JUST A LITTLE HISTORY.

The New York World publishes the
following: not strictly one may sup
pose as news of today, but for another
reason:
Thirty-nine years ago today demo-
cratic national convention met in Tam >
many hall Horatio Seymour, ex-gov
ernor of New York, was made perman-
ent chairman, Mr.. Seymour having re-
peatedly refused to be a candidate or
to allow his name to be presented to
the convention.
George H. Pendleton, of Ohio, was
the leading mandidate. but he was
unable to command the necessary two
thirds vote. After long and tedious
deadlock, General McCook, on the
announcement of the twenty-first bal
lot. arose and in the name of the Ohio
delegation demanded the nomination
of Horatio Seymour.
When the applause had died away
ana order was restored Mr. Seymour
advanced 10 the front OF lHe pldtloi III
and said:
Gentlemen of the convention: The
motion just made by the gentleman
from Ohio excites in my mind the
most mingled emotions. have no terms
in which to express my gratitude for
the magnanimity if his state and for
the generosity of this convention. I
have no terms in which 70 tell of nv
regret that my name has been brought
before this convention. God knows that
my life and all that I value most in
life / would give for the good of my
country, which 1 believe to be identified
with our own party

of his opinions or obstinate in his
purposes, but upon a question of duty
and of honor l must stand upon my
own convictions against the world

early day that honor forbade my ac
coping a nomination by this conven-
ton. I meant it.. When in the course
OF my intercourse WIN tnoSe Oh lilS

to them that 1 could not be a candidate
l meant it. And now permit me here
% say that I know. after all that has
taken place. I could not receive the
nomination without placing not only
myself but the great democratic party
IN a false position.
Gentlemen. I thank you, and may
God bless you for your kindness to me.

Howard w. Brubaker, professor or
chemistry in Whitman college, has sub
mifted an analysis of the city water
which he undertook at the request OF
the Commercial club. AT the meeting
of the directors of the club last night
the analysis was approved.
Although the analysis shows no i'm
purities the chemist says there are
grave dangers lurking in the present
system. AS for instance there is MOTH
ing TO prevent fish and other inhablt-
ants of upper Mill creek from coming
down the pipes. If one on these
should become fast in pipe
somewhere and decompose, the water
would be a source of danger to those
drinking it. At present there is nothing
to prevent this and steps should be
taken at once to remedy the matter
and see that nothing is in the pipes.
The analysis is given below.
Walla Walla, Wash. July 1, 1907.
Mr.. Moore. Secretary of the Com
mercial Club:
Dear Sir:
In accordance with your request for
an analysis of the city water of Walla
Walla, I will submit the following re-
port:
The presence of certain substances in
small or large quantities in water in
dictates whether it is pure for drinking
purposes or contaminated with matter
which would make it unfit for such use.
From a chemical standpoint either OF
two things would condemn water con-
tanning them: First. poisonous metals:
second, sufficient quantities of organic
substances which would indicate polu-
ton by animal or vegetable matter.
The sediment which is in the water
in larger quantities at some times than
others is principally sand particles with

San Bernardino, CAL, Dec. THE
school for apprentices in the local shops
Of the Santa Fe coast lines were open
ed today. Yesterday chief supervisor of
apprentice schools for the system F. w
Thomas Of Topeka, arrived here to look
after the starting off of the new branch
of shop work which is expected to pro-
duce good results in producing good
workmen for the Santa Fe shops, the
school being planned along the new
Santa Fe ideas now in vogue in hand
ling shop work.
j. H Savage and A. E. Winkler have
been selected from the local force Of
workmen as instructors for the school,
and the former has been spending some
time in the Topeka institution getting
the plan well in hand to be put in work
ing order here. Mr.. Savage will be the
technical man and have charge of the
mechanical drawing classes and in
struction, being himself a university
graduate. The practical instruction in
the shops for the apprentices will be In
charge of Mr.. Winkler who Is prac-
tical machiniSt. t.
The school will start off with class
of about IS apprentices who will re-
ceive instruction in mechanical draw
Ing and the reading Of drawings four
hours each week, that time being d.
vided into classes of two hours twice a
week, when they will meet with Mr..
Savage. The Santa Fe company will
furnish each pupil complete sets of
tools for mechanical drawing and after
they have followed the instruction six
months the tools become their property.
In the meantime they are kept in lock-
| erS for the pupils.
Mr.. Winkler's work will be to con-
,tinually circulate among the appren-
| tees in the shops and instruct them
| in their work where they may find
| something they do not understand, or
in methods that will facilitate their
work also in the reading of drawings
that are placed before them for their
guidance.
The classes will meet in the air room
for the present but later it is probable
that better quarters will be provided
for them. The Santa Fe's planning to
establish these schools at all the more
important shop points on the system.
Thus far this is the second school open
| ed, the first having been in the Topeka
shops.
Supervisor Thomas will remain in the
San BernardinoI shops several days get
| ting the school operating smoothly, be-
fore returning to Topeka 1t is probable
| that in the near future, the Albuquerque
and La Junta shops will also have
schools. -. l-l- <o2 z-.,-

