A wOMAN's DUTIES.

The duties of farmers wives, while
not so numerous as in former days,
are yet too numerous. She cooks
for a large family and during busy
seasons for extra farm-hands; she
has large house to sweep, dust and
keep in order; she has large wash
ings to do weekly; she has to mend
and sew; care for the chickens, gar
den and often lawn and the yard !;
and last, but not least, bring into the
world a number of children.
The woman that is a help on the
farm, never neglects her children,
and is intelligent enough to show
them the beauties of nature about
them. She does not care for a kim
dergarten, which takes her child
away from home and enables her to
shirk the greatest responsibility of a
mother-that of directing the life of
her child when it is most susceptible
to impressions. This kind of woman
needs no kindergarten, for she can
direct the mind of her child and con-
duct mutter- -garten intelligently.
She entangles her life with that of
her child by ministering to its physi-
cal and mental wants. Her girl is
taught to perform every household
duty of the farm, to care for the
house from garnet to kitchen, to eel
lar. The girl needs this training, not
so much that she will ever have to
perform these tasks, but in order to
give her that strength and confidence
which comes from the consciousness
of power to do.
When the burdens of a good wife
become too great, her husband may
be depended upon to work some
measures of relief. Man has always
risen to woman's level, and is natur-
ally lover of fair play.
The right sort of woman is al
ways found in her place and makes
reasonable demands upon her hus-
band. She is industrious, kind and
considerate of all her acquaintance ;
her ambitions are those of her hus-
band-their lives are merged into one,
and mutual love and confidence ex-
lists in the most substantial sense.
They both toll long hours, but that
brings happiness.-W E. Nixon, in
st. Louis GLo6e-DemOcYat.

he WAS EASILY TRAPPED.

A lawyer was questioning wit
ness about some chickens that had dis
appeared from the back yard of an
old negro, who accused several of his
neighbors of stealing them. The ex-
animation of one witness is reported
by the Atlanta journal as follows
"Were the chickens in the yard ?"
"Yassar."
"Did you see them in the yard?"
"Yassar."
"Were they in a coop?"
"No, sar."
"Were they at larger"

want only one mother-in-law."

GREAT DAY FOR SCHLEY.
Triumphal Journey of the Admiral
Through East Tennessee.

Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. 5.-The journey
of Admiral and Mrs. Schley through
east Tennessee, from Chattanooga to
Knoxville was one that they can never
forget. AT Cleveland, Athens. Sweet
Water, Loudon and LenOr City and
some places along the route the entire
population of the towns turned out,
and the greetings were enthusiastic. AT
all the points Admiral and Mrs. Schley
were called to the rear platform of their
private car, where the admiral shook
hands with the people, while Mrs.
Schley was virtually buried in floral
offerings from school children. Dark
ness did not diminish the crowds, and
immense bonfires cleaned at many
places.
Admiral Schley's entrance into Knox
vile at o'clock last night was made
amid perfect din of steam whistles
and bells. Packed around the Union
station were fully 5000 people. who
arrived. The reception committee which
had met the party at Chattanooga
turned it's guests over to the local en-
tertainment committee of 200 and after
a brief reception carriages were taken
to the Hotel Imperial The admiral s
carria ge was preceded by the Sixth reg
iment band and a battalion of the Sixth
regiment, and the march to the hotel
was through thrOngS of people and red
fire, although the wind was biting cold.
Once inside the hotel, the throng in the
street could not be satisfied until the
admiral and Mrs. Schley appeared on
the balcony. The admiral made brief
speech of thanks for the warm welcome
and promised to shake hands with
every one later. After dinner had been
served short reception was held

More Paines Celery Compound has
been sold in the city of Omaha for the
last month than all other medicines put
together
So writes the leading wholesale drug
house of the West to the proprietors Of
Paine's Celery Compound.
In October last a card from Hon.
Frank E. Moores, the mayor of that
city, was published in the Omaha Bee,
in which he told of the great benefit
Paine's Celery Compound had been to
him. 81 regard it, he said, 1.-The most
wonderful remedy have ever tried for
building up the system when once run
down"
On account of Mayor Moores' great
popularity and well knewn standing,
the publication of his card in the Bee
instigated the Omaha News, the Bees
principal competitor, to make a canvass
of druggists and physicians in that city
to find out their experience with this
and other remedies. A few days later
the News published almost a page of
the opinions it had gathered. The ply
sicians and druggists interviewed We're
absolutely unanimous in saying that, of
all prepared remedies, the one that had

Steers Are Scarce in Western
Part of the State.
Canvass of the Situation Shows
More Buyers Than Cattle.
AN UNUSUAL DEMAND.
Cattlemen Are Securing the
Short Grass Country.
Prospects That Many Will Have
to Invade Colorado.

