Theodore Roosevelt will not attend

of his regiment, and as he does not
expect to make a trip west this year,
he will not be able to pay your Chau-
tauqua a visit. He thanks you COR
daily for your courtesy in desiring
bin to come"

The Side-Wheel Steamer Erie Came
into Port First

Cleveland. June 4.-The steamer
City OF Erie of Cleveland won the 100
race from the steamer Tashmoo of
Detroit today. The two boats belong
to rival lines.
Stripped of everything that would
unnecessarily catch the wind, the two
large modern sidewheel passenger
steamers, City of Erie of Cleveland
and the Tashmoo of Detroit, lined up
this morning for their great hundred
mile dash from Cleveland to Erie to
decide the speed championship of the
great lakes. Steamboat men fro many
lake ports gathered to see the contest.
Special excursion boats from Cleve-
land, Toledo, Erie Buffalo and smaller
ports took large loads of passengers
to points along the course. Throngs
of curious persons alsogathered along
the lake shore to catch a glimpse of
the racers.

PRACTICAL HlNTs ON THE CARE or

Proper Care of Cattle.
Two errors are commonest to begin.

neglect, says the editor Of The Breed
er's Gazette. The first is most apt To
be manifest with that class which has
been attracted to the trade chiefly az
an Investment for idle funds or money
on which they seek better returns than
they have been getting. AS good prices
have been paid, 1t naturally follows
that good care should be given the pur-
chases.

posed of at auction-certainly the most
of those that command high prices

Fat sells them. This is undoubtedly
true. more's the pity.
Some men who purchase such care
fully prepared animals believe thar
they must carry on the stufing process
and arrange thus to do by building en-
pensive stables and affordlng every
luxury of care and overfeed that can
be conjured up. Later this mistake
will be realized You can kill an ani
NAL by kindness. You can feed the
usefulness out Of COW. You can sap
the vigor Of bull, and all in the effort
to treat them kindly.
Other men seemingly buy pedigreed
beef cattle under the impression that
one of their characteristics is TO live
and thrive on less than scrub cattle.
The first act of such a man on getting
home a valuable purchase is to turn

the winter, no protection is offered
from the icy blasts. If summer heat
has parched the pastures, they watch
the dust kicked up by the heels OF the
tramping, hungry cattle, wholly obffv-
ious of the fields Of waving corn that
should yield up their succulence to the
corn knife to tide over the shortage OF
grass. Shelteriess and fairly feedess,
these valuable animals are allowed to
shift for themselves, and when they
run down to a condition in which their
former owners would scarcely recog-
nize them there is the conclusion that
! "tlne stock don't pay; 1t is too tender"
Between the man who pampers and
the man who starves hundreds of valu-
able beasts are yearly ruined. The ped
igreed animal is just like the common
kind only improved in form, finish, d.
gestive capacity and fattening ability.
1t will not live on less feed than the
scrub. 1t was bred to make more meat
on less food. There is no more reassn
for overfeeding than for underfeedlng.
There is no necessity for fancy builH-
ings and an expensive equipment. A
box stall.or two for cows about to calve
and some ground feed for the calves
and younger animals should be among
the provisions made. as especial atten-
tion ought to be given to the younger

be bestowed on pedigreed cattle at very
little expense.
The man who can lay by blue grass
pasture for winter feeding need not
trouble his head If he has cut up his
corn and has good barns or even sheda
open to the south for protection from
winds and storms. The man who has
not the advantage of blue grass for
winter feeding must give q little moro

Supposed Wife Murderer in
Jail at Topeka
MOB WANTS HIN At HOLTON
He Claims that his Wife
Committed Suicide
Some Peculiar Features About the
Case-Klusmire Claims the
Children Hated her

HolCon, Kas., June 3.-The people
of Holton have been anxiously await
ing Klusmire's return this morning,
but the man charged with wife mutGer
is safely lodged in the Topeka jail.
1t is not probable the officers will
bring him to Holton for some days
yet. There is no apparent danger to-
day, but the feeling is intense. Klus-
mre's story that his wife hanged her
self in the barn is without foundation.
There were no marks of a rope about
the neck. 1t was established at the
coroner's inquest that Mrs. Klusmire
came to her death from a blow. The
feeling here has been itensfied by the
statement from the physicians who ex-
amined the body that Mrs. Klusmire,
in two months, would have become u
mother. The prisoners brother and
two other citizens went to Topeka this
morning TO try to get from him a con-
fession.
Topeka, June 3.-William Klusmire,
the accused wife murderer of Holton,
is lodged in the county Jail. He is
held here awaiting the wishes of the
Jackson county authorities Klus-
mire stoutly insists that his wife com
mitted suicide. He says in explana-
tion of the marks and the bruises on
her head and breast that these were
received as he carried her out of the
barn and into the field. He says the
limp body in his arms struck against
tho studdings in the barn entry AMI
that 10y the grave he slipped and fell
down with her. Klusmire passed
bad night in Jail, getting but little
sleep. When he did close his eyes he
had dreams and visions. He said his
children came around him crying.
He could not eat breakfast this morn
ing. His children are the apple OF his
eye and he seems to care more for the
disgrace that has come to his children
than for the charges that he has to
face. His face lighted up when they
were spoken of. "The children hated
her. She was mean to them. She
hated Them" Then he drifted of to
tell of his wife's traits. He gave her
an ugly character. Klusmire said his
wife did not carry cent of insurance
on her life.

