The stockyards bill will be
passed by the legislature; that
is, the bill which the com mittee
has reported. This bill provides
for an increase in the rates of
yardage on cattle, and an in
crease on the yardage on sheep.
The excuse for the bill IS, that the
Missouri legislature will not
make a law which would provide
for as low charges as the Kan
sas legislature and the Kansas
rates would have to be raised to
meet the Missouri rates. Doesn't
that cod you?

Senator Weggener created a
sensation in the Senate last week
when he called Senator Stubs
the Car of the Administration.
He told the truth. Every meas
ure which goes through the
legislature must have the approx
al of Stubs, the partner of Sem
ator Burton, or it cannot pass
the legislature. Burton is back
of Stubs, and is debating what
shall and what shall not be done.
This is a broad statement, but it
is authenticated by several men
who are in a position to know.
OF course the republican news
papers are keeping it quiet.

The following writeup of a we'd
ding appeared in one of our ex-
changes recently:
Mr.. John Winters and Miss Maud
Brown were married on February 10
at the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Creel Brown, near Ravanna.
The bride was dressed in light brown
broad cloth trimmed in tan silk with
white overlace and white ribbon,
with gold collar buttons. The
groom wore conventional black.
The bride is one of Finney county's
most handsome and popular young
ladies, and the groom a prosperous
and substantial farmer. On Friday
night, the 18th inst, Mr.. and. Mrs.
Winters gave a dance in their new
house which was hugely attended
and highly enjoyed. Dancing con-
tinued without interruption u, til day
light when the guests ,'ispersc1
wishing them long and happy we'd
ded life.
The brides attire with the gold
color buttons and the dance which
was ''hugely attended and highly"
enjoyed, gives evidence that the
writer is a close observer of ladies
gowns but very poor on the proper
use of adjectives. We have had
more amusement over county cor
respondents manuscript than any
other department of the newspaper
business.

To compare the big democratic
banquet held last week With the
Kansas Day Club banquet which
the republicans hold each year,
makes the repu blicans feel badly,
but the comparison must be
made. At the Kansas Day BAN
quet there were 201 guests and
one negro. AT the Democratic
banquet there were 1863 guests,
and fifty negros waited on the
tables. There was no enthusi-
asm at the republican banquet,
aud there was plenty of it at the
democratic banquet. The dem
ocrats did not allow their banquet
to degenerate into crap game.

the state. This is the opinion OF
those who attended. The brain
of the state was present. 1t is
surprising that four hundred
people from over the state should
congregate at political banquet
when there was no election be-
ing held or no convention for
primaries. The great crowd
which attended the banquet
means this: The democratic
party in the state of Kansas is
not dead and is not sleeping; it
is awake and very wide awake.
The democrats are prepared to
do business, and they will do it at
the next election. It is the gen.
eral comment that the speeches
made by Mr.. Bryan, F. NJ. Bra
dy, H. G. Castor, ]. A. Johnson
and r. w. Blair were the best
ever delivered at a political BAN
banquet in the state. There
was not a flaw in all the speeches
and there was meat in each of
them. At the banquet were
noticed faces which had not been
at a democratic convention for
years. Why were they there?
Because they realize that there is
an awakening in the democratic
party, and they wanted to see it
come out of the tomb. 1t came,
and came in such a manner that
all the democrats who attended
the banquet were filled with en-
thusiasm. This is the beginning
of the rejuvenescence of the
democratic party.

THE TENN "lDIOT."
In the Original Greek 1t Simply
Meant a Private Person.

Meant a Private Person.
The word idiot is itself of interesting
history. Its primary Greek significance
was that of private as distinguished
from a public person Our words
idiom, idiosyncrasy, etc, are from the
same root. The idiot in Greek was SIM
ply one not engaged in public affairs.
The beginnings of the degradation of
the word are shown in it's application
soon to the common people as distin-
guished from the upper classes. 1t was
then applied to unprofessional and lay
people and soon became the slurring
title of the unskillful and awkward.
BY slow degrees it became applicable
to the stupid and at last to the imbe-
cile and idiot. As late as the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries the word
was still used in its earlier senses. This
long sad history speaks indirectly Of
the pathetic history of the imbecile. II
he was not killed or starved to death
by neglect, ETC., he was usually reduced
to the condition Of beast either about
the house or fields or was actually
driven into the woods and foresd to live
in caves, among wild animals, etc. In
1799 Itard took wild boy" found in
the forests Of Aveyron and tried to
teach him. The ability Of the wild
boys and wolf children to live and the
number that did so shows that idiocy,
as we have later learned, is Of all de-
grees and that a mind may be various
~ defective in some ways, even idiotic,
but in others with capabilities well pre-
served. Blind Tom, the pianist, and
the large number of mathematic idiots
are examples that show how far we
are from understanding the real nature
Of idiocy, and they more than suggest
the partial retention of sound mentality
Of the defective, the possibility Of seiz-
ing upon the one or few normal or even
highly developed faculties and per
haps bringing others into coordination
| with them and to normality. The court
fools and testers of the olden times
were often such partial idiots and de-
| fectives, and they truly lived upon
their "wits,'' which We're often better
than those of their masters.-American

Lda's heart beat fast. She had not

that they had been stopped at Chitka,
she believed that they had only been

that the scrap of paper had been

survey was being made for a new
road, and by further questioning
found out that Alexis and Ivan had
been given employment in that way
