THE SENATORIAL BULL FIGHT.


Kansas City recently had a sham
bull fight. But Topeka, not to be out
done, viii have the genuine thing-in
the shape Of senatorial contest. Al
ready the bulls are being baited at the
Copeland in Topeka. Stanley, Long
and Curtis have already established
their headquarters there and the yards
are full Of the roaring bulls of Bashan-
Stanley is the Sunday school man
from Wichita the governor who has
given Kansas a "busiuess administra-
tiou"-the most expensive in many
years. He has carefully nursed his
boom for several years and has fed the
young bull on taffy, alfalfa and reel
procity. 1t is a fne young animal
with a white face and looks for all the
world like one Of Coburn's pictures.
Long, of Medicine Lodge, congress
man from the Seventh district, is in
the fight to stay, and coming from the
border nearest the Pan Handle, bis
protege, probably, is a loog-hOrned,
mouse-colOrsd Texan. CyLeIand viii
care for and train the brute during
Longs absence IN attendance at the
present session of congress and viii
sharpen the critters horns in the mean
time.
Charley Curtis, of Topeka, congress
man of the First district, is a notable
figure in the fight. His Indian blood
is up and his war paint on. He has a
black bull u years old, a cross between
a native and buffalo. The animal
has been on the reservation in the Iu-
dian territory, and Charley has been
carefully saving him up for just such
an emergency as the present. He is
now full grown, and has heavy, short
horns, and is a fOvorite.
All the contestants will be in the
ring, and Congressman BOwersock and
CaIderhead will also assist in stirring
up the animals, each Haunting a red
flag. The fight viii be pulled off Jan
uary %. The chaplain viii open the
performance with a word of prayer
Unless the society for the prevention
of cruelty to animals should intervene
the fight will come off according tc
programme. BibIe-class students aud
Sunday-sehoOl scholars are especially
invited to attend.

How the Election Effected Prohibition.
The November Kansas issue, just
out, tells how the late election is like
IL to effect the enforcement Of the pro
hibitory law IN the state.
An investigation by the state tenn
perance union reveals that in So out OF
81 counties reporting the enforcement
of the prohibitory law was more or less
an issue in the campaign while in 46 it
was not an issue.
OF the 81 counties 81 are likely to
have batter enforcement of the law
under the new than has been had IN
der the outgoing officers. Ia six coun-
ties the conditions are expected to be
worse. In 40 counties they will be
about the same. In some Of these 40
counties the law is now we'll enforced,
I! in some poorly enforced aud in some
scarcely enforced at all.
The Issue says that temperance peO-
pie ought to be encouraged by this re-
port as five times more counties re-
ported a better than a worse outlook
But it also suggests that the report
should spur the friends of prohibition
/ to rene wed and united effort inasmuch
as in many localities the law is but
feebly enforced

SOME QUEER ..DUTcHMEN."
Snyder County in Pennsylvania Has
n Type That Is DistinctiveIy
Its own.

To see the real Pennsylvania Ger
mans, that is, the type unspoiled by
contact with civilization as the folks
in cities understand it, the seeker for
local color should attend the Kratzer-
vile picnic, held annually for the
last hundred years among the hills
Of Snyder county, states the New
York sun.
The people in the region which
supplies the merrymakers at this an
nual picnic are really a race apart.
Cut of from their more enlightened
neighbOrs by the strip of wild hill
country surrounding them, they arc
scarcely more American citizens In
fact to-day than If they had never
left the Ostseeprovinzen.
The picnic derives its name from
the bit of a village that is their me
trOpolis, and it affords them almost
their only opportunity for unrestrict-
ed social intercourse. The land they
farm is none Of the best and for the
rest OF the year the people IN the
scattered farmhOuses see little Of
one another except IN the moments
after Sunday morning services at the
wayside churches and the few busy
minutes in the weekly market days
at Krarzerville.
Practically and in many cases lit
orally they speak no English For
their villages they have names of
their own, not TO be found in the
Postal Guide, and generally made
from that of the man who originally
laid out the lots
They read but one paper, the week
" Christian BOtchOfter. a journal
printed IN their own dialect. Many
Of them have never seen a railway
train and many more are too super
stitiOus to ride In one. They are so
removed from their kind that there
is probably come real truth in the
legend that at election time they
still vote for Andrew Jackson.
At this annual picnic there Is only
one form Of dissipation, and that is
the multiplicity Of kissing games To
the stranger the other most striking
feature about the gathering Is the
costume.
Men, women and children are ali
dressed IN the gew-gaws OF Is years
ago. The reason Is simple enough.
The things can be worn only once a
year and therefore, being IN a good
state OF preservation. German thrift
and rural ignorance pronounce them
the fit wear for to-day

sew HampzhIre Tests Place Cost at
81 Cents for Feed for Zach
Hours Work

Prof. c. " Burkett, Of the New
Hampshire experiment station, has
been conducting some experiments IN
the feeding OF horses. The investiga-
tions include the amount OF water
consumed the cost of feeding and the
method Of feeding. The trials extend
ed over two years The amount Of
water consumed was recorded in all
the tests. Both the ration consumed
and the amount Of work performed
influence the quantity Of water drunk
by wOrkhOrses,- although the individ-
uality Of the horse has the most
marked effect. In the present in
vestigation the quantity Of water va
ried from 25.s95 pounds TO g, 997
pounds per years Following are the
principal conclusions drawn by the
author:
Any food stuff or combination Of
fOOdstuffs furnishing the desirable
nutriment at least cost should be con-
sidered in preparing ratiOns for horses.
A mixture Of bran and corn, half
and half, Is a good substitute for corn
and oats for feeding work horses.
Corn stOver is a good substitute for
timothy hay for winter feeding Of
horses, because Of its feeding value,
the yield per acre, and commercial
value.
A change from a grain mixture,
consisting partially of Hnseed-oil
meal, slowly OF abruptly, does not
cause a decrease in weight IN horses
If a proper substitute ration is fed.
The average cost per year for act
nal food supply per horse was s74-32.
The average cost for feed per hours
work done during two years was "a

4BoOsIING- MIR. CLEVELAND.

From the Kansas City World
An effort is being made by certain
democrats In the east to bring out
Grover Cleveland for president IN 1904
This effort also appears TO have the
endorsement Of the former sage. Of
Buzzard's hay himself as be is just now
more active in discussing political
questions than for many years
The suggestion of Mr.. Cleveland for
president again would have been re-
ceived with derisiOn a few weeks be-
fore the late election. But there was
such a slump in the democratic vote
throughout the country, with the ex-
ception of a few eastern states, that
the mention Of his name has been
passiveIy received to say the. least
The feeling has permeated the So
called leaders OF the party in the east
that there is no one under the glare of
public notice at this time capable Of
leading the party to victory two years
hence unless it be the ex-president.
But what about the west? Are these
same party Leaflets CdpdDAG u Sdu5AAA
the democratic sentiment in this part
of the country?
The World does not believe they are
or there would be none Of this talk of
Mr.. Cleveland for another term.
It is not necessary for the World to
repeat why this is 50. Yet it may as
well be understood now as later that
Mr. Cleveland is an impOssibility.
The sentiment OF the democrats of
the west at this time is for a new lead
er. Mr.. Bryan has twice been the
nominee and has no desire to make the
race again To say that he is still the
popu ar idol Of western democrats is
but stating a truth. Yet this does not
mean that they are willing to see him
renOmiDatsd.
The effort to boom Mr.. Cleveland for
a third term is a mistake which those
behind II will learn sooner or later to
their political sorrow.