NO PARDON FOR COLLINS
Governor Stanley Will not Show Any
Clemenry.

Topeka, June 4.--Recent movements
of John Henry Collins attorneys in
dicate that an application is to be
made before long to secure condi-
tional pardon or parole for him. He
has now been in the penitentiary over
two years and his conduct has been
exemplary. At first it was intended to
apply for a new trial on writ of
corum nobis in the supreme court, but
writs of that character in other cases
had been turned down SO regularly
that Collins attorneys gave up that
idea. The only way to secure his free
dom is through the pardon route,
Governor Stanley stated today that
he had not been sounded on the par
don proposition, and didn't know
whether an application was to be made
or not.
"What if an application is made?"
he was asked.
"Well, Collins hasn't served out
half his term yet, )" replied the COVER
nor. That is one of the conditions
usually exact"
"But there is no way to compute
that, was suggested.
"Oh yes there is, with reasonable
accuracy" replied the governor.
collins is a hang man which in this
state means Imprisonment for life. He
is still young man. The mortuary
tables used by insurance concerns can
be used to compute his probable length
of life.
Then Collins doesn't stand much
of show of getting pardon from
you?"
"Well, the jury said Collins was
guilty of most curel and heartless
murder" responded the governor.
1.-TWO or three years in the peniten-
tiary is not much punishment for such
Il crime. Collins might make a good
citizen if released In fact. | believe
he would. But the crime he committed
was too dark to permit executive
clemency at this time"

Concerning Calf CastratIon.

In my judgment no calf should be
castrated under months of age, and
where they are not more than usually
vigorous and growthy l would allow
them to run the first winter and cas-
trate them about the time they start on
grass in the spring, writes Kansas
grower to The Breeders Gazette. How
ever, this extreme age of castration
would not be advisable If dehorning is
not to be practiced. do not advocate
this method on the theory that 1t would
be less painful or dangerous to the calf,
for the reverse is true, but on the theo-
ry that the calf acquires a more vigor-
Gus and robust constitution, grows a
shorter leg, shorter neck, a stronger
jaw, is capable Of crushing corn better
and is in every way nearer the form Of
an ideal feeding steer
1 would not cut the end from the
scrotum, but split the end of each pock-
ct separately; also split the striffen and
take each testis out clean with cord,
While this operation is in nowise dan
gerous, 1t SHOULD be done with care and
cleanliness.

ONE MAN SWEPT OVERHEARD
Was Finally Rescued by his
Mates Unharmed

Newport, r. l., June 4.-The cup
defender Constitution was dismasted
while on her trial spin this afternoon.
The accident happened while the
yacht was off Brenton's reef lightship,
about three miles out from Narragan-
sett pier, about 2:l5 O'Clock.
TO all appearances the Constitution
is badly crippled. From the shore
the mainmast appeared to have broken
about half way up. The boom swung
to the leeside and the mainsail and
rigging was carried overload.
just what caused the accident was
not apparent from the shore. 1t is be-
lieved none of the rigging was lost.
The collapse of the Constitution $
mast was similar to the accident which
befell the Columbia two years ago,
not far from the same locality as that
of today.
No one was hurt in the accident on
the Constitution. One of the mates
was swept overheard. He was rescued
and suffered no harm. 1t is believed
that the body of the yacht escaped in
jury
The accident at first caused con-
sternation among yachting men here,
as it was thought serious delay might
result. When it became known that
the loss of the. mast was the most
serious damage the opinion was gen.
orally expressed that in spite of the
trouble the Constitution would be
ready for the races with the Columbia;
scheduled to take place here June Is
and II. The belief was expressed by
yachtmen that the damage could be re-
paired within ten days or two weeks.

CAN T REVOKE THEM
Saloon License Cannot Be Taken

Kansas City, June Al. Your

"a of article II of the charter; that is
to say, where the dramshop keeper

III. The mere sale OF liquor at q
dramshop on Sunday or keeping the
shop open on that dav and nothing
more does not make a house dis
orderly one.
This is the conclusion reached. by
Judge F. M. Black on the police
boards power to revoke the licenses
of saloons for keeping open on Sun
day. After discussing all phases of
the question he sums up his conclus-
ions in the three paragraphs given
above.
Judge Black refers to the law which
provides that keeping saloon open
on Sunday shall work forfeiture of
license, but says the conviction is a
judicial act and the police board has
no judicial powers.

