Bringing Bringing Gp Rundown frarm.

1t is astonishing how much can
be SAID on the subject of bringing
up a rundown farm; but running
such a farm is so different from
running one that has had the
proper care, and so different in the
profits to be derived from the Guilt
waiting thereof, that one feels like
he is in a different world. as 1t were
while running it. l have done
some investigating along that line
as to why there are so many such
farms in some localities. | knew
of farm in an adjoining county
that could be bought for $4,000 on
which stood house that had cost
$4,000. Inquiry disclosed the
fact that each one of the boys and
girls that first saw the light of day
upon that farm had developed into
complete failures. This shows that
these people had a very incorrect
view of life, viz: The world owes
me a living and l am bound to have
it. have seen many cases like it
and many fine farms go down I'M
der the pressure of such an idea,
Suppose one has bank account, no
matter how acquired, and should
deliberately draw upon it beyond
what the interest amounts to, how
can he hope for it to keep its full
size under such pressure? So with
a farm which, in one sense of the
word, is bank.
How people expect it to keep up
ire fertility while heing cropped
year by year, and nothing done to
help it to gain its virgin fertility
except to lie idle now and then to
bring a crop of weeds as long as it
is capable Of so doing, is a question
hard to answer; and the practice
leads many who were once blessed

goods to an old age of want, the
farm passing to others who manage
in different way, restore the farm
TO what it should be and find life
worth the living. l saw case like
this once, a farm where everything
that had life, both animal and veg
etable, seemed TO rejoice that God
had given life so blessed. / was
told that not many years previous
to the time of my visit it was a
miserable affair; that had been sold
under foreclosure of mortgage and
did not bring more than half of
what the house had cost, the mort
gage having been given to get
money to build it with, notwith-
standing the fact that the old house
was good enough and fine enough
to have satisfied the cravings Of
more than half of the farmers of
the county in which it was situated.
This step was taken because the
family imbibed the idea that their
station required finer house to
match the fine carriage, horses and
buggies they sported, and the fine
beaux the girls had caught in town.
But the most interesting story con-
Dected with this farm was the story
of how it was brought to it's present
state of productiveness. AS pos
session was given at the close of
the year, and the new owner had a
large surplus OF oats grown the
previous year, he found it the near
est route TO success to plant the
whole farm Gall that had not grown
up in sprouts), in oats, as early as
it could be done. Later on some
of this was turned under for crop
of corn. Still later so ne of the
best was cradl ID for feel; but the

Commenting on Judge Parker'K
notification speech, Mr.. Bryan
said:
1T is admirable on the qDes-
:!caS discussed. hope his isssza
of acceptance will go more intB
detail in regard to certain pIanks
of the platform, especially upon
the labor question. His endorse
ment of the party's position upOE
imperialismis especially gratifying
That was the paramount issue in
1900, and it must remain a QueE-
ton of the first importance unt53
definitely settled. His discussion
of militaryism and the military
spirit will do great good.
"The promise not to be candi-
date again ought to strengthen
public faith in his determination
to discharge the duties of the
office with an eye single to the pub
lie veal according to his best
judgment. The reasons that he
gives for his determination not to
be candidate again in case Of
success are the reasons which in
huenced me to make the SANS
promise, and l believe that theE
will commend themselves to tbs
country at large.
"This declaration ought to be
especially gratifying at this time,
when he is presented as the cand5
date against a man who is openly
and VIGOROUSLY using the influence
of his office to advance his OVID
political prominence. The exam
pie of Mr.. Roosevelt working for a
second term will give Importance
to Mr.. Parker's declaration not to
be a candidate for second term

Rate-Cutting.