Hutchinson, Feb. 5.-The News says:
A local stockman said today: IF Icould
find as many cattle for sale as 1 can
find buyers I could do big business in
commissions" There seems to be a
dearth of cattle and an unusual de-
mand for them. A Missouri man who
bought a lot of cattle here few weeks
ago has wired to dealers here that he
can furnish buyers for all the cattle
that can be found in this part Of KAN
sas. The fact is that there is a general
demand and the dealers think that it
will increase.
Henry Stevens of Peabody bought
twenty-six car loads of cattle last Oc-
tober through S. s. Graybill of Hutchin-
son. The cattle We're at Garden City
and were sold to be delivered on Feb
ruary l. Mr.. Stevens has just moved the
stock to Peabody, and received an offer
of So, 900 margin on them before taking
them from Garden City.
That amount would have made him a
nice profit but as he had the feed to
carry them through on Mr.. Stevens con-
cluded that he could do even better by
holding them
John Landergin, a we'll known stock
man of Eureka, was here today and is
on a search for 1000 head of steers. Mr..
Landergin has lot of 800 about ready
for market and wants to replace them.
He will leave with s. s. Graybill to-
night for Garden City and perhaps they
will go even into Colorado on the hunt
for cattle.
Sullivan & Mills, who have fed 1850
western steers at the Hutchinson stock
yards, will ship another lot perhaps
some time this week. They have mar
keted about 400 head SO far.

KANSAS BRIEF
Filed i'm Supreme Court in Suit
Against Colorado.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The brief of the
state of Kansas in the proceedings of
that state against the state of Colorado
to restrain the latter in the use of water
from the Arkansas river has been filed
in the United States supreme court. The
document covers $50 printed pages 1t
is claimed that the diversion of the wa
tiers of the Arkansas affects 100000
acres of land in Kansas, worth S5O,OOO,-
0O0 and that much of this land is owned
by the state itself. 1t is set forth that
it would be impracticable for individual
owners to institute proceedings ana II
is contended that Colorado, not only as
a party in interest, but as the party
responsible for the creation of all ditch
corporations, is the proper respondent,
1t is asserted that there is no desire to
injure or harass the state of Colorado
by the proceeding, but that the only
purpose of the suit is to protect the in
terests of Kansas. On this point the
brief says in part:
The Arkansas river is in its natural
condition a generous stream and 1nso-
far as its waters can be used in Colo
RADIO for irrigation purposes and then
returned to the bed of the river. and
insofar as the waters can be diminished
in seasons of flood and at other times
without injury to ourselves, their TAX
ing will not be resisted by us. We wish
it understood that we do not ask or ex-
pect the destruction of the irrigation
used by persons and corporations In
Colorado Doubtless, some restrictions
should be placed upon the use of the
waters, but it is sought by this proceed
ing merely to prevent the state of Colo
RADIO from using it's vast power and
wealth in diverting these waters, and to
stop it from granting authority to 9TH
ers to do so.'

OUT WITH FACTIONS.
Wellington News Makes Some PERTH
nent Observations.

Here is a view of present conditions
in the Republican party in Kansas,
presented by the Wellington News,
which will probably bring forth a great
deal of applause from many sources
The News says;
There are several scrappers in the
republican party In this state that need
to be turned down. There are several
factions that must be abolished.
There is too much of the Cy Leland
crowd, the Burton push, the Topeka
gang, Longs machine, the Baker fac
ton, the boss busters, and SO forth. A
few years ago Mr.. Leland had things
about as he pleased and no man could
be appointed to office unless he was
worshipper at that shrine. Then the
outs took up Burton and smashed Lee
land and his candidate for senator.
Burton got in, and now it is just as bad
or worse than when Leland was in the
spend his days and nights trying to
concoct plans whereby the Burton
crowd may have complete control of
the party in the state, is entirely with
-out consideration either for the pur-
pose of filling an office or giving adj
vice as to the welfare of the party
When the central committee met last
week several men from the northeast
part of the state, who would have voted
to have the convention in Topeka If
they had consulted the interests of the
people they represented, voted for
Wichita simply and solely because To-
While the man from a county adJoin-
ing Sedgwick voted for Topeka because
he is a Burton man and the Leland
fellows were for Wichita. OF course the
News wanted Wichita to have the con :
vention because it is so close to us, but
we rise to inquire when the factions are
going to stand aside for a few brief
moments and let the Republican party
have a chance They slapped Topeka
all right, but if they get Mr.. Bailey
nominated they will be mighty anxious
to get the Republican votes of Shaw
nee county which have been our saliva
ton in several campaigns. If the Bur
ton crowd wins every Leland man Will
he expected to hustle for the ticket only
to be treated as worse than a Pop
after the fight is Won There is no
more bitterness between opposing par
ties in the hottest campaign than there
is right now between the Burton and
Leland factions of our party. 1t does
US no good. The question as to who
will I'LL an office with credit to his coun-
try and his party gets but little con-
sheraton while the faction man be
longs to is everything, 1t is our humble
judgment that when a man gets in
Office he should spend his time trying
to fill that Office. And we believe fur
Their than when an office-holder tries
to use the power of his office to con-
troll the conventions of his party he
should be promptly notified to mind his
own business. AT this time the Repub-
lican party is about the only. party
worth mentioning, but if the Kansas
branch of the party does not take time
| to spank some of her boisterous chill
| dren, one of these days we will get a
good, sound thrashing that will teach
| us a little sense"