MAXlMlTE Is DREADFUL
United States Has Adopted the Most
Terrible Explosive Known.

New York, June 3.-The Press says:
Maximite, the new explosive invented
by Hudson Maxim, has been adopted
by this country after series of sue
cessful tests at the Sandy Hook prov
ing grounds The secret of the ex-
plosive has been sold to the govern
ment by the inventor, and the explo-
sive, it is thought, may revolutionize
warfare. 1t is said to be more deadly
in its character than lyddite, yet so
safely can it be handled that the dan
ger attaching to its use is less than
that incurrediin transporting ordinary
black powder. The tests indicate that
the explosive will pierce 12-inch
Harveyized nickle steel armor and,
having passed through it, will explode
on the other side with sufficient power
to destroy everything with which it
comes in contact. Never before has a
plate of this strength and thickness
been pierced.

GOOD RAINS MONDAY
The General DrOuth Broken all over
the State

Topeka, June 3.-The dry spell in
Kansas was broken tonight by good
rains which we're quite general over
the central and northern parts of the
state. Corn, wheat and pastures
we're beginning to suffer, and the rain
will be Of great benefit. The Rock Is
land general offices report their wires
down west of Belleville and that o.
heavy rain and wind storm prevailed
west of that point. What damage, If
any, was done cannot be learned to-
night, owing to the Interruptions to
telegraph service. A very heavy rain
in Saline county was followed by what
is thought to have been destructive
hail storm.
At Topeka, heavy rain COM
menced falling at 11:3O p. M, with
indications for a steady rain. Rain
is reported in Reno county also.
Salina, Kas., June ga severe
rain and hail storm visited Saline
county tonight. The rain will be of
immense benefit to wheat, but the hail
undoubtedly did some damage. The
storm was one of the worst that has
visited Saline for some time. Saline
county had bright prospects for one
of the biggest wheat crops in its his
tory, and news as to the damage done
by to-night's storm is anxiously
awaited here.
Marysville, Kas., June 3.-There
was a heavy downpour of rain to-
night. For four weeks this county
had received no moisture except in
small localities. Crops were suffer
ing, wheat each day showing the effect
of the lack of rain. Tonight at o
O'Clock rain began falling and in an
hour and half an inch of:water had
fallen. At midnight it is still raining
but more gently. There is every in
dication that the rain is general.
This insures n yield of twenty bushels
of wheat per acre in this county.

experienced breeder of black pigs in
South Australia was writing to me
asking me to ship to him and his sons
a number of large white pigs, since he
had proved the Yorkshlres to be bet
ter in form, in quality Of meat and in
prollficacy than the Berkshires and
Poland-Chinas which he had bred and
successfully exhibited for many years
and the large blacks which were i'm
ported last year. lie then proceeds:
"The great outcry against white pigs
here is that they will blister with our
hot sun, but these Yorkshires we have
been keeping for some years have
stood the sun as well as the Berkshires
and the Poland-ChinGs. We have also
been mating n large number of Berk-
shire sows with the Yorkshire boars
and in all cases have had perfectly
white pigs, which, as you will see by
some correspondence we are mailing
caused quite a sensation at our last
show"
From newspaper comprising letters
which appeared in The Austria lasian |
gathered that great surprise was ex-
pressed at the whole of the cross York
shire and Berkshire pigs being perfect
ly white and their evident superiority
in thrift and growth over the pure bred
Berkshires and Poland-Chinas.
From the above 1t would appear as
though the same parrot cry as to white
pigs not standing the sun as we'll as
the black pigs was to be found in Aus
tralia and has been also proved as con-
cluslvely to be without foundation as

SILAGE FOR HORSES.
Not So Good For Them as For the
other Farm Animals.

other Farm Animals.
Ensllage has long since passed the
experimental stage. says @. d. Smead
in The National Stockman. AS horse
food 1t is not as good as for other ami
mails, neither are green corn and corn
stalks food that all horses can eat
largely without being made sick. But
fed in small quantities to 40 out of 30
horses once or twice daily they do
well upon it with other food of u dry
nature.
Good silage is corn cut in a glazed
state and well kept in a silo. The fer
mentation that 1t undergoes in the silo
is practically the same that dry food
undergoes after entering the stomach
Of an animal. The silage that some call
sauerlraut is simply food so far di-
gested. This is good silage am speak
ing Of.
Poor silage is poor food when 1t is
moldy or vinegary in its nature. Then
1t Is just like other moldy or sour food
and will If largely fed produce similar
results. There are n few cases on rec
ord where silage was fermented to the
extent of making almost corn whisky

become poisoned the same as they
would had they been poisoned upon al

Many experienced and successful
sheep owners declare that the wool
alone will pay for the keep of the
sheep and that money derived from
the sale of lambs and mutton should
be clear gain. Upon such basis there
would seem to be little doubt that the
profit from them must be greater than
from any other class of stock.