Rate-cutting with the railroads
is a a good thing for community.
People can thereby get to their des-
tinations at less expense. Rate
cutting in education is not so ad-
vantageous. People are learning
to beware of cheap schools. A
cheap diploma is a costly luxury.
An education obtained at great cost
is a profitable treasure.
Rate-cutting in religion is even
m IRE deleterious. If every church
could sell through tickets, with
stop over privileges, those who de-
|. sire to get to heaven as cheaply as
possibie would be gratified. But
the mischief of the matter is that
no church as yet has its line com
pleted. Rates are cut before the
great bridge is built,
There are many who believe that
a cheap religion, like a cheap ed
ucation, is not worth having. I'm
der the preaching of Christ, it
meant something to become his dis
ciple. The price with him was,
1T any man will be my disciple, let
him deny himself, forsake all that
he hath, and take up his cross and
follow me-"
1t has come to pass that rates
have been cut by many churches.
A theological scalper's ticket can
be obtained today without any
change of conscience, character or
Ieonduct, If he will just look
.Ound little while, he will find
Amething that calls itself church
mat will offer to take him through
st as he is. Mr.. Ingersoll was
invited tojoin a certain church o.,
and he was assured that it was un-
necessary for him to make any
change in his faith or practice +! He
wouldn't accept. Rates were too
cheap. He was afraid that he
would have to get out and push
when it came to going upgrade.
Oh, the pity of it all /. The fare is
too low. 1t is more of a recreation
to stay at home. When it always
means a change of heart and trans
formation Of life to join the church,
we will be doing bigger and bet
ter business.
The first great cut in rates was
made when the authority of the
church was substituted for personal
allegiance to Christ. The next
came when, in the time of Luther,
ritualism had been substituted for
Righteousness. The next cut was
made when divine ordinances were
changed to please the people -

Without some food that we will like
And which will likewise nourish.

To catch thy tuneful cackles.

They do not care button,
And skyward goes the price of beef

They say they see no hopeful sign,
Nor ray of sunshine-ah. cut

Can tighten all our sadness;

Twill fiji our hearts with gladness.

The Prosperous South.

The South is now and has been
for a year past the most prosperous
part of the United States. This
prosperity bids fair to continue
without interruption.
Taught by the hard experience of
low price for cotton lasting eey-
eral years, diversified farming be-
came general, and while cotton re-
NAMED "King" increased crops of
corn and wheat were grown, cattle
and hogs were raised, fruit and
vegetable became a great source of
revenue.
Now with great cotton crop in
sight, and the world in need of a
larger quantity than ever before.
the price will not sink to the low
level prevailing few years ago,
and the other great crops were
never larger and are bringing prices
that mean prosperity to the raiser.
In a territory as large as that of
the South, here and there the con-
ditions may be unfavorable, but as
a whole the South's prospects were
never better, and the eyes of the
world are turned to the fair and
fertile land flowing with milk and
honey" with climate so mild and
even that work is pleasure in all
seasons, and with soil so rich that
work brings rich reward.
No wonder the people of the
North and West are turning toward
the South, where cheap and fertile
lands can be had in communities
already supplied with schools,
churches, and transportation ia
cilities, and better than all, with a
people who have shown within the
past thirty years power to wrest
victory from adverse conditions
that has never been equaled.-

IT'S WORTH MONEY TO KNOW.
SANKEY'S journalistic Beginning.

When the late Henry NJ. Stanley
first arrived at New Orleans as
cabin boy on a sailing ship from
Liverpool, and before he had made
t re acquaintance of the Stanley
whose name he afterward was to
assume, he was forced to various
shifts to earn living.
Among other positions for which
he applied was that of office boy
in one of the morning newspaper
offices. His bright appearance
impressed the man in charge, who
engaged him and told him that he
could begin his duties in a half an
hour, it then being nearly o'clock
in the evening, and that his hours
of work would last to some time
after midnight.
AS the boy star ed out the man
noticed that he was barefooted.

the boy.
Cant You get some?"

"Come back at 8 with shoes and
stockings, and it's all right. If
you don't we can't take you"
answered the man, turning away,
while the future explorer went out
with harder problem before him
than finding Livingston.
He sat down on the steps out
side, and after some minutes
thought went back into the ante
room again and faced the boy who
was in charge during the day, who
had overheard the conversation.
"See here" said the applicant,
"have you got another pair of
shoes and stockings?"
NO"
"When do you go off duty?"
six o'clock"
Same time l go on. Now I'll
tell you what I'll do-Ill give you
a half dollar for the use Of your
shoes and stockings each night for
a week. I'll leave 'em under the
desk for you every morning when l
go way so you can wear them dur
ing the day"
"Well, " answered the boy slow
ly, "Pll do it if you'll write me an
order on the cashier for the half"
The order was duly written, and
the future Sir Henry put on the
shoes and stockings and entered
upon his first journalistic duties.-

YOUNG GIRL DISAPPEARS.

