MY DEAR COUSIN: L hasten to
acknowledge receipt of yours of
recent date, also to thank you
for the clippings you enclosed.
Until [ read them [ did not know
how popular Senator Hanna was
at home. | only remembered
that when he ran for senator he
lost every legislative vote in
! Cuyahoga county, his home, by
a majority that footed up about
twenty-seven thousand.
Neither, until [ read the clip
pings from the Ohio papers, did
1 realize how prosperous us Kan
sans were. Thanks to these Ohio
editors and you for enlghtening
me- But for those clippings [
might have gone foolishly think
ing [ was poor, whereas [ am
wearing diamonds" and don't
know it.
l note your inquiry if [ am still,
chasing free silver rainbows? l
am. You know [ was foolish
enough to be republican until
1896 and while a republican [
was taught those silver there
sies." | received my first lesson
when Stanley Mathews, then a
republican senator from Ohio,
introduced a concurrent resOlu--
ton into the United States SEN
ate, declaring the bonds Of our
government payable in either
gold or silver at the option of
the government. Among the
mem bers in the house who voted
for that resolution was VIM. Nc
Kinley of Ohio. Some time later,
when Richard Bland introduced
his famous free silver bill, that
after amendment, became
a law under the title of the
Bland-AllisOn act. Among the
enthusiastic supporters of that
bill, that before amendment, pro-
vided for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at a ratio of 16
to l without aid or consent of
any nation on earth, again ap-
pears the name of one VIM. Nc
Kinley OF Ohio.
Now for the life of me l can
not understand how or why the
right to pay the national debt
in silver in rs had become a ma
tional dishOnor in '96, or how
the right to coin silver at 16 to 1
in 10 had become population"
in 1900. Then at Chicago in
'SS | heard VIM. Mckinley read
the platform which among other
things good and bad, read: Eve
favor the use of both gold and
silver as standard money and
condemn Grover Cleveland for
attempting to demonetize sill
ver,' but then, you know, this is
dead. The republicans all say so.
Still 1 hope you will note that l
had good republican company
when | was learning those "here
sizes.
| note your statement that
there was only one populist vote
cast in the recent election in your
ward, and among 1876, too. Lets
see, how big was Sodom and Co
Ihave read somewhere
in the bible, wasn't it, that those
cities had only eight righteous
people. but until l read your let
ter didn't know that Columbus, |
O., was worse. And you say
that he, poor fellow, mismarked |
his ballot and lost his vote.
Now, out here in Kansas, it is
the republicans who were so 'sshy
on intelligence that they |

couldn't vote properly, and i'm
mediately they got the legisla
ture they amended the Austria IL
an ballot law to provide for a
picture at the head of each col
umn, for, like the lamented Pet
rolium V. Nasty, they reasoned
that "any dern fool could read a
picture. And then approaching
the eternal fitness of things they
chose the ''buzzard" for their
party emblem. Perhaps, as you
say, the west misjudges Senator
Hanna in about the same meas
ure, [ imagine, as the east does
VIM. j. Bryan, where in Massa-
chusetts, [ am told, they use the
name of Bryan to scare the child
rem into being good. Out west
Hanna wouldn't scare anything,
unless he should attempt to
make one Of Roosevelt s antitrust
speeches. That, of course, would
scare anything mortal, and we
Kansans are at least that.
am glad indeed to read of the
material wealth and prosperity
of the people OF our. state. In
the past, we had to "toot our
own horn," now others "toot''
for us. 1t is true we had a mag
nificent wheat crop in 1901, for
(which, / presume, we should
sthank Mckinley. l note also
that the price of corn is high, but
l thought this was caused by the
greath drouth that cut product
ion almost eight hundred million
bushels. InOtice that with wheat
you republicans were willing to
thank the administration for the
crop and blame God for the
price, while with corn and pota-
toes you were willing to blame
God for the crop and thank the
administration for the price.
Now populists are willing to be
fair; they are willing to thank
God all of the time and blame
Roosevelt part of the time, and
we can find plenty to blame him
for, paying j P. Morgan's son
$4,000 to attend the corona
ton of Edward, the Hugger, for
instance. OF course, you under
stand those tales OF our prosper
ity ar absolutely true. More es-
pecially the ones relating to Bar
ton county, where they SOW
wheat right through the winter
regardless of zero weather, and
in Sumner county, where every
farmer is worth $4,000 and |
many OF them cleared $5O,OOOl

before you started to hold a soft |

all this is true, but it don't 90 |

And is Called Down by Typical Kansas
Bryan Man.

