of bullet holes Passing through this
temple and up a half dozen stone steps,
we found ourselves in a large court IN
the center Of which was a round mound
perhaps II feet high. This was the gre Ne
of the great Keija. Just in front OF the
grave was q large stone turtle, a mark
OF royalty. Standing on the turtles back
was q tablet, telling who was buried
there. Just in front of this was a large
smooth sacrificing table. At either side
of the mound and also at either side in
'front.', were large stone carved animals
The court was beautiful with green
grass and tropical foliage. It is kept
with great care. It was interesting TO
see the honor paid to the departed and
the customs of sacrifice, etc A sreae
many people were here on the day of our
visit, for, as I have already said, it was
the week of special ancestral worship
and all the heather Coreans were out
seeking the spirits Of their ancestors and
cleaning up the graves and Offering sac

our clothes and displaying marked cur

thought our different styles of hats
must signify different ranks as theirs do.
and they seemed puzzled when informed
that such was not the case. You can
tell what Corean is by his hat wheth-

butcher, a mourner or coolie, who only

FIGHT THE TRUST.
Prominent Grain Growers Or
ganizing For Battle.

The movement to organize the wheat
growers Of the state into an association
TO fight the grain trust, preliminary in
formation of which was published In the
State Journal early last week, is pro-
crossing. The combination intended diff
fers widely from Walter Aliens Far
ners' Federation, the proposition being
to place their own agent at shipping
centers to act as commission merchant
in handling their grain.
The leaders in the movement say to
those who remember the days of the
Farmers alliance that no politics is in
tended to attach to this organization,
but that all they mean is strictly BUSH
ness.
A call has been issued for a state meet
ing OF wheat growers to be held In Sa-
Ina, in May The call is as follows;
To the Grain Growers Of the State Of
Kansas, Greeting:
All the leading industries Of this state
are organized, but our own. We are, by
reason Of our chaotic condition, at the
mercy of the interruptions, and an easy
prey to the organized greed known as
the Grain Trust Not only are the prices
at which we must part with our products
fixed but the dealers to whom we shall
sell are clearly Indicated We prepare
the soil, SOW the seed, and gather in
the sheaves; but cannot market the
same without first gaining the consent
of a band Of organized highWaymen,
known as regular Dealers whose OBJ
ject is to destroy competition and COM
pei us to do business with them on their
own terms Shall we submit to the
methods of these brigands2 No, never,
rather let US organize, not for the pur-
pose Of robbery, but for protection
Let the organization be thorough. begin
at once in every school district, and
when fully perfected cali a mass meet
ing at the various county seats. and
there select a delegate to represent you
at state meeting to be held at Salina,
on Thursday, the 18th day of May, 1901;
and then and there devise ways and
means which will enable US to market
the products of our 1abors without the
aid or assistance of the so-ealled grain
combine. which is now robbing US at ev-
cry turn in the road and which abso-
lutely refuses to handle any grain which
does not bear the ear marks OF the
trust.
Friends and neighbors. it's up to you.
win you tamely submit, or manfully
fight for your rights? If you choose the
latter send your delegates to SaIina as
above Indicated All strictly co-opera-
tive elevator companies and grain ship
ping associations. not members of the
Trust. are cordially invited to cooperate

I'VE have been keeping open house to
