MIXED HUSBANDRY.
Secretary Wilson Addresses National
Live Stock Association.

Chicago, Dec. 3.-The fifth annual
convention of the National Livestock
association began here at the Stude-
baker theater today with nearly 1000
delegates present.
The convention was called to order by
President Springer. Rev. c. NJ Co
burn of Chicago, offered a prayer, and
Governor Yates and DIR. Howard Tay-
lor, representing Mayor Harrison, well
coined the delegates on behalf of the
state and of the city. H. S. CoWan, of
Texas, responded in behalf of the cat
tlemen.
The feature of the afternoon session
was the address of Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson.
He spoke of mixed Livestock Hus-
bandry,' saying in part:
"A we'll arranged system of rotation
uniform fertility of the soil, and is also
one of the readiest means by which to
get rid of insect pests
THE department of agriculture is
searching the world over for plants
that may be useful in the several states
and territories of the union to be used
as features in systems of rotation
Where a locality becomes addicted to
ter year, the average soil deteriorates
unless fertilizers are applied, whether
the crop be cotton, or wheat, or what
ever is sold from the SOIL
1T is found profitable in some parts
of the United States to grow rutabaga
turnipS and feed them to domestic ami
wurzel is most in favor. The cabbage,
potato and other vegetables are useful
along this line when their price is low.
The sugar beet has been tried and gives
very satisfactory tonnage l do not
think it needs demonstration to show
the wisdom of growing SON ething of
this kind to feed to domestic animals
in winter. On the rich soils of the
northwest, in both humid and irrigated
localities rotation can be conveniently
practiced.
"A crop of sugar beetS can be grown,
to be fed on the farm; then the land
can be seeded down for two or three
years with grasses and legumes for pas
ture, in order 10 restore to the soil the
humos that was taken away by the
growth of the previous crops, and also
in order to give nature time to pre-
pare the plant food that was taken
away by the beet crop, which is d
gross feeder of potash and other neces-
Sary elements of plant growth.
The department of agriculture is
trying to find markets for the products
of the dairy and for many other things
in foreign countries. Wheverever we
go, whether east, west, or south, we
meet representatives of European
countries as competitors who buy the
grains of the northwest and turn them
into dairy products upon which they
make a fine profit in addition to main
tanning the fertility of their soils. 1t is
try to theirs; 1t is an acknowledgment
that we lack either the skill or the en-
terpriSe to use our raw material to the
best advantage. The fastening poverty
for sale admonishes US that We must
stop selling plant food in the shape of
grain that's that are raw material for
other nations

SWETLICK HEIRS LOSE.
Insurance Case For $50, 900
Sent Back For Retrial.

The case of John Q. Meyers, admin

company, of New York appealed TO the
United States circuit court of appeals
at St. Louis, has been remanded to the
circuit court of Kansas for a new trial
Swetlick was killed in 1892 He had
about SS7 900 life insurance. All the in

Q. Meyers. administrator, brought suit
for the recovery of the balance The
suit in the case in question was decided
In favor OF the plaintiff by Judge Hook
and an appeal was taken by the ins1r-
ance company in July of last year.
The question involved in the effort to
get a rehearing was the matter of the
authenticity of the answers made by
an applicant for insurance to the ques-
uons propounded in the application
blank.
The validity of an insurance policy
depends on the truthful answer to
questions propounded by the company
when application for insurance is
made" is the gist of the opinion handed
down by the United States circuit court
of appeals. Judge Elmer H Adams de-
nvered the decision and remanded the
case to the circuit court for a new trial
Following Swetlick's death his heirs
sought to recover from the Home In
surance company S25, 900 At the trial
of the case in the United States circuit
court in Topeka, 1t developed in the tes-
timony that when Swetlick applied for
a question put by the insurance com

other insurance. In reality he had
Paul B. Swetlick lived on farm near
the Pottawatomie reservation in Jack
son county He obtained life insurance
aggregating about $S7 900, and had paid
one or two premiums when he was
killed he was poor man, and the
big insurance he had taken out caused
the insurance people to suspect suicide
This suspicion was strengthened by the
fact that his own revolver was found
tied to his saddle He was found dead
near his horse near the bushes. with
bullet hole in the back of his head.
The coroner's jury decided that he came
to his death by the hand of an unknown
person The attorneys for the COM
panies were Rossington, Smith & Hist
ed. of Topeka, and for the defense John
H Atwood, of Leavenworth.
The decision of the court of appeals
will have widespread bearing on in
gurance cases in the future
Mrs. Katherine Klusmire. who was
murdered by ner husband near Holton
last May, was sister of Swetlick.

