COTTON is STILL KING.
Continues Our Most Valuable Agricul
tural Export

Continues Our Most Valuable Aericul-
tural Export.
When We say cottin is king, what do
we mean? Cotton was once king of
the crops says ellison Willets in Les
lies Weekly. 1t is so no longer. Wheat
is now enthroned. Though the cotton
crop for the last year was 13,654,02S
bales cotton Exchange figures), the
wheat crop of the year exceeded the
cotton crop in value by more than
S100,000,000. But wise men say that
King Wheat is a pretender, tempo
rarirly crowned, and that cotton will
soon again resume rightful place as
king of the crops. The world depends
upon this country for clothes. Clothes
mean principally cotton. 1t is natural,
then, since this country is the principal
grower of cotton, that our most valu-
able agricultural export should be cot
ton. OF cotton we have practically a
monopoly; and it is the only crop of
which we have such monopoly; that
it is, indeed, the only staple crop of
which any nation has anything ap-
preaching a monopoly. Then there's
the still growing trade in the far East.
How may that trade ultimately help
to reseat cotton as king? Mr.. WI Ting
Fang, as minister at Washington, said:
'If every Chinaman in China should
add one inch to his shirt tail, this alone
would consume the whole American
cotton crop"

A WOMAN DOCTOR
Was Quick to See That Coffee Poison
Was Doing the Mischief.

A lady tells of a bad case ST coffee
poisoning and tells it in way so Sim
pie and straightforward that literary
skill could not improve it.
Il had neuralgia headaches for
12 years. she says, "and have suffered
untold agony. When l first began to
have them 1 weighed 140 pounds, but
they brought me down to ITO. 1
went to many doctors and they gave
me only temporary relief. So l suf-
fered on, till one day in 1904, woman
doctor told me to drink Postum Food
Coffee. She said looked like l was
coffee poisoned.
so l began to drink Postum and
/ gained Is pounds in the first few
weeks and am still gaining, but not
SO fast as at first. My headache began
to leave me after l had used Postum
about two weeks-long enough l ex-
pect to get the coffee poison out of my
system.
Now that few months have
passed since 1 began to use Postum
Food Coffee, l can gladly say that
never know what neuralgia headache
is ilho oi' iioio, anu ~ "''
ing but Postum that cured me. Be-
fore 1 used Postum l never went out
alone; l would get bewildered and
would not know which way to turn.
Now I go alone and my head is as
clear as bell. By brain and nerves
are stronger than they have been for
years" Name given by Postum Co.,

Egg-Laying Contest.

Consul Daniels reports from Shef-
field a novel egg-laying competition at
the Lady Warwick Ladies' Agricul!
tural College. The conclusions reached
are that breed does not govern so
much as the laying strain or families
of breed highly developed as egg pro-
ducers. The pen of four Buff Orping-
tons led from October 10th to Novem-
Der 10th by producing forty-nine eggs,
and again on November 10th to Decem
Der 10th with 120 eggs. One thing
the present competition shows is the
little help it is to birds TO be what
show enthusiasts call beautifully
Marked" for as often as not it is the
ordinary looking competitor, birds a
show judge would laugh at, that have
the biggest total of eggs to their credit
In the winter laying competition what
stands bird in good stead is not that
its father was the winner of medal,
but that it's mother and grandmother
were wonderful layers, and that its
male parents also came from a good
laying strain.

NOTHING TO ARBITRATE.
Letter of Anthracite Operators to John
Mitchell.


New York-A subcommittee of
presidents of the anthracite coal carry
ing railroads and mine operators held
a meeting in this city Tuesday and
drew up a letter to President John
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
of America in which the operators
again declare that there is nothing to
arbitrate except the question whether
there shall be any arbitration. This
reply was made in response to Presi-
dent Mitchell's recent amended propo-
sition of arbitration.
The operators do not, however, re-
fuse point blank to accept Mitchell's
latest plan. They assert that all the
differences between the miners and
their employers have been decided by
the strike commission and that there
is no reason why any attempt should
be made to arbitrate them.
1.-The fundamental principles of re-
garding the conduct of this business
have all been established by the strike
commission" the operators declare.
mo reason is suggested why they
should be retired. We have no further
suggestions to make than those con-
tained in our former propositions and
we regret that you have declined both
of them. We have nothing further to
Offer"

Denver-A Republican special from

road between the Ketchum ranch and

practical range man would laugh at the
idea of being able to follow footprints

FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE
A Michigan Mother Preserved to Her
Family by Or. Williams
Pink Pills.

