Those F0xy Democrats.

In order to force the Populists to
let the Democrats name the state
ticket and give it the right of way,
the Democrats agreed to let the Pops
name the same ticket later and then
help it in its legal battle to "bust"
the antifusion law and get its ticket
on the official ballot. Now the Demo-
Gratis are quietly at work manufacture
ing sentiment among the Populists
not to bring any action to test the
law, and to let its ticket fall by the
wayside. The argument used by the
Democrats Is that it would be better
to make the anti.iusion law an issue
in the campaign instead OF in the
court. They say that the court would
no doubt uphold the law, and this
would take it out Of the campaign as
an issue. Keep the question out of
the courts and denounce it in the
cam paign is the advice the Democrats
are giving.

A CHASTITY FIND.
Four Dead Bodies, stripped and Mutilatsd,
Found at Prudence, Ok.-Searching
Parties Organized.

Enid, Ok, July Great excite
ment prevails at Prudence, 80 miles
southwest of here. The bodies of
woman and man and two children
were found in an old hut west of Pru.
dence, mutilated into unrecognizabla
shapes. They had been stripped of
all clothing, leaving no way Of identi-
fication, and had been dead several
days when found, being in state OF
putrefaction. 1t is supposed that
they were strangers travelling
through the country and had been
beset by robbers who murdered
them and took their wagon, team
and money and left them in the hut.
The CHASTITY find has created great
excitement throughout Oklahoma
and searching parties have been or
ganized to investigate the matter.
shsriffs' posses from Garfield, Woods,
Blaine and Kingfsher counties are
reported on the trail Of evidence that
will lend some solution to the mys-
terry. Prudence occupies a point
where the four counties named come
together.

said to us the other day: "You make
a mistake standing up for Burton in

sentiment is against him." Did you
ever stop to think that whole lot OF
good Kansas Republicans followed
popular sentiment" a few years ago
and became pops, and will everlsst'
ingly regret itP. "rruth is mighty and
will prevail" Burton is rightand we
propose to stand by the right in this
case regardless OF popular sentl.

ton attacked the president. We think
he stood up for the best interests OF
Kansas, and we are for the best in.

GUESTS OF TIE RoosEvELTs.


Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 9.-Montagu
White, who has been long in this
country, principally in New York and
Washington, as the representative
of the Boer cause, and William E.
Curtis, of Washington, were the
guests yesterday of the president
and Mrs. Roosevelt at luncheon. Mr..
White will sail for Europe to-day.
Only incidental reference was made
to the late Boer war, but in the con-
versation during and subsequent TO
luncheon the party discussed reci-
procity, particularly with regard to
Cuba. The president indicated that
be felt concessions were due to Cuba
from this country and expressed his
conviction that eventually not only
the people Of the United States, but
congress itself, would vindicate the
advocacy of Cuban reciprocity. He
believes that in some form reciprocal
relations between the United States
and Cuba will be established ct tie

THE STRIKE AT DENVER.
The Situation 10 the Local Union Pacific
Shops Critical snd Pinkerton Detect
Ives Put In Charge.

Denver, COL, July s.-The situa-
ton at the local Union Pacific shops
is more critical than at any time
since the strike was inaugurated. A
force of Pinkerton detectives was
put in charge of the shops and the
city has supplied four policemen for
protection. Trouble is not expected
from the strikers themselves, but
from sympathizers who work in the
80 or more contract shops of the
city. Since one of the workmen was
assaulted on Sunday night the crowd
that gathers at night has been con-
tinually on the increase and the steps
for protection have been taken as
precautionary measure.
The strikers now claim that they
have all the experienced machinists
out but three and that all Of the
boilermakers, blacksmiths and cop
persmiths have stopped work. The
strikers continue to patrol the
grounds outside Of the Pinkerton
lines,

THE COMING xANBuvsRs.


Washington, July s.-Up to this
time the war and navy department.
officials have considered but two toe
tors in the coming jelnt army aad
naval maneuvers on the Atlantic
coast In September-ths invading
and defending forces. Now, accord.
ing to the plans Of Secretary Of tAs
Navy Moody, there is to be . tkire
factor-the press Of the United
States. The object Of the maneuvers
is to simulate as closely as posi-
BILE conditions of actual warfare, and
the secretary believes that, as tho
press plays such an important part
in real war, it should be seriously
considered in connection with the
coming maneuvers. Therefore, hs
contemplates throwing the press cor
respondents of the country upon
their own resources, meanwhile hsv-
ing both invaders and defenders re-
gard the newsgathers as common
enemy" and endeavoring to mask
the movements of their forces Is
much as possible from the public.

