LIBERTY Is SWEET.

At last after twenty-five years Of
Imprisonment IN the walls Of a prison,
and many previous futile efforts upon
the parts OF their friends, Cole and
Jim younger are permitted to taste the
sweetness of freedom. Though prac-
tically prisoners in the county in
which the penitentiary is located, their
liberties are so much extended, as
compared with their former life, that
they are as happy as little children
within the scope of their increased
territory. Their release is to some
extent an evidence that the south and
the north have buried the past and
that time has a tendency to allay even
the bitterest human resentment; it is
also a tribute of respect which the
noble and brave men OF Minnesota are
willing to pay to brave though erring
men. The friends Of the Youngers in
Missouri and elsewhere have every
confidence that these paroled prisoners
will honorably maintain the terms OF
their parole.

Feeding Wheat to Stock.

In view OF the prospects OF q scarcity
OF corn aud an abundance Of good
wheat the following may be interesting
to our farmers:
F. d. Coburn, secretary OF the state
board of agriculture, Of Ksns. has ISSUED
a phamphlet on the subject Of feeding
wheat to stock. The report Is baised
on results obtained from feeding the
grain TO stock and shows Its value as q
factor in stock raising. The following
are a few paragraphs from the report:
In Kansas, under the conditions as
to product and prices of wheat, and
corn existing IN the years lS9S-94-s5,
wheat has become . very unusual and
very important factor in the grain
feeding Of all classes of farm stock.
1t is superior to corn, pound for
pound, SIS q grain to produce healthful
well-balanced growth in your ANIMALS.
Mixed with corn, oats or bran, it is
much superior to either alone, for
work horses.
Fed to cows, it is an exceptional
milk producer, and for that purpose
corn is scarcely to be compared with it.
For swine Of all ages, It is 4 healthful
aud agreeable food, giving generous
returns in both framework and flesh.
but fed whole, especially without soak
ing, is used at a disadvantage. Ground
and made into Stops, 1t is valuable for
sucking sows, and for pigs both before
and after weaving.
For cattle, it has, at least as a par,
OF their grain ration, a very high value
which Is much enhanced in the line Of
needed variety by mixing with corn,
and in a still greater degree by mixing
judiclOusly with bran. oil cake or
other albuminous foods tending TO
balance the too ca%rponaceous nature OF
the clear wheat.
With corn and wheat approximating
the same price per bushel, it is not un.
profitable nor wicked to feed the wheat .
yet, II it can be ground, rolled, crush
ed or in some way broken at a total
cost not exceeding 8 to 7 cents per
bushel, to feed 1t whole and dry is IN.
wise.
1t can be ground at a cost Of five
cents per bushel and on most Kansas
farms for very much less.
1t grinding is imprac,icable, soaking
for some twenty.four to thirty.si1
hours (tne length Of time depending
somewhat upon the weather and sea.
SOM Is for various reasons deemed de.
sirable, bat 1t IS ~injudlcions 10 any OF.

tent that its being moist facilitates
swallowing without mastication or the
proper mixing with saliva. Any ar
rangement or system of feeding by
which the grain was delivered in such
a way that the animal could eat but
slowly would largely overcome this
defect.
1t is supeior food for all towels, and
as a promoter of the maximum egg
production, is unsurpassed by any
other grain.

In the report dated July l4th of the

that the secretary Is right and that the
crops may prove better than now ex-
pected by many.

DESIRE For A HOME

There is no town in the United
States, probably, that is increasing in
population at present as rapidly as
Ell Reno, Ok. Every train is taking in
hundreds. The probability is that not
more than one IN ten can secure q
home, but the usual gambling spirit of
the people asserts itself and people are
willing to make the long trip to the
territory, endure the crowding and
inconvenlences Of the rush for the one
chance in ten to secure a home. II the
registratiod continues as 1t has started
out from now until the last day Of
registration the chance will probably
not be crater than one in twenty.
While a great many who register are
dong so as a speculation the larger
number are doubtless genuine home
seekers and are possessed Of a strong
desire for q home.

nEAnLnCK OVER SPOILS.

