FARMING A SCIENCE.
Faculty of o. of NJ. Plans to Elevate
Study of Agriculture.

Columbia, Mo-. Feb. z.-Decision has
been made by the faculty of the Missouri
university to elevate the study of agricul-
ture to a place as a high science. and ag-
ricuIture taught in high schools will
be accepted a basis of entrance of
students to the university
This will have the effect of placing the
study of farming equal footing
with other sciences.
1t is proposed by the university to in
troduce the study into every high school
in the state, and if the plan is successful
it is expected that other states viii fol-

HARRIS SAYS NO.
Still Says He Does Not Want to
Be a Candidate.
His Friends Assert He Will Be

THE STRONGEST MAN.
FusiOnists Realize That He Is
Good Timber
Congressman Calderhead Is Re-
nominated in Fifth.

Although Senator Harris has written
numerous letters saying that he does
not wish the Democratic nomination
for governor this year. and is not a
candidate for the place, some of his
close friends assert that they know he
will take it If those to whom he owes
political obligations insist that he shall,
and If other conditions are complied
with. The other conditions are that
the balance of the ticket shall be per-
fectly satisfactory to him.
Senator Harris is doubtless the
strongest leader in either of the anti
Republican parties, and for that reason
the majority of Democrats are in favor
OF drafting" him, and this is the plan
which win be carried out. Notwith-
standing Senator Harris protests he
VIII be nominated, ard assurances are
given by those who have worked with
Senator Harris In the past that he will
take tbs nomination If he is drafted
Personally Senator Harris would
doubtless prefer to remain a private
citizen and continue in his present
work, which is as remuneratiVe as be-
ing governor, with less responsibility.
He received as much honor as United
states senator as he could get from
being goyernor-probably more-so
that there would be no inducement

make the race
The Democratic state platform, so far
as state issues are concerned, will prob
ably make a prominent feature of the
taxation question, and particularly will
they Feiterate the charge that the Re
publican party favors the railroads and
corporations and places the chief bur
den Of taxation on the farms of the
state. This was the charge made by
W. H. Craddock in his campaign for
governor two years ago. but it was de-
MED by Governor Bailey. The action of
the state board of equalization since,
however, has borne out the charge and
furnished the opposition to the Repub-
licans with valuable campaign mater
ial, unless the Republicans themselves
go on record against such action.
ConcOrdia, Kan, Feb. 25.-William
Alexander Calderhead was nominated
for congress from the Fifth Kansas dis
trict by the Republicans last evening
for the sixth consecutive time. Each
time but one, the second, he has been
elected.
The congressional convention met
here last evening at o'clock. Every
thing had been planned beforehand and
the work of the convention was quickly
accomplished. The nomination of Con-
gresham Calderhead was by acclama-
ton, as was every other nomination
made.

CONVENTION DATES.

The different Democratic State
and district nominating conven-
ton dates were decided upon by
the various committees last week.
The State nominating conven-
ton will be held at Topeka
August grid. The Seventh district
congressional convention, at Great
Bend August 10th, and the 37th
senatorial convention at Ashland
August Is. The apportionment of
delegates to these conventions is
the same as formerly, excepting
the senatorial convention. Barber
county will only be entitled to
four delegates. The county con-
vention selected six. The sena-
torial committee decided to use
the same basis that was used in
determining the number of dele
gates to the state convention. 1t
will now be in order for the Demo
cratic Central Committee of this
county to take some action in re-
gard to the matter. The ordinary
rule would be to drop the two
delegates who received the smallest
number of votes.
The national Democratic con-
vention will be held at St. Louis
July 9th.

JOAQUIN
MILLER
AT HOME

Joaquin Miller, the eccentric poet and
writer, well-known to all Oregonians,
and formerly a resident of this state,
has many peeuliarities, and people are
fond of relating stories of him.
DR.. James Pruett, of Oakland, CAL,
in talking to a reporter of the Pendle-
ton East Oregonian, says:
"Owing to the worldwide fame Of
the poet strangers from all parts Of
the United States call upon him every
day. People of the highest literary
tastes and standing, refined, deueated
and erudite, all expecting to find the
poet in a sumptuOus study, surrounded
by the wealth of art and refinement
"Imagine their surprise to find
Miller curled up in bed in the front
room of his cabin, with his boots and
clothes on, at all times of the day.
4 am not sick, ladies, the poet
will say in excuse for being in bed !;
