New Force With Which Trade
Does Not Know How to Deal
A Chicago dispatch says

A Chicago dispatch says;
sit becomes more and more apparent
in the wheat market that the farmer of
the West is this year cardinal factor.
He is in the almost anomalous posi-
tion OF man who can wait until he
soaf get what he wants. AT least he
rs figured it out that way and is do
fhg plenty of waiting. In consequent
ce, he has injected new controlling
inuence into the market that the trade
does not know how to deal with.
"That is one of the main explana-
tions for the hesitatipg, tlmjd opera
tions of the week. There was the keen
est kind of interest and more than the
usual vigilance on the progress Of
events, but the sum total of business
for the week shows a marked falling

on a.smaller scale If the farmer of the
spring wheat country shows the same
Kind of independence as his neighbor
in Kansas and big winter wheat states,
there will be still more certainty in
casting wheat horoscope.
"Wet weather in the North west and
advices that stacked wheat was suffer
ing in Kansas brought about temper

net loss IN all the options of practical

made up it's mind about the talyield

4 Curious Custom.

In Byfield, small Northampton
shire village in England, a curious Old
custom is still observed in connection
with the letting of certain land. The
ceremony is held in different licensed
houses in the vicinity, and the clergy
man presides over the proceedings.
The company, chiefly consisting Of To-
cal farmers, is seated round a large
table. Presently one Of them rises and
bids a certain amount, Immediately
walking round the table and out of the
door. If this can be done before the
next bid is made. the land is his for the
season. if not, bidder No. , commences
the walk, and so on. This curious auc-
ton occupies some considerable time
and causes great excitement.

If a woman finds her energies are

her sleep is disturbed by horrible

RESIDENCE OF MRS RHODES, NEAR IRvINGToN.
THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men-The Influence OF a
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestmated.

Seven-eighths OF the
men in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful in their eyes
because she has the quail
ties which inspire admira-

There is a beauty in
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
of ambition: because Of
them even thrones have
been established and de-
stroyed.
What a disappointment,
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her head A sickly, half
dead-and-alive woman,
especially when she is
the mother of a family,
is a damper to all joyous
ness in the home, and a
drag upon her husband.

L once saw dozen ladies under

votes and the ladies quietly turn
ed away. While. the discussion
was going on, an old pauper stood
by, intently interested. His large
family had been a charge upon the
town for years. These very women
had given of their time and money
to preserve that family from cold
and starvation; had paid taxes
year after year to enable the poor
master to honor the drafts Of the
Id pauper. And yet as those
ladies turned sadly away with
their ballots still in their hands.
the face of the besotted old pauper
was in smiles. He had been de-

piety, their philanthropy, their
ardent patriotism, went for naught

the attribute that he was a male.

Attempt Made to Assassinate
Hiram Centers in Jackson.

At Jackson, KY, on Wednesday
night an attempt was made to as
sassinate Deputy Sheriff Hiram
Centers. An unknown man stepped
up behind him and threw a weight
at his head, striking him below the
shoulder, breaking two of his ribs
and inficting wounds and possible
internal injuries of a serious nature.
The blow knocked him to his
knees, and in this position he drew
his pistol and fired in the direction
of the retreating figure, but with
out results.

Some Good Reasons Why Women

Mr.. Will Crooks, M. p, has in
troduced bill in the English Par

vote at all parliamentary elections.
In giving his reasons for the sup
port of this bill, he says:
''In all my work / am at making
the people self-reliant, able to think
and act for themselves. Therefore
1 want the women to have the
power and responsibility which the
possession of the vote gives. 1t is
by this rather than by any consid-
Grafton of how their votes will be
used, that / am moved to demand
the enfranchisement of women. At
the same time / believe that the

zens. How absurd, then, to hest
tate to give to those same women
the rights of citizen"

learn the effect the tobacco had
upon the corn, but can see no
reason why, with plenty of fertiliz

experiment in this double crop

where heretofore but one could be
produced is question OF profound

And Old Fashioned Remedy.

Owing TO the prevalence OF
pneumonia and the great mortality
which attend this disease. Boards
of Health in different communities
in the older States of the union are
advocating the following remedy
for the ailments: Take six to ten
onions according to size and chop
fine. Put in large frying pan
over the fire then add to same
quantity of rye meal and Vinegar
enough to make thick pa : In
he meantime stir it thoroughly,
letting it simmer five or ten min
utes. Then at in a cotton bag
large enougSSSS to cover the lungs
and apply TO the chest as hot as
the patient can bear. In about ten
minutes change the poultices, and
in few hours the patient will be
out of danger. This remedy is
said to have been formulated many
years ago by New England ply
stefan who never lost patient by
the disease. 1t seems to us that
the remedy is worth trying in an
emergency, or until a physician
arrives, and we give it for what it
is worth.

On account of the popularity of
the navy in the West there was
some surprise when northwestern
senator and Republican took his
stand against the Presidents poll
cy. "The building of a mighty
navy that is to overawe all the
other nations of the world is a pol
icy so opposite to the policy of all
administrations of all parties in our
past history that l deem it privi-
lege as well as a duty to give ex-
preston to my ideas" said Mr.
McCumber of North Dakota. "The
SOB, 900, 900 appropriation carried
by the naval appropriation bill this
year means $20O,00O,0OO in a very
few years. The audacious de-
mands of the Navy Department for
the last four years are no longer
entitled to consideration. All APP
preparations of an internal charac-
ter are Topped off because we are
too poor to spend money. We can
not fulfill our treaty obligations
with the Indians because Of en-
forced economy. We can not pay
our honest debts, besause if we do
we will overdraw our account. We
cannot build public buildings all
over the country because we need
the money for the construction of
the mighty battle ships. 1t is esti-
mated we are paying IL per cent.

There is an independent refinery
at Humboldt. In order to crush it
the Standard, in the markets reach
ed by that refinery, mas reduced
the price of kerosene to few cents
gallon.
On Feb. 9 the officials of the
Standard announced they would
buy 20 more Kansas oil. Many
men were thrown out of work. 1t
is supposed that this action was
taken in an effort to intimidate
the oil producers and the Legisla-
ture.
1t had the opposite effect.
The Legislators decided they
would not be frightened and the,
indignation caused among the peo-
pie increased the number of sup
porters of the bill. The producers
are confident that the State re-
finery enterprise will be a success.
They say that barrel of refined
oil can be produced for $3.50. The
Standard receives in this State
ABOUT 5000. The railroads get
50, and the Standards profit is Sc
barrel. it is therefore calculat-
ed that the State can make a big
reduction in the price of oil. The
producers also say that fuel oil at
76 cents barrel equals coal at 50
a ton. The average ri OF coal
in Kansas is $3.50 a ton. With
fuel oil 81. so a barrel it would be
cheaper than coal for the consum
er, and the price would be very
profitable to the producers. The
maximum freight rate bill, the pro
ducers say, will open great mark
ct for their ill.
The bill has also attracted indie
pendent refners of the State. They
propose, if assured reasonable
rates by the railroads, to open re-
fineries in opposition to the Stand
ard Company.
Friends of the new legislation
predict that the State refinery will
be in operation within a year.
They say that if the refinery bill
is attacked in court a final decision
can be secured in about 3 months,
and that about six months will be
required to construct the plant. II