So far as China IS concerned the IN
demuity question has been settled some
months since, but it nov appears that
the division of the indemnity and the
manner of It's payment is causing SO
much delay that for q month proceed
ings have been practically at a stand
still. The ministers meet and agree
upon some plan, subject Of course to
the approval of their respective gov
ernments. So far the ministers hsve
not been able to devise a plan Of
division that proved satisfactory to all
of their governments and so the matter
stands today. England and Russia
seem to be the ones that are not yet
satisfied. The s'bear" don't seem in
clined to make any concessions to the
lion and the ''lIon" keeps on roaring
for more. 1t IS to be hoped that these
so called civilized nations may show
enough Of genuine christian civilization
to bring their differences to a speedy
adjustment and let the poor heather
Chinee go ahead with his settlement.

Why THE DIFFERENCE?

II some poor fellow 10 order to get
bread and meat for his family had
broken into some little country post

cents worth of postage stamps, a pack

little items and had been caught, he

the commission Of the crime, be look.
ing from the inside through the bars of
some federal prison. This leads US to
ask what has become of Neeley, who
was indicted for the embezzlement of
over 100000 Of Cuban postal funds.
At the time of Neeley's arrest the ad-
minlstration proclaimed abroad with
flourish of trumpets and elaborate
declarations that speedy justice would
DO meted out TO the offender. Fourteen
months ago Neeley was arrested and
eight months ago be was extradited to
Cuba and yet nothing has been done.
Some of the excuses are rather anus.

that the case belongs to the war depart.

the delay is caused by the Spanish

NEW NICARAGUA TREATY.

Lord Pauncefote, British ambas-
sador to the United States, is now IN
London. He is reported to have made
9 statement this week to a represen-
tative of the Associated Press.
When asked If he thought there was
any possibility of arriving at an agree
ment regarding the Nicaragua csnsl
before congress convened, he replied:
"Yes, / sincerely hope so. We are
now in the middle of the negotiations
which, although they have not yet
reached any tangible result, show good
promise. Naturally, l may not dis
close the details, but may say that
when l return to the United States at
the end OF October, | hope to take
With me 8 Nicaragua treaty that will
meet the views of both President Nc
Kinley and the British cabinet. 1t
goes without saying that the president
has made himself cognizant Of the
opinions of the senate and Of the Sec
rotary of state.
1t is not to be supposed that Lord
Pauncefote would make a statement Of
this kind without having good grounds
for making it. In all the hobnobbing
that has been going on this summer
between j. Pierpont Morgan and other
American multi millionaires who have
been on pleasure trips to London, and
the English fnanciers |. may be safely
accepted as a foregone conclusion that
President Mckinley through his bosses,
the money magnates, has signified to
Lord Pauncefote what be could expect
st the hands Of The United States senate.
Before j. P. Morgan left for London
he had seen Hanna and Mckinley and
doubtless had assurances that Hanna
would handle the senate and bring
refractory members into line with the
party lash. The In which
Hanna handled the republican state
convention OF Ohio is an indication Of
how the senate will be "Hannsized"
and made 10 do the bidding of the
little coterie Of millionsires who re-
Gently came across the ocean in the
steamer Deutschland.
The senate does not need to be in
session for Hanna TO say what the
senate will do. This new Nicaragua
treaty will more than likely be ap-
proved and then will come the ship
subsidy scheme and the great railroad
consolidation scheme and the coal
combine scheme and various other
schemes that have been Matched by the
millionaires IN leisure hours during the
past summer. The unprecedented hot
spell which we have been having this
summer will be frosty compared with
the hot time hat Is in store for the
people when Pauncefote and Hay and
Mckinley and Hanna have completed
their Nicaragua treaties and other
schemes for getting the money of the
masses into the Golfers Of the few
favored ones, and the prosperity"
band will still play on.

AMERICAN TRAP SHOOTERS.

The victorious team Of American
trap shooters arrived this week in
Boston. In the international shoots
in great Britain they very near car
ried everything before them, They
we're ready while abroad to take up
any shooting proposition, no matter If
1t was different from anything to
which they had been accustomed, and
even beat the foreigners al their own
games. The English sporting journals
have been vigorously engaged In
making explanations and xcuses and
showing why the Americans we're
so uniformly victorious. The out
siders, however, need no explanations.
They know 1t is simply another a s OF
American superiority ove old country
citizens who have been deluding them
selves with the false idea that they are
superior to their yankee cousins on
this side of the big pond. In trap
shooting. sailing yachts OIL most any
kind OF q game the American is a
winner.

believer in the mo fog in August, no