When the blood is impoverished the
nerves starve and neuralgia or something
more serious swiftly follows. Nervous
people are generally pale people. By
supplying through the blood those vital
elements that the nerves need, DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People have
performed those remarkable cures that
make 1t impossible for any nervous suf-
ferer to neglect them.
A recent case is that of Mrs. Peter
Morrissette, of No. 3l5 Eleventh street,
Alpena, Mich, who writes as follows
NV trouble started with Childbirth.
After one of my children was born l had
kind of paralysis. l was very weak
and my mouth was q little crooked. 1
was always tired and was so nervous
that could not bear to hear n dog bark
or q bell ring-even the little bird i'll its
cage would annoy me. My heart fut-
tered a great deal and had dizzy spells.
l was not able to be left alone.
"My doctor gave me different kinds Of
medicine, changing it several times.
When it was evident that he could not
help me he said he did not understand
my case. This was three years ago and
l was very much discouraged, when my
brother, who had taken DIR. Williams
Pink Pills, recommended them to me. l
tried them and noticed n change for the
better when was taking the second box.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills cured me and l
have been well ever since. now do all
my own housework, sewing and wash
ing for seven of us"
Dr. Williams Pink Pills have also
cured diseases caused by impure or i'm
poverished blood such as rheumatism,
anamia and after-effects of the grip.

we shall vote for him to go back to his
newspaper in Marion
It was my pleasure to listen to the
speeches of Senator La Toilette and
also Senator Chester I. Long, and af-
ter hearing both, we believe that of
the two kinds of Repu blicands1n we
prefer to be classed with the La Fol
Iette crowd. He did not have to make
any excuses for his votes in the senate.
Mr.. Long, in his speech, seemed to de-
light in attempting to show up Col.
Harris railroad record Of ten or more
years ago. While he was doing 50 our
mind wondered what Governor Hoch's
record was on the same subject We
had notion that he was not very un-
friendly to the railroad. when he used
one of their sledges to batter down the
doors Of representative hall. We also
wondered what Mr.. Long thought OF
railroads at that time.
The state Of Kansas has paid thou
sands OF dollars to find that our state
treasury is short some seventy thou
sand dollars and we have not been In
formed who got the money. we ex-
pect to vote this fall for a man for
attorney general, who, If elected. will
give the names of the men who got the
money. It Will never be given the peo-
pie any other way.
We believe as you do. Mr.. Editor.
that the managers Of the Republican
party win discover after the election
that there are enough Of as go back
and vote for Harris to wine ont the
large majority Of Mr.. Hoch Of two
years ago. And we want to add that

Manhattan. Kan, Oct. 20.=The
Agricultural college football team will
meet the College Of Emporia next
Monday. The Farmers expect to win
the game but at present It looks as
though it would be played largely by
substitutes. The home team has been
unusually unfortunate this year in re-
gard to injuries and at present six men
are unable to be out for practice.
Blake and WILDER are both out of the
game with injuries received in prac-
tice. while Scholz, Haggman, Graves
and Jeffs have not been able to prac-
tice since the Haskell game.
Coach Ahearn will probably use as
many of the substitutes as possible in
order to save the regulars for the

Ames is also fortunate in the posses

Jeanson, who promises to develop into
one of the sensations ia the west this
season, while the Cornhuskers have
been weak at this position since the in

To the Editor of the state Journals
have just read your editorial. "A

that there Is. more truth than poetry

editorial. We have not forgotten the
abuse we had to endure when we took
the privilege Of voting our convictions
ten years ago and We also remember
that Mr. Hoeh is the same gentleman
who used a Santa Fe sledge to destroy
state property in 1893. We voted for
him two years ago under protest. be-
lieving then, that he would not do as
he promised he would, but we hoped
to be agreeably disappointed in him.
He has proven a very weak man in
his administration IN many ways and