Centerville, July S.-Miss Emma
Davidson, an unusually bright and
pretty girl, the daughter of w. r. Da-
wilson, a prominent farmer living four
miles northwest of here, has disap-
peared. No definite knowledge of her
fate can be learned by her nearly
frantic parents. There is reason to
believe that she has been enticed
away from home, and, according to
one report, was seen to take train
from Centerville in company with a
strange man.
The girls clothing was discovered
on the banks of the Charlton river,
about mile from the Davidson home.
Careful search has failed to discover
any trace of the girl or her body, and
the hundred or more farmers who
Joined in the hunting expedition have
grown discouraged. 1t is believed
here that the clothes were left on the
bank as blind to give the impression
that the girl had committed suicide.
Either the girls father or friend
will go to st. Louis to make search
for the girl there. According 70 one
| report, the girl had received offers CT
work in that city and ii is surmised
that she may have fallen victim Il
a procurer.
Miss Davidson is about II years oil
! age. She left home last Monday, say
ing she was going into the woods tc
| gather some ferns. She has not beer
seen by her parents since

POLICEMAN KILLED ON DUTY.
) y
Daniel Norton Was Killed by Drunken
James Reed.

Dubuque, July S.--While pursuing
James Reed, who had threatened TO
kill his wife and small child, shortly
after o'clock p. m.,r Patrolman Dan
lei Norton was shot through the heart
by Reed and killed.
Reed is construction foreman and
was doing work for the Standard
Telephone company. He was addict
ed TO drink and il was while intoxi-
Gated that he returned to his home
and threatened to take the life of his
wife and child. Fearing that he
would carry out his threat, Mrs. ?eed
notified Norton.
The policeman went to the Reed
home in the basement of the building
at $50 Bluff street and attempted TO
arrest Reed. Reed saw the policeman
approaching and he ran into the Pal
mer residence and made his way up
stairs. Norton followed quickly aud
was seemingly gaining on Reed, as
the man, apparently at bay, TUNED
around and without a word OF warn
ing leveled a siX-shooter at the Off
GERS breast and fired. One shot pass
ed through the victims heart and he
sank over dead. .E
Reed, armed with the six-shooter
and a rife rushed into the street and
after firing four shots in front OF he
Wales hotel ran down to Washington
Park, where he took two shots at
young man who was standing about
forty yards away from him. The shots
went wide of their mark.
In the meanwhile a big crowd had
gathered and the daring ones began
to press in on Reed. He fought like
a lion at bay but burly expressman
threw his weight onto Reeds back
and brought him to the ground with
awful force. The police were rotlfied
and it took three officers TO handle
the prisoner. He tried hard to gain
his liberty, but he was landed safely
behind the bars.
Norton was given medical attention,
but life was extinct and the inquest
commenced. Great excitement pre-
vailed as Reed was taken through The
streets. People did not realize that
the policeman was murdered until 1t
was announced by the doctor.
In his cell in the city Jail Red is
apparently unconcerned over the muir
der. He was not fully recovered from
the effects of the liquor and will not
speak of anything.

TICKET OF SOCIALISTS.
Convention at MarshaIItown Marked
BY Harmony.


Marshalltown, July 1.-THE social.
lists of Iowa celebrated the glorious
Fourth in their state convention in
this city by nominating a full state
ticket and adopting platform setting
forth their principles before the voters
of the state. The proceedings were
characterized by harmony and unani-
nifty. The ticket nominated is as
follows
Secretary Of state, J. E. Shank,
Sioux City; treasurer. Joseph Holmes,
Marshalltown; attorney general, |. S.
McCrillis, Des Moines; judge of the
supreme court, w. J. Martin, Sac

railroad commissioner, J. w. Zetler
Muscatine; presidential electors at

| solution was adopted extending sym
pathy to the Western Federation OF
Miners and denouncing the stand
taken by Governor Peabody of Colo

There were fifty delegates present
