THE PASSING OF THE SCRUB AMI
NAL

It seems to us that the beef trust is
getting an undue amount of ':cussing' -
for when we'll finished, dry fed beeves
are bringing on the Chicago market
$S.75 per hundred weight, cheap beef
from these animals is out Of the Ques
ton. The Ranch News of Denver has
an article by F. p. Johnson in which he
says: The Western farmer and stock
man is not content to work for nothing.
He does not have to, and unless he re-
ceives remunerative prices for his pro-
duct he will promptly cease to manu-
facture and turn his attention to a more
profitable employment. This is another
reason why the public may expect to
see no more cheap meat in the imme-
diate future. 1t has been demonstrated
that finished beef cattle can be made
for to cents per pound, live weight.
The modern beef animal must come from
good blood, and be finished into good
beef as the world knows The day Of the
scrub animal that grows itself on the
free public grass has passed forever,
and the beef animal of today is provided
with feed and water and is expected to
Day for his board. Just at present he is
having handsomely, and the indications
are that he will continue to do So Now
if this is the condition in the great range
country how much more is it true With
the Eastern farmer. When the Western
ranches can no longer afford to furnish
cheap beef, there is a Stln greater
chance for the feeders of the East, ana
the growing of beef, baby beef will for
a long time to come be one OF the most
profitable enterprises in which the East
ern farmer can engage. The Western
stOckmen have faith to believe that the
nrices for finished beef will not be less
than Sc 80 to 81 next spring in Chicago,
and of course the prices eastward VIII
be governed largely by the prices there
and will be higher. The Eastern FARMER
who grows beef and finishes it we'll at
an early age on feed grown on ms farm
is the man who is going to rake IN the
money of the future, and it is the legume
farmer OF the East who is going to nave
the best material for the feeding. Inc
West has alfalfa, while the East mas
clover and COW peas and While not dong
things on the same broad scale as the
farmer of the plains, the man IN the
South who grows and feeds the COW pea
has not only as good or better feed than
the Western man, but the aoNah'ase -
a higher market If the day of the scrup
is over in the West how much more IS
if true with the Eastern farmer VINO
nust make his beef from anlmals lha'
mature early if it is made at a proHt.
If will be a good day for the FARMERS
all over the land when the scrup no ION

Renova'ing Dress Goods.

This is the season when many old
garments Will have to be renovated as
very few can afford to cast their last
seasons dresses aside. because they are
soiled or old style, but with small effort
clever woman can give a half-worn
waist or skirt a reiuvenated air by
changing the shape or style of trim
ming. In the present fashion of trimmed
waists and skirts, a little ingenuity and
a little time Will work wonders in MAX
ing pretty new garments from old ones
or in making them from old material
The average black skirt Of WOODEN ma
terlal comes ii for renovation oftener
than any other and nothing repays the
time spent upon it better When they
begin to look gray or rusty, they may
be frightened by rubbing on the right
side with equal parts of alchohol and
warm water. and ironing on the wrong
side while they are still damp. Black
alpaca be made to look like new
by sponging the right side with strong
coffee and pressing the wrong side
with a hot iron. Nearly all kinds of
Woolen goods will wash we'll and soap
bark is excellent for washing black goods
and delicate cOlored fabrics, and wash
ing may be all that is necessary to make
them look fresh and new All spots can
be removed from the cloth. by rubbing
with gasoline and the pieces should be
thoroughly cleaned before they are
put in the suds for washing. Black goods
that have become rusty cannot be fresh
ened by washing, but if the cloth is good
it is we'll worth recolcring and it can be
made q jet black by dipping in diamond
dye for wool and light cloth can be
cOlOred black or any of the rich dark
shades. When the skirt is worn around
the bottom the lining be pieced down
and covered with a bias fold but care
must be taken with these made over gar
ments to make them look fresh and new
and 4 great deal depends upon proper
pressing which should be thorough both
before and after making the garment.

GRIMES is SATISFIED.
Says Mr.. Kelly Has Been Completely
Exonerated.

State Treasurer Frank Grimes consid-
ers that Mr.. Kelly was completely vindi-
Gated by the investigation of the county
commissioners of Miami county Satur
day. Mr.. Kelly is still down at Paola,
but Mr.. Grimes has talked with him by
come of the investigation
1T was deliberate conspiracy on the
part of Mr. Kelly's enemies to ruin
him. said Mr.. Grimes today, but the
result has been his complete vindica
ton
Thomas accused Mr. Kelly of raising
j voucher OF Crane & Co. from S46-25 20
SI46.25. and a voucher in favor of the
Hamilton Printing company from SIG to
S66 and some cents. Mr. Crane made
sworn statement that he had q. bill both
for S46-25 and 500, and the items for
which these two bills were made were
shown. Mr.. Kelly only did what is done
in nearly every county clerks Office in
the state, he had one warrant drawn to
cover both vouchers, and Mr.. Crane
went on the stand down at PaoIa and
testified that he received both the 800
and the s4625.
When the county commissioners met
a week before Thomas and Greason
went before the board and asked for an
investigation. One of the members OF
the board said that Mr. Kelly had al
ready asked for an investigation, and
had to produce. These said Thomas
pulling some warrants out Of his pOck-
ct. Where did you get those2 demand
ed the county clerk who was present
They We're stolen out of my office. You
better give them back Thomas said IL
didn't make any difference where he got
them and he wouldn't give them back,
but the board made him give them up
The action of the board shows that
they had no confidence in the accuSa-
tions made by man who has been in
jaiI against a man of the integrity of
Tom Kelly It's an awful thing TO
charge an innocent man OF a thing like
that Mrs. Kelly has been down sick
with nervous prOstratiOn ever since the
charges were made, and she cannot un-
derstand how anybody could be so evil
minded as to accuse as good a man as
Tom Kelly, against whom there has
never been a word Of suspicion, of such
a thing as that.
As TO the Hamilton bill, the Hamil-
ton Printing company is a defunet in
stitution and Mr.. Kelly was unable to
find the books OF that company

this morning that out of over 900 votes