A. few days ago John E. Wag-
ner OF Leavenworth county re-
ceived a letter from a cousin in
Ohio, twiting him about the de
cadence of the peoples party and
asking him if he was still chasing
free silver rainbows, and wound
up by filing the envelope with
clippings from different eastern
newspapers telling Of the popu-
larity of Mark Hanna and OF the
wonderful prosperity of Kansas.
OF course John, lvingin Kansas,
was not supposed to know OF the
states PROSPERITY, SO his cousin
with true Ohio egotism proceeds
j. to enlighten him. Among the
clippings appear the following
from the. Delaware, o.. Evening
Journal:
Give years ago the farmers OF
Kansas were suffering for the
want of bread, were tired of do
ing nothing-but carrying great
mortgages on their farms, and
even sick of life. Now they are
rolling in ease, wearing dia-
monds. The yield OF wheat of
the last FIVE years has been sold
for enough money to plaster the
state. with $500 bills.
"Out in western Kansas the
Weld will besixteen bushel to the
acre. As there is no blowing, no
drilling, no binding or Irvine to
pay for, the expense of handling
there is much less than in other
sections and seldom runs over
$500 an acre. This leaves about
$500 an acre clear profit. The
general value of such wheat land
is $4,000 an acre, which brings
the farmer an annual interest OF
about 80 per cent. on the invest
ment.. 'Thisvaries of course with
the yield and expenses, but there
are few farmers who would take
% per cent. for their chances. A
farmer in Barton county last
year carried into successful Oper
alton a plan whereby he had to
have no outside help. He has
two grown sons, and alone they
planted and reaped a field of 500
acres of wheat. They started
planting in September and kept
this up until March, dividing
each month into seperate
patch. In June the wheat sowed
in September was ripened and
harvested, while in July the Oct
ober field was. cut, and SO on.
The three men were kept busy
all the year and cleared $1,000
out of the wheat field. In Sum-
ner county, the greatest wheat
county in Kansas, every farmer
is scheduled as being worth $10,-
600 while there are many who
have cleared $4,000 in the last
year"

The Old BugIe.

There the wall it hangs, with dented curves
and battered mouth,
AS though it fought the song OF war it shrilled
As though the blasts of wrath 1t blew had
clutched IL in a grasp
That left the lasting hnger-prints ere IL released
There. on the WALL it hangs to-day-a token of
Times lapse
For now it knows no other song than that sweet
one of TAPS"
The bent and battered bugle that has sent its
thrilling CALL
against wall
Against a wall of bayonets-of bayonets and
flame
And leaped into the charge as If the busle called
each name!
There, on the wall. it hangs to-day between
the soldier caps,
And in its rusty throat there is no other song
Once sharp and shrill, II burned and blared from
rnouthniece ort to hell
With strident sound, and stinging strains the
startling song of hell!
Oft, ringing rampantly 1t sang in tone and voice
In clearest, keenest melody, the rhapsody OF
Yet, now 1t hangs there. peacefully. and sings
In thinning e ranks s cali for the sad and sweet
old song OF TAPS.
And when they take the bugle down to play
No soldier-heart but quicker beats when comes
the well-known sound;
No soldier-mind but travels once again the dis
tant ways
That loom anew in memory-though dimming in
the haze.
There. on the wall. it hangs to-day-a token of
And now 1t knows no other song than that sweet

FESTIVAL WEEK PARADES
OPENING PAGEANT WILL BE GIVEN
ON MONDAY AFTERNOON.
The Coaching Parade Will BE One of
the Features of the Week-LOuis-
vile Horse Show.

All the preparations for festival week
parades have been completed by the exec
utive committee of the festival and horse
show One of these parades will be on Mon
day afternoon and will be known as the
opening pageant. The other will be the
demonstration by the fraternal organiza-
tions of the county and the uniformed
ranks of the State.
A big feature Of the opening parade will
be the coaching parade. This will include
all the four-in-hand coaches entered at the
horse show. The teams are TO be driven
with a cock horse. which may be ridden by
a position, and the coaches are to take
ten or more passengers from Monument
place and parade to the horse show arena,
where they will be judged as to their ap-
pointments.
other features of the opening parade will
be exhibits from the horse show and a dis
play of the attractions that will be found
in festival field. Another important feature
will be the floats that are now being con-
structed especially for the Indianapolis fes-
tival, which will typify incidental subjects.
The demonstration of fraternal organiza-
tions, Chairman Negley predicts, will be
complete and inspiriting. Prizes are offered
for competition by the subordinate lodges
of the fraternities of this city and county
and they are entering enthusiastically into
the scheme. The uniformed ranks have
evinced great interest in the arrangement
and there will doubtless be the largest dis
play of this branch of fraternalism that
the city has ever seen. To cater to the
comfort and convenience of the fraternities
there has been reserved in festival field a
large portion for the exclusive use of frater-
nifty headquarters. Separate tents will be
povided for each organization and visitors
will find their brethren glad to welcome
them.
Indianapolis and Indiana were well rep
resented at the opening of the Louisville
horse show last night. Governor Durbin
and his staff were guests of honor and par
ticipants in the important social functions
that are incidental to the show. Mortimer
Levering is one of the judges in the heavy
harness and delivery outfit classes. Man.
ager d. r. Mills, of the Indianapolis horse
show, was also a guest. During the week he
will confer with all the large stable owners
exhibiting at the Louisville show with a
view to getting them for Indianapolis. Most
of them are already entered but the man.
agement here desires to add as many more
fine strings as 1t can procure.