THE LAYING CONTEST ENDS.
Manhattan Agricultural College Con-
duct Chicken Experiment.

Manhattan. Kan. Dec. THE lay
ing contest that for the past year has
been carried on at the Kansas State
Agricultural college by Superintend-
ent w. A. Lamb. under the direction
of other data may be gathered from a
cember 1. Twenty-Five pens contain
ing six hens and one male each werc
entered. each pen representing a par
ticular variety. The object was not
entirely to get a record of the eggs
laid by the different varieties. as blood
lines and methods of feeding enter
largely into that, but a great amount
of other data may be gatehred from a
contest of this kind, such as the cost
of feeding a hen; the varieties that
stand close confinement the best, the
ones that are broody the most;
whether or not hen really loses time
by being allowed to sit; which pays
the best, to have hens lay in the fall
and winter or in the spring and sum-
mer; and many more problems that
confront the poultry farmer.
The cost of feeding a hen in close
confinement is rather large, ranging
from 80 cents to $1.17 per year. The
American varieties proved to be
broody the most. The following table
gives the six pens that made the bes.
record in the order given.

BIG BUSINESS. FOR NOVEMBER.
All Roads at Wichita Report Large
Increase During Month 49,

Wichita, Kan, Dec. 7.-November re-
ports which have been made out by the
railways entering Wichita. show a net
increase in freight and passenger bust
ness of over 20 per cent over the bust
ness of October.
Our passenger business at the Wich-
tia station for the month of November
shows 81 per cent increase over Oc-
tober," said c. K. Boutwell,, city pas
senger agent Missouri Pacific railway,
this morning This means that we
have handled 27 per cent more local and
through passengers this month than
last. Business is good and we have
little cause for complaint"
The November official records in the
office of A. H. Webb, superintendent of
the Missouri Pacific railway, show that
disc, coal, rock, brick, lumber, hay
and other materials handled over the
Wichita division during the month of
November than in October. This is said
to be an increase of about 20 per cent.
I'VE have not made up our Novem-
Der report yet" said F. J. Evans,
agent for the Santa Fee railway in this
city, "but I am safe to say that the
November business will show UP con-
siderably larger than October We have
SO. We need every man we have right
now and will need them all the more in
January and February.
THE passenger business is always
good with the Santa Fe,'' said j. r.
Moriarty, city passenger agent. 1--WE
now have a night ticket clerk to take
care of the night travel. Extra equip
ment is being carried on our through
passenger trains. The homeseeker trav-
ell to the southwest is heavy"
I'VE now have one more man in the
freight house than we had 30 days
ago." said Local Agent Green Of the
Rock Island 1--WE haven't laid off any
men and think we will not do so.''
Our business Is increasing" said
Phil w. Johnston, city passenger agent
Rock Island railway, "and will show
marked increase over October
D. C. Conkhn, train master Rock Is
land railroad, Harrington, who was in
the city this week said: Our Novem-
Der reports have not been made up
yet, but they will show a large increase
over October"
Agent Everitt of the Orient reports
business good with his line The ORR
ent is well settled in its new quarters
and is in a much better condition to
handle it's freight business. The COM
pletion of the line to Clinton, Ok, has
opened up a rich section of country to
Wichita tobbers.
H. c. Conley, commercial agent
Frisco railway said: "Our trains are
coming in double sections. This does
not look like our freight business was
falling off and that we are laying men
off in the transportation department,
does it?"
