragged up
stairs and into the main hall, and
placed in a sitting position on n
bench while the handouts were be-
ing removed, but fell over and
moaned and groaned, evincinp most
ahject terror.
AZ soon as his handouts were un.
locked, the man was dragged into
the principal keepers office. As in
the case OF all prisoners, the officers
Immediately proceeded to strip him
and put on a new suit of clothes.
During the operation, Czolgosz cried
and yelled. Prison Physician Germ
examined the man and ordered his
removal to the cell in the condemn
eel row.
His collapse was a surprise to
every one. En- route from Buffalo
ne showed no indication of breaking
down. He ate heartily of sand
wiches and smoked cigars when not
eating, talked some and expressed
regret for his crime and said: 81 am

who claimed to have tied the hand
kerchief over his hand, concealing
the pistol with which the president
was shot. He says the handkerchief
was not tied. He went behind the
Temple Of Music, arranged the
handkerchief so as to hide the weap-
on, and then took his place in the
crowd.

Harmonizing Temper In Marriaxe.


Far more difficult than the mere
harmonlzing Of opinions is, in mar
ried life, the harmonizing of tenn
pers; while many people have no
opinions worth mentioning on any
subject, the humblest or most ignor-
ant can set up a temper. Nothing
can deal with tempers except con.
science and time. / have known
young married couples with whom
1t was unpleasant to be in the house
during the first year of their mar
rage; and yet habit and sheer neces-
slty made their society tolerable
within two years, and positively
agreeable in five. The presence of
children is a help to this compati-
bleness, as being the one possession
absolutely shared and necessarily ac-
cepted by each parent. Another
great aid to the harmonizing of tenn
pers,-indeed something priceless, as
permanent rule,-is to study mu-
tualiy may be called the equation of
preferences,-that is, to. form a habit
OF considering, when husband and
wife differ about any matter, which
OF the two has really the most rea-
son to care about it. Thus it NAV
sometimes make little difference to
the wife whether breakfast is early
or late, while late breakfast NAV
cost the husband his morning train;
Or carriage may be very import
ant matter to wife with her skirts
to take care of, while it may make
no serious difference to the husband
whether he walks or rides. 1t is
surely better that one should make
little sacrifice, on any matter, than
that the other should make far
greater one. Many a household Jar
which would have left prolonged
stlngs behind il, if made a mere test
of will and persistence, is settled
easily when the equation of prefer
ences is applied to it, and each is
ready to make little sacrifice to
save the other from a greater one.-I

Harvesting With Automobiles.

The cost Of harvesting wheat on
the Pacific Coast has been so lessen
ed, by the use of automobiles, that
greater amount of the grain can
produced at the same actual expense
than in the Argentine Republic,
where labor costs only a fraction of
dollar a day. The large automo-
bile traction engines, now used in
California, are of fifty horse power,
and are provided with driving
wheels sixty inches in diameter.
They do the plowing, planting, and
harvesting, in their proper seasons.
One traction engine performs. the
triple work of plowing, narrowing,
and planting. in one operation.

After full Information presented
by the State Agricultural Depart.
ment OF the intrinsic value Of cot.
ton seed Of fertiizing, stock feeding,
etc, supplemented by the individual
knowledge and experience Of the
farmers present In relation 10 them,
the following recommendations were
made, and the undersigned appoint.
ed committee to briefly outline
the conclusions OF The convention:
That we should no. dispose of our
seed In case Of sale, for less than
twenty-five cents per bushel, or
when exchanging the same to mills
we should not receive less than
1893 Ia pounds of meal, anaiyzing
a per cent ammonia for q ton of
seed. This price was based ON pres
ent price Of cotton seed meal and
Oil. If these products advance In
price the seed should sell 1T higher
price than 25 cents per bushel. In
the event we are not able to sell or
exchange on these terms, then II.
was recommended that we should
use the seed ON the farm for fertil-
1zer, and wherever practicable there
should be established by the farmers
neighborhood cotton seed oil mills.
1t was the sense of the convention
that 1t was preferable to exchange
the seed for meal to be used on the
farm rather than impoverish the
farm by the system of robbery SO
much practiced by our farmers in
making an outright sale Of the seed.
In all cases of sale or exchange the
purchaser should pay the freight on
seed and the farmers freight on
meal. 1t was Furthermore agreed
to urge upon our friends the i'm
portance Of township and county
to accomplish this
desirable end; for we fully realize
That mere state organizations and
can accomplish but little
unless those whom we seek to aid
shall organize among themselves
and actively and intelligently CO.
operate with US. To this end we
lDslst that every farm-r interested
IN procuring better prices for cotton
seed engage actively in this work of
organization and that 10 time be
ost in perfecting the same in each |
township and county.
