No Use for Horse Jockeys.
r. s. Steinl1ircher, of Newton, has
been winning lot Of harness races
with his horse, Murray L. And,
while winning these races, he has
been astonishing the horsemen all
over the central Kansas circuit with
his ideas of handling a racer. He
drives his horse from town to town
hitched to an old buggy. When he
arrives at a race meet, he takes a
rope and pin out of the back of his
buggy and stakes the horse out TO
grass. He never "works out" the
horse on the track, and never puts
him to sulky until the race is
called. Then he drives out to the
/, stretch and waits for the bunch,
coming down for the word without
any jockeying or preliminaries. Mr..
Steinlircher has theory that all
the fuss made over race horses is OF
no use whatever.-Kansas City

The Topeka Mail and Breeze reg
listers complaint against the geogra-
ply supplied to the public schools.
In it Topeka is made city of only
$4,000: the great wheat-producing
section of Kansas is located in Kear-
ney county where, as a matter OF
fact, they do not raise enough wheat
on the average to fatten small flock
of blackbirds; the great smelters
are located at Argentine and wire
plant at Lawrence, whereas both
statements are false; the greatest
water power of Kansas is said to be
at Arkansas City, when as matter
of fact the mills there have to de-
pend on steam half the year because
there is not enough water coming
down the Arkansas river good share
of the time to turn tanning mill,
but the book says not word about
the really great water powers OF

POOR OLD ST. LOUIS.
Grand Jury Says Bribery and Corruption
Exists In City Affairs to an APP
pallIng Degree.

ST. Louis, April Most sensation
al charges are made by the February
grand jury which has been investigat-
ing bribery and official corruption in
the municipal assembly, in its final
report to the criminal court Satur-
day. The report declares that the
people of ST. Louis have but a vague
conception of the extent to which
corruption and venality have for the
past ten years existed among the
sworn officers and public servants. It
finds the true condition of affairs al
most too appalling for belief. The
persons against whom indictments
for bribe-giving and bribe-taking have
been returned are but a small per-
centage of those whom inquiry con-
vinces the jury deserve to wear the
garb of convicts. These indictments,
already made public, were returned
by the grand jury: Bribery, Robert
n. Snyder; attempted bribery, Ed
ward Butler, John H. Becker; per-
jury, George j. Kobusch.

THE STAND COLLAPSED.
twenty One Persons Killed and ESQ In

Glasgow, April THE casualty
lists of the Ibrox park disaster, when
a number of persons were killed or
injured by the collapsing of a specta-
tors stand during the international
football match Saturday between En-
gland and Scotland, have been com
pleted. They eclipse all the reports
and estimates of the casualties
current Saturday night. The disas-
ter has resulted in the death of 81
persons and the injury of $50.
The action of the authorities at
Ibrox park in averting a panic by
permitting the game to proceed,
while they encouraged the impress
sion of the crowd within the enclo-
cure that the accident was not so
direful is now generally commended.
The incongruity of the yells of ap-
plause mingling with the groans of
the struggling sufferers will never
be forgotten by those who witnessed
the scene at the rear OF the terrace.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.
American Farm Products Exported In 19O1
to the Value OF S952,OOO.OOO-Our Inn
ports Only $500, 100000.

Washington, April THE depart
ment of agriculture has issued a
statement of the foreign trade of the
United States in agricultural prod
ucts. Tt shows that during the fiscal
year 1901 foreign countries purchased
American farm products to the value
of 1852. 100000, representing the
largest agricultural exports in our
history. Compared with the record
for 1900 they show an increase of
over $1OO,O0O,O0O.
Our agricultural imports, on the
other hand, disclose a considerable
falling off when contrasted with the
trade of the year preceding. The
various products of agriculture re-
ceived from foreign sources during
1901 had an aggregate value of on1y
1892, 100000. or $28, OO0,O 900 less than
in 1900.
In comparison with the value OF
our agricultural imports our agricul-
tura1 exports show the exceptionally
large excess of $56O,OOO,OOO.
