You can put il down for a fact said
MIR. Rankin, that when corn is selling
for 90 cents bushel at the farm. beef and
all sorts OF meat are going ur. The corn
crop last year was a failure in southern
Illinois. southern Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska,
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, and
there wasn't any thing to keep the cattle
when the grass season ended
What the farmers did was TO keep their
cattle until tho grass season came to an
enu' and then sell 'em when the sap was
still In EN-. More than half the cattle in
Kansas were sold at the end Of the summer
season. Most OF what were kept were for
Dreedlng purposes, or else were so kept
that they are in no condition for the market

HERE'S A QUEER THING
The Morning Hour in the Senate Lasts
for Two Hours.

The morning hour Is one OF the oueer
things Of the United States Senate. In the
first place the morning hour" Is two hours
long. though 1T may be completed in ten
or fifteen minutes. In the second place 1t
never occurs In the morning but begins at
IL o'clock noon except on the rare occa-
sions when the Senate meets at 10 or II
o'clock. Senator Hoar Of Massa chusetts is
responsible for the elongation of the morn
ing hour so as to make it cover 100 min
utes. Prior to fourteen years ago the
morning hour" while existing in the aft
ernoon. was but an hour in length. but a
resolution submitted by Mr. Hoar was
adopted August 10, 1888, and that provided
that the 'morning hour should be two
hours in length or that it should end at .
O'Clock. This resolution provided that
after today, unless otherwise ordered the
morning hour shall terminate at the expi-
ration of two hours after the meeting of
the Senate" The morning hour Is devoted
to the presentation OF petitions, the intro
duction of bills. reports OF committees, ETC.,
and Is the time when all sorts Of little mat
ter OF that kind are attended to. At 2
o'clock the presiding officer lays before the
Senate the bill on the calendar, which is
set aside as having precedence over other
measures, and that is generally the time
for long speeches of all kinds unless unani-
nous consent, is secured to consider pen
sion bills for a0specifled time or unob1ected
bills on the calendar

1t was stated to the Postmaster General
after this order had been transmitted to
the watchman, that~that functionary OBJ
jected that If he should shoot gun off
in the tower. he would lay himself liable
to arrest by the city authorities. 1t was
at this point that the police department
was applied to. The case of the hawk was
laid before the chief. and after due con-
sideration he issued a permit that the
hawk might be shot without offense to the
law.
The hawk has not yet been shot, and the
last time the tower was visited indica-

Occasionally the hawk may be seen cir
