MEXICANS ON THE RANCH.
They Are Great Eaters But Are None
TOO spry When IL Comes
to Work.

Very many Mexicans will only go to
work when absolutely driven to II by
sheer gnawing hunger. Anyone who
has been round sheep camps in the
west knows what an inconceivable
amount of GRUB a Mexican herder
will put away in the first Jew days
of his hiring out. He is probably
making up for the months of semi'
starvation. If, as l say, some one of
them takes job herding and is of
in camp by himself, he sends o let
ter TO the mail by the foreman or
camp mover. They cannot in charity
or reason prevent man from writ
ing to his wife or anyone else he
chooses, but before long the chances
are that some friend of his will be
"flling up" on the boss grub, and do
ing nothing for it but keeping the
herder from his work. Two Mexicans
together are like two boys-only half
a single one, says Longman's Maga-
zine. They chatter and play monte,
and neglect their work. By them
selves they make the best herders,

A POOR WHEAT OUTLOOK
The Dry Weather Has Caused Much
Damage in Oklahoma

Guthrie, Ok, Jan. 10.-Long con-
tinued dry weather hasls lscaused much
damage to the Oklahoma wheat. scrop.
There has been scarcely any rainfall
since last June, and none.Sssince that
time to saturated the ground thor
oughly. Farmers who have made
close and frequent examinations Of
the soil say that the moisture sextends
TO depth of scarcely lmore than five
or six inches, and that thessubsoil is
dry as powder. Should dry weather
continue much longer this surface
moisture will be exhausted. A SINH
lar condition prevailed at this time a
year ago. Heavy rains within the
next ten days, with recurrence at
proper intervals, might result in a
fair crop next summer. The cold
weather in December caused less In
jury than drought. The manager OF
ranch lOl, in the Ponca Indian reser-
vation, where wheat is grown on a
larger scale than any other place in
y Oklahoma, has gloomy view of the
outlook.

not of their own choosing; that the in-
C dents of "Uncle Toms Cabin" are
nottypical of slave life in the South,
but of isolated cases. They further
say the production and it's advertise
ments with bloodhounds and pictures
of an old negro in chains and slave
owner with whip in hand, give false
idea of history of the times to the chill
dren of the city and show disrespect
To the Southerners. The petition is
signed by four women of the chapter

delegates in Holland evidently antici-
pate that somelkind of peace overtures
will shortly be made, though they are
reticent as to.their reasonsfor this be-
lief. Theysmaintain, however, that

1t is privately admitted that the dele

"any fair offer of terms" " II the ne

to obtain modus vivendi which will
reconcile Mr.. Kruger's desire for com
plete independence with the terms of
fered by Great Britain.
London, Jan. 10.-A report, which
came fromwell informed quarters, was
current here today that the Beers had
made overtureG to the British govern
ment to the effect that they were pre-
pared to lay down their arms, provided
they were not exiled. Next Wednes-
day is the Boer feast day, and it is
said the surrender of the Beers would
probably occur then. The war office
officials asserted that no proposals to
surrender had been received from the

Topeka. Jan. 1.-THE supreme court
today decided the Topeka mayoralty

Democrat, ousting j. w. Hughes the
present incumbent who is a Republi-

Nation crusade.
The contest was based on the valid

the Democratic and Populist parties.
Therefore they were cast out as illegal
Chief Justice Doster and associate
Justices Smith, Ellis and Pollock held
that these ballots must be counted for
Parker, which gives him seventeen
majority. Justices johnson, Green
and Cunningham dissented, holding
that the voter should know enough to
vote correctly and that prima facie
evidence of his intention did not rem
der an Incorrect ballot legal. Parker
assumes his duties Monday. 1t is
thought one of his first lines of work
will be to replace with Democrats all
the Hughes Republican appointees TO

appeal from the present decision.

a time in the History of Kansas Dem

wisely it will be at this meeting"
1t is atthis meeting that formal steps
will be taken to merge the Populist
party into the Democratic party. The
mergerlwill, at the meeting fix place
and date for the state convention and
also agree upon a basis of representa-
tion. In the fixing of this basisis where
the Democrats will get in their fine
Italian hand. They will increase the
representation somewhat, but will
keep it within certain bounds and
throw sufficient safeguards around it
to enable the Democrats to still con-
troll the convention. The Populists
will be permitted to vote the Demo
cratic ticket and that's about all.

TIMBER FOR GOVERNOR
Bailey, Cole, Richter, Smith, Miller
and Funston are Talked of for
the Gubernatorial Chair

Topeka, Jan. 1l.-W. j. Bailey
came to town last night and remained
until this afternoon. Bailey shows
signs Of getting into the race for gov
ernor, and the Leland men are giving
him all the encouragement. His an
nouncement is looked for by the wise
men January 30 when the politicians
will be here TO attend the Kansas Day
banquet.
George E. Cole has not authorized
anybody to speak for him, but his
friends have been working for him
without protest from him, and that
amounts to his consent.
Cole received aid today from an un-
expected source. 1t has been assumed
that A. w. Smith would receive the
support of the members of the state
board of agriculture, but j. H.
Churchill of Ford county, vice presi'
dent of the board, in public inter-
view says:
81 do not know that it is certain Mr..
Cole will be candidate for governor,
but if he does come out for il | think
his chances are good. In the western
part Of the state the business admins
stration of Mr.. Cole as auditor of state
stands high. l believe if Mr. Cole is
nominated he would be elected by the
greatest majority any governor of
Kansas has received since the days of
the old S0,0 900 majority"
H. B. Miller is another candidate
for governor who was pushing his
boom in Topeka this week. The old
soldiers are looking for candidate
and he offers himself. Mr.. Miller was
young when the war started, but he
was old enough in 1864 to get in when
the Second Ohio cavalry veteranized
and stayed ia TO the ena. Until Mr.
Miller made this statement, II E..
Richter, who marched with sherman
to the sea, was believed 20 be the old
soldier candidate. Following upon
Miller's old soldier boom comes A.
w. Smiths candidacy, and so the old
soldiers will have choice Of their
comrades. While his rivals are be.
coming active and assertive, Richter
really has the best organization and
is giving his boom his personal atten'
tion. In addition to tho men named
above for governor, E. II. Funston,
the father of General Frederick Fun
ston. has been talked of this week
Mr.. Funston is an old war horse il
Kansas politics and, although he has
dropped out of sight since his fight IL
1898, he is full of vigor, and cherishet
an ambition to be governor.