ton was disclosed yesterday when Rufus
Cantrell in company with Detective Asch
drove to the cemetery in Mount Jackson
and several graves were opened to corrobo-
rate the stories previously told by him.
witnesses to the operation yesterday morn
ing were Sexton Spears and one of his as
sistants, man named Ault. Cantrell
opened several graves and showed that the
collins were empty. Spears and Ault at
once became uneasy. When Cantreli had
finished his work to the satisfaction of the
detective he turned to Spears and laugh
ingly said: "Oh. you need not look so
night we tied you to the tree and then went
about robbing those graves. We did not
have any trouble in tying you, for you got
your 'divy out Of the pot"
MADE ACCUSATIONS.
Before Spears and Ault were confronted
BY Cantrell the latter had made several
severe accusations concerning their work
at the cemetery. Cantrell by his own ques-
tioning compelled Spears and Ault to ad-
NIT that they had been in conversation
with doctors at night in the graveyard.
One of the doctors, Ault said was a short.
said this man was all right he did not
grumble when certain prices were fixed for
bodies. The other doctor was said to be a
small-sized, light-complexioned man. who.
making deal for work.
1t is now thought that with the full con-
fession made by Cantrell in which he inn
plicates number of sections of well-known
graveyards, startling developments may be
expected within few days. 1t is said that
DIR. Alexander will not be the only physi-
clan that will be tried. 1t Is expected that
within ten days the State will have secured
now arrested with those who are under
surveillance.

Value of Technical Training.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
All kinds of higher education have the
sympathy of good people. We are, how
ever, less informed on the merits of techni-
cal and industrial education than of some
other kinds. The noble efforts now being
made by public-spirited and disinterested
citizens to found the technical institute
make it desirable that we inform our
selves as to the particular merits of this
kind of a school 1t offers the newest edu
cation. We have had fair supply of edu-
cational facilities for those persons intend
ing to enter the so-called learned profess
sions But the Importance of lawyers, doc
tors preachers, teachers and editors has,
in this industrial age, undergone relative
decline. Manufactures and commerce have
come to the front influential elements
in modern life. Hence arises the necessity
for the new education which trains boys
for manufacturing, engineering, for COM
merce and all the mechanlcal arts. Technl-
cal education is the newest mark of prog
ress in this country, and opens new
careers for boys of talent for whom no
place can be found in the crowded ranks
of professional life.
The effect of such education appears not
only in the life and career of individual
pupils but also in community life. Capital
is helpless without technical skill 1t Is
to the trained experts, whose services can
be obtained, that the manufacturer must
look 1OT improvements III HcluOu, lOT new
inventions, for scientific economies and for
commercial success. Germany has been far
in advance of other countries in discovering
the value of technical education. In the
present generation the technical schools
of Germany may be said TO have recon-
structed the German nation and enabled
German manufacturers and merchants to
become our foremost competitors in the
worlds markets. / doubt not that when
the technical institute shall have been i'm
operation a very few years the manufac
tureres OF Indianapolis and those engaged
in every kind Of mechanical business will
find themselves supplied with a class
of experts heretofore few in num-
ber and difficult TO obtain. These
highly trained men will do for Indianap polls
as a manufacturing and commercial center
what they have done for the cities OF Ger
many. They will attract far more inves-
tors than will bonuses of land or money
for factories.
Skill rules the world All forms of indus
try flourish In those localities where the
peculiar skill which they require is found
among the people. II We care to make In
danapolis a greater city IL will best be
done by training our own youth here at
home to acquire that technical skill which
is now dominant factor in the world S
progress. AUGUSTUS l.. MASON.

TECHNICAL FUND RECITAL.


The musicians that contributed to the re-
cital arranged by Miss Alice Cullen and
held last evening at the Propylaeum for
the benefit of the technical institute fund
had an audience that half filled the hail.
No doubt more tickets were sold than were
represented in the audience, and the Propy-
laeum Association gave the use Of the hall,
an equivalent of SIS.
The programme was of interesting va
riety and pleasing average Of skill. The
Maennerchor male quartet, consisting in
Charles Adam, Emil Steinhilber, Victor
Jose and julius Burkhart, gave the first
number. Mrs. George Carbon sang Denza' s
Isl Tu Maimais." Miss Una Clayson
played Josef Hofmann's Caprice" waltz.
William H. Morrison, jr.. sang Tosus MY
Dreams" Miss Josephine Robinson had
Mrs William F. Clevenger's violin obligato
in singing Beneath the Branches, by
D'Hardelot. waltz for the harp, by Haf-
felman, was played by Miss Louise Schell-
schmidt Louis Dochez sank Tschaikow-
sky's Don Juan Serenade," and Miss LII
lie Adam Greghs Dream of Love-" Hugh
McGibeny played Sarasate's fantasy on the
Faust theme. one Meridian Choral So
ciety under the direction of Max Leckner,
sang Lacombe's "Estudiantina." There was
hearty applause and in almost every num-
ber an encore.