To Sell or To Hold Wheat.

The farmer has constantly to deal
with uncertainties, and not the least
Of these is the future Of prices, says
the Marysville Democrat. Every
wheat grower asks himself, should
wheat be sold as soon as threshed, or
how long should it be heldP The re.
port OF the United States Industrial
Commission helps to answer this
question by giving the average price
for each month for fourteen years.
These are, beginning with the lowest:
September, 7S4S cents; July, 74.45;
August, 74.75; January, 1876; March,
February, 1911; December, 1882;
June 1888; April, 1927; November,
1855; October, rs 70, and May, H.12.
The list should be- carefully studied.
II one threshes in July will it pay to
hold until August for less than one
third Of cent a bushel, or 10 Septem.
Der at loss OF nearly cent? II one
has wheat in September it will pay to
consider il it should not be held until
October, in view Of the strong proba-
bility Of getting S.24 cents per bushel
more. Wheat held from May until
June will probably lose 1928 cents in
alue, Will it pay, in view Of shrink
age, risk, interest, etc., to hold from
July until the following May for 2.67
cents per bushelP A careful study Of
the.list will suggest many other in
teresting questions. Oicourse it will
not do to expect the several months
to stand in the same order every year,
or perhaps any year; nor will it be
fair to compare the low price Of one
month with the high price Of another.
The safest plan is to imagine that we
are just ordinary individuals, with
ordinary ability to forecast the mar
ket, and be fairly well satisfied II we
succeed In selling at an average price.

Burton Did Not Deceive.

The Herington Times says: "There
is some talk going the rounds about
Senator Burton promising one thing
in regard to the Abilene post
office and then doing another. We
had the pleasure Of reading a COM
munication from Senator Burton to
an old soldier in Abilene in regard to
that matter some time last spring,
long before the appointment was
made, and we can say without any
fear OF successful contradiction that
Mr.. Burton's position was out'spoken
in that matter and that he never
agreed to one thing and then failed to
make his promise good" That this
statement OF the Times is absolutely
correct the men who are lying about
the matter are fully aware. They
didn't think other people knew it
that WAS all.

The address OF Senator Burton at
Topeka last night was that Of one con-
ident in the Righteousness Of bis posi-
ton and with the courage OF mis- con.
viction. He impressed bis hearers,
and will impress the citizens Of Kan
sas as they read the speech. with the
absolute sincerity Of bis convictions,
with the correctness Of bis position as
representative Of Kansas interests, OF
his entire accord with President
Roosevelt! and with his ability to think
out and advocate right measures in
national affairs. Repeated and per-
sistentent Misrepresentation have
been Senator Burton's lot at the hands
Of opposition politicians and newsPa'
pers. The people Of Kansas believe
in him more strongly today than ever
and are proud Of him.

Why Does It Rain?

1t rained again today-same as on
most other days for two months.
Various causes are assigned for the
incessant and unusual downpour OF
rain. The human animal shows his
development from the savage state
by always looking for causes. He Is
no longer satisfied to take things as
they come. He has lost the serene
contentment Of mental sluggishness.
He wants to know the "why," and
when science fails to satisfy his curl
osity be assigns cause Of his own.
The man who sits on a cracker box
down at Cherry Corners and whose
intellectual pabulum is obtained only
from the almanac is not disturbed
over the uncertainties and doubts Of
science. He knows that the "trusts"
have something to do with the con.
tinuous soaking" from which the
country is suffering. The "trusts"
have been watered until they can
hold no more moisture and the bot
tom has dropped out. deluging the
earth. Another wiseacre believes
that the rubber trust cornered the
crop Of moisture and is giving it to
us all at once. Still another theory
advanced by the cracker.barrel
prophet is that the unusual precipita.
ton is caused by the eruption at
Mont Pelee. In fact this theory is
not confined to the agricultural ex-
