KANSAS FIGURING MILLS.


Production In 1900.
Topeka, May 2s, The state labor
commissioners report has chapter on
Kansas Touring mills which shows that
the manufactured product OF these
mills in 1000 aggregated i73,975,O95
pounds, Of which s59,Oso,?52 pounds
was wheat Hour Sixty per cent OF
this wheat -four was retained in tho
state and consumed, 20 per cent went
to other states and per cent was exc
ported. And yet only "a per cent Of
the states wheat yield was milled in
the Seate 70 per cent was shipped away
to be ground, The United States pro.
duced 81 per cent of the whole wheat
crop Of the world and of this amount
l5ll per cent was grown in Kansas,
Kansas produced more than any
other two large wheat growing states
in the Union last year, Continuing,
the deduction is made that II Kansas
total crop Of wheat had been manufac-
tured into flour II would have made g.
Gel, 900, 900, pounds or 10000 600 ffty
pound Sacks or nearly one ifty.pound
sack OF flour to every man, woman and
child in the United States, In other
words Kansas could have fed its own
population for ten years, Had this
been made into bread 1t would have
baked $500, 100000 loaves, Placed side
by side the loaves would make con.

be that the supreme court. as has been

Another distinguished lawyer and re-
publican. ex-senator Edmunds, of Yer
mont, holds views substantially in ac-
cor with Mr.. Littlefield. Those repub-
licans who believe that the question
of expansion has been finally settled
by the supreme courts decisions will
be surprised to find that some OF the
ablest men in their party take issue
with them. The issue now is largely
one of law. and it is interesting to
know that lawyers still regard il as

A Troublesome Republican

Representative LittleieId. of Maine,

friends in the House or Representa-
tives a great deal Of trouble by his in
dependence. When the Porto Rican
tariff bill was introduced in the house
Mr.. Littlefield denounced 1t in unmeas
ured terms. On other issues-notably
in respect to the expansion issue-he
is out of touch with republican senti-
ment. Notwithstanding this fact, the
Maine congressman seems to be solid
with his constituents. and they re-
elect him TO congress without asking
him to adapt his views to party plat
forms.

1t is the first rote sounded at the birth

comes a part OF this great struggle, and
devotes his time to the upbuilding and
uplifting of hundreds of homes in the
intense battle of human existence
when he has spent the major portion
of his life for the good of man and the
prosperity Of communities, he has
earned the peace and contentment that

is Henry NJ. Flagler, who with his mil

set the standard of unselfishness among

so cruel and heart so calloused as to
seek to roughen the journey he has

American Trade Resources

By a singular freak of fortune, this
summers almost worldwide drought
which ruined the Missouri Valley corn
crop, blighted also a good part of Eu-
ropes growing wheat. and yet hardly
touched the wheat fields Of America,
The upshot is that Europe must once
more buy our wheat in enormous guam
tity, while we have an ample surplus
supply with which to meet it's orders.
Europe's stock of cotton in hand for
manufacture, though much larger in
the aggregate than a year ago, is still
only half what it was in midsummer
of 1899, and foreign orders ave been
so large that despite a decline of 10 to
20 per cent. in the price of cotton the
July exports increased s2,600,000 over
1900. he showing in the agricultural
export trade is remarkable enough; but,
all things considered, the results in
other lines Of export are still more

known 5hrinkage in the average Euro
pean demand for manufactures, and
the check to production in n import

tural shipments in July was nearly

less than a million dollars short of July

Captain j. c. Jensen is her master. and

for Norway and Sweden, and yesterday
morning he summoned the captain and
the sailors before him. He found hat
one of the sailors was entitled to dis
charge and ordered his release. AS to
A. Akerblum and Peter Nelson, two
able-bodied seamen, they were refused
discharge
Yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock
Akerblum and Nelson Quarreled with
Captain Jensen and mutinied. Aker
blum. with Nelson aiding and abetting,
assaulted and beat the captain. His face
was badly bruised and cut in several
places and DR.. John 7. Sconwald had
to be sent on board to patch up the
wounds.
Captain Jensen reported the mutiny
to Vice Consul Heide and he applied at
police headquarters for officers to go
aboard and arrest the two mutinous
sailors. Sergeant George w. Smith and
officer D. w. Willis boarded the ship,
made the arrest and lodged the offend
ers behind the bars at the station house.
The mutineers will be kept in con-
inement until the Scrafton sails next
week and they will then be placed in
iron and sent home for trial.
Vice Consul Heide sent over for Cap
air Jensen to come and make a
statement of the difficulty, but he was
not able to leave the ship.

Why. IL food is SO healthful and

And the man did thrive. He is thriv-