AYERS PISTOL.
One Found i'm Dead Mans Room
in Evidence.
Partially Identified by a Num-
ber of Witnesses.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The pistol with
which James Seymour Ayers was killed
at the Hotel Kenmore last May, and
is undergoing trial, figured prominently
in today's proceedings of the case.
Duncan B. Hubbard of Mount Clemens,
Mich. who formerly lived at the Ken
more, testified that he had seen a pistol
in bureau drawer in Ayers room, ana
identified the weapon in evidence as
being very similar to it. Thomas Ford,
of Sanilac county, Michigan, testified
that while on a visit here last January
Ayers had loaned him a revolver. The
witness described the weapon in detail
and said that the one with which the
killing was done closely resembled it,
He also testified that when Ayers
loaned him the pistol it was loaded. J.
p. Stevens also testified to having seen
a pistol in Ayers room, and partially
identified the one in evidence.
A. K. Berklyn. a dyer and scourer
was called to refute the testimony of
DR.. Schaeffer, the expert who testified
for the prosecution. He said it was a
sim pie operation to remove blood spots
from garments and that he had fire.
Quently done so in a manner to leave no
trace of the spots Witnesses also tes-
titled during the morning session of the
court to the dances given in the hotel
present and to the bloody finger marks
on the curtain in Ayers room.
Fred c. Rutter testified that he had
heard Ayers and his companions about
midnight of the night of the tragedy
and it was his impression that they
is thought the case will go to the jury

LOBDELL Is READY.
Says He Will Hold Court i'm
Spite of Judge Andrews.

c. E Lobdell, of Dighton, who has
been appointed judge of the Thirty
third judicial district by Governor Stan
ley, to succeed Judge J. z. Andrews, is
in Topeka today, and says he expects
to go ahead and hold court, no matter
whether Judge Andrews gives up the
office not.
Judge Andrews will probably do the
same thing, and a peculiar situation is
likely to result. Which ever one is rec
ognized by the sheriff and clerk of the
district court will probably get the pris-
oners to try and have the court ma
chlnery, and the other one will have to
bring quo warranto proceedings in the
supreme court
A similar state of affairs may develop
in the other judicial districts in which
contests may arise.

COUNTRY CONGRATULATED
On Account of Restored Confidence
and Astounding Prosperity

During the last five years business
confidence has been restored, and the
nation is to be congratulated because
of its present abounding prosperity:
Such prosperity can never be created
by law alone although 1T is easy enough
to destroy it by mischievous laws. If
the hand of the Lord is heavy upon any
country if flood or drought comes. hu-
man wisdom is powerless to avert the
calamity. Moreover. no law can guard
against the consequences of our own
folly. The men who are idle or credu-
Ious, the men who seek gains not by
genuine work with head or hand but by
gambling in any form, are always a
source of menace not only to themselves
but to others. If the business world
loses its head. it loses what legislation
cannot supply. Fundamentally the well
fare of each citizen. and therefore the
welfare of the aggregate of citizens
which makes the nation, must rest upon
individual thrift and energy, resolution
and intelligence Nothing can take the
place of this individual capacity; but
wise legislation and honest and intel
ligent administration can give il the
fullest scope, the largest opportunity
to work to good effect
SERIOUS SOCIAL PROBLEMS.
The tremendous and highly complex
Industrial development which went on
with ever accelerated rapidity during
the latter half of the nineteenth CEN
tury brings us FACE to face. at the be-
ginning of the twentieth, with very SER
ious social problems The old laws, and
the old customs which had almost the
binding force of law. were once quite
sufficient to regulate the accumulation
and distribution of wealth. Since the
industrial changes which have so enor-
mously increased the productive power
of mankind. they are no longer sufh-
cient.
The growth of cities has gone on be-
yond comparison faster than the growth
of the country, and the upbuilding of
the great industrial centers has meant
q startling increase not merely in the
aggregate of wealth, but in the number
of very large individual, and especially
of very large corporate, fortunes. The
creation of these great corporate for
tunes has not been due to the tarin
nor to any other governmental action.
but to natural causes in the business
world, operating in other countries as
they operate in our own
MUCH ANTAGONISM.
The process has aroused much antag-
onism a great part of which is wholly
without warrant 1t is not true that as
the rich have grown richer the poor
have grown poorer On the contrary,
never before has the average man. the
wage worker. the farmer, the small
trader been so we'll off in this coun-
try and at the present time. There have
been abuses connected with the accum-
ulation of wealth: yet it remains true
mate business can be accumulated by
the person specially benefited only on
condition of comforting immense Incl
dental benefits upon others Successful
enterprise of the type which benefits all
mankind can only exist if the condi-
tions are such as to offer great prizes
as the rewards of success
