Summer Use of Grains.

The feeding problem, in some sec
lions, is quite as formidable In the
summer as in the winter, and this Is
particularly the case where the feeding
is largely done in tho barn, which, by
the way, Is becoming more popular
every year among dairymen. What
grains one shall use depends largely
upon the methods which Individual
feeders have found most profitable In
the past, but corn, in the summer ra
ton, must be sparingly used. Tit
stock foods or the concentrated grains
purchased already mixed, ought alsi
to be handled carefully and particu
larly so when little or no pasture II
| given the animals.

Congressman Towne Says He Will

the Jefferson day banquet. went outside
his set speech to euIogize William J.
Bryan and to bitterly attack President
Roosevelt. Both sentiments aroused
the most intense enthusiasm, the refer
ence to the Nebraskan ending in dem

almost that he himself in far away

Mr. Towne then read from an editor
ial in which sympathy was offered to
the Democratic editor, who was wont to
write columns on imperialism and free
silver.
I am as thankful as any one that
the money question has worked itself
out so satisfactorily resumed Mr.
Towne. But 1 can not accept in silence
the popular version of why the predict
ed panic that was to follow the adop-
tion of the gold standard did not ma
terialize. The panic did not occur be-
cause since 1895, the country has pro
duced enough gold to supply the money
market without material increase in the
silver output.

BILBY ON STAND.
Wealthy Cattleman Denies
Charges of Fraud.
Says He Tried to Get Settlers in
Logan County.
PAID THEIR EXPENSES.
Didn't Ask Them to Make False
AfIidavits.
Trial Will Come to an End
Tonight.
AID THEIR EXPENSES.

John Z. Bilby. james H Drain and
L. Z. jenkins. the three defendants
now on trial before the United States
district court on the charge of subor-
nation of perjury, We're all put on the
stand this morning. Each man told
good story.
It was their contention that they
have been very desirous oe getting
settlers on or close about the Bilby
ranch in Logan county. Unless the
winters are very favorable there, they
said, the food supply runs very short
on the range, and it is necessary to get
some grain and corn feed stuff to help
out. If people can be induced to come
there and settle on small tracts and
farm them, the Bibys viii make a
standing contract to buy all the feed
stuff which they raise.
I'VE lost over 300 head Of cattle dur
ing the winter preceding this one
said John E. Bilby when on the stand.
The winter just passed has been ex-
tremely favorable and we did not have
any heavy losses. But to be safe we
must have feed stuff. 1t is difficult to
get it from other points and expensive.
We have always been desirous of get
ting settlers in our pasture or close by.
We want them to come in and farm
on the land and then sell us the corn
anu 4diI WHICH LuSy idiSE- W. have
paid the expenses Of persons to come
out there and look at the land. We
have paid their filing expenses and
want them to come and make homes
1t win improve the value of our land.
For that matter most of the people in
Logan county want people to come and
settle UP the land. So far as the men
are concerned in this Indictment, | will
say that Mr.. jenkins came to me and
said he wanted to go out to Logan
county and settle and make a home
there. He said there were some others
around Clairnont, Mo. who wished to
do the same. I told him that 1 would
pay the expenses of the party to make
the trip and pay for their filing. I said
nothing TO them about buying the land
from them. OF course If a man comes
out there and settles on the land and
proves it up according to law and then
wants to leave and sell it we will buy
it. as we or anyone else has a right to
do. Our proposition, as stated here, to
buy up land from people who go out
there and settle and prove up theiK
holdings. IS just that and nothing more.
jenkins took out this party and we, or
rather Mr.. Drain, showed them certain
tracts of good farming land in our pas
ture. I furnished the expense money
and paid for the fling and had Mr..
Drain put up shacks for them. I had
nothing whatsoever to do with the oath
The Topeka state journal., 1906-04-14

which they took at-the probate judges
Office. I at no time said anything TO
any of them about their oaths. It was
my understanding that they came to
settle there and homestead the land,
Mr.. B1lDyS story was in no wise
shaken by United States District At
torney Bone who cross examined him
very sharply.
jenkins said that he went out there
for the purpose Of settling on a tract
of land and making It his home but
that his wife then refused to 20 there
and for that reason he did not finish
his proof He declared that he said
nothing to any of the men who went
about the oath which they were to
take.
Mr. Drain. who is foreman of the
Biby ranch, said that the party came
to the ranch and that he took them
over sfhe land which he thought was
good for homesteading and small
farming. He, too. stated that he at
no time said anything concerning the
oath which the men were to take
The attorneys for the government
made strenuous efforts to puncture
the stories of these men, but failed.
Nineteen witnesses were put on the
stand this morning to testify to the
good character OF the defendants. The
following declared that Bilby. Drain
and jenkins were all law abiding cfti-
Zens and had good regulations for
