Lincoln, Neb., March 2S.-Congress-
man Burkett has been Endorsed for
the United States senate to succeed
Senator Dietrich in nearly, if not every
county that has thus far held a con-
vention. All the counties in his dis
trict have declared for him. Counties
in three other congressional districts
have done the same. His nomination
is a foregone conclusion.
The necessity of nominating Mr..
Burkett is urgent. He is the ablest
campaigner in the state, and when Mr..
Bryan takes the stump to fight for an
election on the democratic side it will
be good to have such a man as Mr..
Burkett pitted against him. Mr.. Bur-
kett can hold his own with Mr.. Bryan
at every turn in the road.

buildings were destroyed by fire here yes

destruction.

Ion Perdicaris and Cromwell Var

DR.. Len g. Broughton had an al

The coroner's jury in the Slocum

were useless. The covers of most of
them were rotten. The owners of the
boat confessed that they had not
bought life preservers for nine
years. 1t is claimed also that the fire
hose was worthless. The number of
lives lost is estimated at one thou
sand. More than nine hundred bodies
have been recovered.

The forthcoming shifting of seats
in the Cabinet, writes the Washing
ton correspondent of The Progress
sive Farmer, brings out the fact that
few administrations have witnessed
as many changes in the Presidents
advisory council as have occurred in
the two years and ten months since
Mr.. Roosevelt entered the White
House. Only three chairs are filled
by the men who occupied them when
he undertook the duties of Chief Ex-
ecutive, and several of the others
have undergone more than one
change. Secretary Hay, Secretary
Hitchcock, and Secretary Wilson re
main in the positions to which they
we're appointed by President McKin-
ley. The War portfolio has been
successfully held by Mr.. Root and
Mr.. Taft; the Navy by Mr.. Long and
Mr.. Moody, and in the near future
it will be transferred to Mr.. Morton;
the Treasury passed from the hands
of Mr.. Gage into those of MI. Shaw;
Mr.. Knox is about to make way for
Mr.. Moody at the head of the De-
partment of Justice; Mr.. Payne fol-
lowed Nh. Smith as Postmaster Gen
eral, and the new Department of
Commerce and Labor was created
last year, with Nh. C~ortelyou at it's
helm. He is about to yield his place
to Mr.. Metcalf, and still other
changes are predicted for the near
future, including the retirement of
Mr.. Payne and the appointment to
the head of the Postofice Depart
ment of Mr.. Cortelyou, after he has
completed his work as chairman Of
the Republican National Committee.
Rumor also has it that Secretaries
Hay and Hitchcock will retire at the
expiration of the present admins
tration, regardless of the results of
the election. At this rate of muta-
ton, it will soon require the aid of
a memory system to be able to trace
the incumbents of Cabinet positions.

S, e. Akers drove into the city
Saturday and hitched his horse to a
rack on North Lincoln. When he
went for his rig to drive home it was
gone. He could gain no trace Of the
rig and so put the matter in the hands
of the marshal and went home.
Sunday afternoon the horse was
left at a livery stable by two boys OF
the first ward. The horse was much
jaded and showed very hard usage.
These boys have simply taken good
long step towards the penitentiary
and unless they mend their ways al
once that is where they will land,

request that after investigating the Of
Ter we make you write at once for
sample copies, which will be mailed
free of charge. A request written on
postal card, giving name and ad-
dress, is all that is necessary, and the
application carries with it no obliga-
ton to become subscriber. 1t is
practically certain, however, that if
you inquire into the merits of our
proposition you will gladly avail your
self of the opportunity to obtain such
q vast amount of good reading Fiat
ter as our offer permits.
The Times Magazine consists of %
10 SO large pages which, if made into

A good many farmers are becoming

A good many farmers are becoming
very much incensed at the city Of
Chanute because they can't come to
town and sell their produce as they
formally did without paying heavy
license. A few farmers that have a
surplus of cattle and little feed, con-
cluded it would be a good plan to
butcher their cattle and peddle the
meat. Whea they struck the corpor-
alton they were met by a city tax of
$40 per day. They deem this unfair
especially 10 the face Of the fact that
the butchers won't buy their
stock at a price any ways commeDsur-
ate with the way they sell meat. This
is the way the farmers are looking at
the matter and they are growing at
the town. We are very much of the
opinion that this license business has
been carried little too far for the
b EST interests of the town and should
ne mod flied.

Speltz.

This week we have a very interest
ing letter from W. L. Hutchinson, of
AgrIcola, Kan in which trial with
speltz is described. Mr.. Hutchinson g
trial last year with this comparative
ly new crop indicates several things,
but above all that speltz is crop that
may some day be one of the general
crops of the Suniower state. Last
season, as we all know, the rust dam
aged practically every oat field grow
ing in the eastern half OF the state,
and many Ia the west. The rust dam
aged the field of oats growing right be-
side our correspondents field of speltz,
yet the speltz was not injured in the
least. This would certainly indicate
that speltz is rust proof crop, as has
been claimed forIG, One Of the "long
talks" made for speltz Is its ability to
stand dry weaGher. Last year 1t had
none to stand, BUTT had the wettest
season known for years to go through,
and still made nearly three times the
number of bushels Of grain to the acre
as did oats growing on the same
quality Of soil and lying practically
the same. A droutn resisting crop
isn't supposed to be much of flood
resisting crop, but If speltz is true to
what is claimed for 1t, IA dreuth re-
sister it is certainly double header,
being crop that can stand either
wet or drouth and still make a profit
able return.
We are not writing this to encour-
age some one to try crop because it
is to them new one, but the state
ments made by Mr.. Hutchinson are
plain. With oats making about is
bushels to the acre aud speltz beside
them making over As, each crop being
planted and harvested at about the
same time, there is, in this case at
least, convincing argument for SOW
ing speltz next spring instead of oats,
for the early grain crop. We could |
not expect the grain of speltz to
equal oats for horse feed, but for a
feed for both horees and hogs, as feed |
for both of these ma ~ of us will lack |
early next summer, it would certainly |
produce the most and for this reason
be the most economical for us to raise.
However, some Of each will do no |
hurt, as speltz, being new crop for
Kansas, may not do as we'll in all |
seasons as it has this. Besides we
have an idea that part speltz and rart
oats mixed would make better horse
feed than all speltz. For plain hog
feed, however, we have no doubt all
8 oeltz would prove the most economi-
cal to raise. But plant few acres to
an early variety Of corn, anyway
